He was thinking about the confrontation at the Kingston villa and also what Sophia said about his ex-marriage.Contrary to what Sophia thought, he wasn't angry at all that she mentioned his past. He was only taken aback that she felt that way about his previous life, maybe she too doesn't find him likable just like Cassandra and her family.Alex can vividly remember what happened 3 years ago.

Sophia was in her room sleeping when she heard a knock on her door. She steered a bit but didn't answer the door. She was too tired from the party that happened the previous day and she doesn't want to be disturbed. But the knock persisted.She groaned glaring at the door as if the person that was knocking would magically disappear. When the knock came again, she removed the duvet on her body and stood up angrily. She was determined to give the person on the other side of the door a piece of her mind.When she yanked the door open what she saw calmed her down a little bit. She saw one of their servants carrying a bouquet of her favorite flower. She loves rose flowers immensely. The only person who ever offered her rose flowers was her late mother and that was almost a decade ago.Suddenly, Sophia was no longer angry and ready to murder someone."Ma'am Sophia.

Alex and Sophia were now back to the way they used to be. They're eating and teasing each other. She didn't know that she missed him this much until now. She was happy that they had made up because if not, she would have still been moody until now.They were both gisting and catching up in the restaurant when Sophia remembered something and decided to ask."Alex, for us to be on the same page. In order not to be shocked by you again, I want to ask: hope you don't have any other thing you're hiding. If there is, you'd better start spilling now." Sophia said in a pensive voice not wanting to be surprised again. She doesn't think that her poor heart can survive another blow.Eric clears his throat, he looks uncomfortable and nervous. He had so much to tell Sophia about everything that had been happening this past few months but he was being skeptical about opening up.Sophia noticed that Alex's mood had changed, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights, "Alex, I want you to know th
