Chapter 6 In the darkness, Alexander's footsteps drew closer. Sophia instinctively moved toward the door, only to hear his voice again: "Emily?" His voice was low, "Why are you in my room? Didn't I say we shouldn't rush things? Intimate things... we'll wait till after marriage." Only then did she realize he hadn't turned on the lights and had mistaken her for someone else. She bit her lip hard, forcing calm, mimicking Emily's voice: "I-I'll leave now..." As she turned, he suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind: "Wait." The next instant, he yanked her into his arms.

All night, she clenched her teeth, eyes shut, letting him take her again and again. His kisses burned, breath ragged, as if trying to fuse her into his bones. The next day, dawn broke. Sophia felt shattered and reassembled, her back aching too much to straighten. Alexander still slept soundly, breathing steady, expression peaceful as if last night's frenzy were a dream. She dressed silently, terrified of waking him. But just as she prepared to leave, the door burst open- "Alexander, time to rise. Weren't you taking me for breakfast?" Emily's voice cut off abruptly. She froze in the doorway, smile vanishing, pupils contracting. Then she lunged forward and slapped Sophia hard! Slap! The sharp crack echoed piercingly in the room. "Shouldn't you be with that beggar? !" Her voice shook with fury, "How are you here? ! How dare you seduce him? !" Sophia's cheek burned. She opened her mouth to explain- "Shut up!" Emily clamped a hand over her mouth, shooting a panicked glance at Alexander stirring in bed.
