SOPHIA “Breathe darling. You look so pale, our competitors would think you're shivering in your pants out of fear” Damien joked while we remained in the car.We'd already arrived at our destination. I was watching our competitors get out of their cars through our tinted glass and I was secretly hoping I wouldn't run into Aiden.“Then I hope they think I'm scared. So they would assume I came unprepared…”“Only to be surprised when you win. Right?” Damien chuckled and I smiled.“Bingo” I confirmed his words. He took my hand to get my attention and I finally looked away from the window to face him.“You know you've got this right? You have no reason to be scared or intimidated” he whispered before kissing the back of my hand and I internally squirmed.“I know Damien. I'm not intimidated” I lied to his face because I did have a reason to be intimidated… not scared. I yelled at Aiden. I poured all my grievances toward him that day in his house. The house that was once ours and I had no i

SOPHIA As expected, I won the project for Locke's Empire and our competitors groaned and mumbled as they walked out of the conference room after accepting their loss.Only Aiden was unaffected but Isabella looked like she was about to explode. I bet she thought that showing up would guarantee their win. If only she knew who I was now.“Come with me, Sophia. We have to keep that fucker until the police arrives” Damien told me after we'd signed the agreement for the project. He didn't give me the chance to say a word. He only grabbed my hand by the wrist and pulled me out of the conference room, leaving Aiden and Isabella back there. “Show me the balcony” he demanded once we were a distance away so I led the way until we were at the spot where the all nerve wrecking incident happened to me and I was surprised to see the man was still knocked out.Was my kick that hard?My phone suddenly beeped and I pulled it out to see it was a message from Aiden. I quickly turned the other way so D

AIDENMorning came faster. Maybe it was because I couldn't sleep.Against my will, I found myself worrying about Sophia throughout the night. Did she have dinner or not? Did she sleep peacefully or have nightmares? Was she having panic attacks or not?All these questions kept running through my mind as I stared blankly at the ceiling. But I couldn't bring myself to reach out to her. The things she said to me back in the living room the day she passed out kept resonating in my head.And to say I felt guilty would be an understatement. All along, I never thought I'd hurt her that much. Seeing how much she'd grown a year after our divorce made me think she didn't take too long to recover from our separation. I never knew she was in so much pain. Silently hiding it away from plain sight. Only until recently when she lost her temper.I heard a knock on my door and I snapped out of my drowning thoughts. Then I turned my alarm off before it would ring and headed toward the door. Opening i

SOPHIAAiden sat beside me once I began to eat and he handed me a glass of water when I looked at him.“How are you now? After what happened yesterday… Are you feeling any better?” he asked but I didn’t reply. The longer I looked at him, the more I wondered what was wrong with me. What on earth was I thinking? Why did I let my ex husband into my apartment and even allow him to make me breakfast?Was I so desperate for someone’s care and attention? I didn’t care if he claimed to see me as a friend. That wouldn’t change the fact that we were once married and he suddenly left me for no reason.“Sophia. Sophia, can you hear me?” he asked, pulling me out of my thoughts and I blinked.“I don’t think you should be here, Aiden. Maybe you should go” I said out of nowhere and his face fell in shock. He surely didn’t see that coming.“All of a sudden? What’s wrong, Sophia? You can talk to me” he asked white leaning toward me with his hand held out to touch mine but I was quick to inch away befo

SOPHIA The next morning came and I woke up before my alarm rang. Considering how eager I was to get to work after spending a day doing nothing.I couldn't stop humming to myself as I dressed up and when I was done, the thought of waffles came to me. So I headed to the kitchen to make some and I kept remembering how Aiden gracefully used my kitchen like he owned it the previous day.I quickly shook my head to get rid of thoughts about him the moment I started to imagine how he'd look without the shirt he wore.Then I started to return the ingredients to make waffles back and decided I would have pastries from a cafe on my way to work.Since waffles now reminded me of Aiden, it was best I stayed clear for a while until I would be over the image of him stuck in my head.I locked my door before heading to the parking lot and I got into my car. Then I stopped at the nearest cafe to have breakfast and left for the foundation. Getting there, I was puzzled to see Elena's car parked outside
