And on top of the many questions she already had were more.“I declined the clinical trial” Oscar had informed her and her lips uncontrollably fell apart as she stared at him. His mind was made up and she could see the firmness in his eyes, in this decision he had come to by himself—without even telling her after agreeing to go through this together. She was mute, stung by both betrayal and shock, and anger. “Oscar!” It just didn’t make any sense. She was aware of a clinical trial that his father, Ronald did and he confessed to how the medicine was a lot helpful to him even though he already had a prognosis. The thing was with the damage of the condition and Ronald’s age, surgery was never an option.His best bet was the clinical trial but it could only do so much. Being in its early expe

As Sofia sat across from Doctor Barry, she found her hands slowly and unconsciously reach for Oscar’s. Smiling at him, she knew that was all it would take for his anxieties to calm. She wouldn’t be his wife if she didn’t notice the slightest changes in his mood and countenance each time.But Sofia knew that Oscar was one of the strongest people she’d met in her whole life and times that she had to reassure herself with those words, she was convinced that her make it out of this.

“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.

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
