Chapter 65: Dying
Sofia's POV
After the long night, Marcus stayed here in my house. Just like before, he's the one cooking for us.
I told him that he shouldn't have to do it, but then he insisted. He became much sweeter than before. I don't want him to stay here because he's not used to living a simple life, but whatever I do, he never leaves.
After his work, he will come back here; he decided to stay in my house.
“Are you alright?” He hugged me from behind. I smiled because of what he did. Actually, I like the way he treats me now.
“I'm okay, you're getting late, you have to go,” I turned around to look at his handsome face.
You're as attractive as ever, Marcus. How am I going to forget you? All this time, you are making me feel precious.
“Fine, I'll be back later, okay? Don't forget to eat your lunch. I love you,” he kissed me on my lips, and it was not just a kiss; it was passionate.
“Just go
Chapter 66: Promises Sofia's POV “You can go home and take a rest now if you're not feeling well, Sofia,” Jessica told me while we were arranging the flowers. Marcus has been living with me for almost seven days. Maria went mad at me for letting Marcus enter my life again, but then when I told her everything that happened, she understood. She was shocked, knowing that Marcus had been living with me here for a couple of days now. “These past few days, I’ve observed that you're getting sexier. Have you planned on losing weight? They tell me you're doing workouts; that's why sometimes you look tired and not okay while you are working here in your shop,” Maria asked while she was eating at the table. I sighed. These past few days, I've been trying to look normal like before, but sometimes it's hard for me to do that, especially when I start coughing up blood. “I'm not sure how I could do that. Marcus is living with me now,
Chapter 67:Please fight for me Sofia's POV I woke up when I felt Marcus tapping me on my shoulder. “Wake up, sleepyhead, breakfast is ready,” he gave me a peck of a kiss. When I opened my eyes, his smile was the first thing I saw. He never fails to make me happy every day. How I wish we could be like this forever. I stared at the clock, and he was already late. I stood up, but I didn't expect him to carry me. “Marcus! Let me down,” he said, carrying me in a bridal style while I kept insisting that he let me go. “Nope, I'll carry you through to the kitchen,” he said while laughing at my reaction. I pouted, but then he gave me another peck of a kiss. “Stop doing that, or else I will not stop kissing you until tomorrow,” what he said made me blush. “Stop it, you're getting late,” he just laughed while putting me down on the table. “That's why I need to hurry and eat my breakfast,” he
Chapter 68: Fight Sofia's POV I agreed with Marcus. We decided to fight this struggle. He never left my side, always there when I need him, when I need something, or when I'm uncomfortable. It's been days in the hospital, and with the help of expert doctors, my condition is improving. My phone rang, but I still didn't have the courage to answer. "I think you have to tell her about your condition, Sofia. After all, she's your best friend," Marcus said as he fed me. "I don't know how to tell her," I sighed, knowing she was worried about me. "I'll give you time to talk to her, okay? I'll just buy drinks outside," he said, kissing me before leaving. He didn't wait for my response but left, smiling, encouraging me to talk to Maria. I grabbed the phone and answered the call. "Hello?" "What the hell, Sofia?! I've been calling for days, but you didn't even dare to answer my phone! I have gone to your flo
Chapter 69: Hurt Me Again Sofia's POV I wasn't used to Marcus not being here tonight, but I knew his meeting was important. My phone rang, and I saw Maria was the caller. I answered because I knew she wanted to talk to me. “How are you? Where is Marcus?” She asked while combing her hair. “He can't accompany me now; he has an important meeting to attend,” I told her. She nodded. I feel bad for Marcus; I know he's tired, but he chose to stay here in the hospital with me. If I tell him to rest, he always says that he feels better when he's with me. “Then why didn't you tell me so I could go there?” Of course, she's busy. I didn't want to disturb her. “I'm okay, besides, he will be back tomorrow morning, so no need to worry,” I assured her. She went to her mirror while putting on night cream. “I'll visit you tomorrow; I don't have a meeting to attend,” she said while wearing a jacket. “Make sure you
Chapter 70: I Hope You're Happy Without Me Sofia POV I hurriedly removed everything that was on my body, went outside the room, and hurriedly looked for a taxi. I was catching air when I got inside the car. I'm still not okay. Even though I'm weak, I still manage to call a taxi with my hospital dress. I escaped, I wanted to see him. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I don't care if the driver finds me weird. All I did was cry. My heartbeat kept on rising while we were on our way to the bar. My sight is getting blurry because of my unstable tears. I laughed, remembering those moments when he looked at me with his eyes. He made me believe that he loved me. Did he really love me? I don't know how to face him tonight. I don't know how he would be able to react to me. I love you. I'm dying inside not to hold you like I wanted His words keep on echoing in my head. He made me believe
Chapter 71: Helena Presley Sofia’s POV “Ms. Helena, Madam is looking for you,” one of the maids called my attention while I was watering the plants. “Tell her I’m coming. I’ll finish this one, Jenna,” I smiled at her, and she walked away. I held my long, straight hair and tied it up. It took me a minute to get to the living room because of this big mansion. “You’re looking for me, Mom?” I sat beside her and hugged her, which made her smile broadly. “I am planning to go to an engagement party with you this week,” she held my hand while playing with it. I knew it was hard for her to convince me to join different occasions like that because of my past experience. Five years had passed since Mommy Stella found me unconscious, lying on the ground. Until now, I don’t know what exactly happened that day. I can’t remember anything, not even my name or anyone who is connected to me. She told me tha
Chapter 72: Uncomfortable Sofia’s POV “I’m sorry I can’t go with you tonight,” I held her hand. “Mom, there’s nothing to worry about, okay? Besides, I won’t let you come with me with your condition right now.” I got a glass of water and handed it to her with her medicine. “You have to get ready now, don’t worry. I’ll be okay soon.” I nodded and kissed her before leaving her room. I went to my room and stared at the dress we bought the other day. It is shining and really perfect for night events. It is a backless gold dress with a slit on it. I’ll just pair them with a gold necklace and earrings, I guess? I went to the mirror and stared at the makeup. Staying here for five years, I’ve learned too many different things, not only when it comes to businesses but also doing makeup. I would also like to ask Mommy Stella if I could learn how to cook with our professional chef. I started to put makeup on my face;
Chapter 73: Sofia? Sofia's POV “You're the one they are talking about, the heir of Presley?” His fiancée looked at me. “Yes, actually, my mom cannot attend because she's not feeling well, but she wants to congratulate both of you,” I smiled at them. “Are you okay? You've been looking at me, Mr. Sterling,” I said, catching his attention. “I'm just thinking about someone,” he said and fixed his bowtie. “Excuse us, Ms Presley, we have other guests to entertain,” Natalie said, but while they were talking, I overheard them. “She's not Helena. She's Sofia,” Mr. Sterling said. Sofia? It made me confused. “She's not Sofia, she's dead, Marcus, you better leave her alone,” her voice became mad. I just got a glass of champagne. “Helena!” A lady in her 50s came up to me. “Mrs. Sue! It's been a long time since I've seen you. How are you?” We hugged each other, and I could see how happy she was. “I'm great; wait, where is your mom?” She asked while searching around. “She's not feeling
