Sophia sighed as she picked up her phone, she threw herself on the sofa and turned the screen of her phone on. Multiple thoughts ran through her mind as she unlocked it and aimlessly scrolled through.She thought about all that Brad told her. She wouldn't doubt the fact that she desperately wants to go on livestream. Just being online gives her so much joy, especially after he has gotten so many supporters over the months.Would she really go offline for so long because of Ned? Would Ned be able to find her in Russia? Wasn't she saved in Russia?Different thoughts whirled in her in some sort of crazy confusion.She couldn't stay away like this forever. For how long was she going to hide? Suddenly, she found herself scrolling through the applications on her phone with a purpose. She knew what she needed to do and her fingers did her bidding.As she positioned the phone on her phone holder, her body tingled with excitement and her heart felt like it would burst with excitement. She mis
Sophia's whole being froze and her heart slammed against her chest, dread filling her, as her eyes took in that comment again. No other comments came after it. It was almost as if the universe wanted her to see the comment, read it over and over again, and fully understand it.Her hands shook and her grin was unstable as she shakily waved at the screen. "Okay guys, I just wanted to say hi and to let you know I still think about you guys all the time," she rushed out and her jittery nerves prompted her index finger to tap on the icon that ended the Livestream even before she intended to.With trembling hands, she switched off her phone and threw it on the sofa farthest from her. Maybe she should have remained low-key after all.Only one person, Sophia thought with dread, only one person called her beauty.Her heartbeat fastened. How? Her body trembled as she sat there, pondering on the intensity of what this might mean and the troubles it might bring weighed down on her heavily. For hi
Ned lazily swivelled in the swivel chair, a pen lodged between his teeth. He seemed relaxed as he mused on who his next victim would be or rather…his next client. Why wouldn't he be relaxed? The company was doing well and with the latest reveal of Vincenzo's father, Fernandez; Ned believed that, with Fernandez's influence and power, the company would soon start to do even better. He smirked to himself, another plus for him to relax was that she was just within the reach of his fingers. He just had to dig a little more and he'd find her.Just then, a knock sounded on his door and interrupted his thoughts. "Yes?" There was a muffled response that he suspected was from his assistant then with a slight frown, he summoned him in. "Come in."Ned gazed at his assistant standing before him, impatient to hear why he was there, he wondered why the man had come."Sir, a man has demanded to see you." Ned arched a brow. He always knew in advance if he was receiving visitors, clients called ahead,
Sophia groaned and pressed a pillow to her ear as she turned away from the ringing sound.A soft sigh escaped her lips when the ringing stopped and her hands that tightly pressed the pillow to her ear relaxed. A few seconds later, her muscles tensed and she quickly pressed the pillow to her ear when the ringing abruptly started all over again.First, she groggily wondered what the sound was, then she wondered why it wouldn't stop. She had finally been able to stop panicking and slept off while thinking about the commenter on her livestream, now her hard-earned sleep was being disrupted.She finally gave in when the ringing refused to stop. Her brows were deeply furrowed and her eyes remained closed as she turned her head to the direction where the ringing sound was coming from. She felt for the phone on the bed with her hands. Her fingers curled around it when she found it. Her mind was a cloud of fog as she fumbled with her phone for a while before picking up the call."Finally! Good
"Good morning, boss," there were greetings from all directions as Brad marched through the reception area to the elevator.He briefly waved at them, his eyes trained on his destination.Brad preps himself for the day's work as the elevator takes him up to the floor where his office is.He had barely settled in when a soft knock sounded on his door. "Come in," he hollered out without looking up from the files he was studying."Good morning, sir," Ciana greeted."Morning," he briefly looked up, absentmindedly taking in her crisply ironed office wear.Having Brad's indifferent gaze on her made Ciana fidgety for a while but she soon got her whims around her."There's a meeting scheduled for 1:00 PM. It's your first meeting for the day." Brad nodded then he reclined in his chair and listened to her as she continued to fill him in about his work schedule for the day."Also, there's the document containing the details of the trainees who made it to the final round of the training. The HR a
The doctor settled in his seat and instinctively motioned for Sophia to do the same, "Please, seat." Sophia sat in the doctor's office, her eyes took in the stark interior of the room. She had been in the white a number of times, yet, it never failed to look foreign to her."So about your brother," the doctor's voice drew Sophia's attention back to his face. The doctor clasped his palms together and placed it on his desk. "As I've said, he was moved to a VIP room but the reason we called you here is that-" he broke off, "I'm sure you've heard the announcement about the mini branch that is now in New York and about the patients that will be moved there, right?"Sophia shook her head. "Yes, I have."The doctor nodded, then his expression turned somber, "I'm afraid you and your brother won't be able to return to New York when the rest leave."Sophia's heart leaped in joy at the news but she still kept her fingers crossed. "Why is that?""Your brother was diagnosed with some underlying h
Brad got off work quite early as he had to meet with Ned. Just as he prepared to leave his office, he got a call from Tony. "Hello man." "Good day, I called to tell you about the latest developments. Have you got some time?" "Yeah," he murmured, then he took his seat and calmly listened to what Tony had to report. "I've selected three doctors that will take over at the new mini branch for a start. The branch will fully open tomorrow and that's when the doctor's will also be coming in. The nurse's, and other employees have carefully been selected too. I assure you that I have gotten everything ready, even some of the equipment we ordered for has arrived and others are due to be here by tomorrow or the next. I have been working on stabling the hospital and making sure everything is alright but I was still wondering if you would like to come in and oversee how it is all going and if the way things are is to your liking. Perhaps, you could come down today since just a few people have r
Ned squinted at the figure coming toward them. Then he suddenly recognized both of them. The taller man was the man who had come to relay the man's message yesterday while the shorter man…his thoughts trailed off as he cursed under his breath."Godammit!" He muttered under his breath thinking that he should have known better than to give the job to him.Nick pushed the man forward and kept his hold on his shoulder steady. Brad clasped his hands together in front of his body. "Now, are you trying to say you don't know who this guy is?"Ned swallowed, avoiding the gaze of the young man, "No.""He doesn't work for you?""No," his responses were becoming sharper."So every action of this guy is purely his own thinking?""Dammit! How am I supposed to know all of these when I don't even know the boy?!"Brad slapped the boy on his shoulder, "Come on, boy. Speak.""He paid me to stalk her until I find her location," the boy stammered, "He gave me a picture too. He said the job was top secre
