SOPHIA “Are you leaving now?“ I asked Zara as I walked into the living room, pulling my hair into a ponytail. She looked up at me as she tied the last of her shoelace. A smile spread across her face.“Yeah,”“Can I get a ride?“ “Of course,”Minutes later…“How was the gathering last night? I didn’t know you’d come so late and I slept early,”I looked out of the window, sighing, as the memories of last night came flooding in, my argument with Mom, me lying about getting a job, Ryan coming to my help, and now the tight spot I was in.It was one pretty long night.“I told you they were going to try to scout me one way or the other and I wasn't wrong, ““So what did you say?““I told her I got a job,” I turned to her just as she did, surprise etched on her face.“Wait, did you?“ I laughed and turned away from her. “Of course not,”“But I got an offer to work somewhere,” I added as my mind drifted to Ryan handing over the business card to me.“Really? Where? What kind of work? “Will y

SOPHIAReally? Tissue guy?I mean that's the first thought that dropped immediately I saw his face. What was he doing here? Does he work here? No, he looks like someone who has his own company. “I mean-”He chuckled as I stopped talking.“Well, you are not wrong,” he replied as he stretched out my phone to me.I took it from him, sighing in relief when I saw the dents were nothing serious. I returned it to my bag and turned back to the man standing before me.“It's a small world, isn't it? Do you work here?“He shook his head. “No, but I'm an acquaintance to the owners,”I tilted my head to the left. Does he know my parents? How come I've never seen him before? He must not know me, because he's not acting like it.I decided not to give the information that it was my parent's company.“Oh that's cool, I guess,”“I should uh, be on my way now,” I added.He nodded, his charming smile not leaving his face. It somehow made me smile.“It's nice meeting you again, uhm-” I trailed off, waiti

SOPHIAI bit the inside of my lips, scoffing silently. I raised my hand to run it through my hair, my back still turned to them.“Mr Adams, I think it's understandable she refuses at first-”I turned around immediately, Lucas paused when he saw the frown on my face.“Understandable?“Right. I was not going to direct my anger at him, he was probably just following his parent's orders like mine wanted me to.I turned to my mother.“I was going to respect that we have an outsider here,” I began slowly.“Honestly, tell me, how long have you been planning this?“She hesitated for a while. Shockingly. I've never seen her hesitate this way, not in my presence. “Two years after you left,”My jaw dropped. “Even when you knew I was in a relationship leading to marriage?““And where is that relationship now?“ She fired back.I scoffed loudly, taking a step back to process her words.Times without numbers she makes it clear every day what I meant to her. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.“You know, I

SOPHIAI turned around to face him.“You don't know me that well,”He raised a brow as he crossed his arms. “So you did. What happened?“How was he always there every time, when I didn't want him to? Lucas and I had stopped by a store, where I bought a bottle of water to wash my face, in hopes that no one would know I cried, but I guess Ryan Caddel was an exception to that.“Not like you care or something,”He uncrossed his arms as he stepped closer to me, I didn't take a step back this time.“You think I don't?“I know you don't. “Go home to your wife,” I watched the visible disappointment in his eyes that he didn't try to hide. I find it disturbing that I liked to see him like that sometimes, and at the same time, it hurts a bit, though I know it shouldn't. I started to leave again but stopped. I didn't bother turning around.“Hire someone and don't wait around for me,” I said, loud enough for him to hear before walking away.The next day…Dais potterI exhaled as I walked into t

Two days laterSOPHIA“Are you sure about this?“ Zara asked for the umpteenth time as she pulled the car to a stop in the parking space.I smiled. “I mean, it could go absolutely wrong and it could not,”She parted her lips to speak but I beat her to it.“But whatever happens, I know for a fact that I'd rather not work for my parents,” She sighed. “I'm just worried, all that has happened between you both,”I smirked. “You know I'm very good at not mixing business with pleasure,”She laughed. “Yeah yeah. Have a wonderful first day and I hope this works out for you,”I nodded, held my bag, and alighted the car.I waved as she backed up and drove out.“I hope this works out too,” I muttered to myself. “Wow,” the words escaped my lips before I could even stop myself. Just from the building outside, my expectations for the interior had been high, but seeing this, it just blew it to the sky.The interior had a futuristic design. One thing I noticed was the countless plants that adorned

SOPHIAI froze. My brain did a double take. I know that voice all too well.Adriana Hills. Or maybe I should put it better. Adriana Caddel.Her expensive scent filled my nose as she stood beside me.“If it isn't Sophia Adams,” she added.I took in a deep breath and then, with the fakest of all smiles, I turned to her.“Adriana Hills,” my voice was far from warm.“Nuh-uh,” she waved her perfectly manicured index finger at me, a smirk on her face.“It's Adriana Caddel to you now,” I pressed my lips into a thin smile.Right.“It's been a while. I didn't expect to run into you, especially not in my fiancé's office. Alone,” she added.“Adriana-” Ryan started to say, but he cut her off.“What?! I'm not being rude,”“I just want to know why she's here after you've stood me up not once but twice, for her,”He did. Why? Was it the time that I was looking around? Or when I saw my mom for the first time.“Let's not talk about this now,” Ryan added firmly.“Why are you even here? You don't work

SOPHIA“So what do you think of your first meeting in RSC?“ Rose asked as she fell into steps with me.I reduced my pace. “It definitely feels challenging, but…” I trailed off.“I really love the idea of the game. I love the concept, too,”“Right? I feel that too,” She exclaimed, and I smiled.“That's right, I'd love to see some of your artwork. Do you have them with you?“I hesitated for a while and then nodded. Like I told Ryan, I hadn't drawn in years except sketches of new outfits. Right now, I wasn't even sure if I hadn't lost my touch or if I even still had my art designs. But was I supposed to tell Rose that? She'd probably be wondering how I got the job, and if anyone found out I somehow knew Ryan, I'd be tagged as a nepo baby who could get whatever she wanted without being qualified.“All good,” she replied.“Do you want to get lunch now?“I glanced at the time on my phone and then nodded. “Yeah, but first I need to get something in the office. I'll join you,”She nodded.

RYAN“Sophie?“ I called in surprise as my eyes met hers. She stood still. Her pretty gray eyes wide open in shock, her lips parted slightly. I fought myself to keep my eyes away from them.I've never wanted to hold her tightly to me as much as I wanted to now.The elevator door began to close, and I was quick to push the button to keep it open.She snapped out of her shock and stepped in. I pushed the button, and the door slowly shut behind her.“What are you doing here?“ I asked.She drew her head back, a frown on her face.Call me crazy. I was. For her. But that frown made her look even cuter.“I should be asking you that. I moved here. Are you stalking me?“A smile formed on my face as realization set in.'I don't think she knows that I lived in the penthouse of this same building, or she wouldn't have moved here, given how much she hates me.I hate that she does, and I'm trying to end that.'Maybe this was fate. Was this a way of the universe telling me that I still had a chance

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
