تسجيل الدخولSophia's POVI barely made it to my room before my legs gave out. I collapsed onto the bed with my body shaking as tears stream down my face. My throat still throbbed where Caleb's hands had been I could still feel his fingers pressing into my skin, cutting off my air.What had happened to him?Caleb had never been like this. He'd been sweet, attentive, loving nothing like the man I’ve see today it’s almost like he was a different person.How could he become this person? How could he change so much?I pressed my hands to my face sobbing into my palms I felt broken, hurt and disgusted that I ever got involved with a person like him, everything inside me had been torn apart and scattered.How could he? How could he put his hands on me.I curled into a ball hugging my knees to my chest the tears kept coming hot and unstoppable as my body shook with the force of my sobs.How dare he put his hands on me? How dare he try to choke me? How dare he call me a gold digger when he was the one who
Sophia's POVThe water was warm but I felt nothing but cold.Caleb had been following me around all day his hands everywhere, his voice in my ear, his presence suffocating. I'd tried to be civil. I'd tried to pretend like everything was fine but I couldn't do it anymore.I couldn't pretend.I was standing in the shallow waves trying to find some peace when I felt his hands on my hips. His lips pressed against my neck."Sophia," he murmured. "You have no idea how hot—."I spun around shoving him away. "Get off me.""Sophia—""I said get off me." My voice was sharp trembling with rage. "What the hell is wrong with you? You think you can just touch me whenever you want?""Calm down—""Don't tell me to calm down." I stepped back my chest heaving. "I warned you Caleb, stay away from me don’t test my patience”“Sophia please… we can try again, whatever happened was a mistake” he says "A mistake?" I laughed mockishly. "Please Caleb enough with all of this, leave me the hell alone… and sto
Thorne's POVI watched as my nephew touched her, my property one that I’d refuse to agree that no matter how much I stayed away I still wanted her.Every time I looked his hand was on her either on her back, arm or waist. Always touching, always claiming almost like he was indirectly telling me to bacci off even though he doesn’t know.I noticed how she kept flinching away her body tense her expression pained.I wanted to rip his hand off.He was standing too close to her with his face inches from hers, his mouth moving, saying something I couldn't hear. She pulled away.He pulled her back.I felt my fists clench."Honey you're not putting the sunscreen on," Diana says, her voice light and teasing."Sorry." I squeezed some sunscreen into my palm. "I was distracted.""By what?""Nothing." I rubbed the lotion onto her shoulders. "Just thinking about work.""Please babe, we have the weekend to ourselves" She sighed her voice carrying a hint of frustration. "Can't you just relax for onc
Sophia's POVThe drive to the beach house was three hours of pure torture.I sat in the backseat of the SUV pressed against the window trying to make myself as small as possible. Caleb was beside me too close with his leg brushing against mine every time the car hit a bump. Eleanor was in the passenger seat chattering away with Diana about everything and nothing and Thorne was driving with his jaw tight and his eyes fixed on the road ahead.I hadn't spoken a word since we left.The scenery changed from city to suburbs to winding coastal roads it should have been beautiful and relaxing but all I felt was dread.The beach house was stunning. Very stunning I must admit.Perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean all glass and white wood and modern lines. It looked like something out of a magazine which made me wonder how Rich is Thorne?"Here we are!" Diana announced excitedly as we pulled into the driveway. "Isn't it gorgeous?"I forced a smile. "It's beautiful."We piled out of the ca
Sophia's POVI barely made it to my room before my legs gave out. I collapsed onto the bed with my body shaking and my reeling from what had just happened.How had things gotten so out of control? How had my life become this tangled mess of lies and secrets and impossible choices?Caleb was here my ex-boyfriend, the same asshole that choose my best friend over me and dared to lie to everyone we were still together.I pressed my hands to my facetrying to steady my breathing. This couldn't be happening. This had to be a nightmare and any moment now I'd wake up and everything would be normal.Yeah definitely!It had to be… Caleb couldn’t be here and to make things worst, he is Thorne’s nephew yet again Caleb had wormed his way back into my life.Could things get any more worst than they already are?I heard the door slip open.My heart leaped.

Sophia's POVGirlfriend!?What? Am I hearing this or what? He didn’t just say that did he?No! I definitely heard wrong.Caleb's words hung in the air like a bomb about to explode.“Yeah! She’s my beautiful woman” he addsThe room was silent with everyone staring at me, Diana, thorne and the woman I didn't recognize with her face breaking into a delighted smile."How wonderful!" The woman clapped her hands together her eyes bright with excitement. "Caleb has never been serious about anyone to bring her home… I mean he’s always been so focused on his studies and his future and now—" She beamed at me her smile warm and genuine. "I finally get to meet her"I opened my mouth to deny it to scream the truth at her, but no words came out. My voice was trapped in my throat, strangled by shock and disbelief."Mom this is Sophia." Caleb's voice was smooth, confident as he slipped his arm around my waist pulling me closer. "Sophia, this is my mother, Eleanor.""Sophia." Eleanor reached for my
