***Sophie wasn't the only one pissed with the sudden interruption; Alex was too, evident from the dangerous look in his eyes.He really wanted to sink the life out of this guy, but then again, Drew wasn't just the only family of his late wife; he was also the uncle of his kids, and they were fond of him too. Worse, he was Sophie's doctor.Sighing, Alex smiled softly at Sophie. "Are you done?" he asked.Turning to him, Sophie replied with a question, confused, "With what?""Eating. If you’re done eating, let me take you to bed," he suggested absentmindedly, standing up from his seat."Oh…" Sophie blushed, and he frowned again, rubbing his eyes.Ah, he just realized what he said, sighing, "That’s not what I meant," he quickly corrected, sighing repeatedly. "Just come," he said with an outstretched hand."Okay," Sophie replied, glaring at Drew, and while grabbing Alex's hand, still blushing like a kid... oh wait! She is one. She giggled like a schoolgirl."What’s so funny?" Alex asked h

***Alex pretended to be asleep, so Sophie could rest, though it took a while before she settled in. He couldn’t count the number of times he almost burst out laughing at her giggling while staring at his erection.If she had touched him immediately, he would have lost the last shred of control. This wasn’t his first time with a woman; hell, he couldn’t even count the number of women he had brought to his bed. But this was the first time he had almost lost control of himself.Megan, the woman he loved with all his heart, Natalie’s mother—although sex with her was pure bliss—it never made him lose control of himself like today.He stared at Sophie's sleeping face. Just the thought of kissing her made him horny. “Shit!” he wanted her, he desired her… There was no denying it. “This is bad,” he whispered to the empty room as his phone started ringing.He quickly reached for it, not want

***I slumped back to the dinner table and forced out a smile. Nat laughed, “I know... It's kind of bummer to watch him leave in this heavy situation, but get used to it,” she said to me.I stared at her for a while. “So, you’re cool with me and your father being…?”She laughed again, cutting me off. “Well, despite your denying it, I always knew something was going on. I mean, there have been other women, but no matter the time Papa spends with them in bed, they never try to control him or even curse at him. But you’re the only one who ever cursed and yelled at Papa to be alive,” she pointed out. “You’re not the little friend I used to know. I mean, look at you,” she said, gesturing with her hands. “Despite your age, you look, act, and think like a mature woman, and compared to all the women that have entered this place, I feel safer with you,” she finished with a smile.“Wow, it feels like I’m in a novel, and a confusing one at that,” I told her. “Imagine you screaming daggers at me

***Rick angrily climbed upstairs, muttering under his breath. "Seriously, who does she think she is to give me orders?" he questioned, shooting a glance at Sop. "Just because she manages to warm the boss's bed, she now thinks she's in charge. What nonsense," he cursed as he stepped into the corridor."Oh, Mr. Rick!" he heard his name and turned"Yes?" It was a maid. "Is there something you want?" he asked impatiently."Oh no, it's just... I heard some noise back in the East wing, and I wanted to inform Madam Natalie," she reported nervously."The East Wing? What were you doing there?" Rick asked her suspiciously. "No one is supposed to be in the East Wing," he glared at her, his tone filled with suspicion."I’m sorry, sir, but Miss Rust asked me to keep Sir Michael out of the sitting room, and I thought the East wing was the safest place for him to be. However, a few minutes ago, I heard a scattering sound, so I decided to go out and check, but I found you instead," the maid finishes

***I glared at Avanska who for some reason stepped backward, and then to Alex, who was too stunned to say anything, “You never thought of that, right? Then I guess you’re more stupid than I think.”“Ah! Stop … saying that, please.” He said, no, more like begged.“Why?” I asked with my hands folded across my breast. “You’re stupid.” I repeated, and he signed hard.Honestly, I half expected him to hit me for looking down on him but he wasn’t doing anything, if at all, he looked like someone about to cry… “yeah right.” I thought to myself. “well, I guess, I mean something to him now.’****Alex covered his face with his hand, not because he was ashamed of been called stupid, but because he was mad. This was the first time someone was looking him in the eyes and cursing him, not even his late  wives or kids could do so.He stared
