~ University of Imperial Knight ~

Sophia was walking in the hallway of the Business Management Building when someone suddenly grabbed her, pulling her into an empty room.

*Bam*

She tried to struggle but that person was stronger than her. She was surprised to see Marcus. He was the one who pulled her. She felt like she almost had a heart attack because of his action.

"Marcus… What are you doing? Let me go..." Sophia asked him with disbelief and annoyance in her voice.

Marcus didn't answer her. He was just staring at her intently while gripping her wrist tightly.

After a while, Marcus gently pushed her until her back touched the closed door. Then he trapped her using both hands as he placed his palms on the door.

"Marcus…" Sophia didn't know what to do right now. She was nervous. Marcus's action was scaring her.

"What do you want?" Sophia tried her best to look brave though her heart was already beating so fast inside her chest.

"That night… that was your first kiss… am I right?" Marcus had finally spoken. His scorching eyes were still focused on Sophia's lovely face.

After that night, Marcus couldn't forget the kiss they shared together. The intimacy they had was so real though he knew the fact that Sophia was put under the influence of a drug.

No matter how he tried, those memories were already engraved in his mind. He couldn't forget Sophia's sweetness, her lips… her scent… her soft body…her warmth. He had so many sleepless nights because of that.

Meanwhile, Sophia couldn't believe that Marcus was asking her this. As much as possible she wanted to forget everything that transpired that night.

But Marcus just came here to see her, reminding her again of what happened. 'How dare he do this to me?'

,m With all her might, she pushed Marcus away from her. He was very close to her body and she didn't want that. Her impression of him already changed after that night.

He used her for a bet… for his own benefits. She would never let Marcus toy with her feelings again. Once was enough. She already learned her lesson not to trust someone easily.

"Just leave me alone, Marcus! Let's just forget everything that happened to us and let's stay strangers to each other. I don't want to have any connection to you, to your sister, and to your friends," Sophia firmly said to Marcus.

Marcus shook his head and grabbed Sophia's shoulders once again.

"No. I can't. I can't forget. Sophia… tell me the truth… Matthew is not your boyfriend right? He'd never kissed you yet. I'm your first. I know I am!"

Sophia was stunned for a moment. She couldn't figure out Marcus. 'Why is he doing this? Is toying with my feelings not yet enough? Why did he come looking for me just to tell this?'

"Why? Why are you asking me this? So that you would feel accomplished?" Sophia asked him with her angry voice she clenched her fists.

She hated it. She thought she would feel numb already but Marcus was still affecting her.

As for Marcus, he also didn't understand himself as to why he was doing this. He wanted to get assurance from Sophia that he was his first kiss. He wanted to confirm it!

"I'm sorry, Sophia. I admitted my mistake. Please forgive me. I just want to correct it and have a fresh start with you. Can you… can you still accept me as a friend? Let's start all over again," Marcus softly said to her. He felt desperate.

"You already lost your chance of becoming my friend when you, your sister, and your friends did that to me," Sophia said to him with her indifferent expression.

She removed his hands that were holding her shoulders. She pushed him again as Sophia turned to leave that room.

But Marcus would not let her leave just like that. He ran to follow her. He was about to grab her hand when someone intervened.

"Argh!" Marcus grunted as the newcomer caught his hand and twisted it.

Sophia halted on her steps when she heard Marcus's whimper. She turned around only to see Matthew twisting Marcus's hand.

Sophia's eyes widened in surprise as she watched the two men. 'Matthew? Why is he here?'

"Did you forget what I said? Do I need to repeat it?" Matthew's grip on Marcus's hand tightened.

Marcus glared at Matthew, trying to remove Matthew's hand.

"I said… Stay. Away. From. My. Girlfriend!" Matthew said in a stern cold voice. He emphasized every word. Then he finally let go of Marcus's hand.

Marcus cursed at him while rubbing his wrist. Matthew twisted his arm and it was really painful for Marcus. He didn't want to admit but Matthew was strong.

After releasing Marcus, Matthew walked over to Sophia, shielding her against Marcus.

"Are you okay?" Matthew asked Sophia softly with his worried tone.

Sophia just nodded her head absentmindedly. She was still in a trance after seeing Matthew and hearing his statement a while ago. She was speechless at the moment.

After getting her response, Matthew held her hand as he pulled Sophia closer to his side. Then he shifted his gaze back to Marcus. He looked daggers at him with his bloodshot eyes.

"Why are you still here? Scram!!! Don't you dare touch her ever again! I didn't sue you for attempted rape because Sophia didn't want the issue to escalate further."

"But if you will not stop pestering her, then I will have no choice but to bring this issue to the court," Matthew warned and threatened Marcus.

Marcus could only grind his teeth and clench his fists before walking away thus leaving Matthew and Sophia.

When Marcus left, Matthew turned to face Sophia.

"What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?" Matthew asked her again with a concerned look on his face.

"N-No… I'm fine… he just wanted to talk to me," Sophia answered him shyly. She couldn't look straight into Matthew's eyes.

Every time she would be in trouble Matthew always came on time to her rescue. She thought she was giving him too much hassle that's why she felt embarrassed.

"By the way, why are you here?" Sophia asked him curiously.

Matthew's cold aura moments ago suddenly disappeared. Now, he was looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.

"I came to visit my girlfriend." He stated matter-of-factly.

Sophia: "..."

She felt like blood rushed on her cheeks when she heard him once again calling her 'girlfriend'.

Matthew let out a husky laugh when he noticed her stunned expression and blushing face.

"Hey, don't give me that kind of look, or else I will think that you are seducing me with your innocent look."

Sophia: "???"

Matthew chuckled once again. "Hahaha, I'm just kidding."

"Anyway, I am really here to see you. Remember, I am pretending to be your boyfriend so that Marcus and his friends will stop bothering you. They have to see me here with you so that they will not suspect that we are just pretending." Matthew explained to her.

"Aside from that, I am here to say goodbye to you. I will be out of the country for the next few days. I will accompany Tristan overseas so I will not be here to watch over my girlfriend."

Sophia was taken aback when she heard that.

"Are you leaving? When?"

For some unknown reason, she felt saddened by that news. This only meant she would not see him in the coming days.

For the past few days, Matthew was fetching and dropping her at home. It started when he pretended to be her boyfriend.

"Tomorrow."

"Ah okay. Have a nice trip."

"Thank you."

*Moment of awkward silence*

They both became silent. They didn't know what to say next. They just stood there waiting for someone to speak up once again.

They just realized that Matthew was still holding Sophia's hand when Matthew clenched her fist thus squeezing her hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Matthew apologized upon realizing what he did.

"Did I hurt you?"

"N-No, I'm just fine."

Sophia retreated her hand right away. Matthew, on the other hand, scratched his face while smiling sheepishly at her.

'Ah, why is this atmosphere so awkward?' Sophia complained inwardly.

"Oh, by the way, Sophia… My Boss asked me to tell you that he will leave Lillie in your care here at the university while he is not around. If something happens to Lillie, don't forget to inform me or contact Tristan directly. Okay?"

"Okay, don't worry. I will watch over Lillie."

They knew that Lillie would be surrounded by lots of admirers since she showed her real beauty on the campus. She's the new Campus Belle so her student's life will not be peaceful, unlike before.
