Chapter Eleven

Sophia

Why do I feel like my days are mashing together? It has only been three days since Maxim forced himself into my life. I feel like my life has become too uncertain. I’m not sure of what is right and what is wrong anymore. When I told my dad that I wanted to follow in his footsteps because he was my hero and I wanted to be like him, this was not what I had in mind. I wish he were still alive. He was the only person I could talk to without the fear of being judged or ridiculed. He was my best friend. Now it feels like I’m all alone in this world. Tears form in the back of my eyes. God, I miss him so much.

“I’m scared,” Elena says, and I try to control my emotions before I reply, “I know, love. We have to stay positive.”

“It’s hard, but I’ll try. How much time do we have left?”

“We should be arriving in two minutes. Just hang in there. okay?”

I’m worried about her. She is too young. Has she even enjoyed her life? I can’t imagine what she has gone through in her short twenty years. I hope Andrei isn’t like her dad. She needs a break, and I’m scared for the baby. I’ll talk to Andrei about this because she needs to eat more, she’s underweight, and that’s not good for the baby. I turn on the radio for background music as we drive the last bit to the clinic in silence.

When we arrive, Andrei is already waiting by the door. I throw the car in park because when Elena sees him, she practically flies out of the vehicle. She runs to him and hugs him. He seems to care about her from the few interactions I’ve seen, but I don’t trust him. Things are always different behind closed doors. I sigh. Let's get this over with.

Before I can open the door, Maxim is opening it for me. I’m surprised at the gesture. No one has ever opened the door for me. Not even things with Luca were good. Maxim gives me his hand to help me out. I, being me, refuse it and get out without his help. When I’m out of the car, I turn to him. He has his usual mask on, a mixture of constipation and grumpiness. He kind of looks like Garfield, now that I think about it.

“And they say chivalry is dead,” I say to him, trying not to fall into a fit of laughter over my thought.

“Who am I if not chivalrous?” He gives me a sexy smile that makes me melt. God, he’s too sexy for his own good.

“You should add that tidbit to your dating profile. Maybe you can find someone and leave me alone,” I say while walking away.

Before I can take a step further, he grabs my wrist and turns me around to face him. “You need to stop doing that. I’m getting fucking tired of you manhandling me,” I snap at him.
