Sophie’s pov

“What?” Sergio taunted, leaning his upper half forward and mocked me. “Surprised that I know about this one too?”

My heart was beating uncomfortable, and painfully.

“No,” I finally answered, trying to make it seem like he did- n’t have me close to having my legs feel like jello with fear.

“I’m not surprised at all. You’re Sergio Harrington after all. A very powerful man. Powerful enough to try to control your grandson’s life.” I said, removing all fake friendly emotion in my voice.

“I’m trying to make sure my grandson has the best future and doesn’t screw things up like his mother had done,” He snarled lowly, rolling his eyes over my figure in distaste.

“But clearly I was too late. Seeing as he ended up with an orphan street rat like you.” He sneered looking around the room and glaring angrily at the roses.

“Your kind doesn’t deserve this kind of gesture.” He spat.
