Forbidden Shado novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56-1

Sofia’s Pol

I woke up the next morning feeling groggy and disoriented. The eves of the previous night replayed in my mind reminding me of a good movie with a had ending.

I glanced around at my fantiling room, remembering back to how Dard had kissed me so passionately only before insisting that I leave his room before things would get out of hand.

He claimed that I ‘wasn’t ready“, which I can understand why he would think that since he was a total gentleman at the best of times, but I felt that I was.

I was at least ready to experience something in my life–something geciting and meaningful – something that I had control over for

I wanted nothing more than to explore something new with him, feeling now

that I could trust him in that way.

But thinking back to how the whole night had ended yesterday, I was sort of glad that he called it quits because last night would have been far from romantic… nothing like how I had imagined my first time,

Vincent had openly called me a whore, and 1 didn’t need to be proving him right….

Emma hadn’t returned to my room last night, and I did wonder if she had managed to sort things

with Reid?

and

it was streaming in through the window seeming almost too bright as I sat up I crank my neck to the side seeing that the sunlight rubbed at my tired eyes with a stretch. I could hear faint voices downstairs, and doors opening and closing around the house which gained my curiosity knowing that the others were awake.

I needed to face them after last night, especially Vincent, but the thought alone made my

my stomach churn.

With a deep breath, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to reshen up. I stared at my reflection, my eyes crying but my hair bright and blonde just how I liked it

The pink cowboy hat sat on the bathroom counter, a reminder of last night’s ill–fated fun.

I finished up

before making my way downstairs, finding Daryl in the kitchen, brewing what looked to be coffee.

He looked up and smiled warmly when he saw me before I glanced around at the rest of the kitchen finding no sign of Vincent just

yet.

“Morning, Sofia. How are you feeling today?” he asked, opening up a cupboard before filling and handing me a mug of my own

“A little botter, thanks to you, at least you don’t hate me around here right?” I replied with a dry laugh, before taking a sip. The warmth of the coffee was a comforting gesture. “Where is Vincent and way?”

Daryl’s smile faded a little. “He’s out, probably still cooling off. He wasn’t here when I woke up, his car was gone. We’ll talk to him later though, don’t worry. Reid and Emma are in the living room if you want to join them.“

I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and dread. I wasn’t ready to face Vincent yet, but I couldn’t avoid him forever especially whilst Hiving in his house.

I turned on my heels and walked into the living room, where Reid we flipping through a magazine with a bored expression and Emma was scrolling on her phone.

They both looked up I entered, their reactions to my presence different..

“Hey, Sofin. You okay? 1 didn’t want to wake you!” Emma asked, concern in her eyes as I nod and smiled at her, still feeling awkward around Reid.

We still hadryt sorted our own drama after everything had gone down at the bar, but I wasn’t willing to make the first move

As though sensing my tension, Emma turns to look at him before gling him a knowing look as he visibly straightens up and clears

his throat.

“I just wanted you to know that I’m sorry for not giving you the warmest of welcomes when you first came to town…” He chooses his words carefully as I remain silent and give him the time to speak

I guess he was at least trying his best to make things right? I can’t at hate him forever…

“So uh, I would like for us to start fresh, if you’ll give me another chance? I usually don’t like the soppy shit but I have to admit that I really do like Emma and I also don’t want to make her uncomfortable. Fru working on taking accountability for my shit, you know?” Reid continues to ramble now, as I suddenly want to laugh this yapping.

I also recognise that Vin and Daryl really like you, and so I promise Vin I would apologise to you and make things right too. He inhales a slow breath as I nod once.

Maybe I should end his suffering…

It seemed Reid would be around me often, so what use would I get from holding a grudge?

“Really?” He squints, seeming confused with how quickly I had gotten over the whole ordeal.

“You said sorry and so I’ll give you another chance.” I nod again with a shrug to confirm, watching his shoulders relax as he turns to look back at Emma who seems proud.

“Great! Now I don’t have to hide things… Reid asked me to be his girfriend last night!” Emma blurts out, as I almost choke on my gulp of coffee.

“Thanks, Solia. I know things have been rough, but I’m really glad you re giving him another chance – he wont disrespect you again, believe me!” Emma jokes, squeezing Reids hand who nods once to agree with her words.

Before I could respond, the front door is heard opening and closing from down the hall causing me to still, before heavy footsteps are heard coming towards us before Vincent himself walks in and makes his presence known…

My heart skipped a beat, his eyes immediately finding mine, as I sa flicker of uncertainty buried in his gaze. He looked different
