Keefe And Sophie

My best friend Sophie and I went into labor the very same night. I watched her switch out the two infants with my own eyes, but I did not tell a single soul. For the next decade, I fed, clothed, and raised a daughter that was not mine. On the day the two girls turned eighteen, they received their college offer letters at the same time. One got into an ivy league school, and the other, a community college whose name I had not even heard of. I had never seen Sophie so happy in my entire life. Grinning from ear to ear, she whipped out the DNA report she had been saving for this very moment. "Thank you for raising my daughter to be the valedictorian that she is today. It's time she returns to her mama. As for this good-for-nothing scum… You can take her back!" I sneered. "Very well then." She had no idea what was coming.

« Madame Dubois, êtes-vous sûre de vouloir changer votre nom ? Après le changement, tous vos diplômes, documents et passeport devront être mis à jour. » Sophie a hoché la tête : « Oui, j'en suis sûre. » L'employée essayait encore de la convaincre : « C'est assez compliqué de changer de nom à l'âge adulte, et puis votre nom actuel est si joli. Vous ne voulez pas y réfléchir encore un peu ? » « Ce n'est pas nécessaire. » Sophie a signé le formulaire de consentement : « Merci. » « Très bien, donc le nouveau nom que vous avez choisi est... Céleste, c'est bien ça ? » « Oui, c'est ça. » Céleste, comme s'envoler vers le ciel.

Mein Ehemann Tobias Schmidt liebte mich abgöttisch. Alle sagten, er sei der perfekte Ehemann. Doch er hatte mich dreimal verraten. Das erste Mal war vor drei Jahren. Sein bester Freund Lukas Klein starb, um ihn zu retten. Ohne mein Wissen heiratete Tobias Lukas’ Freundin Sophie Lange. Völlig gebrochen wollte ich gehen. Noch in derselben Nacht brachte er Sophie außer Landes, kniete dann vor mir nieder und flehte verzweifelt: „Mia, Lukas ist meinetwegen gestorben. Ich muss mich um seine Witwe kümmern. Diese Heiratsurkunde ist nur eine Absicherung für Sophie. Sobald ich Lukas’ Tod gerächt habe, werde ich mich von ihr scheiden lassen! Die Einzige, die ich liebe, bist du!“ Diesmal verzieh ich ihm. Ein Jahr später verkündete Tobias auf einer Pressekonferenz öffentlich, dass Sophie die Ehefrau des Familienoberhaupts sei. Er erklärte mir: „Sophie ist die einzige Tochter der Mafiafamilie Lange. Durch unsere Allianz wollen wir Lukas’ Tod rächen! Ich habe mit ihr vereinbart, dass wir uns scheiden lassen, sobald wir die Mörder zur Strecke gebracht haben – dann heirate ich dich sofort!“ Und ich glaubte ihm wieder. Vor einem Jahr wurde er auf einem Empfang unter Drogen gesetzt und verbrachte eine Nacht mit Sophie. Er verschwieg mir die Wahrheit, bis ich ihn vor zwei Wochen zufällig im Krankenhaus sah, wie er sie bei einer Schwangerschaftsuntersuchung begleitete. Er senkte den Kopf, wagte nicht, mich anzusehen, und sagte leise: „Mia, das war ein unglücklicher Zufall. Sobald das Kind da ist, schicke ich sie weg. Meine Eltern werden sich um das Baby kümmern. Sie werden dir niemals begegnen!“ Unter dem Vorwand der Liebe brachte Tobias mich dazu, immer wieder nachzugeben. Doch nun wusste ich, dass es keine Zukunft mehr für uns gab. Es war an der Zeit zu gehen.

Aku adalah Isha, putri dari bos mafia nomor satu di Sisilia. Sejak kecil aku selalu memberontak. Ayah takut aku suatu hari bertindak gegabah dan menikah dengan orang yang tidak pantas, jadi dia langsung memberi perintah bahwa aku harus bertunangan dengan Luca, pewaris Keluarga Marino yang sedang naik daun. Meskipun ini pernikahan politik, setidaknya aku ingin memilih cincin yang kusukai. Oleh karena itu, aku menghadiri lelang keluarga mafia. Saat cincin permata penutup acara ditampilkan, aku mengangkat papan penawaran. Palu lelang bahkan belum jatuh ketika suara wanita yang arogan terdengar dari samping belakangku. "Gadis kampungan sepertimu berani ini menyaingiku? Empat miliar! Kalau tahu diri, cepat keluar sendiri." Tempat itu langsung hening selama beberapa detik, hanya terdengar suara rana kamera yang pelan. Aku menoleh dan melihat seorang wanita mengenakan gaun haute couture berwarna emas. Senyum santai menggantung di sudut bibirnya, seolah seluruh ruang lelang adalah panggung pribadinya. Belum sempat aku bicara, juru lelang sudah tergesa-gesa mengetukkan palu. "Terjual! Selamat kepada Nona Sophie yang berhasil mendapatkan cincin utama 'Bintang Abadi'!" Alisku mengerut dan amarahku membuncah. "Belum selesai dilelang sudah bisa diketuk? Tempat ini aturannya buruk sekali." Sophie berbalik dengan tatapan tajam, menilikku dari ujung sepatu hingga puncak kepala. "Aturan?" Dia mengejek, "Sayang, aku ini Sophie, adik angkat Luca, pewaris Keluarga Marino. Di sini, akulah aturan!" Aku tak bisa menahan tawa. Kebetulan sekali, Luca adalah nama tunanganku. Aku segera mengambil ponsel dan menekan nomor yang sudah kuhafal. "Luca,'adik angkatmu’ baru saja merebut cincin pertunanganku. Kamu mau gimana?"

I stare at the email on my screen, unable to move my fingers. Tomorrow is our company's crucial product launch, and I just learn that the patent for the algorithm I spent three years developing is now filed under Matthew Ashford's new assistant, Sophie Bennett. I storm into Matthew's office to confront him. Sophie sits on his desk with her legs crossed, looking completely innocent. She claims that she filled out the form by mistake. "It's just a clerical error. The patent still belongs to the company. What's the big deal?" Matthew stands up from his chair, positioning himself in front of Sophie. I can't believe what I am hearing. "Matthew, this is my research!" "Emma, you're thirty-five. Why are you picking a fight with a twenty-three-year-old intern?" He frowns. Then, he turns to Sophie. "Starting tomorrow, you're the new CTO. Emma needs… some time off." I'm utterly stunned. A decade of marriage and five years dedicated to building a company together have been shattered by a few casual words from him. Thirty minutes later, Sophie posts a photo on social media of herself sitting on Matthew's lap. They are both clinking champagne glasses. "So lucky to have the best boss ever. I'll make sure to be his loyal kitten." Below that, Matthew leaves a comment—three red heart emojis. I shut my laptop and pick up my phone. "Hello. Is this Mr. David Langley from Novara Group of Sundale Valley? This is Emma Whitmore. I've changed my mind. I'm ready to join you." I pause. "And by the way, about that unreleased algorithm upgrade, I have the complete technical blueprint. Make me an offer." Later, I fly to Tallisport with an eight-figure check in hand, while Matthew goes frantic trying to find me.

In the second month of my relationship with my best friend Sophie Vaughn's older brother, Elias Vaughn, Thanksgiving arrives. Sophie leans in, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Elias is bringing his girlfriend home for the holiday. Let's see what all the fuss is about." I take my time getting ready, heart fluttering with hope. Just maybe, I'll finally be formally introduced as his girlfriend. But the moment I step inside, I see him with another elegant, beautiful woman, smiling as he introduces her to his parents. "This is my girlfriend," he says. He then inadvertently looks over at me, stiffening for a moment, clearly caught off guard. But just as quickly, he recovers and turns to the woman beside him. "That woman over there is my sister's friend and a part-time student. You could say she's a maid in our household." A maid? As it turns out, I'm nothing more than someone for him to kiss and sleep with. I was never someone worthy of standing by his side publicly. I turn away and board the train back to Ashcroft University, choosing my future over another night in his bedroom.
