Chapter 31: Why Are You Here

Before Sophia could stammer a reply, Ethan chimed in. “Yeah, Soph. Spill the beans. Mom’s been dying to know.”Before she could respond, a knock at the door saved her.“Are you expecting someone?” Catherine asked.Sophia shook her head. She jumped up, grateful for the distraction.“I’ll get it,” she said quickly, practically sprinting to the door.When she opened it, her heart stopped. There stood Alexander, his tall frame and sharp features impossible to miss.“Alexander?” she blurted. “What are you doing here?”“Am I not welcome?” he asked, his tone laced with amusement.She forced a smile. “Of course, you are.”He stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, his confident air filling the room instantly. Sophia’s chest tightened as her family turned to face him.“I came to see your mother and wish her a speedy recovery,” Alexander said smoothly, turning to Catherine with a polite smile. “Mrs. Blackwell, I’m Alexander Evans. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”Catherine, surprised, re

Chapter 32: Job Offer

Catherine adjusted herself on the couch, her eyes briefly scanning the room before she softly said, "Sophia, could you bring me that scarf I was working on at the hospital? It's in my bag. Knitting helps me focus."Sophia nodded and headed to the corner where her mom's bag was, rummaging through it until she found the unfinished scarf, a soft, cream-colored piece with delicate floral patterns forming at the edges.Handing it to her mom, she sat down across from her, watching as Catherine's hands moved with practiced ease, the rhythmic clicking of the needles filling the silence. After a while, Sophia shifted uneasily in her seat, her voice low but clear. “I’m sorry, Mom,” she began, her words faltering for a moment.Catherine looked up from her knitting, her brow furrowing. “What is it, darling? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“I got married on a whim… I should’ve told you first,” she said cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper.Catherine froze, her knitting needles halting

Chapter 33: Troubled Catherine

Alexander’s expression darkened, his cold demeanor becoming icy. The tension in the room was palpable.“Ethan!” Sophia scolded, stepping between them. “I’m the one who proposed to him. Don’t blame him for this.”Alexander calmed down; he watched Ethan with an unreadable expression and finally spoke. “It’s fine. He’s just looking out for you. I understand.”Catherine’s voice cut through the tension. “Ethan, apologize. Now.”Ethan hesitated, his jaw tightening. He looked at Alexander and muttered, “I’m sorry.”Alexander inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment.An awkward silence followed.Catherine clapped her hands together, trying to lighten the mood. “Sophia, why don’t you and Ethan go buy a nice fish for dinner? It’s been so long since I’ve had one.”Sophia hesitated, glancing at Alexander, who nodded in approval. After all, he was a busy man. “I’ll wait here,” he said simply, taking a seat on the couch.Sophia grabbed Ethan’s arm and pulled him toward the door. “Come on, let’s

Chapter 34: New Beginnings

When they arrived at Valmere, Alexander headed straight to his study, muttering something about catching up on work. Sophia didn’t mind. She made her way to the kitchen, eager to focus on preparing dinner. Cooking was her escape, a way to silence the noise in her head.She decided on stuffed chicken with herbs, a dish that required careful preparation. As she worked, the familiar rhythm of chopping, stirring, and seasoning brought her a sense of calm. One hour later, the meal was ready, and she set the table with precision. Just as she placed the last fork, Alexander entered the dining room.He didn’t say much at first, simply taking his seat as she served him. They ate in silence, but Sophia noticed something unusual. Alexander, who normally approached meals like they were a chore, seemed to linger over each bite. He chewed slower, his gaze distant, as though he were somewhere else entirely.Sophia's cooking always reminded him of his mother.“Is everything okay?” Sophia asked hesit

Chapter 35: Nina Schemes

Carla’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “Tampered with?”“Yes,” Sophia said, her eyes darting toward Nina. “The edits were made from another account. Nina’s account, to be specific.”A ripple of murmurs swept through the room. Nina’s head shot up, her calm facade cracking. “That’s ridiculous,” she said sharply. “Why would I touch your files?”“I don’t know,” Sophia said in an accusing tone, “but the timestamps don’t lie. Would you like to explain?”Carla turned to Nina, her gaze piercing. “Nina?”For a moment, Nina’s composure faltered, but she quickly recovered. “There must be some mistake,” she said, her voice laced with indignation. “Maybe my account was hacked.”She didn't expect Sophia to be so bold as to accuse her in front of Carla Lennox. She had sabotaged many other designers who she thought were a threat to her.There is a rumor that Carla might be promoted, and Nina wanted to make sure she would be the one to take over her position.But this time, despite schooling in the same co

Chapter 36: Saved

Emily pretended to be hurt. “Ouch, that hurts, girl.” She winked and walked back to her desk, leaving Sophia alone with her thoughts. As noon approached, Sophia’s nerves were frayed. She’d managed to pull together three drafts using older ideas, but she knew Nina would still find a way to twist things. Just as she was finalizing the third draft, Nina’s voice cut through the office. “Sophia,” she said, sauntering over. “It’s almost noon. Do you have my drafts?” Sophia looked up, her heart sinking. But before she could respond, a sharp clap echoed through the room. “Attention, everyone!” Carla Lennox stood in the doorway, her commanding presence silencing the office. “I have an announcement.” The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Carla. “Sophia Blackwell,” Carla began, her gaze locking on Sophia. “From now on, you don’t need to submit your drafts to senior designers. You’ll submit th

Chapter 37: Did He Touch You?

Zach’s eyes lit up at her words, misconstruing her professional tone. To him, this was easier than he thought. He glanced at his associates, who laughed knowingly. "You’re lucky tonight, Mr. Thompson," one of them teased. Zach grinned his yellowed teeth on full display. Sophia resisted the urge to look away, her professionalism holding firm. She smiled professionally before urging him again, “Okay, your sign, Mr Thompson." Zach took the contract, picked up the pen, and signed quickly without much thinking. He said, "There you go, Miss Blackwell.” Handing it back to her, he added, “Now we can get to the good part. Shall we celebrate properly?" Sophia’s stomach twisted as she slid the signed contract into her bag. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson. I’m sure this partnership will be mutually beneficial.” Zach leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol. “Oh, it’ll be beneficial, all right.” He reached fo

Chapter 38: Who's That Man

When they were a few blocks from the Allure building, Sophia waved Emma and Grace goodbye as she got out of the cab. Her eyes scanned the street ahead, searching for the familiar black sedan. It was parked a few blocks away, the headlights blinking to life as she approached. She smiled faintly, appreciating the driver’s punctuality. As she reached for the back door, the driver’s side opened. To her surprise, Alexander stepped out, adjusting the cuff of his tailored suit. “You want me to be your driver now?” he asked, his voice carrying an amused undertone. Sophia froze for a second, startled. “Alexander? How… How are you here so fast? I left you at the Image Club an hour ago.” His eyes twinkled with subtle mischief. “Thank you?” he prompted, gesturing toward the front passenger door. Realizing she was still standing there like a statue, Sophia muttered a quick, “Oh! Thank you,” before sliding

Chapter 39: Dinner Date

Sophia followed Alexander as the elevator doors closed with a soft hum, ascending to the top floor of the luxurious restaurant. She couldn’t help but glance at him, his tall frame commanding attention even in silence. The elevator chimed, and the doors opened to reveal a stunning private dining area. The space screamed wealth; golden chandeliers, plush carpets, and panoramic views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. Sophia froze for a moment, unable to mask her awe.“This way,” Alexander said, his voice calm but firm as he gestured toward the reserved table.Sophia followed, taking in the marble table adorned with silverware that gleamed under the soft lights. Two attendants pulled out their chairs simultaneously, and Alexander nodded his thanks, taking his seat.Sophia sat down, smoothing her dress nervously. She couldn’t help but think, Just how powerful is Alexander?The staff brought out the menu, and Sophia noticed Alexand

Chapter 40: Sabotaged

Sophia’s journey at Allure Fashion was anything but smooth, but her determination and natural talent made her stand out. Late nights working on sketches, brainstorming sessions with Emily, and countless hours perfecting every detail were finally paying off. Her latest project, a line of elegant evening wear, had just received glowing feedback from one of the company’s most influential clients.After the meeting, Carla approached her with a rare smile. “Sophia, that was impressive,” she said, her usually sharp tone softer. “The clients were satisfied, frankly, and so am I. You possess an eye for detail that most designers don't have. Keep this up, and you’ll go far.”Sophia felt her chest swell with pride. “Thank you, Carla. That means a lot coming from you.”“Just don’t let it get over your head,” Carla said with a wink before turning to leave. “Stay focused.”As Sophia returned to her desk, her heart brimmed with excitement. She had wor
