Alle Kapitel von The comeback of the billionaire heiress : Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

Damien LockeI stood in my sitting room silently. I had carefully shaped Sophia to what I wanted, and now it was time for me to use her against Aiden. All my years I had waited for the perfect time. I would see him shocked and drenched. I finally shocked him. His own ex-wife was standing in front of him, being just as successful as he was. And of course, I was her biggest supporter. But why was my mind not at ease? It felt like I had not done the right thing yet. I sat down on the sofa and turned on the television, and the first image I saw was Sophia. Of course, everyone was in an uproar at the fact that she had become a global name all of a sudden. Her charity is one of a kind, something even the government was not able to come up with. I couldn't help but smile silently. But I felt uneasy. The way she spoke with so much confidence made me understand something important. There were changes in the way I looked at her. For the past year, I had supported her. I had backed her up, clai

SophiaI paced back and forth inside my room as I felt a bit shaken. “I shouldn't have said that to Damien. What would he even think of me?” I know, of course, he would assume that I want to go back to Aiden. “I can't. I can't. I can't even think about something like that. Aiden would never accept me. What's wrong with you, Sophia? Why exactly are you thinking about that treacherous being? After everything he did to you, you think you still have a chance with him?” I questioned myself as I tried to calm my nerves. Thank God I was able to stop Damien from coming, or else he would say everything he had in mind. And of course, he would say some hurtful words to me. “For me ever daring to talk about Aiden and thinking I would ever have a chance with him, it was all out of stupidity, out of imagination. How could I ever go and investigate his new wife? Even going as far as getting her name and information, trying to confirm if he had any children with her. Only then would I lose hope.

Sophia POV At first, I thought all I had just heard was a "pigment of my imagination" and nothing less. But seeing him walk away and the way he smirked at me, I was more than sure of what I had heard. He actually tried to hit on me. After everything he did to me, he had the audacity to still smirk as he said those nonsense words from his mouth. Uttering those words.What exactly does he take himself as? I felt so enraged as I looked at him. He winked at me, adjusting his collar before walking away as Damien looked at me, concerned. "Why are you staring at him that way? What happened?" he said. Immediately, I became a bit frightened. I never realized Damien had even gotten back to my side. I was too overwhelmed by what Aiden had just done. I looked at Damien and quickly formed a fake smile. "Nothing. I'm okay," I said to him, hoping he wouldn't insist on knowing why I was staring at Aiden like that. I tried to distract myself by looking around. Just then, one of the waitresses p

Damien POV Was this really even a gala or just a trap for me and my clients? It seems as if all my clients were parked here, not giving me a breathing space. I can't even be with Sophia, and that alone pisses me off so badly as I clenched my hand, hoping this would be over. "So we will meet in my office, right? You know I came here to have fun actually at this gala, but it seems as though you guys just want to attack me here," I said while making a little laughter at the end to make it seem like a joke, as one of them laughed. "No, we are not trying to actually keep you occupied; it's just that it's very difficult to get a meeting with you. I'm finally seeing you now. We think we also want to be part shareholders in your company. What do you think of that?" she said as I just looked around, trying to find Sophia. She was no longer in the position I had left her. I didn't even know where she went. The last time I saw her, she was picking up a champagne. Where could she be? She coul

Elena povMy life had never been this perfect. I walked into the sitting room, champagne already served by the butler, and of course, time for me to just relax and enjoy everything I can get now that Sophia is out of my way. I sat on the sofa, picked up the remote, and turned on the television. First, it wasn't news; adverts about a huge company. I'm very familiar with this corporation, though. I rolled my eyes and just picked up my phone, scrolling through, trying to find anything I could buy. Or maybe I should just go for a little online shopping spree. I giggled in excitement at the thought of it. It made me so happy. Everything is mine now. She never came back. She never fought. She never wanted it at all. It belongs to me and me alone. That alone made me super excited. But it wasn't just that. Until I heard the familiar voice, I thought I was hallucinating for a second. I looked around. She can never set foot here. After what Mom did to her, she won't even dare. I went bac
