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 89: “May God forgive his soul.”

    SOPHIA'S POVI used to think betrayal only hurt when it came from enemies. But now, sitting inside the courtroom beside Damon and Mom, I realized that betrayal from someone you trust was far more painful.Because, betrayal shatters something deeper than anger. It shatters belief.Damon was not only grieving Donald's death.He was also grieving the fact that the person responsible for it was Leo. The man who had stood beside him for years.Even I still found it difficult to believe. Ever since the first day I stepped into Graham Group and into Damon's life, Leo had always treated me with respect. He is supportive, helpful, and protective even. Never once did I imagine that such darkness was hiding inside him.The courtroom felt unbearably silent despite the voices echoing around. Ethan and Leo sat at the defendants' side, both wearing prison uniforms.But unlike Ethan, who looked frightened and broken, Leo remained expressionless.I slowly turned toward Damon whose eyes were fixed comp

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 88: “Do not ask if I did it. Ask why I did it.”

    DAMON'S POV“Mr. Leo Fernandez.” Ethan's words echoed inside my head repeatedly.For a moment, I thought I heard wrongly because my ears rang loudly, and I could barely breathe properly.‘Leo?’‘No.’‘No, that is not impossible.’“What did you just say?” Brownlow asked quietly.Ethan swallowed hard. “It was Leo Fernandez, sir.”The next thing I knew, anger exploded inside me. I stormed into the investigation room immediately and grabbed Ethan violently by his collar.“Say that again!” I shouted furiously. “Who did you say it was that sent you?” I stared at him like I had suddenly gone mad.“L-Leo, sir!” he cried fearfully. “It was Leo!”My hand landed across his face again. “How dare you accuse an innocent man because of your stupidity!” I yelled. “Do you even know who Leo is to me?”Ethan shook in fear. “Sir, I am not lying!”“You liar!” I shouted again.Brownlow and the other officers quickly rushed toward me again. “Mr. Graham, calm down!”But I could not calm down. How could I? Le

  • 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 39: Reuniting with an old friend.

    DAMON'S POV“She’s mute?” I asked again, almost as a whisper.“Yes, Mr. Graham,” Doctor Stone replied. “She is.”I sank onto the nearest bench, the weight of his words pressed down on me like a stormcloud. My fists clenched on my lap.“Can she be cured?” I asked, barely looking up.“It’s possible.

On a whim, I went in and picked something out for her. A small gesture to show her that I hadn’t tricked her
