Saving Sophie: A Novel Novels & Stories

“Understood.” ** Across the city, Sophie stood barefoot in her bedroom, flipping through a file Cruz had dropped off earlier that evening. The numbers didn’t make sense. One of Bruce’s subsidiaries was draining cash in a pattern she didn’t recognize. It looked like a setup, but she hadn’t found the trigger yet. The apartment was quiet. Ryan hadn’t come by. Neither had Isla. She didn’t mind. She needed quiet. After what happened with Ryan on the rooftop.. after the kiss she’d started, the one she hadn’t stopped thinking about since.. silence felt safer.

“I have a duty.” Beta Kingsley studied her, eyes narrowing. “You’re also my daughter.” Sophie exhaled. “Would you tell me if I was a match?” “I’d beg you to think carefully.” He reached for her hand, callused fingers warm. But Sophie pulled back. That night, alone in her chambers, she lit a candle and removed her blouse. She stared at the faded surgical scar on her flank. Long. Jagged. Still tender in the cold. Three years ago. The same day Dylan fell from the cliff.

She yelped in surprise, pressing her legs together and hiding her breasts behind her folded arms. A cold shiver ran up her spine. Shit. Had she forgotten to lock the door? Julian stood before her, the door shut behind him and locked this time. How long had he been here? Did he hear everything? Darn, her fucking libido. “W...what are you doing here?” Sophia stuttered, avoiding his gaze. She had never shied away from her sexual wants or pleasures. But at this moment, curled up naked in front of this man that she had just used to orgasm after less than an hour of meeting him, she felt shame flood through her.

protested Sofia regardless of her mother-in-law's silence. Aurora dropped the coffee and glared at her, she got up and stepped closer to Sophia, giving her a dirty slap.Sophia gasped, her heart sinking in shock. Sophia lowered her head as she bit her lips hard. Her eyes were teary but she was trying her best to stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.

It was already cold. “Zach, stop acting as if you’re loyal. If you have so much time, maybe keep an eye on Cecilia. Otherwise, you might end up being a laughingstock. You’re not welcome here! Out!” Sophie pushed Zach out and shut the door. “Maybe I should seriously consider getting a dog.” Honestly, I thought that Sophie would do just fine as a guard dog. But I did not say it out loud because I was afraid that she would kill me. “Sophie.”

Yet he wasn't prepared to face his wrath at a moment like this, nor wasn't trivia calling him names and passing on blame to him. “They are right, right here.” Sophie whispered. Her fingers were shaky as she pointed over to a little haystack that the kids were in, sleeping. Sophie's lips went dry and pale just as her race was gone, and to make things better, Or rather, her throat and ry, her sight became blurry, and she wasn't certain anymore, if any, if it had been her fault to begin with. All she ever wanted was some rest, some peace, and quiet. All she wanted was sleep, so why on earth did things get so bad for her?

Sophie suddenly stood up just then, shouting and cursing at Calla's back, "Mercer loves me! I was his first woman. What do you have that I don't? You better stay away from Mercer or I'll make you regret it!" Calla turned to see a face twisted with anger and shame. She glanced at Sophie in disgust. She had no desire to engage further with this irrational woman. Thus, she turned to unlock her door. But suddenly, a strange sound came from behind. Calla looked back to see Sophie on the ground, convulsing, her limbs immobile. Her eyes, however, seemed somewhat alert. "What's wrong?" Calla asked in fear, not daring to move her. "I... M-medicine!" Sophie could only utter a single word.

I watched as she turned to look at her home in thought before turning back to me and said, “Alright, and I’ll make you a new deal. Take your shoes off on the porch before you come inside, though.” Before I could say anything else, she walked toward the porch, and I followed her. After I took off my shoes, I prepared to walk into a disaster when I entered the home. Still, despite the mismatched furniture, I was pleasantly surprised to see it looked more like a luxury home inside, and it was immaculate even though only a teenage girl was living there. “I only have bottled water to drink right now, Miss,” Sophia said as she offered me a cold bottle of water.

Raphael indulged her in all her whims and the result of it all is that they had countless of bags on their hands. They decided to rest in a inn to take some tea. Sophia had come to love the tea served in this world. It had a calming and refreshing effect. While resting, Sophia happened to see something suspicious.A man dressed exactly like the man who visited her dreams passed nearby. His movements was swift and Sophia knew that he must be calling her. He was discreet and seemed like he didn't want Raphael to see him. " I'll use the ladies room." Sophia announced and stood to leave. Raphael did not sense anything weird about that and sat down to wait for her. He was sipping his wine slowly.

Harper When I step in, I freeze because Sophia is lying there on the floor with blood everywhere and a big stab wound right in her stomach and my brain shorts out for a second because Sophia was the one who used to sneak me those pills to keep me barren so I wouldn’t get knocked up by Elias and she was the one who whispered about that weird procedure to grow the baby outside my womb so it wouldn’t trap me and I'll be able to kill it and now she’s just bleeding out and not moving and I drop to my knees fast yelling “Sophia? Sophia wake up what the hell happened” but she doesn’t answer and her eyes are open staring at nothing and I feel my chest squeezing so tight I can barely breathe.
