Sophia was in her room sleeping when she heard a knock on her door. She steered a bit but didn't answer the door. She was too tired from the party that happened the previous day and she doesn't want to be disturbed. But the knock persisted.She groaned glaring at the door as if the person that was knocking would magically disappear. When the knock came again, she removed the duvet on her body and stood up angrily. She was determined to give the person on the other side of the door a piece of her mind.When she yanked the door open what she saw calmed her down a little bit. She saw one of their servants carrying a bouquet of her favorite flower. She loves rose flowers immensely. The only person who ever offered her rose flowers was her late mother and that was almost a decade ago.Suddenly, Sophia was no longer angry and ready to murder someone."Ma'am Sophia. A delivery guy dropped this flower off for you a few minutes ago." The servant nervously said, he thought that he was in troubl

Alex and Sophia were now back to the way they used to be. They're eating and teasing each other. She didn't know that she missed him this much until now. She was happy that they had made up because if not, she would have still been moody until now.They were both gisting and catching up in the restaurant when Sophia remembered something and decided to ask."Alex, for us to be on the same page. In order not to be shocked by you again, I want to ask: hope you don't have any other thing you're hiding. If there is, you'd better start spilling now." Sophia said in a pensive voice not wanting to be surprised again. She doesn't think that her poor heart can survive another blow.Eric clears his throat, he looks uncomfortable and nervous. He had so much to tell Sophia about everything that had been happening this past few months but he was being skeptical about opening up.Sophia noticed that Alex's mood had changed, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights, "Alex, I want you to know th

Sophia's face looked like she was going to murder someone. What she just heard a few seconds ago is what is called a violation.She's even angry at Alex for being this calm about this. Who remains this calm in the face of adversity? This baffles and worries Sophia to no end.She was hoping that this was the end of his confessions because she didn't think that she could handle any more jabs. All she had heard today was making her want to commit murder.She was still glaring and frowning at Alex. She was so going to deal with him for being this nice to his enemies. She was going to bite his ears off if he dared opened his mouth again to say that he let Samantha off the hook easily without any repercussions."So when you woke up and found out about what happened, what exactly did you do to her? I presume that she's in police custody now, right?" Sophia asked with her unwavering gaze fixated on Alex.Alex scratched the back of his head sheepishly. She knows that he's in for a lot of tongu

"Which person formulated this type of balderdash? What is truly their gain in all of this?" Alex was busy scrolling through the internet and seeing more heartbreaking things about him.The headline news reads, "The Adopted CEO of C-Square Associates Limited Denies A Girl He Got Pregnant, So Irresponsible of Him."Another headline news says, "Alexander Sterling, The CEO of C-Square Associates Limited Gets A Girl Pregnant And Is Forcing Her To Abort It, Who Does That?"So many more headlines were flying around the internet. And so many shitty things were been said about him in the comment session."These people are f*cking crazy, what the hell is all this?" Alex yelled running his hands through his hair. He was now pacing around his room.Alex went through the comment session and some of the things he saw chilled his blood. These people were so mean with what they were writing."I always knew that that man is too good to be true, I expected him to be a green snake in a green grass and h

Sophia rushed to Alex and gave him a bone-crushing hug. She squeezed him so tight that he was rendered immobile."Can't breathe…argh" Alex squeaked out. And Sophia lets him go.Then, it was Jayden's turn, he walked up to Alex and gave him a firm handshake which he returned with an equal vigor."I'll be your chauffeur for today. I'll take you to work and bring you back. I'll take you anywhere you want to go today." Sophia directed to Alex.Alex got a notification when he was on his way out of his foster father's house saying that the board members had an urgent meeting in the next two hours. He's very sure that Sophia and Jayden got the same messages too.Alex didn't need to think twice to know what the meeting was about. In as much as he is the highest boss. He's still tantamount to a query. He has the 60% share of the company and the other associates partnered up with the remaining 40%. But that doesn't mean he was unquestionable whenever he messed up.He knows that they can't just t
