Sophia

I paced back and forth inside my room as I felt a bit shaken.

“I shouldn't have said that to Damien. What would he even think of me?”

I know, of course, he would assume that I want to go back to Aiden.

“I can't. I can't. I can't even think about something like that. Aiden would never accept me. What's wrong with you, Sophia? Why exactly are you thinking about that treacherous being? After everything he did to you, you think you still have a chance with him?”

I questioned myself as I tried to calm my nerves. Thank God I was able to stop Damien from coming, or else he would say everything he had in mind. And of course, he would say some hurtful words to me.

“For me ever daring to talk about Aiden and thinking I would ever have a chance with him, it was all out of stupidity, out of imagination. How could I ever go and investigate his new wife? Even going as far as getting her name and information, trying to confirm if he had any children with her. Only then would I lose hope.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Are you home already?

    SOPHIAWondering why Aiden would send me such a large box, I opened the envelope to pull out whatever it contained and there was a letter.– Sophia, I know you're mad at me and you have every reason to be because I spoke to you harshly. I falsely accused you and it was very wrong of me to do such. So I apologize by saying I am sorry. I was drunk and didn't even realize what I was doing until I became sober. I miss you Sophia. I miss talking to you so please pick up my calls. I planned a date for us and it's tomorrow night. All you have to do is wear the dress I got you and someone will come and get you. I hope you come.Love, Aiden Cross – I kept staring at the piece of paper even after I'd read his letter and sighing heavily, I tossed it aside and pulled the dress he bought for me out of the box to have a look.Then I realized there was also a pair of shoes and a box of jewelry too and I gaped at everything he bought for me in disbelief. I couldn't believe this was how relentless A

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I hope he leaves her

    SOPHIA“Why don't you come in? I'll make us dinner” Beth invited me into her apartment when we arrived at her place in my car and I didn't turn down the invitation once she offered dinner.“Sure, let's go” I answered her without hesitation and together, we left for her place. Walking in, I couldn't help but notice how smaller her apartment was compared to mine.I had to admit that I was surprised. I'd always seen Clara as sophisticated and rich. At least that was how she always carried herself and I wondered… if she was letting me know her as well as she knew me.Without a word, I followed her into the kitchen and sat by the island to watch her go back and forth while she quickly made us something to eat.Thirty minutes later, the pasta she was making was ready and she served me a plate along with a glass of water. Then she joined me too and we both ate in silence while she typed away on her phone in between each bite she took.Soon, she had emptied her glass of water. So she stood u

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Sit with me

    SOPHIAMy phone rang while I searched for a dress to wear. Once I heard a click, I grabbed it from my vanity and pressed it to my ear while I grinned from ear to ear.I couldn't explain why I suddenly felt so content and satisfied. Maybe it was because I had a really good and long sleep. I just knew I felt that way and I didn't want the feeling to go away.“Hello, Sophia. You called” Beth spoke from the other end and my smile grew wider.“Hey, Beth. Yeah, so um... I wanted to know if you were interested in hanging out with me today” I told her and she was quiet for a few seconds. “Well, I've got to be at work today. This is the day we cross check everything in the club to know what needs fixing or replacement” She told me and I could feel a bit of the happiness I woke up with slowly deflating away. I'd begun to imagine a very uneventful day for myself where I would have nothing to do and I'll probably end up losing my mind. “Oh. Well. I thought we'd be able to spend some uninterru

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    He is off the table

    SOPHIA “You shouldn’t worry yourself about me, Janet” I insisted even though I knew she wouldn't listen to me and just as I predicted, she shook her head. Then she took my hands.“Miss Hale. We have worked together for years now so it's totally normal and expected of me to worry about you. So share your burden with me. Tell me what weighs you down… because your eyes are already telling me enough. You're in pains”She told me and I had to admit that her words were very convincing. She made me want to tell her everything that ran through my mind and I knew I could trust her. I didn't need proof. I just knew it.“Fine. I'll tell you everything. It's a lot but I will” I gave in to her persuasion and she smiled. Then I went ahead to tell her everything that's happened in such a short span of days.By the time I was done, she was gaping at me.“Why would Aiden say that? I'm pissed but I think there's a reason why he said that” she told me when she finally snapped out of her shock and I nod

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Fine by me

    SOPHIAI pulled open the door after seeing it was Janet and Mr Mason and I let them into my apartment before I closed the door.“Sit down please” I told them when they awkwardly stood in the middle of the living room and Janet smiled at me as she took a seat on one of the couches.“I'm sorry for showing up unannounced like this, Miss Hale. I tried to reach you to let you know that Mr Mason had come for your scheduled meeting but you wouldn't…”“It's alright, Janet. I kept my phone where I wouldn't hear it ring. I needed the peace and silence” I told her as I sat down too and I didn't miss the look of concern Mr Mason had on his face when he heard me say that.“And Mr Mason. I'm sorry I wasn't at work today. I wish I was, it's just… something came up” I smiled as I gave such a vague excuse and he smiled back at me too, his gaze filled with understanding. “You don't have to explain yourself to me, Miss Hale. Mr Cross has paid me enough for anything that comes up so I'm here to attend t

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    A weeping mess

    SOPHIAI locked my door once I was back in my apartment and threw my purse to the side. I had the urge to drink. To get drunk and fall asleep so I could forget the harsh things Aiden had said to me.But I had no appetite for anything. I didn't want to eat or drink. I just wanted to go to bed and hopefully fall asleep once my back touched the bed.With my chest heaving fast, I stormed toward my room and aggressively took my clothes off. Then I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. Stepping beneath it, I did not care if the water was cold.I just hissed from the freezing sensation but I could feel my anger subsiding the longer I remained under the water and soon, I was nothing but numb to the incident between me and Aiden. Or maybe I'd only successfully tucked my hurt feelings aside until it would surface again… Wrapped in my robe, I sat on my bed and just stared into space. Then I remembered Damien's warning the last time we spoke. The day he called me to his office and
