Semua Bab Broke Up With My Fiance Then Fucked My Brother's Best Friend: Bab 251 - Bab 260

SOPHIA Still feeling confused and worried, I had grabbed my jacket and put on a pair of hiking boots not long after Blake left my room, needing to be somewhere that I did not feel trapped with my own thoughts. Unfortunately, I had not been able to escape my mind, and I was just as anxious several hours later, even after I felt like I had walked for miles. I was an experienced hiker, but I realized that I had thrown every rule of hiking and navigation out the window as I had walked in a daze, paying no attention to anything except my internal thoughts. Damn it. I finally became aware of where I was, and eyed the snow that was still on the ground. Spring was coming, but it had not arrived yet, and I was cold, following a path that seemed like it led nowhere. Pine trees lined the concrete road, and I kept moving when I saw smoke in the distance, quite certain it was someone's fireplace, so there had to be people ahead. I kept moving. Even after hours of thought, I was not any clo

"My parents died in a car accident years ago, so there is just me, Debby, and my three brothers. They all know. Jett told them. Since he got injured on the last mission, he did not have much of a choice. I think they are all trying to get information from different sources. I could not wait any longer. I came to ask Marcus to help when we kept hitting obstacles from conventional methods. I did not realize he had never told anyone but Blake about PRO. Pretty much all of their covers were exposed." "Only to some of the governments," Christine responded. "Basically the very people they did not want to know about them. Our government did not leak the information to the public, so Marcus did not have to tell Aileen or the rest of the family." I thought about how worried this woman probably was about her husband, and I felt guilty. "I am sorry. Really, none of the Roberts family should have had to get involved." "I do not blame you," Christine replied in a quiet voice. "If I had a siblin

He smiled. "I'm meant to be on break. Honestly, I've had more made up breaks since becoming Marcus than actual ones in my whole life."My mouth curved into a small smile. Somehow, I couldn't picture Senator Roberts taking many days off.We traveled much further than I expected, not reaching the entrance to Blake's property for at least fifteen or twenty minutes. "You weren't joking," I remarked. "This looks almost like a farm.""It is," he replied simply. "Mostly cows. I have a breeding program.""You're a farmer?" Okay, I was just a bit taken aback.He rolled down his window and typed in a code to open the gate before answering, "I think most real cattle operations would call me a breeder and this a hobby property. I don't have enough land to truly raise cattle, and that was never my goal. I'm more interested in creating new varieties.""I take it you didn't study political science in university," I said.He laughed and shook his head as he drove through the entrance. "Not at all. En

"I've called in every favor I'm owed in Washington, and I've asked every friend I have there to help."More tears leaked from my eyes as I told him in an unsteady voice, "Thank you."What else could I say to a man who was using every resource he had to try to get my sister out of a hostile area alive?"Not a big deal," he dismissed. "Your sister rescued three American kids.""Debby would never consider herself a hero. Didn't you hear her say not to release any of the prisoners we're holding?""I heard her. Does she speak any foreign languages? Any chance she understands what they're saying?"I nodded. "She understands them. There's very few languages she can't speak, and she spends a lot of time in the Middle East.""Wow," Blake cursed. "Then she has to believe that they aren't going to let her leave there alive.""That's what I'm afraid of right now," I confessed breathlessly.I was so nervous I nearly jumped off the couch as Blake's cell phone rang. I sat up and moved away from him

BLAKE She shot me a playful look over her shoulder. She knew exactly what I was thinking. "Sometimes I do in the beginning, but it eventually works." I laughed as I followed her, still nearly drunk from the light floral scent she left behind as she moved past me. I followed her because I couldn't help myself. "So you don't have a big house in California?" She shook her head as she moved across the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. "I have a condo. There was no point in getting a big house. I'm never home." I knew well that Sophia was wealthy. Her parents had been as rich as mine. "What happened to the rich girl who used to overspend on her parents' credit cards?" "She got cured of most of her selfishness by spending a little time with the homeless," Sophia answered directly. "Now I buy for my needs instead of to impress other people." I knew all of the things she'd learned from her brief period of homelessness had stuck with her. Sophia did more good for people who needed
