Love Me Softly CHAPTER 51 - An Extra Ally
Rachel stood up and watched as Mr Anderson walked away from the library. She had felt so nervous talking to him, how could she open her mouth to tell him that she didn't know what to do from this moment? Wouldn't it make her look unserious?It was so strange to be involved in a case like this. In the movies, they made it look so easy — like all you had to do was just find the guilty person, open a court case, win the court case and take the person to jail. But in real life, it was completely different. Sometimes it worked just like the movies but sometimes, just like her own case, it was completely different.What do you do when you are worth almost nothing and you're going against someone who was in charge of a multibillion dollar company? What do you do when you are married to the son of that person and you're not sure if that person would choose to save his family instead of doing the right thing? Who would want to destroy their own family?It really didn't always work like the mov
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 52: A Sneaky Mission
"So, are you trying to say that this evidence I have is not enough to open a court case against him?" Sophia asked the middle-aged female lawyer sitting in front of her, a small round table between them.She cast a short glance around the large restaurant where she was. She had purposely picked a table towards the hidden part of the restaurant so she wouldn't easily be noticed. As she turned her eyes back to her lawyer friend, she took note of the two strange looking muscular men sitting about six tables away from her.She had noticed them ever since they walked in, it was almost like they had been following her, stalking her. Sophia wasn't sure yet but her guts told her she was on to something."That's not what I mean, Sophia" the lawyer answered "I have heard about Morris Scott and I know the type of person he is. I have an affiliation with another lawyer who has handled some law cases for his company. I can tell you one thing; he is a ruthless man, ready to fight for what he wants
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 53 - Becoming Aware
Morris tried to focus his attention on the blinking laptop in front of him but it was not working. His mind kept on wandering over to the mission he had sent Raymond to handle.Did it turn out successful? Had he been able to get a hold of the detective lady? This was the only way he could gain total control of the situation. If he acted slow or made any mistake right now, he would pay for it. And if Raymond failed in this mission to capture Sophia, it would become harder to ever capture her. She would become more careful and observant.Morris released a long sigh of deep frustration and pressed a few buttons, shutting down his laptop. He needed some fresh air, the oxygen in his personal library suddenly didn't seem enough.Getting up from his chair, he started walking towards the door and just at the same time, Raymond stepped into his library, a worried expression etched on his face."Raymond…" Morris muttered, completely startled as he almost bumped into him. He stepped back and cas
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 54 - More Trouble
Patricia grabbed her shawl from the chair and walked out of her bedroom. The sun was set high up in the sky, without looking at the time, you could tell it was mid-afternoon already. She still owed Rachel a heartfelt apology due to how she treated her the last time. This was a good time to see Rachel and talk about other things too.Pulling the main door of her villa open, she stepped out, heading towards the intersection that led to George's villa. The cold wind bit into her facial skin and she tugged at the shawl around her neck, wrapping it tighter.Just before she could walk over to the other side where George's villa was, Judith showed up, walking quickly till she stood at Patricia's front, obviously blocking her path. Patricia averted her gaze, acting like she didn't see what Judith was trying to do, she moved away from Judith's front and stepped aside to keep walking but Judith blocked her path again.Patricia clenched her jaw tight and closed her eyes briefly. Seeing this evil
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 55 - Laying It Bare
Morris rose up from his chair and stared at Patricia who stood quietly with an unreadable expression on her face."What are you trying to say?" He asked, hoping he was just overthinking and she didn't really mean anything she just said.Patricia scoffed "Are you trying to check if I really know what I'm saying or if I'm just pulling your legs? You want to dig deeper, right?"Morris looked away and muttered, getting irritated. "If you don't have anything important to say, you can leave. Don't mess with my plans for today, I have a lot on my plate…""You finally got what you wanted, right? My company? You must be so proud of yourself, Morris Scott" Raymond, who had been standing still all this time, glanced at her for a moment before looking away.Morris chuckled and waved her off "You can't be serious. What are you talking about?"Patricia paced slowly in front of where Morris stood, both of her hands resting behind her back. "You see, the more I think about it, your plan so far has
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 56 - Clashing
George reclined on a chair and watched as Tony settled on another chair. Tony quickly opened a briefcase he held and pulled out some documents, sorting through them.Tony sighed "I didn't expect that it would take this long to finally come around. I'm really sorry about that. Your father suddenly sent me on a two week business trip to sort out some issues in the company…""I heard about it. Anyway, you are here now. That's all that matters.""During my stay overseas, I was able to compile all the information in one place regarding Arthur Reeves case a—""Wait a minute. I remember you said that there was a reason why Rachel was acting weird to me. Well, she is still acting strange but I want to know what you meant when you said that." George saidTony grabbed the stack of papers on his lap and passed it to George "The answer you need is in that document. I am shocked by everything, honestly…""Shocked by what?" George grabbed the document and flipped it open, skimming each page careful
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 57 - Knowing More
"Where do we go from here?" Rachel asked Sophia over the phone. "Time has been going and it just feels like we're doing nothing much to pursue this case. Besides, George is already aware of everything""Are you serious? When did he find out?" Sophia asked"I think it was yesterday""What did he say? What did he do?""He confronted me about it and yes, we argued a bit because I didn't reveal it to him on time. But after that, he promised to help me get justice for my father.""Hmm…can you trust him on that? Getting justice for your father means he has to go against his father, his family. All of this might even affect the company sales when it enters the news. I'm not really sure if he would want to ruin everything his family has worked for just to help you, but let's see…""You just said my mind. I was having exactly the same thoughts. Anyway, that aside, we need to hurry up with this. Especially now that George knows, he might end up confronting his father about this. And the moment
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 58 - Numb
George stood still and stared at his mother and wife as they stared back at him. He huffed, taking in a big whiff of air through his mouth to prevent himself from crashing on the floor.Did he hear correctly? He wasn't sure. It must have been a mistake. He wanted to believe that it was but the look on their faces told him otherwise.Blinking away the angry tears trying to spill out from his eyes, he asked again in a low whisper "What did you just say? Did I hear correctly?"Patricia sighed and nodded. "Yes, it's true George. You heard everything correctly.""W—what?" George pressed his hand against his forehead, his breath coming out in short gasps. He couldn't believe his ears."I didn't plan to tell you this way, I wasn't really sure how you would react." Patricia answered "I recently discovered that Judith was the one behind your fire accident. She kept if for years, hoping that no-one would ever find out but she mistakenly spilled out the secret in an argument recently""Ugh…" Geo

Love Me Softly CHAPTER 76 - A Fresh Start
Five months laterRachel wadded slowly across the sitting room, placing a hand on her round waist for support. Her legs felt slightly heavy and she felt like a big whale that was about to push out a whole nation.Yes, a nation! She was absolutely losing it at this point.She rubbed her rounded belly, a frustrated frown on her face. All the baby birth books she read so far said the normal gestation period for babies was nine months. What exactly was this baby still doing inside of her?The baby was already due, why wasn't her water breaking yet? At this point, she could faint from exhaustion.Thank goodness Sophia was coming over today. She needed someone to talk to before she lost it.Has it been just five months since they got married? Ugh! It felt like five years!Because of this pregnancy!After this round, she needed at least four years to get herself back to normal, before deciding if she wanted baby number two.Her favorite food disgusted her, the back aches were almost driving
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 75 - Coming Together
Rachel stood up from her bed slowly, not sure she heard what Sophia just said clearly.George was here? For what exactly?Did he come to officially announce their divorce to her parents? Or was he here for another reason unknown to her?She wore her slippers and turned to head out to the sitting room. At the same time, George was walking into her room.Rachel paused when she saw him. The atmosphere in the room felt different all of a sudden. How could he even open his mouth to say he wanted a divorce only to look like this a week later?He was a reflection of her right now. It was obvious he was not eating well or sleeping well either. The bags under his eyes were enough proof. And was it just her eyes or was he slimmer than just a week ago?Her normal self would have shut him out in anger by now, telling him to go away for putting her through so much emotional torture in the past week but after hearing Sophia's advice, she felt like she could understand him now….He must have had a
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 74 - Fixing The Cracks
"Rachel told me everything that happened between the both of you…" Arthur Reeves voiced out to George sitting in front of him."Uhm…." George mumbled not knowing what to say in response.Arthur watched George fidgeting in his chair and rubbing his fingers together. George was nervous and uncomfortable around him….It was something he never thought would happen. George had been very close and dear to him in the past. For the most part, he had watched him grow from a lad into a young man. George used to talk to him comfortably more than he talked to his own father, Morris.Watching him sitting across, avoiding his gaze and mumbling words was strange to him.But he couldn't blame him….He could see that George felt guilty on his father's behalf. He felt that somehow he was linked to his father's nasty actions and had to pay a price too. That was why he was being hard on Rachel and cutting her off instantly.Because he believed she deserved a better husband from a 'clean' home….Arthur si
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 73 - Make No Mistake
"You are not my son anymore. Don't ever call yourself that again!….." Judith yelled through the transparent shield as she glared at James.James sat in front of the woman who was supposed to be a mother to him….But who had never been. Not even for once.You would think that locking her up in here would break her back but no! She was made of steel.Staring at her fuming angrily, he realized that he didn't have a lot of good memories of her. From a young age, she made his life miserable but he had to take it all because that's what children do, right?They take all the nonsense because they have nowhere else to go.He still remembered everything clearly….How she had frightened him as a child, threatening to kill George if she saw him playing with him again.He had been so afraid of losing his dear brother that he stayed away for so long until they were grown-up and there was no longer any bond between him and George.He remembered the countless slaps and beatings she would give him if
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 72 - Heartbroken
Rachel stood still and gasped in shock. It felt like a cold wind blew past her as she stared in surprise at the man who stood before her.Did she hear him correctly now or was she hallucinating? He wanted a divorce. George wanted to divorce her.If anyone had told her that the moment she came back from the villa this morning after spending some time with her father, she would hear a ridiculous statement like this, she would have just stayed back!Had he been drinking? What nonsense was he saying?Rachel was so shocked she didn't even notice the tears already trickling down her cheeks. As she stood in front of him with the divorce papers in her hand, what even annoyed her more than anything was the fact that he had already signed his part of the divorce papers.So quickly….Did he want to get rid of her so fast? She had already told her parents and Sophia that she was not putting an end to their marriage. She had also made it clear to George that she loved him….Why was he suddenly de
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 71 - The Division
"Are you expecting me to apologize to you? Have you lost your mind, you crippled imbecile?"George rubbed his hands on his forehead as Judith hurled different words at his mother, Patricia who just stared at her.He despised this woman a lot. No, the word was 'hate'. He hated her….Ever since she got arrested five days ago, he had been replaying different scenes from the past in his mind, feeling different emotions….All the nasty things this woman had done to his mother for years and gotten away with. All the times she had made his mother cry behind closed doors. For the moments when she rubbed it in his face as a little boy that he meant nothing to his father and her son, James was loved more than him. For the moments when she never failed to remind his mother that she was an unloved wife….And many other things he didn't want to remember right now.He couldn't for the life of him understand how his mother accepted her into the villa in the first place! That was all the push she nee
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 70 - The First Visit
5 Days LaterNothing would have prepared him for the way he felt the moment he entered the main villa of Imperial Hub Limited.What used to be Morris's villa….Arthur Reeves walked through the familiar pathway that led to where Morris used to stay. He used to go here to talk to Morris in his personal library. They would laugh, talk and joke around about different things.In the midst of their laughter and conversation, he never suspected for once that Morris despised him and was looking for a way to get rid of him.Till today, he still couldn't understand why Morris didn't just let him go….He knew that Morris felt uncomfortable about all the board members saying he was a better leader and businessman compared to Morris. He decided to leave because it made perfect sense to do so at that moment.He was already packing his things, making it known that he was resigning and would have nothing to do with the company anymore. Was that not enough?What else did Morris want? What else was he
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 69 - The Court Case
Sophia held out a piece of tissue to Rachel and rubbed her back gently. They stood at an empty section of the toilet. The floor above them was the room where the final court case was to be held. "Everything is going fine. Why are you crying?"Rachel dabbed her face with the tissue and sniffed "Don't worry. They are not sad tears, I'm just so happy. I can't believe that the day I've been waiting for since the last six years is finally here…."Sophia smiled. "That's true. I still remember when you were leaving to get married to George. I thought you were crazy back then. I thought you would be harmed over here or that something huge would go wrong. I couldn't understand why you would choose to take this path but I'm glad that everything turned out for the best.""Yea…I'm so glad nobody died in this process unless it would have made things worse. It wouldn't really feel like a victory after all"Sophia switched on her phone and checked the time. "We have about an hour left before the cou
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 68 - The Arrest
Rachel sat quietly at the dining table, eating her breakfast of waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. She peeked at George who was eating at the opposite end of the table.Something was off. Maybe he had a lot on his mind or maybe he just didn't feel like talking. It felt like he was keeping his distance from her, avoiding her.During this period, precisely since the evidence showed Morris was behind her father's case and when Morris also tried harming Sophia, George had been acting strange. He was distant.He didn't treat her poorly or anything like that but he wasn't himself like the way he was when they first got married. He answered all her questions whenever she asked any but he never really 'talked' to her.Most of their conversations so far were either about her father in prison, Mrs Patricia who was receiving treatment privately or Morris and Judith…..They hardly talked about 'each other' these days.Was it because they were in their twelfth month of marriage and they only had
