Sophia’s Point of ViewThe rain began to fall just as I stepped out of the hospital. I stood under the awning, unsure if I should wait it out or just run to the car. The cold droplets seemed like nature's way of echoing the storm already brewing inside me. Everything was spiraling faster than I could hold together.Leo was awake. That should have been good news—amazing news, even. But something about the way he looked at me, the way his eyes lingered as though trying to remember who I was, shattered something inside me.What if he didn’t remember us?The door behind me opened, and I instinctively moved aside. Dr. Ferris stepped out, holding a clipboard, her expression unreadable.“Mrs. Donovan,” she said.I turned. “Yes?”“We ran some additional scans. There’s no physical damage to Leo’s brain, but… memory loss can be tricky. It’s not always permanent, but sometimes… it is.”Her words felt like ice water dumped over my skin.“So, he might never remember anything?” I asked, voice trem

Sophia stood at the window of her room, her eyes tracing the trail of raindrops sliding down the glass. The storm outside mirrored the one raging in her heart. For days, she'd felt it building — the silence between her and Roman, the cold glances, the weight of unspoken words.She had thought they were past the pain, past the betrayals. She had hoped that love would be enough.But love, she now realized, wasn’t always the cure.The door creaked open behind her, and Sophia turned to see Roman step in. He looked tired, his eyes shadowed, his jaw tense. He had barely spoken to her since the revelation of Jenner’s return — and even less since Steve's sudden silence.Sophia crossed her arms, her voice tight. “We need to talk.”Roman didn’t flinch, but he didn’t come closer either. “About what?”“About us. About Jenner. About Steve.” Her voice cracked slightly at the end, but she stood tall. “You’ve been distant. I deserve to know what’s going on.”Roman’s silence stretched between them lik

The sky over the city was an ominous gray, thick with heavy clouds that loomed like an approaching storm. Inside the penthouse of Roman’s towering estate, the atmosphere was no less tense. Every second ticked with a thunderous weight, as if the universe itself was holding its breath.Roman stood by the glass wall of the living room, staring out at the sprawling city below. His hands were clenched into fists by his sides, the veins in his arms bulging slightly from the effort. He hadn't spoken a word in the last ten minutes—not since receiving the call that had changed everything.Steve was pacing behind him, glancing at his friend with concern etched deeply into his features. “We have to act now,” Steve urged. “If we wait any longer, we might lose her.”Roman turned slowly. “Do you really think I’m just going to sit here?” His voice was low, controlled, but thick with rage. “They took her. Right under our noses.”“She went alone, Roman,” Steve said, trying to steady him. “She didn’t w

The night air hung heavy with tension as Roman stared at the city lights from his penthouse balcony. The world was moving, yet everything inside him felt frozen. For the past few weeks, things had spiraled faster than he could control. Jenner had stopped returning his calls. Sophia barely looked him in the eye. Steve had moved out of his apartment without a word.Roman felt the weight of his decisions pressing on his chest like a boulder. In trying to juggle the complexities of his life—his company, his relationships, and his emotions—he had lost control of everything.The sound of his phone vibrating snapped him out of his thoughts. He picked it up, hoping it was Jenner.It was a message from his lawyer.“Your hearing has been rescheduled. Make sure to gather all character witnesses by Thursday.”He clenched his jaw. The custody hearing for Leo was just days away. His ex-girlfriend’s family had suddenly shown interest in the boy they had abandoned, leveraging their influence to chall

Sophia stared out the window of the moving car, her fingers absentmindedly brushing the fogged-up glass. The early morning sun was barely peeking over the horizon, casting a dull glow over the city streets. Everything around her seemed quiet—too quiet. But inside her, a storm was brewing.She hadn’t slept much. Not after the confrontation last night.Roman’s words still echoed in her ears: “You betrayed me, Sophia. You lied to me for months.”And she had. Maybe not with malicious intent, but the truth was undeniable—she’d kept secrets, and now everything was unraveling.“Where to, ma’am?” the driver asked again, his eyes meeting hers through the rearview mirror.Sophia swallowed hard. “Just… drive. I’ll tell you when to stop.”The driver gave a hesitant nod and pulled into traffic.She leaned back in the leather seat and closed her eyes, but peace wouldn’t come. All she saw were fragments—moments she couldn’t forget.The first time Roman had smiled at her.The first night he held her
