*BRAN’S POV*

After she was done, she removed the first drive and then inserted the drive from Pierre, doing what she wanted to do. She then shut her laptop and returned the drives.

“Did you ask her to help out with the drive?” I suddenly asked Pierre, my eyes filled with all kinds of mixed emotions.

“No, sir, other staff and I talked about being swamped with work, and she offered to help with the financial collation,” Pierre answered.

It couldn't be, I tried to find every reason to counter this, Sophia wouldn't do such, not to me, and not to help my uncle, for that matter.

“Could she still be mad at me for betraying her love six years ago? Could that be a reason why she sided and helped my uncle?”

These questions flooded my mind as I continued to find a reason behind all of this.

I was done at work, so I didn't bother stopping by at Sophia’s office as I knew she had gone home.

I arrived home and stepped into our main house. There she was, lying on the cushion and asleep.

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR

    *BRAN’S POV*I ran my hand through my hair as I knew that Ken had a point. The anonymity, the deliberate angles of the photos… it did seem a little too convenient. My anger began to cool slightly, and then the ache of regret for my outburst seeped in. I knew that I had acted impulsively and irrationally, and I knew that I had hurt Sophia.“You're right,” I finally conceded, my voice hoarse. “ I messed up……I need to apologize to Liam, and I need to apologize and talk to Sophia. I…… I really don't know what came over me,” I said as I took a deep, shaky breath, trying to regain myself.Just as I had finished that statement and pushed back from my desk, Pierre knocked and came in with another package.“Another package for you, sir… and also anonymous,” Pierre reported and exited the office after placing the envelope on the table. It was identical to the second package; plain, unmarked, anonymous. I looked at Ken, whose eyes were also curious to find out the content of the envelope.Sl

    *SOPHIA’S POV*“Bran, this is… this is ridiculous,” I stammered, picking up one of the pictures, my fingers trembling. “This is a misunderstanding…..Liam was just helping me after I stumbled. We were just talking, trying to get my mind off… of things,” I defended.I looked up at him, my eyes pleading for him to understand and for him to see the truth.But Bran’s face remained a mask of hurt. It suddenly felt like the trust he had in me, unshakable just moments ago, felt like it was crumbling.I knew he always had uneasy feelings about Liam.“Off of things?” Bran echoed, his voice laced with sarcasm. “Like what?……what things? What things could you possibly be talking about enough to cozy up to him!?” Bran asked. The words were cruel, a direct hit to my most vulnerable point.I flinched as if struck by the pain of the accusation.My confusion began to spread into a deep, raw hurt, quickly followed by disappointment.“How could you, Bran? How could you accuse me of something like this

    SOPHIA’S POV*We finally arrived at the beach, and I suddenly remembered the time that Bran and I visited the beach. The air brushed against my hair, and it lay against my face, a nice distraction from the thoughts swirling in my mind. The waves crashed rhythmically.“Thanks for this, Liam," I said, genuinely grateful. “It's… exactly what I needed,” I said and took in a breath of fresh air.Liam gave off a gentle smile, his gaze sweeping around. “Anytime, Sophia….Just breathe, alright? Let it all go for a bit,” Liam said. I walked along the water's edge, the cool sand beneath my feet, while Liam stood a few steps away and watched me. I found my mind cool over the past days as Liam attempted to skip a particularly flat stone, only for it to sink. He faked disappointment, making me smile.Unknown to us, Ren stood a few yards away from us.“Got them,” he muttered, clicking off a series of rapid shots. I stumbled slightly on a patch of uneven sand, and Liam, reacting immediately, r

    *SOPHIA’S POV*“While carrying out a series of tests on you. This tested positive,” the doctor said.I read through the document, now in my hand.“I—I am…..pregnant?” I stuttered, my gaze away from the document in my hand, and now fixated on the doctor, my eyes searched for an answer. “Yes, Mrs Garner, you are four weeks pregnant… thankfully, you were brought to the hospital today and I was able to figure out the complications you've had from the abortion six years ago,” the doctor said.“Is—is it safe?” I asked, my lips trembling and tears building up in my eyes as I tried to stop them. “I wouldn't say it is completely safe, and I wouldn't say it's not completely safe…….I can see that you are married, why don't I invite your husband in and we can talk about the pros and cons of the pregnancy?” the doctor suggested.“No….he is not my husband, he's just—just a friend,” I quickly said.“Oh, I am sorry, I assumed wrongly…..why don't you come with your husband for your next appointment,

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE

    *BRAN’S POV*The judges retreated for deliberation, and the tension in the hall was noticeable. When Mayor Thompson returned, her face unreadable, the crowd held its breath. “The judges have made their decision,” she stood on stage and announced, with a white card and her microphone in her hand. “The contract for the New City Hall will be awarded to……….Mr Bran Garner! Team lead of Veridian Project!”A roar erupted from my team, and Sophia’s face was filled with a beautiful smile as she stood and applauded, followed by applause from the audience. I suddenly felt a wave of relief and triumph, but my gaze immediately sought out Tom.As the congratulations poured in, I moved through the crowd, excusing myself until I stood directly in front of my uncle. Tom’s face was a mask of barely controlled anger, his eyes narrowed.“Well, Uncle,” I said, my voice low and steady.. “Looks like your ‘fragile’ supply chains held up, and those ‘unproven entities’ delivered. And funny enough, I don’t
