However it was Sofia’s that was beaming.Today was her first day as CEO or whatever title Benedict had bestowed upon her. It meant change, one of the many in the past couple of days. As she unlocked the door, she was hit with the soft moist smell of coffee as well as an echoing silence.Victoria made her

Sofia made her way to the kitchen counter, the first person she saw was Cynthia, preparing breakfast. Her hands clenched the two buttons of her oversized tshirt as she let out a yawn."Good morning, Cynthia" She called out and her mother in law lifted her eyes to her. "Morning Sof" There was the flash of a smile across her lips."Where is Oscar?" Sofia asked, having woken up to already see him gone. The truth was after a few hours of staying up last night writing more than a couple chapters for her new book, Sofia finally slept by five AM. It meant she didn't get until nine, which was later than when Oscar left."Oh he's already gone to the hospital, I followed him with Malik. The doctor advised he come early as they need to prep for his first surgery" Cynthia said and Sofia's lips fell wide open for a brief second."Today?" She ran her hands through her hair. "No, tomorrow" Cynthia replied, catching a glimpse of the guilt in her eyes. "You know he saw you were asleep, he was the one

"Have you told mum?" Sofia went ahead to ask the obvious question and by the silence that fell between them, it was clear that she had not."Yeah about that...I wanted to come to you first because of the whole divorce you know" She said. "Yeah, yeah""I think we should tell her still" Sofia suggested and by the way Vikky nodded, it was clear that it wasn't her intention to hide anything from Theresa, which somehow led them to sitting across each other on the couch a few hours later. "You want to see your father?" Theresa echoed her daughter's words, pushing a hard lump down her throat and Vikky nodded. "It might sound ridiculous but if I don't even remember these things happening to me, why should I go ahead to hold a grudge that would only hurt me and Sof told me how she thinks that he's finally changed now.""She thinks he's different and I want to see him with my eyes and hear if he has anything to say. I preach so much forgiveness for myself not to take that same advice" Victoria
A Deal With Mr. Baron Eighty-Five: A Blast From The Past.
The chilly rush of air breezed into Sofia’s face and through her hair, swaying it left and right across her shoulders. In case she drifted so far, the distinct scent of pharmaceuticals and the rapid beeping of the heart monitors both far and near were enough to remind her of where she was.She stood with her arms crossed in front of her, reminding herself by taking deep heavy breaths to calm down. Today was the day of Oscar’s first surgery which was a bypass graft procedure undoubtedly the most important and complex of the three he was recommended.The doctor might’ve said a million words to Sofia about how this was to repair the damaged blood vessels around his heart, both narrowed and clogged to improve his blood flow so it betters the chances of the trial working but it didn’t stomp her anxiety. It could be good but then again, she was well aware of the risks to know that it could also be terrible.So she stood still and even her deep breaths didn’t work so much. No one knew the am

It had even a really long time since we last saw him, rock bottom and fresh out of jail all while being handed divorce papers from his long term partner but just like everyone else, a lot had changed for him.And even more had come into perspective, like realizing how bad he’d been through the years, to Theresa, to Freya and then to Sofia.

“It’s been four hours” A voice echoed from behind Sofia and it wasn’t until she turned around that her eyes fell upon Damien. His hands slipped into his pocket with an elongated gaze right next to her. She threw a look over her shoulders though she still clung to the stairwell.“It’s you” She happened to mutter plainly before he raised his hands into the air. “Well I’m no doctor,” Damien teased. “But I brought you a sandwich and a cup of coffee” He stretched out his hands and while her eyes to it, there was the ghost of a smile that made it across her lips.“I’m not hungry” Sofia heaved but by the look in Damien’s eyes, she didn’t have much of an option but to cave in, taking the food from his hands. Though she sipped the coffee, she kept the sandwich aside and for a brief moment, there were comforted by the shrouded silence between them. That was before Sofia suddenly piped up after a few minutes.“Thank you by the way” She said.Damien folded his arms with a shrill nod. “For this as

There was always something so terrifying about nightmares. Especially for Oscar and so that was why when he plunged his eyes open, only to find out that he was surrounded by an impaling darkness, the first thing he did was scream at the top of his lungs.The atmosphere was cold, sending a chill up his spine so much that he shivered. The hollow halls returned an echo of his voice as well and he was too afraid to move even an inch forward. He hated the darkness, he wasn’t scared or, although there was something quite eerie in the air.He just hated being lost and in that moment, he was.But that was until a shrill whisper crept up behind him and Oscar sharply turned around. He could swear that someone was here, was close to him but alas, when he threw his head over his shoulders, there was no one. Maybe now was the right time to get scared.His hands fell to his side, feeling the crisp texture of his scrubs and as he moved forward, the noises were all he heard. It was hard to move with

As Sofia stood there, she couldn’t even utter a single word. Her whole mind raced with a thousand thoughts as the chaos behind the curtains echoed back to her. Her eyes were flooded with tears and there was a shooting pain that pierced up her spine.In a moment, her eyes fell to her open hands and he was all she saw. It was as though she had drifted back to the moment that she held unto him, begging him to open his eyes…to wake up. But the hardest part was she wasn’t even certain that he could hear her. She wasn’t certain that he would ever actually open those eyes again. And hers, well they darted to the piece of sandwich that laid capriciously on the hospital floor and before she could even start blaming herself for leaving, something she would have never done if she knew things would turn out this way.
