*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,

    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

    *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.I haven't b

    *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

    BRAN’S POV*Weeks passed, and the day of the new city hall bidding was here. My team and I had worked our asses off for the past weeks in hopes of getting a fitting result. The air in the hall was thick with anticipation and nervous energy. I adjusted the edges of my suit jacket, my heart beating a steady rhythm against my ribs. Months of relentless work, countless late nights fueled by coffee and determination, this was the moment: the New City Hall bidding competition. Pierre, Sophia and my team, small, made up of discarded heads of departments but fiercely dedicated, sat behind me, their faces expressed tension and hope.Across the aisle, a familiar face caught my eye. Tom, well dressed as always, gave off an unsettling smile. Tom’s project name was “Apex Innovations”, while my project name was “Veridian Designs”.The head judge, Mayor Thompson, cleared her throat, and silence fell over the room.“Welcome, esteemed colleagues and citizens, to the final stage of the New City Hall

    Jane got out of the car and was escorted by Ren. “It is clear enough that my husband has chosen his side of this game,” Jane said, her emotions bottled up.“How would you like to proceed ma'am?” Ren asked.“Find me every little dirty information on my husband” Jame ordered.“Yes ma'am” Ren answered as she walked into the house alone. *SOPHIA’S POV*We finally drove down to the beach and luckily for us, the sun was about set. I got my legs out of the car and tried to pull off my flats when Bran got out and approached me.“Do you want to pull them off?” Bran gently asked as he bent the moment I nodded.He pulled off my flat shoes and gestured for me to proceed. I stepped my feet on the ground one after the other, and a cold feeling engulfed my feet.“I have always wanted to walk down the beach barefoot with the man I love,” I said with a smile and held onto Bran’s hand.“Consider your wish granted,” Bran said as he led me to the edge of the water. The waves clashing and the currents f
