Trade Breaker Chapter 87
Miles leaned back in the seat of the private jet he was on with a smile still playing on his lips as he stared at the blank screen. Dominic’s abrupt ending of the call amused him. His expression grew serious; he only toyed with Dominic to alleviate some of his frustration and tension. The faint hum of the engines filled the cabin, and the leather seat creaked as he shifted.He had successfully crammed three years' work to completion in less than a year. His amusement fled as fast as it had arrived. He stared out the window at the fog of clouds before him, their formless shapes mirroring the turbulence within his mind.Teasing Dominic was a temporary fix for what ailed him. He had lost the cure, thrown it away with his own hands. He was a pathetic excuse for a man. It only took him almost four years to realize it. To a shame to come clean. He used sarcasm and humor as a shield for what he was feeling to mask his pain.Unfortunately for him, no matter how hard people try to avoid, hide,

Miles buried his face in his hands and sank deeper into his memories. It was the company’s anniversary celebration, the same thing every year. Two random staff members' names were drawn from a box, and they would organize the event using one of the larger conference rooms.That year, Miles's name was one of the two chosen; his little suck-up was the other. A bitter chuckle escaped him as he remembered how they had approached their task.His little suck-up had been all business at first, the same as she always behaved when they were at the office—armed with her little clipboard and a focused gleam in her eye.It was their first time working on something together since he’d gotten her the job in his father’s company. But the longer they had spent time together, planning decorations and debating menu choices, the more the formal facade had crumbled.Their familiarity with each other surfaced, and they'd giggled like schoolchildren as they acted out ridiculous party games, their faces flu

Miles had emerged from his room first, looking smug as he settled onto the couch. He'd thrown on comfortable sweatpants and a worn t-shirt, his hair still damp from the quick shower. He’d opened a beer bottle and took a long swig, relishing his victory.A few minutes later, his little suck-up appeared, her hair wrapped in a towel, wearing pajama shorts and an oversized shirt. She groaned when she saw him already lounging on the couch."No fair! You must have rushed through your shower," she said and pouted, flopping down next to him.Miles grinned, handing her an opened beer. "A win's a win. Prepare yourself for two hours of coral reef ecology."She took a sip and narrowed her gaze. "You wouldn’t…would you?”"You're right," he said and chuckled. "I'm feeling merciful. How about we compromise on a chick flick?"She beamed, her eyes lighting up. "Really? You'd watch a rom-com with me?""Don't get used to it," he warned, but he couldn't help smiling at her enthusiasm. "This is a one-time

When her words had reached his ears, something inside Miles snapped. He could no longer see her as the cute little girl he used to tutor. He stood, lifting her with him. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her toward his bedroom, their lips never parting. He laid her on the bed, hovering over her."You're beautiful," he said, drinking in the sight of her aroused expression, her swollen lips red, and begging for more. She pulled him in for another kiss. They shed some of their clothes as their hands explored exposed skin. It should feel wrong doing this with her, but he couldn’t shake the belief of how right this felt. Every touch, every kiss seemed to ignite sparks between them. Their bodies moved in a natural rhythm like they had been made for each other.She attacked him with a hunger that matched his own, pulling him toward her for a searing kiss that threatened to set his very soul alight. Their lips crashed together, locked in passion, teeth-gnashing, and tongues

Closing his laptop, Dominic gazed at the play area in the corner of his office. A bittersweet smile on his face. He never imagined his life would turn out this way, but here he was, a single father doing his best to protect and nurture the precious little girl who had stolen his heart.He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He remembered moving the nursery to the room next to his, which Solo had once used for her artwork, and having to build an adjoining door to his bedroom after finding Daryl crying alone in her room.Aralise was nowhere to be seen while Sapphire played music in her room, which was so loud it could wake the dead. Appalled by their disgraceful, neglectful behavior, he called for the builders to do the necessary building work and moved Darryl’s cot into his room as a short-term solution.The mother returned several hours later, laden with shopping and a carefree smile. When he confronted them, both women said that the other was responsible. Aralise stated that Sap

Miles let himself into the office—he walked in carrying a keyboard, its keys gleaming under the office lights, and headed toward the play area. “Where’s my little sunshine?” he said, pretending not to see her chewing on the corner of a plastic brick. Daryl giggled at the tall man towering above her, her chubby hands dropping the brick as she staggered to her feet, wobbling toward him with arms outstretched. Her delighted squeals filled the room.“Ma, ma,” she called, her baby voice sweet and endearing.“Hey, ugly Mama, I’m here too. Did you miss me as you strolled past?” Dominic’s voice cut in, laced with mock indignation. He chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “What’s that you’re carrying?”“I noticed the last time I came how much she liked the music box I gave her and wondered if she wanted to create some music of her own,” Miles replied, setting the keyboard down on the floor.Dominic raised a brow, suspicion flickering in his eyes. “You mean you noticed how much that thing irrita

Solo smiled as she gazed out the window of their converted office and workstation. The afternoon light filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows across the lawn, where the children played in a sand pit supervised by the nanny Kirael’s parents insisted on.It had been a whirlwind year filled with resentments, regrets, challenges, rewards, and moments of joy.Her grandmother’s mansion was huge, consisting of a main house and a few smaller houses connected by long cobbled pathways leading to the main house.She remembered her time in Florence and the emergence of Solaire Designs, a contractual enterprise that started within the House of Ricci, which was just a fledgling dream of hers and was encouraged by Charles.After only one year, and with the help of her dear friends, it had blossomed into a thriving business, exceeding both her and Kirael's most optimistic projections.

Solo and Kirael stepped outside, the sun warming their faces as they surveyed the scene. In the sandbox, the children immersed themselves in their creations, each enthusiastically pursuing their interests.Damien's hands moved as he sculpted a miniature version of the main house in the sand. His brow furrowed as he added details to the tiny windows and doors. His creation showcased his keen eye and budding architectural skills.Beside him, Daniel sat cross-legged, his finger tracing patterns in the sand. At first glance, the patterns appeared to be squiggles. Closer inspection revealed that the boy had etched what looked like lines of code into the granular canvas. The symbols and numbers flowed logically, hinting at Daniel's understanding of computer languages.Nora's tongue peeked out from the corner of her mouth as she twisted and turned a colorful Rubik's cube in her hands. Her eyes darted across the faces of the puzzle, her mind working through the algorithms to align the colors.

Dominic stood in the foyer of the mansion, his fingers trailing along the polished banister as he ascended the staircase. The sound of a violin drifted down from the upper floor, its melancholy notes tugging at his heart. He paused midway, closing his eyes to listen.Five years had passed since Solo left him, but the ache lingered. Dominic had devoted himself to raising Daryl and nurturing her musical talent. He'd watched with pride as she collected award after award, her name becoming synonymous with virtuosity in classical circles.As the violin's song reached its crescendo, Dominic resumed his climb. He approached Daryl's practice room, the door ajar. Through the gap, he could see his daughter—eyes closed in concentration as her small fingers danced the bow across the strings.The sunlight streaming through the window caught the golden highlights in her hair, reminding Dominic of autumn leaves.He leaned against the doorframe, content to watch in silence. As he studied his amazing

Vivian's hands trembled as she dialed the number, her heart pounding with excitement and trepidation. The line crackled to life, and she heard the familiar voice of her old friend on the other end."Clara, it's me," Vivian whispered, glancing over her shoulder to ensure she was alone."Vivian? What's going on? Your message sounded urgent," Clara replied, concern evident in her tone.“Is the line secure?”‘Yes, what’s wrong?”Vivian took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation ahead. "I need your help. It's about the babies, our grandchildren. There's something... different about them."She paused, searching for the right words to explain the inexplicable. "They’re gifted, Clara. Their intelligence could be off the charts. I've never seen such potential in children so young."Clara remained silent on the other end, waiting for Vivian to continue. Vivian's voice grew hushed as she recounted the incidents she had witnessed of the children playing in the sandbox.“I’m not sur
