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
Chapter 86: Our Room?Sofia's POVI am still pondering whether staying here is a good idea. Why doesn't he just let me go so I can show him the evidence? He's making things too difficult.I never imagined things would turn out this way. I never thought I'd spend my time here with him."So, how long do you expect me to stay here?" I asked him as he drank water. I waited for his response, but he remained silent even after finishing.I sighed. I shouldn't have asked. I knew it would take days or weeks, given his behaviour of not answering my questions. This guy is really something else.After finishing our meal, he washed the dishes. Since it's not my job here—considering he abducted me—it's his duty. I still couldn't forget how I ended up here, having dinner with my kidnapper.Such things have never happened to me before; they only happen when Mom is far away.I already miss her. I want to talk
Chapter 87:He's driving me crazy! Sofia's POV I wake up without Marcus by my side. Maybe I was just hallucinating last night due to tiredness. I stood up, wanting to take a shower, so I searched for clothes. Luckily, I found clothes for girls that suited me. I went to the bathroom and hurriedly took my shower. I even saw a toothbrush already prepared. After finishing my daily routine, I sat on the bed, sighing while thinking about how to escape from here. My mom would be worried by now. I looked around for something I could use for communication, but I couldn't find anything. I also searched for my purse, but it’s gone. I don't know where it went; maybe Marcus hid it from me. I decided to leave my room, and there I saw him cooking, his topless body showing his muscles. “Where are my things?” I asked him, but he didn't even glance at me. Right! Just right! “You have to give me your phone now, Marcus,” I to
Chapter 88:Don't laugh!Sofia's POVI woke up feeling hungry, and it was already late at night. My tummy is demanding food. At first, I hesitated to leave the room because I knew Marcus was outside, though I was not sure if he was still awake or asleep.I sighed and touched the door, feeling numb. I hesitated to open it. Damn! What should I do?“Damn, I'm hungry,” I muttered. I didn't know if I should go outside or not. I bit my lip and returned to my bed, sitting down.Damn! What am I supposed to do? I don't want to see that jerk! I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, my tummy growling.“Can’t you wait for another hour? I just want to make sure he's not around before we go eat,” I said to myself, feeling stupid.I found myself opening the door and sneaking into the kitchen. Damn! I couldn't help but look for food.I walked slowly, making sure not to make noise, step by s
