CHAPTER 241

Sophia’s POV“Daniel, it’s not what it looks like—” I tried to say. “Not what it looks like?” Daniel cut me off, his frustration palpable. “He’s on your couch! And he reeks of alcohol! How could you let him stay here, Sophia? What will you tell Reese when she finds out?”Elijah stood up slowly, his movements deliberate despite his disheveled appearance. “Hey,” he said in a sharp tone. “There’s no need to speak like that to Sophia. It was me who came here drunk, I admit. I was desperate to talk to her, and I just fell asleep here. So what? This isn’t your house! You can’t tell Sophia what to do!”I stepped between them, trying to defuse the situation. “Please, let’s all just calm down and talk about this.”Daniel took a deep breath, running a hand through his hair and putting down the breakfast he had brought. “I think it’s best that you go now, Elijah. Do you really want your daughter to see you like that?”“What right do you have, huh?” Elijah suddenly shouted at him, looking fully

CHAPTER 242

Sophia’s POV“Hey, sweetie,” I said, trying to sound jolly despite the blaze of emotions inside me. I forced a smile, my heart aching as I saw Reese standing in the doorway, her small face a mixture of fear and confusion. I quickly moved to her side and wrapped her in a comforting hug. “Daddy and Uncle Elijah are just really excited about an action movie they watched. They’re acting out some of their favorite scenes, and they got a little carried away.”Reese looked up at me, her wide eyes not fully convinced. Her gaze shifted back to Elijah and Daniel, and I could tell she was still unsure about the situation. I squeezed her a little tighter, willing her to feel safe despite everything. Elijah approached and gently pulled Reese into a hug. “Hey, pumpkin,” he said softly, his voice warm and filled with genuine affection. “I missed you.”I let him hold her, seeing the happiness in her eyes as she clung to her daddy. It was hard not to let my emotions show as I watched the brief, tend

CHAPTER 243

Elijah’s POVI was in the middle of reviewing some proposals with Trevis at the Urban Next office when the door swung open, and Sophia walked in. She looked shaken but was trying to put on a brave face. Her usual calm demeanor was replaced with a slight tremor in her hands and a forced smile.“Hey, Elijah. Hi, Trevis,” she greeted us, her voice slightly wavering.“Hi, Sophia,” Trevis responded, barely glancing up from his laptop. I, on the other hand, couldn't tear my eyes away from her. Something was definitely off.“Everything okay, Sophia?” I asked, trying to keep my voice casual.“Yeah, just a busy morning,” she replied quickly, but her eyes betrayed her.I decided not to press further in front of Trevis. “Alright, well, if you need anything, you know where to find us.”She nodded and hurried off to her office. I watched her retreating figure, my concern growing with every step she took.“Trevis, I'll be right back,” I said, standing up.“Sure thing,” he muttered, still engrossed

CHAPTER 244

Elijah’s POVAs we sat in that cafe which was barely illuminated, we began to feel the situation’s intensity heightening. Troy’s plan to bribe Henry’s men felt like a desperate move. But more than that, I felt like he could just be fooling us again. “Are you sure about this?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at Troy.He nodded, looking more resolute than I’d ever seen him. “It’s our best shot. Trust me.”Just as we were about to delve deeper into the plan, Troy’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and went pale. “It’s my mother,” he said, answering the call. “Mother?”I could hear her frantic, terrified voice on the other end. “Troy! Help me, come quick!”His face drained of color, and he stood up abruptly. “We need to go. Now.”Sophia and I exchanged a quick, concerned glance, then followed Troy out of the café. We drove as fast as we could to his house, my thoughts spinning with all the worst-case scenarios.When we arrived, Brenda was sitting on the front steps, clutching the side of

CHAPTER 245

Henry’s POVI watched the gentle sway of the yacht from where I sat inside, the faint creak of the vessel almost soothing against my frazzled nerves. The only light in the small cabin came from the smoldering end of my cigarette, the embers casting a dull orange glow that danced across the wooden walls.My fingers drummed restlessly against the polished mahogany table, the rhythmic taps barely masking the anxiety that gnawed at my insides.“Julia, I'm so sorry,” I whispered into the void, my voice barely audible over the lapping waves outside. “I can’t be with you now, but I have to plan this well so we can both be free.”I drew in a deep breath, the smoke filling my lungs as if it might somehow clear away the weight of the situation. I knew every day that passed without being able to help her made it harder. The walls of this yacht felt like a cage of their own, despite its opulence. The comfort of the surroundings did little to ease the turmoil inside me.Just as I was about to tak

CHAPTER 246

Henry’s POVI closed my eyes, trying to push away the haze of my current predicament, as I recalled various incidents in my childhood when I had to protect Julia. In my mind, I could picture the house where we both grew up. Julia was only eight years old then, a tiny figure dwarfed by the expanse of our family’s opulent home. I remembered walking into the living room just as she stood frozen beside the shards of a broken vase.The vase, an heirloom of sorts, lay in jagged pieces on the marble floor. The room was eerily silent, save for the ticking of the grandfather clock.Our mother’s footsteps echoed from the hallway, each step growing louder, more menacing. I could hear the tension in her stride, the anger crackling like static in the air. Julia’s face was a mask of fear, her small hands trembling as she tried to gather the pieces, each fragment a reminder of her mistake. I knew the punishment would be harsh, and my heart ached at the thought of her suffering.I stepped forward, u

CHAPTER 247

Elijah’s POVI froze as Sophia’s scream pierced the afternoon heat, blending with the thundering sound of a gunshot. The shot missed Sophia but struck the window, causing the glass to explode into a shower of shards. “Sophia! No!” I yelled as I sprang into action, yanking Sophia to safety upon seeing the gun leveled at her, readying for another shot.Inside, chaos erupted as more heads turned. I could hear the sound of shouting voices and scurrying footsteps. “Run!” I shouted, grabbing Sophia and leading her away from the building. She stumbled but managed to keep up as we sprinted down the overgrown path. The sound of gunshots echoed behind us, sharp and jarring. Branches clawed at our clothes as we tore through the underbrush. I glanced back to see flashes of gunfire streaking through the dense foliage, and my pulse quickened. Every instinct screamed at me to keep moving, to get us out of there before we became sure targets.As we neared the car, a man suddenly emerged from behi

CHAPTER 248

Daniel’s POVI hadn't slept well the past few nights. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Sophia's face, tinged with that faint sadness, kept appearing in my head. The text she sent—"It's fine, just busy lately"—felt like a dismissal, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had messed things up beyond repair. It had been three days since our encounter at her place, and I was desperate to make things right.Today, I was at the development site, pacing around the place as if that would make time pass faster. We’re supposed to have a meeting here today, and I really hope she shows up and things get back to normal between us. When Sophia finally walked through the gate, my heart skipped a beat. Her presence triggered an electric charge inside me. I tried to calm my nerves, but seeing her standing there, with her hair falling perfectly over her shoulders and that confident stride of hers, made it hard to concentrate.“Hi, Daniel,” she said, offering a polite but reserved smile.“H

CHAPTER 249

Sophia’s POVI felt like I was on top of the world as I walked through the swanky hotel, my eyes ogling at the sleek presentation boards and interactive displays sprinkled all over the main function hall. Being part of the International Architecture and Design Conference in New York was certainly a dream come true for me!Everywhere I looked, the room was bustling with innovative ideas and creative energy from professionals all over the world.I eagerly mingled with other attendees, soaking in the wealth of knowledge and fresh perspectives. Each session offered something new, and I found myself inspired by the groundbreaking projects and cutting-edge techniques being discussed.It’s a shame Trevis couldn’t make it at the last minute, I thought sadly. He would have loved everything here! I do hope he feels better soon. During one of the sessions, a coordinator unexpectedly approached me with a request that both flattered and unnerved me. “Ms. Sophia Bennett? One of our panelists can't

CHAPTER 250

Sophia’s POVI checked my reflection in the mirror, feeling giddy with excitement. Yet I felt on edge at the same time. It had been ages since I'd dressed up like this. The deep emerald gown hugged my figure perfectly, accentuating my curves and making my green eyes pop. Tonight was the gala night for the conference, and I wanted to make a good impression.A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I walked over, my heart racing a little faster than usual. When I opened the door, my breath caught in my throat. There stood Elijah, looking as handsome and dashing as ever in his perfectly tailored suit. His eyes widened as he took in my appearance, and I could see genuine admiration in his gaze.“Sophia,” he blurted out, his voice full of awe. “You look absolutely gorgeous.”I felt a blush creep up my cheeks, suddenly self-conscious under his intense stare. “Thank you, Elijah,” I replied softly, trying to calm my racing heart.For a moment, we just stood there, taking in the sight of
