CHAPTER 119

  As she emerges from her room, Marisol is surprised to find Sophia standing right by the entrance. Sophia's eyes gleamed with a knowing satisfaction, a slow clap echoing through the once silent corridor, prompting Marisol to push away her initial surprise.

  "Well, well, well. Look who's finally decided to come out of hiding. I was starting to think you'd decided to stay holed up in there for the rest of your days." Sophia drawls, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

  Marisol rolled her eyes, a surge of annoyance bubbling within her. She was not in the mood to deal with Sophia's taunts. Choosing to ignore her words, Marisol attempts to walk past her, but Sophia is quick to sidestep, effectively blocking her new path, a corner of her lips lifting slightly.

  "Going for a little stroll, are we?" Sophia continued, amusement was evident in her tone.

  Marisol shoots her a glare but opts to remain silent, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of a reply.
