Leah Monroe’s POV

iPad in my hands, earphones in my ears, I scroll through the comments on user @rosetta.rose’s latest IG post.

    Alexander’s POV~Singapore, October 14~Several floors above the ground, leg-crossed and seated alone in the corner of an exclusive restaurant, I sip wine while staring down at the bright city lights. A pianist is playing softly in the background. There’s barely anyone else in this room. I asked for as much privacy and quietness as I could get; that’s the reason.The wine is drier than usual. The silence, blending with the piano, is the kind of calm I need after two long weeks of noise, high-level meetings, internal operations, networking, and more work.I’d gladly enjoy this while it lasts.I turn around and signal to the waiter for a refill of my glass.On a night like this, that back massage I was promised at our engagement party would be the perfect addition to this quiet.Now that I think about it, she never got to give me that massage.And whose fault is it? I lift the glass to my lips, emptying it. And the waiter arrives right at this moment. With the stem between my fingers,

But nothing registers in my head.Seated at the back, I stare out the window, fingers curling and tangling together in my lap as my mind wanders.Sexy Sophia…What would she look like? What would Alexander think of her? The picture of those underpants displays in my head, unmoving. What would happen if I wore the blush pink one and hung out with Alexander? What ‘other things’ would he do to me?The thoughts running through my brain send a flush of heat through me. I have to shut my eyes tight and open them, but it’s still so hot.Hands fanning my face, my mind chooses this moment to replay what happened on that sofa in his office—the way his fingers slid–Oh, God.I lean against the door, take a deep breath, and slowly cross my legs.Get a grip on yourself, Sophia.But what would it feel like if we were to…My lids d

    Sophia’s POVCandace?A lump instantly forms in my throat. I release a shaky breath as my eyes drop to the tulips in my embrace.What’s this? Another way to attack me?“I’ll go get a vase,” Ava says with excitement, turning to leave.“W-wait.”She stops.My heart races. The urge to throw the flowers to the ground causes air to tangle in my throat. I lift my eyes to Ava, and her brows draw together.“Is everything okay?” She questions, turning back toward me. “You look pale.”“Was she, um… what else did she say?”Ava twists her mouth, then says, “She said she was your friend and asked if I could call you out to meet her. I told her you were getting ready to leave with your mother, but I’m sure you’d spare a minute for a friend. But she said not to bother anymore…”“Did you tell her where I’m headed with my mom?”“I don’t even know where you’re going. Your mother won’t tell me.”I nod and drop my eyes. “Thank you, Ava.”My friend? She’s up to no good again.“Let me get you a vase,” Ava

I’ll be all set before you get h- home… Okay. Bye, Mom.”Hand shaking, I drop the phone face down on the same surface, cross my arms over my chest, and look over my shoulder.“Was that your mom?” Aunt Mel asks, glancing at my phone before holding my gaze.“Mmm-hmm.” I nod and wipe my right cheek with the back of my left palm.“Sophia?” Her brows snap together to form a frown. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”“Nothing.” I shake my head, forming fists because my hands refuse to quit shaking. “Aunt Mel, I wanna get dressed.”She exhales deeply, eyes locked on mine as her lips twist, fold, and form a thin line. Her gaze drops to where my

    Sophia’s POVIt’s been one long week since Alexander went on his business trip.Seated on a bean bag sofa in my bedroom, I think back to that eventful night, on December 31st, as I stare at the picture frame in my hand. It’s the one he gave me. My eyes are glued only to his face. He’s staring at me, and I’m doing the same.How did this even happen? Barbara wanted everyone to take pictures together in the gazebo, but Dimitri was all over the place, waiting for his wife, Lena. Before this, I’d caught Alexander staring at me a few times. We couldn’t wait for Dimitri any longer and decided to take the pictures without him.I was sitting at the edge of the bench. But one of the guys appeared, and I had to lift my eyes.
