Chapter 127-1

„Sofia’s POV

By the time we finally left Vincent’s place, I was surprised to find the sky blanketed in darkness.

How had it gotten so late, so fast?!

It felt like we had been talking for hours and it was ch

s clear now that we actually had been…

My head was still spinning from everything that had come out d

during our conversation too as I struggled to make sense of it all.

point since T

I had used the bathroom briefly before we left, finding my face to be extremely puffy and raw – nothing new at seemed to always cry over my sad fuck up of a life – regardless of how hard I would try to fight back the tears!

ew at this point

But as I now sat amongst the rumbling engine of the car, reflecting. I had to say tonight was when Vincent said he loved me.

Vincent Walker actually said that he loved me? Let that sink in…

that the e main statement that stole the show

I was still trying to wrap my head around it, the way those words had just slipped out of his mouth so carelessly.

My breathing increased at the memory alone, as I refused to look at him during the entire drive

Did he even realise what he’d said?

Or was it just something he thought might help to fix things between us?

How many girls had he said the exact same thing to before in the past?!

I had been so angry at him, so explosive, with this being the first time that we had finally rehashed the whole secret dealings he had made with my father behind my back, and honestly, I felt that had every right to react how I did…

Keeping something like that from me… it was a betrayal, no questions asked.

But now, with a long silence settled between us, giving me time to look back on our heated dispute, a knot of guilt soon began creep its way in

1 had lashed out on him incredibly hard, harder than I had ever done in my whole life with anyone else, and maybe, just maybe, I hadn t given him a fair shot to apologise.

He had said sorry over and over again but I didn’t want to fall vulnerable to believing him so easily. I just wish I hadn’t yelled like I had, cutting him off whenever he tried to explain things to me…

Surprisingly, Vincent hadn’t lost his temper once with me today – even when he was being screamed at. That alone was worth brownie points, and hinted that he did actually feel guilty for it all the would have made more of an effort to defend himself.

1 voddenly felt bad, like I had been the one who had crossed a line with how the conversation went, but would i admit that right

No way.

I wouldn’t.

Not yet.

Chapter 127-1

All I wanted right now was to hurry up and get back to the hospital back to Emma, and more importantly, back to Daryl.

The image of him unconscious, lying in that hospital bed, had haunted me ever since we’d left him there the first time.

The thought of hopefully seeing him awake this time, hearing his valce… it was the only thing keeping me grounded.

The car ride was an excruciatingly quiet experience for the both of us.

The silence between Vincent and I felt cold and awkward, like we were both balancing on the edge of something fragile, too

afraid to push it any further with one another.

He was giving me space – like he had promised to – but I could feel bus frustration in the way his hands gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed strictly on the road ahead like he didn’t dare to look at me.

I appreciated the distance though, even though it made my anxiety coil tighter with each passing minute.

As the towns lights blurred past us, I couldn’t stop my mind from wandering back to everything we had just gone over.

The stalkers.

The pictures.

The business dealings between our fathers.

The money offered for me,

The proposed marriage.

Ashton.

Daryl being shot.

Every little detail played on a loop in my head, making me question everything.

How had it even

en gotten to this

to this point?

How had I ended up here, with my father still looming over my life Eke an attached shadow that I couldn’t yet escape, no matter how far I tried to run from him?

Chapter 127-2

How had I fell head over heels for a guy whose damn father was in connection with my very own blood?

I had fucked this up so much that it was hard to see a way out… to fed a plausible escape,

Vincent walked right in to his trap…

I shifted in my seat, glancing back out of the window with a shaky breath.

I wanted to feel something other than this gnawing uncertainty. I had no idea what the future held for me staying here in

now.

What good was there here for me? For Vincent? For any of us?!

The hospital was coming up in the distance, its familiar glow a beacon in the dark and for the first time, I was actually ecstatic to see it.

Part of me hoped that being back there, seeing Emma, Daryl and Reid might give me some clarity on what to do, would be a distraction from the chaos running loose inside of my head.

Anything to stop thinking about Vincent’s confessions and about my father…

He said he loved me, and I wasn’t even sure

Vincent swiftly pulled into the hospital parking lot, the car coming to a slow, quiet stop. The tension between us was suffocating. each second stretching painfully as neither of us made a move to get out.

I stared up at the glowing hospital entrance, so close but suddenly feeling so

There was still so much unresolved tension between us, so much I still didn’t know how to process.
