Chapter 4
As Alex approached the house entrance, Sophia noticed tha Alex was behind her.
“Haven’t you had enough p>
“Believe me,” Alex replied, “running into you is the last thing I wanted today p>
Sophia stepped out, blocking his path.
“So, what is it then? Are you here to remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?” “Mistake?” Alex’s tone grew colder.
“I could say the same. You think I enjoyed waking up and realizing I’d wasted my time with someone so shallow p>
“Shallow?” Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger.
“You’re just bitter because you know I’m right. You’re nothing but a loser, a gold- digger p>
Alex laughed, shaking his head.
“You’re delusional. I don’t need anything from you, least of your money p>
Sophia stepped even closer, her finger jabbing the air between them.
“Then what do you want? To ruin my life even more p>
“No, I’m not here to ruin anything.” Alex locked his eyes with hers. “I’m meeting my fiancée p>
“Your fiancée? You have a fiancée?” Sophia shocked.
“I’m here to meet someone named Sophia Lancaster at this address,” Alex’s patience wearing thin.
“I’m not looking for you. So, if you can help me out, call her, and I’ll leave as soon as possible p>
WTF p>
Sophia paused, her expression shifting from shock to realization. (1)
“Wait… you’re here for that Sophia Lancaster p>
Alex coldly replied.
“Yes! Can you please just get her? I don’t have time for games.” Sophia bit her lip, trying to mask the confusion swirling inside her. “There’s no need to call anyone. I’m… I’m Sophia Lancaster.” They stood there, staring at each other in stunned silence.
Just then, a voice called out from inside the mansion. “Alexander Leonhart p>
An old man stepped out, his face lighting up with a wide smile.
“Master told me you would come today! What are you doing out there p>
“Grandfather,” Sophia called.

The old man, Abraham Lancaster, turned towards them, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
He looked between them, his smile growing even wider as he had been waiting for this moment.
“So, you’ve met Alex, your fiancé. It’s great to know you both know each other.” Sophia quickly interjected, “We are not p>
“Call your parents, Sophia,” Abraham said, cutting her off,
“Gather everyone in the Great Hall. I have an announcement. You both are going to get married today p>
Sophia stood, shocked.
“Finally, my long-held wish can be fulfilled today,” Abraham’s voice trembled with happiness.
He walked over to Alex, his hand reaching out to grasp Alex s.
“Come, let’s go to the Great Hall. You’ll meet your in-laws.
Sophia watched them walk away, disbelief and anger surging through her.
She had lost her virginity to that man, and now she was supposed to lose her future too.
“This can’t be happening p>
She had dreamed of an extraordinary fiancé, someone worthy, someone heroic, not any rubbish!
Instead, she was now being handed to a man she could have picked off the street.
As CEO of Lancaster Group, known for her beauty and bright future, how could she marry such a man?
What would people think?
“No,” she decided. “I’ll stop this marriage, no matter the cost p>
In the Great Hall, Abraham guided Alex to an honored seat.
“How is Master p>
“Still healthy after a hundred years,” Alex replied.
“You’re young, successful, and humble. I’m fortunate to have a grandson-in-law like you. Sophia is a good person; please give her a chance to get to know you better p>
Alex nodded politely, but he doubt the possibility.
Sophia didn’t look like she wanted the chance.
“Wonderful, wonderf―” Abraham laugh joyfully.
However, just then, an angry voice cut in.
“Are you insane?! Sophia cannot marry him p>
Lady Lancaster, Abraham’s wife, angrily stormed into the Great Hall.
She was flanked by their two sons and two daughters-in-law, with Sophia trailing behind them.
