Sophia and Jayden reconvened in McLean's Company where Cynthia had been waiting for them. She wasn't really bored cos she made herself comfortable just as Sophia instructed before she left for the meeting. Sophia told her to send for anything she wanted to eat or drink and also watch any movies of her choice with the company's subscription. So, when the duo came back, Cynthia realized that indeed she had lost track of time because of the so much fun she was having."Hi, I can see that you are enjoying yourself," Jayden said after they all sat down in Sophia's office."I can't even lie, I was having a lot of fun before you both interrupted it," Cynthia whined and pouted."So you want me not to come back to my office again?" Sophia asked in a playful tone."Gosh, please don't put words into my mouth. That's not what I said. How did the meeting go by the way?" Cynthia inquired still eating her snacks."It went well I guess," Sophia replied."What's up? Why is your face like that?" Cynthi

Alex has been wheeled into an emergency ward. After Sophia's scream, almost all the occupants of the house rushed to the direction the noise came from immediately. They helped her lift him up and now, they were all at the hospital.Everyone was there at the hospital– Mr. Christopher Columbus who was worried sick about his beloved son. Jayden and Cynthia who rushed into the hospital a few minutes ago. And Sophia who was still sobbing silently. Cynthia and Jayden had tried their best to stop her from crying but to no avail. Mr. Chris already instructed the servants who rushed him to the hospital to go back home and rest. He promised to fill them in on the latest development later.Cynthia sat beside Sophia while Jayden sat at the other side of hers making Sophia to be sitting in between them. She has been impulsively looking at the door in which they wheeled Alex to know if the doctor will walk out any minute."What exactly happened Sophia? We saw him earlier today in his office and he

Sophia, Jayden, and Cynthia were confused about what to do next. Alex kept his unwavering focus on them. They couldn't make out his thoughts, to know if they should leave or start walking deeper into the room. "Are you guys going to stand there all day?" Alex asked with his focus now solely on Sophia. He knows that she was the only one who witnessed it when he collapsed so she must be more shaken up than the others.After Alex made the statement, they took a sigh of relief. They were grateful that he put them out of their confused state. They made their way to the cushion facing Alex's bed. He was sitting down on his bed, so when they all sat down, they were sitting directly opposite him.When they all sat down with Sophia in the middle, they started behaving awkwardly again. In their minds, they don't want to say anything that might trigger his health just like his father earlier advised.Alex cleared his throat, he arched an eyebrow signaling them to say something. He saw the skept

Sophia and Alex had already finished with their meal. Sophia sent for a servant who came and took out the empty plates. She tucked in Alex in bed so that he would retire for the night. She was about to leave when Alex suddenly stopped her by grabbing one of her hands."Stay with me please," Alex said, looking at Sophia.Sophia was in a bit of a dilemma. She knows that he has not completely forgiven them for what they did, so she doesn't want to overstep her boundaries. She was even thinking of leaving with Jayden and Cynthia who were still downstairs waiting for her to come and update them."Um… Fine. I will stay with you until you fall asleep and then I can leave." Sophia answered sitting down beside him on the bed. Alex lay on his side to be able to get a clearer view of her."I want you to lay with me until morning– I just need someone to cuddle with," Alex explained looking at her expectantly."Things are no longer the same Alex. If you asked this of me a few days ago, I would hav

Sophia and Alex were having breakfast in Alex's room when a knock sounded on the door. Alex invited the person in and Cynthia put her head inside the room first to make sure that a certain person was not in the room before making her way fully into the room. She took a deep sigh of relief because she didn't even want to run into Jayden until she left the house. She guessed that he may probably still be asleep, which she doesn't mind at the moment.Cynthia just wanted to check up on Alex and quickly disappeared to her apartment. She was really grateful to Alex for allowing her to keep the apartment in which she stayed when the whole interrogation process was going on. Well, her joy will be complete when her grandma comes back next month from her 3-month surgery trip. She was outside the country with a caregiver who was taking good care of her. She spoke to her grandma once in a while and she was content that one good thing came out of doing the Kingston family's bidding– well, another
