Sonia Nevermind Novels & Stories

She suddenly began rummaging through her shoulder bag, dumping everything out impatiently until she finally found her phone. “I’ll call your teacher. You’re hiding at school, aren’t you? “Ms. Selena Swift, is Cassie with you? “N-no, it’s nothing. I was just asking. “Okay. Sorry to bother you.” After hanging up, she called many more people. “Did Cassie come by today? “My daughter…” “Have you seen…” Her voice shifted from clear to hoarse, until at last she stared blankly at her phone. I didn’t know how much time had passed when a siren blared across the entire compound.

“Together. For once, we don’t run. We stand. And we protect what’s ours.” Her eyes met mine, and something shifted their resolve threading through the fear. She gave a small, fierce nod. But the fragile peace broke when Sonia’s phone buzzed on the bar. She picked it up, eyes searching the screen, and her face went pale. “What is it?” I asked. She turned the phone toward me. The title glared in big letters: “SONIA VALENTITHE FALLEN HEIRESS: HOW ONE WOMAN LOST HER EMPIRE TO A CRIMINAL’S HANDS.”

"I'm not letting anyone who hurt you walk away." Relief hit me hard. I ran my hand over my belly. Thank God. I'd kept my baby safe. Then the door slammed open. Bradley burst in, shirt wrinkled, eyes wild. "Rena, I'm sorry! It's my fault. Vivian fainted—I had to take her first!" I looked down, silent, my fingers brushing Nathan's palm. So much for that amnesia act—he'd just called me Rena. "I'm done listening. Leave. I don't want to see you again."

She was the one who had promised to order it for me. I waited over two hours, and all that anticipation amounted to nothing. Furthermore, she turned it around on me. I scrolled further back. "Babe, it's almost midnight. Valentine's Day is practically over. Where's the surprise you said you had for me?" "I forgot to change the shipping address. It went to Grant's. I'll make it up to you next time." I could not pinpoint exactly when it had started, but at some point, every exchange between Linnea and me had become exactly this.
