CHAPTER TENSOPHIEI groan as I stretched my body, shielding my eyes from the bright light coming through the window. I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep. Contrary to what I wanted, I was perched by the window the whole night, waiting for my so called husband to return, but he didn’t. What was I even expecting?I sluggishly got out of bed and freshened up, then I headed downstairs, ready to devour whatever the chef had prepared for breakfast.But on the last step, I looked up to see Dominic sitting at the head of the long dining table, a cup of coffee in his hand and his phone lying facedown on the table. “What are you doing here?” I asked before I could stop myself, storming into the dining room to meet him.But Dominic didn’t answer. He just stopped eating and gave me an obvious look that said, “The last time I checked, this is my house.”I cleared my throat awkwardly and gently took a seat on the other end of the table, “Good morning,” I muttered as a maid served me breakfas

CHAPTER ELEVENSOPHIE“Are you ready, ma’am?” The driver asked me to which I responded with a nod, then I got inside the car. The drive was quiet and I could feel the driver’s eyes on me through the rear view mirror but I didn’t care.My mind was occupied with thoughts of her. Would she want to see me? Or would she treat me like an absolute stranger? The thought of her ignoring me made me feel sick to my stomach.“We’re here, ma’am,” The driver’s voice broke my line of thoughts.“Oh,” I looked around, and indeed, we were at the pack. It was obvious that he was confused about why I would ask him to take me to the park, but unfortunately for him, he couldn’t ask.“Wait for me here, I won’t be long,” I said, getting out of the car. I took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air, hoping it’d calm me but my mind was a mess. I pushed all the negative thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand.I walked further into the park, occasionally glancing back to be sure that Dominic’s driver was

CHAPTER TWELVE SOPHIE“You went to the park?” Dominic asked me over dinner, making me pause, gripping my fork tightly. He wasn’t asking a question. He wanted me to tell him what I went to do, that I knew.“So?” I tried to sound casual as I stuffed my face with the medium rare steak. “So what did you do there?” He asked, and a part of me told me that he could easily find out why but he chose to hear it from me instead.I sat straight, squaring my shoulders, “Can’t a girl go out to enjoy some fresh air?” I stared at him ridiculously, “I didn’t realize that this marriage and being in jail is basically the same thing, Hayes.”A muscle in his jaw ticked but he continued calmly, “You should be grateful that I let you go out.”I stared at him like he said something stupid, because in truth, he had, “You must be joking. You can’t do that!”“Try me,” he arched his brow, showing me that he could do whatever he wanted.“You’re—“ My words were cut short by the sharp ringing of his cellphone. H

CHAPTER THIRTEENDOMINICI couldn’t say I hadn’t known. Jesus, it was why I'd always tried to keep my distance from her. I'd known she would trip me up. Though, as much as I wished I could blame my fuckup on the fact trouble followed Sophie wherever she went, I knew that had nothing to do with it. When she was close, all I could focus on was that she smelled like temptation. Like something I wanted to worship and degrade at the same time.She'd just had to prod that one spot, that one weakness of mine to make me lose my grasp on control. She'd been right about my mother. I could only imagine the look on her pretty face if she knew I'd been the one to put the bitch out of her fucking misery.I hadn't given myself up in over seven years. Seven years down the drain because of one goddamn woman. I might as well have built an empire from scratch at that time.The next time she spoke back to me, I just needed to shut her up in a way she wasn’t going to forget. The image of her, on her kne

CHAPTER FOURTEENSOPHIE“Since you gave her full custody of your child, then it’ll be difficult to get her back, except she lets her go willingly.” Said the attorney, making me slump in my seat.After Dominic had left for work this morning, I made the driver take me to the attorney’s office. I didn’t bother lying, I just made a mental note to tell Dominic that I wanted to start the full process of Ethan’s and my divorce. But that wasn’t the case, at least not yet. My main goal was to get my daughter back.The attorney must have noticed how I look, so he added, “If we play it right, we can get your daughter back.”“Thank you, Mr Maxwell.” I said, standing up, “I’ll be back, and please…” I looked straight at him, “Please, this is our little secret. At least until I have full custody of her, my ex husband can’t know.”If Ethan was to find out about this, then everything would be absolutely ruined and I’ll lose to him a second time.“I understand,” he said, already on his feet, then he sh

CHAPTER FIFTEENDOMINICI watched Sophie play around with her dinner, her mind obviously elsewhere. The fact that something else had her attention other than me infuriated the hell out of me. She had barely touched her food, barely even spared me a glance. Whatever it was that had her deep in thought, was already an enemy of mine.“You thinking of ending the marriage, already?” I asked, putting a neatly cut steak in my mouth.“Huh?” She finally stared up at me, looking confused. “What do you mean?”I gently dropped my fork and leaned back against the chair, carefully studying her, “You’ve barely said a word since you sat down and you haven’t eaten anything. Is the food not to your liking?” If she didn’t like the food, then I’d have to painstakingly let go of the chef. Even to me, it was weird showing so much attention to someone other than myself. But this was what Sophie had turned me into. I knew more than what was acceptable about her. I knew her even more than the back of my hand

CHAPTER SIXTEEN SOPHIE“I’ll call child protection services on you!” I snarled, my chest heaving with rage, my fists balled so tightly that my nails bit into my palms.Judy only laughed, the cruel sound grated on my nerves.“I’d like to see you try, Sophie,” she sneered, stepping closer until I could smell the sour alcohol on her breath.“But once you do that…” Her eyes gleamed with malice. “Ethan will know about his daughter. And you’ll lose everything you’ve worked so hard for.”My stomach twisted violently.Behind her, Mira sat small and crumpled on the bench, her head bowed low, as if she could shrink into nothingness.“Please,” I choked out, my voice cracking. “Don’t do this. I’m begging you.”I should have known better.Judy smelled my desperation like a vampire smelling blood and she attacked.“Give me more money!” she spat, and lunged for my bag.I fought back instinctively, clutching it to my chest. But Francis, her bloated, vicious husband grabbed my arm and twisted. I gasp

CHAPTER SEVENTEENDOMINIC“Dominic!” I watched as Sophie’s eyes widened in shock as she looked up at me. “W..what are you doing here?”I regarded her calmly, taking in her expression. It was easy to notice her unease. “What are you doing here?” I threw her question back at her, watching how she fidgeted as she tried to come up with a response.“I—“ She awkwardly scratched the back of her neck, her eyes darting around the place but not at me, “I…” She looked up at me, then she began shifting from foot to foot, “Dominic…Dominic, I really need to pee,” she blurted, backing away before I could respond. What was that?I watched her flee like I had a deadly disease and I let out a quiet huff, more amused than anything. It was clear Sophie was up to something but it wasn’t the time to go after her. I had a meeting to attend to.“Mr Hayes, this way please,” The contractor gestured towards the clearing, and I followed him. I listened to his talk about how it’d be a great spot to build a mall

CHAPTER EIGHTEENETHAN“This was in the mail for you,” Stella said softly as she pushed open the door to my home office, her arms wrapped around a brown envelope like it was something too delicate to handle roughly.“Leave it on my desk,” I gestured without turning, still on a call by the window.“I think it’s… important,” she murmured, not moving. Her voice was quiet, too quiet. “I checked the sender. It’s from… Sophie.”Sophie?My hand stilled. I ended the call without another word and turned to her. “Sophie?”She nodded slowly, lowering her eyes like it hurt her to say the name. “I found it in the mail just now. I thought maybe…” she trailed off, brushing invisible dirt from her sleeve, “she might be trying to reach out to you. Maybe she regrets everything. Maybe… she misses you.”I walked to her and took the envelope from her hands. “Was she here? Did she say anything?”“No,” she said quickly, “just the envelope. But Ethan…” she hesitated, wringing her fingers like she was conflic

Chapter 0019

CHAPTER NINETEEN SOPHIE Ever since I bumped into Dominic at the park, I’d avoided him like the plague. I hated to admit it, but I was scared, scared of him finding out about Mira. I wasn’t sure how he’d react, and I wasn’t ready to take that risk. I glanced at the clock. A few minutes past ten. Dominic would probably be at work, perfect time to sneak down for breakfast. I quickly freshened up and padded toward the stairs, stomach grumbling in protest. But just as I rounded the landing, I froze. Dominic was there. Midway up the stairs. Black polo, grey sweatpants, phone in one hand, the other gripping the railing. He stopped when he saw me. For a heartbeat, neither of us moved. His eyes locked onto mine, sharp, unreadable. My breath hitched. Why was he even here? “I thought you were at work,” I said, clutching the railing tighter. “It’s Saturday,” he deadpanned, like I’d just insulted his intelligence. “Oh.” I scratched the back of my neck, awkward. Silence stret
