There was a piercing sound that rang in Sofia’s ears, coupled with an outer worldly experience, one inexplicable and harrowing that could only come from seeing someone you thought you would never see in your life.At least, again.You all know Freya, Sofia’s sister who had disappeared when she was eight and who she only realized had left to flee from Mr Henderson, a fate bestowed on Sofia as well but one she escaped by a hair’s breadth. Though his trial was still months away, it was safe to say to Mr Henderson was behind bars. He really was, the only threat now was Dimitri who didn’t dare show his face after everything that happened and everyone was sure it was going to remain that way.But that was something different.Because now, Sofia could swear her heart skipped a beat, a stomp so loud that she felt it reverberate her entire body and the two faced each other, after years of being apart. Sofia wanted nothing more than to see her sister but right now that she did, she didn’t even

“Sandra, is it?”“It’s Sofia” She corrected as she took a seat next to Victoria. And Sofia was quick to lean in. “What’s really going on, Freya?” On the edge of her seat, she asked with an arch between her brows.“I’m sorry” Freya whispered and at some point, there was almost tears in her eyes, which she batted her lashes to hold back and they faced each other again, somewhat alone because Theo was a far distance from them, casually leaning against the wall.“I want to tell you truth” It was Vikky’s voice that drifted Sofia’s attention and now, there was a brisk silence in the room before she said.“I might be Freya, and you might be right” She started. “I know you are, I know I am” Sofia didn’t waste a second to reassure her but it was then Victoria grasped her hands. “The truth is ten years ago, I was in a car accident,” Her voice cracked a bit and Sofia was taken aback.“A car accident?”“Yes, one that almost claimed my life. And because of that, I spent nine months in a coma due t

As Sofia’s eyes looked about the room, there was a sudden sound that drew her attention. Thinking it was the door, she changed route and somehow landed herself in the kitchen.There her lips fell slightly as she met her mother.“What…what are you doing back this early?” She asked, scoffing a little and Theresa lifted her gaze to show she was a little taken aback. “It’s evening, how long do you want us to spend at the farmer’s market?” She asked and as Sofia looked at the clock, confirming it really was that late, the next time she looked at her mum, she was almost squealing.With eyes as hollow and dilated as it could, she pushed herself closer to where her mother was. “It’s actually six pm” She replied but everyone was aware that wasn’t the reason she was even so excited.“Why are you so excited?” Theresa asked the obvious question, looking about the fresh bags of groceries. “You wouldn’t believe what happened, ma. Who I just saw—“ Rip the bandaid…Freya, Victoria or how would she te

Sofia sprinted across the sidewalk that led to the coffeeshop. It was especially hard not to think about the first day that she was here. Look how far she had come and she wasn’t alone—Victoria tagged along.You know ever since showing up, they wanted to use every single they had to catch up because even though neither of them had talked about it, Victoria didn’t intend to stay in Salem, of course she was still going to leave and so was Theodore.“I like this part of town.” She however stated in that moment and Sofia threw a look over her shoulders. “You’ll like the shop even more” Reaching to the door, they finally came to a halt and the exhaustion was evident across Victoria’s face. 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
