Violet was coming out from the shopping mall with her assigned bodyguard, and they were about to enter the car when Diana and her mother rushed to her, and she was surprised to see them."What are you two doing here?" she asked unfriendly, her face turned cold."We are here to ask for your forgiveness," Diana said, her voice soft and pleading."Please, Violet, come with us, we are sorry for what we did to you," Grandma said, her eyes filled with tears. "You are sorry?" she scoffed. "Firstly, my name is not Violet anymore, my name is Sofia. You two are no longer my family. I have no family. Shawn is the only family I have now. So, if you know what's good for you, stay away from me, hug" she yelled, her voice firm and authoritative. "Please! Just give us another chance. That man is a dangerous man," she said. "Let him! It's better being with a dangerous man than living with you two," she retorted.Grandma's face turned sorrowful, her eyes filled with tears. "We are sorry!" she excl
Three days later, Sofia regained consciousness and was murmuring Shawn's name. "Shawn," she muttered, her voice weak and her eyes fluttering open. She looked around, confused, and saw a stranger in a doctor's uniform beside her. He smiled faintly, relief written on his face."You are awake," he said, his voice soft and gentle.Sofia turned to him, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to remember where she was. "Where am I?" she asked weakly, her voice laced with confusion.The doctor's smile widened. "You are in the hospital," he said, and started to examine her body. Then he helped her sit upright on the bed, and Sofia felt a headache coming on. She noticed a white bandage wrapped around her head and her eyes widened in alarm."What happened?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly.The doctor's expression turned serious. "You were knocked down by a car three days ago. Thank heavens you are awake. The driver hasn't been herself since the incident. She has been praying for you
Shawn sat down on his bed, resting his back against the bed, while Sofia was changing the bandage used to wrap his wounded stomach."I can't believe you did all that, you could have waited to heal first before going to his house," Sofia scolded."Are you now taking sides with him?" Shawn asked."No, I am just worried about you, your wound hasn't healed yet," Sofia said.Shawn smiled. "You should worry about yourself too, does your head still hurt?""No, it's just a minor injury, unlike yours," Sofia said and was done wrapping up the wound. "It's done, is there anything else?" She asked."No, all I want now is for you to cuddle me to sleep," he said.Sofia gulped nervously. "Now?""Yes, you forgot you signed up for the paper?" Shawn said.Sofia sighed. "Fine."She rolled her eyes, and Shawn scoffed. He lay down properly on the bed, resting his head on her lap. Sofia gulped nervously."Why are you gulping so hard? Are you nervous?" Shawn teased."Nothing, just sleep already, so I can

After dinner, Shawn drove Rachel home.As they parked Infront her house, Rachel's face lit up with a warm smile. "Thank you, I had so much fun today."Shawn's expression was calm, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners. "I had fun too."Her eyes sparkled with hope. "Do you think we can do this more often?" Shawn hesitated, his brow furrowing slightly. But then his face broke into a gentle smile. "It's okay if—""I will," he cut her off, taking her hands tenderly in his. "I will like to do this again more often, let's give each other another chance."Her face lit up with joy, her eyes shining with excitement. "Yes, I will," she said, pulling him into a tight hug and he chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Hope I am not dreaming right now," Rachel said, pulling away from him. "No, you are not, you are wide awake." He te
The next morning, they sat at the dining table, eating breakfast. Sofia avoided eye contact with Shawn, her eyes cast downward. Rachel frowned, sensing the tension between them.Rachel picked up an egg with her fork and pointed it towards Shawn. "Come on, babe, open up," she said, smiling.Shawn hesitated, then opened his mouth. Rachel shoved the egg into his mouth, and Shawn chewed, his eyes fixed on Sofia."You look cute with your mouth moving gently," Rachel teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.Sofia's face turned pink, and she stood up abruptly. "Um, excuse me," she said, grabbing her phone and rushing upstairs to her room."Where are you going? You haven't finished your food," Shawn said, looking concerned"I am full already," She replied, not looking back.Shawn stared after her, his eyes still fixed on the stairs. Rachel placed a hand on his arm. "Come on, don't worry about her," she said, smiling reassuringly.Shawn sighed, his eyes still fixed on the stairs.Later tha
Shawn's face turned red with anger as he glared at Sly. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.Sly smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Relax, I am not here to make trouble, rather to give you this," he said, ordering his men to hand over the documents.One of Sly's men stepped forward, handing the documents to Shawn. Shawn's eyes narrowed as he took the documents, his expression skeptical. "What's this?" he asked, his voice dripping with disdain.Sly chuckled. "Why not see for yourself?" he said, his eyes sparkling with malice.Shawn hesitated, his eyes scanning the documents. His expression changed from skepticism to shock, and he snapped. "What's the meaning of this rubbish?" he yelled, his face reddening with anger.Sly smirked, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Exactly what you see. There is nothing you can do about it. I am here to take what's rightfully mine, as you can see, I came with the lawsuit agent, so there is nothing you can do," he
Sly and his men arrived home, dragging Sofia out of the car. She was weak from crying, her eyes sunken and her face pale. As they entered the living room, they pushed her to the ground, and she groaned in pain.Sly rolled his wheelchair closer to her, a smirk spreading across his face. "You think you were finally free from me? Even your hero couldn't save you," he laughed in mockery.Sofia's eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Sly, her expression fearful.Sly's smirk grew wider. "You can never run away from me. You are mine now, and I will make you suffer for everything you have put me through," he said, his voice dripping with malice. She flinched, her eyes widening in fear. "You have a lot of sins to pay for... but don't worry, I don't find you attractive anymore. I got someone new. Your punishment here is to serve as a slave, that's what you are to me. You are not only paying for your family's sins, but you will also be working for me for the rest of your miserable life!"
Shawn was doing everything possible to get Sofia free from Sly. He contacted some of the highest authorities, and they all gave him a positive answer, saying they would get back to him. He fell loose on his office chair, relieved a little.He also assigned his men to get more information about what happened, and they all got busy. "Hang in there, Sofia, just a little longer, and I will get you out of there," he said, determination etched on his face.Meanwhile, Sofia came to school, escorted by Sly's men. Everyone was staring at her, and Mabel saw her and tried to approach her. But she was stopped by Sly's men. Sofia stared sadly at Mabel, and she suddenly understood that all wasn't well with her.During lunch break, Sofia went to the restroom, and the men secured the area. She stared at herself in the mirror, sobbing as she brought out a sharp blade from her bag. "Maybe ending my life will stop all this misery around me. I can't take this anymore," she sobbed. "Will you ever com

Nina's eyes sparkled with amusement, and Mabel's face lit up with a warm smile.They were engrossed in sweet and teasing conversation, their laughter filling the air. Their assigned bodyguards stood a little far from them, watching the surrounding area with alert expressions."Yeah, I remember that...." Sofia paused, her eyes widening in discomfort, as she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Nina and Mabel stared at her, their faces reflecting concern."Are you ok?" Nina asked, her voice laced with worry.Sofia's face scrunched up in pain. "I don't think so, I just...." She got interrupted as Nina noticed her water broke."Your water broke, Sofia!" Nina exclaimed.

Troy noticed that she wasn't eating"Is everything okay?" he asked. "Yes."she forced a smile, her eyes avoiding Troy's. She stood up to leave, her movements abrupt. "I will just go get ready for school.""You didn't even touch your food." His face showed concern. "You don't like it? I will prepare whatever thing you want to eat right now."
