Thorne's POVThe boardroom was dileld with important client. I sat at the head of the long mahogany table, my fingers steepled in front of me my expression carefully neutral. Around me too where the board members droned on about quarterly reports, profit margins, and strategic acquisitions. The words blurred together meaningless noise that I'd heard a thousand times before.My mind was elsewhere.Sophia.She’s all I’ve been thinking off the past few weeks, it still feels surreal that we live under the same roof now and that we’re married.How does grandfather expect me to let her go again when I just got her back, how?Hes been breathing down my neck, forcing me into a marriage I didn't want but I’ll make him understand that he can’t force me into someone thing I don’t want."Sir?" My assistant's voice cut through my thoughts. "The board is waiting for your response."I blinked forcing myself back to the present. "The proposal is acceptable move forward with the acquisition."The bo

Sophia's POVThe car ride from the hospital was quiet Lyra's small hand clasped tightly in mine. She was still a little bit but better way better, and finally free from the hospital.I looked down at her pale face her dark curls plastered to her forehead and felt a surge of overwhelming love. She was my entire world my reason for living and now thanks to Mr Sinclair she was going to be okay.I still didn't understand why he'd done it. Why he'd saved her. Why he'd gone to such lengths for a woman he barely knew but I was still so greatful, I owe him my life.The car pulled up to the mansion and I felt my stomach tighten..I helped Lyra out of the car her small body leaning against me for support. She looked up at the massive building, her eyes wide."Mummy is this where we live now?""For a little while baby," I said softly. "Just until we get back on our feet.""It's so big," she whispered. "It's like a castle."I smiled despite the ache in my chest. "I know baby. It's pretty amazi

Sophia's POV"Did you hear about the merger?" Clara asked, her voice low and conspiratorial as she leaned closer her eyes gleaming with the thrill of office gossip. "Apparently Sinclair Industries is acquiring some tech company. Mr. Sinclair is expanding again and rumor has it he's trying to take over the entire city."I shrugged keeping my eyes fixed on the floor. "I don't really follow that kind of thing.""Of course you don't you have enough on your plates… I mean with Lyra and everything." Clara smiled a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "How is she by the way?

I'm so happy for you. You've been through so much.""Thank you

Sophia's POVI barely made it down the hallway before I heard footsteps behind me"Sophia."I froze the voice sharp dripping with barely concealed contempt.I turned slowly Martha was standing there with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed into slits. She was wearing a designer dress that probably cost more than I made in a year with her blonde hair perfectly styled and her makeup flawless. She looked like she'd stepped out of a magazine but her expression was anything but picture-perfect."I know what you're doing," she said her voice low and venomous. "I know the game you're trying to play."I blinked confused. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't play dumb with me." She stepped closer, her heels clicking against the marble floor. "You think I don't see it? The way you look at him? The way you act all innocent and helpless hoping he'll feel sorry for you?""Martha—""You're trying to seduce him." Her voice was sharp, cutting. "You're trying to get your hooks into him
