Forever Yours Novel Sophia And Daniel Novels & Stories

The Married Neighbor Chapter 4: The Breaking Point The final weeks of summer became a beautiful kind of torture. Sophia and I grew closer in secret, stealing moments whenever Daniel was away. A quick kiss in her backyard when he was at the office. A late-night conversation through text that lasted until 2 AM. Once, when Daniel was on a weekend golf trip, she invited me over for “coffee” and we spent three hours on her couch — talking, holding each other, and sharing kisses that grew more desperate with every meeting.

She had been sleeping with my fiancé for months. "How long?" I asked. Daniel sighed. "A few months." The room spun. "A few months?" "That’s not the point," he said impatiently. "The point is, we were never right together. You’re kind, Lena. But you’re... safe and predictable." Sophie let out a small, cruel laugh. "Daniel needs excitement and… passion." My nails dug into my palms. I looked at her. "You were my best friend." She shrugged. "Not anymore."

It was the hardest thing I’d ever done, but I nodded, silently acknowledging his words. “Sophia doesn’t want to be a replacement for any woman in your life,” Daniel said. “She’s done playing second best to your first love, to your business, to your mother, to your current girlfriend Serena… She just wants to live her own life now, Elijah. Right here in Paris without you.” “But she’s not second best!” I argued. “Perhaps that’s what you made her feel. And she’s been sick and tired of it for so long now. Don’t you get it?”

“But what I want to do is make love to you. As you won’t allow that, then this will have to do for now.” Sophia, incapable of further words, simply shook her head, powerless to halt the spreading fires he was so skillfully igniting. Afterwards, Daniel could not understand how it had happened. He was as experienced with women as Felix and had never previously lost control as he did that night. He had intended to do no more than reveal to the perverse woman her own desires and give her some inkling of the pleasures they could enjoy together. Instead, her responses were more than her had bargained for and his own desires stronger than he had been prepared to admit. Daily early in the engagement

A ring. A beautiful diamond ring that sparkled. My heart completely stopped. Just stopped beating. "Kelly," Danny said, looking up at me with so much love in his eyes. Tears were already forming. "I love you so much, Kelly. You are my world. My reason for living. My everything." He took a shaky breath that obviously hurt. "I only want forever with you. Only you. No one else but you. Just you for the rest of my life." He held up the ring with trembling hands.

"That's a specific kind of strength." "Yes," I said. "It is." He closed his laptop. "Alright," he said. "I'll note it in the file." He left. I sat in my office and thought about Sophia in the kitchen this morning sending four lines to Daniel and meaning all of them and then putting her phone down and picking up her coffee and going back to Lena's annotations like the decision had been simple. It hadn't been simple. It had been clear. Those were different things. At ten Zane appeared in my doorway.

Suzan explained. "I will," Sophia agreed. "So talk about yourself are you willing to work alongside Daniel?" With some hesitation at first, Sophia eventually agreed out of loyalty towards Suzan and hope that this could be their last chance at finding a cure "I am ready" Daniel had given her a chance to work alongside him and find a cure for her illness, and Suzan was going to the mountains of purity, she had a new hope.

The lights never came on again but even without them I could tell she was here by the familiar smell of expensive, floral perfume that makes me want to vomit. She stood somewhere in the vicinity of the door and was clearly not alone. I heard at least two other sets of footsteps. "Daniel," Sophia said with a sweet as poison voice, "I am so disappointed in you." "It's over Sophia." Daniel's voice came from my left, "we have everything. The USB stick, the papers, the ring."

Her hand trembled violently before she shoved the doors open. The world inside shattered instantly. Sophia Blake sat on top of Daniel’s desk in a tight black dress pushed halfway up her thighs. Daniel stood between her legs with one hand under her skirt and the other tangled in her hair while his mouth moved against her throat. Nobody moved for a second. Then Daniel looked up. And instead of guilt or panic, annoyance crossed his face. Like she had interrupted an important meeting. Sophia jerked backward immediately. “Oh my God—” Daniel’s hand tightened lazily on her thigh before she could move away.

That night, I lay in his tiny bed, whispering, "Happy birthday, Noah. Wherever you are, be happy." … After the funeral, I finalized the divorce. Waiting at the entrance, Vivian looked at me with a gleeful smile, smugly victorious. "Sophie, I never meant to break up a family," she cooed, feigning innocence. "But Daniel isn't just anybody to me. I really love him, so… sorry about that." She clung to his arm and patted her stomach. "Daniel, the baby's hungry. Let's go eat." She got what he wanted—her chance to marry Daniel.
