Sophie My body trembled violently on the cold floor as the poison burned through my veins. I can't believe I have been poisoned. And by the man I had always loved and the best friend I treated like a sister. My eyes were barely able to focus as I stared at them with hatred which burned through me as severe as the poison was. They were both smiling. "Wh-Why?" My voice was barely a whisper. But it was clear enough for both of them to hear me. Piper moved closer, her lips curled with disdain as she looked at my body shivering on the floor while she stood over me. Her red heels stopped inches beside my head. "Tsk...tsk..you poor thing. Did you think Lucas would love someone like you? You are just a nobody if it weren't for your family" Then she glanced at Lucas, who also moved closer now. I watched in disbelief as his hands wrapped around her waist and he kissed her forehead lovingly. Then he glanced at me. The usual softness I always thought I saw whenever I looked at him was gon

Sophie I stopped walking when I got to the garden and took a seat on one of the chairs. She sat opposite me. I gave her a fake smile "Indeed, it was Cassio who gave the order, not me. You know I would never deny your entry to the house" She seemed to calm down after that and I smirked inwardly. "So, about the fundraiser we are attending today. Are you still going? Because you aren't dressed for it" She looked at my attire before shaking her head in disapproval. "The event is very important because it's going to help lots of animals over the country" She said but I knew the real reason the event was created. It was all a front anyway, a polished excuse to drain money from the wealthy and funnel it into Lucas's growing empire.. I would never be part of that anymore. I held my head as if in pain "I drank too much last night and still hung over. You can go alone for today. I need to sleep in" Piper shot out of her seat in anger and when I raised a brow at her, she sat back while g

Cassio “Boss, your wife is here" My assistant informed me as he stepped into my office. “She is?" The words slipped out before I could mask my surprise. I hadn't expected her to actually come. Sophie wasn't exactly known for keeping her promises, at least, not to me. “Where is she now?”I asked, already rising from my chair and moving around the desk. “In the lobby. She said she didn't want to come up without your permission.” That.. didn't sound like her either. The Sophie I knew would have barred in like the owner of the place. Though, she's part owner as my wife. “I'll go get her”I said, grabbing my suit jacket. The walk to the elevator felt longer than usual. My mind kept circling the same thought, she was serious? She had mentioned wanting to work in my company, yes, but I assumed it was just another passing whim. When the elevator doors opened to the lobby, I saw her immediately. Sophie stood near the reception desk, dressed simply but elegantly, her posture straight,

Sophie “Come again, dear” Sienna said, her voice warm in a way that would have been unimaginable just days ago. I smiled “I will. Thank you for having me.” Her fingers briefly closed around mine, gently. Cassio stood beside me, silent, but I could feel the weight of his attention. Not on his mother. On me. Suspicion suited him. It would help him in the long run. “Take care of yourself” Sienna added. “I always do” I replied softly. That much was true even when it didn't look like it. We said our final goodbyes and made our way to the car. The moment the doors shut and we were alone, the warmth I had worn so easily slipped away. Cassio started the engine, but didn't move immediately. “You've successfully charmed her”he said at last. I turned my head slightly.“Is that a problem?” “Yes.” I almost laughed. “Why?" I asked, genuinely curious. “Because it doesn't make sense" he replied flatly. “You don't go from hating someone to suddenly being friendly wit

Sophie By the time the afternoon settled in, the office had changed. Not in any obvious way. The same people were still at their desks, the same quiet tapping of keyboards filled the space, the same muted conversations drifted from one corner to another. But the energy was different. It was sharper and more restless. Maybe it was because they had gotten used to my presence or rather, they decided to let me be. Either way, I could feel it. And I quietly wondered which of them worked for Lucas. If they had told him about my presence yet. “You're doing it again” Emmy's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I glanced sideways at her. “Doing what?” “That thing where you look like you're about to solve a mystery no one else knows exists” I almost smiled. She's oddly perspective. “Maybe I am.” She laughed softly.“Should I be concerned?” “Not unless you've done something wrong.” That made her laugh a little louder this time, earning a few looks from nearby desks.
