SophieI stood there shocked. She is not my real mother?, so that explains why I look nothing like her. But I thought I just took my dad gene. But even then the only thing I have from my dad is his brown hair and blue eyes, every other thing is different. So that is why she hates me, that is why she has been treating me horribly."H..ho….." I couldn't finish my statement. I fell on the floor losing consciousness. The last thing I heard is."Sophie!!"******I felt light slaps on my face."Sophie, Sophie wake up" I heard a voice. I slowly opened my eyes. I saw dad sitting beside me on the bed looking worried. "What happened?" I asked, sitting up."You fainted" he said. Then I remembered why I faint. So mo.. No so Jessica is not my mother. So that is why she hated me all this while. I don't even know how to feel or how to process my emotions."So it's true. She is not my mother" I said, looking at dad. "Yes, it's true" dad said, looking down."How did it happen?" I asked. He sigh facin
Sophie PovI hugged him. At first he didn't hug me back but he slowly wrap his arms around me, I rest my head on his shoulders, happy I was getting a fatherly love. I heard dad sniffing."I'm so sorry princess, I'm sorry for not being the best dad, I'm sorry for not supporting your dreams, I'm sorry for always neglecting you and I am sorry for not being the ideal dad, please forgive me" he said, crying. I hug him back, also silently crying."I forgive you dad" I said. He pulled back and used both of his hands to hold my head like he usually does when I was younger."Thank you so much princess, and I'm sorry about putting you in that situation. Like I said you have a choice to walk away" he said."Don't worry dad I'm going to do it" I said. "Thank you so much Sophie" he said. I smiled."So do you know anything about my mother, like where she is?" I asked. He shook his head."After that night I never saw your mother again, I didn't search for her again because she knew how to hide well.
Everett"You are getting married" he said, still glaring at me. I laugh thumbling over my sit. I looked at grandfather and laugh harder, but he was not laughing, he was just glaring at me. I stop laughing."Wait, you are serious? Who is getting married. I never brought a wife home" I said."You are getting married Everett, I found the perfect wife for you and you have no say about it because either you like it or not, you are getting married!" He yelled. And just like that my dick went flat."Grandfather you must be joking, there is no way I am getting married" I said, scoffing."You have no choice Everett, remember even if you are the CEO of the Anderson Corp I still own the Corp, it is still under my name. And your real estate business you started the Anderson Corp owns 60% of the shares. So if you don't get married to the woman I choose for you, I will take everything you started and I will disown you from the family! You know it is something I can do, I never gave your father the
EverettWe parked in the driveway, I looked outside the window. It is a mini mansion, the house is kind of nice."Do not embarrass me Everett, and take some mint can't have you smelling like alcohol in the morning" he said, throwing a bottle of mint in my direction. I glare at him, I am not even smelling of alcohol, he just likes dragging things."Crazy old man" I said, under my breath."I heard that, fucking get your ass out of the car" he said, coming down from the car. I opened the bottle and I took two mints. I came down from the car and entered with my grandfather. He pressed the doorbell and it was opened up by a man."Good morning sir, please come in," he said, gesturing inside. We both entered the house, I walked beside grandfather with a bored look on my face."Smile Everett, you are meeting your in-laws" he said, lowly. I rolled my eyes. My freedom is about to be taken from me by that crazy stalker and he expects me to smile? I can't smile at such a thing. Any attitude I giv
Sophie After dad and I talked I slept off and I only went downstairs for dinner and you can imagine the stares I was getting from Jessica and Anna. Roles were reversed during dinner. Dad and I converse while Anna and Jessica were very quiet and just glaring at us, but we didn't care we continued eating our food nonchalantly. They both later got angry by our over night closeness and left the dining room. It was very amusing to watch. And I was happy we also get to be the one's chatting and talking about irrelevant things. This morning however was different, they both kept smirking at me during breakfast and I was wondering what was happening and why they were both smirking. I was really suspicious, dad and I were quiet because of their smirks and little laugh. Nobody was conversing but the smirks on their faces were alerting. Then after breakfast I went to my room to dress up and I saw that the cloth that I planned on wearing was ripped, their were several holes, the cloth was so disf
Sophie Pov"I am going to make you regret ever getting married to me Sophie, that I promise you" he said, glaring at me. I looked at him speechless, he doesn't want to get married. I opened my mouth to talk but I couldn't get the words out."I…I a…." I stopped talking because he left. He headed back to the house while I just stared at his back, shocked. I stand there still trying to process this new acquired information. Do I still want to get married to a man that doesn't even want to get married? A loveless marriage like dad's own? No I can't, I can't be in a loveless marriage. With that I walk back inside the house then head straight to the dining room. Papa Pat and dad were laughing while Jessica and Anna were quietly eating their food fuming. Everett was pressing his phone, food long forgotten. I sat on my seat. "Hey, I'm back" I said. Everyone attention turned on me. Well everyone except Everett, he was just pressing his phone and tapping the screen hard. Poor phone, he is lite
Sophie Pov"My daughter? You actually think you are my daughter? Ask your whore of a mother where she got you from, because you are not my daughter!" Dad yelled. And just like that everywhere was quiet, no sound could be heard it looked like a bomb was dropped, well technically a bomb was dropped, At least this should be interesting at least I am my father's daughter, the real Lee but she is the real bastard because she is not a Lee. I relaxed on my chair and took my drink, sipping it. I guess it is fun for these horrible two to be under the bus. "Are you smiling? You enjoy this right!" Anna yells, looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders. She walked to me slowly."This is your fault, everything that happened is your fault! You stole Everett from me and now dad is denying me!" She yelled, crying. I stood up from my chair pissed. "How many times do I have to tell you that I didn't steal him! He was never yours!" I yelled. Then I heard a slap, she fucking slapped me. I held my cheek."A
Sophie Pov"Dad!" I yelled, running to him. Jessica had shot at him but before she could actually shoot a police officer had shot her. "Arg!!" Jessica yelled, holding her bleeding leg. They quickly collected the gun. She didn't shoot but was about too. I ran to dad."Thank God you are safe" I said, hugging him. He hugged me back, and I pulled back. I looked at Jessica who was bleeding and crying on the floor, Anna was also crying. But I know she was crying for herself and not her mother. The officer dragged Jessica out with Anna following behind them. I know the media has gotten everything that just happened right now, the both of them will never come back from this. I looked outside and I could see the paparazzi trying to question the both of them but the policeman dragged them. Dad went to sit on his chair. I looked at him in pity, he got married to the wrong woman, I can only hope my own story is different.Everett PovI entered the car and slammed it. I know that grandfather w
Ario POV“What!” Jane yelled in shock. We got back yesterday, and although I wish to tell everyone what happened on our journey, I was too tired because for a week and a few days I have not slept, and Odin didn’t sleep on our way back, so we immediately went to sleep. We have been sleeping since yesterday morning until this afternoon, and right now I still feel so sleepy.“Yes, Jane, we are truly doomed,” I said, rubbing my head. I have terrible migraines.“Oh no, this is terrible,” she said, roaming the conference room. I sighed, my head seriously banging. If I’m not careful, I will have a mental breakdown. This is too much for me to take in, and my lack of sleep didn’t help. We may be powerful gods, but we are also humans with flesh and a weak body system.“So what are we going to do?” she asked. I coughed out, sighing.“I guess we will look for Selene; Mabel said she is currently in Isak's broken down palace; that was the clue,” I said. And they all nod their heads.“Missed me,” a
Sophie Pov We quietly left the hotel, and we entered the car. He turned the car on. He drives quietly, just looking at the road. I look at him, feeling so guilty that I didn’t call him.“I’m sorry,” I apologize again, quietly. He looks at me and sighed, not replying me. The ride was awkward and intense as we both sat down, each in our own thoughts. After the long and intense ride, we finally got home. Dad and I came down from the car and head inside quietly. I look at the familiar living room that I grow up in. This house brings me bad memories, memories I don’t want to think of or remember. Dad and I sat down on the couch beside each other. He sighed.“What happened Sophie? Why were you ignoring my calls?” he asked.“Dad, what did Everett say to you?” I asked. He sighed.“He said he saw you with a man in a hotel and you suddenly disappeared,” he said. So Everett is implying that I am a whore, and I abandoned everyone to have fun with a man?“Do you believe him?” I asked him.“No, no
Sophie Pov"Ohh" I replied, and continued washing the plates. She quietly cleaned the plates lost in her thoughts."You don't want to talk to him?" She asked. I wonder if I should be pissed she is intruding or I should just answer her. I looked up at her and she looks like she genuinely cares."It's not like I don't want to reply to him, I just don't want to bother him with my life when he is going through his own issues" I said, washing the plates."What do you mean?" She asked."Well he just recently went through a lot with his former marriage and he is working towards bringing his company back to its feet while trying to search for my non-existent mother, I don’t think it’s fair to bother him with my life” I said. She went quiet.“You think your mother is non-existent?” she asked, softly.“Yes I think she is, dad has been searching for her and she refuses to show up unless she is dead. I believe she is seeing everything that is happening to him and their daughter on the news and s
Sophie PovLandon and I walk inside the big hotel heading to the penthouse hand in hand. It looks like our new thing is to walk hand in hand. We entered the elevator quite tired."It's been a long day," I said, running my hand through my hair."Yeah, I just feel like collapsing on a soft bed and sleeping till thy kingdom comes" he said, putting 1 percent of his weight on me. I smiled as the elevator dinged. We both walked to the door, he put in his thumb and the door opened."I didn't know that was there" I said as we entered. My eyes widened looking at the people in front of me."What are you guys doing here?" Landon asked, irritation lacing his voice."Don't you dare you talk to me like that boy" the woman snapped. Landon bit his lips breathing out."What are you doing here mom?" He asked again with a nicer tone. Wow he calls her mom, nice. She rolled her eyes."I came to check up on Sophie," she said, looking at me. I looked at her shocked, me? She came to check on me?"Me?" I aske
Sophie PovLandon and I walked down the street staring at what people sell through the window. The car was packed somewhere as we can't do window shopping in a car."Look at that" I said, pointing to a cloth from the window."That will look great on you" I said, looking serious. He scoffed."No thanks," he said. I burst out laughing. It was a small boutique, there were some mannequins in the front with clothes on them. One particular mannequin was putting on a really baggy trouser with an equally baggy shirt not to talk of the bright color, it looks awful."That is just bad business" I said, dragging him away by linking our arms."How do you know it's a bad business?" He asked, as we both walked."Well we have seen so many boutiques right?" I asked."Yes, continue," he said. "And each of them has really nice clothes" I said."Okay?" He asked."So if I want to buy something of course I will go to a boutique with nicer looking clothes on their mannequins, that clothes are way too baggy
Sophie PovWe were in the car heading to the next mysterious location and I am so excited.“You have been incredibly hyper” Landon said, chuckling.“Of course, I have never had fun like now, I can’t help but be excited” I said, smiling.“Good that you are excited because we are here” he said. I look outside and I can’t tell where we are. I came down from the car with Landon coming down also.“Let’s go,” he said. I followed beside him looking around, the place has a wide road with flags pointing at the direction you should go probably. Then suddenly different karts passed by us in a rush making a voom sound. I smiled.“We are definitely riding that, '' I said, looking at Landon. He laughed.“I knew that would give it away,” he said.“This is so awesome” I said. He smiled. We talked further as I looked around, I can’t wait to get on one of those bad boys. We got to a place and some men were there, helping some other people wear their helmets and stuff.“Good afternoon sir” one of them
Sophie PovWe have been driving for some time now."Where are we going?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled."I was waiting for you to ask me since but you didn't. But not to worry, we are almost there" he said. I sank in my chair as he continued driving, drumming his hand on his laps."Do you like drumming?" I asked, looking at his finger. He stopped beating his finger."Not really just that I like keeping my fingers busy sometimes" he said. I nod my head, well that explains everything. After sometime we got to a secluded area filled with hills and mountains but there was a building there. I looked around surprised."What's this?" I asked, looking at him. "Let's find out," he said, coming down from the car. I removed the seat belt and came down. "Come on, let's go" he said, entering the building. I followed behind him as he passed through some places. We burst out of another place and it seemed there were some people waiting for us. "Good morning Mr Sanchez" one man greets bringi
Sophie Pov"Sophie" a voice called shaking me. I turned away from the voice as I never want to wake up, this is the best sleep I have had since ages. I just want to sleep. The voice chuckled. I felt the bed deepening."Sophie come on get up, you've been sleeping for hours' ' the voice said again pulling me up with my hand. I groggily opened my eyes and I came face to face with Mr Sanchez."Mr Sanchez?" I asked, confused. He frowned."I thought we agreed on calling each other our names," he said. I looked around me and it all cleared up, I am staying with him now. I remembered what happened yesterday when I wanted to kiss him, my cheeks hit up as I became embarrassed. Thank God he stopped me because I was not in my right senses yesterday."Good morning," I said. He smiled coming down from the bed. He carried a tray, the tray was filled with food. I looked at him as my heart melted, nobody has ever done this for me before."Breakfast in bed for the pretty lady," he said, placing the tra
Sophie PovAfter I finished crying I cleaned my tears sitting up properly. He unwrapped his arms from my body."Are you okay?" He asked. I looked up at him."Yes," I replied. He looked at me, his blue eyes boring holes into my equally blue eyes, he outstretched his hand. His warm palm landed on my cheeks as he learned my tears. "You shouldn't waste your tears on people that did not deserve it" he said, putting my hair behind my ears. He looked at me, removing his hand then he went back to his seat and continued with his food. I smiled looking down at my food, then I started eating it looking at Mr Sanchez."How did you know Everett?" I asked. His hands tightened once again on his spoon as he gritted his teeth angrily. I looked at him wondering what on earth happened between both of them that they hate each other so much. "Everett is someone I knew from the past," he said, not going further. I decided not to push it, even though I am super curious. We continued eating our food in sil
