Sophie's POV
"Sophie, I'm so sorry for what happened a while ago." Lance said to me while patting my shoulders.Vincent just went here a while ago and he even tried to take me with him. Good thing I was able to defend myself and told him not to show his face to me anymore."Lance, I think I need to leave your house already." I said as I wiped the tears in my eyes. "If I stay here, I know Vincent will just keep on going here and try to get me again.""Okay, then let's just buy a house for you somewhere. Although I prefer you to be here since if you are here, I know that you are safe. I can watch over you. Please just stay here for a while, Sophie.""But---"Stay here for a while until you can finally find a decent job and rent your own pad."I heaved a sigh. "Okay.""Thank you. Vincent will finally stop going here, I know that. He already heard it from you so for sure he will follow what you just said.""I hope so, I don't really want to sSophie's POV"She is Sophie Laurens." Lance introduced me to a brunette in her 30s wearing a pink chiffon dress. Based on Lance, her name is Thea and she is the one who assessess the new models who wants to be part of their team.I quickly smiled at her and bowed. "Hi, I am Sophie Laurens and I would like to be one of your models here.""Do you have any experience in modeling before?" She asked without wearing any emotion on her face."I haven't done it before. This is actually my first time." I answered.She nodded as she continue scanning my whole body. "Can you turn around?""Y-Yeah..."I turned around as what she has said and I couldn't also help myself from trembling since it feels like she was assessing every inch of me and my soul."I like your face, your height, and the way you dress. You are in, your training will start tomorrow."My eyes widened as I looked at Lance. Then I looked at Miss Thea again."Really? I can
Sophie's POV"Can you turn around?" asked Miss Thea to me when I was finally wearing the dress that she wanted me to wear."Y-Yes, of course." I said then I turned around.She nodded. "That dress suits you so well. Now, I would like you to meet Denee, she will be the one to train you until you finally become a good Felestine model."A short-haired woman with glasses was introduced to me."Hello, I'm Sophie Laurens. It's so nice to meet you, Miss Denee." I said with a smile on my face.She raised an eyebrow at me. "I'm Denee Peterson, I may look like a kind person but I just want you to know that I won't be going easy on you. Just because you are recommended by Lance Jacobs, doesn't mean I will favor you too.""I-I understand...""Okay, now follow me and we will go to where I am going to train you."I just nodded while my hands were shaking. "Okay..."Why do it feels like she's going to kill me? I feel really nervous.I just foll
Sophie's POV"I will just meet you later, okay?" Lance said to me when we finally reached the company where I am training as a model.Today will be the last day of assessment and they will finally choose which model to take in their team and which model will be adopted by other agencies.It's been almost a month already. It's been a month since the day that I last saw Vincent."Yes, sure.""Sophie.""Hmm?""I'm so sorry if I won't make it today. I'm so sorry if I wouldn't be able to watch you today. I swear I will make it up to you next time."I shook my head. "You already done so much, Lance. You are the reason why I am here and I thank you so much for that. You no longer have to do anything because you've done enough."Lance gently flicked my forehead. "I already told you that you don't have to thank me.""Hehe... I just can't help myself from thanking you..""Sophie, you've done all of this. You deserve to be here because you
Sophie's POV"I would like to thank all those people who cheered me up and those people who helped me have the courage to stand again and discover what I can still do. Thank you for believing me when I can't even believe in myself. Now, I can finally say that I'm a Felestine model and it's all because of you." I said then everyone started clapping again.Miss Felestine walked towards me with a smile on her face. She was the one holding the trophy. "Congratulations, darling. You truly deserve to be the best model.""Thanks to you because I was able to get pieces of advice that helped me to be a better person.""I already knew from the start that you have the potential.""Thank you so much."She gave the trophy to me and we hugged each other then I finally went down and Lance and Sabrina approached me immediately."Congratulations to my beautiful best friend and the new Felestine Ambassador!!!" said Sabrina.Lance handed me a bou
Voltaire's POVSophie asked me to meet her. It's been a month now since the last time that I get to see her and I admit that I missed her so much.Finally, maybe she's no longer mad at me. I will apologize and ask her to live with me again. I will never let her go again. I will definitely explain things to her."Did Lucien make a move?" I asked George while I was choosing a coat to wear later when I finally got to the tower where Sophie asked me to meet her."He hasn't made any move yet, boss. I think he is plotting something again. Whenever his gang is quiet, that only means that they are planning something."I nodded. "I know, that's probably the reason. That old man's really taking his time to plan something against me. As if I would let him succeed."I stood up and looked at George. "I will just go and meet my wife. I will let you handle things here, George while I'm not around.""I understand, boss.""Good. I'll get back h
Sophie's POVI took a deep breath before finally looking into Vincent's eyes. "I want a divorce."His mouth went agape. He blinked, obviously trying to make sure if he heard it right. "W-What? C-Can you repeat it? I'm sorry, I don't think I've heard it right.""I want a divorce, Vincent." I repeated, I tried very hard for my voice not to crack. "For one month, I have thought of it deeply. I think it's time for us to finally let go of a relationship that never really existed."I stared at him. I was waiting for him to speak."Sophie, I can explain it all to you. About what you saw in the garden, Monica just forced me to kiss her, but I didn't kiss her, believe me.""No, Vincent. It's not about that anymore. I have realized that there are still things that I want to do. There are some things that I still want to experience and discover in myself.""And filing a divorce would help?" He asked, he sounded as if I was being unfair.I
Sophie's POV"Are you sure about this now, Sophie?" Lance asked me.I smiled as I nodded my head. "Yes, this is the first step. Lance, thank you so much for allowing me and Venom to stay here. We owe everything to you. Thank you so much.""I will get tired of saying this to you since you don't seem to get tired of thanking me too. Sophie, you don't have to thank me anymore. I will always be here for you no matter what happens. And now that you are finally moving out, I just want you to know that I will stay beside you. I am so proud of you."I wiped the tears in my eyes as I hugged him tight. "I don't even know what I would do if not because of you, Lance..."He just pat my shoulders then we moved away from each other. "Shall we go to your new house now?" He asked."Let's go!"I bought a unit in a condominium for me and Venom near the company where I am working as a model. I still go to school but they only give me worksheets to answe
Sophie's POVMiss Felestine stood up, the smile on her face didn't vanish. "Sophie!""G-Good morning, Miss Felestine.""Please take a seat, sweetheart.""Thank you." I sat on a couch and she sat next to me."Miss Thea said that you want to see me?" I asked.Why do I feel so nervous no that I'm in front of her."Yes, I told her that. By the way Sophie, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you in the first place that I am the CEO of this company. I just didn't want you to feel awkward towards me."I shook my head. "You don't have to apologize, ma'am. I understand you and I think it was also my fault since I didn't immediately recognize you.""Actually, I'm so glad that you weren't able to recognize me. I felt comfortable with you since the first time that we met and I don't even know why. By the way, congratulations. You truly deserve to win the competition.""Thank you so much, ma'am. It's such an honor for me to receive suc
