Chapter 11: When the Past Drives the Present
The horn blared violently—long and angry, snapping Sophia out of her daze like cold water on skin.She slammed the brakes just in time, her entire body jerking forward as the car came to an abrupt halt. Her hands clutched the steering tightly, and her knuckles were pale from pressure. The flashy white SUV in front had stopped, caught in the gridlock. She had almost rammed into it.Her chest rose and fell quickly. Her heart thudded so loud that she could hear the echoes. But it wasn’t the near accident that shook her; it was everything that had just happened at the Ainsley Group headquarters.Michael.Michael Hargrove.The same man she kicked out of her house because he was poor and useless to her.
