Chapter 3 .

At the funeral, Sophia tried as much as she could to stay away from the people's sight.

But everyone wanted to see her, to even talk to her and to congratulate her for returning back to her family.

Yes, Sophia has always ran away from home even as a teenager because she wanted to live a free life.

She didn't want to be treated as an important person by anyone.

She needed a life of a commoner, Just like her Friends from average homes.

In her run, She met Caleb and they fell in love. He only got to discover that she was from the Liam's Few weeks in to their relationship.

Which was what people didn't know. That was why they warned him to stay away from her as she was going to suck him dry.

Sophia finally became free after people started departing one after the other.

She was now alone on the balcony of the Funeral home, envisioning her life in the next year.

She didn't hear a footstep behind her and was startled by a touch on her shoulder.

" Oh Goodness!" She was so startled but frowned as soon as her eyes met with the person that startled her.

Standing in front of her was a young Man dressed in a black leather suit just like the type every man present in her Grandmother's Funeral worn.

" You startled me, Noah" She compressed her lips, showing her displeasure to what he did.

Noah, as she called him chuckled slowly. He walked beside her and to her back then hugged her from behind.

" Sophia, I missed you so much!" He rested his head on her shoulder, acting like a little Boy who has just seen his Mummy after years.

" Get off of me, You little punk!" She shrugged his head off of her shoulder.

They both started laughing at the same time after Noah raised his head from her shoulder.

Sophia hugged him tightly and pecked him on the cheek.

Noah Dominic, Her childhood friend and also her cousin from her Mum's side.

While growing up, People thought those two were in love and always referred to them as husband and wife.

But that wasn't the case, they just loved each other so much as Cousins and were inseparable.

" You are finally back, Girly. I missed you so much" Noah swept the hair on her forehead to one side.

" I missed you too, Noah" She let out a deep sigh.

Noah understood that. She felt sad for not telling him she was leaving the city.

She only told him over the phone that She and Caleb got Divorced.

And where she went after that, Only she knew.

" Don't worry, Girly. That's in the past now. The best thing is, You are back to us" He held her hand.

Sophia nodded her head. If there was anyone that Understood her and comfort her the most, then that was Noah.

" That bastard!" Noah clenched his fist but that made Sophia laughed.

She could imagine how he reacted when she gave him the bad news that Caleb divorced her.

Anything that would hurt her or made her angry, Noah was always against it.

But because he saw that the two were Deeply in love with each other, he didn't say no to their marriage.

" You know what I am going to do to him whenever I set my eyes on him" Sophia shook her head.

" Do not worry yourself, Noah. I've left that in the past now. And I'm so happy that he divorced me. Look at me now, I don't look like Sophia who was running after Love two years ago" She giggled.

Noah nodded his head. She was right. She didn't look like a weirdo , she looked more responsible and even more prettier.

" Excuse me, Noah, I need to use the restroom" She said, Handing over her purse to Noah.

" The city has turned in to a bad place ever since you left. It's already night, be careful there so we would go home safely" He winked at her.

Sophia giggled all the way down the Stairs.

That was how her Ex husband cared for her two years ago. He wouldn't let her be alone whenever they were outside.

As Sophia Hurried through the many chairs with people sitting on it, Caleb and Sheila sat among one of the tables.

Caleb didn't see her, But Sheila did.

Her heart sank when she saw Sophia. She thought she was out of the city for good.

How was she back to the city? When did she returned and what was she doing there?

Did she knew that Caleb would be going there and she also went to seduce him?

Sheila was so confused as she watched Sophia entered one of the doors leading to the restrooms.

" Are you alright?" Caleb asked, wiping his mouth with a tissue.

" Uhm yes, I'm good" She smiled.

But Sheila wasn't good as she had said. She was good minutes ago before she saw Sophia.

And if Sophia should return back, Caleb was going to see her which wasn't a good thing for her.

" Caleb dear, Excuse me please. I need to use the restroom" She left the table before Caleb would say anything.

And immediately Sophia stepped out of the restroom to wash her hands, She heard a voice.

" Who knew that Liam's married off their daughter to Caleb to steal the secret to his Company's Success?"

Sophia Turned from left to right but didn't see who was speaking.

She became so terrified. Was that the restroom's Ghost making fun of her?

" W... who are you?" Her voice broke and she gulped down.

Sheila started laughing from where she hid and she came out with her devilish look.

" Oh it's you" Sophia patted her chest.

" Yes, it's me. When did you return, Sophia? Do not tell me you are here because of Caleb?" She stepped forward.

" Why don't you go back to where you are coming from? I mean, it's just been only two years that you left. You shouldn't have come back now"

As she spoke, All the memories of that night kept flashing back in to her head.

Sheila was there when Caleb was forcing her to sign the papers.

She hung un to his hand, cuddling him like he was her husband.

And when she was thrown out by Caleb, Sheila followed her and made a mock of her.

No, she would never forget that day and the things Sheila said to her.
