The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back 82 Her reality
SOPHIA “I hope it's nothing serious,” Ryan said to me as we sat in the waiting room of the hospital. “Of course not, they probably just want to do their check up because of the accident,” I replied, but I knew deep down in me that it was not just that, but I didn't want to think negatively to that extent. “Ms Adams?“ It was finally my turn.I got on my feet, and so did Ryan.We were about to leave for the doctor's office when Ryan received a call.He answered it. “Can you call back in five?“,“Oh shoot, I forgot,”“Alright, you'll put me on call,”He lowered the phone as he passed me an apologetic look.“It's work,”I nodded. “All good,”He kissed my forehead. “Good luck.“ And turned around, walking away. It was good that he left, I wanted to be the one to bear whatever bad news it was. I knew it was one because me in the hospital was never a good thing.I turned and walked into the office.The doctor stretched out the test results to me.“We found growths of cancer in your head,

SOPHIA “Ms Adams?“ I felt a cold chill run down my spine as I recalled my dream.It shouldn't repeat itself at all.I got on my feet and walked into the doctor's office.“Good evening,”“Good evening Ms Adams, please have your seat,”I forced a smile and took my seat.He turned the monitor towards me, and I swallowed nothing as I saw the image of my head on the monitor.What was I supposed to be seeing here?He slid over the test results to me, and I readied my heart for the worst when I saw that he appeared serious.“From your records, we've seen that you had brain cancer, and you got surgery,”I nodded. “Yes, I did, five years ago,”“How long have you been having those symptoms,”My heart started to race. “A long time,”He sighed. “You should have come to the hospital immediately. Things like this can not be taken lightly. Especially the fact you've been diagnosed before,”I nodded. Just tell me if I'm going to die or not.“So what's it this time around? Is it back?“To my utmost

SOPHIA“You are a psychopath,” He smirked. “It all began when I set my eyes on you,”“I'll get you to marry me. Thankfully you got into my trap when you signed the contract.““Even if it means getting rid of anyone in my way. Not excluding you pretty boyfriend, I'd gladly do that,”I stepped forward immediately. “Don't you dare bring Ryan into whatever rubbish you are planning,”“Leave him out of this,”“Pretty defensive aren't you? You should have not messed with me from the start,”He patted me. “Do the right thing. I hope I see you at the venue on Thursday morning,”With that, he walked away from me.I turned around, dumbfounded as I watched him get into the elevator. The doors closed and that was when the realization set in.I had messed up so badly.Lucas wasn't the person I thought him to be. There was nothing cool or nice about him. He was a freaking psychopath that wouldn't take no for an answer even after twelve years.I took in a deep breath as I ran my hands through my hai

SOPHIA“This looks so good,” I gestured to the stall next to us. “Let's get it then,” I grinned and we walked up to the store.“We'll have one of that,”“Thank you,” I said as we paid and were handed the food. It was a crepe with chocolate and strawberry fillings. I let go of Ryan so I could hold it properly. We went to sit on one of the available benches. I took a big bite and immediately I did, I let out a sigh of pleasure. It tasted so good.“Is it good?“ Ryan asked as he wiped the side of my lips. I nodded. “Try it,” I stretched it to his mouth and as he leaned closer to take out a bite, I smiled.Maybe I was grateful that what happened months ago happened. If it hadn't, I wouldn't have come back home and met Ryan again. We wouldn't have made up and I'd not be having this kind of happiness run through me now.“It's really good,” he said. I smiled in satisfaction. “What are your plans for Christmas,” he suddenly asked as I continued to eat.“I don't have one yet. I just know I

SOPHIA “Isn't that Lucas's voice?“ Ryan asked.My eyes widened. There was just no way that would be possible right? There was no way that Lucas was the man Ryan told me about. I knew he wanted to marry me and he was a bit obsessed but there was just no way his obsession had reached that level that he hired someone into my life.I froze as a realization set in me. If he planted Jake in my life then he must have told Lucas everything about me and he knew everything about me.Which was why he knew my favorite color of tulips before I told him, and also, the first time we met at the hike. Would that mean our encounter was intentional?Was that why he kept saying everything was a result of his hard work?Looking at it, wasn't it just a perfect work?He knew I'd fall in love with Jake, and that I'd be heartbroken when I found out he was cheating, but he must have known that was not enough to get me to come back home, so he brought my business down and made things easier for him he did wh

SOPHIAI tried to call my mom for the third time as I headed for the elevator, but she wasn't picking up.I hoped she was just in a meeting and that she was at the office. She had to be. Today was a weekday. I got into the elevator and got out when it stopped at the floor of her office.As I headed to her office I saw that her secretary was walking out of it. She looked surprised when she saw me. She gave me a slight bow, which I returned with a smile.“Is my mother in?“She shook her head.Oh, what perfect timing.“She's currently in a meeting.“She looked down at her watch. “She should be out in about ten minutes,”I nodded. “Then I'll wait for her inside,”She nodded and handed me the keycard. She gave one more bow and walked away.I smiled to myself as I headed for the door.I had less than ten minutes to find what I needed to find.I swiped the card on the reader, and the door unlocked, I pushed it open and walked in.It was just like the last time, I mean, I wasn't exactly expe

SOPHIAAs I got into the cab and he drove off, all I wanted to do was fall into Ryan's arms and cry my eyes out but then I remembered he was at work and the very last thing I wanted to do was bother him.I leaned my head on the door as the tears slid down.My head had started to hurt again, but I tried to ignore the pain.I replayed the conversation. Was it even a conversation? That I had with my mom. How could after everything I said, how could she still side with him?Was it still because of what she was getting from him, or was he actually threatening them? But what could he have against them? Was it the divorce? It couldn't be. People would still find out anyway.Was it something else? I never got to read what was in the other document. What was something my parents loved? Their company. It had to be something about that.Were they losing it? I haven't heard any news about that yet.My phone beeped with a new notification. I wiped my tears so I could see clearly, and I took a lo

SOPHIA My eyes fluttered open and they landed on the ceiling. I groaned as I felt my headache again. I tried to remember what happened and the memories of how I was at my mom's office, then coming home to see Ryan, him asking us to take a break, and then I lost consciousness. I looked around to see that I was in my room.I tried to sit up.How did I get here? Who brought me here? Was it Ryan?The door opened and I looked up expecting to see Ryan but I was a bit disappointed to see Zara instead. So it wasn't him.“Oh my gosh, you are awake!“ She exclaimed as soon as she saw me.I forced a smile. She immediately hugged me tightly, almost choking me.“Zara you are going to kill me,” I coughed.“Oh sorry,” She pulled away as she sat on the bed beside me. “I came a few hours ago, only to see you passed out on the floor. I was really scared,”“And I tried calling Ryan but he wasn't answering his calls. He's also not home,”Right. Because he's mad at me.Were we really going to do this a

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
