The evening comes she sits alone in the room, her mind racing with thoughts of escape.
Suddenly, the door to the room creaked open,
Myra/ Faye: Mommy
Sofia: Hey my love, am sorry I yelled at you, okay, I didn't mean it I was so angry. We can't stay here okay, I will look for a way to leave
Myra: what about daddy
Sofia: Do you like to stay with Uncle Macro? He's been there since you were born
Faye: I do like Uncle Marco but his not daddy
Myra: Can daddy come with us
Sofia's heart ached at the sight of her children, their small faces filled with confusion. She reached out, pulling them close to her as she fought back tears.
Sofia: I know you want your daddy, but Daddy has done some very bad things. And we can't stay here with him. I'm going to take you to a place where we can be safe, where Daddy can't hurt us anymore. Okay?
Sebastian walks in just then
Sebastian's eyes softened as he gazed down at his children, his expression filled with love and remorse.
Sebastian: Daddy made a mistake, ( he whispered, his voice filled with emotion ). I hurt your mother, and I'm so sorry for that. But I'm going to do everything I can to make it up to her. Can you forgive me?
Faye and Myra looked up at him, their small faces filled with trust and devotion.
Faye/Myra: We forgive you, Daddy ( they whispered, their voices small and sincere ).
Sebastian turned his attention to his daughters, his face lighting up with a smile as he asked them the question.
Sebastian: What do you girls want for dinner
Faye/Myra: Pizza! ( they shouted in unison, their faces alight with excitement).
Sebastian laughed, his eyes twinkling with amusement. He remembers the night with sofia when they ordered pizza. The girl behave like their mother
Sebastian: Pizza it is then, ( he said, ruffling their hair playfully ). I'll go order it now.
He turned to leave the room, pausing in the doorway to look back at Sofia
Sebastian hesitated in the doorway, his eyes fixed on Sofia's face as he asked his question.
Sebastian: What would you like to eat, Sofia? ( he asked, his voice low and gentle ). I want to make sure you have something you enjoy.
Sofia shifted uncomfortably, her heart racing as she struggled to find the words to respond. She knew that accepting his offer would be a sign of forgiveness, and she wasn't ready for that.
Sofia: I need my phone to call my mother, she would be ready
Sebastian: I will give it to you but not now
Sebastian nodded, his expression understanding.
Sebastian: I know this is hard for you, Sofia. But I promise I'll do everything I can to make things right. You just need to give me a chance
Sofia straightened her shoulders, her expression hardening as she spoke.
Sofia: I don't need your help, Sebastian, ( she said, her voice strong )I can take care of myself and my children without you.
Sebastian: You think you can just walk away from me sofia? ( he growled, stepping towards her ). Do you think you can just forget about everything we had?
Sofia: I did it before and I will do it again
Sebastian: girls let's give Mommy time to cool off. We will be downstairs meet us anytime you are ready
The twins looked up at their father, their small faces filled with confusion and concern.
Faye/ Myra: Okay, Daddy ( they whispered, their voices small and uncertain).
Sebastian gave Sofia one last, seething look before turning and leading the twins out of the room, the door slamming behind them.
Sofia sank to the floor, tears streaming down her face, She knew that Sebastian wasn't going to let them go easily. He was unpredictable and volatile.
Sofia crept down the stairs, her body tensing as she listened to the voices coming from the living room.
Sebastian:…and you can be the princesses of the castle, ( she heard Sebastian say, his voice soft and coaxing ). You can have anything you want. All you have to do is be good girls and listen to Daddy.
Faye and Myra giggled excitedly, their small voices filling Sofia's heart with dread.
Faye: Mommy will love it here, ( Faye said, her voice filled with hope).
Myra: Does that mean we are a family now
Faye roll her eyes
Sebastian: Yes my cupcake. We are a family and going to be a happy one
Myra: Does that mean you would kiss mommy
Myra's innocent question hung in the air, and Sebastian's eyes fell on Sofia, a smirk playing across his lips.
Sebastian: Oh, I'm sure we can arrange that, ( he purred, his voice dripping with innuendo ).
Sofia's heart raced, her skin crawling with disgust as she watched Sebastian's gaze travel over her body.
Faye: Mommy and Uncle Marco kissed, she thought we were sleeping. Daddy if Mommy kisses Uncle Marco is he our family too because
Sebastian: Kissing another man in front of my kids um
Faye, sensing the tension in the room, stepped forward.
Faye: Mommy? ( she asked, her voice small ). Are you okay?
Sofia: Yes baby Mommy is okay. Am just hungry
Myra: Daddy order chicken noodles for you. Come and eat Mommy
She ran to her and pulled her to the dinner table. She sat down and took the food about to eat
Faye: Daddy are you not feeding Mommy like you feed us
Sofia: I can do it myself
Sebastian watched Sofia closely as she began to eat, his gaze lingering on her face.
Sebastian: Of course, my dear, ( he murmured, his voice low and gentle ). I'm sorry, I forgot you're not a little girl like them.
Sofia swallowed, her hands shaking as she took a bite of the noodles. She could feel Sebastian's eyes on her, his gaze making her skin crawl.
Myra beamed up at her, her small face shining with excitement.
Finally, the meal came to an end, and Sofia helped the twins clean up the dishes.
Sofia: Time for bed ( she said, her voice gentle ). Go upstairs and brush your teeth, and I'll tuck you in.
Faye and Myra nodded, their small faces shining with excitement as they raced up the stairs to their room.
Myra and Faye giggled as they jumped into bed, their small bodies lying on the bed. The twins looked at each other, their small faces filled with determination.
Faye: I know what we can do, ( she whispered, her eyes shining with excitement ). We can get Mommy and Daddy to marry each other! Then they'll be a family forever.
Myra gasped, her eyes wide with wonder.
Myra: That's a great idea! ( she exclaimed ). But how can we make that happen?
The twins put their heads together, their small voices filled with excitement as they plotted their plan.
The twins crept out of their room, their small footsteps muffled by the thick carpet as they made their way to their parent's room. They peeked around the door, their small hearts pounding with excitement as they watched Sofia and Sebastian talking in low voices.
Faye: Come on, ( whispered, her eyes filled with determination ). Let's do it now!
Myra: Mommy!
Myra called out, her voice echoing through the room as Sofia and Sebastian turned to look at the twins.
Sofia: What is it, sweetie?
Myra: Can we sleep with you and daddy
Sofia's face was a mask of indecision, but before she could protest, Sebastian spoke up.
Sebastian smiled, his expression warm and gentle.
Sebastian: Of course, my darlings, ( he said, his voice soft and reassuring ). You can sleep with us tonight.
Faye and Myra beamed, their small face lighting up with happiness as they climbed into bed with her parents.
Myra: Daddy and Mommy sleep in the middle, Faye sleeps on Daddy's right I will sleep on Mommy's left
Sofia's body tensed as she settled into the bed between Sebastian and her daughters, her heart racing as she felt Sebastian's arm wrap around her waist.
Sebastian: Good night, girls, ( he whispered, his voice filled with warmth ) Sweet dreams.
Myra and Faye cuddled up to their parents, their small bodies relaxing into the softness of the bed as they drifted off to sleep.
Sofia lay awake for a long time, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as she struggled to make sense of the situation.
Sofia shifted uncomfortably, her body stiff with tension as she spoke.
Sofia: I can't sleep now, ( she said, her voice tight with anxiety ). I never had my bath. I can't sleep like this.
Sebastian's arm tightened around her waist, his breath hot against her neck.
Sebastian: You can take a bath in the morning, ( he whispered, his voice low and persuasive ). Just relax and let the girls sleep. They need you right now.
Sofia swallowed hard, her heart racing as she struggled to find a way to escape Sebastian's grasp. But she knew that her daughters needed her, and she couldn't risk waking them up and upsetting them.
So she lay there, her body rigid with tension as she tried to slow her breathing and relax her muscles. Sebastian's hand moved lower, his fingers tracing a slow pattern across her stomach as he murmured words of comfort and love.
As the hours wore on, Sofia's body slowly relaxed into the rhythm of Sebastian's breathing, her mind drifting off into a restless sleep. But even as she slept, her dreams were filled with images of danger and escape, her subconscious mind warning her of the danger she was in.
Sebastian, meanwhile, watched her sleep, his eyes glinting with a predatory hunger. He knew that he had to be careful, that he couldn't push too hard or too fast. But he was confident that in time, he would have Sofia exactly where he wanted her.
The night passed in a blur of uneasy sleep, and when the sun rose the next morning, Sofia woke with a jolt, her body drenched in sweat.
Sebastian: Good morning, Sofia, ( he whispered, his voice soft ). How are you feeling?
Sofia pushed him away, her heart pounding in her chest as she scrambled out of bed.
Sofia: I need to take a shower, ( as she looked for her clothes). Where did you keep my phone
Sebastian smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement as he watched Sofia scramble for her clothes.
Sebastian: Your phone is safe, ( he said, his voice smooth and reassuring ). I just want to make sure you're safe, Sofia. You know I wouldn't hurt you or the girls.
Sofia: My mom would be worried do you want her to die of heartache? She's worried about me, She's been trying to get in touch with me, and she'll be worried if she can't.
Sebastian: Fine
He went safe which was not noticeable and opened the safe and retrieved it, She reached out to take it from him, but he held it just out of her reach.
Sebastian: No funny business, just your mom
Sofia nodded, her heart racing as she took the phone from Sebastian's hand, her fingers trembling as she dialled her mother's number.
Sofia: Mom? ) she said, her voice cracking with emotion as the line connected ). I'm okay, Mom. I'm fine.
Sebastian's eyes were fixed on her face as she spoke, his expression unreadable as he listened to her conversation.
Mrs Gabby: Sofia?
Her mother's voice came through the phone, filled with worry and fear.
Mrs Gabby: Oh my God, Sofia, are you okay? Where are you?
Sofia swallowed hard, trying to keep her voice steady as she spoke.
Sofia: I'm fine, Mom, ( she said, her voice shaking with emotion ) unfortunately the reception here is bad, I just got a bar and called so you won't be worried
Her mother's voice softened, relief washing over her as she spoke.
Mrs Gabby: How's my little angels
Sofia: They're fine Mom
Sofia's mother's voice softened, relief washing over her as she spoke.
Mrs Gabby: Oh, thank God you're okay, Just please be careful, Sofia. And come home soon. I miss you.
Sofia fought back tears as she spoke.
Sofia: I love you too, Mom ( she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion ). I'll be home soon. I promise.
With tears in her eyes, Sofia hung up the phone, her heart aching with guilt and sorrow. She knew that she couldn't tell her the truth. But the weight of her deception felt like a leaden weight on her soul, her heart heavy with regret.
She turned to face Sebastian, her eyes shining with tears as she met his gaze.
Sofia: Are you happy ( she handed the phone to him )
Sebastian took the phone from Sofia, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous light as he met her gaze.
Sebastian: I'm happy that you're safe, ( he said, his voice low and smooth ). But I'm not happy that you're still trying to find a way to escape.
Sofia's voice caught in her throat as she spoke, the words tumbling out in a jumble of emotion.
Sofia: Leave, get out of my life, Sebastian. Just leave me alone.
Sebastian's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing as he watched her with contempt.
Sebastian: What can I do for you to see I want you and love you sofia
Sofia: Die than I will believe
Sebastian walks over to the table, a flower vase is there he breaks it picks up a piece and cuts his wrist
Sofia gasped in shock as Sebastian sliced his wrist with the broken glass, the blood dripping down his arm as he stood there, his face pale and determined.
Sebastian: This is what I'll do for you, Sofia, I'll bleed for you. I'll die for you. Just please, believe me when I say that I love you.
Sofia stared at him in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched the blood flow from his wrist.
