Chapter 93: I Miss You Di!
Sophie’s POV
The mansion felt suffocating, despite its expansive rooms and luxurious spaces. I paced the floor of my new bedroom, running my fingers over the silk bedspread that probably cost more than our entire apartment’s rent. My father’s attempts to make me comfortable only emphasized the gaping hole in my heart—the broken relationship with Diane.
The weight of what I’d done pressed down on me, making each breath a conscious effort. How could I have betrayed my sister so completely? The sister who had always been there for me, who had stood by me through everything.
Now here I was, surrounded by luxury and wealth beyond my imagination, and yet I’d never felt more hollow.
I dialed my mother’s number, my fingers trembling so badly I had to try twice before getting it right.
"Mom," I said the moment she answered, my voice cracking. "I can’t stay here. It’s too much—all of this." I gestured around the room, knowing she couldn’t see me but needing to express my overwhelming emotions.
"Sophie? What do you mean? Where are you?" Confusion colored her voice.
I took a deep breath. "I’m... I’m at Dad’s. Andrew’s. I’ve moved in with him."
The silence that followed was deafening.
" You’ve what?" my mother finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. ’Sophie, well, that’s your decision to make now. He’s your father, and a good one, despite the fact he left us. And, as you know, I can’t make decisions for you regarding this anymore."
"I know, Mom," I interrupted, tears streaming down my face. "I know, He’s trying to make amends, and I... I had nowhere else to go since I don’t feel safe about what liam would do if he finds out about what I did."
