Semua Bab Chasing Sofia : Bab 61 - Bab 70

SOFIAI wanted to actually tell him how I felt. What I was thinking too. But there was something holding me back. It was the fact that I always acted bold, independent and other attributes of a woman of steel. I didn't want him to see that vulnerable side of me. Not now, not ever. I was sure if I started to tell him what was wrong and how I was dealing with it, I would cry.And I wasn't dealing with it nicely. No, I felt like breaking down and I wanted to cry. The scrubbing and the bathing I had in the bathroom wasn't enough to wash away the irritation I felt within me, towards my boss, towards everybody in that company in general. I found everything very repulsive and talking about it would make me cringe.With these emotions in me, all I could utter was, "I need some time to process everything," I just told him, though it feels like a feeble excuse. I wish I could be more honest with him, to let him in on the turmoil that was brewing beneath the surface, threatening to burst out of

ALEX The conversation I had with the private investigator made me feel a little at ease. With what he had and what he was going to find, I was sure it would be complete and would ruin Sofia's boss. It would teach him some valuable lessons not to mess with people again. You never know who's the right people and the wrong people.Now, he messed with the wrong people and it was time to show him who is the boss. I plan to see him rot in jail. To see him lose all he ever accumulated in the wrong ways.I don't intend to allow him to spend perhaps a day or two, a week or two in police custody, I intend to extend it to a five years minimum and ten years maximum and I will make sure he loses a lot while in jail.I made my way through the office. My head kept on bringing ideas. I have to quickly formulate a plan and begin to coordinate with the team to track down her parents' murderer. I wanted to ensure that those who did this faced the full force of the law and that they would never be able

SOFIA It was time to go home. But I wanted to just sleep here.It was the last day at work and I had my laundry to attend to. I wanted to clean the house, make myself a large bowl of soup and read some books.It wasn't like I was tired. I wasn't really working that much, but I felt so stressed particularly today. I always leave home by 7am and I return before 7pm. I don't do much at my workplace. It was just like I went there to have fun. I eventually decided to open my eyes after I closed it for a while. It was cold and I felt empty. As I stretched and yawned, my eyes landed on the beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on my bedside table. They were the ones Alex, my new boss, had given me two nights ago when we went out for dinner. A warm smile spread across my face as I remembered the lovely evening we had spent together.Remembering this, I can't believe that I was smiling. It's like I've known this man forever and the way he came into my life, I felt brand new. He not only help

SOFIA I wasn't sure how long I've been dreaming. The dream was just like the one of the damsel in distress. In this case, she wasn't in distress, she was calm. She was in a serene environment. She was like Snow white, and that woman was me.I found myself sitting in a serene environment, surrounded by the beauty of nature. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace coursing through my veins. It radiated all through my being and made me feel so alive. This was a dream, and I don't want to wake up from it.And it was all because of one man - the man who entered my life and changed it for the better. He was like a prince, sweeping me off my feet and bringing a sense of calm and tranquillity into my world, giving me that life I always wanted.His presence was like a breath of fresh air, his kindness and compassion shining through in everything he did. He had a way of making even the most chaotic moments feel serene, and for that I was eternally grateful.In his eyes, I found solace. In his wo

SOFIA I still stood for a while as he apologised. Somehow, it made me feel like he was my husband. That felt good and bad at the same time. I was beginning to see Alex as more than just my boss and my friend. So many imaginations running in my head. I've thought about what it would look and feel like as a mother, but I haven't thought about how it would feel like living with a husband.And this time, I imagined Alex to be my husband. He is my boss, and also my friend. How would it feel like being married to him?I pictured us spending lazy Sunday mornings sipping coffee on the porch, discussing our plans for the day. We'd go for hikes in the mountains, laughing and joking as we navigated the trails. We would do what he loves and what I love. We would cook dinner together, share stories of our day as we chopped vegetables and seasoned the meat. In my mind, it all seemed so effortless and natural, as if we were meant to be together in every way.I thought of what sex would be like. Th
