Chapter 11: The Scandal

Sophia's face blushed as she explained, “Well, we both needed each other's help so we made a deal.” She saw the worry etched on her friend's face and quickly explained what happened before adding. “Don't worry, Alexander might be cold but he has been nothing but nice to me. He is a good man.”Amelia's face softened again; she grinned at her, “Hey girl, why are you so lucky? He must be a big shot the way you described him and his house.” She added winking at her, “Tell me, is he handsome? The way I see your face, you must have already fallen for him.”Sophia's face blushed deeper and she couldn't believe her friend. She defended herself, “I'm not, and stop it, Amelia. I'm not telling you more, you better give up.”Amelia mock-sighed, crossing her arms. “Fine. Keep your secrets. But you know I’m dying over here, right?”Sophia chuckled, taking a sip of her coffee just as the entrance bell chimed. Her gaze flicked up casually and immediately froze. Entering the cafe, with the haughty gra

chapter 13: The Masked Hero

But before they could flood him with more questions, Marcus turned back to his car, cursing. He shut the door with a slam and sped away, his face tense and brooding.Inside the Rolls Royce, Sophia turned to her rescuer, her voice soft and tentative. “Thank you… Mr. Evans,” she said, unsure of how to address him.“Alexander,” he corrected her coolly, his gaze fixed ahead. “Just Alexander.”She nodded, her cheeks warming under the intensity of his presence. She’d known he was a powerful man, but sitting here beside him, she could feel the weight of that power in the air. There was an edge to his silence, a sense of control that made her feel both safe and unsettled.Then, his voice cut through the quiet, startling her. “Who am I to you, Sophia?”She blinked, caught off guard. “Um… my husband,” she replied, the words awkward on her lips.“Then why didn’t you call me when you needed help?” His tone was calm, but there was an undercurrent of reprimand that made her shrink slightly.“I didn

Chapter 14: Fierce Competition

One comment after another showed a wave of public support for Sophia. People sympathized with her and were appalled by the Hawthornes’ behavior. The Hawthorne company’s stock plummeted as investors and the public alike turned their backs on the scandal-ridden siblings. *** In his study, Raphael Hawthorne was nearly shaking with rage as he read through the flood of articles and comments. “What a disgrace!” he growled, slamming his fist on the table. His calloused knuckles turned white with tension. “I won’t have the Hawthorne name dragged through the mud like this.” He turned, barking orders at his assistant. “Get Marcus and Lauren here. Now.” As if remembering something, he asked, “Has Pablo arrived from his trip?” “Mr Hawthorne will be arriving soon Sir.” The butler replied. “Let him see me immediately. I want him to take care of his children's mess.” He commanded.*** Meanwhile, back at Valmere, Sophia was scrolling through her phone, her heart racing as she saw the outpou

Chapter 15: Please Forgive Us

The male doctor smirked, his expression uncaring. “This is the best hospital in the city for surgeries. Your mother has overstayed her welcome.”Sophia’s blood boiled at the callousness in their voices. She stepped forward, her eyes blazing. “What’s going on here?” she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady. “Why are you chasing my mom out?”The nurse scoffed. “Your mother has been here long enough. She needs to leave.”“This is a hospital where patients should stay as long as they pay their bills. As far as I know, we've been paying our bills as required. What right do you have to chase us out?” Sophia challenged.The nurse was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to retort. The male doctor chimed in, “Look, miss, we have rules here, and as the best hospital for surgeries in the city, we can't allow patients to stay over a month. What will happen to other patients lining up for surgeries too?” He sounded so righteous and Sophia couldn't believe it.“It is also stipulated by the same

Chapter 16: Just A Friend

Sophia exhaled deeply, feeling the weight of her mother’s question settle over her. Catherine’s tired yet penetrating gaze bore into her as if peeling away her attempts to be vague. She wanted to keep the details about Alexander private for now because she hardly knew if he was trustworthy herself. But her mother knew her too well; there was no escaping.Her voice softened. “Mom, I... It's just a friend,” she began, choosing her words carefully, her tone measured. “A good friend who helped me.”Catherine’s brows knitted together in that familiar, knowing way, even in her weakened state. “A friend who’s done so much? Come on, Sophia. Tell me, is it a man?”Sophia flushed, quickly averting her gaze. Ethan, catching his sister’s discomfort, chimed in. “Mom, let’s just trust Soph, okay? Besides, anything’s better than being tied to that scumbag Marcus and his family”Sophia shot him a grateful look, appreciating the lifeline. She knew her family’s love was deep, even if they didn’t know t

Chapter 17: Sweet Retaliation

“What guy, Marcus?” Lauren asked, raising an eyebrow.Marcus’s face twisted with frustration. “I don’t know. I’ve been trying to force Sophia back on my terms, but somehow, someone keeps getting in my way.”Evelyn’s gaze softened slightly with pity. “Marcus, you were her husband. Although I don't know why Dad insists you get her back, it shouldn’t be that hard for you. But whoever is helping her must have significant influence if they can act so quickly. And that is if it's the same person”Lauren rolled her eyes, her tone mocking. “Please. Vision Care is one of the most reputable hospitals in the country. They wouldn’t let anyone ruin their reputation. We were just unlucky, that’s all.”Marcus’s shoulders relaxed, but there was a flicker of something unsettling in his gaze. “But why is Sophia always this lucky?” He shook his head, deep in thought. This was my opportunity to force her back and she just got lucky?Evelyn interrupted his thoughts with a wry smile and her tone dripped wi

Chapter 18: You are still mine

“Marcus, what do you want?” Her tone was guarded, clipped.“Sophia, please stop ignoring me,” Marcus’s voice was pleading, and his desperation was evident. “I… I need to talk to you. I can’t stop thinking about what we had. Can’t we… can’t we try again?”Sophia’s fingers tightened around the phone. “We’re already done, Marcus. You know that.”He tried again, his voice growing even more insistent. “Sophia, I’m willing to give you anything you want. I’ll change, I swear. Grandpa even agreed to give you shares in the company if you’ll just…”“I’m not interested,” she interrupted with disdain in her voice. “You could offer me your entire company, and it wouldn’t make a difference.”There was a pause, and then Marcus’s voice softened. “Please, Sophia. Just… can we at least meet and talk? I’ll do anything.”She was about to reject the suggestion when Alexander gave a curt nod, indicating that she should agree.Sophia was shocked but complied, “Fine,” she replied, resigned. “Where?”Marcus’s

Chapter 19: You Cannot do it

Alexander helped Sophia into his car, his arms wrapped protectively around her as he guided her gently into the seat. She leaned against him, her fingers drifting over his chest. The drug's effect had taken full hold now; her gaze was unfocused, her eyes glazed with a yearning she couldn’t seem to control. "Alexander… please, I feel so hot…" she whispered breathily, looking up at him with a longing that made her reach up to touch his face, her fingers tracing his jawline. A soft murmur escaped her lips, her face drawing closer. "Help me… please."He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he fought his own desire. Her touch was electric, sending a shiver down his spine, but he knew her state. He couldn’t take advantage of her, no matter how tempting it was.The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, catching sight of Sophia pressing herself against his boss, whispering incoherently as she kissed his neck. Alexander shot a sharp glare toward him, catching his eyes. "One more look a

Chapter 20: You Offended Someone Powerful

Sophia blinked slowly, adjusting to the soft light filtering into the room. She felt the unfamiliar comfort of the bed beneath her and noted the elegant ceiling with its polished chandelier, far too refined for her usual surroundings. Sunlight slipped through sheer curtains, casting delicate patterns across the floor. Her heart pounded as she took in her surroundings, trying to piece together how she’d ended up here. Memories from the previous night were foggy, just flashes at best.A note on the bedside table caught her eye. Reaching over, her hand shook slightly as she picked it up. The handwriting was cold, detached, yet unmistakably his.“Sorry for putting you in danger. I'll make them pay heavily.”“Your breakfast will be ready when you wake up. The car will be waiting outside.”It was Alexander’s writing. She smiled at first, but then, a rush of memories struck like lightning, freezing her expression. Fragmented memories began to surface: going with Alexander to meet his client,
