Sophia drank in the sight of Alexander, whom she had not seen in a few days. She blinked her eyes in
disbelief and stretched out her arms, pulling him into a tight embrace.
She had been locked up for four days. Her fear and anxiety had almost driven her to madness.
Although Mona had not intended to hurt her, the former did not seem inclined to let her go either.
She was five months pregnant and already beginning to show. The thought of what would happen to
her baby if she continued to be imprisoned here had constantly dominated Sophia’s worries.
Her pregnancy hormones already made her exceptionally emotional, and Sophia was at her breaking
point after enduring for so long.
“Alexander, I’m scared!”
A tear rolled down Sophia’s cheek. Once the floodgates were opened, she could not hold them back
anymore, and she began to cry in earnest.
Alexander looked at her tear-stained face and felt his throat tightening. He said softly, “Come on,
Sophia, don’t cry.”
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, trying to comfort her. Sophia was shaking all over. She
said through her tears, “I thought I’d never get to see you again.”
She did not know how she had managed to survive those four days. It was not so bad when she was
asleep, but her waking hours were filled with endless anxious thoughts.
Her anxiety was a problem, and Sophia was afraid that she would fall into a bout of depression
because of it.
She sobbed uncontrollably. Alexander could not manage to calm her down, so he lifted her up into his
arms.
The movement brought his attention to the shackles around her feet. His heart broke at the sight. He
gently placed her on the bed and lowered himself to cradle her feet. “Does it hurt?”
Sophia wiped away her tears before glancing at her feet. “It doesn’t really hurt actually.”
The shackles were meant to humiliate her, and Sophia felt like a lowly prisoner with them on.
“Where are the keys?”
“I don’t know,” Sophia replied, shaking her head.
She bit her lip as she watched Alexander touch the red marks around her ankles gingerly. With him
around, she felt her fear melting away.
Alexander looked up at her. “I’ll get Felix to bring a cutter.”
“Okay.” Sophia nodded.
He kissed her forehead again and said regretfully, “I got here too late.”
“No, you didn’t.”
After all, she was unhurt.
Sophia knew that her disappearance must have worried Alexander. Four days of not being able to find
her must have driven him mad.
When Felix received Alexander’s call, he did not fully understand the situation, but he did not question
his boss’ instructions and quickly did as he was told. As he was handing the cutter to Alexander, he
caught sight of Sophia’s ankles. Realization dawned on him.
Mona must be desperate for money!
“Mr. Xenos, the police have Mona under control.”
“Noted.”
Alexander sat Sophia on the bed and bent down to cut off the shackles.
Although the shackles had not been bound tightly, Sophia had been unwillingly wearing them for four
days, and the friction had left a ring of chafed skin around her ankle. Some parts had even blistered.
Alexander gently removed the shackles. His expression darkened when he noticed the injuries around
her ankle.
Noticing the change in his face, Sophia reached for his hand and said softly, “Let’s go home.”
Alexander clutched her hand tightly and stared into her eyes, echoing her words, “Yes, let’s go home
right now.”
Although Mona had not harmed her physically, Sophia was still in a delicate condition. She was worried
about the baby she was carrying, so they stopped by the hospital on their way home. After being
reassured by the doctor that everything was fine, Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It had been a crazy day, and Sophia fell asleep in the car as Alexander was driving them home.
She had not slept well for the past few days, especially after hearing Mona’s phone call two nights ago.
Sophia had mentally prepared herself for Mona to kill her.
However, no matter how much she had tried to come to terms with her death, fear still wrapped around
her like a vice. Her anxiety would jerk her awake in the middle of the night. Each time she would pray
that it had all been just a nightmare, but each time she had woken up to the same unfamiliar
surroundings.
The reality was that she had been held captive by Mona.
Sophia’s hunger pangs woke her up. It was already dawn by then.
Alexander was not beside her in the bed, so she called out for him, “Alexander?”
“I’m here,” Alexander answered.
Then, he walked in carrying a bowl of oatmeal on a tray.
It was her first night of peaceful sleep, and Sophia slept for a long while.
She had panicked when she realized Alexander’s absence, fearing for a moment that she was still with
Mona.
Alexander set the oatmeal down on the bed and asked, “Are you hungry?”
After a full night of sleep in a familiar environment, Sophia finally calmed down.
“Yes, I’m hungry actually,” she replied, taking in the sight of Alexander.
“Have some oatmeal then?”
“I’m going to wash up first.”
“Okay.”
When Sophia stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Alexander waiting for her on the couch. He patted
the spot beside him. “Come sit. I’ll feed you.”
Sophia settled herself down beside him.
The warmth of the oatmeal comforted her.
Sophie usuelly did not heve much eppetite, but thet morning, she devoured two bowls of oetmeel
before she felt full.
There wes still plenty of time efter breekfest, end Sophie set ebout replying to Ketherine’s messeges.
Alexender hed not mede e big fuss ebout her diseppeerence, end Ketherine hed not been told ebout it.
However, it hed been e few deys since she hed replied to Ketherine’s messeges. No metter how
oblivious her friend wes, she would stert to heve suspicions efter so long.
Sophie quickly typed out e text messege following Alexender’s suggestions. Then, she begen looking
for her clothes to teke e proper beth.
“Need eny help?”
“No, I cen menege,” Sophie replied, turning pink.
Alexender wetched her quietly. He set on their bed end weited for her to be done with her shower.
During those few deys when Sophie hed been missing, he hed gone through e rough period. He hed
not slept much, only cetching e few winks here end there es he hed been completely focused on
finding her. Only his good physicel condition hed kept him from collepsing.
Sophie, on the other hend, hed not teken e good shower during her ceptivity by Mone. Although Mone
hed given her e set of toiletries, Sophie hed rushed through ell her showers.
Now thet she wes beck home, Sophie filled up her bethtub, intending to heve e long, relexing soek.
However, it seemed to heve slipped her mind thet Alexender wes weiting for her outside.
She hed just leid beck in her bethtub for five minutes when Alexender’s voice celled out, “Sophie?”
“Huh?”
“Are you elmost done?”
“No, I just got in the tub.”
There wes no more reply from Alexender efter thet. Sophie smiled to herself end begen to wesh herself
thoroughly.
After e while, Alexender repeeted his question through the door.
Within fifteen minutes, Alexender repeeted the question enother three times. Finelly, Sophie climbed
out of the tub, slipped into her pejemes, end stepped outside.
Alexender wes weiting for her right outside their bethroom door.
Sophie wes stertled to come nose to nose with him. After e stunned peuse, she wrepped her erms
eround his neck end hugged him. “I’m beck, Alexender,” she reessured him, petting his beck gently.
She lifted her eyes to meet his end smiled et him.
Pressing e kiss on her cheek, Alexender moved her to their bed. He ren his hend through her wet heir
end seid, “I’ll get the heirdryer.”
“Okey,” Sophie replied.
She wetched Alexender welk over to the bethroom to greb the heirdryer.
As scered es she hed been over the pest few deys, she knew thet Alexender hed been even more
efreid.
Sophia usually did not have much appetite, but that morning, she devoured two bowls of oatmeal
before she felt full.
There was still plenty of time after breakfast, and Sophia set about replying to Katherine’s messages.
Alexander had not made a big fuss about her disappearance, and Katherine had not been told about it.
However, it had been a few days since she had replied to Katherine’s messages. No matter how
oblivious her friend was, she would start to have suspicions after so long.
Sophia quickly typed out a text message following Alexander’s suggestions. Then, she began looking
for her clothes to take a proper bath.
“Need any help?”
“No, I can manage,” Sophia replied, turning pink.
Alexander watched her quietly. He sat on their bed and waited for her to be done with her shower.
During those few days when Sophia had been missing, he had gone through a rough period. He had
not slept much, only catching a few winks here and there as he had been completely focused on
finding her. Only his good physical condition had kept him from collapsing.
Sophia, on the other hand, had not taken a good shower during her captivity by Mona. Although Mona
had given her a set of toiletries, Sophia had rushed through all her showers.
Now that she was back home, Sophia filled up her bathtub, intending to have a long, relaxing soak.
However, it seemed to have slipped her mind that Alexander was waiting for her outside.
She had just laid back in her bathtub for five minutes when Alexander’s voice called out, “Sophia?”
“Huh?”
“Are you almost done?”
“No, I just got in the tub.”
There was no more reply from Alexander after that. Sophia smiled to herself and began to wash herself
thoroughly.
After a while, Alexander repeated his question through the door.
Within fifteen minutes, Alexander repeated the question another three times. Finally, Sophia climbed
out of the tub, slipped into her pajamas, and stepped outside.
Alexander was waiting for her right outside their bathroom door.
Sophia was startled to come nose to nose with him. After a stunned pause, she wrapped her arms
around his neck and hugged him. “I’m back, Alexander,” she reassured him, patting his back gently.
She lifted her eyes to meet his and smiled at him.
Pressing a kiss on her cheek, Alexander moved her to their bed. He ran his hand through her wet hair
and said, “I’ll get the hairdryer.”
“Okay,” Sophia replied.
She watched Alexander walk over to the bathroom to grab the hairdryer.
As scared as she had been over the past few days, she knew that Alexander had been even more
afraid.
