Clancy's POVAs I moved down the hallway, I could feel Sofia's stare digging holes into my back.She was obviously shocked I said she was going to be a good mother.Definitely won't view it from the perspective of carrying my kids even though I wasn't going to make a good father.Yes, I was imagining a future with Sofia already despite knowing the consequences that might come with it.I brought out my device and called Sonia as I approached my room.She received my call almost immediately "Is she giving you trouble already?""She is asleep" I replied hoarsely and came to a halt in front of my door."That's surprising. How did you manage to do it?" She inquired and I took a deep breath before responding, not exactly a response to her question, "Give me an answer this time, What have you been discussing with Sofia?"My voice was stern even though I knew Sonia wouldn't be moved an inch."What are you talking about?"I grit and answered almost immediately, "Sofia, she knows Lily isn't my
My hands curled around her back and I couldn't help but place a quick kiss on the side of her scalp."She's asleep now. I'll stay until she is up again" Sofia's voice was soft as she whispered close to my ear and returned to surrendering her head on my chest."Why?" My throat was sour as I asked, "Why are you doing this?"Her face lifted gently from my chest and her eyes pierced into mine, in confusion."What are you talking about?" The innocence in her voice pricked my heart."Why don't you hate me as before?" I was curious at the sudden change even though I loved it.There was a time she wished I was dead and I knew it.A gulp went down her throat and she relaxed her head back on my chest, "Maybe it's because I love everyone, all of my life. I have a good relationship with people. If you have a sister, I believe we would get along"My heart skipped a beat at the mention of 'sister' but I was quick to control myself.Why would she talk about Lily when I just finished awakening the tr
Sofia's POVEverything happened so fast.In the twinkle of an eye.I came around for something else only to have a breakthrough with Mr. Pompous after so many bumps.He felt so easy and different to deal with this moment.Like I was conversing with an entirely different man.I should be pissed at the fact that he knew my feelings the entire time but chooses to ignore them but he said it himself, unusual.Moreover, I got to see the truth in his eyes, the truth I always longed for.He didn't say the words but I could see them boldly.Mr. Pompous loved me the entire time, it wasn't just sympathy or recent care for me.My heart pounded heavily against my chest as my mind could not believe what was happening. This isn't another Mr. Pompous, right? The feeling of his skin on mine, the proximity, and the intoxicating scent that came from him, fvck! It's really him. "It has always been yours to take. You are the right man" I revealed to him as he hit me with another shocker.He was prepar
Sofia's POVI was awakened from my sleep by a faint noise and my eyes blinked open to see Mr. Pompous fast asleep on the other side of the bed but facing my direction. The noise seemed to be coming from the door so I turned in the direction and groaned feeling a slight pain between my legs. "Hey, Daddy! Daddy!" I could hear a faint voice from behind the door and instantly recognized it as little Lily's. Fvck! She is awake. I was carried away with the moment and slept off on the bosom of Mr. Pompous. I rolled over the duvet to get down but gasped on seeing the blood stains on my thighs and the bedspread too. Moreover, I was completely naked. "What's that noise?" My movement was interrupted by the husked voice of Mr. Pompous and I turned back to see him awake. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and I responded to him in a low tone, "It's Lily. She's awake and must be searching for me" Mr. Pompous groaned and then cleared his throat, "Stay back. Let me deal with her"He got off the bed
Sofia's POVA smile curved at the corner of his lips when Lily hugged his legs with her eyes raised up and for a moment, I was jealous of the little creature.He had a soft spot for her.Little being competing with me for my man.I almost pouted."Are you going to play with me today?" Her little voice sounded as he began moving his legs towards my direction and our eyes met.I felt the instant connection when his green eyes pierced into mine and I couldn't help but beam an infectious smile.Yeah, Infectious as he smiled back at me which was totally mind-blowing.He had become different over the night."I have office work to handle today, Sofia will take care of you, and Teresa too" He struggled to move with the little creature clinging to his right leg until they got to the position I was standing.When Lily's eyes were distracted, he pecked my right cheek which in turn glowed crimson, and his voice was calm, "How do you feel?""Teresa is not funny. I just love her food" Lily blurted o
Sofia's POVIt had been about ten minutes since we came inside and I was feeling the need to use the bathroom already.My eyes dart in the direction of my bed and there lay Lily with her eyes widely opened.I've tried to engage her in a conversation but she wouldn't respond to me which is unusual.She was sad and I could tell she hated this third brother of a person."Hey" I approached and kissed her cheek but she did not bulge and that made me sad."I'll be back and I got this good movie you might want to see, Give me a minute.."The little girl did not blink an eye and that made me sigh heavily.I found my way into the bathroom and closed the door behind me before taking a quick piss.Couldn't wait for Mr. Pompous to return and explain what was happening because I was getting scared already even though I didn't want to be.Lily had never been this sad since I met her and that made me worried.I pushed my blonde hair behind and washed my spotless face in front of the rectangular mirr
Clancy's POV"Your presence here today means a lot, Mr. McCain, We hope to have you again and we look forward to your response on this proposed partnership" I shook hands with the foreigners in suits before making my way out of the conference room.It's been a long day and I couldn't wait to get back to Sofia.Had to deal with these foreign heads who had a tempting proposal I couldn't afford to resist.I met my secretary at the intersection of the building and she hurried behind me quickly."That's all for today, Boss. Should I outline the next set of investors on the list or you'll prefer them sent to your mail? The proposal looks promising as well "I made to respond to her but the buzzing of my device made me pause and raise a finger.Bringing out the phone, my brows furrowed on seeing who the caller was.'Matteo'.Oh fvck! Just like a call from 'Devin', could only mean trouble.It was the same for Matteo but a lot worse.Devin was in charge of the company building but Matteo was t
Clancy's POV"Third Brother, you are intruding on this territory" I announced, taking a step closer to him causing his men to let down their hands from the rifles they carried. They knew perfectly well I could drop another and not blink an eye about it.Elijah scoffed and brushed the roof of his nose with his finger, "Do you have the slightest idea of what you just did?By asking, he didn't disappoint cos I expected it."I was going to ask you the same, entering my city without an invitation"He scoffed one more time and gently tilted his head to the side, "Your city? I built this empire with my brothers when your stupid ass was rooting in the orphanage" My countenance switched instantly not because he tried to shame me but because he did it in the presence of Sofia. I wanted to keep every detail of my past from her but now she would be curious about this hint dropped by him. Sofia is always curious. I did not restrain myself to hit him in the face with the butt of the pistol in
