“This won’t do, Commander. We have to get rid of them.”Vox said after they went inside Ellen’s office. Ellen sits on his chair in front of his table and sigh heavily. He can see that Vox is anxious about Sophie’s parents knowing Ellen’s true identity.“Can you stop walking back and forth, I’m dizzy just by looking at you.” Ellen said as he rests his back on his chair.“I’m also anxious about this situation.” He said after he sits up again. “Part of me wanted to get rid of them but if I do that, Sophie wouldn’t forgive me.”“We had this huge fight because of her family recently and I learned that even if she treats them like this, she can’t still let go of the bond she has with her family.”Vox gritted his teeth, “But commander, you told me that you wouldn’t let any humans manipulate and blackmail you again.”“I did,”“Then why are you just letting it go?! I can see their true intentions commander! I know they won’t settle around now that they know who you truly are!”“That family is
One week after the incident of revealing Ellen’s identity, Ellen now is back from office. These past few days there’s no movements from the Alexiou’s except that same day when they knew who he really was.Ellen discovered that their system had been breached and someone was hacking into it. Classified data regarding his companies and important contracts hadn't been stolen; only information about him had been compromised.Ellen knew it was the Alexiou who did it, but he let it go, he knew that the chairman wanted to confirm if what she heard is really true. Despite his suspicions, Ellen decided not to confront the Alexiou family directly about the breach.He expects that one of these days, the chairman would make a move but it’s been a week and there’s no action from their end. Ellen thought they must have planning something big this time and he couldn’t wait.And if they really made a move, Ellen is already prepared. He is one step ahead from them and wouldn’t let himself be manipulate
Ellen went home on time, when he opens the door, he was greeted by his lovely wife in a long cute maternity dress.“Welcome home, my love!” Sophie excitedly said. Ellen chuckles and embrace her.Ellen kneels and kisses Sophie’s belly, “How’s my little Sen? You didn’t trouble mommy when I’m not around?” Ellen asked with a smile. Ellen looks up and stare at his wife, smiling back at him.“Let’s have dinner together,” Sophie said with a smile.Sophie pulls him towards the dining table and proudly presents the dishes on the table. Sophie pulls the chair for Ellen to sit, he hesitated but eventually sat down.Sophie smiled and sat across from Ellen, “Look I cook all our favorite!” Sophie said excitedly.“What’s the occasion?” Ellen asked and started eating, “Uhm! This taste delicious love!”Ellen devoured the meal like it was his last and Sophie couldn’t help but be giddy as he watched Ellen’s reaction to her food.“I just wanted to cook for you for once before I give birth to Sen,” Sophie
It’s been two days since the office incident with the chairman. Ellen is currently visiting their house because Sophie’s family keeps pestering her on inviting Ellen over to chat.Sophie couldn’t help but be excited because finally her long time wish that they accept Ellen is finally coming true. Their relationship is slowly improving but deep inside Ellen is disgusted by how he was treated now by the Alexiou.Right now, Ellen and Sophie are walking to the Alexiou main house towards the garden to enjoy the imported rare tea that Daniel, Lily’s husband, got from his business partner overseas.“Ah! My daughter and son!” Selena greeted as she stands up to approach Ellen and Sophie.Ellen smile as if it didn’t make Selena’s greeting made him want to puke his guts out. It’s strange to be treated right by them.“Hello mother!” Sophie said with a wide smile. Selena kisses her cheek to cheek and was about to kiss Ellen too, but Ellen raises his eyebrow on her that made Selena flinched and pau
The talked between them suddenly changed into how Sophie is and what the baby needs. Sophie said that everything is already taken care of and they don’t need to add more things to their nursery room because it is already full of Sen’s things and what their child needed.“What about your check-up? I wanted to accompany you and hear about my grandson's well-being!” Selena exclaimed.“I'd also like to join and bring him some more educational toys. Which hospital and doctor are you visiting?” Stefano added."I know several excellent OB-GYNs, and I can arrange for you to be admitted to the top hospital here in Kester City," the chairman offered.Ellen quietly listened as he savored his tea, though he couldn't fully enjoy its flavor due to its improper brewing. Only people of the northern land of his country can brew this tea, if not properly brewed, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. The sweetness and the aroma of the tea is still overpowering but when you drink water after this, you can taste
“What? God?” Sophie said as she removed her hands that Ellen’s holding, suddenly Ellen felt anxious. “I must have been hearing things,” Sophie said as she backs away a little.“Sophie, it’s true. Please hear me out first,” Ellen said.Ellen stands up and tried to hold her hand again, but Sophie put her hands up to his face. “Wait, just let that news sink in to me first.”“Sophie,” he gently called out. Sophie bites her lips and look at Ellen in his eyes. Sophie can see the anxiety and fear on Ellen’s eyes, but his face remains expressionless.“Are you seriously a God?” Sophie said as she looks up to Ellen, meeting his eyes filled with worry.“I can explain, I know you’re disappointed at me—”“Disappointed? I’m not Ellen, I’m just shock at what you just told me. I was taken a back. This news just exceeded my expectation.”“I always thought that you’re one of the sons of a rich family, or a normal human who’s really a hard worker…or, or!” Sophie said in a serious tone and still can’t be
When they arrived at their mansion, Emilia greeted them. “Welcome home, Ms. Sophie and boss.” She said calmly.“How’s the visit with your family?” she added. Ellen eyed Emilia not to ask her. She understood and zipped her mouth.“As usual, tiring.” She said as she hands her bag to Emilia.Sophie aggressively turns around and look at Ellen sharply. Ellen flinched and was wondering why his wife is acting this way.“What?” he asked. Sophie eyes squinted and looked at him up and down, “What’s with that look, love?”“I still can’t believe I married a God.” She said. Emilia suddenly gasps, her both hands on her mouth covering it. She looks at Ellen and back at Sophie.Suddenly, Sophie eyes widened in shock and fear crept into her. Sophie walks towards Ellen and grab the hem of his sleeve, “Oh no, did I do something I shouldn’t?”“Did they know? Or it’s still a secret and I screw it up.” She said in a whisper. Ellen laughs and grab her by the waist because she’s acting so cute.“What do we d
When they arrived at the territory, Ellen and Sophie was greeted with all of the ministers, subordinates and Lyric outside the headquarters.Vox opened the door for Ellen and Sophie, and they step out of the car. Ellen escorted his wife out and everyone waited as Sophie gets out of the car.After the Sophie got out of the car, everyone’s eyes bore to the most beautiful woman in a white elegant dress. Her hair in a tight bun, her skin glowing and being pregnant added an ethereal glow to her appearance. She walked gracefully towards the group, her presence commanding attention and admiration.Ellen, standing beside her, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as he stares at his wife. Sophie couldn’t help but secretly get shy and anxious on the inside but remain calm and collected on the inside.“Ellen,” she whispered, “Are you sure that your people will want me?”Ellen smiled at her. “What if I came off as a woman with bad intentions? I really should’ve brought that basket of fruits.”
