A Deal With Mr. Baron Seventy: Jealous.
“Oh my God, dad?!” Amelia walked into Benedict’s ward and Sofia arose from the edge of the bed with an arch between her brows, she had never a smile as wide as the one that crept to his lips. “Dad?” She somehow managed to mutter beneath her breath and Amelia made her way to Benedict’s side. With everything he had mentioned about his distanced daughter, Sofia was far fetched with how she imagined Amelia to be.With a slighter darker hair and a greasy chocolate skin, those weren’t even her prominent features. Amelia was pregnant, heavily pregnant like her water was minutes from breaking but she was still flexible in giving her dad a hug. “It’s really you!” You could hear the doubt evident in his cracked voice as if Benedict was between thinking this was a dream or a hallucination. Sofia, as she stood there was the one who had million questions. For one, where exactly had Amelia been because it had been years since she was estranged, so did Benedict say.And why was he so welcoming, so
A Deal With Mr. Baron Seventy-One: We Have Time.
Sofia tidied her arms around Benedict’s and as she sat upon her bed, a million thoughts flashed behind her seemingly void eyes. “She’ll be okay” Benedict had said for the nth time, not that it did much. Sofia would just dart her eyes for a second and then nod.It didn’t calm her racing heart nor the thoughts in her head. She felt so strongly about Amelia before but now, all she wanted to know was that both her and the baby were okay. Sofia knew one too many things about having one even through technically, she never did. But deep down, it was something she wanted, especially with Oscar.Oh Oscar, she thought to herself.How furious he would be when he finds out about what she had done. But then again how would she have the slightest idea that coincidence could be so ruthless, drawing together Amelia and Jeremy in an impossible way.Surely now, he wouldn’t want to sign as an investor to Oscar’s company. And the guilt of knowing she might have ruined everything weighed down upon Sofia’
A Deal With Mr. Baron Seventy-Two: Heavy Hearts.
You know that feeling when you zone out of reality, when the pain seems so unbearable that you just want out, you’re desperately hoping that this is some nightmare because even though you’ve pinched yourself a thousand times, you’re just so afraid to believe that it actually happened.That was Sofia Winters in that very moment as she sat on the hospital waiting room chair, eyes set in a distance but on no particular object and so many thoughts flooding behind her eyes. A tear was on the brink of falling down her cheeks and her throat was the most sore she ever had it.It had been just an hour but it felt as though she already had been through the five stages of grief, from screaming in the center of the hospital halls, to pacing across each post and corner, to fidgeting and the near nervous breakdown, to the river of tears that she exhausted from her eyes to the weight of the world she felt clinching around her heart. She thought she was having a heart attack.All while it was just h
A Deal With Mr. Baron Seventy-Three: Don’t Lie To Me.
Oscar was the first to walk in through the door. Immediately he had brought the car to a halt, he didn’t even waste a second before carrying on, leaving Sofia a few steps behind. She did halt for a moment, not in the realization but now the assurance that something was wrong.She hated being on the edge just as much as she repulsed being left in the dark so this was a difficult moment for her. She just wished Oscar would tell her what was wrong, to finally open up to her. I mean it could not be that bad, she muttered to herself.But then again, her fate would be quite merciless.She took in a deep breath as she mounted the penultimate step of the front porch and she decided there wasn’t really much she could do but trust him. She told herself that she was going to wait until he was ready.“Hey!” The door immediately opened to both Theresa and Cynthia and their faces were crooked with concern. “What took you so long?” One asked. “We were expecting you guys earlier” The other chipped i

“Sofia” He muttered, turning to the side for a little while and it was the most defeated that Sofia had ever seen Oscar’s eyes. He desperately tried to hide them from me but she was quick, catching a glimpse of how burdened they were with the secrets he held back from her. And each moment that passed that she was in the dark, her heart broke, little by little. “Oscar?” She called, after the whole speech urging him to trust her but all he did was fall back into his chair.“Just…Sofia, just let it go” He said. “No” Sofia immediately threw herself forward as she shook her head. “I’m not letting it go. Quite frankly, I can’t let it go. I made a vow—““Enough with the vows!” He raised his voice it was like a rumble of thunder of her head. Sofia fell quiet faster than light, pushing the hardest lump down her throat and when their eyes met, hers grew moist.“Enough with the vows?” She softly echoed and this was her greatest fear. “Sofia…” “Enough with the vows?” By the sound of her voice,

Morning came slower than a wounded snail.But it was no surprise as Sofia barely even closed her eyes to sleep. The whole night she’d spent lying on her back with her eyes fixated to the ceiling. She’d cried until no more tears departed from her eyes and now, she laid on her side, watching the sun rise from the windows.She knew when Oscar had gotten up and now, she could hear the whish-whoosh sounds from the shower, which made her heart sink. How could he feel so comfortable going back to work so soon when their worlds only just recently imploded on them.“It’s bad” His words kept echoing back to her over the course of the night. “The doctor said it’s bad.” But how bad? Of course she comforted him but a million thoughts and questions still roamed freely in her head.How bad?How long—two of the most terrifying ones. After everything, Sofia had been cautious to ask the questions, partly for Oscar and also because her heart could only take so much. Lying there, her arms folded across h

“Oscar.” Let it be known that hours had passed now since Sofia had heard the words she feared the most. The thing was she didn’t even realize she feared them until it came like a slap in her face. And on top of the many questions she already had were more.“I declined the clinical trial” Oscar had informed her and her lips uncontrollably fell apart as she stared at him. His mind was made up and she could see the firmness in his eyes, in this decision he had come to by himself—without even telling her after agreeing to go through this together. She was mute, stung by both betrayal and shock, and anger. “Oscar!” It just didn’t make any sense. She was aware of a clinical trial that his father, Ronald did and he confessed to how the medicine was a lot helpful to him even though he already had a prognosis. The thing was with the damage of the condition and Ronald’s age, surgery was never an option.His best bet was the clinical trial but it could only do so much. Being in its early expe
A Deal With Mr. Baron Seventy-Seven: Breathe Again.
The winds rustled through the trees, tricking up Sofia’s nose as she held her hands a cup of coffee. Her eyes were bright and there was a smile across her face, he was there.Theodore.And in that moment, she recalled the very first day they spent here, that she was battling with the first chapter of her book and he told her the story of the Salem witches while at it. By now, she wasn’t still sure she believed that story but it had truly been a long time since then.And a lot had happened, if only she knew then half the things that were going to go down, including kissing Theo and the excruciating love triangle but most of all, that she would marry the man of her dreams, Oscar. And Theo and herself would be back as the best of friends. Then in about two years, they’d be sitting on these very chairs, recounting almost everything they whilst sharing laughs. It would be a normal day but it wasn’t. No matter how much she wished it was, there was always that dawning thought of Oscar and
