The Adopted Heir Chapter 28
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

Alex was ushered into the boardroom by the securities sent by the board members. Every other associate was already in the room including Sophia and Jayden. Alex sat on another seat different from the one he usually occupied whenever they were having a meeting in the boardroom.Alex looked around to see if he could decipher what some of the board members were thinking. He knows that not everyone liked it when Mr. Christopher Columbus handed the organization to him. So, this is an opportunity for them to try and dethrone him.Alex kept looking around until his eyes landed on Mr. Alessandro McLean. He was saying something to his daughter, Sophia in hushed whispers. From what he was seeing he could deduce that Sophia wasn't happy with what he was telling her.As if Sophia could feel some prickling eyes on her skin, she looked up to see Alex's eyes watching her intensely. She momentarily zones away from the rubbish her father was saying to her.Ever since the news circulating this morning

Jayden and Sophia's eyes jam from across the room. They both had the same facial expressions. Is Alex okay at all?Alex did his best not to allow his eyes and Sophia's own to meet. He knew that he was in for a lot this evening seeing that they had practically forced their way into his house. So, he has nowhere to hide from her."He doesn't have anything to say, which goes to say that he's guilty of the charges labeled on him." Mr. Alessandro McLean chipped in for the umpteenth time. Sophia tried making him shut his mouth but he kept going without any care in the world. Sophia's veins were almost popping out of her head with how angry she was. What does Alex think he's doing? She was so mad at him right now and she was going to give him a piece of her mind later."Since Alexander Sterling has nothing to say concerning what Miss Cynthia Bailey has said, we'll now come to a conclusion on the punishment we would issue to him." Mr. Sylvester Davinci gestures for Alex and Cynthia to give t

When Alex and Chris entered the house, they met Jayden and Sophia already waiting for them. Their luggage has been sent to the east wing of the estate. So, it is safe to say that their stuff is now in Alex's house."Hello Mr. Chris, how have you been?" Sophia greeted giving him a polite hug."Good evening Mr. Columbus." Greeted Jayden Bartels."The newest and youngest CEO. Thank you, dear." Chris replied to Jayden's greetings.They all walked into the main house, which is Christopher's house. They were served soft drinks to help them relax from everything that went on in the day."Jayden, how's your grandma? Did you leave her all alone at home?" Chris directed to Jayden."She's doing very well Sir. And she's not alone either. She's under the care of a trusted caregiver and two securities." Jayden replied.Chris asked them if they wanted to have dinner with him but they all politely declined saying that they already ate their dinner earlier. Chris excused himself to go and eat telling

There is loud music coming from the Kingston villa. They were partying and celebrating Alex's downfall. For the first time, their plot worked and they were so happy.Inside the sitting room, you could see Victor, Cassandra, and Clare dancing and sipping their wines. Marcus went out a few minutes ago to sort out some business, and that's according to what he told the trio."Gosh, I didn't know that I could still be this happy ever since I lost my job at Mac and Cas Company," Cassandra shouted over the loud music.Clare giggles, she was tipsy already, "I'm happy too even though we're all jobless and officially poor." Clare said slurring.They all fell on the couch in a thud. Victor turned down the volume of the music. "I know that we are all happy for Alex's downfall but we still can't work for the organization. I feel a little bit stupid spending all my savings on revenge." Victor said in an unusually calm voice."Come off it Victor, we'll still make all the money we spent back," Cassa

“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

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.

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
