CHAPTER 75: STARTING AGAIN
Sophie’s POV
“Sophie, I’m so sorry for what happened a while ago.” Lance said to me while patting my shoulders.
Vincent just went here a while ago and he even tried to take me with him. Good thing I was able to defend myself and told him not to show his face to me anymore.
“Lance, I think I need to leave your house already.” I said as I wiped the tears in my eyes. “If I stay here, I know Vincent will just keep on going here and try to get me again.”
“Okay, then let’s just buy a house for you somewhere. Although I prefer you to be here since if you are here, I know that you are safe. I can watch over you. Please just stay here for a while, Sophie.”
“But—
“Stay here for a while until you can finally find a decent job and rent your own pad.”
I heaved a sigh. “Okay.”
“Thank you. Vincent will finally stop going here, I know that. He already heard it from you so for sure he will follow what you just said.”
“I hope so, I don’t really want to see him for now.”
Lance nodded. “By the way, if you are looking for a job, I’ve heard that Felise Anne’s Enterprises are looking for models. I think you can pass as one. They pay really good according to some of my friends.”
“Huh? But I don’t know how to do modeling, Lance.”
“They will teach you. At least by that you will be able to save some money and later on you will also be able to buy your own pad. I know you can do it, Sophie. You need to get up again, you need to prove Vincent that he was so wrong of hurting you. You need to prove yourself to them and make yourself proud.”
“But what if I fail? What if they won’t like me to be their model?”
Lance reached for my hand and looked straight into my eyes. “You need to trust yourself. I believe in what you can do and I know you can make it. You already did everything, you’ve been through anything. You should get up again, Sophie.”
I forced a smile on my face as I nodded. “You are right, Lance. Nothing will happen if I just stay here and cry for Vincent. He’s not even worth crying for. I need to prove to them that I will be able to rise again.”
“That’s my girl. Should we go to their company tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
After that, I finally went to my room. I looked for my mom’s photo as I sat on my bed. “Mommy, tell me what to do, please. Tell me if what I will be doing is right. Please guide me, mom. I know I can do it, I will do my best and rise again. I will start a new life without Vincent. I will no longer be the Sophie that he met before.”
Vincent’s POV
“ENOUGH, VINCENT! PLEASE LET ME GO–UGHHH!!!”
I kept on punching the stomach of the man who tried to kill me a while ago.
“Who asked you to go here and kill me, huh? Is it Lucien?! It’s Lucien, right?!!”
He was already lying on the floor with blood in his mouth. He looked at me with tired eyes. “You are right. It was Lucien, he wanted me to sneak into your base and asked me to kill you.”
“That fucking coward…” I whispered.
I let go of the stupid man and looked at George. “I will go now. I will just entrust you this stupid man, George.”
“Yes, boss.”
Then I finally left our base. That Lucien really wants to kill me. He doesn’t even know how to fight fairly and still, he wants me to join his coward clan?
I will really kill him once I see him. He won’t show his face to me and I don’t even know where the hell he is hiding. But he has too many men and for sure they are secretly watching us and our every move.
I tried calling Sophie again but she just won’t answer her phone. She told me not to show my face to her again. She also told me that she already sets me free and that made me really mad.
She no longer wants me. But I won’t let her go, I will keep on chasing her but for now, maybe I just have to let her take some rest. I know she got hurt so much. I badly want to take her back already but know her condition right now, I don’t think she would even want to see my face.
Then my phone suddenly rang again. I thought it was Sophie so I quickly pressed the answer button without looking at the name of the caller.
“Sophie.”
“It’s Monica.”
I squinted at the name of the caller and it was really Monica. I sighed.
“Monica, what do you want from me?”
“Can we meet at the Garden Coffee shop? I badly want to see you right now.”
“Why don’t you call your boyfriend?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Vincent, you are the one that I want. Please go here. Go here…”
“I’m sorry but I still have lots of things to do.” I said then I finally hang up the phone.
