Chapter 71Sophie’s POVThe driver parked the car and stepped out to open the door for me. As I emerged, I took in the expansive hall before me. The walls were painted in rich shades of purple, complemented by crisp white accents that added a touch of sophistication. Bodyguards stood at each corner, and another set of bodyguards or are they ushers stood as they inspect people walking in.I wasn't able to admire the hall finish when a swarm of reporters descended on me."What are you doing here?" one reporter shouted, his camera flashing."Are you here to celebrate Mr. Blackwood’s marriage? Are you happy about it?" another chimed in, pushing closer."How do you feel about him marrying another woman?" came a voice from the back, sharp and accusatory.Before I could respond, four bodyguards broke through the crowd, forming a protective circle around me as they ushered me into the hall."Mrs. Langley claimed you were the one who snatched her boyfriend. Is that true?" The questions were re

Chapter 73 Victoria's POV "Alex?" I muttered, disbelief washing over me. "What is he doing here?" "You know him?" Julian asked, his brow furrowed. I cursed under my breath. In my panic, I had forgotten I was standing right in front of him. Heck. What am I going to say now? "Yes... I mean no." What was I even saying? My mind raced as I tried to formulate a believable explanation. "Then how did you know his name?" Julian pressed, his gaze piercing through me. "Sophie cheated on you, so I found out who she cheated with—it's her ex-boyfriend." My heart raced as I hoped my lie would be convincing enough. Julian nodded, seemingly satisfied. By this time, Alex had made his way past Sophie’s table and was heading directly towards me. Panic surged as I searched for Jaxon, but he was nowhere to be found. Had Jaxon saved Alex after all? Was there something I didn’t know? As Alex got closer, I sensed danger. His eyes bore into mine, and I felt like a deer caught in headlights. What if he

Chapter 75Sophie's POV"Why did you not want to stay here again?" I asked Evelyn as we stepped out of the car, and they also got out from the car they had entered. Julian, my love, had been busy planting kisses all over my body during the drive, showering me with affection that made even the driver chuckle at our antics. At one point, Julian had playfully barked at him to mind his business, which only made us laugh harder. Evelyn just said she wouldn't be coming in with us."I want to give the new couples some happy moments together," Evelyn explained, her cute eyes sparkling."No, Evy! I want us to catch up," I pouted, crossing my arms in a mock display of annoyance."I'll still be around for two to three days, and I promise to visit each day," she reassured me. "But for now, I promised Grandpa I would spend a few days with him. You can also visit us; I'm sure Grandpa would be eager and happy to see you.""That's a promise, oo," I said, a smile breaking through my pout. Evelyn nodde

Chapter 77TWO MONTHS LATER Sophie’s POVEverything has been going smoothly for the past two months. Julian and I have grown closer than I ever thought possible. He treats me like I’m delicate, like an egg, always careful and attentive, and honestly, I feel pampered in a way that makes my heart swell.Alex has come by countless times, begging for forgiveness, but I’ve turned him away each time. It wasn’t until recently that I finally found it in me to forgive him. As for Victoria, she’s been sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempted murder as a first time offender. It’s a harsh reality, but it feels like the right outcome for everything that happened.Evelyn has returned to school, and I’ve been visiting Julian’s grandfather more often. He’s a charming old man with so many stories to tell. I love listening to him reminisce about his younger days; it brings a warmth to my heart. On top of that, Isabella has been stopping by at least once a week, which has been a bright spot in my

Chapter 79Victoria's POVA DAY AGO"Is it true you'll really release me?" I asked Owen, the warder I had been forced to interact with. We were at the corner of the yard where I had been assigned to cut the grass—a task I absolutely detested."Yes, that's if you will let me have a taste of you," he replied, his voice low and dripping with an unsettling desire. Ugh... the smell of him was repulsive. Smelly brute. I couldn't bring myself to stoop so low as to entertain the thought of fucking mere warder. Nah."Okay, but we can just meet after I am released," I suggested, trying to keep my composure as I stepped back slightly, putting distance between us.He nodded eagerly, his eyes glinting with something I found both pathetic and revolting. I had noticed his wandering gaze since he was transferred here a month ago. It had been a desperate gamble to flirt with him, but now it seemed to be my only chance for escape. "Yeah, but how would we meet?" he asked, leaning closer, his breath mak
