SOPHIA.âThe necklace looks good on you, Mrs Hart. A necklace fit for a Queen,â Tracy, my personal stylist, complimented as she did my hair. I looked in the mirror, admiring the necklace that Lucas gave me. It had a white gold chain with a teardrop-shaped diamond at its center. Smaller diamonds surrounded the larger rock, adding more sparkle to it.âIt was a gift from my husband,â I replied, my heart swelling with warmth. Lucas had not said anything about the necklace, but I had a feeling it meant a lot to him and for him to give it to me⊠did that meanâŠ?No, I couldnât jump to conclusions. He was yet to answer my question about the nature of our relationship and it was starting to make me anxious. âYour husband loves you a lot. Iâve never seen Mr Hart treat any other woman so well before,â Tracy remarked. She looked at me through the mirror, smiling. âHow do you want your hair done?â âPut it up⊠I want the necklace to show,â I replied. He did say I should show it to everyone. Tr

SOPHIA. Gasps echoed around me. I turned to see none other than Ashley Kent, Eliasâs cousin from Oliviaâs side of the family. She was quite beautiful with dark blonde hair and brown eyes. However, behind all that beauty was a woman with a very bad personality. We had never seen eye to eye. âYes, thatâs me. Can I help you?â My words were curt and cold, my face devoid of any emotion. Ashley sneered, looking me over before crossing her arms across her chest. Her clique of friends flanked her sides, looking at me as if I was their worst enemy. They didnât even know me on a personal level but they already hated me just because their friend did. âEveryone knows youâre not part of the Hart family anymore. So, what are you doing here? Elias came with his wife, are you here to disturb them?â Ashley taunted and her friends snickered. I rolled my eyes. After the divorce scandal, Elias had announced that Violet was pregnant with his child and that he did the right thing which was to make

SOPHIA. My heart skipped a beat and I turned, seeing Lucas walking towards us like he owned the place. His eyebrows were creased and he had one hand in his pocket as he looked at the scene before him. He stepped closer, his expression dark with fury. âWhatâs going on here?â âU-Uncle⊠Iâve been looking for you. Grandpa said you were in a meeting with some of his friends,â Elias immediately said, trying to distract him. However, Ashley suddenly smirked. âMr Hart, you wonât believe it. This divorcee claimed you would fall for her!â She rolled her eyes. âI told her if you fall for her, I would cut off my pinky! What a joke⊠how dare she make such claims? Sheâs just an abandoned woman who doesnât deserve your time!â The air around us suddenly turned cold and Eliasâs face turned pale. âUncle⊠letâs go back to theâââShe was so confident, Mr Hart!" Nicole cut in eagerly. "She even dared to place a bet on whether you would give her the time of day. Ha! I told her I would kneel and bark

SOPHIA. The hall fell into stunned silence. Everyone stared at us in shock, their jaws on the floor as Lucasâs words sank in. Elias let out a nervous chuckle. âU-Uncle Lucas, youâre joking, right?â He turned to me. âItâs not true, right? How can you marry someone else when you love me?â I rolled my eyes at his delusion. âSo, the reason you cheated was because you believed I loved you so much and would tolerate any bullshit that you threw my way?â I questioned, letting go of Lucas to face the two traitors as anger and hatred bubbled up within me. Lucas took off his black jacket and draped it over my shoulders before rolling the sleeves of his black shirt until his elbows. He had worn an all-black suit for this event and it looked good on him, giving him mafia boss vibes. âM-Mr Hart, Elias is your nephew. I donât think itâs right for you to side with an outsider and help her get back at him. Youâre supposed to support your family,â Violet said, looking at Lucas with a longing gaz

SOPHIA. Ashley and her friends were visibly shaking now. Long gone were their complacent expressions. Their faces were crumpled like a deflated balloon as if someone had popped their pride with a pin. âM-Mr Hart, we are family, thereâs no need for all this. We were just joking⊠it wasnât that serious,â Ashley stammered, fear flitting through her eyes. âYou were joking?" Lucas spat icily. "You mocked, bullied and insulted my wife and you say it wasnât that serious? What the heck do you take me for?â âIt was all Ashley, Mr Hart. Sheâs the one who told us to mock Sophia! We didnât want to do it but she said she would give us a Hermes bag each!â Nicole yelled, pointing at Ashley. âIf anyone should get punished, itâs her. Not us!ââThatâs right!â Michelle uttered. âI didnât want to do this in the first place.â Ashleyâs eyes grew into saucers when her friends threw her under the bus. âNo... it wasnât me!â She denied it and turned to Violet before pointing a finger at her. âIt was her!

LUCAS. A few minutes earlierâŠI didnât expect Dad to throw me into a spontaneous meeting with some of his old folks. When I arrived and they saw me talking to Mr Jones, a lot of them flocked towards me, wanting to have a word. So, Dad arranged for us to have a short meeting in his private lounge.I wondered what they wanted to talk about and not wanting to miss out on any business opportunity, I went along with the arrangement. However, to my surprise, Dad looked at his friends seriously. âSo, I know you all have beautiful young women as daughters, nieces and granddaughters. You can tell my son about them, perhaps he might like one of them,â he said and I furrowed my eyebrows deeply.âDad, come on. We talked about this,â I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose. Dad nodded. âYes, I know! I also remember telling you to find a woman you like but Iâm tired of waiting, Lucas! Iâm in my mid-seventies. Who knows when I'll kick the bucket?â He sighed dramatically. âDo you want me to d

SOPHIA. âLucas, if something happens to our father, Iâll hold you responsible!â Richard yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Lucas. Lucas didnât reply, simply looking at his father with creased eyebrows. Everyone could tell he had fake collapsed again but Richard was trying to blow things out of proportion. âRichard, weâve all seen that thereâs nothing wrong with your father. Heâs just shocked by the news,â an elderly woman said. âHow sure are you that thereâs nothing wrong with him? His granddaughter-in-law became his daughter-in-law, do you really think heâs fine?â Richard spat. âThe forbidden marriage must have given him a heart attack!â Olivia said. Looking at me, she sneered. âFather trusted Sophia a lot. Who knew that she would seduce my brother-in-law just to stay in the family and benefit from our wealth? I heard the Adams Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, she must have schemed her way into Lucasâs bed and forced him to marry her!ââMom, I doubt Sophia can do that! S

SOPHIA. âDo you love my son, Sophie? Or are you using him for revenge?â My heart jumped to my throat. âDad, thatâs notâââSon, Iâm talking to Sophie,â Steven said. He narrowed his eyes down at me. âDo you love Lucas or youâre just with him to get back at Elias?â The place fell into dead silence and I bit my lower lip, my stomach twisting and turning. âSophie, my decision depends on your answer. Why did you marry my son?â Steven asked, his voice domineering. âDad-ââHeâs husband material!â I blurted out, my face flushing. âI married him because I realised how wonderful he is. Heâs handsome, kind and loving. Everything I would want in a husband.ââIs that so?â Steven raised his eyebrows suspiciously. âYou didnât collude with him to get married so I could give him my shares?âMy heart raced erratically in my chest. I couldnât have Lucasâs father find out why we got married in the first place. He may look like he was the kindest man in the world, but he was very strict when it came

ELIAS. I stood at the altar, my heart rejoicing about how things were working in my favour so far. With Mr X coming to personally hand me a contract next week, my position in the family was as good as sealed. Today, I made sure all of the companyâs shareholders had been invited to the wedding. My plan was to talk about my heir at the reception to impress the shareholders. The shareholders cared a lot about reputation, and a CEO who was a family man with good morals was their ideal type of leader. I could still hear Dadâs warning in my ears when we talked earlier today. âAfter today, donât create any more scandals. We canât afford to have any more stains if we are to chase Lucas out of the family. Donât disappoint me.â It was the first time I saw a proud look on his face. Although he didnât approve of Violet because of her background, he still tolerated her because she was carrying my heir. My child...Or so I thought. I didnât expect her, of all people, to lie to me. When So

SOPHIA. It had been a few days since I opened Dadâs safe, and it took everything in me to hold back and not confront the culprits. Having them arrested immediately would be going too easy on them. Elias, especially, since he loved stabbing people who were good to him in the back, I wanted him to know how it felt to be betrayed. As the officiant was giving his speeches, Lucas grabbed my hand, squeezing it in assurance, and I looked up at him, giving him a small smile. I got this. Compared to what Elias and Violet did to me, this was nothing. "Since there's no objection. I will proceed with..."âI object!â I yelled, getting to my feet. Gasps echoed around the venue. I could feel all eyes turn toward me as I slowly walked towards the altar. Elias glanced at me with wide eyes while Violetâs face turned pale as if she had been drained of all blood. âMay I ask who you are and why you object to this wedding?â The officiant asked, clearly shaken by the interruption. He must have been

VIOLET. âYou look beautiful,â the makeup artist said after doing my makeup. A small smile crossed my lips. "Thank you. I've always wanted to be a bride."I glanced into the mirror, looking at the pretty face that looked back at me. Finally, the day of my wedding had arrived. Although Elias and I had already gotten married, this wedding was more of a confirmation of my position in the Hart family. As the first grandson of the chairman, Elias still had some sort of power in the Hart family. Itâs the first heir who always inherits a family legacy anyway, so ninety percent of what Steven Hart owned would belong to Richard, and in the end, Elias would be the benefactor. I was having this wedding not to wait for the two old geezers to die, but for me to have an opportunity to get rid of all of them. What if I died first and ended up not getting anything? I needed to secure the future of my child. At least, he should have a different life from the one I had. As Mrs Hart and the mother

SOPHIA. âI came as soon as possible,â Lucas said as he entered my office. I had been stuck in my chair for close to an hour, replaying the video I had found over and over again after copying it to my laptop. I looked up from the laptop, my eyes blurry from the tears I had been shedding. âYou were right,â I said, sniffling. "Elias was involved. Dad found out what they were up to, but he still failed to prevent his death.âLucas approached me, worry flitting through his eyes. He grabbed my hand and helped me up before sitting on my chair and placing me on his lap. He then coiled his arm around my waist, looking down at me with a gentle gaze.âIâm going to make him pay. Iâll destroy him,â I said, tears rolling down my cheeks. My father was betrayed by his friend just because he couldnât give him a job he wasnât qualified for. That man worked with Elias to get rid of my father⊠They even had the guts to stick around and try to take over the company. Dad was good to Elias, but how c

SOPHIA. My heart pounded in my chest as I opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It seemed it was written a week before Dad and Mom had the accident that claimed their lives. My dear sweet little angel,My eyes stung, and I sniffled to hold back my tears when I read the first line. This was so Dad⊠still calling me his little angel when I was a grown woman. I guess to him, I was still that little girl he taught how to walk or ride a bike... I was daddy's little girl till the very end.My chest constricted with pain. I miss you, DadâŠIf youâre reading this, it only means Iâm no longer in this world, and youâre now ready to take over the family legacy. Donât feel bad if it took some time for you to take over, itâs never too late to find the right path. I know you must be married now. With me gone, I trust you made the right decision and married the right man for you⊠The one who makes your heart skip a beat. If he looks at you the way I looked at your mother, then youâre in

SOPHIA.I took a deep breath as I stood outside my late fatherâs lawyer, Abraham Marshall's, office. After Daniel Walter left my office earlier, I kept recalling how his gaze shifted to the bookshelf behind me when he thought I couldnât notice. Since he was once my father's close friend, he must have known there was a hidden safe in the chairman's office. And from the way he was giving the shelf secret looks, he surely knew what was inside that safe. Perhaps that could be the reason heâs been hanging around the company a lot despite not having any position there. That was the reason I chose not to waste time and came to see my late father's lawyer.The sooner I found out about what was in the hidden safe, the better. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. Twice. And then three times. After a few seconds of silence, a deep voice echoed from inside the office. âCome in.â I opened the door and walked in, finding Abraham Marshall seated behind his desk. He was an elderly man i

SOPHIA.My heart ached. So all this while, I thought Elias saved me, but it turned out he had taken the credit when it wasnât his to take in the first place. I know I was the one who mistook him for the man who saved me, but why didnât he correct me? He just went along with me, pretending like he was the man I thought had come to my rescue. As it turned out, it was Lucas all along. âWhy didnât you tell me? I ended up falling in love with the wrong person,â I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks. I couldnât believe I had wasted my time, my emotions and my love on the wrong person. There were so many wasted years...Lucas was silent for a few seconds. He frowned, looking at me. âIf someone else saved you today, would you fall in love with him?â I furrowed my eyebrows, shaking my head. âNo, I wouldnât. Why would I fall in love with just anyone because they saved meâŠâ I trailed, realising why he asked that question.He arched an eyebrow. âYou see? I donât think you fell for Elias b

##Flashback to nine years ago##LUCAS's POV. I had just gotten off Dadâs private jet when I saw Caspian waiting for me near his Lamborghini. âHey bro!â He yelled, waving at me like a fool. I shook my head. This fucker loved getting on my nerves. So he came all the way here just to embarrass me? When I reached his side, he spread his arms wide. âAren't you gonna hug your best buddy?â âFuck off,â I said before getting into the car. Caspian entered the driver's side car and drove off. I glanced at him, saying, âLetâs stop at a flower shop.ââYou just returned, and you canât wait to see your first love? Are you finally going to confess your feelings?â A small smile crossed my lips. âYes, I am. I canât hold back any longer. I missed her so much.â âWhat if she doesnât like you that way?âA lump formed in my throat. That was a possibility. But I wouldnât know unless I tried, right?âWe shall cross that bridge when we get there,â I said, looking out of the window. Dad had sent me abr

LUCAS. I froze. I hadn't expected that we would run into Sophia's high school tutor, much less that he would bring up the past. âWhat do you mean? When did Lucas save me?â Sophia asked him, giving him a questioning gaze. I gave the man a pointed look, hoping he would keep his words to himself. However, he chuckled when he saw my glare, looking back at Sophia. âDonât tell me you forgot. Lucas once saved you when you were attacked on your way home,â Adil Patel uttered, ignoring the daggers I was shooting at him with my eyes. Sophia gasped, glancing at me with rounded eyes. âIs that true? Were you the one who saved me that time? How... it was clearly Elias...âAlarm bells went off in my head at those words. What the hell did that mean? Was she about to say Elias was the one who had saved her?Adil laughed. âI see.... Lucas must have kept it a secret because he didnât want you to feel burdened."He chuckled again, glancing at me. "How noble. Iâll see you around, and congratulation
