The Adopted Heir Chapter 101
"Why do you both look like you are going to swallow me whole at any given opportunity?" Jayden asked with furrowed eyebrows because of the way Sophia and Alex were looking at him. He almost turned back to leave the room but he decided against it at the last minute. He gave himself a pep talk, 'They won't kill you, all they will do is talk, so just calm down your nerves.' Jayden kept talking inwardly to himself until he got to the king-sized bed where the other duo sat down and patiently waited for him to come closer.When Jayden got to where they were, he brought a lone chair closer and sat down across from them. Ever since he stepped his feet into the room, their burning gazes had been on every movement that he made. At least he was now sitting in front of them, so they didn't have to strain their necks anymore to be able to see him."When will you both tell me why you are looking at me that way? Am I safe at all?" Jayden inquired for the umpteenth time."What exactly did you do to C
The Adopted Heir Chapter 102
After Sophia left in anger the room became unusually quiet. Jayden momentarily held his breath waiting for when Alex would strike. He kept glancing sideways at Alex to be able to ascertain when he might decide to pounce on him so that he would at least dodge it."What should I do to you for being so heartless? I want you to be the person to decide your punishment." Alex asked after the unnecessary silence."I'm so sorry Boss. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings and…""Don't aggravate me, Jayden Bartels. That's not the question I asked. What do you want me to do to you for hurting someone I consider a kid sister? Gosh, she's just 20, why make her undergo this shitty heartbreak at such a young age?" Alex was trying so hard not to put his hand on Jayden cos he had successfully scattered the group because of his selfish gains.Jayden bent his head in shame. He didn't expect everything to escalate to this extent. Now everyone is angry at him. And truth be told, he deserves their anger. He c
The Adopted Heir Chapter 103
The security guards stood and watched the brutal exchange between the Kingston family. It seemed like they allowed them to fight without trying to separate them. Maybe they were entertaining themselves with the fight that was going on. But what they didn't know was that as they were feeding their enjoyment, one of the servants ran off to go and inform the boss of what was going on.It didn't take up to 5 minutes after Alex left his room for him to arrive at the war zone. He was so mad at what he saw. Victor and Marcus were at loggerheads with each other while Clare and Cassandra were at each other's throats. Alex looked around to see the security guards he put in charge of them laughing and cheering at the scene being displayed in front of them."What the hell is going on here?" Alex's loud voice boomed around the open space. This got everyone's attention. The fights stopped immediately. "Are you guys deaf now? I f*cking asked a question. Why are you disturbing the serenity of this en
The Adopted Heir Chapter 104
Alex could hear the gasps coming from everyone that came out to know what was going on. Everyone was shocked to hear his final verdict on the fight that ensued a few minutes ago.

It has been more than a week since Alex fainted in his room. Now he has fully recovered and has gone back to work. His relationship with Sophia has been going smoothly. It hasn't been a bed of roses but they seem to be in a better place now. They discovered that most of the problems they do have are always due to communication and they have decided to work on that aspect of their relationship. Ever since Alex made Victor Mancini fight with one of his trained security guards, there hadn't been any ruckus in their quarters. They have been behaving themselves, they no longer fight or argue unnecessarily. I guess that it took the embarrassment of their lives to get their brains to order.

Well, we can say that it took the beating of his life to reset his brain.It's a few days to Alex's 30th birthday and Sophia has been trying her best to make it a memorable one for him.

The Adopted Heir Chapter 106
Alex can be seen in the sitting room of his house. He was patiently waiting for his girlfriend to come back home. It was already late in the night and she was nowhere to be seen which got him so worried. He fished his phone out again and dialed her number for the umpteenth time but just like the other times, she did not pick up.Alex couldn't wait around any longer doing nothing. So many series of questions were flowing through his mind. What if she was kidnapped? What if she was robbed and had no other means of getting back home? What if she broke down due to the stress of planning his birthday party? Well, his birthday is finally here, it's in a few hours but he wasn't looking forward to it if his girlfriend seems to be missing on his 30th birthday eve.With his mind running a mile per the seconds that ticked by, he swiftly stood up and went back to his room. He didn't even bother changing into a more presentable cloth before picking up his car key and storming out of the bedroom. H
The Adopted Heir Chapter 107
Alex entered his office to meet another surprise. His office staff bought him gifts. They were neatly arranged on his working table. His heart couldn't help but melt once again in the space of a few hours. He thanked every one of them for honouring him in such a manner and pleaded with them to help him take all the gifts to his car so that he could have some space to work. He was happy, but his happiness isn't complete yet until one person does the needful.Alex spent most of the day at the office expecting Sophia's call or birthday text message or even showing up at the office, but none of that happened. This brought down his mood to a minimum. He kept trying in his head to decipher what he may have done wrong to deserve such nonchalant behaviour from his girlfriend. Every time he thought of what could make her behave in such a manner, he came up with nothing to buttress the reason for the change in her attitude.Alex was still buried inside his own head when a text notification from
The Adopted Heir Chapter 108
Alex was startled at first because he wasn't expecting anyone to be around not to talk of it being in his room. Alex held his chest, “you didn't have to scare me like that.”Sophia saunters her way to where Alex is still standing at the doorway. When she got to where he had been standing for the past few minutes, she pulled him into a heartfelt hug. She inhaled his unique scent which always works like an aphrodisiac in her body.“I'm so sorry for behaving like a b*tch all this while. I just had to act that way for you to think that I didn't care. That was the only way I could have you on edge for what I've prepared for tonight. But before that, we have a reservation to meet up with in the next few minutes.” Sophia's face was full of smiles. Behind that radiant smile of hers, she couldn't help but wish that she hadn't pushed him to his limit. She was there with Cynthia when Alex called her and she knows that he is very mad at her for neglecting him on his birthday.Alex stood still for
