Sophia's POV

My head began to spin, the world turning like a carousel out of control. I stood up so abruptly that the chair almost fell backward.

"Michael... who are you people? What else are you hiding from me?"

He reached out, trying to calm me. "Soph, please sit down. Let me explain properly."

"Is this woman my mother? My aunt? Who is she, Michael?" My voice sounded shrill, almost unrecognizable.

"I don't know, love. I swear I don't know." His eyes pleaded for understanding. "I don't understand either why Alexander had those documents, or why..."

A bitter laugh escaped my lips, not from amusement, but from pure desperation. "I need to be alone. I need to think."

"Don't go out now, Soph. You're too upset." He stood up, blocking my path.

"I think you should be more concerned with the fact that you hid this from me all this time!"

I shouted, my hands trembling. "While I was going through all of this, you knew and stayed silent!"

When I turned to open the door, my hands were so unstea

  • The Billionaire Replaced Me With My Assistant    Chapter 157

    Sophia's POV Michael turned over again in his sleep, his back to me, unaware of my presence.With my heart hammering against my ribs, I navigated through his unlocked phone. My hands trembled so much I almost dropped the device.The first thing I saw was the call log. Dozens of them. Incoming and outgoing. All to the same name:Vanessa Sterling.A wave of nausea rose in my throat.'Sophia, how can you do this to him? After everything he has proven? You are the worst woman in the world.'I promised myself that, after this, I would never invade his privacy again. But the promise disintegrated when my finger touched the messages icon.Most were work conversations: suppliers, the office, bank alerts.Nothing out of the ordinary.I was almost convincing myself of my mistake, about to return the phone, when a new notification popped up at the top of the screen.'Vanessa: Hey, are you awake? I can't sleep.'My finger froze.Then, driven by an impulse that felt like fate, I tapped.The conve

    Sophia's POV I closed my eyes tightly. The rage was a volcano about to erupt; tears of pure fury burned behind my eyelids. Richard's face, smiling as he said he had killed my mother, was etched onto my retina. 'Sophia,' a cold, logical voice echoed inside me, the voice I had cultivated over these three years. 'Think. Think clearly. Your instinct is to strangle this man with your bare hands right now, but the plan you've been crafting since Irina's death will reward this calm. He wants to see you lose control. He knows you have the upper hand, that's why he went for this low blow. Those Japanese investors are watching everything. And he could be bluffing, just to hurt you, or to hurt Eleanor through you.' I took a deep breath, the air entering my lungs feeling as if it were cut by blades. I opened my eyes. The tears had dried, leaving only a cold, determined glint. "I expected more from you, honestly," I said, my voice steady, almost disdainful. The cruel smile vanished from th

    Sophia's POV"What is it, Richard? Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?"My voice cut through the air of the restaurant, sounding much calmer than I felt inside.Richard was paralyzed, my hands still on his shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot, the whites marked by red veins.His lower lip trembled almost uncontrollably, as if he were facing not me, but a ghost from his worst nightmare.Two huge bodyguards who had been standing nearby took a step forward. Richard thrust his arm out in a brusque gesture, ordering them to stop.He brought a linen handkerchief to his face, wiping a thin layer of sweat that had broken out above his lip. When he spoke, his voice was barely a whisper, almost inaudible."What are you doing here!?"I completely ignored him. I turned to the three clearly Japanese investors, who were watching the scene with politely neutral but curious expressions.I gave a slight nod and began to speak in fluent Japanese,a language I had learned in my days as an assistant

    Sophia’s POV "Mark, thank you so much. Really. I swear I don't even know how to thank you. This is... crucial." "Sophia, stop it. You don't have to pay me. Don't even think about it." His voice carried an emotional weight. "After everything you did for me, when that board tried to take me down, when Irina set up that whole plot to push me aside... You were the only person who didn't turn their back. Not everything in life has a price." "I know, Mark. And that's exactly why I insist," I replied, keeping my tone gentle but non-negotiable. "Your work has value.Your time, your risk, your expertise. I won't turn our loyalty into an excuse to exploit you. And more importantly: I don't want you, at any point, to have to put yourself at risk for me without that being recognized. That's not how I operate." I heard him let out a long, deep sigh on the other end of the line, a sound of resignation mixed with worry. "Alright. You win. But listen…" His voice lowered, becoming more grave.

    Sophia's POV"Nothing," he whispered back. "Just thinking that, of all the complicated things you have to face, I'm the easy part. And I intend to keep it that way.""Michael Carter," I said, the name coming out more serious than I intended in the already dark room.He stopped adjusting the sheets and turned, his silhouette visible against the faint light from the window."What is it? Is something wrong? Are you cold or something?"His voice was full of the immediate concern that always melted me inside."It's nothing like that, silly," I replied, and the word came out soft, affectionate — one I never used.He froze. "Silly?" he repeated, a tone of disbelief mixed with sweetness. "You don't say things like that, much less call me by my full name. Something's wrong."I sat up in bed, my heart pounding. I raised my hands in the dark, finding his face in the gloom.My fingers traced the line of his jaw,the curve of his cheek, the lips I knew so well. I closed my eyes, taking a deep brea

    Sophia's POVHe was… spectacular. That was undeniable. Tall, with broad shoulders that stretched the impeccable fabric of his navy-blue suit. Blond hair, styled with a care that bordered on art. Eyes of a blue so light they seemed made of ice.And when he entered, a woody, extremely expensive cologne filled the space, wrapping everything in an aura of power and wealth.But, looking at him, I felt nothing. No spark, no stomach flutter. I only felt a sharpened alertness. Beauty like that, so perfect and displayed, was often a trap."Miss Morgan?" His voice was soft, polite, with an indefinable European accent. He extended his hand. "A pleasure."I shook his hand quickly. "Yes. How can I help you?""I will skip unnecessary introductions. I represent a consortium of investors who are very interested in your work here at Morgan Holdings. PetroMax sees extraordinary potential in your latest sustainable energy project."The name landed like a bomb in the silence of my office.PetroMax.Ever
