Nina's flashback ended, and she kept smiling to herself. "I told you it might be a misunderstanding," Mabel said. "Yeah, you were right. I'm happy my baby and I are back together."She nodded, still smiling.They chuckled and turned to Sofia, who was lost in thought.Sofia's mind was occupied with the intense moment she had with Shawn in the kitchen the other day, and she couldn't get her mind off it."Sofia!" Nina called, tapping her shoulder, and Sofia jerked back to reality."Are you okay?" Mabel asked. "Yes, I'm fine."She forced a smile.Nina's eyes narrowed. "You don't look like it. Did you and your boyfriend get back together?" Sofia sighed. "You didn't?" Mabel asked. "It's kinda complicated right now. I just don't know what to do anymore." "Did you two try to talk it out?"Mabel asked. "Yeah, he apologized for what he did."Nina's face lit up. "Really?". " This is good. So, this means you two are back together?" Mabel asked. "Not really. I'm just going to pay h
An hour later, Shawn came to the bedroom to see Sofia fast asleep. He smiled warmly, his eyes filled with amusement. "What a stubborn lady." He moved to her on the bed and untied her hands, making her sleep comfortably on the bed. He then covered her with the blanket before kissing her forehead.He came out of the room, and his eyes caught sight of Troy entering the house. Troy's face turned cheerful as he smiled."Hey, bro," Troy said. "I thought you weren't coming home tonight."His face turned nonchalant. "Why not? I just hung out with a friend of mine who came back from the state." "I thought you went to see Mabel." "Nah, but I am hanging out with her tomorrow."His face turned smug. He smiled, and then Shawn felt a hand wrapped around him from behind. A smirk curved Troy's lips.Shawn's face turned surprised, and he turned to see Sofia holding him while still sleeping. Her face was peaceful, her eyes closed."Sofia," Shawn said softly, caressing her face.She murmured, her
Shawn was getting ready to leave his office to go pick Sofia from school. Just as he was tidying up his office, someone entered the office and interrupted him."Hello, Shawn," a female voice said.Shawn's face turned curious, and he raised his face up to see who it was. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw a young, elegant woman in her early twenties, dressed in a red fitted short gown below her knees, black pencil heels that matched her bag, along with expensive jewelry around her neck and wrist. Her red lipstick was hypnotizing, and her fragrance filled the room. "Cindy?" he called, surprised, standing up.Cindy smirked, her gaze fixed on Shawn's surprised look. "Long time no see, husband," she said. Shawn's face turned pale, and he gulped.****Meanwhile, back at school, Sofia was waiting for Shawn, who had promised to pick her up from school. Mabel was standing beside her, chatting with Troy on the phone.Mabel's face turned excited. "Troy said he is coming to pick me up." S
Troy drove home and entered the living room. His eyes caught sight of an unfamiliar lady in the dining room eating fruit salad, and their eyes met.Cindy's face turned curious. "Who are you?"Troy's face turned surprised, and he raised an eyebrow. "I should be asking you that. Who are you?" "I am Cindy, Shawn's wife, and you?" She said proudly.Troy was shocked, and his eyes widened. "Excuse me!" he exclaimed. He started calling Shawn. "Shawn! Shawn!" he called loudly."Stop yelling, he is not home." She scoffed. "How did you find your way into this house?"He asked confusedly. "This is my house, and besides, Shawn knows I am here. We were together some hours ago before he left to God knows where." She continued eating, and Troy stared at her, confused.Meanwhile, Shawn and Sofia were heading back home. They were seated in the backseat, holding hands. Sofia noticed the sad look on his face. "Are you still worried about it?"She asked feeling concerned. Shawn's face turned troubled
Days later, Shawn was getting pissed off by Cindy's constant demands, and it was unbearable. "Can you please just stop! Stop making these out of proportion. I know I made a promise to Dad, but that was before and not now. I have someone who I am truly in love with, and I won't let you ruin it for me." He said sounding serious.Cindy's face turned determined. "I don't care, Shawn. I am here, and I will never let my Dad's promise die off. For goodness' sake, that was his last wish! I rejected so many guys because of you. You might not be legally married, but we are married by oath.""I didn't take any oath with you, and I didn't ask you to reject other men.... You are too late, you are damn too late. I never saw you as someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. All I see in you is a sister I never had." "I am not your sister!" she yelled. "I was betrothed to you, I know I came late, but it can still be fixed... Remember, you are who you are today, thanks to my Dad." she sai
Sofia squeezed herself onto the bed, sobbing quietly. Her eyes were reddened and swollen due to tears. She couldn't control her heart beating fast, and soon sleep crept in.Shawn stormed out of the room, angrily. He was placed on a tight corner, and there was nothing he could do. Either way, he was going to be forced to accept Cindy's demand. She was more dangerous than he could imagine, and she always got what she wanted.He left to Sofia's room and tapped gently on the door, but there was no response. He opened the door and entered to see her fast asleep.He moved to join her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Then he noticed her body jerking due to her crying as he cuddled her.He turned her body to his and saw tears on her face. He wondered why she cried and wrapped his arms around her. Then sleep came in, and he slept off.***The next morning, Sofia opened her eyes weakly to see herself wrapped in Shawn's arms, she smiled and caressed his face. "I don't want to
A week later, everything was going smoothly, no word from Cindy and her cell phone remained unavailable. Sofia and the ladies came to a cafe to chill, they sat down having fun while sipping from their milkshakes. "So, Sofia, I am curious, how is it going between you and Shawn?"Nina asked. "Going well, everything is fine now since Cindy left."Mabel's face turned annoyed. "Finally, I was hoping she disappeared forever and never comes back, she is such a pain in the neck." "Yeah, I wish she never comes again, maybe she realised Shawn isn't for her and she left to avoid trouble."Sofia said hopefully. "Yeah, maybe she got tired, but one needs to be careful too, she might be planning something huge.".Nina said. They nodded in agreement. "So, Sofia, have you and Shawn done it yet?"Mabel's face turned mischievous. "Done what?"Sofia asked confusedly.Mabel's face turned playful, and she raised her eyebrows. "You know what I mean?" Sofia's face turned embarrassed, and she scoffed, sipp
Some hours later, Shawn arrived at the building alone, the tracker leading him inside where Sofia was. Cindy's face turned smug. "You are here, how fast."Shawn's eyes met Sofia's, and his expression turned worried, seeing the situation she was in. "Shawn," Sofia called, struggling to get loose.Shawn's face twisted in anger. "Cindy!" he yelled, pulling out a gun and aiming it at her, but Cindy laughed."You can't hurt me, Shawn, look around you," she said, and Shawn noticed he was being surrounded by her men, both up and down. Shawn's expression remained determined, his eyes fixed on Cindy."Let her go, Cindy," Shawn said firmly. "I will." She moved closer to him. "You chose this path, Shawn. I am giving it to you."Cindy smirked. "Do you think this is the right thing to do?" "What's wrong with what I am doing? I'm just taking what's mine."Cindy's smile widened."I won't get married to you. I don't love you."Shawn's face turned disgusted. Cindy's expression turned obsessive. "Y
During the weekend, Mabel and Sofia were seated together in the camping bus, ready to go, as the other students were entering one after the other. Mabel's face turned thoughtful."It was so hard to convince Troy to let me go camping," Mabel said, rolling her eyes.Sofia chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Same for Shawn, those two are just something else."They both sighed, their faces mirroring each other's exasperation.Then their cell phones rang, and they looked at them to see it was their men calling. Mabel's face lit up with a smile."Troy!" "Shawn!" They exclaimed together, and sighed tiredly as they answered the call.The bus drove off, heading to the camp.- - - Three days later, Sofia and Mabel returned from their camping trip, beaming with excitement. It was fun, and they learned many things. Their stay in the camp was amazing.Their men never ceased to call them on video calls to know how they were doing and how the camping was going.After the camp
Shawn drove into a new, complete building with Sofia and her family. They came down, wondering why they were there. Sofia's brow furrowed in confusion."Shawn, why are we here?" Sofia asked, her voice laced with curiosity, along with her family.Shawn's expression turned mysterious. "Let's go inside first."They went inside, and Diana's eyes widened in awe. "Wow, this place is beautiful."The whole place was well-furnished with expensive interior design. Sofia's curiosity got the better of her. "Is this your new home?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.Shawn smiled, his eyes shining with excitement, and moved closer to Lucas. He handed over the house keys and some documents. "This is now your new home."The family's eyes widened in shock, their faces frozen in surprise. Grandma's jaw dropped."What?" Grandma grasped, her voice trembling.Shawn's smile broadened. "Yeah, do you like it?" he asked, his eyes scanning their faces.The family was speechless, their faces still
Sofia arrived at the library pretty late, and Mabel stared at her, her brow furrowed. "Why are you so late?" she asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the other people in the library.Her face turned sheepish as she brought out her books from her bag. "Something came up."Mabel stared at her, amused, her eyes sparkling. "You wanna tell me what came up? Your mood yesterday is different now." She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did Shawn make it up to you?" Sofia's face turned defensive, but a hint of a smile played on her lips. "I knew it! Girl, you are on fire." "Can we just read now? I don't have much time. Shawn set up a time for me, and if I don't meet up, it's gonna be another of his punishments." "Aw, that's kinda cute." She said, amused.The two friends started reading, their faces filled with concentration. Back home, Shawn was relaxing at the poolside, his face relaxed, and was on the phone. "Is everything ready?" he asked, his voice firm.Troy and Jef
Shawn drove home with Sofia, his expression stern and unyielding. He carried her out of the car on his shoulder, heading to their bedroom."Can you just let me explain, it wasn't intentional," She said, her eyes pleading and apologetic as she tried to explain. However, he ignored her, his face unchanging.They entered the room, and he lay her down gently on the bed. He climbed on top of her, undid his necktie, and used it to tie Sofia's hands to the bed. His smirk was evident, his eyes gleaming with amusement."Now, it's your punishment," he said, his voice low and husky.She gulped hard, her eyes wide with anticipation and a hint of fear. "Am sorry, I won't do it again."Shawn's grin turned sly, his eyes locked onto hers. "Too late."He started kissing her neck and caressing her body. She let out a soft moan, her eyes fluttering closed as her body shivered from his touch. Her face was etched with desire, her lips parted.She anticipated being kissed on the lips, but Shawn just want
Days later, the ladies gathered at their favorite cafe, sipping their drinks and savoring their snacks. Sofia's eyes sparkled as she drank her milkshake. "Hmm, I miss this." "It's a good thing Shawn finally let you go of his hands."Mabel's grin turned teasing. "Hmm, that's nice. How was it with you and Shawn for the past few days?"Nina's eyes twinkled with curiosity."Wonderful, I will say." Sofia's cheeks flushed, and she smiled softly. Nina's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Aw! With the glint in your eyes, I'm sure you guys have already done it."Mabel's eyes narrowed, and Sofia's blush deepened. "They did," She said, and they all laughed. "Wow! That's cute! You're finally a full woman." Nina said happily and Sofia's smile turned radiant. "So, how was it?" Nina asked. "Perfect."Sofia's eyes sparkled.The ladies laughed, and Mabel's eyes turned playful. "Aww! Now you're making me crave mine." "You and Troy did it together?"Sofia asked curiously. "Yes, the night of your bir
Everyone was having their breakfast, except for Shawn and Sofia, who were still locked in their room. Troy's expression was curious as he asked, "Is Shawn and Sofia not coming down for breakfast?"Mabel smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with understanding. "Let them be, they have been away for so long, so let them have their moment."Just then, Shawn appeared at the bottom of the staircase, a cheerful grin spreading across his face. "I thought I heard my name."Troy chuckled, his eyes teasing. "Finally, you are out."Shawn greeted everyone warmly, his expression radiant. "Good morning everyone." "How was your night, dear?"Lucas smiled, his eyes twinkling with curiosity.Shawn's grin turned sly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Never been better." "Hmm, I see."

Shawn and Sofia burst into the bedroom, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. They couldn't wait for the party to end, and now they were finally alone.Everyone else had left, exhausted from the celebrations. Jeff had met up with the party, and it had been a day to remember. Nina and Jeff had left for their home, while Mabel and Troy sat down in the living room, enjoying each other's company.But Shawn and Sofia were lost in their own little world. They were consumed by their love for each other, and nothing else mattered. His hands caressed Sofia's body, his fingers tracing the curves of her waist, her hips, her breasts. He kissed every part of her body, his lips leaving a trail of fire wherever he touched."I missed you so much," he whispered between kisses. Her eyes fluttered closed, her body arching into his touch. "I missed you more," she moaned. "Don't ever try to leave me again."His eyes burned with intensity. "I won't," he promised, lifting her onto the bed.They contin
Two years had passed, and life had returned to normal. Everyone was living their lives as usual, still holding onto the hope that Shawn would return, especially Sofia. Despite going out with friends and focusing on her studies, her heart still longed for Shawn's return. She believed that he would come back for her someday.Her eyes sparkled with determination as she delved into her academic pursuits, ensuring that when Shawn returned, he would be proud of her accomplishments.It was her twentieth birthday, and everyone was secretly planning a surprise party for her. Sofia had explicitly stated that she didn't want a birthday celebration, but Troy had persuaded the others to throw her a surprise party anyway.Mabel and Nina were in on the secret, and they devised a plan to take her out of the house. They convinced her to join them for a shopping trip to the mall, and Sofia, oblivious to the surprise awaiting her, agreed to go along.As they left the house, the others sprang into acti
It's been weeks since Shawn left with Cindy, and Sofia hadn't been herself. She barely ate or talked to anyone, locking herself in Shawn's room and refusing to go to school or see anyone. All she did was cry every day, yearning for Shawn's return.Before Shawn left with Cindy, he asked Troy to take Sofia and her family to his mansion to live there. Troy did as he was instructed.Everyone tried to bring Sofia out of her sadness, but all was in vain. Nina and Mabel came to the house to see her, moving to her doorstep and knocking, along with her mother, Grandma, and Troy."Sofia, can you open up? Your friends are here to see you," Troy said, but there was no response."Sofia, dear, please open up, please!" Diana said, and they sighed tiredly after making an attempt for her to open up."What do we do now?" Mabel said sadly."I'm scared she'll hurt herself," Grandma said."Me too," Diana said.They sighed tiredly and moved to the living room, thinking of what to do next."When will Sha
