Chapter 42

Masika's eyes widened in fear as she turned around to face Sophia. Sophia was standing in the doorway, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"How did you get in here?" Masika demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.

Sophia shrugged. "I have my ways," she said, her eyes glinting with malice. "Besides, I didn't come here to harm you, Masika. At least, not yet."

Joon stepped forward, his eyes blazing with anger. "Get out of here, Sophia," he growled. "Before I call security."

Sophia laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You think security can stop me?" she sneered. "I've been planning this for months, Joon. And nothing is going to get in my way."

Masika's heart was racing with fear. What did Sophia have planned? And how was she going to stop her?

Suddenly, Sophia's eyes locked onto Masika's, and she smiled. "You see, Masika," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "I've discovered a little secret about Joon. Something that's going to change everything."

Masika's eyes widened in fear. What secret could Sophia possibly have discovered? And how was it going to affect her and Joon?

Sophia's smile grew wider as she paused for dramatic effect. "Joon, here, isn't who you think he is," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "He's been hiding a dark secret, one that could destroy everything."

Masika's eyes locked onto Joon's, searching for answers. But Joon's expression was unreadable, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"What are you talking about, Sophia?" Masika demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.

Sophia laughed again, the sound sending shivers down Masika's spine. "Joon, here, is not just a wealthy businessman," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "He's also a member of a powerful organization, one that will stop at nothing to get what they want."

Masika's eyes widened in shock. What organization was Sophia talking about? And what did it have to do with Joon?

Joon's expression remained calm, but Masika could see the tension in his body. He was hiding something, and Sophia had just uncovered it.

Suddenly, Sophia's eyes locked onto Masika's, and she smiled. "You're in grave danger, Masika," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "And the only way to save yourself is to leave Joon and never look back."

Masika's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with questions. What organization was Sophia talking about? And why was she warning Masika away from Joon?

"I don't believe you," Masika said, trying to sound confident. "Joon would never put me in danger."

Sophia's smile grew wider. "You're so naive, Masika," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "Joon is using you for his own purposes. He doesn't care about you or your safety."

Masika's eyes flashed with anger. How dare Sophia question Joon's motives?

"I don't believe you," Masika repeated, her voice firm. "Joon loves me, and he would never hurt me."

Sophia's expression turned cold. "We'll see about that," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "Just remember, Masika, I warned you."

And with that, Sophia turned and walked away, leaving Masika feeling shaken and confused.

Joon stepped forward, his eyes locked on Masika's. "Don't listen to her, Masika," Joon said, his voice soft and reassuring. "Sophia is just trying to cause trouble."

But Masika couldn't shake off the feeling that Sophia had been telling the truth. What organization was Joon involved with? And what did it have to do with her?
