CHAPTER 41

Sophia’s POVThe meeting ended, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't hide my disappointment. I managed to keep a smile on my face, but inside, I felt crushed. I ignored the sight of Julia basking in their victory, focusing only on the need to retreat to my small office and be alone.Elijah’s eyes shifted to me, and it seemed like his gaze meant to tell me something. I hurried away quickly, not caring to find out. As I entered my office, I hoped to find solace in solitude, but my wish was not granted. Serena followed me in, ignoring my request to leave. She locked the door behind her and sat down on the couch, looking at me expectantly.“What do you want, Serena?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.“Well, do you know why Elijah chose Julia’s design over yours?” she asked straightaway, her eyebrows furrowing. She seemed greatly bothered by this, and I silently wondered why she wasn’t celebrating with them instead. “I’m not interested to know why,” was all I answered as I turn

CHAPTER 42

Elijah's POVKnowing that Sophia was working in the same building where I was, every single day, drove me crazy. I often found myself glancing around in the lobby, in the elevator, in the hallways… always searching for her, hoping to catch a glimpse. Today, Trevis and I had a meeting. Finally, I had good reason to go to Urban Next Design Studio. At first, I didn’t see Sophia anywhere. Then after the meeting, my heart went crazy when I saw that her office door was ajar. Taking a quick peek inside, my heart dropped. There she was, closely sitting together and poring over some designs, even whispering to each other. Sometimes she would giggle, oblivious to my presence.That architect even had the nerve to put his arm around her and rub her back!It was all I could do not to pull him away from her and punch him in the nose. I shook my head as I tried to control the anger that threatened to consume me. “What’s happening to me?” I asked myself as I went back to the top floor and closed th

CHAPTER 43

Julia’s POVI’ve always told Chris no, that I didn’t want that DNA test. I’m not interested in finding out what life I had before I went missing as a child. And I don’t care about going back to the Bakers. This is my life now, and I’m happy and content where I am. I don’t want to complicate things. Every time Chris had visited me in the past, he would always mention new things about their family. He revealed their wealth, but that wasn’t enough to allure me back. My parents had the same kind of wealth, and they had always given me what I wanted ever since I’d been adopted. I’m lucky to have rich and good parents now. How can I be sure that the Bakers will treat me the same? It might not be good to open up the past again. But these were my sentiments before I’d met Elijah Sinclair and found out that he was deeply connected to Sabrina Baker. I remembered looking up into his eyes that first time at the restaurant and hearing his deep, velvety voice, feeling it roll across my skin an

CHAPTER 44

Elijah’s POV“Sabrina…” I whispered as I sat in my large, mahogany-clad office, my gaze fixed on a very old photo I held in my hand. A wave of nostalgia washed over me. The photo captured a moment frozen in time, one of laughter and innocence, with Sabrina's bright smile lighting up the frame. A tinge of guilt spread throughout my chest as I thought about all the years I had failed her because I was never able to find her, even when I had all the money in the world. A series of knocks interrupted my thoughts, followed by the door swinging open to reveal two familiar faces—Chris and Trevis, my closest friends. “Morning, Elijah,” Chris greeted me, his eyes twinkling with excitement. “I've got some news for you.”I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What's up?”“I got the results of the DNA test,” Chris began, grinning widely. “And it turns out that Julia is actually Sabrina! Can you believe it? After all these years, we now have her back!”I wasn’t that shocked, but I couldn’t understand

CHAPTER 45

Sophia’s POVI took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. My heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floor of the Urban Next office, echoing my determination. This is it. I have to do the right thing, no matter the consequences. As I approached Trevis's office, I squared my shoulders.“Ms. Bennett,” his assistant greeted me with a nod, recognizing the resolve in my eyes. She signaled for me to enter.“Trevis,” I said, stepping inside and closing the door behind me. The owner of Urban Next looked up from his desk, surprise flickering across his face at my abrupt entrance.“Sophia,” he replied, leaning back in his chair. “To what do I owe this unexpected visit?”“I need to talk to you about the new project assigned to Julia.”His brows knitted together in confusion. “I know you were disappointed that your proposal wasn’t chosen, but I also thought you'd be pleased for her. You've always had a good relationship with Julia.”“That's exactly the problem,” I said, my

CHAPTER 46

Sophia’s POVI stormed out of Urban Next, greatly pissed off at Elijah. My mind raced, a tangle of frustration and disbelief. How could he be so blind?“Sophia, wait!” Elijah's voice rang out behind me, his footsteps pounding against the floor as he caught up with me in the hallway. I didn't slow down.“Sophia,” he repeated, more urgent now, grabbing my arm gently. “Please, just listen. Julia—or Sabrina—she's been my friend since we were kids. I know her well enough to know she wouldn't do something like this.”I turned sharply, yanking my arm free. “Of course, you do. Because Julia's Sabrina, right? And you're always right about everything.” My voice dripped with sarcasm. “But let me tell you something, Elijah. You're being quite unfair. These people that you choose to trust may have no credibility at all.”He looked genuinely baffled and taken aback. “What do you mean?”I scoffed, crossing my arms. “You also studied design, didn't you? Surely you can see the similarities in our work

CHAPTER 47

Elijah’s POVI stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office on the top floor, looking down at the park below where several kids were playing happily. It reminded me of when things were so simple and I could just be happy and carefree with Sabrina. Sighing, I sank back into my leather executive chair and let it swivel as my thoughts went back to my conversation with Sophia. Immediately, I called my assistant Connor to my office. “Connor, I need you to look into Craig. Something about him doesn’t sit right with me,” I said, getting straight to the point.“Of course. I’ll get on it immediately,” Connor replied without hesitation. That’s one of the reasons I valued him so much. He never questioned my instincts.“And there’s something else,” I continued, glancing at the clock on my desk. “I need you to get a copy of Julia and Sophia’s design from Trevis. I want to review them closely.”“Understood. I’ll have it to you by the end of the day,” Connor promised.“Thanks. I appreciate

CHAPTER 48

Elijah’s POVI froze. Now I’m going to find out if Reese’s mother is Sophia…My heart raced as I turned slowly, scanning the area, half-expecting to see Sophia's familiar face rushing toward us. Instead, I saw the woman from the restaurant, the same one who had been with the little girl. My face fell. I was greatly disappointed. I don't know why, but I always thought it would be Sophia. Maybe it’s because Reese looked so much like her, but it was probably just a coincidence. The woman hurried over, her eyes filled with concern. Reese's little arms wrapped around my neck in a tight hug. “Take care of the little one,” I told the mom. “I think she was lost earlier, so I stayed with her.”“Thank you,” she said, almost breathlessly. She hoisted Reese onto her hip and began to walk away, clearly in a hurry.As they moved further away, I overheard her soft voice ask Reese, “Where's Dan?”The question stopped me in my tracks. Dan? Who was Dan?“I talked to your Uncle Dan,” I heard the woma

CHAPTER 49

Sophia’s POV I leaned against the old oak tree, my breath catching in my throat as I remembered watching Reese play at the park with none other than Elijah! It had definitely been a shock to me, and panic had immediately gripped my heart. Elijah's laughter had filled the air, mingling with Reese's giggles. Seeing him then, so patient and kind with Reese, stirred something deep within me. Should I tell him the truth? It was what had gone through my head in that instance. Should I let him know that the little girl he’s playing with is actually his own flesh and blood? Suddenly, my phone rang, jarring me from my thoughts. “Hello?” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “Sophia, thank God,” Daniel's voice was tight with concern. “Where's Reese? Is she with you now?” “Yes, she's right here,” I assured him quickly, as I smiled down at Reese who was resting on the grass beside me. “I asked the nanny's sister to find her and play the role of her mother, since you know I can’t risk Eli

CHAPTER 50

Sophia’s POV I held my breath, wide-eyed, as I listened to Elijah. He didn’t even glance at me, but was looking straight at Morgana. “Even though you initiated this project, this company is still mine. I have the right to choose my own designers.” The tension in the air just escalated even more. Morgana suddenly looked flustered. “I’m sorry, but I just remembered I have something urgent to take care of,” she said, standing abruptly. As she left, she called Julia, who had been sitting quietly, observing. Julia’s eyes flicked from Morgana to Elijah, and I saw a hint of anger and pain that she seemed to be holding back. After all, Elijah was now saying that he was choosing my work after having declared at the meeting that he’d decided to use Julia’s proposal over mine. “Excuse me, Elijah,” Julia said softly, standing up and giving him a nod. “I need to go, too.” Elijah didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on the papers in front of him, but I noticed a flicker of something in his express
