Sofie’s POVI giggled to myself as I read through some memes on the internet while trying to free my mind from the thought of Roman and I sharing a bed tonight.It wasn't supposed to be a big deal because we had both seen each other's nakedness the night before, and we had also fucked like rabbits in heat.So, why was the thought making me restless?I didn't even know how I was supposed to act around Roman now."It's just sleeping together on the same bed, Sofie. Nothing else could possibly happen between the both of you. It'll be fine. Put your mind at rest." I chanted like a mantra to myself as I dropped my phone on the bed and got out of bed.Roman had even included it in the contract that we were only going to be affectionate when it was needed, and I knew he'd definitely not go back on his words and before I knew it, the hundred days would be over and we'd be out of each other's lives. I reassured myself with a satisfied nod as I paced around the room.Then, there was a knock on

Sofie’s POVI walked into the bustling restaurant with quick, confident strides even though anxiety simmered within me. I clutched my handbag tightly as I reached the backroom, and came face to face with the door to my boss' office.“Sofie?” I heard someone call just as I was about to knock on the door. I tilted my neck sideways, and smiled when I saw who it was. “Brian.” I said as he walked up to me, returning my smile with a wide grin. Brian Goshen was also a worker at the restaurant. He was the coworker who I was closest to. “Sofie. Where did you run off to? I've been trying to call you for three good days, yet your line is always busy. What happened to you? Where did you suddenly sprout out from?” He asked as he held my hand. I grimaced before reciting the carefully-rehearsed lie I had prepared yesterday. “Actually, I had an emergency. A family emergency. My parents forced me to go and the place had no reception, so I couldn't take anyone's call nor could I place calls to peo

Sofie's POVI walked closely behind Roman, almost gluing myself to him as we walked into the ginormous expanse of his grandmother's mansion.If I had thought Roman's house to be magnificent, then this mansion was by far grandiose.Even grandiose couldn't describe the medieval-themed mansion, it was opulently breathtaking."You are welcome home, young master." A formally dressed middle-aged man greeted us as we crossed the threshold.Roman handed his coat to the man, "Thanks. Where's grandma?" "She's in her bedroom, sir." He replied.The man who later introduced himself as Daniel made to ease my coat off my body and I just held up a hand and shook my head in calm negation."You are not feeling hot?" Roman's voice rang into my ears as he drew back a dining chair for me to sit.I perched on the chair, "Yes. I'm fine like this." I said, to which he nodded before he scanned the room, and brushed my forehead with a kiss which made Daniel, and the maids setting the table look away, to give

Sofie's POVWhat exactly could he want to see them for? I wondered within myself as the car steered to a half in front of my parents' shabby place of abode.Roman darted me a stare, "Shall we?"I nodded, "Yes." It wasn't as if he cared about my opinion anyway. I thought to myself as we trekked into the house together.Walking inside me anxious as the memories from that day with Mr Alexander Guilon floated into my mind.Roman is here now. I have him to protect me for a while. He won't let them harm me. I reassured myself.As usual, my parents were lazily splayed on the couch together watching a rerun of a Mexican telenovela that Mum was particularly obsessed with.They must have sensed our silhouettes hovering over the entranceway as they both turned their heads around to glare at me in particular, paying no attention to Roman.Mum shot up from the chair, triggered, "You stupid slut. I regret ever giving birth to you. I should have gotten rid of you immediately when I found out about

Sofie's POV"Thanks again for having me, Cara. I'm sorry I showed up unexpectedly and ruined your plans for the day, dear." Nana cast an apologetic stare at me as she rose from her seat, at the head of the dining table."It's fine, ma. I had no plans for the day, so you didn't wreck anything." I reassured her as she slipped a warm, wrinkled hand into mine.Roman was quietly walking behind us to Nana's car, with his hands clasped behind him."Before I forget, let me give this to you." Nana rummaged through the brown leather bag clutched around her wrist, with her gaze trained on me.She handed me a small exquisitely wrapped lilac gift bag, a mischievous smile curving the sides of her mouth, "Here you go." She handed it to me, "By the way, you should only open it when you are alone. It contains something exhilarating that will make your heart race." She winked.I exchanged perplexed glances with Roman but nevertheless, I thanked her, "Alright, Nana. Thank you for the gift.""You're welc
