CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

*HENNA’S POV*I have not received a solid or definite response from my sister, Sophia since my dad talked to her about my suggestion.I needed to move in real quick and put my plans in motion and I could not waste any more time. Being the eldest child and having a step-sister shortly after the death of my mother pushed and convinced me more not to work for anything but instead guilt trip my Dad and step-sister into doing my bidding or giving me what I wanted. My dad had finished talking to someone over the phone when I approached him in the living room.“Still no response from Sophia?” I asked and sat right opposite him.“She has not said anything to me nor called me since that day” “Are you certain she is not doing this on purpose? I think she is trying everything possible to cut ties with us. What if all of this is just an escape plan out of this family for Sophia?” I instigated.“Escape plan? I must say that is too much of an accusation Henna” “Too much? Then you don't know Sop

*MRS JANE’S POV*I sat in front of the house, legs crossed, going through my tab when Mrs Reeves approached me.“Did you send my message?” I asked.“Yes, madam, she will be with you shortly,” Mrs Reeves replied and was about to take her leave.“Hold on, I need you to do something else for me.”“What could that be, madam?”“I want you to watch every one of Sophia’s moves and report back to me,” I said and took a gulp from the juice. “Every one of her moves?”“Are you deaf or dumb, or both?!”“Sorry, madam.”“I would assume you know what to do from henceforth, Mrs Reeves.”Mrs Reeves turned around and walked away from where I sat. After a couple of minutes, I saw Sophia walking towards the house.“Sophia, I thought you wouldn’t honour my invitation,” I teased.“Oh, of course not, why would I not?” she said.“I am actually surprised you would want to see me,” she said. “I don’t think there is a law that forbids the madam of the house from seeing the newest wife and member of the family

BRAN’S POV*“Welcome back, sir.” Mrs Reeves avoided the question I asked and greeted me instead.“What is going on here?” I asked again and hoped for someone to explain.“Bran, you're back,” Henna commented.She quickly came to my side and clasped her hands into mine, and I instinctively removed my hand.“That is not what I asked.” “Well if you insist…..this old hag here refused to move my things from the guesthouse to the main house so I taught her a lesson” she said confidently. “The main house? And who says you will be staying in the main house?”“I did,” she said and looked at me with eyes that threatened to spill secrets. I turned to Mrs Reeves, who still stood there.“I am sorry about this…..you can take her things into the main house” “Okay, sir.”Mrs Reeves turned and left the scene to bring Henna’s things, as I ignored Henna and went ahead into the main house while she followed.Sophia was already downstairs in the living room, quite busy on her laptop when I walked in wi

*HENNA’S POV*I was pained that Sophia had already resumed work at her company while I was still trying to figure out a way out for myself. Just then, my Dad called me on the phone.“Henna, you did not call to let me know how you settled in over at the Garners' residence.”“I am sorry, Dad, I got caught up in other things.”“I hope you are not in any way uncomfortable over there. If it is something you can not bear or handle, you can always come back home.”It felt like he wanted me to return home, but I was not going to give in to that.“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, Dad, there is a reason why I am here, remember?” I pulled my things closer to myself and hoped to arrange them, but the call proved to be a distraction.“Yes, yes, I remember dear……how is your sister by the way?”“You did not hear about the latest news?”“What is that?”She was appointed back to her company, I am sure she is at work right now,” I said with discontent.“Reappointed? But that was not the whole

*SOPHIA’S POV*I suddenly realized that he had been hugging me for quite some time, and that made me uncomfortable, so I broke away from him first.“Can we not get physical?” I quietly asked as I took two steps away from him slowly.“I am sorry, I got carried away,” he said as she adjusted his stance and his suit.“Why are you here?” I asked.“You did not show up at the office and that had me worried, I figured I would check up on you, only to find out that you are here…..are you okay? Are you hurt?” “I am fine, I was not the one who got hurt. One of my staff got injured at the facility…. I had to escort her to the hospital.”“Oh, I am sorry about that. I hope it was not a serious injury?”“No, she got some stitches already.”“I would have handed over the documents to you here, but I was in a haste and didn’t bring them with me, I didn’t even think you’d be here.”“No, it’s fine.”Just then, Pierre came closer to Bran and whispered something to him.“I have to get back to the office
