Sophia let go of Cynthia and made a run back into the uncompleted warehouse. She fell on her knees immediately after she got to where he lay.She held his chest sobbing, "Please stay with me, Alex. You said that we will always be together till eternity, Remember? Which means that you can't just leave me like that." Sophia was crying her heart out.Meanwhile, the gunfight did not cease. It continued like that until the police sirens were heard making their way into the warehouse. Apparently, Samuel, the private investigator went to report to the police what was going on, but it took them long to locate the place.When Victor and his group heard the siren. They made a dash for an escape but a voice on loudspeaker stopped them on their track."This is the police, just surrender your weapons in one peace. The entire building is surrounded. If you try anything stupid, you will have yourself to blame. Just place your hands on your heads." The voice of the detective boomed around the uncompl

Sophia barely slept a wink the previous night. Immediately it was 6 am, she stood up and started getting ready to go to the hospital.She reached downstairs and met her parents having breakfast. She greeted them and made her way out of the house."Sophia, won't you at least have breakfast with us?" Alessandro asked."I'll have one later in the day. I don't have an appetite now." She replied, still making her way to the door."Remember What we discussed last night, please be home early for lunch," Ellie said after her, but Sophia didn't say anything. She entered her car and drove off.Sophia got to the hospital at about half past 7 am. She made her way straight to Alex's ward. When she cornered through the hallway that leads to his ward, she saw Jayden and Cynthia. They were both looking better today. Everyone looked exhausted yesterday."Did you both sleep in the same house? Why are you both here together?" Sophia asked sarcastically as she neared where they were standing which was ou

Sophia entered the McLean's residence to discover that the Howells were already on their way out. Maybe they waited for her for so long and she didn't show up, so they decided to leave which was okay by her. She was here to talk to her parents anyway."Look who decided to bless us with her presence," Ellie said in an overly excited tone. Sophia can see through her though, because she knows that she's angry at her for coming in late for lunch."How are you, my dear?" Mrs. Howells asked. She was a very beautiful petite woman even at her age. She believes that this woman would be more understanding than her stepmom."I'm very well thank you, ma'am. Please pardon my manners for not making it to the lunch on time. I've been in the hospital all day with a friend who isn't feeling well." Sophia apologized and explained what happened to Mrs. Howells."Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that this friend of yours is better now?" Mrs. Howells asked further. From what Sophia could deduce, she'

Sophia woke up the next morning feeling down. Her face still ached but her chest ached more. Ever since she left Alex at the hospital the previous day, he hasn't called to check on her to know if she got home safe or if she's doing okay. He must be really pissed at her for not wanting to tell him why she didn't want to pick up the constant calls yesterday. She has it at the back of her mind to drop by the hospital today after office hours. She was going to make things right. She didn't know that it was going to hurt this much not having the best person in your life in your corner at a time like this. She was feeling alone in the world and she needed the warm hug of her best friend whom she was romantically interested in, but that could wait for now.Sophia entered the bathroom and took her bath. She dressed in a black lace gown which depicted her mood for the day. She sat on the table directly opposite the mirror in her room and started doing her makeup. She tried her best to cover u

Jayden drove Sophia to the hospital instead of taking her to Howell's residence as the stepmom instructed. They both kept on giving themselves side glances without uttering a word to each other.They got to the hospital a few minutes later and made their way to Alex's room. Suddenly, Sophia stopped abruptly causing Jayden to do the same."You promised not to snitch on me right?" Sophia asked with her eyebrows furrowed.Jayden looked confused, "when did I ever say that? Stop putting words into my mouth."Sophia dragged him by his suit jacket, "Do not play smart with me." Sophia glared trying to look scary."Let me be. You're such a bully. I'm not promising you anything. But I'll try to keep my mouth shut." Jayden replied.They walked into Alex's room to see him with his foster father. They were having a cup of coffee. And they looked to be having a lot of fun."Good afternoon Mr. Chris." Sophia and Jayden greeted him collectively."Thank you, my dears. How have you been, Sophia? The la
