Restaurant.

Sophia stood up grinning widely as she picked up her glass of wine and raised it.

"To Sir Lennox, for being the best boss in the world and organizing this awesome dinner. Cheers to Mr. Lennox" she shouted, biting her lips when she noticed him wince as if in pain.

"Cheers," the other yelled, then clicked their glasses together, before drinking.

Sophia sat down hating the fact that she hadn't considered Lennox aversion to loud sounds before making her toast. She glanced at Lennox and noticed that he seemed on edge, it was as if he was uncomfortable and she hated that he was enduring all that for her.

Sophia gasped, her face draining at the direction of her thoughts. What was wrong with her head, she didn't care if Lennox was happy or not, she just needed to get her revenge and that was it, no need to be sympathetic to his plight, he deserved a little payback for what he'd been doing.

Sophia sighed picking at her stake knowing that her little talk wasn't going to stop her fro

    Lennox's heart skidded to a stop, restarted, and pumped blood so viciously, that he thought he was having a heart attack. In a panic, he jerked away and shoved at Sophia-regretting instantly because of the strength he'd put in, as he watched her tumble off the bed and land on the floor with a Yelp.Lennox's head felt foggy as he got to his feet, and put some distance between himself and Sophia, who was struggling to get on her feet, her eyes screaming unbelievable, but the blush spreading over her face also showed that she was dying from embarrassment, but her annoyance won out as she opened her mouth."What the hell, why did you shove me like that. I could have broken my backbone and then what" she said, her chest heaving and drawing his attention.The image of Melissa flashed in his head, her accusing gaze and he snapped out of whatever it was that Sophia was making him feel. Even if It was all a game to her, he didn't want to encourage her. He knew his darkness, and it only destroy

    Something was terribly wrong with Lennox, Sophia concluded after her hundredth attempt to get him to speak up met with a dark hard wall. He wasn't even looking at her and Sophia wondered if he had been so repulsed by her kiss that he was now shutting her out.Sophia stared at Lennox's office, her heart squeezing. Stupid, stupid emotions. Sophia had berated herself all through the day about the impulsive kiss, and she thought she was finally over it but nothing prepared her for the cold brush-off she was getting from Lennox. Was he going to fire her, did he hate her or was he going to file charges against her for sexual harassment? It had been just an itty-bitty kiss, which hadn't even deepened or lasted because he'd shoved her off her bed like a demon-possessed freak.The more Sophia thought about it, the more annoying the whole thing became. Why the hell was he ignoring her. She hadn't even been fully awake and then he was just there, looking like a temptation so her brain must have

    The beat thrumming through the air felt liberating as Sophia lost herself in its rhythm. She swung her arms in the air, the alcohol in the solo cup she held spilling at every thrust of her arm.Lennox. Lennox. Lennox. The name never left her head even though she'd tried to drown him out with alcohol as soon as she'd arrived, when that didn't work, she switched to dancing him out of her system.Someone grabbed her arm, halting her moves. Sophia turned to see Ivan smiling at her."I've been looking for you all night. I thought you didn't come".Sophia grinned, the smile not quite soothing the ache in her chest. "I wouldn't have missed this for the world. Your party was just what I needed to unwind"."I'm glad that you're having fun," he said, then hesitated, glancing around at the others who seemed a little lost in their world. He leaned closer, making alarm bells shoot off like crazy in Sophia alcohol fuddled brain. "Hey, I have a surprise for you, will you come with me for a moment.

    Sophia winced as she tried to open her eyes. The sun streaking through the room made it all the more difficult, her hands automatically reached out, searching for the warmth she'd seemed to feel all night. The cold space beside her had her sitting up, her eyes becoming clearer. Sophia took in the surrounding, her face scrunching up when her brain finally worked right and she knew she was in her room. Everything felt odd, she couldn't remember what happened after the kiss. Sophia trailed a finger over her lips, as she remembered the kiss, the desperation, the passion, the greediness of it and she felt her cheeks hitting up.The door opened, startling her so much that she half jumped out of the bed, her heart clenching in panic.Bianca smiled, even as Sophia glared at her."You just gave me a mini heart attack" she grumbled, her nose wrinkling as the aroma of something delicious wafted to it."Should have had a real heart attack, cause that's what I experienced when Lennox called me in

    Sana stepped into Oliver's office and felt a rush of adrenaline as he sat straighter and put his phone away. Sana was surprised to learn that little detail about herself. She loved being in control of all Oliver's actions, she wanted him to need her, hence why she'd been researching how to take better care of him as a mistress.It was funny, she'd always taken care of him and had done almost everything for him in the past, yet she hadn't connected the dot.Oliver was only reckless because he was looking for something he didn't know he needed, and neither did she.Sana sighed. She missed her friends and she knew she'd have been able to discuss whatever her issue was with them, especially Bianca. Sana felt if anyone was dominant in the three of them, she wouldn't be surprised if it was Bianca, because she seemed always in control.Sana had also been seeing Bianca and Sophia together, so she knew they were friends again. It felt like a betrayal, but she couldn't fault them because Bianca

    *****Lennox watched Sophia feeling like the biggest jerk on the face of the earth as pain flashed through her eyes for just a second and then she looked all calm and serene, she even added a little confusion in the mix and if he didn't know better, he'd have thought he imagined the hurt he had seen on her face."What kiss? Oh, that one. I was drunk last night so it took me a while to remember. You don't have to worry about that because it doesn't mean anything to me either. You're my boss and people make mistakes when they're drunk, so let's just forget about it. I want a working relationship with you too" she said with a smile but he could see her lips quivering. Lennox clenched his hands by his side because reaching out to touch her seemed to be an inexplicable urge that he couldn't seem to control.Lennox couldn't remember the last time he'd had to struggle so much to get back his self-control because every time he saw Sophia, all his resolution seemed to weaken, and he wanted not

    Sophia sat staring at her schedule pad in the board room as the manager of each department took their turn to present the progress they had made so far and how their technique had affected their sales but she couldn't listen and she didn't want to look at Lennox either, or at Sana or Andria who looked like she'd lost a lot of pound in just a few weeks of the competition. Sophia didn't want to pity her and it got easier since she was seething internally at Lennox.How dare he tell her to her face that the kiss had been a mistake, and that he only wanted a working relationship. Why kiss her at all in the first place if he was going to call it a mistake later on. Sophia hated him, yeah, the thin line between love and hate was suddenly very real to her, especially not after she witnessed the pretty model hanging on his arm like she belonged there, and he'd also allowed her to kiss him but he had pushed her off when she'd tried to. Sophia glanced in his direction and his gaze connected w

    Andria opened her eyes, surprised to see that she wasn't alone in the room and that her three friends were sitting around her. Sophia was sitting beside her bed, asleep, and holding her hand, Sana was busy reading something on her phone, her face scrunched up in concentration, while Bianca was typing on her laptop, her brows furrowed in concentration.Andria moved her hand, and Sophia jumped, her eyes flying open and she looked around disoriented until her gaze focused on Andria. Sophia looked alert. "Are you alright. The doctor said you haven't been eating right, and that you've been working yourself too hard, why did you do that huh, why didn't you say anything to any of us".Bianca and Sana scrambled to her side."She's just waking up, can you let her breath for a second" Sana reprimanded and Sophia pouted, pulling back to give her more room.Andria's eyes reddened as her gaze darted around the three faces staring at her in worry. She felt that she didn't deserve their concern not

    *****Lennox smiled as he got the door for Sophia who rolled her eyes at him."Careful" he added, once she stepped out of the car and Sophia groaned, her lips forming a pretty pout."Gosh, people would think I got slashed on my leg and not my wrist" she complained and Lennox pulled her closer."I'm going to spoil and pamper you whether you like it or not. 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.
