Lured by the double salary, she decided to become the director's assistant for six months. On her first day as an assistant, Sophia lectured an arrogant man in front of everyone. But when she realizes the man is her billionaire boss Lennox Ray, she faces the risk of being fired. "I don't need an assistant, but if you insist, then here.." he flung the papers at her. "Those are the rules, read and abide by them. If you break any, you're out." Rule number one: Do not go through my emails. Do not make loud noises. No heels allowed.Do not... Do not... Do not... It was never-ending. "Such an asshole... You've got yourself a challenge, Lennox Ray. I'm going to do my very best to please you, that when it's time for me to leave, you'll be begging me to stay with a triple increase in my fucking salary".

If it were up to me, trust me you won't be walking anywhere" he said and Sophia smiled even tho she was trying to frown at him."What are you going to do, carry me everywhere," she asked, her eyes dancing with amusement."Yes!" He answered promptly and she laughed, the sight and sound of it a balm to his heart that hadn't stopped racing in panic from the time he'd rushed in to see her bleeding out to death."Hey!" She called, touching his cheek and he gazed at her, watching her smile. "Stop thinking about the bad stuff. I'm here, with you and I'm not going anywhere"."You swear it," he asked, smiling and relaxing."Cross my heart and
Sophia gasped awake, her gaze hazy as she desperately tried to fight Jenny off only to realize that no one was trying to kill her. Sophia winced as she twitched her wrist then groaned low in her throat as she forced the fogginess that clouded her eyes to dissipate. The faces of her friends met her clear vision and she flinched again."Jesus! You three really need a lesson on personal space" she got out in a raspy voice and her friends exhaled, the worry disappearing from their gaze as they laughed."You scared the crap out of us girl. We thought you'd gone into the light and was done with us humans on this other side" Bianca said and Sana groaned."You're going to just blurt that out just some minutes after she opened her eyes"."Stop being so serious, I was just kidding" Bianca defended and Sana's hackles raised further."You both, I'm fine. I think it's too early for you two to be arguing over my ass when I don't even have the energy to play the devil's advocate" Sophia said with a
The first slash of the blade through Sophia's wrists had her head reeling in pain and she could barely get a chance to scream out her horror, when Jenny dove in with the blade again, the cut so swift and deep that it tore through the zip ties that held her in place and she watched helplessly as her blood spurt out, casting streaks across Jenny's face and soaking her front dress.Jenny pulled back sharply as the door flew and Lennox stood there, breathing hard and clutching at his rib, his eyes scanning the room until they rested on Sophia. His eyes widened in horror as they settled on her slashed wrists, then they swiftly came back to her face. He made to move towards her but Jenny rushed around Sophia, and pressed the knife to her throat, the action alone freezing Lennox in place as he glanced from Jenny to Sophia's and then back to Jenny."Don't take a step closer Lennox." She got out and pressed the knife harder against her throat when Lennox took a step forward. Sophia didn't kno
Sophia gasped awake as cold freezing water connected with her face making her jerk in her bonds before she even noticed that she was tied up to a chair. On impulse, she tried to loosen the ropes as she shook the water out of her bleary eyes, her eyes seeking for the person behind the assault.Sharp fingers suddenly bit into her chin as she was grabbed and forced to gaze up into the crazed eyes of Jenny who was smiling smugly as she inspected her handiwork."I quite love this shocked look on your face Sophia, you have no idea how much it pleases me that you look so helpless right now" she drawled out, turning her chin from side to side before shoving her head back abruptly.Sophia glared, hating the woman with every fiber of her being. "What are you trying to do? You won't get away with this".Jenny was in her face in a heartbeat. "Is that what you think pretty face because that's exactly what is going to happen. I warned you to stay away from Lennox but you thought I was just some cli
Lennox winced as he tried to open his eyes. His head felt it was splitting in on itself but he didn't care about it as he forced his eyes open and glanced around the room, his eyes searching for Sophia as his gut clenched in a surge of panic, his heart beating erratically against his chest in fear.Lennox pushed himself off the bed and tumbled to the floor, wincing as the injection attached to his vein got yanked out. He groaned as the room darkened and spun around him.Hands clutched around his waist and someone was lifting him until he was laying on the bed but he refused to lay down, he couldn't give up, not when he had not seen Sophia yet so he shoved at the person blindly and the individual let go of him and stepped back. Lennox took in a deep breath and calmed down enough for his vision to clear.Lennox stared at the man in the room, recognizing him as one of his father's bodyguards. The door opened and his parents walked in."Where is Sophia?" He asked, his throat raw and his v
Markus pulled Lennox out of the car, grimacing when he saw that he'd hurt him more than he'd intended. Jenny rushed to his side, her skin sickly pale as she stared at Lennox."Oh my gosh, you fucking killed him" she cried as she tried to get a reading on his pulse."He's not dead, he's just unconscious right now and I'll take care of it if you stop fussing over him for just a second" Markus gritted, hating that Jenny was interfering with his job. Jenny glared at him, the veins on her neck bulging in her anger. "Don't fucking tell me what to do. The plan was to kill her and not Lennox"."Will you shut your fucking yapping! The paparazzi could be here any minute so get your behind moving" he shouted and Jenny flinched as he pulled her away from Lennox. "Now go and make sure that the girl is still breathing".Jenny glared at him but did as she was told then frowned when she noticed that Sophia was still breathing, even tho the blood that was streaming down her face almost made her conc
"I saw the news just now and I'm just going to tell you not to read the nasty stuff they're writing, cause those people are just a bunch of crazy, jealous low life nobodies who are angry that you got such a hot guy like that when they couldn't," Vivienne said and Sophia laughed, smacking her hands against her face."That is like a lot of insult Mom, and I'm so happy that it's because of me.""Of course! You're my girl. If I was there, I'd have sued every one of them for defamation of character." She told, her gaze serious. "I'm sure you would have, that is if you didn't stab them in their faces first"."I've always had a very nasty temper" she agreed laughing then her gaze softened. "Are you alright dear. I know Lennox is handling everything but are you doing ok".Sophia nodded quickly. "More than ok. I'm really happy"."And that's all that matters. I'd have rushed down immediately this madness started but there's been some problem at the airport"."Mom you don't need to come... Just
Lennox watched as Sophia paced around In his Mansion after he'd explained everything that happened to her. He hated seeing her agitated and witnessing how she'd almost gotten hurt because of him made his heart squeeze. If he'd gotten there any later than he had... He didn't dare think of what might have happened because it made him see red. His parents were another problem and the threat his father had made kept messing with his head every time he glanced at Sophia. Would it be better if he just... He groaned in pain, hating the very thought of letting Sophia go. He couldn't do it. No matter what happened, he needed to fight, fight for her even if it cost him his life.Soft hands grazed his cheek and he flinched, his gaze refocusing on the present and the breathtaking woman who stood in front of him."I'm here Lennox, so you should stop worrying. Everything is going to be alright. I mean once I work my charms on your parents, they'll be on your throat to marry me" she joked, attemp
Sophia stared through the window at the people walking around the front of her house, her brows creasing as she tried to place them. Her neighborhood never had that much traffic, and people didn't just Invade other people's space just for the heck of it, especially since it was still too early, so who were they and why were they holding gadgets. The shrill sound of her phone had her jerking back in shock."I seriously need to change that ringtone, my God!" She muttered to herself as she picked up the phone and answered the call. "This better be important Bianca"."Oh, it's fucking important alright. I know y'all were keeping your relationship low profile but you both just got outed big time and the reporters are swarming everywhere.""What?!" Sophia sputtered, then looked closely at the people moving around In front of her house and what they were holding were definitely cameras.Sophia frowned, her brains firing in different directions. "Hello, are you still there. Sophia" Bianca s
"Hey! fucking Son of a mother-effing biscuit eater" ... Sophia yelled and swore as a car raced past her, splashing rainwater on her car in the process. "Did you just cuss at me young lady" her mother shocked voice gasped through the receiver making Sophia wince. She'd forgotten that she had answered her mother's call and that they'd been talking before the rude driver's incident. She exhaled, softening her voice to explain."That wasn't meant for you Mom, it was some...".Her mother cut her off. "I don't care what you have to say, Sophia, I didn't raise you to spit such words out of your mouth, if you had a man in your life, you'd have learned to filter your words and tone down that nasty temper of yours..."Sophia couldn't believe it, she hadn't even used any horrible words, yet she was being reprimanded, and how was getting a man in her life even related to her having a filthy mouth. The sound of the rain splattering on the car drowned out Soph
