Chapter 11

For a while, Sofia felt like she floated, drifting into the sea with the waves surrounding her–except, she never fancied swimming, and she disliked the water.

At first, she wondered why she felt this way. Wasn’t she going to meet. Alexander’s aunt? It was not his mother or his father; it was his aunt.

Sofia’s heart raced a bit faster as she approached Alexander’s aunt’s place. The butterflies in her stomach were doing somersaults, and she couldn’t shake off the nervousness. She fidgeted with the edge of her scarf, trying to distract herself from the jumble of thoughts in her head.

She should think about her plans with Karina, and focus on making those people suffer. However, for some unknown reason, it seems she had already forgotten the plans they concocted just a few hours ago.

Meeting someone important to Alexander was a big deal for her. She wanted to make a good impression, but uncertainty was like a foggy mist in her mind. What if she said the wrong thing or made a clumsy move? The idea of disappointing Alexander’s aunt made her feel like she was tiptoeing on thin ice.

Her racing mind was interrupted when Alexander suddenly held her hand. She turned towards him as he slowly drove the car into the parking lot of a two–story Japanese–style house.

“Calm down… she won’t bite.”

“I am not nervous,” she retorted quickly. “Why would I be?”

“You have been fidgeting since I picked you up…” he smiled.

Sofia immediately frowned and avoided his gaze. By now, the car was already inside the parking lot.
