Alex was silent as he watched her. He didn’t know what to say—or rather, he did. He just didn’t think saying anything in this moment would make Sophia understand. She stared at him, anger glinting through her usually soft eyes. Sophia let out a dry laugh and took another step back. The more she moved away, the more he felt the distance between them widen. How exactly was he supposed to make her understand that he couldn’t just sit back? He had tried—tried to keep his promise to her. But the moment he heard what was happening in the conference room, he simply couldn’t stay out of it. “I told you not to,” she repeated, perhaps urging him to say something. But he only watched her. After a moment, he let out a deep breath, ran a hand across his face, and admitted softly, “I couldn’t sit back. I need you to understand me, Sophia.” Sophia felt her throat tighten, and she turned silent. Then, shaking her head, she shoved aside any reasoning he might have had, choosing instead to act

Despite Sophia’s earlier refusal, she ended up allowing Alex to drive her home. She couldn't bring herself to say anything after what he had said. The drive to her place remained completely silent, except for the occasional directions she had to give him. Finally, they arrived, and he drove through the gates of her house. The car slowed to a stop in the driveway, and Alex turned off the ignition. Sophia turned to him. “Are you coming in?” Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Shouldn’t I?” Her eyes flicked to his, and she pressed her lips together. A guilty feeling climbed up her throat as she realized how heartless it would be not to let him at least come inside to see Aiden and Adeline. Without another word, she simply picked up her purse and stepped out of the car, making her way toward the entrance. Alex took her silence as a ‘yes.’ As soon as he stepped out of the car, he clicked his tongue, his face twisting in pain. He shifted his suit aside and pressed a hand to

“It’s not as bad as it looks,” Alex said calmly, trying to button up his suit, but the way he shifted his stance gave him away. She realized he was in pain—had been for a while now. Sophia’s eyes flicked back to his arm. “Take off your shirt.” His brows lifted slightly at the demand, but when she stepped closer, giving him a serious look, he sighed and obeyed. He pulled off the suit completely, and as soon as he did, a gasp left her lips, and her worry increased. His fingers went to his buttons, working them open, revealing smooth, taut skin beneath. Or rather, it should have been smooth. Instead, her eyes landed on the bandage wrapped around his lower abdomen. It was stained red, damp with fresh blood. Sophia inhaled sharply. “Alex.” He glanced away, as if not wanting to see the look on her face. “How long have you been bleeding like this?” Alex didn’t answer immediately. In fact, he didn’t know what to say, standing in front of her glare. “Since we got here,” he

Sophia felt something tight settle in her throat. Alex’s stare on her didn't make things better. But after a long moment of nothing but silence, she slowly nodded. The only reason she had wanted to brush it off as a mistake was fear that he might. If he had said that, it would have hurt her more than she’d like to admit. A deep breath escaped her lips, and she ran her fingers through her hair as nothing but silence filled the space between them. Her eyes flicked to his, and she watched the way his shoulders sagged in relief. He looked like he had been worried about what she’d say. The air between them softened. Only a little, but enough to feel it shift. Her gaze dropped to his abdomen, and she looked up at him to catch him still staring. “What did the doctor say?” She asked him after a moment. Alex unconsciously brushed his fingers across his suit. “He patched it up. And told me it'll be fine if I don't cause a strain on it.” He watched her quietly, before adding, “Don't worr

“Mom?” Sophia called out in shock as her gaze returned to her mother, who was staring at her with a smile.“We were passing by the hospital and wanted to check up on you.” As sweet as that sounded, Sophia would have believed it if it was just her mom, but with her dad present too, she couldn’t believe that they both came all the way here just to check up on her.But rather than say anything, she simply swallowed the lump stuck to her throat as both of her parents looked past her and noticed the person sitting on one of the couches.Her mom’s eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise before speaking up, unable to hold back the shock boldly written on her face, “Alex is here too.” She didn’t say it as a question; instead, it was a surprised statement. She was beyond surprised and didn’t look like she had any intention of hiding her shock.Unlike her mom’s reaction, her father barely showed any emotion on his expression, but Sophua did notice the shock that crossed his eyes too.Unable to
