Se connecter61Chapter 61With tight fingers like iron claws, Chloe. gripped Sophie’s arm and began dragging her toward the exit while Damon followed suite from behind."Let go of me! You're hurting me!" Sophie cried, struggling against the tight hold."Stop, stop! Let her go!" Damon yelled, rushing forward. He reached out to pull Sophie back, but Chloe fiercely swatted his hand away.A glare was thrown down to him making enough to make him swallow down hard."Stay back, Damon! I will not have some undisciplined, lower class brat trespassing in my home, let alone associating with you.I'm doing this for you. For your future and your safety" she hissed, her voice dripping with venom as she faked a smile."You don't care about me so stop lying.You're no one to tell me what's best for me!" He yelled still trying to pill Sophie's hand loose."Close it! You know nothing you little ingrate. This is for your own good now move aside!"She uttered pushing him away for Damon to land his but to the ground.
Chapter 60"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOME?!"Yelled a woman, her voice booming across the hallway.Sophie froze, her heart hammering against her ribs as she was sure she had been caught.Slowly, she turned around and Standing at the foot of the sweeping staircase was a tall, elegant woman. Her sharp eyes flared with anger, and her expensive designer dress rustled as she crossed her arms.This was the woman Sophie recognized to be Chloe from their hospital encounter.If last time she was scared, now she was terrified because Everything about her screamed of wealth and most of all danger."I asked you a question" the woman demanded, her voice like ice but on seeing Sophie's face, realization hit her instantly."It's you. how did you get past security?"Sophie swallowed hard, her little fingers fisted to the strap of her little backpack. Channeling her bravery towards the desperation of seeing Damon, she uttered"I... I'm looking for Damon. Is he here?"Chloe's eyes narrowed i
59EARLY THE NEXT DAYI was discharged and I wasn't the only one happy.Excitement washed over Sophie the moment I stepped out of the hospital.The pain on my shoulders didn't hurt a much as it did before.And since I was feeling better than ever, it was time to get down to business.Bruno stepped in with a hot coffee in hand."You seem to be doing better""I am" I replied watching as he passed a cup to me. The steam exuding from it showed how freshly made it was."I'm glad but we having pressing matters" he uttered."You had mentioned something like that at the hospital. What's the matter?""It's DESIGN TECH. They have chosen a president for the company without your knowledge""What?!" I exclaimed, eyes going wide in shock."They wouldn't do that""They did and not only that, Edward is the new president and they're preparing his inauguration"Informed Bruno staring at me.Perhaps he had expected an outrageous outburst from me. Loud tellings perhaps because his brows narrowed slightly
58"WHAT? YOU HAVE A FAMILY?" Asked Sophie looking stunned.A glare was passed from Lucian to Chloe who startled a little at the intensity but regained her posture."Sophie, it’s not..." Lucian started, taking an instinctive step forward, his hand outstretched."Sophie come here" uttered William as he brought Sophie to his side.He stepped in front of Clarissa and Sophie, shielding them like a wall. "You’ve done enough damage for today, Lucian. Get this psychopath woman away from my wife and daughter"Chloe let out a sharp, mocking laugh as she shook her head.Her eyes glared daggers at Clarissa as she went on to say."Psychopath? Please...I’m just a mother trying to bring her family back together. Unlike some people" she shot a venomous glare at Clarissa, who was still kneeling on the floor, holding Sophie tightly"I actually care about where my man spends his nights right Clarissa?""What's that supposed to mean?" Questioned Clarissa standing to her feet."Exactly what it means"C
57"If you feel that way does it mean you'll RUIN MY FAMILY?"The question hung in the air, sharp enough to cut through the noise of the distant traffic.Lucian froze.And for long moments, no words were heard.He had expected Sophie to ask a question but not this.If you feel that way, does it mean you'll RUIN MY FAMILY?The question echoed in his head.What exactly should he say?He doesn't want to ruin Sophie's family but he also wants to be part of her family.He wants to be part of Clarissa's life as well.Was he selfish for wanting that?Could it also be regarded as him ruining her family.Lucian looked down at the five year old girl standing before him. She looked so much like Clarissa it made his chest ache to see she had so much loyalty to William. The realization that he was viewed not as a father, but as a threat, hit him harder than any physical blow ever could.He slowly sank back down to one knee, lowering his posture to match hers, refusing to let the bitter cold distra
56"HELLO THERE" Chloe uttered with a sly smirk on her lips.Sophie blinked, the sidewalk felt freezing beneath Sophie’s small palms.Slowly she pushed herself up, her knees scraped and stinging from the fall. She clutched her teddy bear tighter to her chest. Sophie blinked as she stared at the woman's whose eyes were hidden behind the dark sunglasses.She didn't know why but her tiny instincts screamed at her to take a step back.Chloe who gazed at the little girl could remember where she had seen her from.The resemblance to Clarissa was undeniable, She was that brat Clarissa's and Lucian's child!With this realization, they was a cold and calculating look to her face."Are you lost, little girl?" Chloe asked, her voice dripping with an artificial sweetness that didn't match her cold smirk. She knelt down, bringing herself to Sophie’s level, though she made no move to actually comfort the crying child. "A precious thing like you shouldn't be running around a busy street all by yo
36Slap!The sound echoed round the walls. The impact making my face to turn to the side."You whore! How dare..." Cursed Chloe in a venomous tone but before she could complete her statement, I had turned to face her, my palm meeting her cheeks with twice the same amount of force.This action of mi
25The preparations were set in motion.With the passport ready and our bags fully arranged, our departure sure did seem like it was set in stone but even with everything planned out, it sure did seem like something was bugging me.The worried look on my face I didn't know I had was seen by William
20In a dim room illuminated by a dim lit candle whose flames flickered non stop was a man who hung loosely from the ceiling.Thick red blood dripped down his temple.Cheeks swollen on both sides and eyes as red as blood.Tears trickled down his cheeks as he mumbled words of pleas."Please... Forgi
18I WAS DRUGGED! ***Tears filled the brim of my eyes at the realization that the person who drugged me was none other than my sister.She stood there, gaze peering at me watching as the men approached me. Of the two, one was way older than the other. I recognized him to be the guy who had stoppe
