Always A Better Replacement

Sofia's POV“Are you done embarrassing me, Sofia? Because I’m done.”That was the first thing I heard as I stepped into the living room, still peeling off my heels and still thinking about how badly my back hurt and how all I needed was a cup of tea and five quiet minutes.Instead, I got a stack of papers thrown right into my face. Literally thrown.. not tossed and definitely not handed. Thrown.“What the... Santoro, are you crazy?” I joked, grabbing at the papers on my chest before they fell. They fell anyway.“I’m not taking this anymore,” he said in a cold and calm voice. Calm in that annoying way he always used when he wanted to feel powerful.I stared at him at his curly dark hair and those stupid soft dimples that once made me blush. He stood there like he was the injured saint of the house. Meanwhile I was standing by the door, smelling like office printer ink.I dropped my bag on the couch and bent down to gather the fallen papers. “What is this nonsense?” I mumbled, flipping

Consequences

Sofia's POV“What the hell?” I shouted into the phone once I recovered from my first shock.My mother repeated herself with her own voice shaking. “I said your father collapsed today. In a board meeting. They rushed him to the hospital… Sofia, the doctors just told me he’s been sick for a long time with something very serious and they think it’s… life-threatening.”My stomach flipped. “What? No… no, Mom, what hospital? Tell me the address. I’m on my way now.”She gave it to me and before she even finished speaking, I was speeding down the street like a mad woman. My hands were shaking on the wheel with my vision a little blurry from everything that had happened today. I didn’t even realize how fast I was going until I heard sirens behind me.“Oh, great,” I muttered. “Of all days… of course.”I slowed and pulled over. A police officer walked up to my window, ready to lecture me and then he froze.“Wait… you’re Sofia Esteban,” he said.“Yeah,” I nodded wearily. “Yes. I am.”His eyes w

The Unexpected

Santoro's POV“Drive safe, okay?” I said as I leaned down and planted a kiss on Lucia’s lips.She giggled, full of herself like always. “Of course. And tell your mom goodnight for me.”She climbed into her car, waved like she was Miss Spain and then drove off while I turned back toward the front door.The moment I stepped into the living room, my mother clapped her hands together like she just won bingo.“Well done, Santoro!” she said proudly. “You finally got rid of that Sofia girl today and I’m so proud of you, my son.”I dropped onto the couch, feeling like someone had knocked the air out of me. “Yeah… great.”She frowned. “Oh, not this long face again.”“Mom,” I sighed, rubbing my forehead, “Sofia… she really did a lot for us.. for me, personally and you can’t deny that.”My mother rolled her eyes so hard I thought they’d fall out. “There you go again! Always soft! Always emotional! I don’t know why you act like this. You’re a man, Santoro. A strong one. Stop thinking with you

Hate And Revenge

Santoro's POV*TWO MONTHS LATER*I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling like it owed me money.It's been two months.. two whole months since the divorce… and the accident… and the coma and now the doctors were whispering about “maybe discontinuing oxygen support.” That phrase alone made my stomach twist every night.I let out a long breath.Two years.. For two years Sofia and I had tried to get pregnant. Two years of tests, doctors, stupid herbal teas her mother forced on us, weird positions from some YouTube lady with a questionable accent but nothing… absolutely nothing.Then suddenly the doctor told me she had been pregnant. A week old and because of that stupid accident… it was gone.I pressed my palm over my eyes and my chest hurt like someone sat on it. I must have closed my eyes for only a minute because the next thing I felt was a sharp slap on my chest.“Wake up,” Lucia snapped.My eyes flew open. “Jesus, woman...”“Oh, please,” she cut in, rolling her eyes. “Are you sti

The lost child.

Sofia's POVI looked up at her abruptly and froze, watching her face crumble before me. My emotions were all over the place, and even though I have no idea what she had to say, I could tell it was something I wasn't going to like. “I don't want to hear it.” I flinched and threw my face away. “Sofia…” she reached out for my hand, but I jerked her hand off. “I just don't want to hear it, mom.” It felt weird calling her that, but I guess I'm going to have to get used to it somehow.“You need to hear it, sweetheart. Whether you like it or not. It's one of the things that will help you regain your memory.” Her voice sounded soothing, and my eyes laced with tears as I heard her speak. “Please honey, for the sake of your father and your family who loved you very much. You must remember who you were. It's important for you and all of us.” She insisted, and I shut my eyes, feeling defeated. “Fine! What is it? What happened to me? Who was I, and why did I have that horrible accident?” I su

Fragments of memory.

Sofia's POV When my eyes jolted open, it was all dark and gloomy. My head throbbed with a pounding headache, and I held my head in my hands as it felt like it was going to explode. “Mom!” My voice called weakly. At this point, she's the only one who seems genuine and trustworthy. “Sweetheart, you are awake.” She gasped, and I heard some noises. Before I could ask any further questions, the lights in the room came on, and everything came into view. “Are you okay? Is anything wrong? Do you need me to call any of the doctors?” She pressed, and I shook my head. “No! I'm fine, it's just a slight headache. What happened?” I changed the topic immediately, and my mother sighed. “Well.. you had a really bad episode. The doctor said it's common with patients of retrogressive amnesia. You had a huge accident, and the impact was really bad.” My mother took my hand into hers and explained. “You just need to be patient with yourself and be calm. The doctor promised everything would retu

The will reading.

Sofia's POV Immediately, the video stopped. Everything went blank and dark. My mom rushed to turn the lights on, and it flickered. My head spinned for a second, and my eyes flashed with voices popping up in my head. A pounding headache hit me like a wave, and I clutched my head in my hands as the hammering pain spread through my body, making me shiver. My head exploded in pain with memories that seemed too familiar, assaulting my head and slashing through me like a sword. “Aaahh!” I groaned in pain.“Sofia…” my mother rushed towards me, but I didn't pay attention to her. A man's face popped into my head, and my face crumbled. It was the same man I had just seen in the video. The man who claims to be my father. His face was twisted with anger, and he was barking at me with so much rage. “No! No!!” I tried shaking the memories off, but they kept coming like a flood. “I warned you. I told you that man would bring you misery, but you said you loved him. Love.” “Look at you now.”

Physical weakness.

Sofia's POVThe hostility in Julian's voice made me shake to my bones. The hatred in his voice was undeniable, and I wondered what I ever did to him in the past to warrant such hatred from him. My eyes searched for his, blurred with tears but at the same time seeking answers. My lips parted to speak, but nothing came out from my mouth. My throat choked with my words, and I looked at my mother, hoping she unravelled this mystery. “Julian please enough! You can't keep doing this to your sister.” My mother yelled at him, but that got him even more furious. “No mother, you can support her all you want. But I'm not going to accept it. This is insane! Father must have been delirious when he made this godforsaken will.” Julian retorted. “This crippled girl can't even help herself to the bathroom. How the hell is she supposed to run a multi-billion dollar company?” He scoffed with his fingers on his temple.“I'm taking this court. I will toil every legal process required, but I'm not goi

Returning home.

Sofia's POV The black customised SUV drove into an all white mansion draped with golden marbles and designs. I stared out the window, feeling confused and amazed at the same time. Mother had arrived this morning at the hospital, suddenly declaring that she was taking me home. I was reluctant at first and insisted I wasn't coming with her. Knowing fully well, it's the same house that my brother Julian lives in. And with my amnesia still intact, I wasn't willing to risk living such a ridiculous life. But mother persuaded me eventually, stating it was better for me to be in the environment where I had grown up, since it will juggle my memories and help me regain them.And since I'm determined to have my life back and put things in place, I decided to take the chance and come here. “We are here!” My mother announced with her voice laced with excitement. One could tell she has been wanting to welcome me home for a very long time. I wondered why I ever left in the first place? I've he

Julian's Resentment.

Sofia's POV The maids flinched, drawing back in fear. My fist clenched in anger with sweats dripping down my body. One of them walked back to me slowly and touched my arm.“Miss Sofia. Is there something you need? If you don't like the food, I can have the chef prepare you something else.” She asked each question carefully and that made me even angrier. “I said enough! Stop it! Stop it” I yelled at her with my eyes darkened. My eyes caught sight of the vase on the drawer close to me. I grabbed it and smashed it on the wall causing a loud noise. The maids immediately retreated from me and couldn't dare to look at me in the face. “Stop treating me like a freaking child! So what if I have amnesia? And if I can't walk? Is that enough reason to treat me like some doll?” I yelled at them even more. “I have hands, and I can eat my own food. I can clean my face and wear my clothes. Just stop it, all of you get the hell out of my room! Get out!” I screamed. My chest heaved in anger with
