Chapter 17 M

17: M

Sophia‘s POV:

After making the stupid declaration in front of Caleb, I am hiding like a little girl in a corner, glancing outside a window. I am sipping a hard drink and trying to think. I don’t want to get drunk with all my enemies around but stress is too high to stop myself.

How will I get out of this mess?

Dad will ask me questions. I pinch my brows and groan in frustration.

Why! Why! Why!

Why did I say this to him?

Only because I wanted to show him that I am not unwanted?

Lame. Fuckin Lame!

My phone pings and I pull it out.

M: ‘You look stunning today.’

I frown and turn immediately, trying to spot him.

Is M here? My contract hubby?

I am hidden behind the see through curtains but I am unable to make out. Many couples are dancing. Some guests are talking in groups.

He is here. I am sure.

What is he doing here?

Does he live here?

He never told me, and he loved playing guessing games with me when I asked.
