Sophie

The hospital smell still clung to Eve’s sweater when I buckled her into the passenger seat.

She kept looking at me. And it was not in a normal way. It was in that curious way children had when they were trying to solve a mystery.

I started the car.

She tilted her head. “Auntie Sophie?”

“Hmm?”

“Do we look alike?”

There it was again. I forced a small smile. “We talked about this.”

“I know,” she said quickly. “But do we?”

“Yes.”

“How?”

“Because I’m your mother’s sister.”

She squinted at my

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 94

    Sophie I drove faster than I should have.It wasn't dangerously fast like you see in the Fast and Furious movie, but it was fast enough that my thoughts couldn’t catch up with me.Alexander’s voice kept replaying in my head.‘Did Derrick ever bring you here?’I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.“Unbelievable,” I muttered.I still couldn’t believe he had asked me that. And the way he said it too, so casual, like it was nothing… like it wouldn’t mean anything to me… like I didn’t have a history with Derrick that already annoyed me enough without people reminding me every five minutes.I exhaled sharply.“You know what, Alex,” I said to the empty car, “you really know how to ruin someone’s day.”By the time I turned into my uncle’s street, I had already decided I was going to ignore Alexander for the rest of the day.Maybe the rest of the week.Okay, maybe not the week.But definitely today.I pulled up in front of uncle Peter's house and parked.Something felt off immediately.T

    Sophie The car slowed down two streets later.I kept a safe distance behind it, trying not to look like the world’s worst spy, which I probably already was.The car turned left, then right. It finally pulled into the parking area of a building I didn’t recognize.I slowed down too. My heart was beating faster than it should have been.“This is ridiculous,” I muttered under my breath.The car parked, and the engine went silent.I parked farther away, trying to look like someone who had absolutely nothing to do with that vehicle.For a moment, nothing happened.No one came out, no doors opened.I stared at the windshield.Was it even him?Maybe I had followed the wrong person.Maybe I had just spent the last ten minutes chasing a random stranger like a lunatic.I leaned forward slightly, trying to see better.Then the driver’s door opened… and he stepped out.Alexander.Of course it was him.I leaned back in my seat slowly.“Well,” I whispered, “this just got awkward.”I watched him cl

    SophieDropping Eve off at school took longer than it should have.It was not because of traffic or anything related to parking. It was basically because Eve had suddenly decided she had a thousand questions she needed answers to before stepping out of the car.She sat in the passenger seat, staring at the school gate like it had personally offended her.“I don’t want to go,” she said for the third time.“You said that already.”“I mean it this time.”“You meant it the first two times too.”She sighed dramatically and leaned her head against the window.“School is too early.”“It’s eight o’clock.”“That’s early.”“It’s normal.”She turned to me. “Do you think Uncle Alex wakes up this early?”“Yes.”“No he doesn’t.” She rolled her eyes and looked at me. “And I mean it.” “Eve, he does.”“He looks like someone who sleeps all day.”I laughed. “You’ve known him for one day.”“That’s enough.”She crossed her arms. Then suddenly asked, “Is he coming to pick me up after school?”My hands tig

    SophieAlexander was laughing.This was not the small smirk he usually gave people, or the quiet chuckle he tried to hide when someone said something stupid.He was actually laughing.And I was the reason.We were walking down a street I didn’t recognize. Somewhere warm. Somewhere bright. People were everywhere, but no one seemed to bother us. Some even stopped to look at us… not in a bad, but in a curious way, like they were trying to figure something out.“Are they models?” someone whispered.“No,” another person said. “They must be celebrities.”Alexander rolled his eyes when he heard that.I laughed and nudged his arm. “You heard that.”“I hear nonsense every day.”“That wasn’t nonsense.”“That was exaggerated nonsense.”A woman walking past us stopped and smiled. “You two look beautiful together,” she said.Alexander nodded politely. “Thank you,” he replied.I looked at him sideways. “You didn’t argue with that one.”“I pick my battles wisely.”“Oh really?”“Yes.”“And what made

    AlexanderMalik didn’t move immediately after I said it.“Lisa?” he repeated.“Yes.”He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Since when do you call her Long?”“That’s not your concern.”Malik leaned one shoulder against the doorframe instead of leaving.“Right,” he said slowly. “And since when do you call employees into your office personally?”“Since today.”“That’s interesting.”“Malik.”“What?”“Do your job.”He tilted his head. “You know what’s funny?”“I’m sure you’re about to tell me,” I replied flatly.“You’re acting like someone who definitely has something going on.”“Nothing is going on.”“With Lisa?”“Yes.”“That sounded too fast.”“Malik.”“Relax,” he said, raising both hands in mock surrender. “I’m just asking.”“You’re assuming.”“I’m observing.”“There’s nothing to observe.”He looked at me for another moment.Then he smiled faintly. “You know, if there was something going on, I’d say you’re playing a very dangerous game.”“There isn’t.”“Good,” he said casually.But he didn’t

    Alexander I read the same line in the file three times.You know, three times can look like a lot…And I still had no idea what it said.The paper sat in front of me on my desk. Numbers. Contracts. Figures that normally would have my full attention.Today, they meant nothing, because my mind kept drifting back to the same thing.Long.Or rather… Lisa.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my temple.This was stupid.I had handled bigger problems before. Bigger risks. Bigger secrets.But this one… this one had the potential to explode in a way I couldn’t control.She was my employee.That alone was already a problem. But that wasn’t the real problem.The real problem was time.Secrets had a way of surviving for a while and then suddenly collapsing all at once.People talked.People noticed things.And when the truth came out … and it always did … it would not be quiet.I stared at the ceiling.Who are you going to get rid of? Me or her.Her voice from last night replayed again in my he

    Alexander I had planned to get a quick drink from Andreas, but as soon as I got here, I thought against it. Aside from it being the best to unwind, it is offering me a perfect view. I tried to look away but I kept turning back to look at that toned back on display. Her gown was a typical show ba

    Sophie I stirred the sauce in the pot, letting the rich aroma of tomatoes and garlic fill the kitchen. It’s one of those evenings where the silence feels heavier than usual, like it’s reminding me I’m alone. Celine was supposed to drop by after work, but she texted that she was tired and needed s

    AlexanderThe weight in my hands felt lighter than usual, not because I had suddenly grown stronger, but because I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the motion—up, down, breathe, repeat. The gym was the only place where I could escape the constant noise of the office, the endless demands,

    SophieI watched him walk away, broad shoulders stiff, fists still balled like he expected Donald to jump out from behind a tree and try again. Something in my chest twisted—not gratitude, just the uncomfortable pressure of knowing I owed him something I wasn’t ready to give. I cleared my throat.
