“Sofia.”His voice drew her attention towards him and when she turned to face his earnest gaze, she expected him to at least be dressed but rather Oscar arched his brows and held the pregnancy test in his hands. “What is this?” He asked. What it look like?Even she couldn’t fathom the tension-filled moment as words failed her. “Oscar—“ She rather called but he shook his head. “Why did you hide this from me?” He let out a deep exhale from his lips as he tried to drown his racing thoughts. “Are you—““Oscar.”“Are you pregnant, Sof?” He asked the obvious question and her cheeks grew inflamed with embarrassment. “I don’t know Oscar. The truth is i’ve not been feeling well and i’ve not been feeling myself and i just wanted to rule it out. I don’t know” She walked towards him to hold his hands.“The reason i didn’t tell you yet was i didn’t want to make a fuss out of what was not. And if you heard my voicemail, i assumed you’d come back home and then i’d have known the results but—““You
A Deal With Mr. Baron Forty-Six: Back From The Dead.
Emma reached to spike the volume of the radio up as she dashed across the highway. The winds blew dry the tears that dropped from her eyes, swaying her hair from side to side as well. She sobbed to the Pink Floyd song playing on the stereo and shaking her head, Emma reminisced on the past few months with Damien and how she was always never enough.She was near over her first trimester and with his child inhabiting inside of her, she still didn’t know what to do nor where she was going. For a moment, she just wanted out. And this rented car was to take her back to her hometown on the other side of Salem.Just then, her phone rang on the dashboard and it was her mother.Emma had to clear her hoarse throat so she could be audible as she slid across the screen, one eye on the phone and the other on the road. The express was barely busy but there was a building traffic in the distance.“Hello” There was a crack in Emma’s voice as she sniffled.“Are you close?” Her mother anticipated her r
A Deal With Mr. Baron Forty-Seven: Watch Your Tone, Francesca.
The silence throughout the entire house was deafening.But luckily for Sofia, Annie had driven back to the villa with the rest of the Baron family and now, they both were slouched in the corner of room. Sofia stared into the distance with her arms folded, a million thoughts gushing behind her eyes.The last she’d seen Oscar was when he furiously alighted from the car and charged towards his office in the house. It was a dreadful ride with a brooding tension that could be cut with a knife. And ever since Francesca and Aaron had announced the news, everyone was whirling in silence. Not many words were said even though they all knew what it meant.It meant that it was over.There was no point anymore and as selfish as it sounded, Aaron had won. Oscar’s anger was justified but Sofia’s fate was still unknown. “I shouldn’t be out here” She said to Annie who then turned around to her. They were the only ones left downstairs, just opposite the room Oscar was in. “I should meet him”“It’s a t
A Deal With Mr. Baron Forty-Eight: What Happened Last Night.
Sofia forced her eyes open to the intensity of the sun beating in through the windows and spearing her temples. Her eyelids were heavy as she struggled to sit up. She was in a bed that she didn’t even remember entering. Her memory was all foggy and her head was like forks were bashing into each other.It was a hungover headache and she didn’t even remembering drinking so much. The last thing she recalled was walking away from Oscar and finding her way out the front doors. A glimpse of Annie’s face flashed in her migraine-troubled head and she gasped softly. There was concern in her eyes and a voice that called back to her.“Where are you going, Sofia?” She asked.The next second, she was purged of the memory and even she couldn’t answer that question now—where she went. All she knew was that finally, it wasn’t night anymore. It was a fresh day and she was willing to put everything behind her, but only after she could just find out where she was. She reached for her phone on the coun
A Deal With Mr. Baron Forty-Nine: Too Much Evidence.
"How did i get here Theodore?” Sofia squared him in his eyes and he ran his hands through his thick, moist hair. “Can we just sit and talk like reasonable adults?” He scoffed underneath his breath but all she did was brush into his shoulders and reached around for whatever belonged to her.“I should go” Sofia was agitated, as if staring at the half nude bod of her husband’s brother wasn’t bad enough, her mind also reminisced about the taste of his lips. This was over and it was never happening again—they both made that abundantly clear the last time they spoke.And they agreed to actively avoid each other, never to speak again. As she reached for her things, she decided to keep to that promise. “Can we just talk, Sofia?” He reached to hold her but she slipped out of his grasp.“You know what nevermind” Out of breath, she heaved from her lips and her hair was a disaster on top of her head. Bags were livid beneath her eyes and her skin was a washed crimson color. She could’ve just had a
A Deal With Mr. Baron Fifty: Damage Control.
“Something’s happened, Annie.”Sofia was out of breath as she charged through the guest room doors to see Annie was still around. The latter turned back to her in surprise before bending over to wipe her face with a towel. “Why are you even still around—you know what nevermind” Sofia shook her head.“It’s about Francesca” She added and Annie couldn’t resist the urge to roll her eyes to the back. “Please not again” She scoffed beneath her breath before they both made their way into the bedroom. “I’m not kidding, Annie. She knows about Theodore and I” Sofia continued and those words were more than enough to halt An in her steps.There was a look of horror in her eyes when she turned back. “What?”“It’s a long story but i met her this morning in the alleyway and she looked me dead in the eyes and told me she knew something that could absolutely wreck me. Before you ask, she wasn’t bluffing” I lowered my voice the second i heard footsteps behind the door and Annie drew close.“What?”“I—i
A Deal With Mr. Baron Fifty-One: Dimitri Is Awake.
“Hello Diablo!” Francesca’s voice whispered as she pushed open the door. She appeared to be on a phone call and even if Annie and Sofia couldn’t see her, they made do with the sound of her approaching footsteps. The moment the handle of the door moved, Annie had swiftly roped Sofia underneath the table and now they were backed into the corner, trying their best not to make any sound. Annie had her hands across her lips and Sofia’s chin was tucked into her knees. They both looked at each other with a frantic expression knowing Francesca could never see them.Otherwise they’ll be doomed.The sound of her voice was off like she was nervous which was a new look on Francesca and she was low and very careful not to be heard. “I said i’ll get your money to you!” She gritted through her teeth next. “Just give time—give me tomorrow. I’ll have total control and fifty thousand dollars would mean nothing” She was agitated, pacing around the room which only meant Sofia and Annie had to be extra
A Deal With Mr. Baron Fifty-Two: The Truth Can Never Come Out.
"I've never seen you this excited for a Baron party."Annie entered from the door into the room and Sofia darted a look through the mirror back at her. She was dressed in a sheer burgundy gown that Oscar had bought for her back in Italy. If there was anything that the Barons were known for, it was how to throw a party.And tonight was officially the night that Aaron would take over the company. He would publicly announced as CEO and all the shares and stakes would be in his name. It was the moment everyone was waiting for and a time that could never be short of drama.Sofia hadn’t seen Oscar that night neither had she seen Theo but at least Annie checked in from time to time, especially with the information they both had that could very much change everything. “You look fantastic” She complimented, taking a seat by the edge of the bed and Sofia had a nervous expression across her face as she turned around. It was obvious the confidence was all a veneer for Annie herself who was dress
