The Adopted Heir Chapter 133
Sophia woke up to see her boyfriend and her friends surrounding her in their various positions. There was this happiness that filled her soul to know that they slept in the same room with her without considering the uncomfortable position they slept in. The closest person to her right now is Cynthia who was sleeping an inch beside her. She gently tapped Cynthia which made Cynthia open her eyes almost immediately she was touched because she thought that Sophia might be in any form of discomfort.“Sophia, is everything okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?” Cynthia rushed out.Sophia shook her head sideways, “No, I'm fine. Just help me and touch the men.” Sophia requested.Cynthia walked over to them and tapped them. They both woke up with a startle, just like Cynthia, they thought that something was wrong with Sophia. When they looked around, they saw Sophia who already sat up on her bed. In a split second, Alex swiftly rushed to where she was sitting down and engulfed her in a hug.

“Please explain what you mean,” Jayden said, still looking a bit taken off guard by her response.“I knew that I was pregnant. Well… I didn't know for a fact because I didn’t do any tests in the hospital but I did a urine test with a pregnancy test kit and it came out positive. I didn't know how to tell my boyfriend because I didn't know how he would take it. I also knew that I would lose the child when I started bleeding out.” She was a bit sceptical about telling him because they had only been intimate just once and that was on the night after his birthday. They had already been aroused even before they went to the party venue, it was only natural that they completed what they started earlier.“I can't believe that you are saying this. Why would you keep something like that away from me? Have I ever given you any reasons to doubt my love for you? It takes two to tangle, have you forgotten?” Alex asked a series of questions. He was bothered that Sophia would think that he would by an
The Adopted Heir Chapter 1
Alex just got back after running all the errands issued to him by his wife. He was exhausted from all the day's work. He entered into the mansion owned by his wife's family where he also lives. The house of Kingston occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was the most luxurious villa in all of Manhattan. It had everything ranging from a garden, a swimming pool, a golf course, and a spa.The Kingston family was one of the mighty five, the top five most reputable families in Manhattan! Their financial power and influence were unrivaled in Manhattan.On his way to his room, he heard clanking of cups and chatters coming from the sitting room. He decided to say hello to his wife and let her know that he was back."Hello babe," Alex said immediately after he entered the room."Good evening all" He added after noticing the guests in the room."Who is your babe, you nitwit?" Cassandra sneered.Cassandra is the supposed wife of Alexander who turned him into a slave just because his family o

Alex stormed into the garden. The garden was directly opposite the villa gate. Anybody that was visiting the villa would first of all set eyes on Kingston's large and luxurious garden. The garden was diligently maintained, no weeds could be found, and it was trimmed to perfection.Alex sat on one of the foyers trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. He was pissed beyond imagination. This inhumane behavior being meted out on him was weighing him down beyond measure.He was still deep in thought when the villa gate automatically opened for Marcus to enter. Alex looked closely to find police vehicles behind Marcus' Bentley."Who gave you the right to lay your wretched hands on my daughter" As if on cue Cassandra ran out of the house still shedding crocodile tears. She quickly ran into her father's arms. He began patting her back and was whispering promises into her ear.Alex was still trying to figure out what was up when Marcus signaled the police officers to bundle him into the vehic

"Look who we have here, like what you see?" Cassandra mused."It took you so long to get here, what kept you?" Victor asked.Alex was still dumbstruck. He was still finding it difficult to understand the scene in front of him. How could he have missed the hints? He had been fooled all these years. He thought Victor was his friend. He confided in this dude and he pretended all these while to be on his side not knowing that he had been sleeping with his supposed wife.Alex felt the wetness on his face, he hadn't realized that he'd been crying. He wasn't even hurt that his wife was cheating, he was hurt by who she was cheating on him with "How long has this been going on?" He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.As if on cue, Clare walks into the room with some documents, "I see you've gotten your present. I don't know what gave you the idea that you could be with someone as influential as Cassandra for a long time.""You should be happy that she even stooped so low to be with you for
The Adopted Heir Chapter 4
Alex pinched himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Alex had already told Chris his pathetic story. How his ex-family in-laws turned him into an errand boy. This was too much for him to take in. Just a few hours ago he was the servant son-in-law to the Kingston family. And now, he is the heir to a multi-trillionaire. This better not be a dream, he thought."I want you to contact my Butler. His name is Darius Rucker, he will settle the hospital expenses and take us home""Um okay," Chris gave Alex his Butler's contact, and after a few minutes, a man in a three-piece expensive suit who looked to be in his early fifties rushed into the ICU panting."Sir Chris… Oh my God, I've been so worried sick about you. I called you several times but it always went straight to voicemail. What happened…""Calm down Darius. Take a deep breath, I'm fine as you can see. It's just a few bruises here and there"That was when Darius' breathing began gradually coming down to normal. "Thank God that yo
The Adopted Heir Chapter 5
Alex was surprised to see that the card didn't work. He was very sure that Darius wouldn't play him for a fool. The whole mall began whispering."He's so shameless, who comes to a luxury mall to shop empty-handed""Gosh! He's a pauper, he better be sent out before he makes away with anything""Poor church rat, how could he come here to disrupt the serenity of this environment"People kept spitting out harsh words on Alex. Alex was stunned into silence."Alex this is low even for you. Did you think that you could easily blend into this world? This world is not for people like you" Cassandra continued making fun of Alex. She was enjoying everything going on now.Just then a man dressed up in an expensive well-tailored three-piece suit showed up. "May I know what this whole commotion is about?"This was James Johnson the manager of B & B. He was in his mid-thirties. James rarely came out for irrelevant commotions that occur once in a while in the store, but today seemed to be different.
The Adopted Heir Chapter 6
Christopher introduced Alex to his Associates as the new boss. They all welcomed him with open arms. One after the other they put him through on what had been going on in their companies. Alex was sort of surprised as to why Marcus or Cassandra didn't show up. "I will look into that later," he said to himself. They were back home now and Alex and Chris were just chilling. They were sitting at the Foyer behind the swimming pool taking in the evening breeze."Son, how was your first day at work?" Chris inquired."It went well, the different Associates welcomed me with open arms even though I know that some of them were not happy with the new development. Maybe they wanted you to make one of them the Boss on top.""Hmph, do not pay heed to any of their annoying attitudes. You are now their new Boss and they're all answerable to you. Don't allow any of them to intimidate or bully you." Chris advised."Sure Dad, I'll always keep that in mind." Alex wasn't going to allow anyone to look dow

The ladies knew that they were in for a lot. They trembled in fear and strikes of tears ran down their faces, “Please spare us.” Cassandra pleaded in a shaky voice. She was against this whole arrangement at first because she knew that there would be no easy way out if they were caught, but they had to emotionally blackmail her into taking part in it, now look where that had gotten them.Cassandra’s answer caused Alex to chuckle in amusement, “I just lost my child because of you guys and for some shitty reason you think that I would want to let you go?” He asked in his newly adapted mild voice. This particular tone of his feared them more than the loud and snappy tone.“We didn't know that she was pregnant, and the poison wasn't even for her,” Clare replied.Alex huffed in disbelief, “Should that make me feel better? If it wasn't the baby who died, it would have been Sophia. And… would it have been better if you guys succeeded in your plans to kill me? There's one particular question t

‘Kaboom’ Alex's fist lands on Victor Mancini's face.“You had the nerve to try to kill my girlfriend. You must really be fearless.” Alex spat. Over the past 10 minutes after Sophia's call, he had been with the Kingston family, or better put– the notorious four. They were tied up in circles with their backs to each other on the floor. He had the urge to just end them completely, but he knew that the law would take its course no matter his status in society. He had to come home after hearing the news of Sophia's miscarriage. He had to look for where to let out his anger and the only place that came to his mind was the perpetrator's body. He wanted them to feel half of what he was feeling right now. This is very much unlike him but they have done more than enough, whom much is given, much is expected also.“As I said earlier, your girlfriend was not the target. We wanted you to be the one to take the drink but no! Sophia had to get in the way of our revenge. Well, I guess that half-bread

“Please can you repeat what you said earlier?” Alex reiterated, still shocked by the news.“I said that my team and I are so sorry to announce to you that she lost the baby. We did our best to save her but the poison in her system would have succeeded in killing her if it didn't kill the baby.” The doctor repeated while he thought that they didn't hear him the first time.“Shit!” Alex cussed out and punched the closest wall. This motion startled both the doctor and Cynthia who was too dumbstruck to say anything. “Um… we didn't know that she was pregnant.” Cynthia finally speaks.The doctor looked surprised at this. It was then that he realised that they asked him to recap what he said earlier not because they didn't hear him but because they were hearing it for the first time– they were shocked at the news.“She was a few weeks gone from the scan we carried out on her earlier… precisely 4 weeks gone.” The doctor answered. He saw how the news disoriented Alex– how he was going around

“Cynthia, please ask my baby to wake up.” Alex strained out from the driver's seat. He looked between the road and at his girlfriend through the rearview mirror. He frustratedly hit his hands on the driving wheel when the traffic light turned red. If he were to be the one in front, he wouldn’t have minded the traffic light at all.At the back of the car, Cynthia was shaking profusely. Her lips trembled and her eyes kept overflowing with tears. They were all to be blamed for Sophia's current condition. If anything happens to Sophia, they will all be doomed.“Is there no other way for you to get to the hospital? Sophia is bleeding profusely– Alex, she's losing a lot of blood.” Cynthia was able to get out of her jittery nerves.Alex looked to his right to see that the cars were moving to the right side, but he was supposed to take the straight road cos that's the road leading to the hospital. It was about 30 seconds remaining for the traffic light to turn to green but that felt like an e

Sophia picks up a gift card from the list of items lying on the floor, “Oh… this is not for me.” She hands it over to Alex, “This card has your name on it.”Alex took it and looked at it. It didn't go beyond his notice that his girlfriend totally avoided what he said to her earlier, but he would just let it go.They ended up exchanging their gifts. At some point during the process, they all got emotional about the thoughtful gifts they all got. Sophia got a box of diamond pieces of jewellery, a Christmas card, a big teddy bear– that got her cackling though, and a MacBook.Alex got a Christmas card too, some sports attire– he had an inkling that it would be from Cynthia cos that girl wanted him to go boxing on his birthday, he got a headset too because he likes music a lot and he finally got a Rolex designer wristwatch.Cynthia was the only one who didn't get a Christmas card. This made them conclude that the lovely cards were from her. Well, She got some cake equipment like an oven, a

“Merry Christmas.” That has been what has been exchanged so many times since daybreak. Alex invited all his staff to have Christmas dinner with them. The dinner was to start by 7 pm while the exchange of gifts between him and his friends was to happen by 5 pm. It was half past 4 pm already and they were all now surrounding the Christmas tree. It happened that every one of them sneaked in their Christmas gifts for one another before daybreak. They did it in such a way that the recipient of the gift wouldn't know the giver– the only way to know that the gift is for you is from the name written on it.As for what they had been doing since morning, Well, they all woke up quite late and when they did, they had their brunch and drove to the cemetery where they stayed with Mr Christopher for quite some time. On their way back, they dropped by the orphanage and celebrated Christmas with the children there. They took pictures and played around with the babies. When they were about to leave, th

It's Christmas Eve and Alex, his girlfriend and his friends went to the movie theater to spend it. They had been outside the whole day, going from one fun place to the other. They already mounted a Christmas tree earlier in the day before leaving the house. They were going to place their gifts on the tree after they got home from the theatre. “This is like the hundredth time I'm seeing this movie and it still ended up making me emotional as always,” Cynthia said dabbing her eyes and wiping the snot running down her nose. “Yeah… Romeo and Juliet always have a way of penetrating someone's heart. Every time I watched the movie, I kept praying that they would live happily ever after while still knowing that they would still die.” Sophia chipped in. They were done watching their movie and they were on their way home. As the women conversed about the movie, the men sat down quietly and listened to them. They don't want to say anything that would make them call any of them inconsiderate or
