Chapter 78: Truth or Dare Sofia's POV After that night of swimming, the group decided to have a camping trip at the beach. We had fun last night, and we already knew each other here. I’m trying to wake Alex, but he’s still asleep. I even slapped him three times, but he didn't want to wake up. “Alex! Come on, wake up! I told you last night that you shouldn't drink too much!” I messed up my hair. Georgia’s boyfriend and Hector helped me last night carrying Alex because he fell asleep due to being too drunk. “I'm still asleep, Helena. Get off me!” He’s trying to push me because I'm sitting on his back. “No! Wake up! I'm hungry!” I shouted at him, which made him mess up his hair. “Damn! Okay, fine, get off!” He sounded irritated. “Do you remember what you did to me last night?” His forehead is knotted. “What?! What did I do?!” He became hysterical and covered his body. “What the hell are you doing?!” I threw him the pillow. “What happened last night?” He became serious, which m
Chapter 79: Is he mad Sofia's POV It was already six in the morning, and we decided to go back to the hotel. I didn't see Marcus leave his tent; it was only Natalie. Is he mad? He just walked away last night without answering my question. “I'll take a shower first,” I grabbed all my stuff and didn't wait for Alex to answer because he was still sleepy. When I'm done taking a shower, I just wear a yellow dress. Mom bought this for me last year, and I haven't worn it. It's kinda cute, and this colour really made my skin glow. I went out, and I saw Alex still sleeping. I started to blow-dry my hair and tied it after I was done. I only put light makeup on my face. I wanted to wake up Alex, but I decided to let him sleep. It was already late when we decided to sleep last night. But then, before I could go out of our room, he sat on the bed. “Where are you going dressed up like that?” His voice sounded still sleepy. I turned around to look at him. “Eat breakfast, I guess? Isn't i
Chapter 80: Trapped Sofia's POV I didn't make a sound while he was hugging me; I could even hear his heartbeat. I feel embarrassed at the same time because of our position right now. But I'm too afraid to separate from him. I shouldn't have gotten in this elevator a while back. We ended up trapped here. “Do you have your phone with you?” He asked me, but I just shook my head. “I charged it before leaving the room,” I answered him because it was true. He looked for his phone to call for help, but it was out of battery. He sighs. We can't see anything because it's too dark. I am slightly separated from him. And we both sat on the floor. We stayed like this for almost five minutes, but no one was coming to help us. I hugged myself; at least I had company here; it would lessen my fear. I heard him clear his throat. “How is life being Presley?” He suddenly asked me. I thought he would never talk to me. It made me a little bit calm because of his question. “I have a great mom; I m
Chapter 81: Workaholic Person Sofia's POV Marcus and Natalie announced after what happened in the elevator that the pre-celebration for their wedding was already done. It only takes three days since they told us that it was extended. Their wedding is one month from now. After we went home that day, I also found out that Marcus and Natalie had a fight. Lianth told me. I don't know if it's because she saw us so close at that time. I was just scared, and we just talked about life. There's nothing wrong with it. I mean, Marcus is already engaged with Natalie, and I have no plan of ruining their relationship. I am not that kind of person. I’d rather stay away than ruin their relationship. Did she just get jealous? Marcus and I didn't do anything wrong in the elevator. I feel guilty because of what happened to both of them. I sigh and look at the laptop. “Having deep thoughts?” Alex suddenly appeared in my office. “Not really, I'm just thinking about Natalie. I have no intention o
Chapter 82: I'm not a threat. Sofia's POV “What's wrong with them?” The old lady asked the man beside her. “I don't know,” he shrugged. “Can't they just go outside? They are so disturbing,” the girl said, and it seems Natalie heard what she said. “You! Shut up! Do you know who I am?!” She faced the lady that made her scared. “Stop it, Natalie,” I'm trying to be calmer, but she's still making a scene. “Oh, come on! Stop pretending, Sofia! I knew it was you all this time and not Helena!” She slammed her bag on the table. The customers are getting scared because of the way she's acting. I was about to talk when she laughed. “Are you here to take revenge? Oh, come on! You won't get back to us, Sofia. I already made your life miserable before, and I can do it again right now!” What she said made me knit my forehead. I have no idea what she's talking about. “Marcus loved you before, but not now. He's already mine! And guess what?! No matter how you pursue him, her mother will ne
Chapter 83: Kidnapped? Sofia's POV After that day, I never had communication with Marcus or with Natalie. My life became peaceful because no one disturbed me again or kept on calling me Sofia, where I was not. It's been a month, and I have become too busy with our business. Mom also went out of the country because she was going to visit some of her relatives. That's why I'm left here alone. “Ms. Helena, there's an invitation for you,” Elisha handed me an invitation card, and when I opened it, it was a wedding invitation. I sigh when I see who’s getting married. Their wedding will be held tomorrow. “Thank you,” she smiled and left my office. They never forget to invite me after what happened. Maybe they already believe in me that I'm not the person they are referring to. Actually, I'm really planning to cancel being her bridesmaid because of what happened, but then it would be inappropriate if I did that. Besides, I already cleared myself that I'm Helena. I stood up and dialle
Chapter 84: Disappointed Sofia's POV“Marcus?” I closed my eyes for the second time. I saw him smile a bit. I struggled to think about where I am right now and what I am doing here.He didn't respond; instead, he just simply looked at me, which made me irritated. He then started to walk away. Without a second thought, I followed him curiously.“What am I doing here?” I walked past him and went in front of him.“Answer me!” He didn't answer, and I heard him sigh. Damn it!“Are you the one who made all of those things?” I pushed him, but he's too strong and remains standing.“So you did this?” I threw him the pillow beside me. I have a lot of things to do in our business! I thought after the wedding I could continue working, and yet I'm here!“I did,” he answered, and I furiously looked at him.“What about your wedding?! I thought I would be the bridesmaid?! Why are we here?” I knew he was up to something. My gaze went to the clock, and it was already late for their wedding.“I just ma
Chapter 85: I am not your enemy, HelenaSofia's POV“You can't do this to me, Marcus!” I was too frustrated because of what he said. Screw him!“Yes, I can,” he looked at me teasingly. He even crossed his arms while looking at my reactions.“Don't you dare play with me, Mr. Sterling. I'm telling you. You don't want to be my enemy!” I closed my fist, but he didn't give a damn.“I am not your enemy, Helena. Besides, I brought you here because I wanted to know something,” he stated. His words made me think about something. Is this about my investment? Or about my company? Did he just conduct an investigation into our company?“Look, if this is all about our business?! We don't run illegal businesses, Mr. Sterling. Besides, you can talk to me about it in the first place.” I forced myself to be calmer. I just can't stay here together with him right now. If he's just pretending about his wedding today, then he successfully played it. But I don't think his fiancée also knew about this.“I do
