You don't have to

SOPHIA Aiden placed the already made meal before me in our kitchen. We shared a look as he picked the cutlery and handed it over to me.“Come on, love. You told me you would eat if I did what you wanted” He coaxed and I took the cutlery from his hold.“Yeah. I clearly remember the promise I made” I said while staring at the sumptuous food he'd just prepared for only me and yet, I felt no urge to even taste it. I was moved by the loving gesture he'd made for me but that couldn't change the emptiness I felt. All the chaos that had been surrounding me from the moment we crossed paths again had finally caught up with me and now, all I could feel was emotional exhaustion. I was sick. I was fed up with all of it, but most of all, I was livid. I was angry that I'd let this go on for too long and gave the enemy too many chances to mess me up before realizing I'd had enough but by then, it had become too late.Two lives had been lost. Two people who were special and meant a lot to me and

Does seeing this makes it better?

SOPHIAImmediately those images of Damien meeting with criminals on many occasions made its way to the media, he was taken in by the police for questioning and investigation. The public was watching closely so it didn't matter if he had a close relationship with the commissioner of police or not, he was getting fucked up.Now that his partners had seen the sort of man he was, I doubted they would want anything to do with his company anymore. No sane person would want to taint their reputation so the expected thing would be to cut ties with him.My mind kept reeling with so many possibilities as I watched the news with keen interest. Then I heard Aiden clearing his throat behind me and I turned around to see him standing at the foot of the staircases leading up to the rooms.“Does seeing this make you feel better?” He asked me while leaning against the wall and I nodded my head, happy to see he kept his end of our deal.“Yes. Thank you” I told him but he shook his head as he pushed hi

I love you

SOPHIA“We're moving from here. At once” Aiden announced once the door closed behind us and I paused.“What?” I asked surprised and he turned around to look at me. “You heard her, Sophia. You heard what Elena just said to us. Doesn't that make you want to leave here for our safety?” he asked and he was right. From the moment she told us to watch our backs, I started to wonder if it was safe to remain in this house when she wasn't so far away herself.It would be easy for her to watch us and remaining here would only make things easier for her. She could do whatever she wished to us and have it framed as an accident. My eyes fell on Aiden's wet t-shirt while I remained quiet. Then I held a hand up while walking toward the stairs.“Gimme a sec. I'll be back” I told him. Then I left for our room to get him a new t-shirt and when I returned, I handed it over.“You're soaked so you should wear this one instead” I told him and he took his wet t-shirt off before taking the dry one from my

Anything to make you happy

SOPHIAI heard the doorbell ring and I flinched, my heart skipping a beat with fear. Then my phone began to ring and it was Janet. “Hey. Is there any problem at work that you need me for?” I asked her after receiving the call. I frowned when I heard the sound of my doorbell ringing from the other side and I wondered if she was the one.“Are you… outside my house?” I asked her another question.“Hello, Miss Hale. Yeah, I'm outside as we speak. I came to check on you” she answered and the tension I felt disappeared once I knew it wasn't Elena who had come to cause another scene.“Okay. I'm on my way to get you” I told her and I ended the call. Then I rushed toward the door and pulled her in before leading the way to the living room. We both sat on separate sofas and I watched her take her bag off her shoulder before she looked at me.“So… I came to check on you. In case you need anyone to talk to” she said and I narrowed my eyes in return.“Did Aiden put you up to this? It feels like

Wherever I choose

SOPHIAI joined Aiden as he ate and he glanced at me while he chewed. “I can tell you're thinking about something. What is it?” he asked me. I sighed while shrugging my shoulders.“I don't know. I just keep feeling the strong desire to leave this place for a while. My heart craves for a different environment and I need it for a few days to feel free” I told him how I truly felt and he frowned. “You didn't enjoy the time you spent with Janet? You can be honest with me” he asked worriedly but I quickly shook my head because what I just said had nothing to do with Janet. “Of course not. Janet is nice and I always enjoy hanging out with her. I just feel… suffocated. I need something different—just for a moment” I answered and he smiled while he swallowed. “So… when I talked about that trip, I told you we would go wherever you wanted, Sophia. So tell me, darling. Where do you want to go? I'll make it a seven day trip so you can have all the time you want to feel better.”I smiled when

Always my priority

SOPHIAThe next morning, Aiden and I were ready to leave for Tuscany. We had our luggage all packed and his men had them taken to the car.We arrived at the airport in no time and the plane was all set and waiting… along with the pilot who looked very eager to exchange pleasantries with Aiden from the moment we both stepped out of the car.All the luggage was taken into the plane and soon, we were flying. I couldn't hide my excitement as I looked out the window and Aiden's voice suddenly came from behind me.“You're red, Sophia. Anyone can tell how excited you are” he whispered, teasing me and I flinched before turning around to look at him.“Aiden! You frightened me” I giggled and he kissed me on the lips.“You're laughing so I don't think you were frightened that much” he whispered again, his lips now mere inches away from mine while we kept eye contact. I gave him a look once I realized he wasn't going to move back. Then I tried to push him away but he didn't budge and his eyes s

Out of the neighbourhood

SOPHIAThe time spent in Tuscany was perfect. It was a seven day trip, spent all through with Aiden by my side… Until we had to return.Aiden was already getting calls from the company's executives and I, on the other hand, knew I couldn't leave Janet to run the foundation for too long.Some donations came in only if I was the one to receive them so my absence was going to have its effect if I was away for too long.While our time away from the chaos back home was romantic and endearing, it eventually had to come to an end. We would have to return to our reality… to the war we were fighting to win.The morning we were to return felt slow and different and I knew why. I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to return to the troubles that awaited us but at the same time, I knew they couldn't be avoided.Aiden and I had no choice but to face them head on until the end.So together, hand in hand, we walked to the car after the guest house's staff had our luggage taken to the car. The chauff

She is innocent, Elena

SOPHIAMy consciousness slowly returned and I let out a heavy groan as my throat burned. I could tell I was seated on a chair and surprisingly, my hands weren't even tied up.Cautiously, I peeled my eyes open to see where I was and winced when a surge of bright light flooded my sight and burned my eyes.Memories from the car started coming back to me as I remained seated and I remembered vividly what happened before I passed out. The driver. The syringe he'd punched into my neck before everything went dark.I was either drugged or sedated. I couldn't tell which it was. All I knew was that I couldn't move my body. It felt like I was being controlled by someone else and it freaked me out so much that my heartbeat sped up with fear.I groaned out loud as I tried to move my hand but nothing. It was a futile attempt as my body remained heavy and immobile.I heard someone snicker at that moment and I didn't need to be told who it was. I would recognize that snicker no matter where I was.T

I don't know what you are talking about

AIDENI got out of the car once it came to a stop in front of the building and rushed inside. The call Gia gave me was very distressing and I just knew something was wrong.I couldn't tell Sophia that because I didn't want her to panic. We'd literally gone on a trip to keep her calm after the tragedy so why on earth would I want to ruin that from the moment we returned. I believed it was best she went home while I secretly resolved whatever was going on. So I had a driver take her while I left for the company. I kept shaking one foot as the elevator went up to the first floor. The moment the doors slid open, I ran out, eager to find Gia and I did find her… except I was too late.She laid there, pale skinned, lifeless and eyes wide open with horror. There was no blood so it was obvious she was poisoned and I didn't even have to figure out who did it.There was an envelope in her hand and it had the logo of Damien's company. I went on my knees to have a long look at Gia while she lai

Have a seat

AIDENI spent the night in the station, locked in a cell. When morning came, I was taken to the commissioners office to see him in person and he was smoking a cigarette when I was dragged into his office still fully cuffed.“Have a seat, Aiden. Let's talk” he didn't bother exchanging pleasantries with me as he gestured toward the chair beside me but I didn't do as he said.There was no way I was going to sit with a man who had a hand in Sophia's disappearance. He took one glance at the officer behind me and I was forced to sit down even though I didn't want to. Unable to fight back, I let them push me down until I was seated.Then the officers walked out and it was just me and the commissioner. His eyes were narrowed as he stared at me while releasing smoke from his mouth after taking a puff from his cigarette. “What did you bring me here for?” I asked him and he put the cigarette out before leaning toward me.“I want you to let Damien be. If you do that, I'll talk to him and we'll
