Chapter 134

Her grandfather took her in, but he could not accept that she was the offspring of the man who took his daughter from him. He blamed Austin for the accident, if Nova had married the man of his choice, then she would never have died while she was still in her prime. She would still be here in front of him, alive and happy.

He wanted to take out his frustration on Sophia, but he couldn't since Sophia resembled her mother like they were hewn from the same mold. He gave her everything, the latest clothing, accessories, shoes, anything a little girl would want. But the only thing Sophia needed from him, his love, he withheld from her. 

To keep her mother's memory alive, Sophia wore most of her mother's clothes, they were all old, and ill-fitting outfits, which made the other kids laugh at her. But she did not care, she was in mourning and this was the only way to keep her mother alive.
