My Godfather is my Soulmate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Alexa's POV Tears stung at the corners of my eyes as his words reverberated through the large office space, bouncing back to my ears. I couldn't bear the harshness, nor could I bear the man from whom those words were coming. "You're a worthless piece of shit! Just take a look at what you have caused! We lost all those millions because of you!" he screamed. "Dad…" I began. "What is it, Alexa? Are you ready to explain how these documents were signed?" he demanded, flinging the papers at my face. The tears that had stung at the corners of my eyes now clouded them, threatening to spill down my face. "I don't know anything about those papers, Dad. I wasn't the one who signed them." He snorted at my words. "But those are your damn signatures! If you weren't the one who signed them, then who did? Who freaking did?" His eyes burned with fury as he glared back at me. I had to bend my head when I could no longer stand the heat of his gaze. Just then, the office doors opened, and t

Alexa's POVI sat down opposite him, stunned from his sudden change of mood. He didn't even wait for me to settle down properly on the chair opposite his before launching into a rundown of the business. It was all facts and figures, a fast-paced gush of information. He insisted that I had been so soft with my way of running the business, and that was why I failed."So, you see, your father was right. The company's bottom line has been slipping. It's clear you haven't been taking care of the right areas," he said, his voice a low growl.My dad had been on my case about it for months. I knew the numbers were off, but I had been focused on building up into new markets, on creating a vision for the company's future. My dad had always been worried about the bottom line, and now Don Antonio was singing the same tune."I know the numbers aren't where they should be, but we've been making progress. The new markets have huge potential. We just need to give it time," I said, trying to keep my

Don Antonio's POV It was damn hard to go to work with Alexa in the office the next day, especially after she had left in anger the previous day. I felt guilty for agreeing to the crazy idea Donald had set me up for. If I hadn't agreed, maybe he wouldn't have gone ahead and fired her from the CEO position. Now I had to make up for it by helping her. She was my goddaughter, and I couldn’t let Elsie, the other daughter who isn't even Donald's biological daughter, take over the company. I couldn’t let her destroy everything Alexa's mother had built over the years. She built Bavarish right from scratch, even before she met Donald and agreed to marry him. I might have acted nonchalant when Donald divorced Alexa's mother and took over her company, but not this time around when I could do something to stop another unfair act. So I went to the office, my heart pounding in my chest. She was already there, sitting at her desk, her emerald green eyes focused on the papers in front of he

Alexa's POV I sighed in relief when I saw my godfather's familiar figure and majestic steps as he came towards me. Seeing him alone washed almost half of the tension gripping my body. "Little Alexa…" he murmured, pulling me into a hug.I clung tight to his embrace as if my whole life depended on it. "Thank you for coming," I whispered.He loosened his arms a little from my body, but didn't release me. "Tell me what happened to your mother."He took me to the nearby chair in the waiting area. I narrated everything that happened to Mom to him. He listened to me, while some of his fingers were unconsciously pulling at the strands of my hair. "The doctors had sedated her for now, but they couldn't promise me anything. I don't know if Mom would be alright or not."He embraced me again, holding me tight onto his chest. "It's going to be alright."He talked to the doctors after consoling me. He couldn't get much out of them since they would have to run some tests on her before they coul

Alexa's POV I woke up with a knot in my stomach the size of a grapefruit. My head throbbed with the remnants of yesterday's emotional rollercoaster. Mom was still in the hospital, and the doctor said that she had another episode early this morning. Regardless of the craziness happening around me, all I could think about was him.Don Antonio. He'd been so kind, taking care of everything while I was a mess. Then there was that moment... the one that made my cheeks burn even now. The way he looked at me, the way he almost… But I couldn't go there. He was practically family, my godfather. Yet, the warmth of his touch on my face lingered, confusing me even more than the situation with Mom.Should I go to work or head back to the hospital to be with Mom? I had to finish up with the lessons my godfather was teaching me. But the thought of leaving Mom alone, vulnerable, made my throat tighten. Did she even need me there? I reached the hospital and sat in the chair beside her bed, taking he
