I Ran From My Psycho Step-brother Straight Into The Alpha's Lap novel Chapter 88

**Chapter 88**

Sophie found herself mesmerized by the enchanting coffee shop that stood before her. It was unlike any establishment she had ever encountered. The expansive windows allowed sunlight to flood the space, causing it to sparkle like a jewel. Delicate café tables were artfully arranged throughout, inviting patrons to sit and savor their drinks. Underfoot, a stunning gray hardwood floor lent a modern touch, harmonizing beautifully with the sleek white serving counter that also served as a casual dining area, complete with tall bar stools that beckoned for leisurely conversations.

The atmosphere was further enhanced by hanging white pots filled with vibrant greenery, which added a refreshing touch of nature to the decor. Above, white lights dangled from exposed wooden beams, casting a warm glow over the inviting scene. Here and there, pieces of wall art punctuated the space with splashes of color, each telling its own story.

“This is the most beautiful shop I’ve ever seen,” Sophie exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder and delight.

Torin, standing beside her with a proud smile, replied, “I tried to capture the essence of that outdoor oasis you loved so much at the restaurant we visited on our last date.”

Overcome with emotion, Sophie turned to him and threw herself into his arms. He caught her effortlessly, holding her tightly against his chest, feeling the warmth radiate between them.

“I can’t believe you did this for me,” she murmured, her voice muffled against his shirt, a mixture of disbelief and joy flooding her heart.

“Get used to it, baby. I’m planning on spoiling you for the rest of your life,” he said with a playful grin, tipping her head back gently to meet her gaze. He leaned down, pressing his lips against hers in a tender kiss. When he pulled back, a spark of confusion flickered in Sophie’s eyes as she watched him kneel before her. In that moment, realization washed over her like a wave. Tears sprang to her eyes, blurring her vision.

“Sophie,” he began, his voice steady but filled with emotion, “you have made the happiest man in the entire world. Would you do me the honor of becoming my mate? I know we don’t usually propose or follow the human tradition of rings, but I thought maybe that would make it more real for you.”

In his gaze, Sophie noticed a hint of uncertainty, a vulnerability that tugged at her heartstrings.

“Yes,” she said, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her cheeks. In that instant, she felt an unwavering certainty that she had never experienced before in her life.

As she watched Torin slide the most exquisite ring onto her finger, her breath caught in her throat. The intricate design was a masterpiece—at its center sat a magnificent diamond, surrounded by two delicate silver bands adorned with small black diamonds that twisted together like a loving embrace around the larger stone.
