CHAPTER 151

Sophia’s POVAs I stood outside the grocery store, Troy's message still fresh in my mind, my hand trembled. I began to type a message to Daniel. Maybe he could have me picked up by a driver or he could book me a cab so I could get home faster. I didn't want to see Troy—didn't want to revisit the chaos he'd brought into my life. But then, before I could finish composing my message to Daniel, there he suddenly was, appearing out of nowhere like a specter from a troubled past.“What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice sharper than intended. “Are you following me? How did you find me?”“I have my ways,” he said mysteriously, frightening me. “I know where you live. I know where Reese goes to school. I know where you get your groceries. I know where you work…”His words gave me the chills. I could tell that he was satisfied to see the look of horror on my face. Troy shrugged nonchalantly. “We're family, Sophia. Family helps each other out.”I scoffed bitterly, despite being a little

CHAPTER 152

Sophia’s POVMy heart raced with worry and confusion. Elijah was the only one who could help me make sense of this. He had to know what Troy meant and what we could do about it. Late that afternoon, I decided to go to the hospital. Nevermind what I’ll see when I get there, I thought bitterly as I remembered how Elijah and Julia had seemed closer than friends the last time I saw them there. Reaching Julia’s hospital room, I was surprised to find it empty. It was a good thing when a nurse passed by. “Oh, you’re looking for the patient?” she asked. “Yes, I’m her friend. She’s with our other friend Elijah?”“Right,” the nurse said, recognition lighting up in her eyes. “That sweet boyfriend of hers who never leaves her side? They’re in the physical therapy room.”I frowned when I heard how she described Elijah. But I reminded myself that I was here for an important purpose. I needed to speak to Elijah, even if that meant finding out for certain if he and Julia were already a couple. Fo

CHAPTER 153

Sophia’s POVI raced down the hospital hallway, footsteps echoing in the sterile silence. My heart pounded, the words I'd overheard from Elijah echoing in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. Tears blurred my vision as I fled, anger and hurt mixing into a bitter cocktail. How could I still feel this way? I thought I'd moved on, convinced myself that Elijah was a closed chapter in my life. Yet, hearing his conversation with Julia tore open old wounds I thought had healed.I found solace in a quiet alcove, pressing my back against the cool wall. I can’t believe it, I thought with mixed emotions. Am I still craving for his genuine love, still hoping it’s going to come?Gathering my composure, I decided to check in on Grandma Evelyn. I took several deep breaths and began walking toward her hospital room. Since I was already here, it would be good to know about her progress from the doctors and nurses assigned to her. Approaching Evelyn's room, I caught sight of Chris's parents standing o

CHAPTER 154

Sophia’s POVThe hospital visit weighed heavily on my mind as I trudged back to my apartment. Chris's parents had made it abundantly clear that they still held me responsible for everything that had happened, and their harsh words replayed in my head like a broken record. I felt drained, both emotionally and physically, as I finally reached my door.As soon as I opened it, Reese came bounding toward me, her face lighting up with pure joy.“Mommy, you're home!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. She threw her little arms around my legs, and I bent down to scoop her up into a hug, feeling a warmth wash over me that I desperately needed.“Hey, sweetie,” I said, forcing a smile. “How was school today?”Reese wriggled out of my arms and ran to the small table in the living room where a colorful painting was spread out. She picked it up carefully and turned back to me, her smile wide and proud.“Look what I made!” she said, holding up the painting for me to see.I took a moment to admire he

CHAPTER 155

Elijah’s POVThe rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to match the steady hum of the air conditioning unit in the corner of the room. I leaned back on the plush, leather chair in the hospitality room, my eyes drifting over the stack of documents Connor had delivered earlier. This special section of the hospital was more like a high-end hotel than a medical facility, with its soft lighting, elegant furnishings, and the faint scent of lavender in the air. It was a testament to the power of connections and wealth, a privilege I’d rather not flaunt but often found necessary.Since I was no longer a patient in this hospital but I wanted to stay close to Julia so I could take care of her and assist in her recovery, I opted to stay in the hospitality wing for the time being. I tried to focus on the quarterly reports and merger proposals in front of me, but my thoughts kept wandering back to Julia. Her confession of love had taken me by surprise, and I couldn’t shake the image of

CHAPTER 156

Sophia’s POVI rushed through the hospital corridors, my heart pounding wildly. I whispered a little prayer of thanks to God that Reese hadn't ended up in the wrong hands. It was a parent's worst nightmare, the thought of losing sight of your child, even for a moment.I kept remembering how Reese had seemed so sad and disappointed when I’d told her that her dad wouldn’t be able to come. Perhaps I was wrong to assume that. I should have called Elijah and we could have avoided all this trouble. As I hurried to the hospitality wing of the hospital where Elijah had been staying recently, the surroundings began to change. It seemed like I’d been transported to a hotel. All this for Julia, I thought. He really used his connections to get a room here, and he’s sacrificing his business for her. Gosh, he must care about her that much!But then, I recalled their earlier conversation, the one that I’d overheard. Why did Elijah reject her when she confessed her love? Maybe he’s still confused

CHAPTER 157

Sophia’s POVFriday arrived faster than I expected. As I walked into the play school grounds, holding Reese's hand tightly in mine, I felt a blend of excitement and nervousness. Elijah was on Reese's other side, holding her hand too. It was surreal to see us like this, together, even if just for a moment. As we passed by a mirror in the hallway, I couldn't help but steal a glance at our reflection.We looked like a picture-perfect family—Reese, Elijah, and me. It touched something deep within me, stirring a bittersweet feeling. For a brief moment, it felt real, and that scared me. It wasn't reality. It was just a fleeting glimpse of what could have been.“Mommy, look! I drew this for you!” Reese exclaimed, pulling me out of my thoughts as she excitedly showed me her colorful drawing of our home that was displayed on a bulletin board.“It's beautiful, sweetheart,” I smiled, kneeling down to her level.Elijah stood beside us, smiling. “She's quite the artist, isn't she?” he remarked so

CHAPTER 158

Elijah’s POVI was stunned. But of course, it was a great opportunity that I would never pass up. Bringing back Sophia and our daughter Reese to my house would be a wonderful way to conclude such an amazing day. After all, the Family Day was a success beyond my expectations. Reese was still bubbling with excitement about her friends and the activities, and Sophia—Sophia was more relaxed and open than I'd seen her in a long time. We chatted effortlessly about the event, about Reese, about everything and nothing at all. It felt so natural and easy to be together. Back at my house, I offered to cook. Sophia's surprised look was priceless. “You cook?” she asked, a mix of disbelief and curiosity in her eyes.“Yeah,” I chuckled, a bit self-conscious. “I picked it up... well, after you left. I guess I had too much time on my hands.”There was a second of silence as we both remembered that painful part of our relationship. “You know, I always thought it was the house help doing all the coo

CHAPTER 159

Elijah’s POVSophia's words hung in the air like a thunderclap. “Troy may have something to do with what happened to you and Julia,” she repeated, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.I thought about what Troy had said to her. He could have been bluffing, but there could still be some truth there. “I’ll have to find out. We need to inform the investigators.”Before we could discuss further, a small whirlwind in the form of Reese rushed over to us, holding a handful of colorful drawings. “Look, look! I made these today!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.Sophia and I exchanged a glance, the gravity of our conversation momentarily forgotten. “These are great, Reese,” I said, taking one of the drawings and examining it. “You never fail to amaze us. And it seems that you just keep getting better!”Reese beamed with pride, then let out a big yawn. Sophia glanced at the clock and sighed. “We should get going. It's getting late. Thank you for dinner, Elijah.”“Of course,” I rep

CHAPTER 160

Elijah’s POVJulia’s been sending me messages yesterday and today, wondering where I had gone. I told her that I needed to attend to some important matters, but I didn’t specify what it was. I did not want to stress her out by saying that I’d gone to Reese’s school with Sophia after she just confessed her real feelings for me. So this afternoon, after dropping by the office to check on things, I went back to the hospital. The hallways seemed quieter than usual, which made me feel like I could hear myself think. I made my way to Julia's room, my mind preoccupied with the unexpected turn of events that had brought her back into my life.When I reached her door, I paused, taking a deep breath before pushing it open. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a sight I hadn't anticipated: a man standing beside Julia's bed, engaged in a low conversation with her.The man looked familiar, and it took me a moment to place him. His sharp features and confident stance sparked a memory—business ga
