"So what do you want to know?" Sophia faced her friends who were all looking at her intently. They were wondering why she suddenly called them all at once saying that she needed to talk to them. Soohia clasped her hands together in front of her, her face turning solemn, her eyes gradually failing, looking drained. "Guys, can you tell me one thing. And be honest with me." She began.Her friends all looked at each other, not uttering anything, but seems like they all figured out what this was about and nodded their heads at each other. "Sure," Marcus said, smiling comfortingly at Sophia. She then breathed heavily dropping her hands on the table."Is it true that I'm the one who pushed for our marriage?" She asked. She expected for all of them to at least have a reaction, but their faces remained neutral, having an understanding between them."I thought you guys would be uncomfortable with the question, but I guess you're already expecting this, huh?" Sophia lips curved upwards, show
(FLASHBACK: 7 years ago)~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~••••~•••~[KRING! KRING! KRING! KRING!]Inside a huge room, a girl was sleeping soundly, unaffected by the constant ringing of the alarm clock that was in the night table beside her bed.The flares of the sun were already penetrating the curtain, illuminating the whole room that was painted white with pink stripes at the edges."Hmmm..." The girl groaned, her hand getting out of her blanket, moving it around to turn off the alarm."Ow..." She gasped when she fluttered her eyes open, feeling dizzy because of the huge headache she was having. She got up and sat in a squatting position in her bed, leisurely looking at the time, her hazel eyes half open. She rubbed her eyes when she saw that it was already quarter to 8 O'clock thinking that she must be seeing it wrong, but when it still showed 7:45 her eyes bulged as she hastily threw her blanket away and run to the bathroom."Oh God! Why didn't anyone wake me up!" She yell
"Is she alright?" The man asked with an authorative voice, the nurse even had to blink twice from how harsh his tone was, but disregarded it, not wanting to cause trouble, knowing that some of these elite students can cut her out of her job."She's fine, a little ice packet will fix this just fine." The nurse said, handing him the ice packet and leaving the room. Sophia wanted to cry out and ask her to stay, but she knew that he was staring at her and didn't want to make the wrong move. "Here, put this on your ankle." The man said, casually throwing the ice packet her way. Sophia caught it and secretly glared at him for being too rude to her.'Can't he see that I'm in pain? Tsk! What's with that attitude, is he naturally a born jerk?' She ranted, not realizing that she was speaking her thoughts aloud."Sure, you can say that." She got startled when he suddenly spoke and darted her eyes to him, feeling cold water splashed on her."D-did you hear that?" She asked, trembling."You were
"Sophia what club do you want to join in?" Kate asked as both of them wandered the school quadrangle to search for clubs that'll pique their interest.It's already been a month, and Sophia has already forgotten the events of her first day of school. She successfully evaded Caden who was just about everywhere, and to add more to her problem, the students had already gone along and created a group full of his supporters and fans. Thankfully she was good at being invincible when she wanted to, but of course when it's time for her to shine, she also has a clear grasp on how to do it. Which was why she wanted to join the music club. If she wasn't taking business administration right now, her second option would have been to pursue music. Ever since she was little she was in love with music. Her Nana would always sing to her. Even her mother always say that she got her beautiful voice from her grandmother."Soph...Soph! Are you listening to me?" Kate was already frustrated, not knowing wha
(BACK TO THE PRESENT)~~~•••~~~~~•••~~~~~•••~~~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••"Hey she's moving...Soph are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere?" Sophia fluttered her eyes open, trying to see who it was that was talking to her."Soph?" She got up, but Marcus and Kate gently pushed her back, not wanting her to strain her energy."What happened?" She asked, her throat raspy and funny. "You collapsed, your nose was bleeding, we got scared, the hospital was too far from here, thank goodness the guards called the infirmary of the school when they saw us and they allowed us to take you in here." Kate rambled, worried about her friend."I'm surprised they did this. They're usually so uptight about outsiders." Sophia said, groaning when she felt a tremendous pain in the back of her head accompanied by ringing sounds."Not really, given that were alumnus here I think they should still give some regard to us. Plus, Caden's family is an investor here, and I'm sure they know who you are." Kate said, making
"Good morning, you're up early." Caden greeted seeing Sophia walking down the stairs."Uh-hmm..." Sophia maintained a cold expression."Do you want to eat together?" He asked, packing his things up in the living room. Sophia quickly declined saying she's going out. "Who are you seeing?" Caden's tone changed into a deeper one. Sophia gave him a side eye, and stopped in front of the door, one hand already holding knob. "I'm no seeing someone, I'm going back to the academy.""Why?" Caden asked, frowning."I think I can gain my memories back if I go there since it seems that's where my memory started to fail." She said. Caden dropped his things and turned to her fully, his body expressing severe disapproval."You can't..." He said, sweat forming in the sides of his forehead."And why not?" Sophia raised a brow at him, wondering why he was against the idea."Because..." He thought of a reason, and quickly made up a perfect one," Because you're going there alone, it's too dangerous for yo
(7 YEARS AGO)~~~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~~~"You've been quiet lately. Is there something bugging you?" Kate asked Sophia who was busy staring at the window, not sure if she was even listening to her.She noticed that she was spacey these past few days, the others didn't seem to notice it, but she's been friends with Sophia since they were kids, so she knows that there was definitely going on."Soph," She snapped her fingers in front of her face, pulling her out of her reverie."W-what? What did you say?" Sophia asked thoughtlessly."I said...ugh, nothing, let's talk later." Kate suddenly got up and left, leaving Sophia confused. She saw her leaving through the door and a man also quickly followed."Is she meeting someone?" She mumbled, thinking why she suddenly acted like that, as she continued to stare at the window, her mind full, especially about what happened to her and Caden that kept playing over and over in her head, to the point that she even dreamed about
[Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!]The alarm clock woke Sophia up as she groggily got up and pressed it to turn it off. She looked in front of her mirror and there were bite marks all over her neck. Caden and her has been experimenting for a while now. Although they haven't done the deed, but what they're doing is more than enough for her to have a clear grasp of the real adult life, aside from the school and academics. Before she can't even get what the girls in her class are talking every time they go to a party. But now, just one word was enough for her face to heat up in understanding about what they were talking about, especially the sensual things.She leisurely went to the bathroom, seeing that it was almost 7:30 and Caden always picks her up at the exact same time. Which is also one thing that they tend to do almost every day now. Caden would pick her up, just outside the gates so thay no one would see them, and then they go to school together, and he would drop her off a few kilome
"Sophi... babe, wake up," Sophia groaned when she felt someone kissing her face. She never wants to be disturbed in her sleep, but when the person calling her stole a kiss on her lips, her eyes quickly opened, and the charming smile of her husband, Grey, welcomed her sight. His sparkling ocean blue eyes, looking at her with so much passion and love more than she can ever begin to describe."Babe, why are you waking me up, it's saturday," She groaned, moving further in the bed.But Grey also moved along with her, determined to wake his sleepy wife up. "If you don't want to get up then I'm also mot getting up, but I assure you, someone else more loud will come barging in if you don't get up now," Grey whispered in her ears as hugged her from behind. "So be it," Sophia replied without much care, and Grey chuckled at her indifference. He looked at the clock, and when it exactly ticked at 7:30 o'clock the door of their room also bursted open, revealing an angry looking Caius."Mommy, P
"Are you sure we're going to that damned island?" Sophia asked, wondering what got into Caden's head for choosing the island where they were trapped in as the location for their honeymoon. "Do you trust me?" Caden asked, gazing at her with soulful eyes that Sophia couldn't resist."Go away!""Hey~hey, why are you so hot today, did I do something wrong?" Caden asked, placing feathery kisses on her nape as she turned her back on him. "I already told you I don't want to go there, do you wish that I sleep on the sand? Is this your idea of a romantic honeymoon?" Sophia complained, huffing.Caden chuckled at her cuteness and didn't think much about the hurtful words she was saying. He stuck his tongue out and travelled it along her nape. Sophia could feel the wetness of his tongue moving along her skin.She tried to stop the moan from coming out of her mouth but she can't suppress it, not when Caden is sucking her sweet spot behind her ears that sent bolts of electricity all throughout h

In a humongous church located in the South Hills, people were clamoring. Every guest, every family, every relative was seated in the rows of chairs that was adorned with white petal roses. And in the altar stood two gentleman, one wearing a white tuxedo and the other wearing an earthy brown color."Are you nervous?" Axel asked Caden who was constantly fixing his tie whenever he got the chance. "I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable with this clothes I'm wearing," Caden replied, still struggling to fix the tie that was wrapped in his neck."Well if you say so, but as your best man, I advice you to breathe properly, because I'm sure the moment you see my sister, you will need to breathe sharply as you can," Axel said, displaying a lot of pride for his sister. It was known that Axel Williams loved his younger sister dearly, although they don't show it publicly, but as much as he can, whenever their paths cross, he would always shower her with the best treatment he can give. Caden di
(One Year Later) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“I can’t believe you're getting married again. And to your ex-husband no less,” Kate exclaimed. But it was not out of disapproval, but she just really finds it funny how things travelled in a huge circle for Sophia. “Just zip it Kate, everything worked out well in the end so it’s not totally a bad ending for Sophia, plus this is good, Caius will have a father now, and they can finally torture each other and not drag anyone into their childish pranks~” Klare groaned hysterically on the last part.She just got back from County B and this was her and Aiden’s first time seeing Sophia after such a long time. And not to mention the little devil in disguise, Caius.She really thought that he was the purest and sweetest kid, but then, when she saw her supposedly long hair cut almost half its original length, she instantly knew not to go near that kid ever again. “I’m really sorry about what happened Klare, but you really also d
“Is this the first time you visit him?” Caden asked. They were now squatting in the grass in front of Grey’s tombstone. The day wasn’t getting any brighter and soon the whole cemetery will be covered in darkness, and the likeliness of fog to shroud isn’t too far fetched given the landscape and location of the place.They did nothing the whole time but sit and contemplate. Sophia upon hearing his question straightened her back and left Caden’s warm embrace to look him in the eye. A nostalgic expression appeared in her face, her eyes gradually dimming with sadness, “I haven’t got the courage before to visit him, the truth is…I might actually still be in denial before, that… he is really gone. It’s just so hard, knowing that I’ll never get to see him again,” Sophia muttered, her voice heavy with emotion.Caden nodded his head, “So what pushed you to finally come here?”“You, I guess,”“Me?” Caden pointed to himself in disbelief.“Well not just you, also Caius. I never thought he would
It is currently a Saturday morning. And Caden received a weird message from Sophia telling him that he should be at her house around eight o'clock.He didn't ask further about the reason why he was asking him to go and he just went there, perfectly neat, his jet black hair silked to the back, and he is wearing a more comfortable clothes this time. A grey sweatpants and a black shirt. When he rang the doorbell, there wasn't any immediate response. He waited for a couple of seconds again before ringing it and like the first time, no response.He was about to call Sophia but then he heard light footsteps coming from the other side. And soon enough, he could hear the locks clicking open and the door creaked."Uncle?" Caden looked down to see Caius wearing onesie dinosaur. He looked so cute, but he also looked like as if he just woke up.Caden scooped him in his arms and gave him feathery kisses as a greeting."Hello Buddy, where's your mom?" He asked, and the little boy groaned, feelin
"Baby, mommy will have dinner with uncle okay? You behave with auntie Kate and uncle Marcus and don't be naughty," Sophia spoke while looking at the mirror, putting on a light pink lipstick as she prepared for her and Caden's dinner tonight."Don't worry mommy, I will be good," Caius said, standing beside Kate as he looked cheekily at her.Kate looked at him with a dry smile already knowing that they will have a tiring evening ahead of them. Why did she even say 'yes' in the first place? She should have just told Sophia 'no' right? "Don't worry Soph, me and the little guy will have fun tonight," Marcus chimed in. Kate gave him a side look and sighed in her heart.Right...it was because of her boyfriend, him and Caius always got along well, but for some reason the little rascal disliked her, well not really dislike her, but he likes doing pranks to her and always successfully makes it appear like an accident.Like one time, when her and Marcus was babysitting him three months ago, Cai
"Mommy, Uncle, look! Caius is having so much fun!" Caius yelled as he bounced on the trampoline. Caden and Sophia stayed outside, looking at him with smiles on their faces.The awkward atmosphere still hasn't receded between the two of them. "What food do you like for lunch?" Caden suddenly asked on the side. "I'm okay with anything, but Caius on the other hand can be quite picky," Sophia said, waving at her son who looked at their spot."You shouldn't spoil him that much Soph, if he grows up to be a spoiled brat it won't be good for you," Caden said. And they exchanged gazes at each other, but Sophia didn't quite react kindly to what he said."I know my son well Caden, and I'm not spoiling him, he's just picky because of his allergies, and I don't think you're in the place to say things about how I should raise my son. I've done well for three years of raising him alone, and I don't need you to make snarky comments or anyone else's about my parenting style," Sophia harrumphed, cro
