BRAN’S POV*

It was about twenty to thirty minutes to 7 pm when I checked my wristwatch.

I terrified Pierre immediately.

“Get the car ready,” I said over the phone.

Pierre got the car ready, and we both left work and headed to Sophia’s company.

*SOPHIA’S POV*

I was going through some of the files for our new designs when I heard a quick knock in succession. I looked up and saw that it was Tessa, but she didn’t come straight into the office, but just stood at the door, gesturing with her hands for me to look behind her.

I was still a bit confused as to why she was gesturing when she could come inside the office and talk to me.

“What?” I mouthed from where I sat.

The next thing I saw was Bran as he walked behind Tessa, towards my office. Tessa quickly excused herself, it was then I realized that she was trying to tell me to look behind to see Bran coming.

“What brings you here?” I asked nonchalantly.

“Forgotten already?” he said as he walked into my office, both hands pocketed.

    *BRAN’S POV*It was late now; Pierre had returned and picked me up from the office as we headed to the lodge, where I had Pierre keep Mrs. Reeves for the time being.Pierre opened the door and I stepped into the lodge and there she sat, ridden with guilt and fear.Mrs Reeves suddenly hid her face away from me the moment I stepped foot into the lodge.“Mrs Reeves” I called out to her but she didn't respond, her face away from mine. “She hasn't said a thing since I brought her here sir” Pierre chipped in.With my hands in my pockets, I walked up to where she sat.“Who told you to remove the brake calliper from Sophia’s car?” I asked sternly, my face and eyes deprived of sympathy.Mrs Reeves looked at me and then looked away.“Do you realize that because of what you did, someone else is heavily hospitalized? 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

    SOPHIA’S POV*I picked up my phone and saw two missed calls from Liam and then three missed calls from my Dad. I knew that the only reason my Dad would call me so much was simply because Henna has done what she always does best. I wasn't in the right mood to talk to Liam, so I just turned off my phone and threw it on the bed. I bent towards the drawer to pick up my tablet and get updated on how many designs have been sold or ordered, when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. “Oww!” I exclaimed due to the pain I felt, and my hand flew to my stomach. It suddenly dawned on me that I have had pains like this over the years, but they were very mild, and I didn't seem to take them to heart.I held in the first pain, but as I tried to move, the pain pricked me again.“Oww!!” I exclaimed sharply again and tried to sit on the bed slowly.I took in a series of breaths slowly to see if this would ease the pain. After a couple of minutes, the pain subsided and was gone. I shut my eyes for a m

    *BRAN’S POV*“Sir, I have rounded up the offender case” Pierre reported.“Good,” I said over the phone.“There is something else sir” Pierre quickly added before I could end the call.“What is it?” I asked, my curiosity suddenly awakened.“So I had made an acquaintance with one of the cops at the station during Mrs Sophia’s kidnapper’s case” Pierre reported.This got me interested and I became quite eager to know more.“Okay?” I asked.“At that time, I had asked him a couple of questions but he couldn't give me a direct answer because of his position so he only showed me a picture of the two guys who were supposedly arrested for bullying that same night,” Pierre added.“You mean that same night those two guys were thrown in the cell turned out to be the same day the kidnapper died?” I asked.“Yes, sir, which I suddenly found suspicious……but that's not the point, the point now is that I just saw one of those guys getting into a car with Mrs Jane’s assistant” Pierre reported.“What?……yo

    *BRAN’S POV*I stood there, surprised and baffled at the same time about what Liam said about Sophia. I couldn’t help but ponder what he meant by those words. But deep down, I knew that there was something Sophia was still keeping from me. I didn’t want to poke around so I don’t trigger her, with hopes that she will come around and tell me. ********************************************************************Liam left the front of the hall and followed the path his secretary followed, and met up with him at the parking lot. “I am sorry, sir…… I lost him,” the secretary said as he bowed his head in disappointment.Liam sighed as he looked around, quite displeased that his secretary had lost the young man. “It’s fine… let’s go,” Liam said and walked out of the parking lot, followed by his secretary.They both got to the car, got in and drove off. *BRAN’S POV*I still stood by the entrance when my phone rang; it was a call from Pierre.“I have him, sir,” Pierre said over the phone.

    Just as I was about to elaborate more on the brand, a jarring crackle ripped through the sound system, and the crowd collectively gasped.My eyebrows furrowed as the large LED screen behind me which was displaying close-up images of my designs flickered. The beautiful imagery of my Collections has been replaced with warped, random, and nonsensical images, and the background music is discordant and off-key. I stood there frozen’ my heart beating as though it was beating against my rib cage. Bran stood the moment the issue started and called out to the technicians to have it fixed immediately. People in the audience exchanged confused glances, while some laughed nervously and others looked increasingly uncomfortable. The technical team rushed towards the stage, their faces filled with a mix of confusion and growing alarm as they tried to fix the problem. Bran walked up to the stage where I stood and led me off the stage gently to a seat, and then he went back up to the stage.“We a

    I was lost in thoughts and questions when a notification popped up on my phone. It was a message from Tessa telling me about the finalization of the banners for the launch later today. I picked up my phone and replied to the message.The new design launch is today, and my father’s birthday party is in three days. Maybe this is how things were supposed to turn out for me. I had planned to take back my father’s company, but now I am the one running it. I had planned to get married to Bran, make him love me wholeheartedly and then divorce him after a year as revenge for what I went through six years ago. But these past few days, I can’t seem to understand myself. Sometimes, I feel drawn to him, and my initial plans tend to recede from my mind. I suddenly heard a faint thud, and it seemed to come from the kitchen. I turned around to the direction of the kitchen and wondered what could have made such a sound. Mrs Reeves wouldn’t be in the kitchen at a time like this cause it’s already
