I needed this!

SOPHIA

I slammed my door after me and I slowly exhaled to get rid of the anger I was trying so hard to control.

Elena was deliberately pushing me. She was trying to test how long my calmness could last before I would snap and I was glad I didn't satisfy her.

I left for my closet and began to pick outfits I would need for the trip but Elena's words remained in my head. Her words about Damien.

Could he truly be having feelings for me? Or was she just trying to get into my head to make me have doubts about Damien?

But then… there was no way I could defend his sudden touchiness as of recent. Why did he kiss me on the cheek? Why did he suddenly plan a trip after knowing me for a year?

Realizing I'd trailed off instead of picking outfits, I shook those misleading thoughts off and focused on what was important.

Soon, I was done and I left for the kitchen to make myself dinner but Elena beat me at it and I was surprised. She hated kitchen chores.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Stay safe too mum

    SOPHIA Elena was stripped off the CEO position. Just as I'd hoped my parents would do and they didn't disappoint me. They didn't give me a second chance to doubt them.“Aiden–is this real? Or am I just seeing things?” I asked Aiden who stood beside the bed and he chuckled deeply while reaching for my hand to pull me out of bed.“Not at all, baby. You aren't seeing things because it's all real. We took Elena down and we wouldn't have to worry about her anymore” he kissed me on the lips while I couldn't stop smiling.I was elated. Over the moon even… but I couldn't help but wonder how Elena had taken the news. So I quickly reached for my phone to call my mum.She picked on the first ring and her voice still sounded down just like it was the previous night. I immediately figured the whole issue didn't go down well with Elena and maybe they finally saw through her act once she lost her temper in front of them.“Hey mum. I just saw the news” I began by going straight to the point since I

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    You have to see this

    SOPHIA“So what now? Do we wait to hear from your parents or…”“When they execute their plan, you'll know, Aiden. They won't have to call you to let you know” I answered his question as we walked to our rooms.He took my hand and linked our fingers so I looked at him. “You're sure we did the right thing?” He asked another question and I nodded with an encouraging smile.“We did, Aiden. If we can't take them both down at the same time, we start with one of them. It just happened to be Elena” I replied.“But she's your sister. Surely, it must hurt, even if it's a little” he insinuated but I chuckled dryly.“Elena and I were once close but that was a long time ago. She chose to be one hateful person that she is, Aiden. No one forced it on her… and sometimes, it's best to accept people for who they are because letting them go becomes easier” I told him but he didn't say anything for a while.“You're sure you're fine, right?” He asked once more and I was quick to nod. I was fine and even

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Do you forgive us?

    SOPHIA“We only need your help to stop Elena from causing any more trouble before it’ll cause reputational damage to Hale’s Dynasty. We both know the public won’t be forgiving if they find out what she’s done and it’ll definitely affect the family business” I told my parents while the maids packed up the dishes from the dining table and they still couldn’t bring themselves to say anything after everything we’d told them. We’d shown them the evidence and once they saw we had a lot of it, they realized it was a futile fight for Elena. She’d been cornered and there was no saving her. Especially after the things she’d done. They were unforgivable.“She’s right, Mr and Mrs Hale. The company is doing very well right now and even though that is all thanks to Elena, we can’t ignore the fact that she’s gone beyond control. Damien Locke is a very dangerous man who won’t hesitate to take out anyone in his way and she joined hands with him”“He almost killed Sophia but thankfully, I got there o

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Care to explain?

    SOPHIAWe returned to the dining room but Elena was nowhere to be found. So I looked at my parents and my mum shrugged.“She left claiming that she had some business to finish at the office before Monday” my dad said before taking a sip from his glass and I shared a quick look with Aiden. She’d obviously escaped but I wondered how that was going to help.It was only going to worsen matters if I told our parents everything in her absence.“So… Aiden Cross. How long have you been seeing my daughter?” my dad suddenly asked out of nowhere and I looked at Aiden to see he’d stopped chewing for a moment. Then he swallowed.“Sophia and I have quite a history, Mr Hale” he began and my dad raised an eyebrow. All while I quietly watched their exchange as I ate.“Care to explain? So her mother and I can understand what you mean?” my dad asked him and Aiden looked at me. I nodded at him, giving him the go ahead to tell them everything that had transpired between us and he nodded back at me before

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I'm your sister!

    SOPHIA “You can't tell them anything when you get back to the dining room, Sophia. In fact, you won't. Instead, you will change your dress, eat the rest of your dinner in silence and leave with Aiden once it ends. Alright?”Elena told me immediately I shut the bathroom door after us and I was quite surprised to know she still had such audacity. Even though she was the one at my mercy.“Is that a threat or a plea?” I asked her, my arms folded across my chest and she ran her fingers through her hair while her eyes parted back and forth uneasily. She was truly panicking… She even looked desperate. “I don't care what you think it is so take your pick. All I know is you shouldn't say anything to mum and dad. Or I'll make you regret it” she hissed, causing me to chuckle in amusement while I nodded my head.“So it is a threat” I took my pick like she told me to and she began to blink frantically. “Do you think Damien is just going to sit back and let the both of you have your way? It doe

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I'll talk to her

    SOPHIAMr Stan was already waiting by the door by the time we arrived at my parent's place and I wondered if we were late as we took off our coats.“Are they…”“Yes, Miss Hale. They're all waiting in the dining room already” Mr Stan answered and Aiden shared a panicked look with me.We were late!“Weren't we meant to make dinner together? That's what mum told me” I told him, confused about why they were all in the dining room already and he adjusted his glasses.“I guess she changed her mind. Maybe she didn't want to keep Mr Cross waiting while making dinner” he replied and I guessed I could understand what he meant.They were going to head straight into business with Aiden, leaving no room for friendliness with him. “Thanks, Mr Stan” I thanked the butler and he nodded in return before walking away to have our coats hanged.Holding onto Aiden's hand, I led the way to the dining room where the family waited. Including Elena. I was shocked to see her there.We didn't say a word to anyo
