Chapter 29.“ I can't even leave the country for twenty-four hours! Shit will start hitting the fan huhn?” Chris barked at Liam who just finished explaining what is currently happening to him.After the night with Sophie, he got a call a few hours later to seal the deal he had been after for a very long time. He never wanted to leave her but the deal was very important for the future of his company and business. Feeling very romantic, he wrote down a note for her telling her how much special she was to him and why he was leaving so early and at the end of the note, his international phone number. He doesn't want to disturb her so he got ready quietly and left the house around seven in the morning so he could catch up with his schedule.His driver was already waiting for him to take him to the airport where his luxurious private jet was already waiting for him. Before he boarded the plane, he asked Alex to send fifty thousand dollars to Sophie to take care of herself because he may no

Chapter 31.“ I'm sorry” that was the first sentence he uttered to her. He looked so different from the Chris she was used to. He looked like the male version of her, stressed and tired with dark circles adorning his eyes.His heart bleeds seeing her like that, looking so sad and sullen. Her always bright green eyes looked so dull and sullen. Liam excused himself away from the duo muttering something about checking on his baby's mother.“ Why are you sorry? Our deal was just about sex and money. Oh, the part where you said there won't be any crazy wife on my neck? I guess that's fine” she mumbled sarcastically turning away from him.He moved closer to her and grabbed her wrist gently. She could feel his scent intoxicating her, she had to raise her head a little to stop her from grabbing him and sniffing him like a wolf in heat.“ I know I'm the last person you want to have a conversation with right now but can you please give me a chance? To explain everything?” He whispered but she

Chapter 33.Previously... “ I... Hmmm, my brother got into a little bit of an accident.” She said, her mood dampened and her blush disappeared. She suddenly felt like going back to the hospital.“ ohh I'm sorry. Is he okay now?” he asked concern evident on his face.“ He is still unconscious but the doctors said he is just sleeping,” She said trying to control the panic in her but Chris could hear it. He stated rubbing circles on her back as a form of little comfort he can offer at that moment. She smiled at the contact, maybe he cares more than she thought.“ If you don't mind, can I pay a visit?” He asked and she nodded yes. He straightened his rumpled shirt and adjust his tie before opening the door for both of them. She used her hand to brush a few strands of hair that escaped her messy bun during their kiss earlier.“ What kind of accident was it?” he suddenly asked grabbing her hands on their way out of the parking lot. He suddenly remembered what Liam told him before he approa

Chapter 35.A few weeks later, It was a sunny morning as Sophie toss and turn in her new bed staring at the pristine white ceiling. It felt so better than the one in her dorm. The soft material of the duvet cover made her smile in her sleep. Even as she opened one eye to look around her surroundings, she felt as if she was in a dream. How much her life changed in the past couple of months somehow seems unreal and looked like something that came out of a fairy tale.She and Kayla had moved into a new apartment courtesy of Chris. He had gotten a bigger and more luxurious one but Sophie rejected it because she felt very uncomfortable about it. So he decided to surprise her with another one that he knew she wouldn't be able to refuse. Why would she? Even though the apartment was off campus, it was very close to the school. It was a three-bedroom apartment that Sophie, Kayla, and Noah shared since Sophie refused to let her brother go back to the danger zone. Even though the apartment was

Chapter 37.Liam, Kayla, Max, Noah, and an unfamiliar lady sang the birthday song to her while she stood rooted at the door, unable to say a word. They were all dressed up and all of them were wearing paper cones. The house was decorated, no wonder Kayla wanted her out at all costs. It was to pull such a stunt on her successfully.She was not expecting anyone to remember her birthday, she doesn't ever remember and she stopped celebrating them ever since her mother died. Sometimes Noah gets a cupcake for her to remind her and sometimes Kayla and Max always end up reminding her by making her food or getting a cake for her and then celebrating with her all day.Knowing she would forget it this year again, Kayla had informed Chris earlier on and warned him not to mention anything about her birthday or even ask Sophie when her birthday was. He had agreed and they started planning to throw a surprise party for Sophie. They dropped hints for her but she still couldn't catch on, Kayla wouldn
