"Relax, honey, it's alright. I already have the last diary and I'm safely tucked in bed. Nothing bad happened," she reassured him, her voice laced with affection.
But Alexander's tone turned stern, his worry evident in his voice. "You promised me, Sophia. Promise no more reckless stunts," he demanded, a hint of frustration seeping through his words. "I don't have the same power anymore. If I couldn't help you..."
"Alexander, my love, I can handle myself," Sophia interjected, her voice gentle yet firm. "And this time, you needed help because you're in this position because of me."
Alexander let out a heavy sigh, his frustration evident. "God, Sophia, don't blame yourself," he pleaded. "You didn't do anything wrong. The only one to blame is my father. Clear?"
Sophia fell silent for a moment, grappling with her emotions.
"Love, I can't believe it," Alexa
