Being a Colton.

****
Frederick's POV.
****
I didn't know how Sophia Williamson entered my building or how she was even allowed into my office, I would have to talk to my staff about it.

I was busy in my office when she knocked and entered my office. To say I was shocked was an understatement. She wasped into my office like it was open to the public, which disallowed me to react quickly.

"What are you doing here, Sophia?!" I was annoyed and frustrated.

I was going to speak to Francesca about giving her my private line. Sophia had been texting and calling me non-stop, and I hated it; I didn't care about her anymore, and it seemed like nobody believed me. What angered me the most was that I was finally starting to like somebody else genuinely, and now she was back in my life.

"You have been avoiding my calls, Fred," Sophia let out softly and placed her purse on the centre table.

Behind my desk, I stared at her as if she was crazy because I felt like she truly was. Who gave her the audacity to come here? And why did she feel like I owed her anything?

"I don't know what you are trying to do here, but it will be best that you leave; I am very busy." I snapped.

"Busy?" She scoffed and folded her arms. "Fred, I heard you were a woman throughout the weekend, probably fucking her!" She sneered at the last statement.

"And how is that your business? I am a single man! I will dare whoever the hell I choose!"

"Frederick! Remember that we have a marriage alliance! You cannot just drop away!" She argued back and her arms. In this fight, she was not going to win because he owed her nothing.

He didn't know what gave her the impression that she could barge into his office and start making demands. It was so unfunny.

"We were supposed to get married, remember Fred, I cannot just watch what we have done." Sophia pressed on. She walked toward me, with a sad smile on her face.

I scoffed and looked away, trying to collect myself; I didn't want her anywhere near me.

"And who destroy that marriage alliance? Who ended our relationship? Who decided to go and cheat on me? Who decided that she wanted to fuck every dick she could find?! I guarantee you that is not me!" I sneered. I might be over the heartbreak but I was still bitter about the entire thing.

"You have some nerve coming to my office! Hell! Coming back here! What did you think? Would that happen, Sophia?! Do you think that I will accept you back into my life after the humiliation I went through?!"

"I..." she stopped; she stared into my eyes with a pained expression. Years ago, that would have brought me to my knees, but I didn't care; I wanted her out of my office.

"I know what I did back then was wrong, I know I messed up, but I am sorry, okay, if that is what you want you to hear, I apologize; I don't wish for all of this to happen. I was a child, I was immature, and I didn't know what I wanted."

I scoffed once again, she was unbelievable. I was so heartbroken back then, but I didn't care about her feelings.

"Sophia, I need you to leave! I don't want to embarrass you by calling security!"

"Fred... please... remember what we had! I know about all the flings you had! I know you have not had anything serious. I know you still love me, just admit it." she raised her hands towards my cheek, attempting to take my chin.

I took it, with a clenched jaw, "How dare you?!" I was done with it. She had a smug smirk on her face, I was livid. The fact she was standing so close to me, was testing my self-restraint. I knew Francesca liked that and I didn't want her to humiliate her friend.
