Sophia's POV.Everyone started running here and there. Martha stood in front of my belly as a protector that no one accidentally hit me while running like a maniac."Let's go, Sophia.", She said, quickly taking me toward the lift.The sound of growling sound of the wolf was coming closer. This sound, this sound reminded me of something which I didn't want to remember. That was when my eyes landed on a toddler, crying and looking for her mother or whoever was with her."Martha, wait.", I said, quickly walking toward that toddler.That was when I was a giant wolf with red fur, who was sniffing around, and after a while, its yellow eyes landed on me. Martha quickly carried that toddler in her arms and grabbed my wrist to take me as fast as she could from there.By I felt like my body had gone numb. It reminded me of the attack that happened to Oliver a long ago. And that wolf was not alone; he was in the group. He growled at me before jumping on me or us; I wasn't sure."Marthhhaaa," I
Brandon’s POV.The moment I switched on my phone after my flight landed, I received a message from dad about the attack on society. And the worst news was Sophia wasn’t inside, just like I had said to her.Damn it.It meant those dogs were keeping track of each and every activity of mine. And there, I thought that they were not attacking me or at my place, yet then they might have dropped the idea of harming Sophia to get their hands on his family members.Now, FOUR of his brothers and 27 loyal hunters of his father were dead. Whoever was planning this was killing each child of Ethan by their age. The eldest died first, then the second eldest, and so on. The second youngest was Oliver and then Sophia.I couldn’t help but wonder how weak the strategies of Ethan were until now.I meant he wasn’t able to kill one single opponent of his enemies.Was he being serious?Was he really going to do a favor to dad by killing their enemies?Hell, I doubt that he could even save his children.And
Brandon’s POV.I didn’t know how long I cried, holding my baby girl, until a familiar hand touched my shoulder.“Daddd…” I cried, showing the little human in my hand who was sleeping. Ar first, he looked at me in confusion, maybe trying to understand whether I was crying out of joy or…., but soon he realized the situation, and tears started brimming in his eyes.‘All I want him or her to be healthy and strong. Nothing more than that. I couldn’t wait to hear grandpa from her or his broken voice.’‘Damn, this is the best news I have heard after so many years. Thank you so much, sweetheart. Thank you for making me, grandpa. Thank you. Thank you so much.’Dad took our Princess in his hand this time and started crying. After all, even he had waited for her to meet her.While Bruce kept looking between dad and me and then baby, he might not be able to understand this pain personally, but this was the second time he was seeing me this broken. After all, this was the second time I had lost my
Brandon’s POV.“Are you going to take years to find a newborn baby with matching details?” I asked Bruce over the call, getting irritated with each passing of time.“O Hello! You have asked to get a baby, not a matching nail polish which I get any moment.”, he snapped.“Even dad and I are onto this. Hopefully, we find such a baby soon.”, I added, to let him know that even we hadn’t found anything.“And there I had heard that you married her just to keep her safe.”“And that was I doing.”“Keep lying that to yourself. Bye, I will talk about it later.”, Saying this, he disconnected the call.I used the money to hide all the evidence that Sophia’s baby died before she was brought to the hospital. I didn’t care; I was throwing money like water. All I knew was that I couldn’t let anything happen to Sophia.*After five hours more!!“One of the owners of Orphanage found a baby matching just like we want.”, Dad said on the conference call to both Bruce and me. “She is a day old, and her par
Sophia’s POV.I lazily opened my eyes and shut them quickly because of the light. I blinked my eyes a couple of times, adjusting my eyes as per the light, and looked around only to find Brandon, Dad, and Martha playing with the baby.Baby?I touched my baby bump and realized that the baby they were holding was my baby. I recalled how the hell I reached this position, and after a while, I remembered the memories of the festivals in the society, werewolves attack, dad, killing that werewolf, then leaving from there in a cab, and then the blood.Shit!Thank god my baby was fine, or I would have blamed myself all my life for that.“Brandon, dad.”, I whispered in a low tone. They looked at me. “Baby.”, I whispered.Martha helped me sit on the bed. I didn’t realize that baby was born through C-section until I felt a slight pain in the lower part. And Brandon came closer to me to give my baby in my arms, and that was when I saw her.She wore a pink shirt with a diaper, and her eyes were ope
Sophia’s POV.After a while, the doctor walked in and checked my status. Even though AC was on in my room, I was sweating badly, and the pain was doing no good. The doctor checked my blood pressure and shook his head.“Did she again take any stress?”, He asked dad, to which he reluctantly agreed. “Keep try to her away from all this, or you will be responsible for anything that happens next.”“Did you eat something, Mrs. Haysbert?”, The doctor asked, on which I shook my head. “Please, something after that, only you can have your medicine, and I will suggest you not to take so much stress; it’s not good for you.”, he said, looking at me and then turning his head to look at dad again. “I don’t the complete matter, Mr. Haysbert. I will just suggest that you either drop that topic or hide it or do anything else, just not raise it again and again. The baby died… I mean, almost died because of it.”“I will try my best.”, Dad said, nodding his head, and just after a few seconds, Martha enter
Sophia’s POV.When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found Brandon sleeping peacefully, wrapping his hand around Caroline. I checked the time and realized that he was getting late for the office, but then he couldn’t sleep properly last night because of Caroline. At the interval of every two or three hours, she used to wake up and start crying. And Brandon being an amazing dad, asked me to sleep and handled her, from checking her diapers to feeding her milk.I had already filled the breast pump, so she didn’t throw a tantrum, realizing that it was my milk.I carefully leaned toward her and kissed her head, and then looked at Brandon closely. A small smile appeared on my face automatically, seeing him so closely.Stop Sophia!! Don’t forget that this is a contract marriage.Just 11.5 months, and then our path would separate. So, just stop it!!All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, catching me red-handed.‘Holy shit! Now, he would give me a lecture again.’ I thought, but he didn’t; in
Sophia’s POV . “Sophia.” he smiled widely and came near me, looking at Caroline. “Is she your daughter?” “Yes!!” I nodded with a smile. “Pre-mature delivery?” he asked, to which I nodded my head. “She is beautiful but…”, He complimented and then looked at me. “.... definitely doesn’t look like your daughter. Because neither did she take on you or your boyfriend, aka husband.” I narrowed my eyes at his choice of words, and then he started grinning, “I was just joking.” “I hate this type of ridiculous joke. Moreover, she is my daughter whether she looks like me or not. And he is my husband, not my boyfriend.” “You mean your boyfriend disappeared and never returned back until now?” “Yeah!” I nodded my head. “But my daughter is lucky to have him, and I can guarantee that she won’t have got this much love from her real father that she is receiving from Brandon. All I know is that blood may be thicker than water, but love is thicker than anything.” “I second that.” he smiled. “I’m s
