Entangled With My Baby's Billionaire Father Chapter Four
Michael’s POV The engagement was a week away. I sat in my office, staring at the sleek ring box on the desk in front of me. The diamond inside was flawless much like Cindy Berlick herself. A perfect match for the life my family had carefully planned for me. I didn’t want it. I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair. My mother’s voice still rang in my ears from our conversation earlier that morning. “Michael, this engagement is important for all of us,” she had said, her tone as crisp and calculated as ever. “The Berlick family’s influence will strengthen our position, and Cindy is exactly the kind of partner you need.” Partner. From the moment I was born, my marriage was destined to be a business. I never thought there was anything wrong with marrying a woman I didn't love to help the family business, as my father, my grandfather, they all did the same way. This is the way our family continues, the reason that our family business can keep expanding. “I

Sophia’s POV The notification of my day off came as a surprise. Michael rarely let me out of his grasp, even for a moment. I tried not to read too much into it, but the thought of a free day made my shoulders relax for the first time in weeks. I wasn’t used to unexpected kindness at work or anywhere, really but when Michael’s assistant informed me I had the day to myself, I didn’t question it. Instead, I texted Crystal June, my closest friend, asking if I could drop by. “Of course, come over! I’ve got snacks,” she replied almost instantly, followed by a heart emoji. Crystal and I had been friends since high school. She had always been the sunny, outgoing one, the kind of person who could make anyone feel better just by being around her. Even now, as adults, she managed to find the silver lining in everything. When I arrived at her apartment, she greeted me with a hug and a wide grin. “You look like you could use a break,” she said, ushering me inside. “You have no idea,” I m

Sophia’s POV “Sophia,” he said, his voice low and earnest. “There’s something I need to tell you.” But before he could say the words, my phone buzzed. I hesitated, glancing at the screen. Mr Mahone:Come to my apartment. Now. The words were simple, but the message was anything but. My stomach sank. Of course, it had to be now. Michael had a way of making everything feel urgent, as if his whims were the only thing that mattered. “Is everything okay?” Williams asked, concern flickering in his eyes. I swallowed hard, forcing a smile. “It’s work. I have to go.” He looked disappointed but didn’t argue. “Can I walk you home?” I shook my head quickly. “It’s fine, really. I’ll call you later.” He hesitated, then nodded, his smile tinged with sadness. “Alright. Be careful, okay?” I nodded, my chest tightening as I stood. “I will.” As I walked away, I couldn’t shake the guilt that clung to me like a second skin. Williams deserved better than this better than me. Mr Mahon

Sophia’s POV The notification buzzed on my phone early in the morning, the sound cutting through the stillness of my apartment. I rolled over in bed, dreading what I already knew I’d see. Debt Reminder:Amount overdue: 100,000$. Failure to pay may result in further action. I closed my eyes, the words searing themselves into my mind. My stomach churned, and I let out a shaky breath. This wasn’t new these reminders were constant. The creditors didn’t care about my circumstances, my struggles, or how hard I was working to stay afloat. All they cared about was the money. After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling, I forced myself out of bed. There was no point in delaying. I needed to face Lincoln Burrows, the man behind the loan company that held most of my debt. The bank was quiet that morning, the hum of machinery and hushed conversations creating a tense, sterile atmosphere. I withdrew what little I could spare from my account, my fingers trembling slightly as I stuffed th

Sophia’s POV The resignation letter felt like both a liberation and a concession. I stared at it for a long moment before finally gathering the courage to walk it over to my manager’s office. My hand was steady as I knocked on the door, though my chest felt tight with every breath. “Come in,” my manager called, her voice calm and composed. I stepped inside, the letter clutched tightly in my hand. “I’d like to submit my resignation,” I said, placing the envelope on her desk. Her brows lifted in surprise. “Sophia, are you sure about this? You’ve been an asset to the team.” I nodded, keeping my tone polite but firm. “Yes, I’ve decided it’s time for me to move on.” She sighed, glancing down at the letter before nodding. “Very well. You’ll need to complete the one-week notice period and hand over your work to your replacement.” “Of course,” I replied, offering a small smile. As I left her office, a strange sense of relief washed over me. One more week. That was all I had to

Sophia’s POV By the time I finished my shift, my arm throbbed relentlessly despite the makeshift bandage I’d applied at the restaurant. My exhaustion weighed heavily on me, both physical and emotional. As I trudged home, my phone buzzed with a call from Crystal. “Sophia,” her voice was immediately concerned. “I heard about what happened. Are you okay?” I sighed, clutching the phone tightly. “I’m fine, Crystal. It’s just a burn. I’ll take care of it.” “No, you won’t,” she replied firmly. “You’re going to the hospital. I’m picking you up in five minutes. Don’t argue with me.” True to her word, Crystal arrived in a flurry of determination, ushering me into her car and driving me to the nearest hospital. The hospital visit was quick. The doctor cleaned the burn, applied a soothing ointment, and wrapped my arm in a fresh bandage. “It’s a second-degree burn, but it should heal well if you take care of it,” the doctor explained. Crystal hovered by my side, her protective energy a

Michael’s POV When the email from the translation department landed in my inbox, I skimmed it out of habit, expecting another update. But one line stopped me cold: “Sophia Scofield has submitted her resignation and is proceeding to do her notice period for 1 week” I stared at the words, my chest tightening with an emotion I couldn’t quite place. Sophia wants to resign? The thought was laughable. She can’t resign. Not from me. I set the email aside, leaning back in my chair as irritation simmered beneath my calm exterior. Sophia had overstepped plain and simple. She thought she could walk away, that she could slip out of my grasp without consequence. That wasn’t how this worked. It wasn’t love. That was very much clear. Love was a sentiment, a weakness. It was just hard to train a woman who is compatible with me. She is my carefully cultivated kitten. I spent 5 years finally teaching her the way I like in bed. How can I let her go easily? No, Sophia leaving wasn’t an opti

Micheal’s Pov The restaurant was upscale and buzzing with activity when we arrived. Cindy greeted the hostess with her usual charm, and we were escorted to a table in the center of the room. As we sat, my eyes scanned the restaurant out of habit, taking in the polished décor, the murmurs of conversation, and the clinking of glasses. Then I saw her. Sophia. She moved gracefully between tables, balancing a tray with practiced ease. The restaurant uniform clung to her figure in a way that made my jaw tighten, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Several male diners turned to watch her, their gazes lingering longer than necessary. Sophia Scofield, a waitress The thought irritated me more than it should have. I had known she was resourceful, but this? This felt calculated, designed to draw attention, to provoke me. Cindy's bright laughter echoed through the restaurant, drawing attention. She tried her occasional attempts at playful conversation. But I responded with the

Sophia’s POVI stayed in the office late into the night, triple-checking every detail of the presentation I was preparing for Mr Mahone. The stakes were high, and I couldn’t afford to make a single mistake. By the time I finished, the final file was ready: precise, polished, and flawless. I saved it to the secure server and printed a few hard copies for the meeting the next morning. My body ached from sitting at my desk for hours, but a sense of accomplishment settled over me as I turned off my computer and left the office. The next morning, I arrived early to ensure everything was set up in the boardroom. As I placed the hard copies on the table and opened the file on the shared screen, a sinking feeling hit me. This wasn’t the version I’d prepared. The document on display was an older, outdated draft filled with glaring errors. My heart plummeted as I flipped through the hard copies they were the same. “No, no, no,” I whispered, frantically pulling up the server to locate

Sophia’s POVI set up the resumes of five potential candidates on Mr Mahone’s desk. My resolve was unwavering. I needed to find a replacement for myself so I could finally leave. I had spent the previous night combing through applications and speaking with candidates. These five were among the best. At least, I believed so. Mr Mahone, of course, had agreed to let me search for my replacement, but I wasn’t naïve. I knew him well enough to expect resistance. Still, I was determined to follow through. The first candidate arrived promptly at 9:00 a.m., a tall man in his late thirties. His posture was confident, and his handshake firm. He wore a crisp navy suit that exudes professionalism, and his polished shoes reflected the light streaming through the windows. “Good morning,” the man said, smiling politely. “My name is Andrew Carter.” Michael sat behind his desk, arms folded, and gestured for Andrew to take a seat. Andrew launched into his qualifications. “I have ten years

Michael’s POVSophia’s words replayed in my mind, each one sharper than the last. Her defiance wasn’t just unexpected,it was infuriating. She had never spoken to me like that before, not in such a manner and tone. It wasn’t just what she said, but the way she looked at me, unafraid, as though she had nothing left to lose. “Done being your toy while you go home to your perfect fiancée,” she had said. The accusation burned in my chest. How dare she presume to know anything about my life? About me? And yet... I couldn’t shake the nagging question: where had she found the courage to stand up to me like that? What had pushed her to the edge? Then her words about her debt came back to me. “You’re behind all of it, aren’t you? Cindy buying out the company I owe, the inflated debt!,it’s all part of your plan to keep me under your thumb.” My eyes fell to the debt statement sitting on my desk. The bold numbers stared back at me like a taunt, and a cold realization crept over me.

Sophia’s POV I hadn’t slept. The anxiety of the past few days had settled and aches in my chest, making every breath feel heavier than the last. But staying at home wasn’t an option anymore. Crystal’s words echoed in my mind as I walked into the office. “You can’t keep running, Sophia. Sooner or later, you’ll have to face him.”The tension in the air hit me the moment I stepped into the building. Colleagues exchanged glances as I walked past, their whispers barely contained. The hum of the office felt louder than usual, every noise grating on my already frayed nerves. And then, the inevitable came. “Mr. Mahone wants to see you in his office,” Laura said, her tone laced with satisfaction as she passed by my desk. Of course i said. I took a deep breath and made my way to his office, determined to face whatever storm that awaited me. Mr Mahone was seated at his desk, his piercing eyes locked onto me the moment I entered the room. He gestured for me to close the door, and

Sophia’s POVIt had been two days since I’d gone to work. Two days of ignoring the ringing phone, unanswered emails, and mounting anxiety. I tried to convince myself it wasn’t a big deal. What was the worst that could happen? It wasn’t like the company would collapse without me. But as I lay on Crystal’s couch, the thought that I was avoiding more than just work refused to leave me. The calls from the office were relentless, and when Mr. Mahone’s number flashed on the screen yesterday, I’d silenced it without hesitation. Even now, the phone vibrated again, another incoming call from a department I didn’t care to check. “I’ll deal with it later,” I muttered to myself, turning over and burying my face in the pillow. But when my phone lit up again, this time with Williams’s name, my heart sank. Williams. The one person I didn’t want to deal with right now. Since the night of their last dinner, I haven't spoken to him. It wasn’t because I didn’t care about him or apprecia

Michael’s POVTwo days. That’s how long it had been since Sophia last showed up for work. Her phone was unreachable, and the only thing filling the void of her absence was my growing irritation. My patience had worn thin by the second day. Sophia knew better than to neglect her responsibilities,especially after everything we had been through. By the time I arrived at her apartment that evening, my irritation had turned into quiet fury. But when I knocked on the door, there was no answer. I waited, my frustration increasing with each passing second. I called her phone again, only to be met with the same hollow voicemail message I’d heard all day. My thoughts turned to Williams. Could it be that Sophia neglected work to go and spend time with Williams? I ask questions with no one to answer them.So this is what she had chosen to do. Abandon work to wallow in the attention of someone who didn’t deserve her. I clenched my fists, my jaw tightened as I turned and walked back t

Sophia’s POVI walked into the building where I’d been depositing payments on my debt for months. I had just withdrawn $2,000 to make another payment, and while it wasn’t much. The balance on my last statement was $98,000 manageable, considering how far I’d come since the beginning. But something was off. The usual office space was dimly lit, a few construction workers hammering away at the walls. Signs reading “Under Renovation Services Temporarily Relocated” hung erratically on the doors. “Excuse me,” I asked one of the workers. “Where’s the payment office now?” He barely looked at me before pointing toward a map on the wall. “Temporary warehouse, a block down,” he said. The unease that had settled in my chest earlier grew heavier. A warehouse? Why would a debt company relocate to a warehouse? The warehouse was an unremarkable gray building, its exterior faded and covered in graffiti. Inside, the air was stuffy and smelled faintly of dust and sweat. A single clerk sat b

Michael’s POV I arrived home later than usual after my moms confrontation, as I stepped into the house, the faint sound of hushed voices and the shuffle of movement caught my attention. In the hallway near the kitchen, I saw Martha, my chef of over seven years, clutching a box of her belongings. Her face was pale, her expression weary as she handed a small envelope to a member of the household staff. “Martha?” I called out, my voice sharper than I intended. She froze and turned to face me, with her hands trembling. “Mr. Mahone,” she said softly, lowering her eyes. “What’s going on?” I asked, gesturing to the box in her hands. “I’m leaving, sir,” she replied, her voice laced with sadness. “Leaving?” I repeated, incredulous. “Why? I didn’t approve of this.” Martha hesitated, glancing around as if unsure whether to answer. Finally, she sighed. “Ms Berlick fired me, sir.” A wave of irritation surged through me. “Cindy fired you? For what reason?” Her gaze dropped to the

Michael’s POV The sharp sound of my office door opening pulled my attention from the report I was reviewing. My mother, Mrs Mahone, swept in without waiting for an invitation, her heels clicked against the marble floor with purpose. “Michael,” she said crisply, her voice tinged with that familiar mix of impatience and authority. “We need to talk.” I suppressed a sigh, leaning back in my chair. My mother rarely came by unannounced unless there was something weighing on her mind,something I was sure I wouldn’t want to hear. “Mother,” I said, keeping my tone neutral. “This is unexpected.” She crossed the room and sat in the chair opposite me, her posture was regal as ever. “It’s about the wedding,” she began, her sharp gaze locking onto mine. Ah. Of course. “You’ve been stalling,” she said, in an accusatory tone. “The engagement has been public for months, Michael. Yet here we are, with no date set, no plans made, and no progress whatsoever. What exactly are you waiting for
