My food might even go cold just talking to my father as he keeps going over the same thing. I guess that’s how worried he was about me.

“I was ready to abandon everything here just so I could come back to you,” he says from the other end of the line. “If not for Mr Richards calling me back, I’d be on my way there by now. But you’re really fine?”

“Dad, I’ve already told you. I’m absolutely fine.” I chuckle. “I’m even having a meal with Sophie. Are you still not convinced?”

know what stressed me the most about this? It’s the fact that it happened when I wasn’t around. Even if it was a prank call, I really hope Dominic deals with whoever did this, just like he promised.”

As soon as he mentions Dominic, I’m reminded of when he called Sophie and spoke to me. I didn’t understand what was alright, but now it makes sense. I hope he gives me the details later of what happened.

Even before I finish talking to my father, my mother–in–law calls and I have to end the call with my father so I can speak to her. I already know what she wants to say. As I pick up and look over at Sophie with wide eyes, I whisper to her that the calls just keep coming.

“Oh, my dear, I just really wanted to hear your voice.” She sighs with relief, her voice heavy with emotion. “I just wish I could hug you right now and tell you how glad I am that this was all a lie.”

Her concern warms my heart and makes me smile. “You will when we see each other.”

“And what idiot went to such lengths?” She suddenly turns angry. “If Dominic doesn’t do anything about this, I’ll do it myself. This is absolutely nonsense!” Her tone switches again, sounding softer. “I’m sorry, my dear. I didn’t mean to yell. I just couldn’t bear anything bad happening to you when you recently got married and you’re my daughter now.”

Her touching words make me place a hand on my chest, and Sophie whispers to me, asking if I’m alright. I give her a nod, smiling brightly.

“I feel much better now that I’ve spoken to you. Even though my husband already told me that you were alright, I just needed to speak myself. I love you, my child.”

“I love you too, mom.” My voice cracks a little with emotion as I’ve received so much love.
