Chapter 31: Possession

Fuming with anger, Sophia paced back and forth in the hall, her frustration bubbling over. She couldn't contain herself, her white hair disheveled as she tugged at it like a mad woman. 

Her words seethed with rage, "That bitch, I swear I'm going to kill her."

Helena had forcibly removed Sophia from Sam's room to grant Sam and Amelia some privacy. However, Sophia's mind was in turmoil. 'It should've been me...not that thot'

She couldn't wrap her head around the idea of her baby brother being alone with a girl, and not just any girl, but a stunning one at that. 

Unable to control her frustration and concern, she resorted to using her spiritual sense to discreetly peek into Sam's room, witnessing everything that unfolded between him and Amelia.

As Sophia watched Sam ask Amelia to be his woman, it felt like her world had suddenly exploded. Thoughts raced through her mind, each more bewildering than the last. 'Why did he ask that bitch to be his woman? Am I not enough for him?' Her heart ached with confusion and frustration.

Helena and Lorraine observed Sophia, using their own spiritual senses to keep tabs on Sam and Amelia. They exchanged glances filled with pity for Sophia, understanding the emotional turmoil she was going through. Lorraine, in particular, had her own complicated feelings, as she harbored romantic intentions toward Sam.

Helena couldn't help but notice Lorraine's downcast expression. 

Strangely, when she saw Sam proposing to Amelia, a hint of jealousy stirred within her as well. 

Helena couldn't help but question herself, her hand gently pressing against her chest as she shook her head in disbelief. "What's happening to me? I'm his mother; I shouldn't be feeling like this."

Lorraine observed her older sister's inner turmoil and couldn't resist a sly grin. "Are you jealous that your son has a new girlfriend?" she teased, even though she was in a sour mood herself over Sam's proposal to Amelia. 

'Now you know How I felt' Lorraine signed.

Lorraine wasn't all that surprised when she sensed Helena's unease upon witnessing Sam's proposal to Amelia through their spiritual sense. 

She looked at Helena with a playful glint in her eye and quipped, "So, are you planning to confess your feelings to your son, older sis?"

Sophia, who had been pacing anxiously, abruptly halted in her tracks when she heard Lorraine's words. She turned to her mother, a look of bewilderment in her eyes, and stammered, "M-Mom, what is she talking about?"

With a resigned sigh, Lorraine shook her head and let out a small chuckle. She then confessed, "Oh, my dear niece, it's quite clear to see. Your mother, just like me, is head over heels in love with Sam."

"Lorraine, please, you're misunderstanding things," Helena implored, her tone tinged with frustration.

Lorraine's anger flared as she glared at Helena. "Misunderstanding? Seriously?" Her eyes bore into Helena with a hint of resentment. "Why can't you just admit that you see Sam as more than just your son?"

Helena's patience wore thin, and she urged, "I said stop talking, Lorraine."

But Lorraine wasn't about to back down. Her frustration bubbled over as she continued, "No, you stop talking! I've seen the way you sometimes look at Sam. I remember your reaction when I mentioned wanting to be his wife. You didn't want me to have that kind of relationship with him, but you won't say it out loud. What do you want me to do?" The room was filled with tension as the emotions between them came to a head.

Sophia decided to confront her mother directly about what Aunt Lorraine had said, feeling somewhat incredulous about the whole situation. "Mom, is what Aunt Lor saying true?" She cut to the chase, not expecting her mother to harbor such feelings for Sam.

Helena hesitated for a moment, clearly overwhelmed by the conversation. "I... I can't talk about this right now," she mumbled and then promptly disappeared, leaving the matter unresolved. It seemed like her way of postponing a difficult discussion.

Sophia was left frustrated. "She just ran away," she grumbled.

Lorraine sighed, having seen this reaction from Helena before. "Yes, she did. She can never confront her feelings head-on, and this must be especially hard for her since it's about Sam."

Turning to leave for her room, Lorraine was stopped in her tracks when Sophia grabbed her hand, her expression stern.

"Do you also see Sam as a man?" Sophia inquired with a tone of irritation.

Lorraine didn't hold back. "Yep, and I want to be his wife," she stated matter-of-factly.

Sophia felt her patience wearing thin as she silently cursed in her head. But Lorraine wasn't done.

"Don't think you can stop me from getting close to Sam. Now that I've realized I have more love rivals, I'm going to up my game," Lorraine declared confidently.

Then, Lorraine paused for a moment, as if contemplating something, before sharing a piece of advice. "Oh, and one more thing, Sophia. Sam was raised in the human world with their customs, so he won't just accept the kind of relationship we're hoping for with him."

Confused, Sophia asked, "Why the fuck are you telling me this?"

Lorraine smirked, suggesting something that left Sophia taken aback. "Tch, come on. Don't you also see Sam as a man?".

Sophia didn't beat around the bush and simply shrugged her shoulders as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Yes," she affirmed, "Ever since I imprinted on him when he was still in my mother's womb, I've always loved him unconditionally."

Lorraine nodded in understanding, prepared to leave the conversation there. However, Sophia had more to say.

"Know this," she continued with a determined expression, "He is mine and mine alone. I won't let him be with any other girl. I'll go to any lengths, even resort to extreme measures, and if that doesn't work, I'll just lock him in my secret basement and shower him with lots of love until he can't even think of another girl." Her words carried a certain possessiveness that left Lorraine both surprised and slightly concerned.

"Great, we have a yandere with us now....it's going to be fun"
