SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW
Young Master Navier.
Clan head.
Sy Mafia.
I have never thought in my life that I would face such words. Words that I am not able to grasp so easily, even if they seem like it. I know that I wanted this and saying that I am having a hard time sinking all of these at once is simply my fault. There is no one else to blame but myself.
Do I regret not waiting for Navier to take the initiative with this? A huge part of me is, but that huge part is easily silenced by my need to k
CHAPTER ONE: WHERE DO WE START? (1)♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEWI did not realize that I fell asleep again until I woke up again. This time, I felt so much better and all the remaining effects of whatever they made me drink seems to have vanished completely. My head does not hurt nor I do not feel anything weird everywhere else. It just took me a moment to realize that someone is playing with my hair… and that someone is none other Navier.I remembered asking him if he could lie down with me and I forgot what happened next when he embraced me, probably because I fell asleep as soon as he did.
CHAPTER TWO: WHERE DO WE START? (2) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW Have I ever been drugged before? Well, the obvious answer is “no” and what happened was the first time for me. Do I feel angry that I was drugged? As much as I want to feel angry, there really is no reason for me to feel that way immediately without knowing what Navier has to say first. I believe that he would not do it without any reason. My stand on not consuming anything in his clan’s mansion is still here and, in fact, even if we are already here in a restaurant not too far away, I am still hesitant to eat. Again, I am not angry about what happened, but I cannot bring myself to calm down even just for a little; and make my body understand that I will not be drugged again.
CHAPTER THREE: WHERE DO WE START? (3) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW When I decided to love Navier the way I love him now, the same repetitive question lingers in my mind even though I already know the answer to it. Will I be willing to risk my safety if it means I can be with the man I know I love? The answer is an immediate yes, no second thoughts needed. This is not me saying that I want to get hurt or anything like that. This is not me saying that it will be okay if something happens to us. This is not me saying that I am crazy enough to simply jump into danger for Navier. This is me simply saying that I know the risks loving Navier has and I am willing to consider t
CHAPTER FOUR: WELCOME BACK, YOUNG MASTER (1)♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢NAVIER’S POINT OF VIEWI know that I am dreaming.It was easy to say so and know so because I never have dreams, it just seems that tonight is an exception to that rule.We are in the Sy Mansion and I have a feeling that I am back to the very first time that I am here, the very first time mom and dad brought us here. I had to smile, those were such innocent times where Nicole and I did not know anything about the other side of the family affairs.I am right.
CHAPTER FIVE: WELCOME BACK, YOUNG MASTER (2) ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ NAVIER’S POINT OF VIEW When I was fourteen and Nicole was sixteen, it was the first time we were ever introduced to our mom’s… colleagues. Before, we did not know what to call them instead of that. Colleagues. The word felt out of place for the aura of the whole situation, but it was all what we had. Mome’s colleagues that we never saw again after that sing meeting in the Sy Mansion. I can clearly recall what our mom told me then, we will only be able to meet them at the right time. We never really knew when was that “right time” but neither of our parents explained nor said

I still did despite knowing that this is highly likely to happen.Cursing under my breath, I did my best to compose myself and
CHAPTER SEVEN: ALL FOR YOU (1) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW It has been almost a week since Navier brought me to the Sy Mansion, toured me around, and introduced his people to me; not to mention everything else that happened that neither Navier nor I wanted to experience in my first time being there. It has been a week and it is as if I did not just meet the other side of my boyfriend. By saying I met his other side, I realized now that the more appropriate word is “having a glimpse of who Navier is outside his normal corporate world”. If I am being completely honest, the week that has easily gone by was not enough for me to sink everything in. It sounded so simple, I know, that I just have to accept that Navier, the man that I love, is not completely th
CHAPTER EIGHT: ALL FOR YOU (2) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW There was this passage from a book I once read and, opposed to what I usually read which are romance novels, this book was all about the unrealistic expectations and views on love and to our romantic partners. Standards built from fantasies that can actually be harmful. I do not doubt it. Expectations can bring disappointments. Disappointments can be harmful if not communicated well enough. The passage, though not as exact, goes like this, “you cannot expect for your loved one to always be equal to what you can give. The scale is not fifty-fifty all the time, in fact, it is likely more imbalanced most of the time.
