Sophia's POV
When Nick left the room I couldn't comprehend why. I saw him settling in the car and driving off. I was always scared of having this talk with him, scared of being left alone. When Ethan had brought the topic up in the car, I could feel Nick's stare on me. I knew he had noticed me tense up.
When he spoke about the baby , my immediate reaction had given away my uneasiness with the topic. I had to tell him about it . So I took a deep breath and decided to speak.
I told him that I couldn't give Ethan what he wanted. There was a brief moment of silence between us before Nick asked if I can conceive or not. His tone seemed so distant and cold but there was a trace of vulnerability in it. I told him that I could but before I could elaborate, he walked away.
At that moment I could feel my heart breaking. Did he discard me because I won't be able to carry a child. No , what am I even thinking? I know he would come back once
Sophia's POV"Nick, we don't have much time. It's just around the corner. We need to decide on the theme fast." I handed him the coffee mug and settled down beside him with the tab in my hand." We also need to choose the cake flavor. And the guest list remains to be finalized yet. We got so much to do." I huffed out . Nick put the mug down and moved closer to me. He took the tab away from my hand and kept it aside." Nick-"" Relax, I had already finalized the guest list and as for cake , it has to be chocolate flavoured, Ethan's favorite." I sighed and leaned on his chest only to sit up the next moment." Did you book the venue?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back to relax against him." I did."" And-" Nick cut me off." All settled. Now shut up and kiss me." I nodded in understanding." Okay th-" I cut myself off realising what he had said. I raised a brow at him." What ? I do deserve a
Sophia's POV" Hey baby , did you have fun at Grandma's place?" I picked Ethan up and placed him on my hip. We had sent Ethan to Mama's house for a week because we needed time to prepare the surprise. Everyone knows about it already including Char and Ryan but they were supposed to stay shut. Papa dropped Ethan back ,the evening before his birthday." I did but where is the surprise?" He looked around to trace any clue of what we had prepared. I nervously glanced at Nick who reassuringly blinked at me." It's there. We will take you there." Taking a final glance at Nick , we started walking upstairs. We came in front of another room. Pushing open the door, we entered." This room looks so girly." Ethan scrunched up his nose in disgust to which Nick let out a small chuckle. He was babbling about how bad the room looked until he saw the surprise and went absolutely mute. I gestured the maid to leave the room who closed the door beh
Nick's POV" Only a little left and I will be done." I said the same line for the third time." Nick , you have said the same thing three times in the past few hours." Just what I was waiting for! Sophia crossed her arms against her chest and stood in front of me. I massaged my temple with my hands." I know baby, I know. But the pressure is a lot these days. Just another hour baby." I kept looking at the laptop screen. She was silent for a few seconds." I do not interest you any more , isn't it ?" I nodded absent-mindedly before her words registered in my mind . Furrowing my eyebrows at her absurd question, I looked up at her. She was actually standing there with a hurt expression." Why this sudden irrelevant question Sophia? " I was wondering if she was on her period. She normally doesn't get emotional so easily." Irrelevant!" She muttered under her breath and shook her head.As she turned to leave the room, I
Sophia's POV " But Mom-" " No buts. You will handover your phone to me. " Nick lazily walked out of his study when I was busy glaring at Ethan. Evelyn stood by my side angry at her brother. " What happened? Why made both of my girls so upset?" Nick came up and kissed my forehead . " Your son happened. Evie called me saying how he fought with a guy. " I was really exasperated at this. He was seventeen for God's sake and still gets into fights " And what's the reason for the fight?" Nick looked at Ethan for explanation. " I didn't fight , Dad. I just scared him away." He said in an offended voice. I saw Nick checking the smile that was threatening to fall on his face while I wanted nothing more than to beat his ass up. Suddenly Evie decided to speak up. " Dad, do you know what Ethan did? He scared Peter away . He threatened him to stay away from me and now he would never talk to me. " She ended wi
Sophia's POV I slightly groaned when I felt the bright sunlight fall on me. I twisted and turned in my bed for a few more minutes before I was finally up. Bree , who was sitting just by the side of the bed, started barking and wagging her tail. I gently patted her hair. Today I had a day off and was planning on lazing around . Maybe call my idiot best friends over and watch some movies with tubs of chocolate chip ice cream. With happy thoughts swimming in my mind , I went to do my morning routine before going downstairs for breakfast . It was my day off so I woke up late and Dad had already left for office. "Good morning , Mom " I jogged off to my seat. "Good morning sweetie" , my mom smiled and set down a plate of breakfast for me. "I don't know if it's because I am too hungry or the pancakes are really so delicious but these taste amazing , mom." I
Nicholas's POV " Christina , I was busy " , I sighed. " Don't give me that shit , you were so busy that you couldn't call me for two days straight ? " She yelled. "Yes I was and I still am". I was the CEO for fuck's sake. Dad had handed me down the business when I was 28 and know he has retired but he is quite addicted to this place and thus has his own cabin. So he keeps coming atleast twice in a week and attends the important meetings . " It has been so long we spent time together . Nick , you have to take me out on a date , yes baby ? " , She demanded. I sighed . " Uh okay I'll let you know " "Bye baby , see you " "Bye " Huffing , I put down my phone. I have taken Christina on one or two dates in the past few months and now She thinks of herself as my girlfriend although I have never really asked her. She was a blonde with blue eyes
Joseph's POV I was going to my son , Nick's cabin when I saw Ethan smiling and speaking to a young woman who had her back facing me. Coming closer I heard the lady gently saying him how he would have got hurt for running like that . Then she offered to take him to his grandfather. I was touched at the random woman's concern for a kid whom she met right now. She looked a bit embarrassed to not know me . When she told me she had come to meet Mr. Jones , I recognized him. He was the marketing head and was quite efficient. I noticed that the girl looked quite similar to David and guessed her to be his daughter but refrained from asking anything. When Nick made an appearance I saw her checking him out which was nothing new to me. But she was sophisticated in her ways and did not drool like the other ones I have seen. I was indeed shocked when Ethan hugged her and she convinced him to realize his mistake and he even a
Nick's POV "Son , I have some great news for you", Dad barged into my cabin with a grinning face. " Go on " , I said looking back into the files. " You are getting married " , he said. I chuckled ."Nice one Dad " . I waited for him to say something but when he didn't I looked up. His face had no hint of humor. " You can't be serious !" "Oh I am son , you are getting married to Mr. David's daughter, Sophia . They have accepted my proposal." " Dad you know that marriage is just not my thing." " Well you can try . Besides she will be a nice mother to Ethan. Stop just thinking about yourself, think of the little child. " "How can you say that! You saw her once and you think that she will be a good mother to Ethan. She maybe something else under her facade for god's sake." I shouted in exasperation. "Don't raise your voice
