Back at home, Sophie sat on her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of Leo's warning. The threat lingered like a dark cloud over her. She knew that if she didn't comply, Leo would track her down and inflict his wrath on her and her family.
Sophie: (thinking) "How did my life come to this? I can't let him control us. I have to find a way out."
The safety of her family depended on her next moves. Despite the temporary peace of being home, Sophie's mind was consumed with plans and strategies to protect her loved ones and ultimately break free from Leo's grip.
The next morning, a knock on Sophie's door pulled her from her restless thoughts. Opening it, she found Leo's assistant standing there, holding a package.
Assistant: "This is for you. Your new uniform and... mouth freshener."
Sophie's face flushed with a mix of anger and resignation. She took the package, her mind racing with thoughts of what lay ahead.
Sophie: (thinking) "I'll play this game for now. But I won't let him win in the end."
Sophie slipped into the new secretary uniform and took a moment to look at herself in the mirror. Despite the fear and anger that simmered inside her, she couldn't help but think the outfit looked cool on her. It gave her a sense of determination and a reminder of her inner strength.
Sophie's moment of self-appreciation in the new outfit was cut short when Leo's assistant arrived to pick her up. Determined to maintain some semblance of control, she tried to assert herself.
Sophie: "I can go by myself."
The assistant, clearly under orders, wasn't having it. Without a word, he grabbed her arm and escorted her to the car, his grip firm and unyielding. Sophie's heart sank, but she knew she had to stay strong.
Sophie: "You guys don't have any respect."
The assistant's expression remained stoic as he led her to the car. Despite her anger, Sophie knew she had to endure this for the sake of her family. She climbed into the car, her mind racing with thoughts of survival.
As the car pulled up to the mansion, Leo's assistant turned to Sophie, his voice gruff.
Assistant: "Get down."
Sophie rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "You guys can talk now?"
The assistant's expression remained unchanged, but Sophie felt a small victory in voicing her defiance. She stepped out of the car, her mind steeled for whatever lay ahead.
As Sophie stepped out of the car, the servants lined up to welcome her by her full name.
Servants: "Welcome, Miss Sophia Morales."
The child from before approached her again, ready to polish her shoes. Sophie knelt down and gently placed a hand on the child's shoulder.
Sophie: "No, dear. You don't have to do that."
The child looked up at her with wide eyes, and Sophie could feel the weight of their shared fear and confusion. She straightened up, feeling a renewed sense of determination. She might be in Leo's world now, but she would not lose her humanity.
Leo stood at the entrance of the mansion, his eyes glinting with amusement as he spotted Sophie.
Leo: "Well, well, see who's come here."
