Sophie is speech impaired; she communicates by writing on pieces of paper, and as such, she carries a notebook along with her wherever she goes. She was able to clearly express her anxiety and pain through these papers, sometimes through text messages too. It is fascinating that whenever she goes out, she doesn't appear to be a pitiable figure. Sophie is bold and clever, and she is an enthusiastic being. She is a baker, and she owns her shop. Sophie's voice is a great weapon, and there is a lot to her central figure. People assume that she has been mute from birth, but her condition was the aftermath of the sexual abuse she received from Mr. Adrian, her uncle, at the age of 12, and her aunt, Mrs. Eliana, feels shadowed by societal analysis, so she keeps quiet about it. Sophie decided to fight and survive, and she always chose to pick shattered pieces of herself broken. Will she be able to fight and find her voice back?

Sophie:The broken Mistress Chapter 1 Before Yesterday

The air was refreshingly cool, and Sophie decided this was the best time to rest under the fig tree, which stood proudly at the center of the park.

Families and couples arrived some minutes after the sunset, and they sprayed mats on the grass or lounged on the benches that the park provided.

Sophie watched the kids squeal and giggle as they ran around each other. The parents were engrossed in their discussions, and once or twice she heard them laugh at something someone was saying.

The park was a quiet place during the day, and it was here that Sophie spent most of her time, and the rest of it she spent behind the oven doing what she loved most.

She turned her face up to the sky, allowing the cool breeze to romance her face and play with her long hair. She felt at ease with life; it was like the world paused and all her worries were gone.

Her notebook, her only companion, rested on her lap, together with her notepad. She had gotten the notebook about twelve years ago, immediately after the incident with her uncle, which she dared not think about. The notebook was more of a journal and diary since she carried the book around,using it as a channel to pour out her thoughts, frustrations, anxiety, and pains.

Although life had not been a bed of roses for her, Sophie tried to survive in it. She knew firsthand the cruelty of life and men, but she was not willing to give up. That was why she had saved up and opened the shop; with the little earnings she made, she was able to rent an apartment for herself and move out of her aunt's and uncle's house.

A couple passed by where she sat, murmuring their greetings at her, and Sophie responded with a nod of the head. The sun had finally disappeared from the sky, and she could notice a handful of stars scattered about in the sky.

She stood from where she had been sitting. It was time to go.

The walk from the park to her shop was quite short, and it did not take long before she arrived at the front door.

The shop was sandwiched between a restaurant and a laundromat, and opposite them was a small jewelry and pawn store whose owner looked more shady than the business that went on inside.

Sophie stood for a minute, gazing at the shop and running through the memories that had brought her here. She could clearly remember her aunt's words to her as she wrote that she had gotten a shop with her savings.

"A shop?" her aunt had asked incredulously. Her eyes had appraised Sophie, and her lips curled into something that might have been a smile, save for the look on her face.

"Yes." Sophie had written in her notepad and cleaned it once she saw that her aunt had seen it.

Sophie was speech impaired, which means she could not communicate properly, but she had never bothered to learn the basic sign language for communication, and with valid reasons; her aunt and uncle, whom she had the most communication with, would never go through the stress of learning the language for her, and she could not afford it. Not when she was saving for the shop.

"I have been taking catering classes. I think I'm ready to try it out; it's what I like to do." Sophie wrote.

Her aunt took one quick glance at it and burst out laughing. Her head flew back, and her hand held her stomach. She laughed as much as she liked. Once she had laughed to her satisfaction, she looked Sophie in the eyes and told her how ridiculous the idea sounded.

"You're mute, Sophie. Say you are going to start this business now. How do you intend to communicate with your customers? Mhmm? Go on, tell me. because no one can hear a mute girl speak. Not to deter you, my darling, but you can try something different."

But Sophie would not easily be deterred; she had straightened her back, squared her shoulders, looked her aunt in the eyes, and wrote that she was doing this, with or without her permission.

Three months later, Sophie had rented her own apartment and moved out. Her aunt had not believed it and still finds it hard to believe to this day.

A loud horn from a passing car woke Sophie from her reverie, and she sighed. She had come a long way since that day. She had faced the storm, met with a lot of hurdles, and thought about giving up so many times, but still, she always found herself back here. Somehow, she had been able to convince herself that this was all she had and that it was all she worked for.

She made her way into the shop and was immediately greeted by Rhys, her assistant and receptionist.

"Welcome, Sophie." He said it without looking up. "How did your walk go?"

She gave him a thumbs up, and a smile crept to his face. Sophie always wondered how he did it and how he knew her response when he could not hear her voice, and he was obviously concentrating on something else.

Rhys always said he could hear her in his head, and that was why he could tell what she was signing or writing even when he was not looking. Sophie always called his bluff.

Sophie began to walk away; she had a few things to bake before they finally retired home for the day.

"Uhhh, before you go," Rhys called. His head was underneath his desk, and Sophie could hear the clangs and bangs of pans as he searched for something. His head came back up shortly after, and he shook his head once more in an effort to move his long bangs from his eyes. It was futile.

She sighed, stretching her hand. She moved the bangs from his face to behind his ear.

Rhys handed her a letter. "It came from the agency while you were away. You might want to go through it."

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
