The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 46 What if
SOPHIABack to the present…“Oh my gosh!“ She exclaimed as she sat upright.“That's insane. I never knew this was what happened,”I sighed. It's surprising he never told her what happened either.“Why didn't you tell me this then? I'm your best friend, if you can't confide in anyone, that's why I'm there,”I sighed and picked up my glass, slowly twirling the cup, watching the liquid dance around in it, before I dropped the glass.“You are his sister before you are my best friend. I didn't want anything to be awkward,”She sighed and leaned in closer, reaching to hold my hand on the table.“It still doesn't matter,”She sighed and pulled back her hands, picking up her glass. “Ugh, I feel so awful that you couldn't talk to me when you most needed someone with you,”I forced a smile. “That's in the past and you cannot be blamed for that,”She nodded as she set the glass down. “You are right,”“We have to deal with it now. You still love Ryan,”I exhaled, leaning my back on the couch, I r

SOPHIA “Here, because you never cook for yourself,” Zara said to me as she handed me the bag where she packed the dishes we didn't eat, for me.“Don't I deserve one too?“ Ryan asked.She rolled her eyes. “You can cook for yourself. I really don't care about you,”He rolled his eyes at her and started to head to the door.It was refreshing to see them banter like 16-year-olds. In another life, I'd have my sibling and we'd have cute little banters like this.Zara patted my back softly. “Good luck,” I smiled. “Thank you for tonight, Zara,”She gave me a mock salute and I giggled, turning around, I followed after Ryan.I took in a deep breath as the doors to the elevator closed with the two of us in it.Tonight might be that night. I need to get myself mentally and emotionally prepared. Surprisingly, throughout the elevator ride to the parking space, we didn't speak to each other. He held out the door of his car for me and I got in, muttering a thank you to him.He got in too and I cer

SOPHIAThe next day...I rushed out of my room and I pulled my hair into a ponytail. The atmosphere of today just felt right, and unlike other days, I woke up with a smile.Or maybe it was because Ryan and I finally addressed our issues. Anyway, I was happy and that was what mattered.After tightly tying up my hair, I grabbed the flower vase and headed into the kitchen to change the water, then I returned the tulips to it.I smiled as I ran my hands through the petals. The tulips were gradually filling up the vase and in no time, it would be a complete bouquet. Wasn't this just the sweetest thing to do? And he was consistent about it too.The doorbell chimed, startling me for a moment.Was that Ryan? I quickly smoothed out my shirt and headed for the door.My smile widened when I pulled open the door and saw Ryan standing on the other side.“Hey, good morning,” he greeted with a wide smile.I nodded. “Good morning,”Why did I suddenly feel a bit shy? “Here,” he stretched out the tu

SOPHIA' Ryan Caddel and Adriana Hills to get married in two months?…' I read these words inwardly, my eyes widening as I did.'… Sophia Adams, Ryan's ex, tries to get in between their marriage after her marriage and career in Canada fails. Using Caddel for clout to regain her fame? People ask. Info released by insider.'I almost threw up at the last sentence. How wrong could they get? Everything they assumed about me? First, that I was wicked, and that I used illegal means to attain that position in my career, and now they had run out of things to accuse me of, so now they say that I was using Ryan for clout?How disgusting of them to say that and to even bring my failed career into this as if it wasn't their fault, to begin with when they spread fake news about me.Just when I thought my life was getting a little better, this happened.Who would it be this time? A random reporter who wanted a big news hit? Or someone I knew who wanted me down?Of course, it would be the last, bec

SOPHIALater that day…“Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?“ Rose asked as I started to pack up for the day.Surprisingly my team had not said anything about the news, they all greeted and talked to me like on normal days, and unlike other staff who kept staring at me, they were chill. And I liked that they weren't too inquisitive. It was either that they didn't believe what was said about me or they probably just didn't care.Maybe Rose was right, there might be people who don't believe the bad things that they say about me on the internet.I passed her a small grateful smile. “I'm fine really,”“Besides I'm leaving with sir Ryan,”She nodded in relief. “That's good then,”She patted my shoulder. “Wishing you both the best of luck,” I smiled. We might need it. I shut down the laptop and started to pack my bags. Once I was done, I picked up my phone and switched it on. After I talked to Zara earlier this morning about what happened, I turned off my phone because I didn't

SOPHIAI finally got over my shock as he began to walk up to us.What was he doing here? He never told me he was going to visit? Was that why he had been calling? He did say we should meet today, but I wasn't expecting him to come to my house.“What are you doing here?““Sophia I was worried, I couldn't get to you,” he said when he got to us.He raised his hand to my hair but before he could touch it or before I could step away, Ryan slapped his hand away.“What do you think you are doing?“ he snapped.Lucas turned to him, his brows arched.“You must be Ryan,” Ryan scoffed as he held my wrist, pulling me closer to him. “And what does that have to do with you?“Lucas smiled slightly and then turned to me.“Did you not tell him about our marriage?“His eyes darted back to Ryan. “And are you not supposedly engaged to Adriana Hills?““How problematic can you be? Bringing Sophia into this for your selfish gains,”“You don't know anything about me or Sophia,” Ryan replied, his voice harshe

SOPHIAA tingle rushed up my legs. For a second, I felt dazed but when he tilted his head to the left and urged me to open up, I found myself giving in to him.His hands found their way to my waist as he gently pulled me to him. There was nothing rushed or sloppy about this kiss and I liked it.I almost forgot what it felt like to be like this with him. His hands slowly caressing my sides, my fingers finding their way into his hair.This was what I've always wanted.I wasn't just in love with Ryan. It was something more than that.When we both finally pulled away, I was gasping for breath. Ryan smiled and leaned to place kisses all over my face. I burst out laughing when he kissed my nose.“What was that for?“The smile remained on his face, his eyes filled with warmth as he kept his eyes on mine.“I just can't get enough of you,” he whispered. I grinned. “Is that so?““You are quite obsessed with me love,”“Keep calling me that Sophie and I'll never be able to let you go,” he murmure

SOPHIAI shook my head before my brain let those thoughts sink in.No negative thoughts. Not when I finally found a reason to be happy.I was about to pack up my things when I received a call. Since my phone was connected to my earphone, It didn't ring out loud.The number was an unsaved number. It didn't seem like the one Jake used to call me so picked it up.“Hello, how can I help you?““You are lucky you are not home.”I frowned and looked at the number on the phone again. Must be a mistake.“I'm sorry you have the wrong number,” I cut him off and ended the call.I rolled my eyes as I pulled the headphones off.My fault for answering a call from an unsaved number at midnight.I turned off my iPad, placed the pencil in its case, and covered the screen with the case.I got on my feet and walked up to Ryan to tell him I was leaving already. What I didn't expect was to see him asleep when I got to the table. No wonder it had been quiet earlier when I took off my headphones.He had his

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

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

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
