Dragged, defiant, and kissed

The sudden splash of red wine across Sophia's elegant dress was a shocking moment of silence in the buzzing room.

The glasses had slipped from Florence's hands, it was a clumsy accident, but to Sophia, it felt like a deliberate act of war.

A gasp rippled through the gathered relatives. Florence, her face pale, began to apologize again, her words a jumble of “I am so sorry, I didn't mean to.” But the apology was a sound that Sophia simply did not hear. All she saw was the dark, spreading stain, brazen mark of disrespect.

Sophia's reaction was instant and fierce. Her eyes, which had been sparkling moments before, snapped out of control, narrowing into angry slits. "You did that on purpose,” she said, her voice low and dangerous, a complete contrast to the happy chatter around them.

The accusation hung in the air and was heavy. Florence's face crumpled, her eyes wide with shock and hot.

“It wasn't intentional,” she insisted, her voice shaking slightly, “it wa

    The accusationA few hours later, the top executives of Bennett Enterprise began to walk in one after the other.Their footsteps broke the silence in the large conference room. The leather chair made a slight sound as they all sat down.A few of them looked at one another and leaned in to whisper. Just thirty minutes prior, Sophia's message, an unplanned meeting with no explanation, had arrived in their inbox.One of the executives, Mr. Kane who was a few seats away from Sophia, clenched his jaw.He had tons of work waiting on his table, and he needed to get back to his office.He wasted every moment he spent sitting here. His mind sour, he tapped his pen against a notepad. That chair shouldn't even be hers. She had done nothing but lead the business further into financial ruin!And marrying Adrian Drake? He saw it as a desperate move from her to salvage what's left of the company and her father's reputation.From all angles, she was spineless. Rather than working hard to repair the d

    ConfrontationSophia was filled with energy the moment she entered the company building that morning. The sensation was sharp and cold, like a shock of electricity that caused the hairs on her arms to stand .Everything about her was humming with resolve and she was on the mission. The person who had given Adrian those documents, was someone she was prepared to catch.She refused to ignore it. Not in this situation. The typical morning rush of workers getting coffee, and making their way to their desks filled the lobby.The vast open area was alive with their conversation but as soon as she entered, silence descended. As the conversation cooled to whispers, everyones attention was drawn to her.She disregarded the looks. She didnt give a damn about their opinions or statements.Her mind was made up to carry out her plans for today and nothing would stop her. The thought of her father lying on the hospital bed and also going through da scandal, fueled her resolve to find the traitor a

    Defending Sophia“You should listen to me, Adrian.” Iris tried not to raise her voice. “It amazes me that you will just let everything that happened today slide without doing anything. You think it's a mere accident? No. It's not.I think Miss Florence did that on purpose.”He looked at her for a moment before he let out a disbelieving laugh. “Please, stop it. Florence is innocent. Look, it wasn't deliberate. Right now, you sound like Sophia. Has Sophia been feeding you her annoying theories of how Florence doesn't respect her? Please ignore it. Florence is a nice woman.”Iris sighed in total exasperation. “There we go again! “She said in pure exasperation. “I knew you would defend her,” her voice dropping but losing none of its intensity. “You seem to forget that I grew up in this house long before I moved to Paris. I know Florence. I know the things she is capable of. Trust me, you don't know her half as well as you think you do. It's so unfortunate that you are completely blind to

    Fractures beneath the vows"Don't make it sound like you're doing me a favor," he stated firmly. "Besides, this marriage is of mutual benefit to both of us. So walking out of this marriage is not a good idea. "Sophia moved close to the desk, her eyes burning in rage like coals in a furnace. "At this point, you're making it difficult for me. Everything is starting to piss me off in this mansion! Starting with how I am being treated by Miss Florence and you think it's okay? You took an important document that belongs to my father's company and expect me to keep calm?” Her voice trembled in anger. “If you don't start acting rationally, then you leave me no choice but to walk away! I don't care if it will ruin everything!"With that, she turned around and stormed to the door which she yanked open and left in anger.The forceful bang of the door left a space in his heart. He sighed deeply and then leaned back on his swivel chair."What a night," he muttered under his breath, rubbing his

    Defiance“No!” The word was a choked whisper, stumbling from her lips. Her mind refused to accept what her eyes were seeing.For a frantic moment, she thought she was hallucinating, convinced that the stress of the evening and the champagne swirling in her system had finally conspired to make her sick inside. The room spun slightly, and she blinked rapidly, forcing her eyes to focus on the document laid out on the table before her. As she leaned closer, the words crystallized into sharp clarity, confirming the impossible: **Confidential financials: Bennett Enterprise.**The impact of those words hit her like a hard punch to the face, draining the color from her cheeks. A wave of adrenaline surged through her, propelling her into action. With a swift motion, she snatched the document from the table, almost crumpling it in her grasp.A wild, consuming rage ignited within her as she flipped through page after page of private company data—figures, projections, and sensitive information

    The documentThey broke apart as if jolted by an electric shock.The brief pressure of his lips on her lingered, a warm confusing ghost of a touch.Sophia felt a swirl of confusion as her thoughts collided in her mind, struggling to make sense of the chaos around her. The air was thick with tension, and her heart raced as the world seemed to blur at the edges.Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed from the door, jolting her from her thoughts. She glanced at Adrian, whose once tender gaze had shifted to reveal a flicker of annoyance at the unwelcome interruption. He withdrew his hands from her face, the warmth of his touch lingering as he cast a glance toward the door before turning back to her. The moment felt suspended in time, pregnant with unspoken words.“I... I think you should get the door,” Sophia whispered, her voice barely breaking the silence.Adrian inhaled deeply, the air heavy with irritation. He despised being interrupted; it felt like a violation of the rare peace they had
