"One more pose!" The cameraman yells and I chuckle, before posing as he takes a few more pictures.

"Sophia, are you happy for Axton?"

"Sophia, what can you say about the rumours about Axton and you having an affair?"

"Sophia-" Jace quickly pulls me behind him.

"Can you guys just give us some space please? The cameras are a bit too much. The questions too." Jace says.

"Hey Sophia." Kiara says and I jump.

"Hey Kiara, you look stunning." I tell her taking in her beautiful gold dress. I smile seeing the familiar neckline.

"You did a great job with this one." she winks and I chuckle.

"Alright, we're going to walk past those reporters okay? Don't answer or even spare them a look." Jace says as he takes my hand in his right and Kiara's in his left.

We walk past the reporters dodging their questions. But before we can fully make it into the building, I'm grabbed by a cold touch.

"Hi baby." Trey says and I settle my shocked look because we're in front of the paparazzi.

"What the fuck Trey, let Sophia go." Jace says walking up to us, but I push him away.

"Jace, the paparazzi." I whisper to him. I didn't give a damn about what they thought of me, but it was Axton and Jace's career at risk and I wasn't risking that over this asshole.

"Sophia you can't let him-"

"Babe, maybe we should go inside." Kiara says, but when I look at her, the only thing I see is that necklace. I know it, I just can't remember how.

"Yeah Jace, take it easy man." Trey says.

"Easy? You wanna see how easy it is to kick your ass?" he says and I look at Kira hoping she'll carry his ass inside.

"Jacey I'll be fine, he can't do anything." I tell him and he mumbles something while walking away with Kiara.

I turn to the disgrace to the blond community.

"What the fuck is your problem?" I turn to him.

"Easy bae you're getting worked up." he sings.

"Trey let me go." I tell him.

"Whatever I did, I did it out of frustration, it won't happen again Sophia, just come back."

His grip tighten on me and I close my eyes, taking a deep breathe.

I'm about to kick his ass.

Before I can even try anything, Trey is forced to the floor.

I look up to see Axton, in his suit. He looks so fucking hot.

"Axton, what the fuck man?" Trey says, gaining my attention.

"Apologize." Axton says and Trey chuckles.

"This hoe should be apologizing," he says, followed with a groan as Axton's foot reaches his back, kicking him.

"I said, apologize."

"I- I'm sorry." he says.

"Now, apologize for everything you've done before." Axton says and Trey's eyes meet mine.

"You told him?" He asks me but I'm too shocked to process a answer.

"The only thing you get to say is sorry." Axton lands another kick to his back.

"Axton!" I whisper yell.

"Just let him go!" I tell him, freaking out because if someone sees, this is going to be everywhere.

"On one condition." He says and I look at him, oh he's mad-

"You get a restraining order."

"Done," I say, a little too fast.

Axton takes out his phone and calls someone.

"Rio, I have some uh, trash here you need to collect." he says and I raise my eyebrow.

Oh he meant Trey, oh okay.

"Come on, my mom's looking for you." He says and I look at Trey, who looks like he's not capable of moving.

"What about-"

"Sophia just fucking come with me." he extends his hand and I take it, not wanting to piss him off even more.

---

"I am so happy my daughter has found someone to marry." Mr. Fallon says, holding his champagne glass in his right hand.

"To the lovely couple." he raises the glass, tears pool in my eyes. It's been tortured sitting here listening to everyone congratulate them. Not like I'm not happy for him, oh screw it I'm not happy for him.

"Eleanor, your turn honey," Denzell says and we turn our attention to Eleanor but she's looking at me.

"I- I need to speak to Sophia for a moment, please excuse us." she tells everyone and walks to my chair, escorting me to the halls of the hotel.

"Is everything-"

"Sophia, tell me you're not letting my boy get married to that bitch." Do I laugh or do I cry?

"Eleanor there isn't anything I can do, plus he's made his choice," I tell her.

"And your choice!?" she yells.

"I'm sorry, I don't like this." she says and I look away from her, because I might cry.

This is hell.

"Sophia you're in love with him, you need to tell him." I can't.

"It wouldn't change anything Eleanor!" I was full on crying right now.

"Sophia, you have to tell him. It changes everything. Piper isn't right for my son, you are." Even Eleanor's crying.

"Eleanor I agree with you but you two need to stop!" Amyra whisper yells.

"What are- Why are you crying Soph?" Axton walks up to us.

Think.

Think.

"We were talking about your childhood."

"We were talking about my dad." Eleanor and I say at the same time. Axton raises a eyebrow and looks at us as if we're mad.

"They were talking about your childhood with Dav-Xavier," Myra says but Axton doesn't look convinced.

"Uh, they're serving dessert. You two should get back inside." he says pointing to Myra and Eleanor.

"Sophia I need to talk to you." I nod as Myra and Eleanor walks back into the room.

"You okay Soph?"

"Me? Of course!" I smile, but crap I've never felt this hurt before.

"Uh, okay. Can you come with me to McKay Industries?" I look at him confused.

"Now?" he nods and I'm even more confused.

"What, why?"

"I need to find something."

"Well, go find it." I tell him and his eyes widen a bit.

"What'd you just say?"

"I said, go find it."

"You're lucky I'm in a rush Soph." I look away as he grabs my hand and we walk out the hotel, through the back. We get into his car and he drives to his office.

"What are we even looking for?" I ask as he pulls into the underground garage.

"Divorce papers, come on." he says as we get out the car, instantly a hand grabs me.

A scream falls out my mouth and Axton snaps his head back to look at me. But he just narrows his eyes at the person behind me. I hear Jace laugh and I look around to see Jace and Kiara.

"You asshole!" I slap him.

"Ouch Soph!" he pouts like a baby.

"Deal with it, bitch!" I yell at him and he places his hand over his chest.

"No you didn't!" he gasps.

"Alright kids, if you two behave I'll get you some chicken nuggets." Kiara says.

"I'm vegetarian," Jace says and Kiara links her arms with his.

"Yeah Okay." She says as they walk into the elevator.

That necklace around her neck is way too familiar.

"Soph, come on." Axton tells me and I walk into the elvator.

"Who's divorce papers are we looking for?" I ask.

"Corbin and Eliza," Axton says.

"What?" I ask him confused, Eliza and Corbin were married for about two years, until one night she left and never came back. As the headlines had it 'The Oldest McKay Brother's wife has allegedly filed for divorce and moved out of McKay Mansion.'

Never heard from her since.

"Why?" I ask Axton.

"She claims they're not married and she has properties that belong to her. Example the Los Angeles Mansion." Huh?

"Isn't that-"

"Mines? Yeah it damn well is and I don't intend of changing that." he says as we walk out the elevator and into the halls.

"Jace and I will look on the fift floor. You and Kirara look in my dad's old office." he tells me and I nod.

They walk away and I escort Kiara into the old office of the disgusting Denzell McKay.

"This is one dusty room." Kiara coughs.

"It is!" I chuckle.

"Well, let's get looking." I sigh as we go through boxes of dusty ass papers.

One box makes me stop my hunt for Corbin and Eliza's divorce papers. A box labeled The Fallons.

I'm so going through it.

Like you wouldn't.

There were a lot of family pictures with Piper's mom, dad, older sister and another girl but none with her.

I see what looks like a family picture, however Piper wasn't in it.

I turn it to the back to see a few words scribbled.

Fallon Christmas dinner

-Mom

-Dad

-Penelope

-Piper

All the names match except Piper's. She isn't in the picture, so why's her name there?

"Got the papers, let's fucking go!" Axton yells and I roll my eyes at his bossy behaviour.

I drop the picture back into the box and walk out the room.
