Sophia’s POVIt felt good to finally be back in my office and to be working on a new design project. The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of my computer. I loved this part of the process, where creativity flowed freely, and the outside world faded away.As I was sketching out ideas, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to see Julia standing there with a look of concern on her face.“Hey, Sophia,” Julia began, stepping into the room. “I heard from Elijah about what happened. Are you okay?”I forced a smile, though my heart tightened at the mention of Elijah. “I'm fine, Julia. Really. Just trying to get this project done.”Julia nodded, but I could tell that she didn’t plan on going away soon. She glanced at my sketches, then back at me. “I know you're busy, but I was wondering if I could study with you. I know I'm not as good a designer as you, which is why Chris chose you for this project. I really want to learn more from you so I can improve faster.”Her sin

Sophia’s POVI froze, my heart pounding in my chest, as Daniel's words sank in. “I've liked you since high school,” he confessed, his voice filled with sincerity. “Back then, I thought you were too focused on your studies to pay attention to me. And I guess I was too… afraid to approach you.”High school felt like a lifetime ago. I had been so engrossed in my academic pursuits that I hadn't paid much attention to anything else. Certainly not to Daniel, who had apparently been quietly looking out for me all along. I did vaguely remember some encounters we had then, but we never even became close friends during that time. “Even in college, though I was studying abroad, I still kept checking your social media,” he admitted. “And asking some people about you.”“Oh,” was all I could say at the moment. This was indeed a revelation. “I was sad when I found out you were married,” Daniel continued, his eyes searching mine. “But it was even harder to learn that you were unhappy. I was very ha

Elijah’s POVI walked into the police station, the familiar scent of disinfectant hitting me as I approached the front desk. Serena had asked to see me urgently, something about having important information. I found her in a small interrogation room that they used for visiting prisoners, looking nothing like her usual self. Her hair was disheveled, dark circles marred her eyes, and she seemed to have aged overnight. Nevertheless, I didn’t feel an ounce of pity for her. “What's going on, Serena?” I asked as I sat down across from her, not wanting to beat around the bush. “Why did you want to talk to me?”She glanced up, her expression weary. “I need to tell you something, Elijah. Something important.”“What is it?” I asked straightaway, trying to gauge if she was telling the truth. “I'm not the one behind everything,” she said quietly. I frowned, taken aback. “What do you mean? You've done so many terrible things, Serena. Are you trying to pass the blame onto someone else now? And w

Sophia’s POV I opened the door to my apartment, and was surprised to see my ex-husband standing there. My heart unexpectedly skipped a beat, and I felt a flutter of excitement mixed with uncertainty. “Hey,” Elijah said, a small smile playing on his lips. “Hi,” I replied, trying to sound casual. “What are you doing here?” “Sorry to bother you… I just wanted to talk,” he said, his expression serious. “Can I come in?” I hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let him in. Daniel was just heading out at that time. I saw how Elijah's eyes narrowed when he saw him, especially when Daniel touched my hand briefly. “Sophia, think about what I said, okay?” Daniel said before moving past Elijah. “I’ll see you soon.” “Uh, okay,” was all I could reply. It was definitely an awkward moment, having both him and Elijah there, especially after Daniel had just confessed his feelings. As Daniel left, Elijah turned to me, his gaze searching. “What was that all about?” “It was nothing,” I sai

Sophia’s POV “Who was that?” Elijah asked. “Uh, just a friend,” I answered, not wanting to get into the details. I knew that he didn’t trust Adrian. I stood up and excused myself for a while. I went out to the balcony, feeling the cool evening breeze on my skin as I dialed Adrian's number. He picked up after a few rings, his voice filled with a sense of urgency. “Sophia, I’m so sorry to bother you at this time,” Adrian said, his tone cryptic. “I just didn’t know who else to contact… Uh, can you come to the grocery store near Raven Media? I need your help with something.” I furrowed my brow, wondering what could be so important at this hour. “Sure, Adrian. I'll be there soon,” I replied, already thinking about how to get there quickly. Turning back inside, I found Elijah playing with Reese on the floor. “I need to go out for a bit, Elijah. Can you watch Reese for me?” I asked, trying to keep my tone casual. Elijah looked up, concern evident in his eyes. “Where are you going? Is

Elijah’s POVI stood by the window, watching the rain pour down in nonstop sheets, drenching everything in sight. The clock on the wall ticked away the seconds, each one adding to my growing anxiety.And when I heard that man’s voice in the background, addressing Sophia, calling her name, my heart jumped and my anxiety intensified.I could feel the anger bubbling up inside me. Who the hell is that man? Why is she with him this late? I wanted to demand answers, to tell her to come home immediately. But I knew I didn't have the right. We weren't together. She had her own life, her own choices.“Who's with you?” I couldn’t help asking, my voice turning cold despite my efforts to stay calm.“Elijah, it's nothing,” she replied quickly. “I'll explain everything later. I promise.”I wanted to protest, to tell her that I needed to know now, but the words stuck in my throat. Before I could say another word, the line went dead. She had hung up on me.I stood there, staring at the phone in my h

Sophia’s POVI was halfway to my apartment when I realized I was still wearing Adrian's jacket. The rain had poured down heavily earlier, soaking my thin blouse and leaving me shivering in the cold. Adrian had draped his jacket over my shoulders without hesitation, also insisting to come with me in my car and make sure I was safe coming back home.“Oh, shucks, I need to return this to him,” I muttered, turning around to go back to the lobby. “Hope he’s still there.”The elevator ride was quick, and as the doors slid open to the lobby, I heard voices. I paused, recognizing Adrian's voice immediately.“Why do you care so much about Sophia? Is she your girlfriend?”I held my breath, peering around the corner just enough to see them. Elijah stood with his back to me, his posture tense, while Adrian faced him, arms crossed defensively.Elijah's response was calm but firm. “No, she's not my girlfriend.”A flicker of relief and disappointment mingled within me, confusing my emotions. But bef

Sophia’s POVChris and I pulled up to his grandparents' old house, its charming, weathered facade standing as a testament to years gone by. The paint was peeling, and the roof looked like it had weathered one too many storms. Chris parked the car and turned to me, a look of excitement mixed with nervousness in his eyes.“This is it, Sophia,” he said, turning to me after he parked in front. “I’m so glad you were able to come today. My grandparents mean the world to me, and this house... well, it's seen better days. This is why I’ve decided to gift them a new one, to show my appreciation for everything they've done for me.”“That’s such a beautiful gesture, Chris,” I told him sincerely. I knew that he had a lot of money, but choosing to spend it on a new house for his grandparents showed that he really cared about them. “I’m glad to be a part of the project.”We got out of the car and made our way to the front porch. As Chris knocked on the door, I could hear faint sounds from inside, s
