All Chapters of The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SOPHIAI finally got over my shock as he began to walk up to us.What was he doing here? He never told me he was going to visit? Was that why he had been calling? He did say we should meet today, but I wasn't expecting him to come to my house.“What are you doing here?““Sophia I was worried, I couldn't get to you,” he said when he got to us.He raised his hand to my hair but before he could touch it or before I could step away, Ryan slapped his hand away.“What do you think you are doing?“ he snapped.Lucas turned to him, his brows arched.“You must be Ryan,” Ryan scoffed as he held my wrist, pulling me closer to him. “And what does that have to do with you?“Lucas smiled slightly and then turned to me.“Did you not tell him about our marriage?“His eyes darted back to Ryan. “And are you not supposedly engaged to Adriana Hills?““How problematic can you be? Bringing Sophia into this for your selfish gains,”“You don't know anything about me or Sophia,” Ryan replied, his voice harshe

SOPHIAI shook my head before my brain let those thoughts sink in.No negative thoughts. Not when I finally found a reason to be happy.I was about to pack up my things when I received a call. Since my phone was connected to my earphone, It didn't ring out loud.The number was an unsaved number. It didn't seem like the one Jake used to call me so picked it up.“Hello, how can I help you?““You are lucky you are not home.”I frowned and looked at the number on the phone again. Must be a mistake.“I'm sorry you have the wrong number,” I cut him off and ended the call.I rolled my eyes as I pulled the headphones off.My fault for answering a call from an unsaved number at midnight.I turned off my iPad, placed the pencil in its case, and covered the screen with the case.I got on my feet and walked up to Ryan to tell him I was leaving already. What I didn't expect was to see him asleep when I got to the table. No wonder it had been quiet earlier when I took off my headphones.He had his

RYAN“Mom, is there not something you can do to help me?““Do you love seeing me this miserable?“She turned to look at me at once. “Ryan! Why would you say that?!““You know, your father and I want the best for you and your sister,”I held her hand tightly.“Then help me,”“You know how hard it was for me when Sophie and I parted ways. Everyone thought I'd get over it but I never could,”“I found myself going to her every time but I was just too guilty to walk up to her. Now that I have a chance again, I can't let this arranged marriage ruin it,”“If it's not with Sophie, I can't do it,”“Help me convince Mr Hills that marriage is not the best way anymore. I have better ideas that'll benefit more in the long run, we just need to talk about that,”My mom slowly pulled her hand away from my hold and held mine instead.“Yes, I know Ryan. I know how much you love Sophia and I'm proud that you are facing those feelings again very openly,”“You know this contract wasn't just drawn up this y

SOPHIAI kept thinking about the text that I got last night even as I took my bath the next morning. Even when I stepped out and changed into my work clothes, I still couldn't stop worrying about what it meant.I'd have a long day today.Was that still a mistake? Or a coincidence? Three weeks ago, I received a call at around the same time I got the text, same as last two weeks and last week. Was it a cause for alarm?Did it mean something bad? Was it a stalker? Whoever was trying to prank me had better quit it, because I was starting to get creeped out. Especially the fact that the calls and texts came between 12 and 1 in the early morning.As I sat at the vanity to do my hair, an idea dropped in.What if I called the number? Stupid idea but that's the only thing I could think of.I didn't want to tell Zara or Ryan about it so they wouldn't worry too much, especially if it then turned out to be nothing serious. I took in a deep breath and then picked up my phone as I lowered the curl

SOPHIAI pulled open the door of the office and walked in quickly, heading for my seat immediately. I didn't turn to glance at him, this time around, I was going to walk away from him and not look back.“Is everything okay?“ Rose whispered, leaning closer to me. I shook my head as I forced a smile. “I'm fine,”She nodded and withdrew to face her desk. I turned on my system and opened the word app to draft my resignation letter.As I typed in the first letter, I paused. Leaving now would only put me at a disadvantage, I was yet to get enough to keep me for as long as I could find another job, and it would be unprofessional to leave here for personal reasons, so I decided not to anymore and I deleted the document.My phone beeped with a new notification and I picked it up, hoping it was the stranger that had replied to my question, instead it was Ryan.It showed he had sent 4 texts and the most recent was what was showing on the message's front page.Ryan: Please don't ignore me.That's
