“Okay, Mom! Okay, Mom!”“Hello, Ma’am, I’m Jake, Mr. Haysbert Caretaker.” Hearing this, Sophia’s eyes narrowed once she was confirmed that her babies were out of the room.“Caretaker?” She asked in a pissed tone, scaring the poor guy who had no idea what did he do? “This was how you were taking care of my Ex-husband?” She sneered. If Jake had thought that his boss could only kick him out of his job, he felt his lady boss could take his soul out of his body.“I.. I… am sorry, Ma’am, but sir didn’t want to hear anything from anyone.” Jake put all the blame on Brandon because he could find another job. His boss kicked him out, but he wouldn’t be able to return from death bed after losing his life.“JAKE,” Brandon glared at him.“Don’t scare him,” Sophia ordered. “You can now leave, Jake.”Once he left, Sophia reached near Brandon and sat on the stool near it. “How’re you feeling now?”“Good.”“I want to hear only the truth, Brandon,” Sophia said in a cold tone, knowing very well that he
Sophia felt goosebumps all over her body, and her throat dried up. She remained staring at him, trying to absorb what just Brandon had said. No, she wasn’t going to ask about Abby because if she would have been in his life, then he wouldn’t have been in this state.After some time, she finally decided to let out the words which were going on in my mind.“You don’t have to lie about ‘I love you’ things just because you want Colton and Calvin in your life.” She chuckled sadly, shaking her head.This was what Brandon was scared of off. She finally stopped trusting but deep down, he knew a part of her would trust him, and he wasn’t going to give up that easily.“No! It’s not about the babies, Sophia.” Brandon responded quickly. “To be honest, I never came for them in the first place. I came here when I got a slight hope that you might be alive when Colton used my black card. Indeed Colton and Calvin are bonuses about whom I had neither expected nor dreamt about, but all these years, I wan
“Please tell me that everything is fine between you two?” Bruce asked happily when he came to know from Jake that they had some serious talk for at least half an hour. Sophia had asked everyone to leave during that serious talk.“I won’t say everything is fine between us NOW. But yes, before leaving for the office, she had hugged me, and her gaze was soft.” Brandon said, recalling how they kept crying in each other's arms until she received a call from her office and she had to leave urgently.“What the fuck?” Bruce hissed. “Don’t tell me that now that you have started sharing your feelings in words, she started speaking in actions.”“First, dare you anything of these words in front of Colton or Calvin because if I will hear them speaking the same, I swear, no one can safe you from Sophia’s wrath,” Brandon said, on which Bruce recalled her conversation with Caroline. He could help but smile sadly. “And second, Sophia needs some time. I can’t expect her to behave normally as if nothing
Bruce and Jake weren't planning on staying at Sophia's flat. Because her flat was not big enough to adjust for everyone, but Calvin solved the problem easily."Mom & Dad will stay in our room. Colton and I will stay in Aunt Eden and Aunt Arya's room, and both uncles can stay in the third room."Though Sophia wanted to go against this arrangement, Calvin got support from his brother, and even Eden and Arya didn't mind sleeping with twins; after all, they had always treated them as their pups."But guys, you two also have a personal life," Bruce said, directly not mentioning their sex life in front of the kids.“Thank you for your concern Bruce but when will we need privacy? We will ask you to sleep in the hall on this sofa cum bed so that boys can get the room in which you both are, and we can get our privacy too. Right, Arya?”“Absolutely. If he is so much concerned about us. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind sleeping here.” Arya agreed with Eden, pointing toward the sofa.“Great. You guys are
Brandon hungrily kissed his woman. He still craved Alcohol, but he knew the taste of Sophia’s lips was like a drug. Neither he used to get over it before. Neither now. And who needed Alcohol when he had his personal cocaine with him?An idiot probably, but he was a fool, a self-aware fool. Who knew with whom he wanted to die, cocaine or Alcohol?A smile appeared on his lips when Sophia started kissing him back with the same affection and love which she used to kiss him then. He wrapped one hand around her waist, and well, he wasn’t the only one who had wrapped his hand around her, but her one hand was around his neck, while the other one was between his hair. He savored her lips like his life was dependent on them, and Sophia accepted everything coming from him.It was the first time he took the advance in kissing her, or she always used to kiss him first. Indeed, Brandon was keeping his words. Maybe, maybe, he wouldn’t repeat the same thing that he did during the first time.She didn’
“Slept well?” Eden asked, more like teased on which Sophia glared at her. Instead of waking up at around six. She slept till eight in the morning.“Colton and Calvin?” She asked, changing the topic.“They are still sleeping, enjoying winter morning. After all, it’s their holiday today.” Arya replied. “By the way, you didn’t answer us whether you slept well or not?”“Yes, I slept well. Why wouldn’t?” She hissed, throwing daggers from her eyes. “Can’t we talk about another topic now?”“Okay fine!!” Eden said before asking, “I checked the company mail yesterday and came to know that Mr. Grayson is pulling out his investment, and then I talked with Shailey from where I came to know you went to convince him not to do so… but something happened in that meeting I guess, isn’t it? So, care to explain what happened all of a sudden because of which most of our shareholders want to pull out their investment from the company?”Sophia knew this was coming become Eden was the CFO of the company, so
“Do you really think that bank will give you a loan that easily?” Brandon questioned, arching his brow. “That Grayson won’t let that happen, and he will make sure that you go back to him and beg in front of him for not doing this to you,” he added, gritting his teeth, recalling Sophia’s words about how that old man asked her to spread her legs for that bastard and not just that they called his babies as illegitimate.He wouldn’t spare him for that, not until she would be begging for forgiveness by rubbing his nose near Sophia’s feet, and that was a promise.Sophia knew that Simon Grayson would also scare Bank just like other shareholders. The last option she had was to take help from her brother and his mate, and she didn’t want to do that.She felt a warm hand caressing her cheek, which brought her out of her thoughts. “Let me help you so that I will get a chance to slap that old man indirectly, and after that, I will slap him directly for insulting you.”Tears started brimming in he
Five days had passed since Sophia announced in the board meeting that instead of Simon Grayson, a new investor, the President & CEO of Haysbert Corporation would be investing in her new project. So, whoever wanted to pull their shares out could freely do that as it would be their loss by doing so because the company had been growing for the past four years, and it would still grow further. In fact, the chances of growth would increase a little more when the toxic shareholders would be out.With this, she also returned each and every single penny to Simon Grayson. And the fact that Sophia’s company was going to have such a big investment from one of the popular and half-century-old companies meant a lot to other shareholders. They could clearly see the growth of the tiny company that had formed around four years back.From his own penthouse, Simon Grayson was reading the news of this investment, and he was pissed over this news. How the hell was this possible, and even if it was then,
