Sophia’s POV.After a while, the doctor walked in and checked my status. Even though AC was on in my room, I was sweating badly, and the pain was doing no good. The doctor checked my blood pressure and shook his head.“Did she again take any stress?”, He asked dad, to which he reluctantly agreed. “Keep try to her away from all this, or you will be responsible for anything that happens next.”“Did you eat something, Mrs. Haysbert?”, The doctor asked, on which I shook my head. “Please, something after that, only you can have your medicine, and I will suggest you not to take so much stress; it’s not good for you.”, he said, looking at me and then turning his head to look at dad again. “I don’t the complete matter, Mr. Haysbert. I will just suggest that you either drop that topic or hide it or do anything else, just not raise it again and again. The baby died… I mean, almost died because of it.”“I will try my best.”, Dad said, nodding his head, and just after a few seconds, Martha enter
Sophia’s POV.When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found Brandon sleeping peacefully, wrapping his hand around Caroline. I checked the time and realized that he was getting late for the office, but then he couldn’t sleep properly last night because of Caroline. At the interval of every two or three hours, she used to wake up and start crying. And Brandon being an amazing dad, asked me to sleep and handled her, from checking her diapers to feeding her milk.I had already filled the breast pump, so she didn’t throw a tantrum, realizing that it was my milk.I carefully leaned toward her and kissed her head, and then looked at Brandon closely. A small smile appeared on my face automatically, seeing him so closely.Stop Sophia!! Don’t forget that this is a contract marriage.Just 11.5 months, and then our path would separate. So, just stop it!!All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, catching me red-handed.‘Holy shit! Now, he would give me a lecture again.’ I thought, but he didn’t; in
Sophia’s POV . “Sophia.” he smiled widely and came near me, looking at Caroline. “Is she your daughter?” “Yes!!” I nodded with a smile. “Pre-mature delivery?” he asked, to which I nodded my head. “She is beautiful but…”, He complimented and then looked at me. “.... definitely doesn’t look like your daughter. Because neither did she take on you or your boyfriend, aka husband.” I narrowed my eyes at his choice of words, and then he started grinning, “I was just joking.” “I hate this type of ridiculous joke. Moreover, she is my daughter whether she looks like me or not. And he is my husband, not my boyfriend.” “You mean your boyfriend disappeared and never returned back until now?” “Yeah!” I nodded my head. “But my daughter is lucky to have him, and I can guarantee that she won’t have got this much love from her real father that she is receiving from Brandon. All I know is that blood may be thicker than water, but love is thicker than anything.” “I second that.” he smiled. “I’m s
Sophia’s POV.I didn’t know what exactly happened to Brandon. He was behaving colder toward me with each passing day, and it was hurting me. I knew we were not close, but the minimum interaction between us was also ending. Well, not just me, but he was also maintaining distance from Caroline.I wanted to hold him and ask him the reason behind his sudden change his behavior, but then I knew the terms of the contract, and it was clearly mentioned that neither of us was allowed to interfere in each other’s life.A month had passed now, but his behavior was still cold. A part of me had also given hope over it. Moreover, I was even hoping or expecting anything from him when I had to raise my daughter alone after some time.“You look stressed.”, I heard a familiar voice. I smiled when I saw Henry. He gave a small smile to me first and then looked at Caroline.“Hey, baby girl.”, He shook his hand with her, and in no time, Caroline held his fingers. She was learning to grab something too qui
Sophia’s POV . I was about to say something so that they could leave each other’s hands, but before I would have said anything, my daughter started crying. In no time, Brandon left Henry’s hand and walked toward Caroline. He reached near her and picked her in his arms. “What happened, Princess, hmm?” Brandon asked, and Caroline stopped crying the very next moment. ‘Thank you, Caro! You unknowingly helped your mom.’ I mentally thanked my daughter. “I think I should leave instead of being the third wheel in a family.” Henry smiled, on which I smiled back at him and nodded. We gave each other a side hug before he left. The moment I turned toward Brandon, he was throwing daggers with his eyes at Henry and looked extremely pissed. He started walking toward our building, taking Caroline in his arms while I followed him rolling the empty stroller. I was positive that he wouldn’t speak anything, so I initiated the conversation when we entered the elevator. “You know, that was rude. You
Sophia’s POV.“Dad, Martha, Sophia,” Brandon yelled; all of a sudden, everyone ran to the hall, wondering what had happened because of which Brandon was yelling. Caroline was with him. Did something happen to her?“What? What happened? What?”, Everyone reached near Brandon, and he smiled.“Let me show you something to, you guys,” he said happily.“Caro, say dada!!”, He said to Caroline, who looked at him cluelessly. “She just said ‘da da’ twice.”, he explained when Caroline just kept looking here and there.“Wow, you are teaching him to call ‘dada’ first.”, Dad chirped. “She will call me ‘dada.’”, He added in excitement.“Excuse me? Mister. She will call me ‘dada’ you will be her grandpa.”, Brandon snapped, and then an argument started between both father and son. Martha and I looked at each other and shook our heads.These Men.Caroline was now entering her sixth month after two weeks. So, repeating the same sound was going to be common, and they started fighting on the very first d
Sophia’s POV.Brandon took a few steps toward me; he tried to touch me, maybe to calm me down, but I slapped his hand, pushing him away, but he didn’t give up on me; he again tried to reach near me again and then wrapped his hand around my waist.“Just calm down, okay? Calm down”, he whispered softly. I rested my head on his chest and started crying, clutching his t-shirt. He kept caressing my hair with one of his hands while the other one was still on my waist. Not once did he try to stop me from crying, maybe because he could understand my pain.“Why, mom, Brandon? Why her? She is the most amazing person I have ever known, Brandon. I knew she was also from the same family, but not once did she teach Oscar or Owner to hurt innocent creatures even though she knew what they would become in the future.”, I said, sobbing. “I don’t know much, Brandon, but Oliver told me that Mom used to teach all her three sons never to attack supernatural creatures first because they all are not bad; so
Sophia’s POV.Each and every single second was heavy for everyone to pass. I couldn’t help but wonder who would be the next target of our enemy?Until now, I used to feel that there could be a chance that dad and my brothers did wrong by killing every member of their pack, thinking there could be innocent werewolves too who died that night but now, I felt nothing but hatred for those beasts. I think dad did right by genociding the whole pack; I wish he could have killed that dog too.I hadn’t seen that dog, but I was sure, but I was sure that he was nothing but heartless and cruel for sure? And how could someone be like that?“Sleep, Sophia.”, Brandon’s voice rang in my ear. He was trying his best to make me sleep, but I couldn’t. From marriage till now, for the first time, I was in his arms, and Caroline was with Martha in another room. Immediately I sat on the bed when I heard the sound of the vehicle in the middle of the middle.There was no way Oliver could reach here this soon,
