Chapter 3

Finley didn’t expect to meet Sofia again in such a place, nor did he expect her to be so disfigured.

As he gazed at the woman before him, an inexplicable heaviness settled in his heart. He raised his hand to cup Sofia’s cheek and stared into her eyes.

The woman before him struggled out of his grip. She looked like she was suffocating as she tried to smack his hand away to hide her scars.

A slight furrow formed on Finley’s brow as he observed Sofia. Her palms were rough, adorned with thick calluses. Her short hair looked dry and messy as it framed her panic- stricken face.

His brow furrowed deeper, and his lips curled up in mockery.

“Miss Campbell. I see that you’ve been well?”

Sofia’s entire body trembled. Her lips quivered as her anxiety washed over her like a tidal wave.

The crowd was stunned by the scene before them. They started to assume that Mr. Stewart knew the cleaning lady.

The door to the room swung open once more, and Brian entered with confident strides, intending to say something to his good buddy Finley. However, his gaze was

immediately captivated by Sofia, who knelt before Finley, catching his attention. He approached Finley, who now sat on a plush chair.

“Sofia!” Brian said. “Why are you kneeling? We’re all friends here!”

Looking slightly dazed, Brian took Sofia’s hand and half- pulled, half–dragged her to her feet.

Sofia stumbled as Brian helped her up. Still shaking, she thanked him with a nod.

Her actions caused Finley to look even more irritated.

She wanted to run away. The man in front of her was a demon. A demon that she couldn’t afford to mess with.

She wanted to live her life in peace. If it weren’t for her mother surviving the car accident and her brother, whose whereabouts were still unknown, she would have killed herself in jail.
