Sophie Pov"Ohh" I replied, and continued washing the plates. She quietly cleaned the plates lost in her thoughts."You don't want to talk to him?" She asked. I wonder if I should be pissed she is intruding or I should just answer her. I looked up at her and she looks like she genuinely cares."It's not like I don't want to reply to him, I just don't want to bother him with my life when he is going through his own issues" I said, washing the plates."What do you mean?" She asked."Well he just recently went through a lot with his former marriage and he is working towards bringing his company back to its feet while trying to search for my non-existent mother, I don’t think it’s fair to bother him with my life” I said. She went quiet.“You think your mother is non-existent?” she asked, softly.“Yes I think she is, dad has been searching for her and she refuses to show up unless she is dead. I believe she is seeing everything that is happening to him and their daughter on the news and s
Sophie Pov We quietly left the hotel, and we entered the car. He turned the car on. He drives quietly, just looking at the road. I look at him, feeling so guilty that I didn’t call him.“I’m sorry,” I apologize again, quietly. He looks at me and sighed, not replying me. The ride was awkward and intense as we both sat down, each in our own thoughts. After the long and intense ride, we finally got home. Dad and I came down from the car and head inside quietly. I look at the familiar living room that I grow up in. This house brings me bad memories, memories I don’t want to think of or remember. Dad and I sat down on the couch beside each other. He sighed.“What happened Sophie? Why were you ignoring my calls?” he asked.“Dad, what did Everett say to you?” I asked. He sighed.“He said he saw you with a man in a hotel and you suddenly disappeared,” he said. So Everett is implying that I am a whore, and I abandoned everyone to have fun with a man?“Do you believe him?” I asked him.“No, no
Ario POV“What!” Jane yelled in shock. We got back yesterday, and although I wish to tell everyone what happened on our journey, I was too tired because for a week and a few days I have not slept, and Odin didn’t sleep on our way back, so we immediately went to sleep. We have been sleeping since yesterday morning until this afternoon, and right now I still feel so sleepy.“Yes, Jane, we are truly doomed,” I said, rubbing my head. I have terrible migraines.“Oh no, this is terrible,” she said, roaming the conference room. I sighed, my head seriously banging. If I’m not careful, I will have a mental breakdown. This is too much for me to take in, and my lack of sleep didn’t help. We may be powerful gods, but we are also humans with flesh and a weak body system.“So what are we going to do?” she asked. I coughed out, sighing.“I guess we will look for Selene; Mabel said she is currently in Isak's broken down palace; that was the clue,” I said. And they all nod their heads.“Missed me,” a
Sophie Pov I looked at the ticking clock, bored out of my mind. What is the point of living in an enormous mansion without having anything to do? I sigh, the time is currently 10 am and I am already bored. Should I visit Everett in his office? No, I can’t do that. What if he freaks out? No Sophie he won’t freak out, it is his office, he can’t do anything to you there. With that thought, I stood up and went to the kitchen. Why don’t I visit Everett and make lunch for him? I love cooking and I cook all the time to get my mind off things. I sometimes join the maid back in my house to cook, and they teach me how to cook. Apart from cooking, I also love painting and sketching. I have a lot of sketches, and I want to be a fashion designer. I have shown my parents a lot of my sketches so they can help me get connections so I can build my own fashion world, but they said my sketches are not appealing, that nobody would buy them. Well, that was before. But now dad is trying to help me with m
2 weeks earlier Sophie Pov The sound of the door opening woke me up. I sit up on my bed, yawning. I walk to my bedroom door, opening it. It was my sister, Anna. She looked at me with a scorn. I don’t know why she can never look at me like a proper human being. “Yes, how can I help you?” I asked. “Mum and dad want to speak to us. Go dress up and come to the office in 10 minutes’’ she said, not waiting for my response. After closing my door, I ran to my bathroom. I do not want to get in trouble with my parents, it will end badly for me. I wonder what they want to talk about, that includes me. They do a lot of meetings without me. It’s not like they care about me or are actually nice enough to include me in their conversations. I am the outcast of the family, the abandoned sister. While Anna is the lovely daughter. After brushing my teeth, I took a bath. Entering my closet I wore a blue trouser and a white shirt. I know my parents don’t like me like they love Anna and they don’t care
Sophie PovThe remaining hours of the day I spent it painting and sketching. I don’t really go out much and I am trying to look for a way to give designers my designs. I checked some websites but I have not really seen what I am looking for; I am looking for someone who is going to use my designs and give me credits, but all I am seeing is designer asking us to sell our designs with no credit and I do not want that, I want to have my own fashion Empire one day.Mum and Anna have gone for shopping since and they haven’t come back. I went downstairs to have a drink. Dad must have gone to work, or he is still in his office. I got to the kitchen and took orange juice from the fridge and pour myself some. Suddenly I heard the sound of cars approaching; I dropped my cup and went to the living room. I look through the window and I saw Anna and mom coming down from one of the cars. Anna was saying something to the guards, but I can’t hear from here.The guards came down from the cars and went
Sophie Pov“Papa, Pat?” I said, confused. What is he doing here? The art store was where I met papa Pat. I had mistakenly run into him without knowing. I kept on apologising and he was just laughing. We both sat down and talk. He is a lively man. We talked about our families. I told him everything there was to know about me, and he did the same. He also told me he was looking for a wife for his grandson. He said his grandson is 30 years old and refused to get married. I wished him good luck with his search and we part ways. I haven’t seen him since then. Don’t tell me he is the old grandfather that want to take a wife for his grandson! Oh my God, no!“Sophie!, my dear, how are you?” Papa Pat said, smiling at me widely. I looked at mom and Anna and they were shooting daggers at me. If only looks could kill, I’d be 6 feet down. I nervously laugh, moving closer to him. I might be in big trouble after this. No wonder he knows that the Lee’s has another daughter because I told him my name i
Sophie Pov Anna came back with the head chef right behind her. I could feel my heart beating faster. “You called for me, ma’am,” he said, with his two hands behind his back. “Yes I did Alberto, tell me, is there garlic in the sauce you cooked?” Mom asked. My heart beat faster. I could see Anna smirking at me. Oh, lord let me be right, if I am wrong I am going to be in big soup because Anna and mom will accuse me of trying to make Papa Pat like me. They might put me on house arrest. I don’t go out much but I still don’t like me being on house arrest. It’s terrible cause that is when I will feel like going somewhere and dad will never come to my rescue. “Yes ma’am, there is garlic,” he said. I breathe out a tremendous sigh of relief, thank the lords. They would have accused me today and also kept me under house arrest. I smiled while mother and Anna frowned and also glare at me. But I don’t care just as far as I’m right and they were wrong. “Thank you Alberto, you may leave,” dad sa
