The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 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

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

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.

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

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,

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

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

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

SOPHIA Five years later “Oh, Aimee, it better not be something that you can handle yourself,” I said as I walked into my office, with her rushing in behind me.“I'm here when I'm supposed to be getting gifts for Ryan since he's returning today. This better be good,”“It is,” I paused as soon as she said those words.I recalled the day the news came out about me.Those were the similar lines of words that I spoke. But now things are different. How much everything has changed from then, never fails to amaze me.I had reached and even exceeded what I never thought I would in my business. Though we've had some setbacks, I still didn't let it stop me. I had also given birth to the cutest little girl and she just turned four years old a week ago.I was the luckiest to have such a happy family.“What is it?““Jerls has agreed to partner with us,”I turned to her immediately. “Don't play with me,”She turned the iPad so I could read the words on the screen. “I'm serious,”“Wow,” I burst
The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 99 the happy place
Two weeks laterSOPHIAI was writing down all I needed to do for the day, on my iPad. My wedding with Ryan was already just a day away. We didn't want something extra, after everything that happened so our only guests were family members and close friends. I also invited the team from the office and Aimee.Apart from making preparations for the wedding, I was also preparing for the opening of my company here and I almost forgot how much it takes to put everything into place, especially since we didn't have a building yet.Ryan had offered to help with that but I refused. I wanted to do it on my own, and if I eventually found it hard, I promised to tell him.Also, after the wedding, I'd be moving in with Ryan. And we were leaving this building, to the house that he bought. It was just about twenty minutes ride from here. Since Aimee was staying with me for the next time, Ryan offered his apartment for me to use once we finally moved into the new house. And I was grateful for that.I h
The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 98 relieved
TWO DAYS LATERSOPHIAI felt someone hold my hand and suddenly it felt like I was being pulled out of a deep hole. And then all of a sudden, I forced my eyes open and I was immediately welcomed with a bright light. I groaned as I tried to adjust to the sudden light I was exposed to.After a few seconds, I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the white ceilings. I groaned a bit as I looked around, taking note of my surroundings and then everything came rushing back.I survived. I was alive and I didn't die. I looked down at who was holding me and a small smile formed on my face when I saw Ryan. His hands held mine tightly but he was fast asleep. I wonder if he slept at all. I didn't know for how long I was out.I slowly raised the hand he wasn't holding and gently brushed through his hair.At that moment, he raised his head a bit and immediately he saw that my eyes were opened, and his eyes widened.“Sophie!“ He exclaimed as he sat up properly. I smiled.“I survived,”Tears well

SOPHIA Two days later…Two days had passed since the release of the game and I wasn't even expecting the amount of success that it had but it was just perfect.Everything was working out well.We were currently having a team dinner. Even though I had quit, Ryan thought it only made sense that I was there, since I was a part of the project.Ryan got on his feet.“Everyone has worked hard and given their best despite the pressure and challenges that they faced,”“RSC won't be standing without our hardworking staff members,”“So I want us to pat ourselves on the back for working hard,”I smiled.“Cheers to the success of our project!“ Ryan said as he raised his glass. We all got on our feet too, raising our glasses.“Cheers!“We took turns to clink glasses and I clinked my glass last with Ryan, he smiled warmly at me and I returned the smile.We spent the rest of the night talking and we left almost at midnight.“See you tomorrow, “ Ryan said as he hugged me.“Are you scared?“ I was g

SOPHIAFOUR DAYS LATERI pulled up my hair into a ponytail and then began to climb the stairs to the top of the yacht I put on my slippers as I sat on one of the benches.The wind was blowing a lot but I liked it even more. There was just something beautiful about it that made me happy.I tucked the stray strand of her that was blown to my face, behind my ear.A few days had passed since Jake went on the news. There had been various posts talking about me and finally, I wasn't being insulted or ridiculed. I had also received countless texts and calls from colleagues and so-called friends who were quick to leave after everything came down, not wanting us to go out for lunch or talk, but I had politely turned all of them down.Now everyone was waiting for what I wanted to do next. I was even waiting to see what I would do.After sitting on the upper deck for a while, I decided to go to the back of the yacht to dip my foot in the water.It was the night before the start of a new year, a

SOPHIA“How were you able to find me?“ I asked Ryan as we got into his car, he drove closely behind the police.“Well, he was smart but not smart enough. We tracked the location on your phone,”I nodded. “Thank you for coming to find me,”He interlocked my hand in his.“It's the least I can do after you risked your life trying to get evidence,”“I'm proud of you, my little ninja,”I chuckled. Well, I was proud of myself too. I never thought I'd make it out alive. I didn't even spend one night in his house. “So, does this mean it's over now?“ I asked.He nodded. “He would get his lawyer and want to defend himself but we have the best lawyer in the state and enough evidence so yes, we can say it's over now,”“If he's in jail, the contract is no longer valid,”I exhaled in relief, and a small smile formed on my face.Finally, the peace I hoped for was here.'Not entirely, remember?' The little voice spoke in my head but I shoved them aside.It wasn't the time to think of that.I dozed
The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 94 What kind of love
SOPHIA'My head hurts,' was the first thing I thought of when I felt myself regaining consciousness. I opened my eyes and had to squint them back at the sudden brightness.How did I get here? I tried to recall what had happened.I went into the kitchen to get a drink, and Lucas offered me a drink, I settled for orange juice instead, feeling myself getting dizzy, the smirk on Lucas face and then I passed out.I was in a huge mess. How long had I even been out?I looked around. I was in an almost empty room. The only thing in the room was an old TV, a worn-out couch, a rocking chair, and wooden table that had begun to wear out, and then the chair I was tied onto.Lucas was going far.How did he even find out? I was silent all through the time he walked in. Or was it my scent? Or was there a CCTV camera in the room?It had to be that. Shit, how did I not think of that?I looked around me again.This didn't look like I was in his house. Where had he taken me?The door opened and I looke
The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 93 what next
SOPHIA I put it in and surprisingly it unlocked and the door slid open. My eyes widened.Okay, this was crazy.I placed the picture back in its place and walked into the study room. The doors closed on its own.I found the light switch and flipped it on.There was a long wooden table with chairs, at the center of the room, like the ones in the meeting room, taking up almost all the space there.By the side there were two wooden chests, staying side by side, and then a shelf with glass doors. The shelf had antique objects like vases and cups in it so I didn't bother wasting my time checking it.I turned to the wooden chest instead. They looked like something that would have what I needed.I went on my knees and pulled it open.My eyes widened and my hands flew to cover my mouth immediately I saw what was in them.Freaking guns! How did he get this? Did he sell them? I opened the second one and I frowned when the first thing I saw were teddy bears and fluffy toys, but this wasn't th

SOPHIATwo days later…“You made the right decision,” Lucas said as I walked towards his car while pulling my luggage and holding one bag in my hand.I rolled my eyes.If only he knew what I had in stock for him. He'd regret ever liking me.He took my bag from me and placed it in the back seat and before he could hold out the door for me, I had already pulled it open and got in.I don't need his stupid act of service. He got in the car, started it, and drove off.“I'm surprised you agreed so fast. I was thinking I'd have to do one or two things to get you back on track,”Just one minute into the fake marriage I was already losing my mind and feeling like strangling him. I hope I won't blow my cover.“Don't worry I'm going to treat you better than any of your exes have,”Any of my exes? But he sent the second one as a spy and he's nowhere on the level of Ryan.“Oh, I see you don't want to talk to me,”It was better he caught on fast.“You'll come along soon,” he added and then turned
