Chapter 28 - Franklin and Sophia exchange gazes

"Really?" Sophia's eyes widened in shock. " Then maybe I shall meet him." completing her sentence as quickly as she could, she lifted herself and strode towards the door. William's eyes stared at her with shock. He followed him with an alarmed expression.

" Girl! Girl! don't do that, this isn't the right moment." William spoke in a jiffy. Sophia turned her head at William, radiating an assertive behaviour." I know what I am doing, sir. Joe is my lover and I can't live without him. Joe will free me from the shackles of this monster, please don't stop me." Sophia's facial expression was flat.

She maintained eye contact with William. William could sense a flame radiant in her orbs. It was a signal that she won't cease her actions. William's eyelids lifted and eyebrows creased." Girl, he is a playboy. He won't keep you happy. Your pairing can never be possible. Try to understand me. He will break your sensitive heart, baby girl. Then, only Edward will fix it up, but your passion will die. This should not happen." William's concern did not affect Sophia.

She opened the latch and went outside the room, William strode after her. Sophia's hands were clenched tightly as she investigated every room. Not even a nook was left unchecked. She would go inside the room and investigate with a rigid expression.

Every effort on her part wasted her time straight. " Maybe they are in the Great Hall, let's check there. It is the place where Mr Eddie mostly stays." She strode towards the Great Hall, while William trotted behind her.

As she was about to open the huge gate of the Great hall, William grabbed her hand. Sophia's eyes trailed slowly up towards her hand in William's grasp. Her face switched to snarled expression. " Leave my hand, you can't control me now," Sophia grumbled.

Shortly, William lowered his head to peak at the smooth face of the playful wench. His face was closer to Sophia's. He drew his lips closer to her ears, whispering," I can and I will." saying so, he pressed her mouth tightly, with his thick palms, allowing her no moan.

" mmm leave.. me.." Sophia mumbled while Willaim controlled her as she jiggled in his grasp. Then taking a deep breath, she uttered" Joe, protect me." Her voice was echoed in the Great Hall.

" Who is uttering my unnatural name?" Franklin raised himself from the comfy chair. Eddie looked at him with doubt, moving his orbs to the door, from where voices aroused.

" I think I can recognise this voice. it's calling my pet name again and again. I need to go out." Frank jiggled his finger, recalling the similar voice. " It's Ms Sophia's voice. But how does he know about her? Something is going to be unfortunate." Eddie pondered over the event while moving his orbs sideways, placing his thumb and index finger on the chin and narrowing his eyes.

From the opposite side of the door, Sophia spoke to William " They have heard me, sir. Now seal my mouth, you are free to do anything." Sophia sneered at William as she tilted her head. " You will repent for it, lady. You don't know what you have done, dear," William muttered with a gloomy expression and tensed brows.

As Joe opened the Great Hall door, a gorgeous, heart-warming, dainty princess emerged in front of her. She was unfurling the frill of her frock when she raised her eyes to look at Frank. Both of them gazed eye in eye, without caring about the fellows surrounding them.

Sophia's whole face charmed up at seeing her Joe(Franklin). She clasped his hands gently, taking them in her palm and caressing it. " Joe," Sophia pronounced softly from her slightly split-up lips.

Such a scene shattered something inside Eddie. It seemed to him that something broke inside him and plunged down the depth. Eddie lost himself in the abysm of darkness. He stood there paralysed, seeing both the fellow exchange gazes. Was it jealousy?

" Master, master, what happened to you?" Williams's voice trembled as he shook Eddie's shoulder. " Master, you won't believe it. I took pains to stop her from approaching this place. Sophia's lover is no one but Frank and Frank only."

Eddie's flaming orbs shifted at Willaim. " Didn't she tell you, her lover's name, yesterday?" Eddie questioned in a hoarse tone." Master, she told me that her lover's name is Joe. I didn't know that she is talking about Frank. If we had known earlier, we would have controlled her or charmed her. But now, nothing is possible." William spoke while playing with both hands' fingers.

"Where had they met?" Eddie began scratching his head with his palm. He cleared his throat, making both the paralysed creatures come out of their imaginations. He went straight toward Sophia and asked," Dear, where did you meet this guy?" Eddie asked in a polite tone.

Sophia's orbs moved on to Franklin and then rested on Eddie. Since she felt like Joe will take her away, her anxiety faded away. She hoisted her chest straight and answered," We met at a park and fell in love. He lives 20km away from my aunt's house, he told me. Is he your brother? Mr Franklin or simply Joe, I didn't know you are a vampire." her confidence dropped at the thought that Joe is a vampire too.

" How could you guys fall in love at such a first meeting? Frank, explain this." Eddie rested his hand on Frank's shoulder, looking straight into his eyes, with an outraged expression. Eddie stood silent, waiting for his brother's response.

Sophia stared at Frank with a curious expression. She wanted him to prove himself in front of his outraged brother. She, by no means, could leave Joe and stay with that beast, who oed that palace. Edward, though a human vampire and Joe's perfect match, couldn't make a space inside Sophia's negligent heart. She was deeply in love with Frank and had got an opportunity shining in front of her.

Sophia's body heated up as her anxiety levels picked up. She pursed her lips and stared at both the fellows, failing to drop her wink. It was to see how Frank defends his assertion.
