CHAPTER 120 [ Red String Of Fate ] ~SOPHIE~ I must be cursed; sentenced to a lifetime of never getting away from Travis no matter how hard I try. Maybe if I look at our pinky fingers closely enough, I would find that proverbial red string of fate that keeps drawing us together. A few weeks ago,
CHAPTER 119 [ The Abducted Bride ] ~TRAVIS~ Sophie walked briskly, like she couldn’t get out of the station fast enough. Or like she couldn’t get away from me fast enough. It would be easy to catch up to her and fall into the same rhythm beside her but she seemed in desperate need of space. And I
CHAPTER 118 [ Speak Of The Devil ] ~TRAVIS~ Sophie hadn’t arrived at the police station yet but I was more than willing to wait. The policeman who had worked hard to convince me to come along with me to the station was now eyeing me strangely behind his desk. His face didn’t hide much so I cou

CHAPTER 114 [ Mother-in-law ] ~SOPHIE~ We stood there long enough for her presence to be paralytic. I couldn’t move the hand that wanted to open the door the rest of the way and finally set Elaine free. I couldn’t move the legs that wanted to dash out of there with Elaine. Even the lips that wan
CHAPTER 113 [ Elaine’s Mother Gothel ] ~SOPHIE~ When facing off a family like the Wellington’s, there are only two options: One, be as wealthy as they were. Two, have a full-proof plan. I walked up to the huge doors of their mansion, knowing fully well that none of those options were in my favor.
CHAPTER 112 [ I Will Come To You ]~SOPHIE~I was in no state to worry about someone else, especially when the said person had ghosted me for days and gave no open window for me to confirm if everything her brother told me about her was true. How could I not worry when she sounded like a wounded an
