Chapter Eighty-Three
Alicia's POV
After my confrontation with Sasha, I went to my room to rest. My feet still ached from the dance practice and I was emotionally drained. But after lying down for a while, I started worrying about Sophie.
I hadn't seen her since this morning. She should be back from school by now.
I got up and walked to her room, knocking softly. "Sophie?"
No answer.
I opened the door and found the room empty. Her backpack was on the bed, homework half done on her desk, but no Sophie.
A small flutter of worry went through me. I went back into the hallway and found one of the maids.
"Have you seen Sophie?"
"Yes, Miss Alicia. She's downstairs in the living room with Mr. Malachi."
I was shocked. Malachi was back? And he was with Sophie?
The worry transformed into curiosity. And something warm. The fact that he was spending time with my sister meant something.
I headed downstairs quickly. As I got closer to the living room, I heard their voices.
