*SOPHIA’S POV*

Bran walked me into the hall for the birthday dinner the moment we got out of the car.

I held onto his arm as we walked in, and all attention suddenly shifted to us as some guests murmured while some gave off faint smiles.

I didn’t bother or care to know what was going through their minds. Just up ahead, I saw my Dad conversing and exchanging pleasantries with some of his guests as Bran and I walked up to him.

“Ah, Sophia…… I didn’t think you’d still make it” my Dad said with a faint smile and shook Bran’s hand.

“Well, I found time” I replied with a smile too.

“You didn’t have to if you couldn’t find time…….ah, pardon my manners, this is my second daughter, Sophia,” my Dad said as he turned to the guest standing right next to him.

“Oh, the one that took over the company?” the male guest asked, his eyes eager to know.

“Yeah, she's the one” my Dad answered.

“Nice to meet you sir” I stretched out my hand to shake him as a gesture but the guest didn't reciprocate.

    *SOPHIA’S POV*It was late in the evening now, and my staff had clocked out from work and headed home. I was about to wrap up what I was doing and head home when my phone vibrated and rang on the table where I had placed it. I dropped the pen I was using to write and picked up my phone, and saw it was a call from Ken, and that was quite unusual.***********************************************************There he was, completely enraged and taking out his anger through every punch that landed on the sandbag in the gym. The white bandage Bran wrapped around his hand and fingers was already getting a little bit bloodied from the excessive punching. His entire face, upper body, and hair were covered with sweat as they trickled down with every movement, as he kept punching and punching nonstop.********************************************************************SOPHIA’S POV*I ran towards the entrance of the private gym, as I was already worried when I received a call from Ken.I met

    Two men came out of the car that blocked off Henna’s path and approached her. One of them knocked on the window. Henna understood and rolled down the window.“So you’re Miss Henna, huh? " the man asked as he removed his shades and was busy chewing gum while Henna nodded in agreement.He opened the door and sat inside the car while the other one stood watch outside.He suddenly brought out a pocket knife and swung it at Henna’s neck as she winced and shut her eyes out of fear. “Don’t fret, Missy……. I’m not here to kill you, yet. This is but a warning for you to always remember to have a tight lip…..Mr Frank wouldn’t tolerate any slip-ups,” the man said as she slowly pressed the knife against her neck and then removed it as Henna gasped for breath.He got out of the car, and they both got into their car and drove off. Henna knew what she was in for, and this frightened her the more. She picked up her phone and dialled Jenny’s number.“Where the hell are you?” Henna asked over the pho

    *SOPHIA’S POV* Bran walked me into the hotel room, my shoulders still covered with his suit.“I will take some time to rest,” I said, and found my way to sit on the bed.I removed the suit and gently placed it on the bed beside me. “That's okay, I'll be back soon,” Bran said and exited the room as he closed the door.I removed my earrings and the bracelet I wore and placed them in the drawer so that I could sleep comfortably. *******************************************************************Henna suddenly stepped out of the hall, hastily, and walked up to a man who seemed to be dressed as a waiter.“It's room 304……….you know what to do, right?” Henna asked suspiciously.“Of course, I just have to mention Mr Bran’s name and then the rest is easy,” the man said with a mischievous smile.“Good… now off you go,” Henna said to him with a smile, as she sipped her glass of wine. The man walked away towards the hotel.SOPHIA’S POV*It hadn't been up to ten minutes since Bran left me in t

    *SOPHIA’S POV*I walked into my office and headed straight to my seat as Tessa followed from behind, but stopped the moment she got to the door.“Now that the meeting has ended, would you want me to send your dress to the office, or would you stop by the boutique and change there?” Tessa asked as she peeped through the door.I stood in front of my table and pondered for a while which option I should choose. “Send the dress to the office”, I finally made a choice and sat.“Yes, ma'am”, Tessa responded and shut the door after her.I rested on the chair, raised my left hand, right up in front of me, and stared at the wedding ring on my finger. “Would I be able to go through with my initial plan of divorcing Bran after I get back my father's company from him?”“I am starting to have two thoughts about this plan, and I fear that my feelings and love for Bran, which I thought I had buried six years ago, are beginning to resurface, and I no longer trust myself”About a few minutes before t

That someone could have been my wife!” I growled at her. “I am sorry—I—I am sorry, I didn’t mean to….. I really didn’t mean to” Mrs Reeves spoke up and apologized. “But that’s not
