All Chapters of The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

SOPHIA A week later…“So will you tell me about this movie we are going to watch?“ I asked Ryan a few minutes into the ride. He cast me a glance, a smile on his face.“It's the sequel to one of your favorite movies. The Past Redemption“I faked a smile just so he wouldn't see that it didn't really make me feel better.“Really? That's great,” I replied.“You certainly do not sound as excited as I imagined,” he muttered. “I am. I'm just still feeling it a bit from the accident, “ I lied.That was totally not it. I wasn't excited and it wasn't because of the accident, but rather what happened after that with Ryan.The look on his face before he left with his blood-stained lips has haunted me every night for the past seven days.I should move on now because he hurt me and I might have made it even, but I just couldn't find it in myself to do so.“Do you want to go back home?““Of course not. I'm looking forward to the movie,”He nodded and I forced a smile then turned away from him.Luc

SOPHIAI pulled away from him and wiped my tears.“You came. You were worried about me,” he said softly. I met his gaze again, tears streamed down my face. “When have I never been?“ I whispered. He carefully dropped the clothes on the table and held my hands, looking down at me in desperation and hope.“Is there a way to unuse my favor card? Don't get married to him, please. I won't be able to survive if you do,”I shook my head. “I know it took me too long to admit and tell you this, but…”“I love you so much, Ryan.““And it's such a beautiful thing that I can love you this much for this long,” “If it's not with you, I don't want it,”“I don't want to get married to Lucas or anyone that's not you,”He had a smile on his face as he raised his right hand to wipe my tears. I touched his hand.“What do you want?“I sniffed in my tears.I didn't care that I probably looked horrible with tears running down my cheeks, what mattered was I was with Ryan now and neither of us was fighting it

SOPHIA“Ryan said you are working in his company,” Ryan's mother said as she dropped the cooking spoon on the counter.I nodded. “As a character designer. At least I can put my hobby to work there,”She nodded. “Do you like it there?“I smiled as I placed my hands over the knife and pushed it down through the carrots.“Of course. I have a wonderful team and a wonderful boss, and the work is-”“Fun,”She came to stand beside me and took the knife from me. “I can do it,” I tried to insist but she just smiled and continued to cut it.“What I'm asking is if you like the work, character...“ She trailed off. “Character designer,” I completed. She nodded. “What about being a fashion designer? Don't you want to try doing that again?“I sighed.I wanted to. In fact, over the night I thought about how much I loved working as a fashion designer. If there was a way my name could magically be cleared of all the allegations and stigma, I'd not hesitate to go back to that work.“I want to, but th

SOPHIA I replayed the look on his face just as I said those words to Lucas. He didn't look as hurt as I thought. It was more of anger and frustration. If he reacted this way, then how would my parents?No, I needed to put my parents aside for now. If I could just get him to agree with him we didn't need their opinion to annul the contract.I immediately got on my feet and wiped my tears. I slipped into my footwear and rushed out of the house to see if I could catch up with him.One more time. I'd try to convince him calmly this time around. What was the probability that he'd have a change of mind like Adriana did?As the elevator began to move, I recalled Ryan's words the night we were in his house.He had said we would talk to him together. Should I not have told Lucas yet?It was too late to ask myself that question, alright. The deed had already been done.Thankfully, Lucas was just heading to his car when I got to the parking space. I ran up to him and held him just before he cou

SOPHIAI sat at the table with Ryan as we ate dinner. It was rather quiet with both of us not saying a word. After the little argument that we had, it's been awfully quiet, and I felt awful, too.I mean, I was at fault. He clearly said we would talk to him together, but I went ahead to do it alone. I was sure he must be trying to keep himself from blaming me for signing the contract because he didn't want to make me feel bad.He said he wanted our children to have my charming personality, yeah no, I don't want them to grow up and then make stupid decisions like me that would hurt people around them, and the one they love, the most. How would I put down my words now? I was the one who got us into this mess after all.We finished dinner, and I volunteered to clear the dishes since he was the one who made dinner, but he refused, claiming that I needed to rest after everything that had happened today. He was right, though. I was feeling beat already, so I didn't argue with him after the
