Chapter 32: Sophisticated WomanSofia POVI woke up in the morning because of the sunray touching my face. Did I oversleep? I asked myself as I yawned. I looked for my phone to see what time it was, and it was still early.I went to the bathroom and did my daily routine. As I finished showering, I put on my white blouse and black skirt three inches above my knees. I quickly fixed my hair because maybe he was already in the dining area now.When I reached the dining room, he was nowhere to be found. My brow slightly furrowed. Where did he go? I planned to go to his room, thinking that he may still be sleeping, but then it was locked.I went to his garden, but he was not there. That’s why I decided to go to the dining area, and all I saw was a note. Oh, I remember he had a meeting today.“Your breakfast is ready. If you are reading this, I’m already out of town. I’ll be back tomorrow.”- MarcusI just nodded and started eating. When I arrived at the company, the first one I saw was Jaspe

Chapter 34: New Girl Sofia’s POV I let out a sigh. I need to forget how Marcus’ mom insulted me. I don’t want to lose my mind. Gosh, she’s very mean. I wish I could do the same. But yeah, I should really don’t think about it. Besides, that’s nothing to do with me because I’m just his fake wife. Maybe she’ll be happy after six months. Because her son will be single again? I smirked at that thought. Rita kept on saying sorry to me in the office, but I told her that it was okay and her words wouldn’t affect me at all. She just wasted her money, but I told Rita to get it. She wanted to refuse, but I told her that she could use that money to help people in need. What I experienced from his Mom was nothing compared to how my aunty and her daughter treated me. That’s why I’m used to that kind of treatment. Besides, all that she said was true. I’m just nothing. I don’t have fame and money, and I agreed with what she said. Sometimes, wealthy people are good at insulting others' feelings.

Chapter 36: He KnowsSofia POVI told Rita that she should not mention what happened here in the office yesterday. Unfortunately, she told Marcus everything that happened to him when he got back here. I pouted. I don’t want him to know.“Your mom came here yesterday, Mr. Sterling,” she started to say. I tried to stop her by shaking my head, but she didn’t listen to me. I pouted. Aside from the fact that he doesn’t want his mother here, I don’t want h“What did she do here? Did I tell everyone she’s banned here?” He seemed mad right now. I bit my inner lips.“I’m sorry, Mr Sterling. I tried to stop her, but she’s too furious.” I told her that it was okay and she didn’t have to mention it to Marcus.“What did she do?” His voice was calm yet serious. Rita told him about what happened but not the whole story. He seemed furious. He looked at me after he found out everything his mother had done yesterday.“Why you didn’t tell me this morning?” He asked me. His voice held concern, but I cou

Chapter 38: Don’t Leave HimSofia’s POV“I went to her house and confronted her,” he admitted. I would be lying if I said I’m not shocked. I didn’t expect him to go there to ask her. What? Is that the reason why he left angrily?I still don’t understand it, but he really doesn’t want his mother to see him. Or the other way around. He’s the one who doesn’t want to see her there.I didn’t talk. I just looked at him, still confused and shocked at the same time. Wait, why is he even mad? Is he angry because his mother insulted me, or is it because of his anger towards his mother?“I wanted you to know I hate her. She’s the reason why my sister and I can’t have a whole family. She betrayed and abandoned us for that bastard.” I can hear sadness and disappointment in his voice. I understand him, and now everything is clear. He despised his mother for not being responsible.She abandoned them for her pleasure. But I can’t pass any judgment on her because of what he said. Anyone can make any m

Chapter 40: Bad Luck Sofia POV “I haven’t met your parents, Sofia,” Mandy said while eating popcorn. We are watching movies, and Marcus is here. I don’t know if he’s here to watch or to sleep. His eyes were closed. Mandy and I were sitting together while Marcus was on the other couch. “My parents? They were in space,” I said, trying to hide my loneliness by smiling. Her brow furrowed out of curiosity. Don't tell me she didn't get it. “What do you mean? Are they astronauts? That’s great. I also dreamed of being one, but then I changed my mind because it's kinda scary," She said, and I just laughed because of what she said. “ They are not astronaut Mandy. They are gone. Long gone," I said, laughing softly. Her eyes widened. “ I’m sorry, I thought –” she's looking at me with pity in her eyes. She feels sorry. She should not. I held her shoulder and made her look at me. “Don’t be sorry. I already accepted the fact that they were gone. Anyway, if you want to talk about my life, y
