Chapter 13: Brutal rejection

The guy who had barely stopped shaking asked her such a question that everyone was waiting for. The difference was...the known people were waiting for Sofia's cruel answer, while the new ones were waiting to see how she would handle this situation.

A situation like this was never abnormal. In fact...it's quite common when it comes to Sofia. The cases where someone had confessed their feelings to Sofia were very normal, to the point people knew what her answer would be to their confessions. Still, it's always the next-level feeling to see that same drama.

In the crowd, Enzo was standing with his newly made friends. This little drama caught his eye...

He was feeling nothing but saying that he really felt nothing...would be a lie. He had just met her three times till now, but those encounters felt like fate and destiny joined by God.

When everyone was expecting a great drama and being excited to see what her response would be, Sofia stood there calmly and just looked at the man who was standing before her.

It was at this moment that she found him familiar. After recalling where she had seen him and what type of person he was, she couldn't help but feel disgusted...

Yeah! he was very nervous and shaking from fear earlier...but that fear was never because of her.

That guy...Angelo. The one who confessed to her was still waiting for her response and was feeling impatient deep down. He clenched his fist and asked her one more time, " Sofia! I really... like you. If we get together, we will be the hottest couple ".

How bold of him to decide on his own that he was hot. Yeah...she was hot but he? He was a piece of shit.

Sofia felt like her ear would bleed if she was to hear him say anything any further. Now it was time to cast her suitor aside...she doesn't wanna see him.

Sofia smiled and looked at him. " You sure you like me? ", Her question was like a tight slap on his confidence. This question was equal to asking her if he was confident enough to handle her when he has nothing.

Angelo did feel like it was sarcasm but he couldn't differentiate as she was wearing that friendly smile.

" Yes! I like you. I saw you in the garden last year, you were playing in the cold water. When I saw you for the first time, I felt like my heart had become useless...and you are the only one who can make it right again ".

Mary felt like puking after hearing those overly sweet words which didn't seem like he meant and just felt like an accessory he threw on the top to lure her interest and heart towards him.

Without any doubt, Mary was certain that this guy was one of the jerks that she needs to be wary of and have to protect her friend.

Mary took a step forward and slightly pulled Sofia to her side, she probably wanted to warn Sofia about the suspicion she had about that guy called Angelo. But Sofia has an idea and she was completely sure of him, so it was okay if Mary wanted to save her from him.

" I know...".

Sofia slightly brushed her hand on Mary's hand and assured her that she won't fall into his tricks.

Angelo was still waiting. He was confident that he would be able to shake Sofia's heart. After all...he was known for his glib tongue which can even shake a married woman, if he had the confidence he could even shake that so-called married woman, so who is this mere girl in front of him?

He stood there like he was some protagonist of some amazing plot and waited for her to react and give him the satisfactory response he is waiting for.

He had so much confidence that he did not even think of a backup plan when she would reject him. Because to him...that there's a woman in this world who can reject him. Yeah...this was his weird mentality that he was ghe hero of the mass production and she was just a mere chess piece to him in that story.

Sofia couldn't help but feel like giving him a hard slap across his face for treating her like that. Earlier when he approached her, he acted like he was very nervous and afraid to show his love to the girl he like.

But now...he was looking very snobbish. She was hating him. But why? what did he do?

It has been quite some time now and everyone was waiting for her to react, even Enzo was watching the scene and he wondered what she would say in reply.

After all...she is supposed to fall in love with him, he needs her, she is his salvation. He needs her.

" I am sorry! But I have no thought of getting into a relationship. However, I thank you for giving me the honor of being the girl you fell for...".

Those simple words were enough to crumble his self-confidence which he had built all these years, his life felt like sinking into the cold water when she reject him.

All the students who had known this situation would arrive and start laughing at him.

Angelo suffered from a great blow. He couldn't believe that he had failed.

" B...but you don't have any lover, why can you not give me a chance? at least give me a single chance to prove myself that I am good enough for you ".

He swallowed his pride as he spoke while gritting his teeth. Pathetic...

Everyone saw him as a nuisance. Only the freshers were there who were feeling bad for Angelo. They...for no reason started thinking about Sofia in a bad way, already imprinting her as a bad woman in their mind without even knowing her.

Enzo felt a sense of relief in his heart when she rejected that unknown guy.

Sofia on the other hand started laughing for no reason when she heard him say Give me at least one chance to prove myself. Does he think she knows nothing?

She wanted to give him a hard punch on his stomach and let him know his sin. But she controlled herself.

" You are a pathetic bastard. Do you even know how much I am controlling myself to not hit you or beat you? Do you think I know nothing about how much you like me? Or...should I say how much you are in a need of money? ", She revealed his secret.

The secret that Angelo was secretly a playboy and a guy who has pregnant someone had spread in the Colony bar.

His eyes grew large when he heard her mention money.

He now started thinking about how she came to know all this. But it was impossible...no one knows his real identity.

At that hot moment, Sofia grabbed his collar and pulled him very close to her face, she whispered something in his ear..." If you don't want me to expose your dirty affairs in front of the whole university, you better stop messing around with me. I hope...I never have to see your face again. Or the consequences will be very grave. The choice is yours ".

Her voice was very soothing to the ears. But the words were very dangerous that even the greatest person would tell her to stop.

Now he was scared of her. It was only now that he came to believe that this beauty was not just the empty shell carrying that beauty mirror, but had the brain as well...as deadly as the monster.

He was scared of her and only wanted to run away.

Sofia released him and smiled sweetly. Without giving it any second, Angelo picked up his tail and ran away...this was the scene to behold.

She... being the daughter of the most privileged family, had always suffered her share of suffering and was still going through it.

Knowing how people treat those with privilege and those in poor states, had made her something else where she does not want to suffer any loss.

Unfortunately...what people were thinking did not happen and the commotion went down. They both went ahead in the queue to get their lunch...

Sofia has no time to think about Love. She never felt love from her family and she gave up on it long ago...there was no place for love in her small fragile heart.

Life has given her many lessons that she dared not to think about again...

" Sofi! Did you know who that guy was?".

Mary put her head on her shoulder from the back and asked her in a relaxed tone.

" Hmm! Do you remember that senior we met a week ago in a fancy restaurant? You went to the bathroom after meeting him. But later I saw him with this guy...".
