Stunned, it suddenly struck Sophia that something was amiss. The picture where she was watching TV didn’t look like it was taken from outside the house. Judging from the angle of the picture, it was taken from the entrance to the living room.
However, there was no way she wouldn’t have noticed it if she was on the couch and someone was taking a picture of her from the living room entrance. The more she stared at the picture, the more terrified it made her feel.
After staring at it for a long while to no avail, she just couldn’t figure out exactly when the picture was taken. Clutching her cell phone, she sent another text asking for the identity of the sender.
This time, the sender stopped replying, and Sophia didn’t ask again, either. She was usually calm, and all the more she had to remain calm now that the other person wanted to cause her panic. Lying in bed again with her cell phone in hand, she couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how she tried.
Her mind was clear and confused at the same time. There were many things she had to figure out and everything seemed clear, but she just couldn’t understand it. Closing her eyes, she sighed. Forget it, I’ll just stop thinking about it if I can’t figure it out. She was never a person who made things difficult for herself, and thus, she continued to stay in bed in a half-asleep state.
When dawn came, she heard the sound of John’s car returning, and she instantly awakened. Rushing to the window, she saw his car gradually coming to a stop in the yard, and he entered the living room in quick steps after hopping out of it.
Sophia waited a few moments and heard the sound of the bedroom door opening. Twirling around slowly, she remarked, “You’re back.”
Taken aback and still carrying the chilly morning air with him, John stopped in his tracks at the door. “Why are you up so early?”
“Yeah, I slept too much yesterday and couldn’t sleep at night.” With her eyes fixed on him, she asked, “Did you manage to find out anything from the man yesterday?”
Stepping into the bathroom, he answered, “A little.”
John took off his clothes and chucked them into the bin before jumping into the shower for a thorough wash. In fact, he was exhausted and hadn’t slept much last night.
While he was in the shower, Sophia sat on the bed and stared out the window with her cell phone in her hands. Even when she heard the sound of John coming out of the bathroom, she didn’t look at him nor moved an inch. With a towel draped around himself, he went through the closet and changed into his clothes as though no one was watching.
“I have something to show you,” Sophia declared after a long while.
“Huh?” John paced over and asked, “What is it?”
Passing over her cell phone, she said, “Pictures of me. Look, how do you like them?”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
