Chapter 221

Sophia's POVThe sound of the waves was the only sound that existed.A constant, soothing rhythm, erasing the echo of the car engine, the sweet, suffocating smell, from moments ago.Michael didn't ask. He just held on. His arms were the harbor after the storm, and I sank into them, letting his familiar scent – soap, clean cotton, and something that was just him – wash away the rest."He let me go," I whispered against his chest, my words muffled by the fabric of his shirt.I felt his chin rest on the top of my head. "I know. I saw.""How?""When you didn't show up… I knew. Only one person would do something like that. I ran outside, asked the guards. One saw a car heading towards the old beach road. I followed my instinct."He pulled me back just enough to look into my eyes. His hands framed my face, gentle, reverent. "Are you okay?

Sophia's POVMichael had his arms around me, his hands resting on my waist, my face pressed against his chest. We weren't dancing anymore.

Without a dirt-stained dress, I hope."I laughed, a sound muffled against the fabric of his suit. He had changed his disheveled shirt for a clean one, but the wedding suit had been left behind, lost in the chaos. We were both a little undone, a little messy.

Alexander's POV The darkness on the back road was almost absolute, broken only by my headlights, cutting through the night like a blunt knife. The sound of my car engine was the only noise, a low rumble echoing in my ears, keeping pace with the rhythm of my own guilt.I had left the beach hours ago, after seeing Richard and the woman heading down towards the sand. I had run, shouted, but they had disappeared into the tree line before I could reach them. The helplessness was a bitter taste in my mouth. Warn the police? What would I say?
