Sophia stood frozen in place, completely naked under the moonlight. Her mouth hung slightly open, her eyes wide with pure shock.
'Get dressed and get out.'
The words kept repeating in her head like a cruel echo. For a moment, her mind refused to accept them. She just stared at Alex's retreating back, her brain struggling to process what had just happened.
'He… he actually told me to leave?'
The realization hit her like a slap across the face.
'How can he…?' Her mind spiraled. 'Isn't he supposed to want me? After everything he did... Her mother, aunt and even Jennifer... wasn't all of that just to get my attention? To make me come to him?'
'And now when I'm finally here on my own… when I've accepted him… he doesn't want me anymore?'
She thought when Alex saw her standing in his mansion... waiting for him till midnight, completely on her own, finally choosing him... he would run to her.
