I know who I am 1
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

Sophia POV"Let's see the cabin, girls!" I said excitedly and walked straight to the stairs and saw that there was another guard there, and this time I didn't have to speak because he quickly moved away. Room 13 was very interesting, with three sofas, two puffs, a table, a minibar and a balcony where you could see the whole dance floor. I threw my bag on one of the sofas and went straight to the balcony.I leaned forward with my hands resting on the edge of the balcony and watched as people started to come in, the music was already playing, something soft at the moment, and I closed my eyes, enjoying the situation.I only opened my eyes when I heard the door opening and the sound of several people coming in, I turned around, still leaning against the balcony and smiled, six new people had arrived, and they seemed to be couples.The way they looked at each other was something I'd seen in very few couples, they loved each other and I smiled, it was so beautiful to see because couples di

Sophia POVAs I was leaving the dance floor, I saw that Alex was standing by the stairs with his arms crossed, he looked worried... I was surprised by his expression, but I went to get another drink, and then I felt someone grab my arm and I shuddered.I knew that things could get out of hand very quickly, so I pulled my arm away and pushed the person who had held me without my permission.I saw a guy stumbling, he was wearing a leather jacket with some spikes, jeans and heavy boots, his hair was shaved on the sides, but the ends were up.Then I turned to Alex, who was already close by, grabbed his arm and made a slight movement with my head, but Alex's aura was enough to make the people around him afraid... It's as if he was really turning his anger into something physical."Sorry! I didn't know she already had an owner!" The man said.He should have kept quiet, it would have been better... It would have been better for him to face Alex, because the way I turned, I saw people cringin

Sophia POV"Drinking without eating... After leaving the hospital..." I said with my eyes closed. "It wasn't my best moment of intelligence.""Think about it, at least you didn't take your medicine," Alex said, and I felt him sit down next to me."I'll need sugar as well as salt..." I took a deep breath."Sugar?" Alex asked, confused."Yes, glucose..." I opened my eyes and stared at him, I could still see that shadow in his eyes. "Your eyes...""What's wrong with them?" Alex asked me, but I knew he was nervous."There's something in them... I thought it was because I was drunk, but..." I want to reach up and touch his face, but my inst

Sophia POV"You shouldn't go around flirting with everyone." I heard Alex's voice coming from the left and turned to see him."Why? Are you jealous?" I asked and approached him slowly. "I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with me."I could see an uneasy look on Alex's face, a touch of jealousy and doubt."Sophia, you're going to end up regretting it," Alex speaks after thinking for a few seconds, and I know he's frustrated."I've regretted a lot of things in my life, including choosing to have sex with some people who, well, weren't good enough." I'm very close to Alex, and I tilt my head to speak close to his ear. "But life would be very dull if we didn't taste things..." I lower my voice an

"Hey! You're not going to sleep here, are you?" I heard Samuel's voice and opened my eyes, letting out a low laugh."No, I'm not sleeping here..." I smiled and added something he definitely wasn't expecting: "But maybe in a hotel room with you accompanying me."I saw his eyes widen for a second and then his laugh echoed, and I liked the sound of it, but that twinge of pain came back."By the Goddess! You're very direct and very different." He said, pouring me a shot of apple mead."Why be the same when I can be different?" I asked, smiling."I agree with that!" Samuel replied and handed me the glass. "It's a busy night, but if you want to wait, we can go somewhere else afterward."

Sophia POVAgain I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I look around, we're outside the bar, there are a few cars there, and several people are looking at our discussion, but I know it's none of them, so I let my gaze wander to more hidden places.Alex holds my arm, but I don't push him, I know he understands what I'm doing and in fact, he's also looking around.I finally stop and look further to the right, down a much darker street, and it's impossible to tell if there's anything there, but I know that whatever is watching me is there."Sophia, we need to go." I heard Alex's voice and with my peripheral vision, I saw some people heading in the direction I had stopped to pay more attention. "Sophia, please."
