ALEX'S POV: After finishing our talk I went outside and waits for the the driver to bring the car in front. As I am standing Sophia called me. I don't want to answer it while I am here but I also don't want to cut it. I should just answer her in short so that it may look like a normal formal small talk with a client. "Hello?" I received the phone and said in a formal cold tone. " Hello? How is work going?" She asked me with her usual tone. "Fine. What do you need?" I asked her again in a harsh voice. Please forgive me for talking with you like this. "I am going to be late today but I will try to return before evening. That's all I wanted to tell you" She said and cut the call. I hope she isn't hurt. I should message her my situation when I will be in the car. After a while I get in my car and it start to drive back at our home. I have some important things to do at home. After quite a while I reached at home. I saw a car is parked in front of the house. It is my sister's car. I

Because I don't know anything beforehand"Okay let me be honest. That friend which you meet in the cafe was following us. So i did this to do a distract him" She said. Luca was following me? No it can't happen. "No i think you are wrong. It can be that his house is coincidencely this way?" I replied. I am sure he wouldn't do this. It can be that his house is this way. Can't it happen?"We are not sure. Let's wait here for a bit and then leave with another car which is on the way. I have to inform Mr. Alex about this" She said and bring out her phone from her pocket. I snatched her phone at that moment."Ma'am what are you doing. Please kindly give me my
HAYDEN'S POV: The first time I meet Sophia was when i was eight years old and Sophia was five. I can remember it vividly what happen that day. Twenty years ago when father first bring five years old Sophia to our house.Twenty years ago- I hear some noise more like my parents are arguing and cursing to each other downstairs in this early morning. I rub my eyes and then go downstairs. I saw a little girl standing with dad. And mother is speaking loudly."What do you mean we have to raise her?! We already got three children! Isn't that enough?!! And secondly you were cheating on me with some filthy slut! A filthy prostitute! And now you are telling me to raise that slut's daughter!" My mom said to dad. I went downstairs."What's wrong mom and dad?" I ask them. My parents look at me. Mother is still fuming with anger. Dad looks at me and told me- "Hayden, from today this is your little sister. Treat her well okay?" He said to me. But she is not mom and dad's daughter. Then why should
ALEX'S POV: " Uh..it's not that.. my parents don't want that you bring any bodygaurds or butlers. They want it a very simple wedding" She said. This question caught me a bit off gaurd. Why they want it. Just because of a simple wedding or they are scared that they will get caught. Some of my guards will be with Roger who is going to the party also. And the others will stay stand by. I will just say yes for now."All right then. It won't be a problem" I replied After thinking a bit. She smile and nod in response."But I feel bad for Reign. I hope she don't mind anything" She said again. Reign is coming with us anyway "Don't worry. She can come with us and then she will stay at our branch" I suggested her. "Yeah that will be a good idea!" Her face brighten up after hearing my response . She is so childish and silly. Time is quickly passing as the wedding day is coming closer. I am getting impatient day by day. There is still ten days left. We will left for America the day after tomo
SOPHIA'S POV: There I saw Hayden standing at the start of the stairs. Looking at me with disgust eyes. I know that. "Come down and greet them now" Mother said to him. After a bit he came down. And then he came near me and give me a hug."Its been a long time since we last meet. It's good to see that you are doing pretty well Sophia" he said softly like a caring person and then turn to Alex. He move forward his have for hand shake . Alex return it politely."It's been a long time since we last meet. Thank you for taking care of my sister." He said. He is saying as if he really means it. He really can act well. " Yes that's my pleasure." He said. "Why are you standing here? You had a long journey. Mom tell someone to show their room" He says. That's right my room. I always lived in the store room or where the maids stays. I wonder what they have planned. "Ah yes that's right. You had a very long journey. Get fresh and I am sending your foods to your room" Mother says. "Follow me.
ALEX'S POV: At the start of the stairs there I saw Hayden looking down at Sophia from there. There is something in his eyes. If I am not mistaken it is hatred which is showing in his eyes. I have saw these many times. So i understand easily. "Why don't you come down and greet them now. Don't be rude just standing there" My mother in law said. He nods and start coming down. Sophia looks a bit uncomfortable from the moment Hayden start coming down. I am just observing their reaction. He come down and went directly to Sophia to hug her I guess. He just normally hug her like any other sibiling in the world do yet Sophia looks so uncomfortable."You looks like you are doing well from the last time i saw you. That's good" He said as if he care. I am sure he doesn't. "Oh Long time no see Mr. Alex. Thanks for taking care of my sister" He says as he move forward his hand for hand shake. I polielty shake back."Sure it's been a long time. And yes I would obviously take s care of her. She is

Should i look back or should I make a run to my room. I should not left the dinning room alone in the first place. No I should look who it is. I slowly look turn around to see who it is.

"Oh..uh..Suddenly You put your hands on my shoulder it made a bit startled that's all. Anyway you are done eating?" I asked him. Quickly turning his question down."I guess you did not notified but I finished a lot ago. I was just siting with them to show respect.

After that we headed towards our room. After we went back to our room Sophia gets prepared for bed. "Are you all right? You had a very low amount of dinner. It is just because you are tired or something else" I asked her. It was really unusual. It's been more than one month when she start eating normally. "Uh no I am really tired today.

She looks like an angel while sleeping. How could they decide to do something to her. But it is fine now that I am at her side. I will protect her. I rub my fingers through her soft hair.

I guess I was tired after all" I slightly smiled and then replied. Then I remember watching Alex talking with someone in the middle of night. Was that dream or reality I don't know. Should I ask him about this? I want to ask him about him but don't know how to ask him about this. "Do you want to say something?" Alex ask me. Well here goes nothing. "Um..were you talking with someone in the middle of the night? I hear some voices..." I asked him. He chuckled a bit. "I guess that was in your dream. Don't tell me you saw me talking with some other girl in your dream ~" He asked me with a teasing voice. I feel myself blushing a bit. "N-no it is not like that ...it was just..um.." I don't know what to say. I lost words to reply. "It's fine..I was just kidding" He replied again chuckling a bit. After a few more moments we a
Hayden's POV: My plans are all ready. Now it is all about time. I decided to kill Alex. I can poison Sophia a bit so that there will be no suspension. Cause I can not kill her. She is so precious to me. After Alex dies she has to come back here anyway since she has no nowhere to go. Just thinking about it makes me happy enough. The next day I handed the poison on of the maid, who agreed to do this because of money. Her name is Layla. "You have to put this poison in two bowl. In one bowl you have to put this a bit much and in another a bit less. You do your work properly and then you will get your promised money" I said to Layla. "Okay young master. You can totally believe me. And I hope I will not get caught. Right?" Layla asked me."Yes you do not have to worry about those things. Just do your work." I said. "Okay young master" She replied and bow down and then left. Tonight is going to be fun. It is already night. I can not contain my excitement for much longer. Just then a mai

We will send your dinner there" Dad said. It is for the best. We nod yes and then head back to our room. "That was quite a scene down there " Alex says after we went back to our room. I feel so embarrassed about it. "Yeah I know..she is always stubborn about everything from when she is young. So it was not unexpected" I replied. Yeah she
