2024-10-29 19:42:56Sophia stood in front of him with so many racing thoughts. She wasn’t expecting anything like this. At least not now. Maybe in a few years. She was trying to clear her mind and she knew there was no chance of that happening. She started to think of the couples she knew. The ones she saw. Some of them had been together for years before they got married and some were together for a few short months. They all seemed happy. There was no real time frame for this.
She had a few questions for herself though. She looked at him as he waited now with a panicked look on his face. She knew he was waiting. Could this work between them. She knew that it could. They worked well together. There might be issues but they talked things out. That was key. She had never met someone who was able to say what he wanted so clearly and then worked out the steps to get it done. He did that when she didn’t understand something he was doing. He explained it to her. That was a ke

Three months later….Sophia was having trouble getting moving in the morning. It seemed every time she tried she got dizzy and just wanted to lie down. By noon she was feeling better and she dragged herself down stairs. The farm house was much bigger than what the two had though it would be when they first saw it.They had moved in together right away after they returned from the trip that brought them together in first place. The company was surprised when he decided to move his office from the building to his new house and did ninety percent of the work from home. He hired two people to help him oversee everything that was going on in the rebuilding of the company.The lawsuit that was brought to the company from a group of the workers that were fired on the trip ended with a counter lawsuit for knowingly putting the company at risk for sexual harassment charges and other things including the attack on Sophia

Sophia knew her life had changed so much in a short amount of time. Micha’s had as well. The business was now growing even better without the other people in the company. He had made it, so it was much easier to come forward if there was a problem in the company, and he also made the departments better to work in.He had started rebuilding the structure from the ground up. Everyone knew that he was now happily married to Sophia though he did get the offer every once in a while for an affair. He thought the idea was absurd and would often outright tell the person. He made it perfectly clear that his wife was the only person he would be involved with.When it happened as well, he made sure to tell Sophia what took place and how he acted. Though he never held back as she grew with their first child, she started to have doubts about herself.Micha knew this was in her head, but he wasn't about to let it be the thing that broke

Chapter 51The night started when he came to get her, and he looked at her head to toe and then grinned in a way that made her heart soar. He put out his arm and then led her to their SUV, and then he started driving.“Where are we going?” she asked as she looked at him. He was also dressed differently.“Sophia, I wanted to go somewhere where we could talk. Really talk first, and then I have a few things to show you.” He said, and she could feel her heart begin to drop. She knew what this talk was. She was trying to brace herself for the worst, but then he stopped, and they were by a field. The field had dots on the horizon that were familiar to her. They were nothing but cows that had been put out to graze for the fall. She smiled at the sight.“So you wanted to talk?” she asked as she tried to harden her voice a bit so he wouldn’t realize that he was breaking her heart b

Chapter 52“Sadly, yes.” He said as he looked at her. “Baby, I know that telling you that means you are gonna want to bring all of them home with us, but I know you won’t. We could take them all, but your aversion to birds is a thing. I think they said they had mostly birds as well. We will see what you want, though, and then we will find the place to put them.”“Micha, we can’t just take on a working farm by ourselves and the help that we have. I understand what you are saying and doing, but I want you to know I can have some restraint.” Sophia said.“Then get in the car and show me some of this restraint.” He chuckled as he looked at her. “Because as soon as you see the late breeders, I doubt you will have any.”“Late breeders?” she asked.“Well, one of the things that made them decide to pack it up was an inci

Chapter 53The two women walked through the first barn. Sophia saw that all the animals were in good condition. She was afraid they would be in less than taken care of when she heard they were going to auction. “To be honest, I just don’t have the time to deal with getting groups ready for sale. He helps, but honestly, his mind isn’t what it is used to be.” The older woman said. “When the vet first thought we would have some out-of-season babies, I laughed because he didn’t tell me anything. However, one of the stable hands then let me in on his ability to forget what he was doing, and then he could leave a gate open or something like that. After the first time, which is the result you will be looking at soon enough, the hands here all keep a close eye on him for me while I am handling something else.”“I am sorry,” Sophia said.“it is time for us to retire.&rdq

Chapter 54“Evidence?” she asked.“Sophia, just hold on.” He said as he floored it onto the main road, and then he took off to the police department. The area was relatively small compared to him living in the middle of no where so the roundabout route he was taking led them to the department, and then he got her out, and they walked in and looked around.“Can I help you?” A voice in the back of them asked as the person looked around them.“I hope so,” Micha said as he looked at the person. “However, I am not sure that it is a crime. I do want to make sure that it is reported and documented.”“And that is what, sir?” the man asked as he looked intrigued by the way Micha said things.“So my wife and I were interested in buying some of the animals at the Hatchets farm,” Micha said. “I already bought their cattle, and then I kne

Chapter 55“Come with us, please.” The captain said as he motioned for the couple to follow him. “Understand before we go into the room this is a very small department. We have a traveling detective that covers the entire county.”“Okay,” Micha replied as he looked at the men there. He had his hand at Sophia’s back and kept it there. He knew how small areas worked. They only had the sheriff's office that was twenty or so miles away from the ranch. Though this area was more populated than his, it was easy to see they would be shorthanded. Most farmers that were in the area had been there for generations. These people all grew up on the land as well.Sophia looked around the hallways, and then they walked into a small room. There were news articles on the walls taped up. She saw the date on some of them. They were a few decades old. She was confused. She looked at the men standing

Chapter 56 “Okay, so what are you really telling us?” The Captain asked. “You said the people made you feel uncomfortable. That is that, okay, but that doesn’t give us any real criminal activity.” “Like I said in the beginning. Something isn’t right there, and I knew that it is not enough, but I had to do something to let you know that something isn’t right there.” Micha said. “I still don’t know how people go missing on that farm.” The quiet man asked who had been looking between the two people and the board that was on the side of the room. “Farms have so many ways for people to die or go missing. You know I never really thought of it before.” Sophia said. She looked at the men. “I mean, the tools we have for the animal care is one thing. We have everything normally on site. We have some things as well, like poison for the rodents and bugs. We have so many things that could hold and treat animals as well. Holding pens,

They settled in for the night, and all he could do was hold her close for the night. She understood why. He knew it was over, and all was good. He knew that she was safe there when she was in his arms. She wanted to be there as well. He looked a little more in peace. She watched him as closely as he watched her as closely. She knew that he was this way only because they were safe. He had to have her in his arms, and that was the only way for him to relax. He thought he had put them all in danger. She knew that was his biggest problem. He was now ready to accept that within himself. The time was going to go by quickly. The days would pass, and they went in the same direction. She went to work on the farm, and soon enough, they had another building put up within a few weeks of that fateful weekend. They knew that they were working for something that was still a new idea. He went to the building every day, and then he was abl

“Sophia, they had people there waiting in an underground bunker.” He said. “There were things in there that frankly were disturbing. The things they did to those people in the name of making their farm better. Actually, I have no idea what they were talking about when they were handcuffed. Nothing was making too much sense. However, they found other things in the house.” “What were they?” Sophia asked as she propped her elbows on the table and looked at him. She had forgotten about the food that was in front of her even though she was ravenous from all the work done during the day. “Sophia, you shouldn’t have this in your head,” Micha said as she looked at him, and then she changed the look. “Micha trust me that my imagination is worse than the truth so just spill it,” Sophia said as she looked at him. “They had people down in the bunker to help with the experiments that they were running,” Micha said as he looked at her. “Their sons, b

Micha sat at the table and began to dish out the food. As he watched Sophia go over the paperwork piece by piece as he got the food ready for them. “The records are in good order from all I can see. I will get them all digital this week.” “You can rest tomorrow.” He said, and she looked at him and shook her head. “Micha, I know you have been through a lot today, but we also just took on a bunch of animals I wasn’t planning on having. We still have a few months before we really have to think about prepping for the winter with all of them.” Sophia said. “I know you have things on your mind, but I have to do the planning.” “Baby, I know,” Micha said as he looked at her. “You have the animals to think about now. I get that I forgot how much I just added to your plate.” “That doesn’t matter to me. You should know that. I told you to get them all. I don’t even matter that you brought the birds back. I don’t think this has anyth

“What?” she asked as she looked at him. “I love you.” He said as he stood up and then kissed her. “I couldn’t have this dream come true without you.” “Well, Micha, our hobby farm just became a real one.” She said as he kissed him back, and then the two just stood there with her in front of him, leaning on his chest. “Ma will like it here now.” He laughed, and she laughed as well. “She did call it better than anyone else in the family. She knew that this was going to be our life as well.” “Of course it was going to be.” She replied as she laughed. “Micha, we were born to do this. We have your beef cows. We have milk cows. We have horses, alpacas, goats, and all those birds.” “No tot mention a few sheep.” He said. “Sheep?” she asked. “Surprise.” He replied as she was shaking her head. “Where are they?” she asked. “On their way here, not today.” He replied. “Micha Moran.” She said as she look

Micha was on his feet almost the entire day. The words from the old man as he looked at him still haunted him. He looked at his house and knew that the last transport truck was right behind him. He parked in the back of the house and then walked around the house to find his wife directing traffic like she was the ultimate supervisor. She was smiling at everyone and looking over the animals. She turned when he took a step onto the porch where she was at. “I thought I told you to stay inside.” He said as he looked at her. Then he looked at what was propped up on her leg, and he chuckled. “Of course, you would find a way to get around the one request I had for you.” “Micha, what is it?” She asked as she looked at his face. The lines were a little deeper as he looked at her. His head hurt. “They are sick,” Micha said. “I never thought I was really putting you in danger when I took you there last night. Sophia, you save

“I will be home as soon as I can, Baby.” He said as he hung up the phone and turned to see the man walkout. This time his wife was with him, who looked happy that the animals were being loaded up rather easily. “Here you go.” Mr. Hatchet said as he handed over a box full of records for every one of the animals. “I hope your lovely little wife likes them as much as we have.” “I am sure she will,” Micha said as he took the box of records and laid the cattle ones on the top. He walked up to his car, and that was when the cops that were behind him took the lead. He continued to the car, and then there was a rush of officers everywhere. He smiled to himself. Whatever they had seen was probably all they needed too. The Captain was there as well. He put out his hand to Micha at the top of the driveway. “We got them because of you and your wife. I can’t thank you enough.” “I don’t really know what you are talking about, but I am glad I co

Micha made a call to the transport company, and they were sending out another crew with two trucks to get everything loaded up quickly. When Micha explained the situation quickly and not very detailed, leaving the person on the other end of the phone to fill in the blanks, they agreed that getting there quickly and the animals removed quickly was the best thing. Micah was a good customer, and they knew that he would pay whatever they wanted without a quote, and he tipped really well as well. He knew that he had to make another call and he hoped she had her phone on her. When she picked up, “Micha?” “Hey Cowgirl. “he said. “So we got a few critters coming your way soon.” “What type of critters and how many do I have? So I can have every one ready for the delivery trucks.” Sophia said. “Don’t get mad at me.” He said. “You got everything, didn’t you?” She asked. “Not the pigs.” He replied. “Well, than

“Now, the fowl?” Micha asked, seemingly ignoring the man behind him. “We got three hundred chicken. Nine turkeys. Two emus. Five pea fowl and two pea cocks.” The older man said, knowing that Micha was showing him the respect as the seller by not responding to the men behind him. “And how much for the entire lot?” Micha asked. “I can have the money transferred in five minutes.” “How about a cool ten thousand for the entire lot of everything?” Mr. Hatchet said. “Eight thousand,” Micha said as his counter. “Deal.” The man said. “I will have the money in your account in a few minutes,” Micha said as he pulled out his phone and then transferred the money quickly. He already had the information he needed to transfer the money, and he hit send, and the other man got a notification. “We will have all the animals off the property tonight After the paperwork is given.” “Thank you very much.” The old man said. “I will be ba
