THE PROMISE
202 Words
The golden sunset painted the sky as Sophia Anderson walked hand in hand with Daniel Carter along the beach.
“I have something to ask you”,Daniel said stopping near the water.
Sophia smiled “you sound nervous”,
I’ve never been more certain about anything”.
Daniel slowly knelt on the knee and opened a small velvet box inside sparkled a diamond ring.
“Sophia Anderson,will you marry me?
Tears filled her eyes
“Yes!of course,yes!
Daniel slipped the ring onto her fingers as strangers nearby applauded
“I promise”, he whispered, holding her close,
I will love you for the rest of my life
Sophia rested her head on his chest
I trust you with my heart
Hidden behind his smile,Daniel’s eyes hardened
Just a little longer,he thought once the business deal is complete I won’t need her anymore
Far away a woman wearing dark sunglasses watched them from inside a black luxury car
She smiled coldly
So….. this is Sophia
She picked up her phone
Everything is going according to plan
Sophia had no idea that the happiest day of her life was the the beginning of the greatest betrayal she would ever face
