The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 133

Chapter 135 Chapter 135

Inside the cramped apartment, Sophia stepped out of her bedroom and practically stumbled over her parents and Megan, all sprawled like dead weights on the

couch.

Then Marco slunk out of the kitchen, clutching a bottle of mineral water like he'd just stolen it.

He froze the instant he saw Sophia-like he was staring at an unwelcome ghost. The bottle slipped from his grip and fell on the floor, water splashing everywhere. “S–Sophia... how can you be here?" he gasped, sounding as if he right keel over at any moment. Panic churned in his gut.

His eyes flicked to a kitchen knife lying on the counter-grim thoughts swirling Ir his head. Did she know?

Did she know I sold her out?

Should I just grab that knife and make sure she never talks?

He swallowed hard, then looked all people on the couch and starting to panic.

Maybe I'd have to shut them all up...

"What do you mean?" Sophia's voice cut through his spiraling thoughts.

"I-I heard the Drakes kidnapped you," he blurted, voice unsteady. It felt like a poor attempt at acting clueless.

Sophia creased her brow. "Kidnapped? So, it was real?" she muttered, confusion twisting her features.

"Your parents said they came and took you," Marco pressed, more demanding this time. "So what happened? How'd you end up here, looking perfectly fine?"

A heavy sigh escaped Sophia's lips, her hands trembling slightly.

"I'm not sure. Harlan shoved me, I blacked out, then... I just woke up here."

Marco's shirt clung to his back, damp with sweat. "Did... did Harlan mention anything about me?" he asked, voice edged with desperation.

Maybe the fool had kept quiet.

Sophia gave him a questioning look. "You? Why on earth would Harlan be talking about you? Is there some kind of feud going on?"

"No!" he snapped too quickly. Then he tried to smooth it over.

"I-I only made a call to someone important to save you from Harlan. Maybe he
