Sophia POVWhen I finished I went to my suitcase, grabbed the towel, wiped my face, took a sip of water and stretched, cracking some bones, to finish relaxing my muscles. Now all she needed was a good shower and she would be ready for the next step. I took out my cell phone and started looking at group messages.When I started to answer one of them I felt a gaze directed at me and the characteristic smell of Achilles permeate the room, I know I got tense... I closed my eyes, shuddering, I don't know why, but I want to turn around and just throw myself in his arms of that man.“Heavens! I need to get laid!”I thought and shook my head, I had no problem screwing guys I just met, but that same feeling I have that I need Achilles is what's going to keep me away from him. I don't know what would happen to me if I let those instincts take over. But… My body doesn't want to do what my mind does, because I turned and looked into that man's eyes and it was like everything else lost color and t
Sophia POVI woke up feeling my body sore, my muscles had probably tensed while I was passed out. My mouth is dry and my head is pounding. It's like a hangover, only much worse. I hated it when that happened and it had been so many years since I'd had a seizure.It seems that meeting the Houroux had brought a lot to light and attacks that I haven't had for years would now occur frequently, panic, fear, anxiety… I don't want this for myself, I need to go back. Coming here was a bad idea.“I want to leave…” I said, my voice hoarse and dry, but I know he heard me.I open my eyes and blink a few times getting used to the white light of the hospital room.“Miss Turner… I'm sorry… It's my fault.” Hyperion's voice is filled with guilt."I just... I want to leave, as soon as possible." I spoke again and sat up and saw Hyperion handing me a glass of water. He looks much older now, there are black circles under his eye.“How long was I unconscious?” I asked and finally realized I'm wearing the
Sophia POVI took a deep breath, twisting my mouth, and then handed him the handle of my suitcase. Do I really want to talk to Perseus and Hyperion? I honestly don't know... I hadn't said yes or no...Thinking about leaving... Going back to my friends, to my life... I can feel a metallic taste in my mouth. This is very strange, I'm having a physical reaction to a thought that could benefit me. My unconscious wants to stay here? Why?Alex grabbed the handle of his suitcase and started walking. I followed a little behind him. Trying to come up with explanations for my reactions. It was a complicated spiral. How long have I been displaying negative actions? I can't answer that precisely... I need a session with my psychiatrist.Soon we were in the car heading towards the building I was staying in, I took out my cell phone and texted the psychiatrist asking for an urgent session, she accepted, and now I just needed to get to the room to make the call to her. Meanwhile, I could feel my anx
I grabbed my wallet and cell phone, they were the only things I needed, everything else I could buy. I walked towards and opened the door and looked over to see Alex standing there."Come on, we've got shopping to do!" I said smiling, wrapping my arm around his right arm, "I have to buy some new clothes and go to a make-up salon!" I started walking, pulling Alex, who was a little dazed. "Quick answer, I'm going to be here for a few days, enjoying my vacation... Which means I have to buy presents, clothes, make-up, hire a tour guide and lots of other things.""Um... But... Are you okay? Can you drink?" Alex asked, stopping in the middle of the corridor and looking at my face seriously."Well, that's a difficult question... No, I'm not fine, but I intend to stay... Which means I'm going to take my psychiatrist's suggestion and stop thinking too much about things and enjoy my well-deserved vacation, which I haven't taken in years." I answered as best I could at the time. "But that means
Sophia POVI know Alex wants to talk to me, but I'm ignoring him, not giving him a chance to speak. I entered the mall. It was huge, with several floors and all kinds of stores, but the first thing I did was go to one of the dessert kiosks and grab a strawberry sundae with extra chocolate topping.I started eating as I walked past the stores. The club opened at 10 p.m., so I had a few hours to get ready. I need to buy my clothes first. I already know what I want to wear and what my makeup is going to look like. If I was with my friends, it would be easier, but here I needed to find my clothes first, then a place to change and do my makeup. The perfume isn't what I really like, but it will be easier to find something similar... So, let's go shopping.The first step was to go to a store with clothes for
Sophia POV Angelica leads the way, showing us the way, we arrive at the back of that gigantic store, and there's an elevator in front of us, Angelica presses the button, and we enter, there's a very large mirror at the back and I see my appearance again. There are still black circles around my eyes, but I don't look so tired anymore, I have to say, Angelica did a great job on me, even though I was wearing very basic clothes. Alex is a little behind, his expression is solemn, he's understood that I don't want to talk, and I give him a little smile. Alex isn't a guy to throw away, but he certainly has a lot of women who want him... I took a deep breath and instinctively moved my hand to my stomach, feeling that twinge of nausea. If I didn't know myself well enough and hadn't spent two days in hospita
Sophia POV"And do you realize how wrong that sentence is?" I looked directly at Angelica. "I live in the big city and work as a nurse... Do you know how many times I've had to treat someone precisely because the community they lived in didn't like them? Or because someone walked on the wrong side of the street? I've lost count..."I realize that the two women are uncomfortable."Yeah... Well... I'll probably only stay a couple more days before going to Europe, it'll be nice to go somewhere where I don't need a bodyguard and don't have to be afraid to be who I am." I finished and leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes. "I wanted make-up that matches my outfit."I know the mood has become heavy, but that's basically it, I may not be the best of people, but I can't stand
Sophia POVJust as Alex was about to say something, the door opened, and the two women came in, they were dressed for the evening, Angela wearing a dark blue tube dress with some red rhinestones outlining her breasts, which went down to her waist on the left side and encircled her entire waist.Caroline was already wearing a dark pink top with purple details, a high-waisted white skirt that went down to mid-thigh and purple sandals with scales. They were both already wearing make-up."The only thing missing is the bag!" I said, standing up and holding my cell phone in my hand."Really! Come on, I'm sure we'll find something in the store!" Angelina said and I smiled."Um... What about my clothes?" I asked, remembering that someone really needed to take my clothes."One of O..." Caroline started to speak but stopped and looked at Alex."She means that one of the servants is going to come and get your clothes," Alex replied, and I knew Caroline was going to say another word.But I kept q
