Married To The Other Brother. Chapter 34.
Sophy.I stretch beneath the sheets, reaching across the bed, only to find the space beside me empty.Adrian is gone.When I open my eyes, the morning sunlight pouring through the windows hits my face, forcing me to shut them again. I lie there, caught between the temptation to steal a few more minutes of sleep and the responsibility of getting up.Then my alarm goes off.I groan and stretch towards my bedside table, fumbling for my phone until I finally manage to switch it off. I pull the duvet down to my waist and stare at the ceiling, still trying to convince myself that getting out of bed is a good idea.It is only when I turn to glance at the empty side of the bed again that I remember I have work.Work.I snatch my phone and check the time.Eight o'clock.“Jesus Christ!”I have barely an hour to get to the office, and judging by how comfortable I am in this bed, I might as well start preparing myself for a query.I check my alarms, hoping to find some explanation for this disast

The breeze sweeps across the helipad at Sinclair Technologies, stirring the edges of our jackets and sending loose strands of hair across Sandra's face. Above us, white clouds drift lazily across the blue sky as the helicopter waits, its blades spinning rapidly. Sandra walks beside me with my briefcase in her hand, while the pilot makes his final preparations. As we approach, I adjust my suit jacket before climbing aboard.A few minutes later, we're in the air, heading for one of our branches in San Diego. On our way, I go through the details of the newly purchased equipment that has been installed at the company's data centre. Although pictures and videos of the installation have been sent to me, I still want to inspect everything myself. I need to be certain that the equipment is properly installed and functioning as it should before we begin operations. The last thing I want is to discover a problem that could have been avoided with a proper inspection.The branch has already bee

His voice comes through almost immediately. “Adrian, what a surprise—”A loud bang interrupts him, followed by a sharp cry that sounds like Jesse, his little daughter.“Jesus Christ!” he exclaims, loud enough to make me pull the phone slightly away from my ear.I hear more movement, followed by another cry and what sounds like Dominic trying to get something out of his daughter's hands. I remain quiet, waiting for him to settle things before continuing.It's hard to believe that the same Dominic who once seemed determined to remain a bachelor is now married with a child.Two years ago, during one of our hangouts, he'd invited me to his wedding. At first, I thought he was joking. Dominic, getting married? I'd never imagined a day would come when he'd settle down with a woman. In fact, I was more open to relationships than he was. I could have sworn he'd eventually become a priest or something.When I realised he was serious, my first question was whether she was pregnant. There had to

I wait for a few minutes before placing another call to her. It rings several times before she finally answers.“Where are you now?” I ask, unable to hide my concern in my voice.Her voice comes through the phone, calmer than it was earlier. “We're in the estate. We're driving towards the house.”I release a breath. At least they're back on the estate grounds.“Okay. I'll be in the room waiting for you.”The call ends, and I return the cork to the half-empty wine bottle before placing it inside the small fridge in my office. I rinse the empty glass in the sink, leave it there for the housekeeper to collect later, then head to my room.I don't wait long before the door opens and she walks in.The moment I see her face, I know she's still shaken. Her movements are slower and slightly staggered. She blinks several times, her eyes wandering around the room.Then she crosses the room and sinks onto the edge of the bed. She doesn't even bother to adjust her position or drop her bag. She sim

Adrian.I settle into my chair and begin to go over the company's financial statement for the last quarter. The legal team has finally resolved the matter concerning the malicious post the blogger published, which means at least one issue is off my plate.My meeting with Beatrice yesterday is still fresh in my mind. The decision to move the succession date forward, the choice she indirectly refused to make public, and the affection she openly shows her other two grandsons, one which I have never received from her.Then there are the board members and the silent alliances that have been formed over the years. Some are bound by lies, secrets and the benefits they stand to gain, while others are genuinely interested in seeing the company grow and remain committed to that purpose, even if they are considerably fewer.Regardless, these things aren't built in a day or two. Years of shared interests, favours and carefully maintained relationships have gone into establishing the influence som

He drives into the garage and brings the car to a halt beside a black SUV that looks exactly like my boss’s.It’s him.Why is he so early?I take a quick glance at my watch. God! It's almost nine.“Here we are,” Adrian says, reaching for his door handle.I instinctively grab his hand before he can open it. “Stop,” I whisper, my attention fixed on Festus.He swings his car door open, steps out, then adjusts his tie using the window as a mirror.Adrian turns towards me, his lips parting as if he’s about to ask a question, but he notices Festus, and immediately understands my little situation. The corners of his mouth lift, and he lets out an amused chuckle at my desperate attempt to keep him inside the car. Fortunately for me, Festus moves away from his SUV. At first, I think he’s heading towards the elevator, but when he changes direction and starts walking towards our car, panic takes over. I quickly duck below the dashboard, hoping he won’t notice me.That’s when Adrian loses it. H
