A few days earlier~

I look at the big beautiful portrait hanging on my bedroom's wall thinking how my life went from me living in euphoria to me living in a hell.

The woman in the portrait was smiling so brightly like always like there was no grief in her life, like she was free in her own beautiful life without any brutality or ruthlessness.

"Daddy~" I was snap out of my thoughts when my son Ethan ran up to me while smiling the same bright smile like that in the portrait.

I smiled and picked him up "what is it, my champion?"

"When are we going" he asked while touching my hair, a habit I was way too used too.

"Lets go now, I was waiting for you boy" I pinched his cheeks and started to walk with him still in my arms.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Park the car here David, I need to get something." I told my driver to stop the car near the store so I could buy some flowers or fruit. I am visiting Liam's mother at the hospital. Liam is my buddy, my best friend since childhood.

He was here for a vocation with his family but unfortunately his mother fell sick. She is like my own mother, always treated me like his own son and even Ethan too like his grandson.

I was looking for daisies, actually they are aunt lisa's favourite. She likes Gerbera daisies better so I should get them.

After getting the flowers i was done. I was in my car when I thought about buying her some fruits too.

So I took Ethan with me and went in the store to get a fruit basket.

My basket was almost done when I noticed that Ethan wasn't anywhere near me. I suddenly panicked.

I was looking for him in this big store but I couldn't find him anywhere. I asked my bodyguards, who always follow me behind with their car, to search for Ethan without making a fuss.

I was checking the toiletry section when I saw someone crouching down with her back towards me.

It looked like she was talking to someone I inched closer and try to listen, and then I heard my son's voice, I couldn't explain how relieved I was but the next words he let out shocked me.

"You are so beautiful mommy~ daddy will like you"

WHAT!!? mommy?

The girl or woman replied something but I didn't pay attention anymore-

"What are you doing?" I asked her and expected her to turn around and reply but she didn't move a muscle and suddenly became tensed.

I got inpatient, why isn't she moving or doing anything? Is she deaf or what?

"I am talking to you lady, are you deaf?" I snapped coldly losing my patience. And at that Ethan saw me and ran towards me giggling brightly like ever before.

"Daddy~" I hugged him in relief kissing his forehead, thank God he is fine. The girl too turned around and-

I felt like I became paralysed, it was like seeing a ghost. It was like seeing my Sofia standing in front of me once again. I watched how her red lips were parted like she was shocked then her cute nose and her warm beautiful ocean blue eyes-

Wait no she doesn't have ocean blue eyes, she is not my Sofia. I am so stupid how could even I compare her to my- MY Sofia. She is nothing compare to Sofia where Sofia had soft features this girl has sharp ones, how could I even think like that?
