ログインI glanced at the building, before I left for my car, knowing that I was going to fulfill the thoughts inside my mind after I was done dealing with James. I could not wait to show his ugly side to the soldiers and to the world, and make him too ashamed to face anyone. What was he thinking when he decided to act out of line? I didn't care about that anymore. All I cared about was putting him in his place.Upon getting to my car, I opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, before driving off to Hustana company, where Demi and Maximus were waiting for me. Though, on the way, I thought about Jordan and decided to call him and tell him everything that had taken place when he was away in Blenka City. He was the only one whom I had not told about James. Of course, Demi knew about James, because I provided her with some information about him in order for her to find evidence against him, but other than that, she had no business with him.And Maximus, although he had an idea that Jame
Soren's pov, As soon as I left Adira's apartment, I confronted Michael and stood in front of him, blocking his path. “What do you want with Adira? Isn't it enough that Nathan hurt her? Why have you gotten so close to her? That's unacceptable. I can't allow you to hurt her! I won't allow anyone to hurt her!”. I said to him while frowning. The thought about how Adira engrossed herself talking with him and forgetting that I existed, was a pain and a direct strike to my chest. “Who told you I wanted to hurt her?”. He asked me, looking offended. “I- I just know that!”. I yelled at him, before pointing a finger at his face and added, “I am warning you, stay away from her”. After saying that to him, I felt goosebumps all of a sudden because the expression on his face darkened unlike anything I had ever seen before. And to make things worse, he started walking towards me without the intention of stopping, making me retreat step by step. “Who do you think you are to order me around? Wh
“Your baby?”. I asked, and she nodded at me. I took a guess in my mind and figured out that she must have adopted the child as her son. Thinking about this, I smiled a little bit. She hasn't changed at all. Always looking out for others. “Adira, don't worry, I am going to get you and your baby a much better gift tomorrow. I promise”. The annoying guy said, and I furrowed my brows at him. What game was he trying to play here? Was he trying to compete with me or what? I wondered, before I paid attention to whatever Adira's reply was going to be. She smiled at him, making my heart clench. I didn't know what was going wrong with me. I didn't understand those weird symptoms that I was feeling in my heart. “Thank you, Soren. But the gifts Michael bought for me and my baby are enough. I don't need or want any other. But thanks for being thoughtful”. She said to him, automatically refusing him without giving it a thought. My heart strangely became calm. I was glad that she refused him.
Commander James’ pov, I walked around impatiently inside my office. I was panicking and was a step away from getting crazy. Michael was never rude to me. The way he addressed me with so much disrespect, only a fool would not be able to tell that he had found out about my dirty secret. A secret I wanted to take to the grave. I hissed, before I went and slammed both hands on my desk. I have not been myself ever since, neither have I been able to sleep with both my eyes shut. Although I had gotten rid of every single piece of evidence, I was restless. Breathing felt like punishment for me.Michael was a smart soldier. I was afraid that he might have discovered something even after I got rid of the evidence. I ruffled my hair, before putting my hands in my trousers’ pocket. “That bastard terrorist. He must have been the one who spilled my secret to Michael”. I muttered and my eyes darkened. After taking a deep breath, I went to open my desk drawer and took out my burner phone from
Soren's pov, I watched her enter her apartment and shut the door, until I could no longer see her. Her words lingered inside my head, and I stood there puzzled for as long as I could count, until one of the workers I had hired asked me a question and brought me back to reality. I replied to him, before my mind returned to what I was thinking about. ‘Did I hear correctly? Or did my ears play a trick on me?’. I thought, and was still trying to understand what happened. ‘Her baby? Her biological baby? When did that happen?’. I thought again, and piece after piece, I felt my heart breaking. I was speechless and did not exactly know what to say. I had no clue that she had conceived a baby for that jerk. That was never mentioned. Or was it? I tried remembering, but so far, I was not able to recall any information about her having a child. Right now, I am broken. I needed to sit down and think. Or perhaps, lay down. After glancing at the door of her apartment o
I arrived inside my office but could not stop thinking while I reviewed some important files. Subconsciously, I checked the time on my wristwatch, and just like that, the time was 9am. Just how fast did time go by? I have not even asked Brooklyn to bring me my coffee. And by 10am, I was supposed to meet with some important figures to form an agreement with them. Should I give Adira a call? What if she thinks I was a pest? I didn't want her to think so. But if I did not call her, I would continue to be restless. I breathed deeply and rubbed my palms on my face. “What has come over me? I don't use to behave like this, nor did I use to be troubled to this extent”. I said, and looked up at the door after hearing a knock. “Boss, it's me”. Brooklyn’s voice came through behind the closed door, and I told her to come in, after I picked up the file which I lost interest in reviewing. She came over to my desk. “Your coffee, boss”. She said to me and gently placed the c
