CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Henna heard the news of Sophia being kidnapped from Mrs Reeves and ever since then, she has been anxious and overthinking. She sat in the office of her newly opened store and was lost in thoughts when her phone started to ring.She got startled and bit her fingernail as she had been biting her nails for over thirty minutes.“Oww” she exclaimed, her eyes squinted as she held in the pain. She put her finger into her mouth and suckled on it for a while as she picked up the call. It was from a number she was well aware of.“What the hell happened? You were supposed to deliver Sophia to me!? My men got there and she was nowhere to be found” The voice over the phone said out of frustration and anger.“I don’t know how things turned out this way but you have to calm down….fussing over this might not solve anything for the both of us” her voice shaky.“You were supposed to bring and detain her at the warehouse until I come and get her……remember, this is what you owe me and I always get what

Henna returned to her father’s house instead of the Garner residence where she was temporarily staying. She met her father by the garden as he sat down, relaxed, and enjoyed a plate of fruits.“Henna, you’re home” he turned and said to her with a smile the moment he saw her coming.“Dad” she muttered, her face downcast as she was worn out from the excessive thinking.“What is wrong? Why is your face this down? Did anything happen on the way? Talk to your father” he pestered, his face reflecting worry and concern.“I am fine Dad, I am just a bit down,” Henna said and picked a slice of pineapple with a tiny fork.“Are you sure? If staying at the Garner’s residence is weighing down on you then you should return home” he said with a stern look and looked away.“Is that how weak you think of me, Dad?” Henna said and dropped the slice of pineapple she had picked out of anger. “That is not what I meant Henna, I just don’t want you taking in the brunt of this strife between you and your sist

Liam and Sophia walked to a nearby cafe because Sophia was not entirely happy with the way Liam reacted.“I am sorry about earlier” He leaned forward and said, his fingers interlocked and on the table.“It's fine, I think I can understand your perspective…. It's also my fault for not telling you about that incident and I am sorry Liam, I really am” Sophia said with remorse.“How did this happen? Who is responsible for this?” worry weighed on his face as he asked.Sophia looked away for a second and looked back at Liam.“Is there something else I don't know?” Liam asked, his eyes glistened with curiosity mixed with concern.“The person responsible was arrested, but then he died a few hours after he was arrested,” Sophia said.“What? Died while in the holding cell?” Liam asked, his brows a bit higher than usual.“That is what we were told by the cops, I didn't want to tell you 'cause I didn't want you to worry,” Sophia said in a low voice.“I will always be worried when it has to do wit

Mr Tyler was seated in his study and had ended the call with Sophia as he placed the phone on the table before him.“Did she say she would come?” Henna inquired, standing right beside her Dad.“She did not say but, of course, she will be present. She must still have a bit of filial duty towards me,” he said with confidence.“I am sure she does, but not as much as I have towards you Dad,” Henna said and smiled.“Of course, that is exactly why you are my daughter” he replied and smiled too.“But what exactly are you trying to do by having Sophia attend my birthday party?” he inquired. “She has been married into the Garner family and has suddenly forgotten the exact reason why she went there in the first place,” Henna argued.“True, she seems to have forgotten….. I heard the Garner Industry would be joining the bidding competition for the new city hall” he said“That is what I heard too, if we still had our company, we might have struck a chance to join in the bidding too,” Henna said.

“Ren prepare the car,” Jane said as she stood from the couch in the main living room.“Yes ma'am,” Ren said and headed out of the house to get the car ready.Jane was dressed as she stepped out of the house and headed to the car with her handbag. Ren opened the car door for her as she got into the car.“Where are we going today ma'am? ” Ren asked as he looked back at Jane.“Why don't we pay Sophia’s office a visit?” Jane said as she applied a red lipstick she brought out from her handbag on her lips. “Yes ma'am” Ren drove the car from the residence and headed to Sophia’s office. *SOPHIA’S POV* I was busy going through some files and trying to finalize all that we needed to make the launch a success when Tessa knocked and walked in.“Thank goodness you're here, please I need to go through the design team drafts once more, I can't seem to place my fingers on it but I just feel something is missing” I quickly said and was deep head into what I was going through in the files.“O
