The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 55 A change of mind
RYAN“Mom, is there not something you can do to help me?““Do you love seeing me this miserable?“She turned to look at me at once. “Ryan! Why would you say that?!““You know, your father and I want the best for you and your sister,”I held her hand tightly.“Then help me,”“You know how hard it was for me when Sophie and I parted ways. Everyone thought I'd get over it but I never could,”“I found myself going to her every time but I was just too guilty to walk up to her. Now that I have a chance again, I can't let this arranged marriage ruin it,”“If it's not with Sophie, I can't do it,”“Help me convince Mr Hills that marriage is not the best way anymore. I have better ideas that'll benefit more in the long run, we just need to talk about that,”My mom slowly pulled her hand away from my hold and held mine instead.“Yes, I know Ryan. I know how much you love Sophia and I'm proud that you are facing those feelings again very openly,”“You know this contract wasn't just drawn up this y

SOPHIAI slowly opened my eyes, stirring slightly in my position. I sighed as soon as my brain got a hold of my current situation. I had slept off on the couch while waiting for Ryan to arrive.I looked down at the floor beside me. My phone had slipped out of my grip, probably while I was asleep. I picked it up, sighing when I saw the little cracks at the bottom of the screen. I turned the phone on.It was past midnight, and still no texts or calls from Ryan. He said he was going to be a few minutes late about three hours ago. Where exactly was he?Did something happen on the way? Or did he stand me up?'What if he's with Adriana?' I shook my head as soon as those thoughts dropped in my head.That would be far from possible. Besides, he wouldn't want to do that, not especially when he was trying to win me back, except if he was just playing around with me.I decided to call Zara. I hope I wasn't ruining her sleep.She answered the call after a few rings.“Uh Sophia,” she murmured.I f

SOPHIAI kept thinking about the text that I got last night even as I took my bath the next morning. Even when I stepped out and changed into my work clothes, I still couldn't stop worrying about what it meant.I'd have a long day today.Was that still a mistake? Or a coincidence? Three weeks ago, I received a call at around the same time I got the text, same as last two weeks and last week. Was it a cause for alarm?Did it mean something bad? Was it a stalker? Whoever was trying to prank me had better quit it, because I was starting to get creeped out. Especially the fact that the calls and texts came between 12 and 1 in the early morning.As I sat at the vanity to do my hair, an idea dropped in.What if I called the number? Stupid idea but that's the only thing I could think of.I didn't want to tell Zara or Ryan about it so they wouldn't worry too much, especially if it then turned out to be nothing serious. I took in a deep breath and then picked up my phone as I lowered the curl

SOPHIA “I was just thinking about that last night. It feels like yesterday,” Ariel exclaimed. I nodded, smiling lightly. It did feel like yesterday.“Wait, why are we sapping about the year like we are older than we are now?“ Rise suddenly asked.Ariel and I burst out laughing. “You are literally the one who brought up the topic,” Ariel snickered.Rose grinned. “You just had to ruin the nostalgia, Captain Obvious,” she added.Rose raised her hands in mock defeat, her lips turning up into a frown. “Hey, don't come for me,”We stepped into the company's building, sliding my card in the card reader to let us behind the barrier as we headed for the elevator. I zoned out of the argument they had turned their conversation into when I felt my phone buzz with a notification.I pulled it out when we stepped into the elevator, they were both still engrossed in their arguments. I shook my head as I glanced at them.How did they turn that little conversation we just had into banter?I lowered m

SOPHIAI pulled open the door of the office and walked in quickly, heading for my seat immediately. I didn't turn to glance at him, this time around, I was going to walk away from him and not look back.“Is everything okay?“ Rose whispered, leaning closer to me. I shook my head as I forced a smile. “I'm fine,”She nodded and withdrew to face her desk. I turned on my system and opened the word app to draft my resignation letter.As I typed in the first letter, I paused. Leaving now would only put me at a disadvantage, I was yet to get enough to keep me for as long as I could find another job, and it would be unprofessional to leave here for personal reasons, so I decided not to anymore and I deleted the document.My phone beeped with a new notification and I picked it up, hoping it was the stranger that had replied to my question, instead it was Ryan.It showed he had sent 4 texts and the most recent was what was showing on the message's front page.Ryan: Please don't ignore me.That's

SOPHIA They all looked at me in surprise. Even I surprised myself with what I just did.I thought about it all the drive here and maybe I should just not fight it anymore. After all Ryan's had shown me who he truly was.I raised my brow as I stepped forward. “Is this not what you've always wanted?“ My eyes darted between my parents and Lucas. The confused look on their faces remained.“What made you change your mind,”I took my seat beside Lucas.“I figured you were right about everything,” I said to her. There was a small look of 'I told you didn't I' on her face before she nodded. “That's all good then,” Dad cut in.I looked at him.“Let's begin the necessary preparations for the wedding,”“I've spoken to-”“I want a private wedding,” I cut him off.“That's not up to you to decide,” he replied. Even after I agreed to their decision they still wouldn't let me get what I wanted.“You heard the news last three weeks and the one that made me lose my career,”“It's not good publicit

RYANEarlier… I watched helplessly searching Sophie's eyes, hoping for that warmth in them, hoping against hope that she'd at least let me know what I did wrong. When I realized she was serious about me leaving, I slowly let go of her.She was about to leave when she stumbled a bit but as I leaned forward to hold her, she moved away before I could and walked away.I watched her leave, praying for once that she'd turn back to me and say it was just a joke, but when she got into a cab and left, I knew that whatever was happening was real.What exactly had I done wrong? We had breakfast together and came to the office together. Nothing seemed off then until I saw her after the lunch break when I was leaving with Adriana. Wait-Was she angry because she saw us together? But I wasn't holding her and that was not enough reason to be this mad at me. She knew well that Adriana was one of my business partners.Whatever it was, I needed to find out now. I couldn't just leave after everything t

SOPHIA“I feel sick,” I muttered to Zara over the phone as I curled my legs even more under the blanket.When I got home very early in the morning after spending the night at the playground, I hadn't been expecting to see Lucas waiting at my door. When the first thing he did immediately he saw me was to hug me, I almost fell for his trap again but I had to remind myself that it meant nothing to him and he was only doing this to me because it was fun for him.I was grateful it was the weekend because there was no way I could show up to work in my current state. Since I wasn't sheltered from the rain, when I woke up this afternoon, I was down with a fever. I hate it when I have those.“Have you taken any medications? Do you want me to make chicken soup for you?“I coughed and then picked up the tissue by my side to wipe my runny nose.“Didn't you say you have an important impromptu schedule today?““Yes but-”“Exactly,” I cut her off softly.“I'll take care of myself,”At least someone

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
