SOPHIA I kept checking my phone every minute but still, I heard nothing from Damien. It was finally time for the proposal conference to win the third contract but he was nowhere to be seen. Our competitors were all present and seated. Except for him.Soon, the board members walked in and I looked up to find Aiden watching me closely but I quickly looked away because I didn't want to keep eye contact with him.The last time we spoke to each other was that morning in my kitchen. Inside my apartment. I wanted to say it felt good to hurt him with my words, just the same way he hurt me too. But a part of me felt guilty.At the same time, I couldn't bring myself to apologize. I didn't even want to. Because it would mean I was admitting I was wrong and I didn't think I said anything wrong to him that morning.So he would have to get over it on his own… or chose to not speak to me again. Whatever suited him, I didn't care.I checked my phone again to see if there was anything new from Dam

SOPHIA“I should help you get inside before I leave. Come on” I told him after pulling the car key out. I got out first before walking over to the other side and he had the door open already. I gave him my shoulder as a support and he leaned in before I helped him out. With that, I shut the door and helped him into the house. Then I sat him down on the couch and left for the kitchen to have a glass of water.I returned with a glass of water for him too and he smiled gratefully before taking it. “Clara isn’t home right? I don’t think it would be nice to have her see the injury you’ve got on your arm” I asked him and he shook his head after he was done drinking the water.“Thankfully, she isn’t home. We’re cool” he answered and I sighed in relief before taking the empty glass from him. I returned it to the kitchen before joining him in the living room and he had his eyes closed.Wondering if he was asleep, I walked closer and leaned toward him to be sure. But then he suddenly opened h

SOPHIA I didn't go to the office right away. I left for my apartment first because I needed a change of clothes. That was if I didn't want anyone to question where I was the previous night.I had a quick bath, wore the first dress I'd picked in my closet and held my hair in a ponytail. A little application of makeup later, I was ready and after wearing my shoes, I returned to my car and left for work.I kept thinking about the previous night with Aiden. That kiss and how good it felt. What would have happened if he hadn't fallen asleep. And I wondered if I would have let him have his way with me, if it had escalated from just kissing.To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would. I still didn't know what we had going on, I had no idea where to place him in my life and I was lost at what to do now that I was fraternizing with the same man I partnered with Damien to destroy.My thoughts were all over the place. My head was about to explode with questions, fears that couldn't be said sank d

SOPHIA My hands shook on the steering as I drove myself back to my office. When I arrived, I didn't say a word to anyone. I rushed into my office and locked the door but I couldn't concentrate on anything. Every word on the papers before me seemed to blur away and I couldn't stop thinking about what I saw.Elena and Damien, seated in the same room without me. Something had to be happening. Maybe they'd made a shady deal… or maybe Elena was up to something. With hidden motives.I dipped my fingers into my hair and pulled when the thoughts became overwhelming. I wanted answers. I wanted clarity. But I wasn't getting any and I was feeling frustrated. I groaned as I laid my head on the table. I remained that way, feeling unmotivated to move an inch or work. Then there was a knock on my door and I raised my head to see it was Janet. “Hey” she called quietly before taking a seat. It was obvious that she knew I wasn't in a good mood and I wondered what gave me away.“Hi, Janet” I return

AIDENI shut my laptop once I was done with the meeting I'd been rescheduling all these while. Stretching as I got out of my chair, Clara walked into my study without bothering to knock and she ignored me when I gave her a look.“I heard about the attack that happened…” she began. But then she stopped talking and turned around to face me.“Sorry I didn't come earlier. I had these classes that I couldn't skip” she added.“I would have been mad at you if you had skipped any class just to come and see me because a phone call would be more than enough to know if I'm alright” I told her and she rolled her eyes at me.“I know. That is exactly why I didn't miss any classes of mine” she defended, causing me to chuckle. “Come on, let's get you something to eat since you just got here” I told her. Her eyes brightened up immediately. “Yes! Ugh, I'm starving” she groaned dramatically as we both made our way out of the study together and we both laughed when we shared a look.I led the way to t
