Sophia's Pov.

"Sophia!" I heard my step mom called and I ran to her. It was in the evening and we were all home doing nothing.

"Yes mam?" I asked as I was now standing in front of her. She was dressed in a long red formal dress. Her back hair tired into a low bun as usual and her face caked with makeup.

"Make me tea" she said and I nodded my head before I went into the kitchen and set the tea pot on the stove. I waited for the tea pot to whistle and them throw out the tea before adding three cubes of sugar, just how she liked it and served it to her.

"Here you go, mam" I said and she took it from me before drinking it.

"Your father and I will be going to an important event tonight. We are leaving in a few minutes. I want you to Clea this place and go to bed before we are back, do you hear me?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"Good. Now get out of my face" she says and I quickly got up and left.

After they left, I cleaned the entire house. Including washing the dishes, sweeping and cleaning the or bedroom. I them spread my blanket on the floor and lay there while taking out a book to read.

There is only one bedroom so they put me to sleep on the floor. I asked them if I could sleep in the couch but the said that I shouldn't. So here I am, laying on the floor

Also, the place usually get cold in the night, making it very hard to sleep at night. I usually talk to I mom before I sleep because I know she's watching over me and I also always wondered when will I get out of here.

I was sick and tired of both my parents. They treat me too back and I can't take it anymore. I just want to run away but that'll cause another problem.

Setting the book aside, I let out an exhausted sigh and set my book down. I pulled the duvet over me Snr closed my eyes.

It didn't take long for me to feel sleeping and darkness evaded my vision.

Mom, I need your help...

Unknown Pov.

It's been two days since I've asked my very close friend, Joe, to find out more about the girl and he's finally back after two long days.

"You've got what I've asked for?" I asked him as he entered the living. He was dressed in a suit as normal.

"Yeah, I've got it" he responded while he took as seat inside the couch and handed me a file that marked Sopia.

"We did some background check on here and here are the results." He said while I flicked through the pages.

I looked at the files as he read them to me and I see that she's from a nice background and I do know her too but we never actually met in person.

".....And there was a rumor going around that 'Her father had bet their house and his money'." He added and I nodded my head.

She don't seem bad at all!

"Is that all?" I asked him while I closed the file, looking all him.

"I think so" he replied while he running through the files for one last time.

"Well, thank you for helping" I said while getting up. He closed the file and placed it in his bag before he got up and shook my hands.

"No problem" he said and I smiled at him before walking him out after he had left.

I went and made a phone call to her parents to see if they would agree to a dinner.

"Hello, this is Mr. Scott, whom am I speaking with?" A unfamiliar voice asked through the phone.

"Hello, this is Mr. Knight and I would like to dis---"

"Mr. Knight?" He asked, he voice held shocked.

"Yes, Mr. Knight" I simply responded to his question.

"Oh, what a pleasure to talk to you! What can I do for you?!" He asked, his voice filled with excitement.

"I want to know if I could have dinner with your family tomorrow night around seven?" I asked him and head a female voice squeal in happiness.

"Who? Me and my family?" He asked surprised and I replied with a yes.

"Sure! No problem!" He said in a happytone.

"Good. I'll send my driver to pick you up. And also, make sure you bring your daughter with you" I said and he responded with a yes before he thanked me and I cut off.

I didn't know it would've been that easy but I was happy!

She might just be the one!

"Mary! Mary!" I shouted.

"I'm coming" she replied as I saw her walking quickly towards me "What can I get you sir?"

"Set the dinner table tomorrow! I need you to cook something good for a dinner tomorrow night. There will be guests so behave yourself" I told her and walk off.

I think I've just found my grandson a wife.
