SOPHIA POV.I was running into the north with the map pictured in my head. I have planned it ahead, so I know everything.Two men came rushing at me when I was close to a trap and I led to it. They mocked when they saw me running and foolishly followed me down.The trap instantly killed them as it was one of the deadly ones. As I proceeded further, I noticed the majority of their men left were heading in my direction.Many of which the trap had taken down. They were instructed to go after me, feeling that my soldier would be weakened if I'm injured or dead.It was perfect for me and I loved the idea. There were a lot of traps and if the trap didn't get them and if the trap didn't work then my spear was ready.My plan was to lead them to the trap and finish off the ones the trap left alive a bit. They soon realize that they were trapped.They had nowhere to go, with Roman working his way in the south and my soldiers positioned in the west and east.The north they felt was safe was no
SOPHIA POVI was in a new place with Roman, it was just us, alone in one of his private houses. I was sitting outside, watching the beautiful sunset.It was heaven and was far from the problem of Xylah and Bryce. Roman was in the kitchen, he was making breakfast and wanted me to wait outside in the balcony till the food was ready.He had called many times, shouting my name and asking questions. He claimed what he was making would make me love him more..He seemed serious about it and it might actually work, as the whole house had a nice fragrance and it made me get hungry by the minute.He comes with a tray in his hand, the pancakes having HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in bold letters.It was a lovely breakfast dinner, consisting of a cup of coffee, a design with a heart, a pancake, and a mini chocolate cake.The donut was heart shaped with juice by the side and the main dish was pasta. "I'm going to get fat," I complained, as he smiled, kissing me."Well, you would still have my heart," he
ROMAN POV.I was in my office, planning a surprise along with Xylah when I heard Sophia screamed, echoed.I was sure it was hers because it was not the first time it was happening. Rushing to our room, I found her struggling to wake up and when she did, she rested on me, crying so hard.Her current behavior was now threatening and the funny thing is she won't tell me, she would rather remain quiet than complain.This hurt me as I thought I have created an atmosphere where she can be able to trust me but I guess she does not see it as anything.After a while of asking and she not replying, I stood up, I knew I would have to call her handmaid to help with the distraction.I got outside to find Sophia already questioning her maid and thus offered to lead her to the room myself."Remember, she is not to use any horses or cars," I instructed as she nodded. "Take the longest route possible," I continue."I understand sir, I will delay her and I will get her ready, bringing her early also,"
SOPHIA POV.I woke up, feeling pain all over me, touching my body, I couldn't believe that I was alive and survived.After slapping myself several times to confirm that I was alive. I didn't know how but I was happy to be. I need to find Roman, to check if he was alright or to check on the case.I wanted to know what happened yesterday and if he was doing anything about it.As I rushed outside, I noticed how everywhere was quiet and calm, there was a quiet whisper as I passed..And when I went to the office, I heard that Roman was talking with a set of people. "What happened two days ago was planned," Roman said."We can't know that for sure cousin," Xylah chipped in. "And even though it was planned, we can't tell who did it," Bryce added."We checked everything, from the drinks to the cake, there was no trace of poison,"he explained."Security cameras were checked and others, we made sure no one was near the table containing the glass she used. We even investigate Dante and the wine
SOPHIA POV.Roman and Bryce were on a mission, while I was off alone they left early this morning though and I didn't know when I would be coming back, Xylah wouldn't be around, so I saw this as an opportunity for me to be able to go back to the forest, killing rogue wolves.After this threat, Xylah acted as if she was concerned for me, like even offering water and whenever she was alone, she would give a devilish grin.It was the only way I could channel my anger after all it was they had a part in their death.As I forgot, the images of Xylah and my handmaid popping up and it only got me angry, angry enough to kill more.I got injured again for being distracted and I angrily killed that one. I looked at my time, and it was going to one, which means I would have to finish the rest really quick, since my injuries will weaken me and I didn't want to be finished by them.I fought a lot of them, killing as many as I could, of course I was injured and the poison effect was still in my b
ROMAN POV "Xylah, what's wrong?" I asked, rushing to meet her. "Brother, it's my fault, I didn't know she was sick, I didn't know she had an injury," Xylah begged."Xylah, you are not making any sense,"Bryce yelled. "Someone get a doctor for her," Bryce yelled. "Xylah, tell us where Sophia is," Bryce asked. "At the market, behind the warehouse," she replied. "Why are you there, why did you go there this late,"Bryce asked, to the weak Xylah who could barely stand. "Bryce, we don't have time for this," I said, signaling for the horse. "Make sure she gets checked out, I will be coming with Sophia very soon.Riding it, I rush to Xylah description, riding as fast as I can. I arrived to find three dead rogue wolves and an unconscious Sophia.She barely had any pulse and she was really cold. Pulling my coat, I wrap it around her, carrying her weak body and gently placing it on the horse.I rode back home, really fast, not caring about the people in the way or how fast it was. Only stoppin
SOPHIA POV "Yes, Cousin, she only came to check up on me and apologies," Xylah admitted. "So you are doubting me now," I asked him."Of course not," he opposed as I sneered, leaving him alone and heading straight to my room.He follows suit, calling my name which I ignore. "Sophia, I'm sorry," he says as he shut the door but I wouldn't hear of it.As much as I didn't get affected, Xylah words got to me, it wasn't a good thing. "Just go Roman, before you snapped at me again," I said, pulling off my clothes. "You know, I was just worried," he defended. "Yes, you are more worried about her than me," I grumble."It's not like that," he says. "Yes, it's like that, I'm the one who saved your cousin and I'm the one who got scolded," I yelled."That's because you didn't want to hug her," he pointed out. "Yes I didn't, I was in pain, when you rush to hug me it was damn painful and she was coming to the same, what do you expect,?" I asked."I didn't get it that way and for this, I'm sorry,
ROMAN POVI couldn't hear what Sophia said, when I left, heading straight to Xylah's room with soldiers.Luckily I found the handmaid with Xylah and Bryce. "Arrest her," I ordered, pointing at her handmaid as she was dragged away by them."Roman, what's happening,"Bryce asked. "Yes Cousin, you can't just barge in my room and arrest my handmaid," Xylah shipped in."This is my palace, this is my kingdom and I can do anything I want to do, even arresting the person who nearly killed my mate," I yelled.Watching their expressions fall. "I don't know what you mean cousin," Xylah shutter."Roman, please explain to us," Bryce requested. "We found footage of your handmaid poisoning Sophia's food on the morning of her birthday." I explained."I don't want to think you sent them because I know you are not that kind of person, so until the investigation is over, you are not to leave your room and two guard's, a male and a female will watch over you," I explained."The only person who is allowe
