Sophie signed inwardly thinking about what she should do about this crazy maniac Lucia, who thinks she the 'Persephone Zaho' is after her fiance's and is seducing him. who is a matter of fact is her own brother?
Her brother isn't even engaged to this woman. It was all a misunderstanding in the first place he loved the Maxwell's eldest daughter.
Listening to Lucia's shrill voice and irritating blabbering her head was starting to throb with pain and her irritation was apparent on her face and anyone with brains could see that her patience was running thin, alas this Lucia failed to understand this.
Seeing Sophie losing her patience everyone in the room shuddered inwardly and thought 'Oppos now she has done it' Mother Zaho, on the other hand, was cheering happily 'Finally my plan is in motion this is great just a little more and when Sophie snaps I'll tell her to go to Asia on a vacation She is already dead tired and will agree. Everything is perfect.'
The thing was all the children of this family loved each other to death and it was not like they liked to burden their younger sister and brother, but they did not want a fight over the property and business so they came up with the idea that all of them will have a chance to manage the entire business one by one and then choose and make final discussion.
Sophie and Luca were the last ones left they decide to do it together and they only had a few months before their chance ended and after that, as they had discussed they will take over the business in the field of choice they were interested in and liked.
But still during their management duration they secretly make their siblings work, Oufcours the siblings would agree they could not see Sophie and Luca in pain.
None of them could see anyone of their siblings like that. They considered even their cousins as siblings and they all were very harmonious.
Lucia continued enraging Sophie and after what seemed like an eternity to the family members Sophie snapped and said in a cold and bone-chilling voice ''Miss Maxwell do you have any conscience about what you are barking like a rabid dog in this Manor. Well, let me make it clear Ren is my elder brother and I am his little sister Sophie if that name doesn't ring a bell then this might Persephone Zaho. So now I would like to tell you that I have no need what so ever to seduce my brother and I have no need for his money, now would you please escort yourself out I won't be seeing you off, and we won't be doing any business with the Maxwell's anymore. Goodbye''
Lucia fell and slumped on her knees and in a horrified tone said ''Yoy are lying, yes you are lying you....yo..you cant be...Persephone no ..no.....n, and we will still have business deals with the Zaho's ....I.....I know it....my Renren won't let any....anything .....happen ..tt...to me''
Luca tired by the show got up and said ''Idiot's don't even know when to leave. Guards drag this mad woman out.'' Luca inwardly thought 'Mom is scary as ever, she always gets what she wants.'
He looked at his father and uncles all listed to their woman and loved them dearly and signed. He turned towards his twin.
He asked her ''So...What now you don't look too good, what are you planning to do now.''
Sophie let out a sigh and said ''I don't know maybe take a vacation a break beside our chance is coming to an end soon anyway and one of you could take over temporarily.''
That's when Celestia and Father Zaho's brains clicked and without realizing it they, let out a ''OOOhhhh'' and thought 'So in the end it won't cause chaos.'
Their last hope and idea to make Sophie stay at any cost went down the drain.
Truthfully Celestia did not want Sophie to go especially when she was finally able to make time for herself. Right after graduating high school Luca and Sophie had to deal with the family business and so she hardly had time.
The father on the other hand did not want her baby girl to go. Though he considered 'that' man ideal man for his daughter he could not just let her go like that to him especially without testing him once and moreover he could not see his daughter heartbroken.
They both signed inwardly when they saw mother Zaho glare at them. How Could they make this scary woman angry??!!!
Mother Zaho danced with joy in her heart and asked putting on a worried expression ''My dear so you want to go on vacation to relax, fine but I am worried about your safety and health so would you please go to Asia and stay in China for a while. You see my best friend lives their so I would be able to rest assured knowing you are at a place where I know you are safe and healthy and in right hands, also I would be able to check on you through her.''
Sophie shook her head in helplessness and said ''Fine but I will stay where I want to and do what I want to. Ok?'' She knew there was no escaping her mother and changing her mind very well, so at least she could make some negotiations Right??
Mother Zaho immediately agreed. At least she will be going where she wants her to in China and the plan would work perfectly.
Sophie started walking up thee stories to go to her room and rest. While everyone in the room had shocked written on their faces they could not believe that their mother just acted like she did just set her daughter up.
Father Zaho just shook his head and Celestia stood there with her mouth wide open. They all knew all about her plan and were still recovering from the shock after hearing it and now this act came, they did not think they all could handle this drama.
Mother Zaho looked and them and said ''What are you looking at, there is no reality T.V show going on ere, go do your works already. Geez.''
Sophie had made her decision about going on a vacation and resting. That's all that mattered to her.
The next morning Sophie woke up to see a very horrifying scene in front of her. Maids were packing all her stuff and the head Buttler just entered and kept her passport with her ticket to China City A on her bedside table.
Not able to understand what was going on for a minute she lacked her tongue.
Then suddenly it clicked to her all the events that took place yesterday. A sigh escaped her lips she knew this was her mother's doing and she could not argue with her.
When she saw the city she jumped startled that is where Shi Shasha and her bro Yining is (2 cousin) are right now.
Noticing that the flight was today horrified Sophie started getting ready.
Completely oblivious to the storm taking place in her twin's room right next to her.
Mother Zaho and Luca were fighting over why Luca could not go with Sophie. Since Sophie and Luca were kids they did everything together they are practically inseparable and looked just like each other.
Since their elder brothers and sisters were mostly very busy they used to stick together like glue and paper.
Luca asked angrily ''Why can't I go with my sister we always do everything together so why now??'' Mother Zaho tried to reason with him ''Sweety she is going to see 'him' you cannot go there, and I know you will beat him up if he tried to get close to Sophie and that's not what we want we want.''
They had a long discussion over this and in the end, Mother Zaho threatened Luca with marrying him off to some stupid heiress. Luca gave up scared at the thought of marrying and in hopes that his twin can find her happiness in her love life as he knew she never had any romantic relationship nor even a pretend boyfriend, she had zero experience with such things he signed thinking about his twin love life But then who was he to complain he never had any relationships either.
Sophie got down the stairs and was in the large lobby when she saw her twin sipping his tea without any luggage and with a frown asked ''Luca where is your luggage we have flight remember common get up we are not using our private jet or plane this time we are using a normal plane to avoid attention. Hurry up already.''
Before Luca could answer their mother beat him too and said ''Sweetheart Luca will be staying as he is needed here, I need him.''
Sophie frowningly answered ''If Luca is not going then even I am not, I can not go without him I need him more than you do we are always together, no differences even this time.''
Luca was teary-eyed and he was about to say he would go with her and just then mother Zaho started fighting with Sophie and in the end knowing, there is no winning against her mother she agreed before going she hugged everyone and started crying uncontrollably whiling hugging Luca she did not want to leave him.
Mother Zaho kept glaring at Luca saying with her eves 'DO NOT CRY, DO NOT LET HER KNOW, NOT A SINGLE TEAE SHOULD DROP' She somehow managed to separate Sophie from Luca and dropped her off at the airport with father Zaho, while Sophie stopped crying.
At the manor now Luca was crying like a child it was their first time apart.
Sophie boarded the plane and slept through most of her flight exhausted from work and crying.
