Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 21- Behind the Mask
Alexander I didn't know what got into my head. I leaned down toward Sophie, who stood perfectly still, lost somewhere deep in her own thoughts. I stepped closer and pressed a kiss to her soft cheek.She completely froze. It was barely a peck, a brush of lips against skin, but she stared at me as though I had knocked the ground out from under her."Good night, Miss Sophie," I whispered, trying to pull her attention back to me.She blinked a few times, like she wanted to conform something, a blush spread across her cheeks, deepening the pink that was already there. Jesus, she was sweet. And sexy without even trying.She cleared her throat. "Good night, Mr. Fox," she murmured, then turned and walked into her apartment. I stayed rooted to the spot until the door closed behind her and I knew she was safe inside.Only then did I get into my car and drive home.All the way, I kept thinking about the day over in my head. Sending her home in a cab earlier had sat badly with me. I couldn't
Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 20- Dear Daddy or Alexander?
Sophie It shouldn't have bothered me to see Alexander with a woman from his past, but it did. She leaned toward him, her hand resting a little too comfortably on his arm, and said they should catch up again. That he'd been so good in bed. She said it casually, as if she were recommending a restaurant. Something in my chest tightened. was it jealousy? Alexander had already told me he was a player. I'd known exactly what kind of man I was dealing with. Still, knowing it and hearing it laid out across a table were two very different things, and the thought that I might run into another of his flings at any moment made me irritated. Stop it sophie. I scolded myself. "I think I have to leave now, Nick." I stood so fast the chair scraped the floor, as if I couldn't bear one more second at that table. God, that was stupid. Heat builds up my neck. What shocked me was that Alexander stood at the very same moment. Nick's eyebrows knitted together at the sudden double movement
Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 19- Silent Jealousy
Alexander "Alexander is here." Nick spotted me first and lifted two fingers in a lazy salute.Then my eyes collided with Sophie's, and I forgot how to breathe.She looked damn gorgeous. But what bothered me was her hand, It rested on Nick's shoulder, so casually, as if she had done it a hundred times before. Nick looked comfortable with it too, and that fucking bothered me more. I had walked in on the tail end of something. She was blushing, laughing at whatever he had said, her head tilted toward him.Then she saw me, and her hand slid away.Hmm Good girl.I made my way to their table, taking my time."Late as always," Nick teased me.I shrugged nonchalantly. "Important work.""Hello, Robert and Miss Sophie." My voice came out soft at the end."Hello, Mr. Fox." She murmured it to the tablecloth, not to me."Sit," Nick gestured me into the chair beside Robert while he took the seat next to Sophie himself. Their closeness grated on me. What the hell was going on? I wasn't the jealou
Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 18- Unwelcome Feelings
Sophie "What" I almost shouted "Mr. Fox will be acting CEO?" I stared at Nick, certain I had misheard the wrong words . "For a few days?" "Yup." He took a slow sip of his black coffee, and looked perfectly calm. "But why, Nick?" I lowered myself into the chair across from his desk. He sighed long and deep. "I have a legal issue back home in Texas, Sophie. I have to see it through in person." My brows knitted together. "Is it really that important? Important enough to hand your seat to someone else?" I hesitated as it was not an easy thing. "Will it be good for the company?" He laughed but his face softened. "That's why I like you Sophie, you always think about the company first. But Alexander is a well-known businessman and my close friend. We'll be fine." "He has his own company," I pointed out. "Yeah. Which is why Robert will officially take charge but in front of everyone, Alexander will be the one leading, so you'll brief him on all the new projects." I swallowed hard,
Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 17- Excitement
Alexander I messaged my baby girl, and we decided to meet again this weekend. Jesus, I was excited as hell, like a teenager waiting for his first date. What the is happening to me? This girl was messing with my head. And the worst part? She wasn't the only one. Sweet Sophie. Just her name was enough to ignite an unfamiliar fire inside me. We had come across each other today, and she was as shocked as I was. She was Nick's favourite employee, it shouldn't have irritated me when he introduced her but it did. The two of them were close, too close to bother me more than anything else. I was sure Nick knew that she was a married woman. She didn't feel like a cheater woman but then again, who knew? Since her husband had cheated on her first. My brows knitted together, my brain started to think something unexpected Why did she remind me so much of baby girl? Even the smell of her perfume was similar. Could they be the same woman? I shook my head. Nah. I don't think so. But
Claimed By My Father-in-Law Chapter 16- Familiar Perfume
Sophie I was still, eyes widened in surprise when I found out Alexander was the new investor. When Nick told me one of his close friends was willing to invest in the company, I thought maybe it would be someone else with the same name. But damn, no. He was the same man, Alexander Fox, who had been haunting my dreams for days. Seeing him after so long awakened something inside me, it felt good.He also looked shocked, like he wasn't expecting me either."Sophie, he is my friend Alexander Fox, CEO of the Fox group, and Alex, she is Sophie, my best and favourite employee."Alexander's expression tightened. Some emotion flickered across his face but he quickly schooled his features and stood, offering me a polite smile that never quite reached his eyes. Did he forget me, or didn't he like seeing me here? To break the awkwardness I offered my hand."Hello, Mr. Fox, nice to meet you." My tone was purely professional. Good Sophie, I praised myself.He stood and took my hand, shaking it sof

SophieYou…I thought I would never see him again."What are you doing here, James?" I said through gritted teeth, the anger building inside me like lava. This cheater man had the audacity to come here even after everything he did to me. The worst part was there was no guilt in his eyes. Not even

SophieI blinked at the man who just saved me from falling. He was so tall, like a giant Alpha. He was dressed in pants and a shirt, and smelled expensive.I gulped. Damn, the man before me was deliciously hot and handsome, and he was in his 40s, still… I can't believe I'm thinking this right now,
