Chapter 99 SMALL VICTORY!

LIORA'S POV;

I knocked on Ronan's door a second time, impatience bubbling just beneath my skin. When the door finally swung open, I was met by none other than Sophie. Did she even live in her own apartment, or had she made Ronan’s place her permanent residence? She was always here, lounging around like she owned the place.

A wave of irritation washed over me. She wore that same weary expression, as if my presence drained the life out of her. I wasn't surprised; it was clear she didn't like me, and to be honest, the feeling was mutual. But tonight, I was in no mood to tiptoe around her disdain. After the stunt she pulled the last time I was here, I was ready to face her head-on.

"Good evening," I greeted her, my tone a little too pleasant as I met her gaze with unflinching confidence.
