Can’t Win Me Back

Sophia reminisced about her life. She had lived a glorious life. However, to
achieve that, she always had to sacrifice a person to reach a greater height.
Anne Bartley was her first victim. Never had she thought that the woman, who
was dead for two decades, would be the nail in her coffin.
Sophia had long regretted killing Anne. Anne didn't have to die. Keeping Anne
around wouldn't have affected anything.
However, Sophia acted like she was under a spell at that time. She harbored a
strong resentment against Anne. On top of that, she banked on Javier's affection
and acted lawlessly, thinking that she could do anything she liked under his
protection.
Alas, Javier's love was nothing but an illusion.
Sophia pulled her hair out and held strands of gray hair in her hands. The pain
kept her sober. She had finally seen through Javier's selfishness and
heartlessness.
He had never loved her. She didn't believe he loved Anne either. Otherwise, why
would he easily believe that Anne had taken her own life?
Sophia widened her bloodshot eyes. Like a madwoman, she repeatedly
mumbled, "Javier Beckett... One day, karma will get you. You'll pay for your
heartlessness! I'll watch that from the heavens!"
One day, Sophia had visitors at the prison. “Kirkman, you have visitors." As
Sophia was a convicted felon, she wore handcuffs and ankle cuffs when she was
led into the visitation room.
Due to the mental pressure and the strain of the dim environment on her eyes,
she suffered from a drastic decline in her eyesight. She couldn't make out people
or things that were ten feet away.
She stood there like a skeleton with a blank expression. Feeling utterly dejected,
she wanted to decline the visit now that no one cared about her.
Still, she was curious about the identity of the visitors who would take the time to
visit her. "Who are you?" Mom.
Sophia's dull eyes wavered. Then, she stumbled to the glass window that
separated her from the visitors, accompanied by the rattling sounds of her ankle
cuffs.
Her vision finally focused on Lauren's fair face.
She widened her eyes as she pressed her bony hands against the wall with
might. She gaped. After a while, she cautiously asked, "L-Lauren? Is that you?
Are you Lauren?"
Lauren teared up when she met Sophia's eyes. The latter looked nothing like
before.
Lauren nodded.

Frowning, Landon was about to speak, but Lauren was ahead of him. She
clarified, "I asked Landon to bring me here."
"Lauren..." Sophia sobbed uncontrollably. "I knew you were the nicest and
kindest kid! I knew you would feel sorry to see me go."
In the next second, Sophia's reignited flame of hope was mercilessly put out by
Lauren's pointed remark. Lauren explained, "I visit you not because I've forgiven
you."
