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

    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“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

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

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

    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

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

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.

    SOPHIA “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking." A voice broke through my deep train of thoughts. “We are currently descending and will be landing shortly. Please ensure your seatbelt is securely fastened and your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position." I pulled up the window blind and looked outside the plane. Under the clouds, the tall buildings in the city were now visible. This was it. I was back in California. I never thought I'd come back for anything. I left with that intention, but, I guess life has a way of humbling you. In my case, I was insanely—no, I was brutally humbled. I'd never wish what life did to me on anyone else, anyone except Jake and Naomi. I had been living the life people would die for. After graduating fashion school, I started my very own clothing line, and I had worked really hard and brought it to the top with blood, sweat, and tears. Well, my life had been going pretty fantastic until it all hit me like a

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.
