    After spending nearly two hours on the road thanks to the horrible nighttime traffic in the city, Sophia finally arrived at her hotel. She stepped into the hotel suite and shut the door behind her with a quiet sigh. The moment the lock clicked, the confident smile she had worn all evening slowly disappeared from her face. Her shoulders slumped from exhaustion as she kicked off her heels and walked further into the luxurious living area.The gala had drained her far more than she expected. She didn't even spend up to two hours in there!She dropped her purse on the couch before sinking into the cushions, finally allowing herself to breathe properly. For a few seconds, she simply sat there in silence with her eyes closed, trying to calm the storm in her chest.She was sure she had put on a good poker face because not a single person could look down on her the same way they did five years ago. However, despite how much time had gone by, she couldn't help but admit that seeing them again

    Across the hall, Julian had watched everything.His eyes followed Sophia the moment she walked away from Edward. He had been distracted the entire evening, barely hearing half the conversations directed at him because his attention kept drifting back toward her. Every movement she made pulled him in without effort.“Mr. Vale?”Julian blinked slowly and realized one of the investors was still speaking to him.“My apologies,” he muttered distractedly and one of them smirked knowingly.The moment he noticed Sophia leaving the ballroom area entirely, he immediately stood up. “Excuse me for a moment,” he added before walking away before anyone could stop him.He followed her trail through the hallway quietly.The farther he walked from the ballroom, the quieter things became. The loud music faded behind him until only soft instrumental echoes remained.Up ahead, he noticed Sophia disappearing around the corner and so, quickened his pace slightly.At first, he assumed she was heading toward

    Edward took long, confident strides towards the VVIP section. As he neared where Sophia was seated, he went over how he was going to scold her multiple times. When he finally arrived, he stood behind her, his irritation growing as he watched her mingle with the others at the table, people even he couldn't sit with.Meanwhile, Sophia sat calmly in her seat, her attention fixed on the stage where a violin performance was taking place. The soft golden lights reflected against her black dress beautifully, making her look completely untouchable.Edward cleared his throat loudly. “Sophie,” he called. She didn’t react.At first, he thought she hadn’t heard him because of the music. He frowned slightly and stepped closer. “Sophie,” he called again, this time louder.Still nothing.His irritation deepened immediately as he realized that she was ignoring him on purpose. He glanced around briefly and noticed a few people beginning to watch them from nearby tables.“Sophie!” he snapped a third t

    There was an eerie silence in the space as soon as the words 'LuminaTech' left Dan's mind. Serena stared at him like he had lost his mind, Jada looked like she wanted to laugh while Julian looked purely confused. Nothing about what Dan had just said made sense. But, Dan didn't look like he was joking. He didn't even bother repeating himself, which only increased their confusion. Jada was the first to recover. "That's not possible." She snapped immediately, taking a step forward as if the distance could correct what she had just heard. "You must have it all wrong. Go and confirm again. I'm sure there's been a mistake."Dan didn't flinch. He only gave a respectable nod and held up his tablet more firmly. He had been around the Monroes for a few years, so he knew they weren't going to let him be until they had confirmed things themselves.“I understand your concern, ma’am,” he replied calmly, his voice steady despite the tension pressing in from all sides. “But there is no mistake.”He

Despite the orchestra beginning to play louder music in the background, nearly everyone in the ballroom continued watching openly.The tension surrounding the three women was impossible to ignore. People could already smell drama coming.Serena folded her arms tightly as she stared Sophie up and down.

    The microphone slipped from Julian's hand and crashed against the podium with a loud thud, the sharp sound echoing across the ballroom. However, Julian barely heard it over the sharp pounding of his heart. His entire body had gone still as he stared at the entrance of the hall. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating. He had to be. There was no way she was actually in front of him. "Sophie..." He whispered faintly, his heart racing. The once silent ballroom had become a complete chaos. Reporters screamed for Sophie, wanting to hear an explanation from her. Cameras flashed from every angle, each handler vying for the perfect shot for this breaking news. They were all sure it would make headlines. Sophie Monroe. The woman who had disappeared after her sister, her husband's true love, suddenly returned, claiming her place.

    His name appeared boldly on her screen. Julian. She stared at it for a while before turning to Lara and then holding out her phone to show her the screen. "What do you want to do?"
