Third Person P.O.V.

"Where are you, Ryder?" The phone was on speaker, everyone could hear Sean's angry voice.

"I am currently in New York, you know a lot of work." Ryder answered.

"And where is your little sister?" Ryder sighed angrily.

"She's with me." He told her.

"You aren't playing fair, Ryder." Sean shook his head in disappointment.

"Don't take me for a fool, Ryder. You can't run away from all this." Ryder smirked at his comment. Sean thinks that Ryder might run away but no! He's not going to run away like a coward, he's going to avenge his father.

"I am not planning to." Beside Ryder, was standing worried Brandon as he mouthed Ryder to ask about Sofia.

"How's Sofia?" Ryder hesitantly asked. He knew the answer to that.

"That little bitch has finally given up on her loverboy." Sean chuckled and Brandon tensed up.

When Ryder was just about to cut the call, "Change of plan. Instead of next week, it's today. The wedding is today so don't waste any more time, groom." No one uttered a word after listening to what Sean just said.

"Fuck! He changed the fucking plan." Ryder hissed.

"What now?" Alex asked him.

****

Nothing, she feels nothing. The tears in her eyes refused to drop, it was like she couldn't see, her voice was stolen from her by emptiness and loneliness. The world had just ended for her. Its been 4 months since her father kidnapped her not leaving a day without torturing her not only physically but mentally too.

She realized he doesn't care any more, he never did anywyas. And the saddest part of all this is that..

"Go with him and never come back in my life." The words keep ringing in her mind. Isn't it amazing how these ten words shred her whole life apart.

Countless times her father told her how he killed Brandon's parents and that is the only reason why Brandon hates her. And all she could do was stay silent.

Sitting silently in front of the mirror as the makeup artist did her best to cover up all her bruises with makeup.

"Is she ready?" Sean came inside the room.

"Yes, sir. She just needs to wear the dress." A girl told him and he nodded.

"Bitch, what you said? You have a Prince? Huh? Your prince isn't here to save your ass. You're getting married to Ryder." Laughing at how weak his daughter was, he went out of the room.

And again he mentioned him But it doesn't effect her anymore. All she wants is to disappear but she can't. This is her life, she needs to forget her past.

"Wear this, please." The girl gave her the dress and guided her as she dressed up.

"You look so pretty." The girl smiled at her.

"Mama, I am ready. Let's go!" Sofia said to Alissa as she waited impatiently inside the room.

"Wait up! We need to wait for your groom." Alissa said.

"No! Let's go. Why can't I go first? I don't like Brandon waiting on me." Sofia stomped her foot.

"Relax, Sofia! Usually girls are nervous on their wedding day and here you're so excited." Alissa shook her head at her daughter.

"Argh! I just want to be Sofia Maxwell already. Martin doesnt suit me." Sofia pouted.

"Am I looking beautiful?" Sofia asked her mom.

"You look so pretty, just like her." Alissa answered with a glint of tears in her eyes.

"Just like who??" Sofia asked.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she doesn't look beautiful, she didn't want to. She wanted to feel ugly. If the world didn't accept her as a beautiful creature then there's no need to be beautiful anymore.

A loud thud was heard as the makeup artist fell down on the floor, Sofia gasped at the sight.

"Princess,"
