Sophia pov:I was tossing and turning in my bed. For getting up early morning, I skipped my sleeping pill but now this light throbbing pain in my jaw was not letting me sleep.“Sophie?” I saw Rowan leaning against the door frame wearing boxers.Only in boxers.“Yes, Rowan?” I sat up and started pulling my hair in a bun, “how can I help you?” I asked like a professional receptionist making him chuckle.“I wish you could help me…” I heard him muttering and my hands paused in my hair.“What did you say?”“Nothing. Why are you not asleep yet?” he came inside and instead of walking to the edge of the bed, he went to the other side and fell on his face beside me.“Nothing. There is this slight pain here,” the moment the words were out of my mouth, he was at once sitting up with a frown.“Show me,” he came closer walking on his knees. I quickly fixed the neckline of my sleeping dress and pulled the quilt to my neck. Also, I tried my best to ignore those powerful thighs …Hell!“Did you take
Sophia’s pov:Most of the stuff I had packed for the beach belonged to Maria. Rowan insisted that we could go shopping after reaching our destination, but I didn’t agree.I was already a freeloader in his family hotel. Eating his food, wearing his sister’s clothes, getting his time, and last night I even used his chest to place my head.Urgh. Don’t think about it, Sophie. Stop thinking about his chest. He is younger. Remember? He is younger than you.“Sophie,” I was stuffing Maria’s clothes in the bag when I heard him behind me. He was wearing a formal white shirt with black office pants.“Are you sure we are going to the beach, Rowan?” I tried teasing him.“Yes. Let me remind you we will be shooting a documentary too,” he said busily and started wearing his shoes.“Did you take your medicine, princess?” he asked me while wearing the wristwatch.“Yes, Rowan.”“Have you kept extra medicine for our stay?”“Yes, Rowan.” I again responded mechanically.This time he chuckled and kissed my
Sophia povKim didn’t look happy with the setting, but Rowan didn’t seem to give a damn about it. He held my hand in the backseat, and I could feel the smile tugging on the corner of his lips even when he was looking out of the window.I didn’t know if I was ready for the next relationship, but I wanted to get rid of Colter. No more abuse.And I wanted to be friends again with Rowan. Or maybe something more. He had been offering me to call him for help even when I hadn’t started experiencing abuse at the hands of Colter.It would be unfair to Rowan, to let him think that I am doing it because of him. Which was half true. Yes. But what about the other half?His emotions which could never budge me since childhood had started affecting me in ways. Maybe I was getting the love and care from him that I had been craving from Colter.I looked up when I felt him squeezing my hand. Ryan was chatting endlessly. It was Kim who had gone suddenly quiet.She did turn her head once or twice and foun
Sophia pov Rowan frowned looking at me when he heard knocking on my room door. “Yes!” sitting on the bed, I leaned back a little responding to the knock. I raised my head again so that Rowan could keep applying ointment on my face. In my peripheral vision, I saw Kim and Mia coming inside, a little taken aback by Rowan’s presence in my room. “We wanted to take you for some girly time,” I heard Mia, “Some booze, music and dance and …” She winked but didn’t finish it, but I was aware she wanted to say ‘boys’, “So, Sophie? Are you up to it?” Kim asked me but her eyes were following Rowan. Rowan was blowing on my face softly after every dab of the cotton bud. “Why not!” I said excitedly. It had been a long time since I went out solely for myself. Both the girls seemed impressed when they found their gorgeous friend taking care of me. Even Kim could not bring much bitterness into her voice. “Don’t you think tonight you should take a sleeping pill and go to bed? You already skipped i
Sophia’s povHis lips were just above mine. His one hand was stroking upwards dangerously on my thigh skin just near my panty line.Looking at his face, I managed a small smile and licked my lower lip to wet it. His eyes followed the small action, and he gulped down hard.“Ar… are you sure, Sophie?” his voice was a hoarse whisper.“Very much,” I said excitedly. His green eyes were roaming on my face with so much hunger.“You don’t need to worry about it, Rowan. I know what I am getting into. Plus, I am also an adult now. Not that stubborn teenager!”The closeness of his lips was making me feel the intensity of his desire in the air. His touch sent shivers down my spine as his hand moved slowly and dangerously upwards. I could sense the hesitation in his actions, the unspoken question hanging in the air.But when his hand finally made its way under my dress, his eyes widened in surprise. I had made a deliberate choice of not wearing my panty, and his discovery only heightened the inten
Sophia pov:“You look happy, Sophia,” Mia told me in a low whisper, and I could not help it when I felt my cheeks turning crimson.We all were in the dining hall of the hotel for our breakfast, “I am just happy. It’s after so many days that I got the chance to go out overnight with such great company.” I shrugged with an over-brightened smile and tried to act nonchalant. I needed to convince her that the happiness wasn’t because of Rowan.Which was a lie for sure.I couldn’t tell her, what Rowan and I did last night.As I glanced around the room, I noticed Rowan and Kim wandering near the buffet table. Their closeness did make me slightly uncomfortable, especially when Rowan was throwing those meaningful glances my way. I focused on the lemon tart on my plate, pretending not to notice.Just then, a plate of mushroom omelet magically appeared before me. Startled, I looked up to find Rowan standing there, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He took a seat opposite me because Mia was alread
Sophia pov:Without another word, he started rubbing my back with soapy hands. Placing my palms on the bathroom walls, I closed my eyes feeling his touch on my body and then my hair with a whiff of my shampoo. He opened the shower and started washing the sand off my hair. I held my breath when I felt his hands unusually lingering on my bre*asts.“May I?” I asked him, offering him the same comfort. He slowly shook his head and wrapped a bathrobe around me.“I can’t risk that, Sophie.” He draped a towel around my hair like a turban. He was still wearing his costume while I was there without a piece of clothing, “I can take my shower later.”True to his word, he didn’t even bat an eye on my nak*edness.“I promise, I would be decent enough not to sed*uce you,” I said mischievously making him chuckle.“And do you think that would make me happy, princess?” he placed his palms on either side of me on the walls of the bathroom behind me,His eyes were searching mine with a mixture of seriousn
Emerald Wyatt pov: (Sophia’s foster mom)“Emerald. Stop crying.” Abigail Levisay hugged me tightly, “Hunter has called Rowan and he will be here any minute. We will find Sophie. Don’t lose hope.”Tears were streaming down my face. I was sitting on the armchair, clutching a tissue in my trembling hands. Abigail Levisay … my compassionate friend and Rowan’s mom was kneeling beside me, offering comfort.I was sobbing uncontrollably, struggling to compose myself.“I can't help it, Abigail. I'm so scared for Sophie. It's been two days, and we still have no idea where she could be. And now with Colter found dead ... What if something terrible has happened to my daughter too?”Abigail wrapped her arms around me, holding me tightly.She shushed me gently, “I know, darling. It's an incredibly distressing situation, but we have to stay strong. We can't lose hope. Hunter has called Rowan, and he's on his way here. Rowan has connections. Along with Hunter, he can locate Sophie. We're going to fin

Sophia’s pov: Colter was smart, intelligent, and the school’s soccer team captain. For every girl, he was an ideal. But he chose me as his girlfriend. We were good initially but then he started showing his true colors. “Your cousin is a creep, Sophie. He keeps staring at you. The little boy can’t control his urges,” he used to make fun of Rowan and I never liked it. “He is NOT my cousin, Colt.” I used to defend Rowan and that used to annoy him even more. “Yeah. Whatever. He is younger, Sophie. Just a kid! Don’t ever forget that. Trust me! Nobody wants to date a baby.” His remark tugged my heartstrings that day. Every other day he used to get aggressive and used to remind me that Rowan was just a mere kid. Most of the time his aggression used to be due to Rowan. He disliked it when Rowan used to sit right opposite our place in the cafeteria. He easily could get offended if he would find Rowan, visiting my place. I tried convincing him that Rowan was a family friend but failed.
Rowan’s pov:The girl in my arms was sleeping soundly. She was making me feel like my arms were the best place where she could get that deep sleep. She was making me feel like I was a safe haven for her.That fuc*ker Colter tried to take away her spirit. Her soul. But she did it. She defeated him. The day she called me for help, I knew how much courage she must have gathered to do it. To type that single message. That single word.“Rowan!” she murmured in her sleep and stirred in my arms.“Go to sleep, Sophie. You are safe.” I said and closed my eyes but the she-devil close to me, kept rubbing herself against me intimately.“Soph!” I whispered and she made a pout in her sleep and opened her sleep-filled hooded eyes to look at me, “Go to sleep, love.”I tried to control my desire shooting up by her touch. She shook her head and started rubbing her cheek against my chest skin.“You smell amazing, Rowan.” She started kissing my chest and then climbed up to bring her face close to mine, “
Rowan Levisay pov I looked down at the delicate girl in my arms who, very slowly, was now getting closer to me. She already lived in my heart and had, at last, started seeing me. The only difference was, she spotted me after twenty-five goddamn years. And I noticed her when I was just two. She used to sit cozily in bed with my sisters. I could hear their giggling sounds in my cot and always wanted to get down so that I could join the fun. Sometimes, Mom used to allow me to go to them. They used to cuddle me in between and all I wanted at that time was to sit beside my girl. She used to get irritated by my presence, and how I used to cling to her, stare at her. “Mom! I think she doesn’t like me.” While growing up, the four years old me, asked my mom. She smiled and made me sit on her lap. “She might see you if you stop clinging to her. Nobody likes that, Rowan. Everyone loves to have some space, son.” In my teenage years, I could never make a steady girlfriend. Because they all u
Sophia’s pov. Restless, I continued to toss and turn in my bed, the weight of my past worries pressing heavily upon my chest. The hushed murmurs drifting up from downstairs did confirm what I already knew. My parents were still awake and their concern for me was refusing to let them succumb to sleep. Normally, my parents were early sleepers, but tonight was different. Tonight, their parental instincts were on high alert, their worry for me was palpable in the air. Ever since I could remember, they were protective of me and had shielded me from harm, nurtured me with unwavering love and care. As my adoptive parents, they made me and Jackson their utmost priority. They never let us feel that I was adopted and that Jackson was their own blood. As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but reflect on the countless times they had been my pillars of strength. They had been my unwavering support, always there to lend a hand or offer to just listen to me. To make me feel heard. And now,
Emerald's pov: The weight of her words settled upon us like a heavy burden, each of us grappling with our own emotions. But at that moment, amidst the chaos of thoughts and feelings, one thing was clear — Sophie had endured some kind of ordeal. Something that was beyond our thoughts, and we had to listen, support, and help her find solace in our embrace. “Talk to us, love.” Rafael encouraged her to speak, “What is it? What did Colt do to you?” his voice seemed tense. “If I will tell you then would you believe me?” She asked Rafael innocently. Like a baby. Gosh! I wanted to cry. I could not wait to be alone and cry in my husband’s arms. But right now, we both needed to stay strong. “Yes, we will.” Abigail spoke with determination, “You are our kid. Why won’t we trust you?” The moment Abigail said that Sophia started crying. Her tears started slipping down her smooth cheeks. “Sophie?” Rafael and I both called her name. We both were shocked. “Mom! Dad! The one month I was with him
Emerald's pov:Sophia was trembling while taking hesitant steps forward. She looked exhausted as if she had been through an ordeal that no words could adequately describe. The room remained silent, each of us holding our breath, waiting for her to speak.I saw Hunter gesturing for his investigators to leave the room without a sound.Finally, Sophia’s voice broke the silence, which was weak yet determined. "I... I'm sorry. I never meant to cause you all this worry. It's... it's complicated. I'll explain, I promise."Rafael and I exchanged glances, a mix of relief and concern etched on our faces. We moved closer to Sophia, enveloping her in a gentle embrace, offering comfort and reassurance. The room slowly came alive with a mixture of relief, confusion, and a silent desire for answers.Hunter, his voice laced with a mix of relief and urgency, stepped forward. "Sophie, we've been searching for you. Where have you been? Are you alright?"Sophia took a deep breath, her eyes darting around
