1 The fallout

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

2 The first chapter

RYAN “That's all for today. It's a free day again." Narin, my personal assistant said as she pushed the chair backward and got on her feet. “Thank you, Narin. Inform the team working on the new game to get ready for the briefing tomorrow before lunch,” I said and closed the document, then stretched it out to her. She reached for it with a polite smile. “Yes sir. Should I get the car ready?“ I nodded. “Please do” She was out in a few seconds, and I pushed back my chair and got on my feet. I exhaled as I stood in front of the glass wall, staring at the beautiful view my office was opened to. After a few moments of silently basking in the beauty of the city, I grabbed my suit and phone and headed out of my office. An hour later... "Oh, look who's here again." My mom exclaimed as soon as I walked into my parent's living room. I smiled and walked up to her to give her a hug. “Where's dad?“ “He's having lunch with Mr. Adams,” she replied as she picked up the TV remote control. At

3 Ambivalence

SOPHIA Ryan Caddel was equally as surprised to see me as I was. Was this Zara's role play? Wait, but wasn't it normal that her brother came to visit her? Maybe I should have just stayed at a hotel. The thought crossed my mind again as I stared at the man standing before me. Nothing changed. Or maybe it did. I would not deny that I hadn't looked at his pictures a few times after I moved away. His rich black hair fell carelessly over his face, framing them so beautifully. After what happened 8 years ago, it should be a crime that he still makes my stomach twist in weird ways and that I still find him attractive. “Sophia?“ He called, his voice sounding a bit rough and unsure. “When did you come back?“ He asked. And then it all came pouring in. Why was I feeling suddenly nervous? I hate him, right? Right. I called things off. I'm supposed to hate him. My expression hardened, and I turned to walk back in, leaving his question hanging. “Zara, you have a guest,” I called out loudly.

4 How much longer?

SOPHIA His eyes circled my face, lingering on the tears sliding down my cheeks. The look in his eyes softened as he searched my eyes for answers. “Sophia, is someone after you?“ He asked slowly, his voice a deep, rich baritone that made my insides twist in a way I hated but couldn't help. I watched his eyes dart from my face to behind me as if looking for who I was running from. I came back to my senses immediately and pulled away from him, almost slipping, if not for his quick reflex to hold my hands. I slipped my hands out of his grip before I'd do anything stupid. I didn't want Mom to see him with him. She's never been an actual fan of him, even when we dated. 'Wait, was I trying to protect him from her now? I don't care if they meet again. Ryan and I are nothing more than strangers right now.' I subtly- not so subtly, wiped the tears away from my cheeks and looked up at Ryan with a wide fake smile. His eyes narrowed in confusion for a split second before realization set in
