Sophia stared through the window at the people walking around the front of her house, her brows creasing as she tried to place them. Her neighborhood never had that much traffic, and people didn't just Invade other people's space just for the heck of it, especially since it was still too early, so who were they and why were they holding gadgets. The shrill sound of her phone had her jerking back in shock."I seriously need to change that ringtone, my God!" She muttered to herself as she picked up the phone and answered the call. "This better be important Bianca"."Oh, it's fucking important alright. I know y'all were keeping your relationship low profile but you both just got outed big time and the reporters are swarming everywhere.""What?!" Sophia sputtered, then looked closely at the people moving around In front of her house and what they were holding were definitely cameras.Sophia frowned, her brains firing in different directions. "Hello, are you still there. Sophia" Bianca s

"I saw the news just now and I'm just going to tell you not to read the nasty stuff they're writing, cause those people are just a bunch of crazy, jealous low life nobodies who are angry that you got such a hot guy like that when they couldn't," Vivienne said and Sophia laughed, smacking her hands against her face."That is like a lot of insult Mom, and I'm so happy that it's because of me.""Of course! You're my girl. If I was there, I'd have sued every one of them for defamation of character." She told, her gaze serious. "I'm sure you would have, that is if you didn't stab them in their faces first"."I've always had a very nasty temper" she agreed laughing then her gaze softened. "Are you alright dear. I know Lennox is handling everything but are you doing ok".Sophia nodded quickly. "More than ok. I'm really happy"."And that's all that matters. I'd have rushed down immediately this madness started but there's been some problem at the airport"."Mom you don't need to come... Just

Lennox winced as he tried to open his eyes. His head felt it was splitting in on itself but he didn't care about it as he forced his eyes open and glanced around the room, his eyes searching for Sophia as his gut clenched in a surge of panic, his heart beating erratically against his chest in fear.Lennox pushed himself off the bed and tumbled to the floor, wincing as the injection attached to his vein got yanked out. He groaned as the room darkened and spun around him.Hands clutched around his waist and someone was lifting him until he was laying on the bed but he refused to lay down, he couldn't give up, not when he had not seen Sophia yet so he shoved at the person blindly and the individual let go of him and stepped back. Lennox took in a deep breath and calmed down enough for his vision to clear.Lennox stared at the man in the room, recognizing him as one of his father's bodyguards. The door opened and his parents walked in."Where is Sophia?" He asked, his throat raw and his v

The first slash of the blade through Sophia's wrists had her head reeling in pain and she could barely get a chance to scream out her horror, when Jenny dove in with the blade again, the cut so swift and deep that it tore through the zip ties that held her in place and she watched helplessly as her blood spurt out, casting streaks across Jenny's face and soaking her front dress.Jenny pulled back sharply as the door flew and Lennox stood there, breathing hard and clutching at his rib, his eyes scanning the room until they rested on Sophia. His eyes widened in horror as they settled on her slashed wrists, then they swiftly came back to her face. He made to move towards her but Jenny rushed around Sophia, and pressed the knife to her throat, the action alone freezing Lennox in place as he glanced from Jenny to Sophia's and then back to Jenny."Don't take a step closer Lennox." She got out and pressed the knife harder against her throat when Lennox took a step forward. Sophia didn't kno

*****Lennox smiled as he got the door for Sophia who rolled her eyes at him."Careful" he added, once she stepped out of the car and Sophia groaned, her lips forming a pretty pout."Gosh, people would think I got slashed on my leg and not my wrist" she complained and Lennox pulled her closer."I'm going to spoil and pamper you whether you like it or not. If it were up to me, trust me you won't be walking anywhere" he said and Sophia smiled even tho she was trying to frown at him."What are you going to do, carry me everywhere," she asked, her eyes dancing with amusement."Yes!" He answered promptly and she laughed, the sight and sound of it a balm to his heart that hadn't stopped racing in panic from the time he'd rushed in to see her bleeding out to death."Hey!" She called, touching his cheek and he gazed at her, watching her smile. "Stop thinking about the bad stuff. I'm here, with you and I'm not going anywhere"."You swear it," he asked, smiling and relaxing."Cross my heart and
