All Chapters of Chasing Sofia : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ALEX I had to quickly leave her.I didn't trust myself not to touch her or do something silly. It was that bad, she was that tempting to touch.Waking up to see her cute face was on another level. Her mussed hair, her swollen face, her full lips. It was too tantalizing to be overlooked. I just had to brush my lips somewhere on her skin, still closer to her face. And I settled on her cheeks. Her smell was so captivating, and, it made me want to wrap my arms about her. I didn't waste another time. I grabbed my wallet and dashed out. It was just the best escape for me. And as I left her porch, my phone vibrated and when I read the text, an evil grin creased on my face. It was a message from my private investigator. And it was good news, a very good news.As I read the text from the private investigator, a surge of satisfaction and vindication coursed through me. Finally, that man would pay. It was no other person than Sofia's corrupt boss. He was about to be exposed for his despicabl

ALEX I felt like a small god right now. This was because of the fact that I had someone that saw me as her messiah. The feeling was out this world. The fact that she trusted me was on another level, it was the first time someone put their trust in me ever since I knew right to left.I was the instrument of bully. Anthony saw me as a play thing, so he used me to lie to our father, used me as a cover for his mischievous activities. I was the bad child, I was the one that lead the enemies to the Cartel and I was the one that walked right into the enemy’s den and got my brother and I kidnapped. All these stories, I caused them. It got to a point my father wanted to take me to reform school, it was because my mother intervened that I didn’t go.I remember that event that made me know Anthony will stop at anything to make our father hate me so much he would be forced to disown me. It was the kidnapping event. I remember it like it was yesterday. The day my older brother and I were kidnapp

ALEXI stared at the report for a while. It was great. It was five times different from when I first came here to arrogate the position of the head of security.I could remember how things were. The sales were nothing to write home about and clients come back to report one thing or the other. It was not a good report to give as at that time but now, it was too different and I was sure Blake Crow would want to see more of it. It would even change his perspective.So far so good, I had been able to portray as a good leader, something I haven’t been able to do since I knew left from right. Or, I haven’t been able to do it because of the low self-esteem I had. I always thought if it wouldn’t be from my father, it would be from Anthony Crow, my brother.To say I didn’t see Anthony as a god was an understatement. I saw him as another god after my father. All those years of bullying and torture in the dark room, the secret den Anthony would lock me in, they showed me what a god could do and

SOFIA I felt as though I had been unclothed and I was now naked. The fact that Alex had caught me staring at him made the butterflies keep roaming around my stomach. I was suddenly ashamed that I flushed and I more or less ran out of his office.But the shame was a good one. It wasn’t like the one I felt that night he rescued me from my boss. That day, even though I was fully clothed, though, parts of my office clothes were torn, still, I felt naked. But now, even if I was to go naked before Alex now, I was sure I wouldn’t be ashamed.The rest of the afternoon was spent on blushing and happily doing my work. As I delivered the rest of the memorandum, I kept on blushing and that didn’t pass the eagle eyes of Susan. At the office cafeteria to have our daily morning coffee, she kept on eyeing me until I was forced to talk.“Okay, what’s with the face?” I asked her when she wouldn’t stop looking at me.“How was your delivery to the long, lean and lethal office?”“I am not having this dis

ALEX It felt like I was listening to a broken tape that was playing out the truth.I expected an answer, but Blake Crow continued to laugh dismissively. It was clear that he had no intention of considering my ideas seriously.And then, that was when he decided to drop all he had been saving to say to me."Oh, my boy, you make me laugh. Now, let me make it clear to you.” Here we go, here comes the lashing. “You are a born failure, and nothing you do now can make up for all your years of failure and set-backs, I don’t know how much I’ve got to say to you to make you see that nothing good stays in your hands, they die, even the bad ones wilt, go brittle and then die. Stop pushing it, my boy.”When he said that, I was tempted to want to ask a question from him. All I would ask was if he really was my father. Growing up, I didn’t see the good side of Blake Crow, it was the fucked up side of him I saw. The side of his anger and disapproval of anything I ever lay my hands on.One of his com
