Falling For Mr Billionaire || Book 1 ✔

Chapter 1

They say you can run from the truth but you can never hide.
It always finds a way to catch up with you.
I believe the past is the same.
You may always run away
But it will catch up with you
When you least expect it.

Sofia's POV.

"Elijah come back here or I swear to god I will kill you this time." I shouted for the hundredth time. Elijah never listens, Anette and him both just love playing outside not giving a shit about life. It's been three years and six months since I last saw Benjamin.

The love of my life.

The guy I thought was going to be the one that will always have my back, but life proved me wrong. My mom was right. I'm a slut, a whore no one cares about. And she was right once again. I never had friends no one wanted to be my friend. Until the day I moved to New York, the city that never sleeps.

"I'm here mommy." He said after taking his time, I'm very happy that I made two friends that have a daughter.

"Hey, why you looking at me like that Eli?" I asked him. Today he finally turned three but honestly, I believe his clever than any three years old.

"No mommy. I love momma." He answered.

The person I love most in this world just told me that. I'm so happy don't get me wrong but I know he either wants something or he did something.

"What did you do, Eli?" I looked at him in the eye but he just smiled.

"Sofia Valentines, I swear to god I'll kill you and your son." Anna came shouting from outside. Shit, what did Elijah do to her this time?

Anna Coetzee Kingston Hendricks is my best friend, she and her husband were the first friends I made when I moved here. They are happily married and have a three-year-old daughter named Annette which if I'm not wrong is the one Elijah did something too.

"What's wrong Anna?" I asked knowing that Elijah did something again.

"He painted Anette's face. Are you sure that he is only three years old today." Anna was shouting and she didn't notice that Elijah was hiding behind me because he was pretending to be scared of her.

When I was pregnant I almost gave Elijah up for adoption, but Anna and Marko helped me keep him. Anna is like a mother to him and she is definitely going to be taking care of him if something ever happens to me.

Because life is always unpredictable.

"Sorry, Anna but it is his--" Before I could finish talking Elijah cut me off.

"It's my birthday." Elijah mumbled, making Anna angry but she just started laughing and kissed him on the forehead.

"You both such cute babies." She said cleaning Annette's face.

"I'm not a baby. Tell her momma." Elijah was trying so hard to act angry he even rolled his eyes when he heard Anna say, 'my cute babies.'

"Of course you not Anna's cute baby." I told Elijah and he smiled until I added " You are my cute baby boy." He rolled his eyes and looked both Anna and me, thinking of a comeback until he heard Marko's voice.

"Where's my big birthday boy?" Marko shouted as he came in.

"Uncle Mark yay. I was--I missed you." Elijah was so excited that he forgot how to actually speak right. Anna and I both started laughing because we know he is going to tell Marko everything.

"Uncle Mark Mommy called me baby." Elijah said. I wouldn't have liked Elijah telling Marko or any other guy what I say to him, but it's actually not his fault that his father is gone and Marko is the only thing he has close to a father.
