Sophie’s pov ;

When Sir asked about the leaves, I froze.

"Sir, what did you say?" I tilted my head, trying to act nonchalant.

His sharp gaze landed on me. "Why are there a bunch of broken leaves in your pocket?"

My face instantly burned, and I scratched my cheek nervously. “That, that was…I tore them up for fun,” I stammered, avoiding his eyes.

Sir frowned, looking down at the handful of crushed leaves in his hand. His expression was unreadable, but the judgment in his eyes was clear. ‘While attending class, you can also play with leaves. Is she a college student or an elementary school student?’ I could practically hear his thoughts.

“Focus on the class and don’t do anything else,” he said curtly before pouring out all the leaves and tossing them in the trash.

I nodded, murmuring a shy, “Hmm.”

If Sir ever knew why I was messing with leaves—to see if they could somehow reveal his thoughts about me—I’d die of embarrassment. Why am I like this? Why do I care so much about what Sir think

    Simon’s pov ;I stared at the campus gates, fuming. The guard had embarrassed me—me, Simon—and all I could do was stand outside like an idiot."When did she become so fair and tender?" I muttered under my breath. The girl I glimpsed walking through the university gates couldn’t possibly be my sister. Sophie.She looked like someone out of a magazine. When did that brat grow into a beauty?I shook my head, sneering at myself. Focus, Simon.You didn’t come here to gawk at her. I had a job to do. Sneaking onto the campus was my only option, but that damned security booth wasn’t just decoration.“Stop! Where’s your student card?” the guard barked as I tried to slip through with a group of students.I laughed nervously, scratching the back of my head. “I forgot to bring it.”The guard didn’t even blink. “If you forget it, go back and get it! You won’t be allowed in without your card.”I was shoved out like I was nothing, left standing outside the gates with my fists clenched. That bastard.

    Rey’s pov ;I stared at my phone, gripping it so tightly my knuckles turned white. “Didn’t I tell you to take Sophie’s husband with you to the school to cause trouble?” I hissed into the receiver. My frustration bled through my voice. “What are you doing? Why haven’t I heard anything? Why is there no movement at the school?”Days. I’d waited for days. No news about Sophie being expelled, no rumors flying through the hallways. It was as if someone had stepped in, shielding her, erasing everything that should have ruined her.Who had that kind of power?On the other end of the line, her mother spoke in her shrill, irritating voice, “Miss, please wait a little longer. Her father and I are still figuring out what to do. That stubborn little bitch—she won’t listen to us. And I don’t know who’s backing her up, but she’s been acting strange. She doesn’t even seem scared anymore.”I clenched my jaw. Sophie, acting brave? That weak, timid girl who used to cower at the slightest threat? Now she

    Sophie’s pov ;I hadn’t been to Galaxy Hotel in days, but when I returned, the place was bustling with chatter. Rebecca was, as always, in the center of attention, basking in compliments.“Wow, Rebecca, you look so beautiful today. Are you going on a date with Christopher?” one of the girls teased.Rebecca gave a coy smile, flicking her hair like she was in a shampoo commercial. “No, don’t talk nonsense.”“Oh, you’re blushing! You must be dating Christopher. You’ve been AWOL for the past few days. If not Christopher, who else could it be?”Rebecca tried to play it down, but the smugness in her expression gave it all away. “Mr. Flensky doesn’t like being high-profile. Please keep it a secret for me, okay?”The room buzzed with excitement, everyone congratulating her, and Rebecca lapped it all up. I tried to slip past unnoticed, but Rebecca caught sight of me and decided to make me her next target.“Speaking of dates, Sophie was there too the other day,” she said, her voice dripping wit

    Dominic’s pov ;When my phone screen lit up during the meeting, my focus momentarily broke.Sophie’s name flashed on the caller ID.It wasn’t like her to call without reason. I raised my hand, silencing the room. The branch president, who had been reporting, immediately stopped talking as I answered the call."Sophie?" I spoke, but what followed wasn’t her voice—it was a man’s disgusting, rasping tone.“We can start setting up the marriage right away. I’ll be at the Majia warehouse in more than an hour. Don’t worry, this girl is intact. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”There was a pause, then a burst of laughter. “Hehe, you’re so lucky today! Be a good groom tonight, hahahaha.”My jaw clenched, a cold rage surging within me. Sophie was in trouble. The voice on the other end had said enough to make that clear. I remained silent, listening to every word. My hand reached for a notepad, and I scribbled a note.“Block all the roads leading out of London. Check surveillance near my house.

    Dominic’s pov ;I sat at my desk in the study, staring at the message on my phone. Sophie wanted to raise a cat.A cat.I could feel the familiar twinge in my sinuses just thinking about it. Allergies were one thing, but the idea of having an unpredictable animal roaming around the house was something else entirely. I couldn't afford such chaos.My life was structured and precise—two things that Sophie often disrupted, but in a way I didn’t mind.A cat, however, was non-negotiable.When she asked me again, her large, hopeful eyes fixed on me, I said, "No."Her expression fell instantly, and I almost regretted my tone. "Why?" she asked softly, her voice tinged with disappointment."I don’t like them," I lied, keeping my face impassive.Her pout deepened, and for a moment, she looked like she might argue.But then, in a rare show of restraint, she sighed and said, "Okay, then. I won't raise one."---Later that evening, my grandmother called. She rarely reached out unless it was about S

    Dominic’s pov ;The supermarket trip was a spontaneous decision.She wandered through the aisles with a kind of wonder that I couldn’t quite understand. It was just a supermarket, but for her, it seemed like something out of a storybook.I followed a step behind, watching as she examined every item carefully, her eyes lighting up when she found something she liked.“Sir, can we get this brand of cookies? I heard they taste amazing,” she asked, holding up a box.I barely glanced at it before taking the box from her hands and tossing it into the cart. “If you want it, we’ll get it.”Her lips curved into a smile, and I could tell she was trying to contain her excitement.We moved further down the aisle, and she paused in the toy section, her gaze locking onto a pink stuffed rabbit. She reached out to touch it, her fingers brushing over the soft fabric.“Sir, I want a stuffed toy. Just one, is that okay?”Her voice was soft, hesitant, as if she expected me to say no. I frowned. Why did sh

    Sophie’s pov ;The moment Jenna and I stepped into the small storage room, the soft cries of the mother cat greeted us.She was curled up in the corner, surrounded by tiny, wriggling kittens who hadn’t even opened their eyes yet.“Jenna, let’s be careful,” I said, crouching down. “We don’t want to startle her.”Jenna nodded, but she seemed more excited than cautious. “I’ll help make the milk powder for her.”I smiled at her thoughtfulness. “Okay, thank you, Jenna.”She waved it off with a grin. “Between us, what’s there to thank?”The mother cat looked exhausted, but her babies were nestled comfortably against her. Jenna leaned closer, reaching out toward one of the kittens, but I quickly stopped her.“Jenna, wait. We shouldn’t touch them yet.”Her brow furrowed. “Why not?”“If we get our scent on the kittens, the mother cat might think they’re not hers. She could stop feeding them.”Jenna’s eyes widened, and she pulled back immediately, clasping her hands behind her back. “Luckily, I

    Sophie’s pov ;I frowned slightly, staring at the man in front of me. “I don’t remember my number, sorry. Please let me go.”My tone was polite but firm, though I could feel the irritation bubbling just under the surface.Instead of being offended, he laughed. Not just a chuckle, but a hearty laugh like I’d just told the best joke in the world.“No way, Sophie. You’re such a great student—how could you not remember?”It was exhausting. “I’m going to eat. Please don’t disturb us.”Without waiting for his response, I grabbed Jenna’s arm and walked away, leaving Sam and his cronies behind.The cafeteria was noisy, the usual lunch chatter filling the air, but all I wanted was some quiet. I sat down, but as I stared at my plate, I realized my appetite had disappeared.Carolyn noticed immediately. “Sophie, you’re going to eat just this little and then stop? You’re not going to eat anymore?”I curled my lips in a half-smile. “I’ve lost my appetite because of that guy just now.”Jenna, always

    Brandon’s pov ;I stood in front of my father’s desk, clutching a stack of papers so tightly my knuckles turned white. My throat was dry, and my lips trembled as I tried to gather my words. I hadn’t slept in over twenty-four hours, but that wasn’t the reason for the exhaustion weighing me down. It was the discovery I’d made—one that turned my entire world upside down.“Dad,” I finally said, my voice hoarse as I handed him the documents. “You need to see this.”My father, Jason Carpenter, had been scolding me just moments ago for being absent during critical company decisions. Normally, I would’ve explained myself, but this time I didn’t care about the business. Not when something far more important had come to light.He frowned, clearly irritated by my silence, but he took the papers from me anyway. “What is this?” he asked, flipping through the pages.I didn’t answer immediately.

    Brandon’s pov ;I could feel the weight of the conversation with Ava pressing down on me as I walked away.My mind was racing, each new piece of information about Sophie sending my thoughts spiraling. The way Ava described her—her difficult family, the fact that she worked to make ends meet—it painted a picture I hadn’t fully realized until now.Sophie was struggling, yet she still managed to smile, to hold herself with such strength. It made me think back to everything I’d seen in her, every quiet moment she shared, every piece of her story that didn’t seem to quite fit.Her family didn’t treat her well, Ava had said. That sentence kept echoing in my mind. It was a painful reminder of the life Bella had left behind, the life she’d fought so hard to escape.And now, Sophie was in front of me, so similar to her in more ways than one, yet so different in others. She didn’t know who she truly was, didn’t know the depth of the blood running through her veins, and I couldn’t help but wonde

    Edwin’s pov ;I stared at myself in the mirror, adjusting my collar for the fifth time. Everything had to be perfect today. I’d been planning this for weeks—no more doubts, no more second-guessing.Today, I was going to confess to Sophie. I had everything ready. The flowers, the chocolates, the carefully chosen outfit.I wanted to look charming, rustic, just the right amount of down-to-earth. Nothing too fancy, nothing too flashy. Sophie wasn’t like that. She liked simplicity.I’d checked my appearance over and over again. Hair neat, shirt slightly wrinkled just enough to seem like I wasn’t trying too hard. Perfect. I gave myself a quick nod of approval and took a deep breath. This was it.Grandma had called earlier, reminding me to bring a girlfriend back with me. I could almost hear her voice: “When you’re free, come and see Grandma. It would be best if you could bring a girlfriend back.”

    Sophie’s pov ;Winning the title of campus belle of the University of Finance and Economics felt surreal. The ceremony was over, and as I stepped down from the stage, the buzz of excitement around me was overwhelming. My friends quickly surrounded me, all of them beaming with pride.Jenna was the first to congratulate me, practically jumping up and down. "Sophie, congratulations! I knew you could do it!"I couldn't help but smile, the sense of accomplishment filling me up. "Great, I got a bonus of 20,000 Pounds," I said, a little smugly. Money was real to me—it was something tangible, something I could actually use to ease the weight on my shoulders.Jenna grinned, teasing me, "You don’t care about the great honor, you only care about the bonus."I shrugged. "The money’s more important. I’ll take it over any false reputation any day."Yanran, always the proud one, added, "From today on, your name will be known throughout the university circles in London."I gave a small, indifferent s

    Dominic’s pov :I sat in the private VIP suite, my eyes fixed on the stage below. The woman I had expected to be waiting for was not the one drawing all the attention—no, it was her. Sophie.I had been on my way to a meeting overseas, but something made me change my mind at the last minute.I’d canceled everything, rushing to get here, just to watch a simple student competition. I knew I was obsessed with her, but this... this was different. It felt like fate."Good thing I arrived in time," I thought, my fingers tapping restlessly on the armrest. "Otherwise, I would have missed it."She appeared later than the others, almost as if the universe itself had conspired to make sure I wouldn’t miss the moment when she walked on that stage. It was like everything was falling into place.The lights dimmed as the music began to play, and suddenly, Sophie opened her mouth. Her voice—so pure, so angelic—poured over the audience like a soft rain, filling the space. The chatter in the room ceased

    Sophie’s pov ;The backstage was buzzing with nervous energy, and I could feel my heart racing. Everyone was busy running around, preparing for their moment in the spotlight. But for some reason, I couldn’t shake the tightness in my chest. Maybe it was because everything felt so out of my control.The makeup artist rushed over to me, her face filled with panic. "Every contestant is wearing heavy makeup, and all the cosmetics are used up. What should we do?" she said, her hands trembling as she looked at the empty makeup trays.I swallowed hard, not wanting to let the pressure get to me. "No need to worry. I can go on stage without makeup," I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt. I wasn’t nervous—I refused to be. But the situation was definitely not ideal.The makeup artist looked at me like I had just suggested I would walk on stage without clothes. "That’s not a good idea! The lighting on stage is harsh, and with

    Rey’s pov ;I couldn’t believe my luck. Of all the things I had planned, of all the precautions I had taken, this was what I ended up walking into.Amanda had assured me everything was in place, that Sophie would be eliminated in the first round, and I couldn’t afford any slip-ups. With connections from both the Gu family and the Carpenter family among the judges, Sophie’s defeat was practically guaranteed.It was supposed to be foolproof. Sophie was nothing. A nobody. But if she managed to sneak through—if that bitch somehow advanced—everything I had worked for would crumble. The Carpenter family’s precious daughter, the one they had been obsessing over for years, would be found. And then, Sophie would be everywhere. In the media, on the news, in public—and I couldn’t let that happen.I left Amanda to take care of things, heading toward the audience. I had to get out of the back, away from all the cha

    Sophie’s pov ;The contest day~~I couldn’t help but smile at the advice Jenna and Carolyn gave me. "Treat everyone as cabbages," they said.Sure, that was supposed to help me not get nervous. But I wasn’t really all that nervous to begin with. I mean, what was there to be nervous about? It was just a competition.Jenna was right, though. She was more nervous for me than I was for myself. “After all, this is your first time participating in such a big competition, so of course I am nervous for you,” she said with a soft smile.I appreciated it, but I didn’t feel the same way. The prize money was all that mattered to me; winning wasn’t some big milestone.Carolyn leaned in and whispered, “I heard that Senior Amanda is here too.”I instantly stiffened at the name. “Which Senior Amanda?” I asked, though I already knew who she meant.“It’s Amanda, Senior
