Daniel's POV

Luca left my office with that smug grin still plastered on his face . As the door clicked shit behind him, I leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. Sophia, here in New York. Working on the project I've invested into, Yves Saint Laurent. The irony was almost unbearable.

I thought she was gone for good . When she walked out of my life, there was no looking back . I was sure of it . Yet, here she is . In my City. After all this years, she's back, and somehow, she managed to slip into my world again without even trying.

The memories flooded back the arguments, the misunderstandings, the slap. I never cared. I should have . But I was caught up in the lies and manipulations of my past, too blind to see the truth in front of me . And then…she was gone, leaving me in the wreckage of my life, unable to fix what I'd destroyed.

I picked up the desk phone, dialling my assistant. “ Liam,” I said, my voice steady but my heart racing. “ Get me everything you

    “Not that serious?” Ethan's voice came out low,cold, almost dangerous. His fists clenched at his sides, the weight of Sarian's words sinking into him like a knife . “ She saved your life, Sarian. And you ….. you trashed it like it meant nothing?”Sarian rolled her eyes, that infuriating smirk playing at the corner of her lips . She has always been this way careless, selfish , cruel and utterly incapable of seeing beyond her own needs . Ethan couldn't help but think how wrong he had been about her all those years ago.“ Spare me the lecture, Ethan,” she shot back, her voice dripping with disdain. “ You think you're some kind of hero, don't you? Running to her defence like she's some martyr ? She came between us , she's not innocent. None of us are.”His jaw tightened as he took a step closer, anger coursing him through. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Sophia had given up her blood to save Sarian's life, and this was how she repaid her back? With mockery and disdain?But before

    As they entered the apartment, the soft hum of the elevator still lingered in the background. Elena offered a quiet goodnight before retreating to her room, leaving Sophia and Jacob alone in the living room. Sophia stood by the window, gazing out at the city lights, her mind replaying the events from the evening. She didn't want to talk about it , not now , not yet. The weight of everything with Sarian, and even Ethan, felt too heavy to carry at this moment.Jacob approached her gently, his presence calm and reassuring. He placed a hand on her shoulder, his touch warm . “ You don't have to say anything,” he murmured softly, as if sensing her need for silence.Sophia turned to face him, her eyes meeting his soft vulnerability. “ Thank you, Jay,” she whispered. “For always being there. For Raven, for myself….”Before he could respond, she leaned in , kissing him . What began a soft kiss quickly turn more intense, her hands finding their way to his chest , pulling him closer . He respo

    Sophia slowly stood, her heart thudding in her chest . She had prepared herself for this moment, Ethan being reintroduced into her professional life, but nothing to quite compare to the reality of standing in front of him once more.Jacob, sensing the shift of energy, stood beside her but remained silent. His eyes flickered between Sophia and Ethan, though he was unaware of the deeper history between them.“ Ethan,” Mrs.Blackwood continued, motioning toward him , “ this is Sophia, the creative genius behind the designs we've been so excited about. Tasha, Ethan is one of our biggest investors for the project.” Ethan's expression was composed, his eyes flickering with something Sophia couldn't quite place . His hand extended toward her , and she hesitated only briefly before taking it.“ Nice to meet you,” Ethan said, his voice deep and steady.Sophia met his gaze evenly . “ Likewise,” she responded, her voice calm though her thoughts were racing.Their handshake lingered a moment to

    Ethan hesitated for a fraction of a second before taking her hand . His touch was familiar, but the circumstances couldn't have been more different. “ Sophia,” he replied, his voice low , his eyes searching hers for something she wasn't ready tomorrow give .Sarian, standing beside Ethan with a smug expression, wasted no time inserting herself into the conversation. “ Oh Sophia, how lovely to see you again,” she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. “ I didn't realise you would be here tonight.”Sophia returned the smile, though hers was far more genuine . “ Likewise, Sarian. It's been…a while.”The tension between the four of them was palpable. Sarian squeezed Ethan's arm tighter, as if staking her claim, while Ethan remained silent, his gaze flickering between Sophia and Sarian.“ Well,” Mrs. Blackwood continued, oblivious to the undercurrents, “ I'm sure two of you will have plenty to discuss over the course of the evening. I'll leave you to it. There are some other gues

    Later that evening, Sophia went to Raven's room . The light in the hallway cat a soft-glow into the space, revealing Raven sitting crossed-legged on his bed , his small face etched with confusion. Sophia could see he was still bothered by what had happened earlier with Sarian. She tried to steady herself as he approached him, determined to offer comfort and clarity. “ Hey, darling,” she said softly, sitting on the edge of his bed . “ You doing okay?”Raven looked up at her, his eyes big and filled with questions. “ Mom, why did that lady called me that ? What's a basta…?”Before he could finish, Sophia cut him off gently, “ don't say that word, baby. It's not a good word, and you don't ever need to repeat it .”“ But why did she say it.” Raven pressed, his voice filled with innocent curiousity only a child could have . “ Is it because I don't have a real dad?”Sophia's heart clenched at his words. She hadn't anticipated this moment—having to explain such harsh realities to him . Sh

    Sophia didn't hesitate. She rushed forward, her hands pulling Raven away from Sarian's tight grip . “ Mom!” Raven cried, his face streaked with tears , clinging to her as if he was terrified of letting go. Sophia's heart pounded, her breath shallow with anger as she faced Sarian. “ Get your hands off my son!” She snapped , her voice sharp and filled with protective fury .Sarian blinked, clearly taken aback at first , but then a wicked smile spread across her lips . “ Your son?” she echoed, her tone dripping with malice . Her eyes gleamed with amusement, as if she has found a weakness to exploit.“ This bastard!”Before she could utter another vile word , Sarian's have flew across her face with a loud , resounding slap. The force of it caused Sarian to staffer back, her hand instinctively reaching for her reddened cheek , shock and humiliation in her eyes.“ You will not speak about my child like that,” Sophia hissed, her voice low but filled with such intensity that it could cut thr
