Chapter 140 Sophia

• I hated the way his words went straight to my heart, spreading warmth there. “My home isn't with you. It’s with someone else. It’s with Ma-ahh-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because I was already back on my feet, with my hair being gripped tightly in Chase's large hand while I had my head tilted up.
• His angry voice reached my ears, sending shivers running down my spine. “You’re saying all these to rile me up, aren't you?” He asked. His other hand held my throat in a tight grip, and my eyes widened as tears pooled in them. “You’re talking about him because you know how upset I can get, right? Have you thought about the fact that you're endangering his life? You're going to get hurt, Sophia. You'll get him hurt. Do you want him to face the same fate your three friends faced? Mm? Tell me,"
• I stared at his face. His jaw was clenched, and his teeth were gritted. There were veins popping out on his forehead and eyes. His grip on my throat was enough to cut off the air from passing through my lungs and the way he held my hair tightly was sure to pull my hair out of my scalp.
