The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

After their first class this morning, Sophia decided to confront Jade and her friends, Nyka and Emma. After leaving their classroom, she asked them to talk somewhere where there were no other students around.

Sophia wanted to talk to them privately. As much as possible, Sophia was avoiding others to find out what happened in the Queen's Hall. She would feel humiliated if ever other people would know about that incident.

She didn't know how she would face them. Her image and reputation would be ruined, thinking that she was an easy girl. She might lose her scholarship too if ever she would get a bad image out of this incident.

A scholar like her should always be a good role model to her fellow students. Mistakes like that were unacceptable even if she was the victim of some evil schemes. It was her fault for trusting the wrong person. That's what Sophia was thinking at that moment.

Since Jade and her friends were also planning to blackmail Sophia today, they agreed on talking to her. They chose to talk near the mini-forest where there were no people around.

"Jade, is it true? You knew what John and Lester were plotting against me that night?" Sophia was trying to control her negative emotions as she asked Jade in a calm tone.

Jade raised her eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "Who told you?"

Since they were planning to blackmail her today, there's no need to deny it.

"It's not important who told me. Just answer me. Did you already know their plan beforehand?" 

Sophia believed Matthew but she just wanted to hear the truth from Jade and her friends. She deserved an explanation from them. They were the reason why Marcus decided to get closer to her.

Sophia was thinking that Jade used her own brother for her own benefit.  She was suspecting that Marcus just approached her because Jade forced him to do so.

"Well, I think there's no use of denying it. Yes, we knew it. So what?" Jade answered Sophia. There was a hit of sarcasm in her voice.

Sophia clenched her fists after hearing those words from Jade. She already expected this but it still hurt her a lot.

"How can you do this to me? You knew but you did nothing!? You even tolerated them. Why are you doing this to me? I helped you. What did I do to deserve this?" Sophia's voice croaked. 

She didn't want to be affected so much but she couldn't help it. She felt betrayed. They toyed with her feelings. She didn't do anything wrong for them to do wicked things against her. 

Now she was asking herself why she got involved with them. She just wanted a peaceful life where she could study and accomplish her dream. But these mean girls were just making things difficult for her.

'After helping them? This is what I got in return…' Sophia felt both mad and sad right now.

After a few seconds, a peal of laughter was heard. Both Nyka and Emma burst out laughing while watching Sophia's reaction.

"Oh come on, Sophia, don't give us that surprised look on your face. Did you really think that you caught Marcus' attention just because you changed your appearance?" Nyka said, mocking Sophia.

Emma also joined the conversation. "Heh, Look, Sophia. Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you."

"Though you did a makeover, nothing changed… you are still the nerdy boring girl that we know. You are nothing compared to Athena. Marcus will always choose Athena over you, so stop dreaming already. He can never be yours. He will never ever like you," Emma's voice was filled with sarcasm.

Sophia gritted her teeth. She didn't know how long she could stand this, listening to them as they continued insulting her. They were looking down at her and making fun of her. She could see it the way they looked at her.

'Sophia, calm down. Don't let them get on your nerves. Because if you do, you will just appear like a pathetic loser,' Sophia reminded herself as she tried her best to compose herself and gather her emotions.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that this action could help her calm down. When she opened her eyes, she looked at them with her sharp gaze.

"From now on, don't bother me anymore. We have nothing to do with each other. Let's just treat each other as an invisible person. I don't know you and you don't know me." Sophia said with her stern cold voice.

She turned around to leave but before she could take a step, Jade stopped her by grabbing her elbow. "Sophia, where do you think you are going? We are not yet done talking."

Sophia looked down, gazing at Jade's arm that was holding her. A chilly glint flashed through her eyes. She shoved her hand off her forcefully.

"What more do you want from me? You already hurt my feelings!! Please stop bothering me anymore!!! Why can't you understand a simple word like that?" Sophia could feel the outburst of anger swelling up inside her.

She just wanted to stay away from them as fast as she could but it seemed that they won't stop bugging her.

"Sophia, I'm sorry to tell you that... we can't do that. Whether you like it or not, you will not be able to avoid us," Jade said meaningfully to her.

Sophia frowned upon hearing that. She watched them in confusion.

"What are you talking about? Who gives you the right? I will avoid you as much as I can. I don't want to be associated with any of you." Sophia responded firmly.

Nyka and Emma let out another sarcastic laugh.

"Ahuh, do you think you can still say that after seeing this?" Nyka picked up her phone inside her pocket and gave it to Sophia.

"We will not let you go, Sophia. You have to follow every word we say if you don't want this video to spread on the Campus," Nyka added, threatening Sophia.

'What video is she talking about?' Sophia's frown deepened when she heard Nyka.

For some unknown reason, she felt that this video meant trouble for her.

'I had a bad feeling about this. Don't tell me…' Sophia didn't know whether to accept the phone or not.

She was afraid to see something on that phone. Her heart started to race rapidly inside her chest.

She felt conflicted however she had no choice but to see it for herself. She just prayed that her assumption was wrong, or else, she would go crazy.

After a few moments of hesitation, Sophia finally got the courage to get the phone and check the video Nyka was talking about.

Her hands were trembling. She could hear the loud beating of her heart.

'Please, Lord. Please… I hope it's not the thing I am thinking,' Sophia continued wishing eagerly. She felt very anxious. Her heart seemed like it was gonna explode from too much nervousness.

The moment she looked at the phone screen and saw the familiar surroundings and the two figures on the video. Sophia felt like her world just crumbled and her heart broke into tiny pieces.

'No… No…No! this can't be… this can't be…'
