1 The fallout

SOPHIA “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking." A voice broke through my deep train of thoughts. “We are currently descending and will be landing shortly. Please ensure your seatbelt is securely fastened and your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position." I pulled up the window blind and looked outside the plane. Under the clouds, the tall buildings in the city were now visible. This was it. I was back in California. I never thought I'd come back for anything. I left with that intention, but, I guess life has a way of humbling you. In my case, I was insanely—no, I was brutally humbled. I'd never wish what life did to me on anyone else, anyone except Jake and Naomi. I had been living the life people would die for. After graduating fashion school, I started my very own clothing line, and I had worked really hard and brought it to the top with blood, sweat, and tears. Well, my life had been going pretty fantastic until it all hit me like a ...

2 The first chapter
RYAN “That's all for today. It's a free day again." Narin, my personal assistant said as she pushed the chair backward and got on her feet. “Thank you, Narin. Inform the team working on the new game to get ready for the briefing tomorrow before lunch,” I said and closed the document, then stretched it out to her. She reached for it with a polite smile. “Yes sir. Should I get the car ready?“ I nodded. “Please do” She was out in a few seconds, and I pushed back my chair and got on my feet. I exhaled as I stood in front of the glass wall, staring at the beautiful view my office was opened to. After a few moments of silently basking in the beauty of the city, I grabbed my suit and phone and headed out of my office. An hour later... "Oh, look who's here again." My mom exclaimed as soon as I walked into my parent's living room. I smiled and walked up to her to give her a hug. “Where's dad?“ “He's having lunch with Mr. Adams,” she replied as she picked up the TV remote control. At

3 Ambivalence
SOPHIA Ryan Caddel was equally as surprised to see me as I was. Was this Zara's role play? Wait, but wasn't it normal that her brother came to visit her? Maybe I should have just stayed at a hotel. The thought crossed my mind again as I stared at the man standing before me. Nothing changed. Or maybe it did. I would not deny that I hadn't looked at his pictures a few times after I moved away. His rich black hair fell carelessly over his face, framing them so beautifully. After what happened 8 years ago, it should be a crime that he still makes my stomach twist in weird ways and that I still find him attractive. “Sophia?“ He called, his voice sounding a bit rough and unsure. “When did you come back?“ He asked. And then it all came pouring in. Why was I feeling suddenly nervous? I hate him, right? Right. I called things off. I'm supposed to hate him. My expression hardened, and I turned to walk back in, leaving his question hanging. “Zara, you have a guest,” I called out loudly.

4 How much longer?
SOPHIA His eyes circled my face, lingering on the tears sliding down my cheeks. The look in his eyes softened as he searched my eyes for answers. “Sophia, is someone after you?“ He asked slowly, his voice a deep, rich baritone that made my insides twist in a way I hated but couldn't help. I watched his eyes dart from my face to behind me as if looking for who I was running from. I came back to my senses immediately and pulled away from him, almost slipping, if not for his quick reflex to hold my hands. I slipped my hands out of his grip before I'd do anything stupid. I didn't want Mom to see him with him. She's never been an actual fan of him, even when we dated. 'Wait, was I trying to protect him from her now? I don't care if they meet again. Ryan and I are nothing more than strangers right now.' I subtly- not so subtly, wiped the tears away from my cheeks and looked up at Ryan with a wide fake smile. His eyes narrowed in confusion for a split second before realization set in

5 No matter how long
SOPHIA Mother was right. Ryan didn't deny it anyway.I sighed. It was good I didn't give him any attention, or I'd be further hurt.I dropped the card on the table just as Zara walked into the living room. Her eyes darted from me to the card I just placed on the table before she looked back at me.“When did you get back?“ she asked as she sat on the couch opposite me and grabbed her laptop.“A few minutes ago,” I gestured to the card. “Your brother is getting married?“I didn't know if that came out as a question or an affirmation. “That's what I hear too. How'd you figure it out?“I shrugged. “I met him today when I was with my mother, she mentioned it,” She raised a brow in surprise. “She did?““I'm wondering. How did they get on good terms?“She sighed and looked away from me. “Your parents partnered with ours,” I saw the way she avoided my eyes. She was hiding something, but I decided to turn a blind eye to it. I know she had questions about Ryan and my past relationship,

6 Everytime it hurts
RYAN I paused as soon as I saw the person seated on the white plush couch in my living room.She turned around just as I paused and a smile appeared on her face. She got on her feet, facing me.“You are back,” She called softly.“What are you doing here?“The smile fell off her face and she sighed and began to walk up to me.“We are getting married soon. You should stop these acts,”“Standing me up for our date today? That's not very gentlemanly of you,”Right, I hadn't meant to, but as soon as I saw Sophia, I lost track of every plan I had made. I had told her to wait, I had little expectations but I really didn't expect her to leave. She was determined to permanently erase me from her life, but she should know that I wouldn't let that happen.I had let eight years pass by because I wanted her to stop hating me, but even now, I don't think she'd stop anytime soon. Unless I took a bold step.Every time she looked at me coldly, pulled awa

7 a deal
SOPHIAI lowered the curling iron from my hair as I looked at myself in the mirror at the vanity table.It was my first official day of taking things slow here and having the ultimate fun. I was supposed to go with Zara but an urgent meeting that she couldn't ignore suddenly came up.It would be really better if I went with someone but Zara was the only person I knew here.'Ryan?' The little voice in my head inputed. I shook my head. Definitely not. That would be jumping from the pot into the fire with my own hands. Absolute insanity.Maybe I should learn to start doing things on my own so that way I wouldn't be so broken when I'm left on my own.I finished touching up my hair, grabbed my phone, and headed out of the room.I got a call as I walked out and I picked it up once I saw who it was.“Good morning Sophia,”I smiled as I made my way into Zara's kitchen.“Good morning Aimee. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your calls. How have you been

8 Proud of you
SOPHIA“So…” Ryan began. From the corner of my eyes, I caught him sparing me a glance.“Do you have an itinerary or not?“ Well, I did have a few things planned out. I've always wanted to try pottery back in Canada but I had been too busy to, so I signed up for a pottery class by noon, afterwards I'd try out some street market food and lastly hike to the top of the hills to catch the sunset.I was especially looking forward to the hike. I think the beautiful view would be exactly what I needed.“Are you still with me?“ I heard Ryan's voice. I blinked back as I realized that I left his question hanging. I cleared my throat and took out my phone so I could read the address out to him.“Dais Potters-”“The same I know?“ He asked incredulously. I whipped my head to look at him. “How do you- oh”I totally forgot it was the first place he learned pottery. What was I thinking?! How did I forget?It was the place he forced me to go with him when I wa

9 Valid emotions
SOPHIA “Sophia!“ He called again, his fingers wrapped around my wrist, bringing me to a stop.I glanced back at him, a glower on my face. “Let go of me, Ryan,”He looked down at our hands and as he met my gaze again, he slowly let go of me. I felt a strange drop in my stomach when I felt the ghost feel of his hands.I asked him to. I reminded myself. This was why I never wanted to meet him again.“Do you hate me that much Sophie?“I raised a brow. “I think you've worded your statement wrongly,”“No I've not, and that's exactly how I feel,”“I've waited for eight years to let you give me the chance to say-”“Let's not talk about what happened eight years ago, Ryan. If it's not yet quite obvious, I'm not interested in it anymore,”He took a step forward. “Well, I am. We can't ignore these things,”I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. “I came here because I wanted to take a break. Not for you, not for anybody,”“I'm on

10 A joke
SOPHIEThe next day, I woke up to a text message from my mother. More precisely, an invitation card for a fucking company dinner party dated tonight. When would my parents finally realize that I didn't care about their company, that I didn't want to follow the path in life that they had taken? Never I guess. In their eyes, I was still that sixteen-year-old girl who made a mistake, the same sixteen-year-old who didn't know how to do things or make decisions for herself and they'll continue to downplay me. No matter what I achieve. ( It's an order from me and your father. You must be there ) those words were attached to the invitation picture.A joke. That was honestly what they thought I was. They never bothered to ask me how I was, when I got back, or if what I was accused of was true. In fact, it was never talked about, and now I'm invited to their dinner party like my life was perfectly in order.Insane.Despite the strong headache, I pulled the blan
