SOPHIA'S POV

I was flustered, and I pulled back immediately. “I’m.. so sorry, sir” I stammered, taking a step back.

His tone dripped with irritation as he scoffed.

“I’ll let it go this time,” he said with a dismissive wave, and turned his head away from me.

I bit my lower lip, forcing myself to hold back a retort.

‘Just one year with him. I will endure it.’

I was about to sit down back on the chair beside his bed when my phone began ringing. I glanced down to see “Mother Rose” flashing on

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 87: “I will kill him myself!”

    DAMON'S POVIt has been five days since Donald was buried. Yet the mansion still felt unbearably empty without him.Sometimes, I still expect to hear his loud voice arguing with the children for teasing him. But every time silence answered instead, reality hit me all over again.I sat quietly in my study, staring blankly at the untouched documents on my desk. I had not stepped foot into the office since the accident just because I could not.Every time I tried gathering the strength to return to normal life, the image of Donald lying lifeless inside that coffin would rush back into my head. And it destroyed me all over again.A soft knock came on the door before Sophia walked in slowly. “You still have not eaten anything,” she said gently.I sighed tiredly and rubbed my forehead. “I am not hungry.”That is becoming my regular response these days.Sophia walked toward me quietly before placing her hand softly on my shoulder. “You cannot continue like this, Damon.”I closed my eyes brie

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 86: “I want to go with my son!”

    SOPHIA'S POVI never knew silence could be this loud.The Graham mansion, which had been filled with laughter just days ago, now felt empty and suffocating, with pain lingering in every corner. Even the walls felt mournful.The soft sounds of crying echoed through the house from time to time, and each time I heard them, my chest tightened painfully again.Donald was really gone. Gone forever.Even after days had passed since the accident, my mind still refused to accept it completely because everything happened too suddenly.One moment he was laughing with the children and arguing with Damon over football, and the next… He was lying lifeless in a hospital bed.I stood quietly in front of the mirror inside my room, dressed in a long black gown for the funeral. My eyes were swollen from days of crying.Believe me, I have not cried this much in years.A soft knock came on the door before Damon entered slowly. The moment my eyes landed on him, my heart shattered all over again.He looked

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 85: “He is in the hospital right now.”

    DAMON'S POVAfter Sophia's last words the other day, “Let's find out more then.” I took it upon myself to visit Chris Clark in his company.Edinburgh is only a few hours away from Glasgow, but somehow the drive felt longer. I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove into the city.By the time I arrived at the company building, it was already afternoon.I parked my car before walking inside calmly.Immediately, I approached the receptionist desk. “Good afternoon,” I said politely. “I am here to see Mr. Chris Clark.”The receptionist offered an apologetic smile. “I am sorry, sir, but do you have an appointment with the CEO?”“No, I do not.”“I am really sorry then,” she replied professionally. “Mr. Clark does not see visitors without appointments.”I nodded slightly. But, I was not offended. She was only doing her job.Just as I was about replying, a voice suddenly called from behind me. “Mr. Graham?”I turned around slowly to see a middle-aged man in a suit stared at me with widen

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 84: “Grandpa Donald is here.”

    DONALD'S POVGoing back to secondary school at my age was not easy at all because every single day felt like a battle.At first, I thought the hardest part would be studying again after wasting years of my life on drugs and reckless living.But no. The hardest part was enduring the humiliation. The stares. The whispers. The mocking laughter.I was older than every student in school, and nobody ever let me forget it. Especially the students in my class.“Grandpa Donald is here.”“Careful before uncle falls asleep during class.”“Are you sure your children are not in university already?”I hear these every single day.At first, I used to get very angry. But after a while, I stopped reacting.Because normally? I deserved worse. If I had not ruined my own life years ago, I would not be sitting in S6 with teenagers half my age.So instead of getting angry, I endured it all silently. And no matter how difficult it became, I kept pushing myself. Because for once in my life, I actually wanted

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 83: Chris is still alive.

    DAMON'S POVDonald’s decision to return to school was still fresh in my mind.I loved the fact that he didn't want to be referred to as a secondary school dropout, or more accurately, someone who never got the chance to finish his final year in secondary education after everything that happened.In Scotland, we call it “secondary school,” and his level is what we refer to as S6, a final year before university preparation.I did everything I could to fix that part of his life. I spoke with the headteacher of a prestigious secondary school in Glasgow, who agreed to consider his admission under special circumstances, especially after I explained everything privately.Donald was placed in his final year again, with academic support, so he could complete his Scottish Qualifications Certificate (SQC) properly and qualify for university entry afterward.Over the next week, things slowly began to change. Donald started attending school properly. And every morning, he complained about one thin

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 82: “I want to go back to school.”

    DONALD'S POVI stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection for a long time. Even after dressing properly for church earlier and trying my best to look decent, there were some things clothes could never hide.My eyes as an example.They had become darker over the years. Even though the dark circles beneath them were fading slightly compared to before, they were still there like permanent scars left behind by years of addiction and reckless living.I slowly touched the side of my face and let out a bitter laugh. “Look at you, Donald,” I muttered to myself quietly.I looked nothing like the young man I used to be years ago. Back then, I had dreams and ambitions. But now, all that remained were regrets.I opened the drawer beside the mirror slowly and brought out the small packet of drugs I had hidden carefully after being deported back to Scotland.I had made sure nobody found it while searching my belongings at the airport.I stared at the packet silently. So small,
