SOPHIAThe next day…“Oh my gosh Sophia!“ Rose exclaimed as soon as she saw me. She rushed to me and hugged me, and so did Ariel. I smiled.“It feels good to have you back,” she added. I exchanged greetings with the other staff in the office and thanked them for reaching out to me.“Are you sure you feel much better now?“ Ariel asked as we headed to our desk.“Yeah, so much better,” I nodded.“I'm happy to have you here again,” Ariel smiled as we took our seats.I returned her smile and then got to work.All through the morning, I kept glancing out to see if Ryan would walk out of his office, but he never did. Even when we had our briefing meeting, he wasn't there. Did he not come to work? Or was he really avoiding me like I told him to?That thought hurt me a little more than I needed it to.This was the end, wasn't it?Immediately it was lunchtime, I took my phone and headed out. I didn't go with Rose and Ariel to the lunch room, instead I headed to the rooftop.Just as I passed by

SOPHIAI pulled away from him and wiped my tears.“You came. You were worried about me,” he said softly. I met his gaze again, tears streamed down my face. “When have I never been?“ I whispered. He carefully dropped the clothes on the table and held my hands, looking down at me in desperation and hope.“Is there a way to unuse my favor card? Don't get married to him, please. I won't be able to survive if you do,”I shook my head. “I know it took me too long to admit and tell you this, but…”“I love you so much, Ryan.““And it's such a beautiful thing that I can love you this much for this long,” “If it's not with you, I don't want it,”“I don't want to get married to Lucas or anyone that's not you,”He had a smile on his face as he raised his right hand to wipe my tears. I touched his hand.“What do you want?“I sniffed in my tears.I didn't care that I probably looked horrible with tears running down my cheeks, what mattered was I was with Ryan now and neither of us was fighting it

SOPHIAI jumped into Ryan's arms immediately as I walked out of the apartment. He laughed. “Hey, careful there,” When I finally pulled away I was smiling ear to ear.I hope this happiness finally lasts for a long time.“Are you ready?“ he asked.I nodded and raised my bag a little higher so he could see. “So ready,”“Would that be enough for you?“ he asked.I frowned as we started to head to the elevator. “We are going to stay there for only a day, I don't have to bring much,” He nodded. “Yes!” I squealed as I jammed my hands together. “I cannot wait to taste your mom's cooking again!““It's the best I've ever had,”Ryan frowned as he turned to me. “I thought that was mine,”I smirked. “You are cool, but nowhere near Mrs Caddel,”“Wow, love, I feel proud, “ he muttered in sarcasm and I burst out laughing.“Don't worry, you are still my favorite,” “Of course,” he said smugly as he draped his hands around my shoulder, pulling me closer to himself. “Who else could it be?“I laugh

SOPHIA“Ryan said you are working in his company,” Ryan's mother said as she dropped the cooking spoon on the counter.I nodded. “As a character designer. At least I can put my hobby to work there,”She nodded. “Do you like it there?“I smiled as I placed my hands over the knife and pushed it down through the carrots.“Of course. I have a wonderful team and a wonderful boss, and the work is-”“Fun,”She came to stand beside me and took the knife from me. “I can do it,” I tried to insist but she just smiled and continued to cut it.“What I'm asking is if you like the work, character...“ She trailed off. “Character designer,” I completed. She nodded. “What about being a fashion designer? Don't you want to try doing that again?“I sighed.I wanted to. In fact, over the night I thought about how much I loved working as a fashion designer. If there was a way my name could magically be cleared of all the allegations and stigma, I'd not hesitate to go back to that work.“I want to, but th

SOPHIAAfter dinner…I sat outside in the garden with my phone in my hand. I was contemplating calling Lucas and ending it once and for all.But what would I say? How would I put it down? I can already imagine the reaction he would have. He'd be hurt, but he of all people knew what love was like. Lucas's reaction aside, how mad would my mom be? They would want to bring up my signature against me, which was where the problem was. I wanted to trust Ryan, but how on earth was he going to pull me out of this one?I finally got the courage and was about to send him a text instead when I received a notification. It was a text.Lucas: Where have you been all day? You've been avoiding my calls, and you are not home either. What's going on?I sighed after I read the text and turned the phone screen down.I think I've hurt a lot of people with my actions and decisions. I'm not exempted.This would have been so much better, and I'd be having my happy ending right now if I had not signed the con

SOPHIA I replayed the look on his face just as I said those words to Lucas. He didn't look as hurt as I thought. It was more of anger and frustration. If he reacted this way, then how would my parents?No, I needed to put my parents aside for now. If I could just get him to agree with him we didn't need their opinion to annul the contract.I immediately got on my feet and wiped my tears. I slipped into my footwear and rushed out of the house to see if I could catch up with him.One more time. I'd try to convince him calmly this time around. What was the probability that he'd have a change of mind like Adriana did?As the elevator began to move, I recalled Ryan's words the night we were in his house.He had said we would talk to him together. Should I not have told Lucas yet?It was too late to ask myself that question, alright. The deed had already been done.Thankfully, Lucas was just heading to his car when I got to the parking space. I ran up to him and held him just before he cou

SOPHIA I looked up, and the kind of relief that washed through me when I saw Ryan was something I don't think I've ever felt.I almost died. If he hadn't come at that second, I would have been nothing but a memory.He looked at me as if trying to see if I had any bruises, when his eyes landed on my bleeding knee I saw the way his eyes hardened and became cold and then he turned to the man who was writhing in pain on the parking lot floor.“You bastard!“ He cursed marching up to him. I watched in tears as he picked him up by the collar and dealt countless punches on his face.“This would teach you that there are just some people that you never mess with,” he added after he had dealt him the last punch that made him lose consciousness. Immediately I saw that he had passed out, I lowered my head in relief as the tears seemed to double. I didn't know if I was crying for the fact that he had passed out or because Ryan saved me at the right moment.“Sophie,” Ryan exclaimed as he rushed to

SOPHIAI sat at the table with Ryan as we ate dinner. It was rather quiet with both of us not saying a word. After the little argument that we had, it's been awfully quiet, and I felt awful, too.I mean, I was at fault. He clearly said we would talk to him together, but I went ahead to do it alone. I was sure he must be trying to keep himself from blaming me for signing the contract because he didn't want to make me feel bad.He said he wanted our children to have my charming personality, yeah no, I don't want them to grow up and then make stupid decisions like me that would hurt people around them, and the one they love, the most. How would I put down my words now? I was the one who got us into this mess after all.We finished dinner, and I volunteered to clear the dishes since he was the one who made dinner, but he refused, claiming that I needed to rest after everything that had happened today. He was right, though. I was feeling beat already, so I didn't argue with him after the

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
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
