The Adopted Heir Chapter 58
Alex woke up the next day and made his way to Sophia's room just to discover that she had already left the house. He wanted them to talk about what happened the previous day before going to their different companies today.As for him, he wasn't going to the office just yet. He's waiting for the security guards and police officers to bring Marcus and his group to their new home. Alex went back to his room, freshened up, and dressed up for the day. He wore a three-piece navy blue suit which complemented his skin tone. He came downstairs and sat at the dining table. It didn't take long for Anastacia to serve him his food.He started eating and casually scrolling through his phone. He was just being slow on purpose because he didn't want to leave the house without seeing his new servants. He wanted to issue some orders to them before going to work.After what felt like an eternity later, the door was opened, and Marcus Kingston and his partners in crime walked in. Alex quickly finished u
The Adopted Heir Chapter 59
Sophia was at her office buried in work when she got a notification from Jayden telling her to rush to Golden Spade Restaurant that it was very urgent. Sophia immediately left all that she was doing and ran out.She drove like a crackhead cos she was panicking that something wrong might be happening. It didn't take long for her to get to the restaurant. She entered the restaurant looking disheveled and breathing hard. She looked around the restaurant and saw Jayden and Cynthia in a reserved corner. She quickly made her way to them.When Sophia got to them, she ran her eyes to and fro from them to decipher if they were hurt in any way but she was a little taken aback when she found out that there was nothing wrong with them. This leaves her with the question 'Why did they give her a heart attack with that type of message?'"Why did you both make me drive here like a maniac all for nothing? What if the road securities caught me? Have you thought of that?" Sophia asked a series of questi
The Adopted Heir Chapter 60
Jayden gestured for Cynthia to fill Sophia in on what the plan was all about. Cynthia was skeptical about being the one to start the talk. She was hoping that Jayden would do the talking and she would just back him up."I'm still waiting guys. What plan do you guys have up your sleeves?" Sophia asked, still having her earlier abandoned sandwich.After much back and forth moments, Cynthia decided to do the honors. She cleared her throat to know if she could clear her nerves a little bit. She really doesn't know why Sophia gets her nervous. Maybe because she's still yet to fully let go of what she put them all through."I'd like to make a request first before going ahead and voicing out the plan." Cynthia directed at Sophia whose attention was now solely on Cynthia."And what might that be? For the record, I don't have money to give out, I'm still looking for a way to gather the money my father owes the Howells. As much as I would have loved for him to suffer for his mistakes, he's stil
The Adopted Heir Chapter 61
It is night already and Sophia is back at Alex's house. She has stopped her house hunting for now seeing that she has a lot of money to pay the Howells so she can't just misuse the one she has currently. She has been working so hard to gather the whole money so that her father doesn't have any reason to push her off to a man.Unlike the previous day, Sophia came down for dinner. She didn't lock herself up like she did last night. Well, Jayden and Cynthia spoke to her over the phone earlier and told her to be as nice as she could towards Alex. They told her to drop her sassy attitude for now that it will help their plan to be more effective.When she joined Alex in the dining, you could see the surprised look he gave her. He was taken aback to see Sophia joining him for dinner and even smiled at him. The Sophia he knows would never want to be seen anywhere near him. She would avoid him with everything she has got.Alex was happy because he didn't know how to start resolving the issue t
The Adopted Heir Chapter 62
Sophia was still catching up with Alex when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID to find out that it was Jayden who was calling her. She knows that it's because of the text message she sent to him a few minutes ago.Sophia sent that message because Alex does romantic stuff and says that it's what he would normally do for a friend, so she has to go ahead with the plan to know if he's actually being truthful that he doesn't see her in a romantic way."Um…I really enjoyed my time with you tonight. I'm happy that we got to talk. And I'm also happy that we have squashed our little beef. Now, I have to retire to bed." Sophia said, still looking at her vibrating phone. She wanted to leave the dining room immediately and answer the call."Are we back to hiding stuff from each other?" Alex asked out of the blue. He was sipping his black coffee because it helps him stay up at night and get some work done."I don't understand–what do you mean?" Sophia asked in a confused tone. She didn't
The Adopted Heir Chapter 63
Alex sat down for quite some time absorbing the shock of the revelation that he just discovered. He doesn't even know how to feel about the whole thing. "I guess that I should be happy for her." He voiced out his thoughts. But why does it seem like he is truly not happy about this revelation? His thoughts were just messed up, he is trying so hard to forget about the whole admirer shit but it seems to be the only thing he can think of.Just so that he would not run mad with overthinking, he stood up and made his way to the back of the house. He was going to the staff quarters to see how his latest servants were holding up. He didn't check on them when he got back because his thought was occupied by Sophia's debt and how to be of help to her.Alex got to the staff quarters to meet the four criminals outside. They are eating and casually chatting. He couldn't make out what they were saying until he got closer."I don't think I can survive a long time in this place. What's the difference
The Adopted Heir Chapter 64
Alex was already having breakfast the next day when Sophia hastily made her way to the door without noticing Alex's presence. She was almost at the door when Alex's voice stopped her."Hey you, where are you rushing off to this early?" Alex asked puzzled.Sophia immediately stopped and turned to meet eyes with Alex who was already looking at her. Wow, she wondered how she didn't notice him in the first place.She swiftly walked over to him and hugged him from the back, "Good morning bestie. I'm sorry that I didn't notice you. I was just in a hurry to leave. I have to be somewhere in the next few minutes." Sophia apologized.Alex tugged at her hands making her stand in front of him. He gave her a once over just to discover that she was looking exceptionally beautiful today. She made a lot of conscious attempts on her look today."You look extremely stunning today. Don't get me wrong, you always look beautiful but I can't help but notice that there is a lot of effort being put into your
The Adopted Heir Chapter 65
Sophia was shocked. She didn't expect to be going out with her so-called boyfriend this soon. She thought that it was going to kick off in three weeks' time because that's when Alex's birthday would take place. What was she supposed to be doing with the guy from now up until three weeks' time?"This is going way too fast. I thought that the main scheme would start three weeks from now. Why all this rush?" Sophia asked, looking puzzled."The earlier, the better. If you both start early enough, then you will know each other well enough to be able to convince Alex that you've known him for some time now. Cos how will you and your supposed boyfriend know each other if you don't communicate with each other?" Jayden explained.Sophia now understands where they are coming from and where they are going. It all makes sense to her now."Do you guys know this person well enough? I want to believe that you wouldn't make me go out with a psychopath." Sophia interjected.Jayden snorted out a laugh,
