Deadly obsession Wolf in sheep clothing
Sophia’s POV.Then she asked her favor. "I want you to do me a favor, sweetheart."I was inwardly groaning. The usual favor she would never tire of asking. "What is it?" Resignation showed in my voice more than curiosity.She managed a sad little smile that provoked a surge of pity witnesses in me. "I want you to be nice to Mira ... your father's girlfriend. Look, I know you haven't really been getting along, but she's important to him. And I don't want you to give him a hard time." Mother pleaded with me. I remained silent for a long moment, searching for the right words. But why should I sugarcoat sincerity? I do not like Mira at all!But I can’t say no to Mother.Especially now, when she'd worked so hard to get it all to work for us?"I guess I will try," I muttered after an eternity, looking down at my hands. It sounded terribly empty to me, but it was all I could say. I would try. That was all I could promise."Thank you, Sophia," she said, brushing her fingers lightly over my
Last Updated : 2025-02-17Deadly obsession Leaked!
Sophia's POVI woke up early the next morning; my head was still pounding but not as violently as the day before.Even though the early sunlight barely shone through the curtains, that quietness felt oddly comforting. The last few days had weighed heavy in my chest, and pressure would build with every minute that passed. I had to do something to try and make it right, or at least salvage some piece. And the first thing I wanted to do was to thank Jack but also plead with him to keep our night stand a secret.I rubbed my eyes and very slowly sat up in bed. My body was sore, but I didn't mind. It was somehow a reminder that I had been doing something, living even though it was reckless. I walked into the bathroom, hoping that some quick bathing would clear my head, but deep down, I understood that I was just running away from the constantly gnawing feeling of shame just behind. The warm water, even soothing at times, made me feel a little relief as I submerged myself and let the heat in
Last Updated : 2025-02-17Deadly obsession DESPERATION LETS IN
Sophia’s POV The morning light streamed into my room, but I had not been granted a revival just quite yet. I still had my mother softly knocking on the door. “Who is it?” I grunted in annoyance, unable to open my eyes due to the banging in my head. "Sophia? It’s breakfast time, dear," she called out from the other side. I rubbed my temples, forcing myself to get up, and whether I could make it to breakfast at that moment was the lesser of my concerns. I sighed as I threw the sheets aside, slipped off my bed to the floor, down to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face, and trudged to meet my reflection. I barely even identified myself anymore. My face was pale; my eyes bloodshot, and my hair looking like an abandoned bird’s nest. I began to feel terribly guilty as I brushed the knots out of my hair. I wasn't ready for any of this at all... But I had to face it. After a quick shower , I reluctantly felt like dragging myself downstairs. Maybe food would help with my hang

Sophia's POV"I need your help."Alexander did not even blink; he continued to read, the pages being turned almost too loudly within that quiet room. After a few long moments, he finally raised his gaze to meet mine. His face was blank, his eyes were cold, but something I could not place flickered there, sending my stomach into knots."What is it?" he asked, that calm, measured tone of his grinding through my last nerves. I wanted him to feel the importance of this. I wanted him to understand how desperate I truly was."I- I am being blackmailed," I said, the words weighing like lead as they left my lips. "There is a tape. Of you. With a woman. I think the woman is me... I know the woman is me." The words came out in a rush, each syllable interrupted by sharp breaths. Once the words fell from my mouth, time seemed to freeze , yet Alexander appeared indifferent, matter of fact he looked bored.A brief flicker of recognition, an eyebrow raised, and then silence. He waited for me to get

Sophia's POVI was dressing in front of the mirror, while chaotic emotions swept over me. Alexander told me I had to dress. He promised there was this old friend of his we were going to meet-who could help us out with the blackmailer.But that blackmail thing was still hanging heavily on me. I couldn't shut my eyes without the vision of the video coming up.I slipped on a tight, dress-a navy blue so dark it accented the paleness of my skin. My makeup turned up shaky-around the mascara, I could hardly get anything on my lashes. There was too much pounding in my heart.The light knock had broken the fright."Miss Sophia? Master Alexander sent to ask if you are ready?" A shy maid had asked, still lingering in the doorway."Almost," I said bravely.After a few moments, I threw one final glance in the mirror, adjusting the fabric of my dress, and went through the door. As I stepped into the hallway, I saw, unmistakably, my mom in my room. She hung on her phone, her lips drawn in a frown.E

Sophia's POV"A cleaner," he said flatly. "From the club where you and Alexander had your affair."A cleaner?A cleaner blackmailing me?That brought a chill to my blood. In a split second, my mind was yelling at me for letting my guard down so bad that a mere cleaner had the nerve to threaten me.For a moment, an impression tinted with the dark color of the wait came upon me. I could feel Alexander gauging my reaction; ten sets of eyes would have hurt less than his cold, demeaning look. With that realization, I felt the walls of the room closing in on me, the air suddenly became suffocating and my palms became sweaty.I swallowed hard, trying to slow my breath, but my rage only intensified.I repeated, "A cleaner?" incredulous. I stared from James to Alexander, praying someone would come up with something better. But none did as Alexander's face remained the same, only changing when , his brows knitting together in shock as he turned to look at me."Are you satisfied?" he asked with

Sophia’s POVThe cold night air hit me like a slap in the face just as I stepped out from the restaurant. My emotions ran the gamut—confusion, anger, bitterness, and a hint of something else I had yet to name.The talk with James had unsettled me. He had sounded calm, cool, and collected, as if this were merely another ordinary problem to solve. Yet for me, this was a nightmare. It was a nightmare I could not awake from.And then Alexander had to make things worse.“You satisfied now?” he spoke, eyes betraying a mix of emotions I could not pluck an identity for. “I’ll make sure the cleaner doesn’t live to tell the story.”Was he serious? Did he kill whoever leaked his tape with my mother?Could it be that was why I had been unable to watch the tape?A shiver raced down my spine.“Gross! Why would I ever wanna watch mum’s tape!”I looked up at him now as we walked back to the car. Calmness appeared to envelop him. Not a trace of worry registered on his expression. Not even a little fli
Last Updated : 2025-02-18Deadly obsession In love with my step father 2
Sophia’s POVI remained still, frozen in the doorway of my room, while I watched Alexander sitting on the edge of my bed. He was stiff, but his expression was no longer one of arrogance. For the first time, I saw something else in him: a hint of vulnerability, something unexpected. He did not look like someone who had kept me at an arm's length for so long. Just... uncertain.He began with a steady voice laced with something soft, almost regretful, as he uttered my name. “Sophia, I owe you an apology.”I blinked in astonishment. An apology from his lips? Now we were treading new waters, complete with foreign currents. I crossed my arms, not sure how to respond.“I’ve been… cold,” he said steadily but never-ending gaze with mine. “I know that. And for all the cruel things that I said to you, for ignoring you like I did, I’m sorry.” He broke eye contact, looking down to his hands for a second, almost as though gathering his thoughts to continue. “I just didn’t want to give you an openin

The snow-covered streets outside transformed into a shimmering spectacle under streetlights creating an artificial winter wonderland. A turbulent storm brewed within me.I adjusted my position on the couch while a dull ache spread through my lower back causing me to grimace. An incessant discomfort had persisted throughout the day which prevented any genuine relaxation.

Deadly obsession A Christmas Wedding
(Sophia’s POV)The external atmosphere presented a sharp quality infused with pine essence and the aroma of newly deposited snow. An unnatural winter wonderland emerged within the grand wedding hall where magic and reality blended into an ethereal realm. Golden fairy lights hung across towering Christmas trees lining the aisle while their glow reflected on crystal icicle decorations suspended from the ceiling. The white-carpeted aisle's edges hosted flickering candles that projected a dreamy haze across the breathtaking scene. The atmosphere carried an intricate blend of cinnamon roasted chestnuts and subtle vanilla notes which emanated from the towering white and gold wedding cake that stood proudly at the hall's distant end.In the bridal suite before a majestic mirror I stood while my hands lay upon my swollen belly and I observed my own image. The dress I wore transformed into a winter dream—an elegant long-sleeved lace gown adorned with intricate snowflake embroidery along its sh
Deadly obsession The Wedding Eve Chaos

Florists positioned extravagant bouquets featuring ivory roses alongside gold-dusted lilies and crimson orchids upon the grand tables. The decorators busily fixed shimmering silk drapes to the ceiling while their golden threads gleamed under the crystal chandeliers. A delicate melody unfolded in the background as an instrumental love song version played which immediately caused my heart to ache with nostalgic longing.From my distant corner seat I observed events unfold before me while Valerie sat beside me displaying complete disinterest.

Deadly obsession The apology
Sophia’s POVWhen the woman entered the room an unnatural silence descended as though a heavy curtain had fallen. All dialogue ceased while utensils remained suspended in mid-motion. My breath caught in an unnatural pause when I beheld her presence.The reality of her presence defied my initial expectations.The woman before us appeared entirely different from the youthful seductive image tabloids crafted in their grainy misleading photo. She existed as an older woman whose grace manifested through silver streaks that ran through her impeccably styled dark hair. The eyes she possessed showed intelligence and discernment yet bore the burden of experience instead of the playful mischief I had once envisioned. She displayed the sophisticated grace of a self-made empress whose presence demanded immediate respect upon her entrance into any room.I swallowed hard my stomach twisting with guilt.In what ways did my actions reach such levels of foolishness? How could I so readily question the

Deadly obsession THE OTHER PICTURE
Sophia’s POVWhen Alexander entered the hospital room an unnatural change in the air occurred. His presence remained as commanding as ever yet it was his appearance that drew attention. His typical serene and invulnerable presence transformed into an unfamiliar state. He looked… exhausted. Dark shadows outlined his piercing blue eyes while his meticulously crafted suit displayed slight wrinkles suggesting prolonged wear. The state of his tie appeared slack while his top button remained open.The aspect that disturbed my equilibrium to the greatest degree was his manner of gazing upon me.Not at Valerie. Not at Rachel. The girl restrained in the chair was not the focus.Me.His eyes remained inscrutable and icy, examining my essence as though seeking an elusive truth. My fists pressed into the blanket while my heart pounded wildly against my ribcage. My anger toward him reached an unnatural intensity.

An overwhelming pressure crushed my chest as Valerie entered the room and I instantly realized she withheld secrets from me.Before she could settle I pushed myself up slightly. Tell me. ”Valerie sighed while rubbing her temples as though she pondered whether to lie or tell the truth.I articulated "Valerie" again with increased sharpness in my voice. “Reveal the information to me immediately. ”An unnatural pause marked her actions. “Sophia, maybe you should—”My communication with her ended abruptly by my own decision.
