Sophia Black – 19 Years Later

Turning twenty-one was supposed to be the best night of my life.

Champagne towers. Music loud enough to make the floor vibrate beneath my heels. A dress so expensive it would make people whisper when I walked into the room.

That was how birthdays worked in my world.

Especially my birthdays.

Instead, I was sitting in my apartment in England… broke.

The word broke still felt ridiculous in my head.

It had never happened to me before. Not once. And the fact that it had

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 152

    I went back to work because I needed to see Adrian. We had to talk.I had messed up. Calling what we shared a mistake… I knew I shouldn’t have said that.But when I got to the restaurant, he wasn’t there, and by the end of the day, he still hadn’t shown up.That unsettled me. Going home like this meant no sleep.I pulled George aside. “Do you know where Adrian lives?”He gave me a look. “No.”I rubbed my eyes in defeat.“But there’s one person who might,” he added.I leaned closer. “Please help me get it.”He hesitated, then sighed. “I’m only doing this because I miss your old, bubbly self. The place has been too quiet without it.”“Thank you,” I said quickly.He disappeared and came back about twenty minutes later with an address scribbled on a small piece of paper.I took it, relieved. “I owe you one.”I told Benita to head home without me. “I need to run an errand.”“I can come with you,” she said immediately.I shook my head. “It’s not that kind of errand.”She gave me a suspiciou

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 151

    I expected Adrian to show up at my place, just like the last time.Maybe not with a peace offering this time, but something. Anger. A warning. Punishment. Anything. But nothing like that happened.One day passed. Then two.No messages. No calls. Nothing.On the morning of the third day, I finally asked Benita.“Has Adrian asked about me?”She shook her head.“Is he acting weird or anything?” I pressed.She gave me a look. “If you’re asking whether he’s affected by your absence, I’ll be honest… no.”I didn’t think it would get to me like that.“He’s actually been cool with everyone like usual,” she added. “Seems perfectly fine to me.”I frowned.Benita just laughed and walked away.I stayed home a little longer out of stubbornness, but by afternoon, I got tired of it. I missed everyone, and I wasn’t about to stop showing up just because of Adrian.Even though a quiet voice in my head kept calling me out on my own lie.Because the truth?I was going to see him.The moment I got to work

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 150

    I dropped the flowers on the counter and found myself walking straight toward Adrian’s office.By the time I realized what I was doing, I was already pushing the door open. He didn’t look up. He didn’t even acknowledge that someone had walked in. Like I wasn’t worth the glance.I sighed and took a seat anyway.“Adrian… it’s not what it looks like.”He kept typing on his keyboard, completely ignoring me.“Benita and I just ran into him yesterday at the store. He asked for my number, and I didn’t give it to him, I swear. I didn’t even know he was going to send flowers.”Still nothing. It was like my words weren’t even reaching him.“Adrian,” I called again.This time, he slowly looked up. His expression gave nothing away.“Why are you explaining this to me?” he asked.That caught me off guard.“Oh…”The word slipped out because the question left me speechless. I didn’t even know why I felt like I owed him an explanation.“I just thought you’d want to know,” I muttered.“I don’t.”His to

    Adrian was the one who broke the kiss, and for a second, neither of us moved.My lips were still tingling, my heart racing like I had just done something reckless… because I had.I opened my mouth to apologize, but before I could say a word, he placed a finger gently against my lips and shook his head.That single gesture shut me up completely.The rest of the show passed in a blur. I wasn’t even sure what songs were performed anymore. All I could think about was him, the way his lips had felt against mine: warm, firm, and addictive.My mind kept replaying it over and over again, and it didn’t help that Adrian was such a good kisser.I didn’t even know a kiss could feel like that.We kept stealing glances at each other for the rest of the night. Nothing was said, but everything felt… different.Even when he was driving me home, the silence between us wasn’t empty. It was heavy.Unlike the way I talked non-stop on the way there, I was completely quiet now. For once, I had nothing to sa

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 148

    I talked about that concert so much that by the time the day finally came, Benita was practically thanking God.“Finally,” she threw her hands in the air, “some peace and quiet around here.”I laughed, already dressed hours ahead of time, pacing around my apartment in an attempt to contain my excitement.The moment Adrian texted that he was outside, I grabbed my bag and rushed out.He was leaning against the driver’s door, his attention on his phone. But the second he looked up, his eyes darkened slightly as they took me in.Blue rugged jeans, the kind with more rips than fabric. A black tank top that clung just enough. On my feet were clean white sneakers that tied the whole look together.He exhaled slowly. “You really like showing skin.”“It’s a concert,” I replied. “The lighter you dress, the better. There’ll be dancing, singing, jumping, and sweating.”His gaze dropped to my jeans. “It looks like you own these in different colors.”I grinned. “I do.”He took a step closer.Then a

    Everyone who walked into Adrian’s office came out looking defeated. Apparently, he was in a mood, and not a quiet one. He was snapping at staff left and right.It wasn’t until George went in to update him about the new inventory and came out looking like he had just survived a storm that he walked straight up to me.“You need to go in there and fix whatever is going on with him,” he said.“Why do you think I can do that?”“Because you’re the only one here who doesn’t look afraid of him.”Marcy quickly added, “Please go. Before the day gets worse for everyone, and somehow, this becomes your fault.”I frowned. “My fault?”“Yes,” she said firmly.I sighed. “I’m not promising anything, but I’ll try.”“That’s enough,” George said immediately.When I walked into Adrian’s office, he didn’t look up.“I thought I made it clear–”He stopped mid-sentence when he realized it was me. His tone shifted instantly.“What do you want?”I leaned casually against the door.“You’re free to yell at me,” I

    Kelvin’s confession brought our conversation to an abrupt halt. I offered him a quick goodnight and practically fled, my brain still doing cartwheels.“Only this time… we both have eyes on the same woman.”God help me return to L.A. as a sane woman after this vacation.I shut the door to my room ge

    After Linda’s arrival, it was strangely calm for a few minutes. Maybe everyone noticed the not-so-warm welcome from Noah. But trust the Black kids never to let anything kill the vibe, especially on vacation.Sophia, Linda, and I naturally gravitated toward each other, three women in a sea of testos

    Liam didn’t say a word as he pulled me away from the side deck, gripping my wrist like I was some object he could just relocate when I annoyed him.We stopped near the bow of the boat, where the rest of the world felt miles away. The music was a faint hum now. All I could hear was my heartbeat, and

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 36

    The brunch buzz had barely faded when I realized I’d left my purse back at the sunroom. Typical. I had been too flustered during brunch, trying not to pass out under Liam’s gaze or get caught in Kelvin’s orbit, to remember something as basic as a handbag.I sighed and turned back toward the estate.
