We had one of our best sex that morning, then took a shower afterwards, which led to a little making out.Once we were out, I dressed in one of his sweaters that easily fell to just above my knee, while he put on full clothing.“Alright, let's have breakfast now. Like literally.” I said, smiling at the satisfied smirk on his face.“Why? Are you saying I didn't make you filled enough?” He teased, moving to the bed where he sat.An eye roll was unstoppable, though the smile didn't disappear.“Yeah, I'm still hungry.” I hadn't eaten the whole day after all, I was too nervous about his interview.“That's too bad.” He reached for his laptop by the table beside the bed, opening it and turning it on. “What do you want?” “Anything actually.” I moved to take my phone where I'd left it. “Okay, I'll tell the chef to make something.”With that, I left the room, heading for the stairs.It was only when I unlocked my phone that I realized there was an unread message from Emery.A reply to my las

“What do you mean she fainted after seeing me?” A voice cut through my unconsciousness.“Yes sir,” another voice, “while you and your dad were walking out, she stared out, then fainted all of a sudden.”“You're sure she wasn't sick from the beginning?” The initial voice asked.“No, she seemed perfectly fine when she brought young master here.”What was going on?“Mimi, why is Mimi still asleep?” A voice I couldn't mistake anywhere asked. It was Donald's.“Your Mimi is fine hon,” the initial voice said, “take him to his room. And stay with him.” Oh wait, that was Sam's voice. That gruffiness was one only he possessed.And the second one belonged to the driver.My eyes squeezed tight as I realized I was on a bed. But why?Why was I in bed? Sam and my driver talking.And Donald…Immediately, it rushed back. Sam's father.Sam's father!Instantly, my eyes snapped open, wide as I jumped to my feet, startling both men by the suddenness.“Wha— Emery, you're awake. Thank God.” Sam stepped forw

“Sophie.” I stepped forward, brows dipped in confusion as I pushed the door further open.With a shocked flinch, she turned to me with tear-filled eyes. “What are you doing here?”“Why…”“Were you eavesdropping on me?” She snapped, eyes growing angry as she stood up sharply. “No, of course not.” I defended, brows already falling. “What's going on? Why’re you—?”“Get out.” Her words were gritted. “What? I'm not leaving.” How could I? When I'd already seen her in this much tears.Her face was literally red from a long time in tears, nose almost the same color as her eyes.She looked miserable.“Just…” she bit her lower lip, obviously biting back tears as she fell back on the bed, clutching hard to the frame.My eyes trailed to it too, where a redheaded guy stood, his smile bright enough to lit the picture.“Is that your child's father?” I asked, my voice cautious considering how delicate this was for her.All she did was nod once.As it didn't seem she was going to chase me out, I slo

My mouth hung, shock replacing whatever emotion was there before as I pushed the phone Dale's way so he could read exactly what I just did.*I'm coming for you.* The words ran in my head multiple times, as I stayed unsure what to make out of it. His brows furrowed, most likely sharing in my confusion.“What do you think it means?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as though someone might be outside listening in on our conversation.There was a crease between my brows when he returned my phone and I glanced at the words again like that might clear things up.“I don't know, but…” He got to his feet, causing me to do the same as I watched him bring out his phone from his pant's pocket and dial a number.The person answered immediately, so he placed the phone close to his ears.“Hello,” Dale began, his jaw tight as he spoke to whoever was on the other line, “I'm going to send you a number and you'll let me know who owns it. I'll need you to find that person,” a pause, “No. But it

Dale was silent all through the drive home.After we'd gotten the news from the investigation team that let us know we needed to be more worried than we probably were, he'd gone into full blown concern.He'd made it clear my security must be tightened instantly. I shouldn't ever go anywhere without anyone following.With all this, I figured I was still not as worried as I probably should, and most definitely not close to being as panicky as Dale at the moment.Yes, knowing that the anonymous message guy's number wasn't traceable left a bit of concern, but I still wasn't going to get myself all worked up over it.If this wasn't a prank, it could be a potential business man or woman I'd likely gotten on his bad side with in the past. That'd be funny though, considering how many people I'd made hate me within the business industry.“Doesn't this bother you?” He asked as he steered into the compound, parking the car. “No, and I don't think it should affect you either.” “Why?” It was obv
