Is there a problem?

SOPHIA

I kept checking my phone every minute but still, I heard nothing from Damien.

It was finally time for the proposal conference to win the third contract but he was nowhere to be seen.

Our competitors were all present and seated. Except for him.

Soon, the board members walked in and I looked up to find Aiden watching me closely but I quickly looked away because I didn't want to keep eye contact with him.

The last time we spoke to each other was that morning in my kitchen. Inside my apartment. I wanted to say it felt good to hurt him with my words, just the same way he hurt me too.

But a part of me felt guilty.

At the same time, I couldn't bring myself to apologize. I didn't even want to. Because it would mean I was admitting I was wrong and I didn't think I said anything wrong to him that morning.

So he would have to get over it on his own… or chose to not speak to me again. Whatever suited him, I didn't care.

I checked my phone again to see if there was anything new from Dam

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Trade words with you

    AIDEN The door slammed shut behind me with a loud bang and I made my way up to my room, taking two steps at a time.I took off my clothes in a fit, still furious about the things Sophia said to me back at her place. I told her I loved her. I bared my heart out to her and shared my feelings without holding back.Only to have her throw it all back in my face when I thought we could finally be together irrespective of our circumstances. Or maybe she was getting back at me. Making sure to hurt me the way I hurt her a year ago and I had to admit that she did get me. Especially when I least expected it. I left for the bathroom to take a long cold shower with the hope that it would calm my temper and when I returned to the room, Isabella was seated on the bed.I immediately knew that whatever level my temper was at before was about to get multiplied because the only thing her presence ever did was piss me off.Her eyes ran over my bare chest as I stood before her, only a towel wrapped aro

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I bet you are wondering

    SOPHIA It was after office hours. Which meant it was time to see Damien. Whether I wanted to or not, I had to go see him. Dressed up and ready, I made my way to his company and just like the last time, I was led to his office by a security personnel who walked away after we reached his door.I kept fidgeting with my hands as my nerves got the best of me. I didn't know why he wanted to see me. I didn't know if it was for a good reason or maybe… worse.All I knew was, I couldn't afford to get on his wrong side. Until I would be free of his claws that'd been dug deeply into me, I had to make him think he still had control over me.I couldn't leave any room for him to get suspicious of me. Slowly inhaling, I closed my eyes as I tried to keep my emotions stable. Then I opened them and I let all the air out. I couldn't turn away. I had to meet him and get it over with. With that thought in mind, I pushed open the door and walked in to find him writing. He stopped to look up and when our

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    What could it be?

    SOPHIA“You don't mean what you just said, right?” Aiden asked me and I shook my head. I meant it and I was going to say it again if I had to.“I meant what I said, Aiden. We should break up before it gets messy” I answered and he sat up, his eyes filled with many unsaid questions. “Why would you say that to me after what we had last night? Why the hell would you even think this is going to get messy?” “Because it is messy already. Just not as messy as you think but I've said what I said, Aiden. We should end this for our own good” I told him and he scoffed.He got out of bed and wore his trousers. Then he came toward me and knelt before me. Holding my face gently, he made me look him in the eyes and I made sure not to look away.What I was doing was for our own good. Maybe we could get back together in the future but at the moment, it was better we stayed apart. It would make things less painful for me. For us.“Tell me you're just joking, Sophia. Tell me you don't mean any of the

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I'll give it to you

    SOPHIA“The woman you love?” I asked Aiden in shock and he opened his mouth to speak but words didn’t come out.It was the first time I was hearing him say the L word to my face since we got back after the divorce. But seeing as he didn't have the balls to repeat himself, I wondered if he even meant it when he said it the first time.“You know what? Goodnight, Aiden. I've got a movie to watch” I told him before turning around to go back into my apartment but then he grabbed my arm and turned back around to face him.“I'm not letting you walk away” he gritted his teeth and without warning, he claimed my lips, drawing them into his and he softly biting on my lower lip.I quickly pushed him away and my chest heaved fast. Up and down nonstop as we both stared at each other. My lips still tingled from the touch of his and inside me, a storm of want and desire grew. I knew I had to make him go away before I'd lose total control of myself but I couldn't say a word.All I did was stare int

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    The woman you love?

    SOPHIAEvening came and I knew I was meant to be getting ready for the date. I should be wearing the dress Aiden got me, putting on the necklace and earrings he chose for me along with the pair of shoes but I wasn’t going to.I’d decided I wasn’t going on that date with him. So I was going to stay home and try to make the best of the night until I would fall asleep.With that, I left for the kitchen, hoping I would find something to snack on and I heard my phone beep from my pocket. At first, I was reluctant to pull my phone out and check. I could tell it would be Aiden.I was going to keep him waiting for me until he would realize I wasn’t coming. And I didn’t want to speak to him. I didn’t want him to get into my head when I was still mad at him. So I kept on looking through the cabinets for what to eat.A moment passed and my phone beeped again. I was going to ignore it again but then I didn’t think I could bring myself to do that. With a groan, I gave in to my curiosity and pulled

    DAMIEN“There’s someone who wants to see you, Mr Locke.” my assistant told me and I looked up to face her.“Who is this someone?” I asked her.“Beth Carter. Should I let her in, Mr Locke?” she asked while I shut my laptop close and I nodded.“Let her in,” I told her. With that, she walked out of the office and seconds later, there was a knock on the door. Then Beth walked in and she smiled at me when I looked at her.“I bet you’re surprised to see me showing up unannounced in your office” she said as she made her way to one of the chairs and sat down. All while I watched her make herself comfortable before she finally looked at me.“What brings you here, Beth? I’m sure this unannounced visit had to do with Sophia. Right?” I asked her and she shrugged, that smile still stuck on her face.“What if it has to do with Sophia? Are you eager to hear what I have to say?” she asked me too and I leaned back in my chair to have a proper look at her. I bet she had come to tell me something that
