บททั้งหมดของ The comeback of the billionaire heiress : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

DAMIENI grabbed my phone from my bedside and dialed Sophia’s number. She picked on the second ring but sounded drowsy. She must have fallen asleep once she got home and I started to feel my anger dissipate at that thought.Sophia was slowly becoming a weak point for me and I was just realising it. Was this how she got into Aiden’s head too and won his heart?“Hey Damien. Is anything wrong? You called” she said sleepily and I shook my head even though she couldn’t see me.“Just thought of checking up on you, but I didn’t realize you’d be asleep by now. You must be so tired, huh?” I asked her and for a moment, she was quiet.“Yeah, yeah. I never knew that hosting an event would be this tiring but thankfully, it paid off. We got a lot of donations and it’s going to go a long way for us” she said. Her sleepy voice was slightly filled with excitement while she spoke about the foundation and I smiled to myself… she really loved that foundation and the people she helped.“So, did you just

SOPHIA“What are you doing?” I asked Aiden, my voice surprisingly low and weak as he remained close while looking me deep into my soul. He smiled.“Getting an up close look at your face. I want to be sure you aren’t lying about Damien to me” he answered and my breathing was slowly getting faster the longer he stayed close.“You’re engaged, Aiden. So quit your bullshit and move away before I'll have to call the security” I warned but he didn’t move away.“You wouldn’t”“What?” “You won’t call the security, Sophia. I know you and I know you don’t mean what you just said” he smiled knowingly and his words replaced my flustered state with anger.So I pushed him away and he quickly caught himself before falling. With that, he stood up and I watched him all along with an angry glare. How dare he tell me he knew me?“Stop fooling yourself and give up on whatever stupid plan you've got in mind because you don't know me anymore, Aiden. The Sophia you were married to died the moment you gave

SOPHIA I shut my laptop and placed it in my bag. Then I looked at Damien who had been watching me closely since I didn't let him kiss me.His gaze bothered me so I took it as my cue to leave.“I've got to head back to work on the project's proposal and I'm sure Janet is waiting for me at the office” I told him before he stood up.“Let me walk you to your car then” he offered and I knew it was best to let him have his way. So I nodded and led the way until we were in the elevator.We got to my car in the parking lot. Then I reached for the door to get in and I almost flinched when he placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me around to face him.“Let me know if anything is wrong, alright” “Sure, Damien. Goodbye” I replied and he surprised me with a kiss on the cheek. Then he pulled away and smiled at me.“You want it slow and steady, right?” He said convincingly.I just nodded in response so he could have his way with whatever he thought and I entered my car when he finally took

AIDEN“Forget it, uncle. Sophia now hates you with all her guts. So just give up and move on” Clara told me as we got into my car after her free class and I snapped my head toward her.“Why would you say that, Clara?” I queried but she shrugged, not showing an ounce of guilt.“I mean… It's been a week and some days since I started my classes but you haven't made any progress with her yet. She hates you, she hates the fact that you keep coming to her office, and let's face it…”“You are literally cheating on Isabella which is a yucky thing to do. So quit it all. I can go to classes on my own” she replied but I wasn't having any of that. Her security was important and as long as she remained my niece, a member of my family, I wasn't going to take the risk and let her get in danger. So I was going to watch her myself.“Not happening. I don't care if Sophia hates me, I'm taking you there myself” I told her and she huffed while throwing her head back.“Is it because of the accident that y

SOPHIA All night, I was up working on the proposal for Damien.I didn’t want to give him a chance to scold me or suspect I was up to something else instead of writing up the proposal.So I researched as best as I could, and put up the proposal in my best capacity. Just to impress Damien… and make it up to him for how stale things were between us the last time I was in his office.I flinched when my alarm began to ring and I quickly turned it off before leaving for the bathroom to have a long morning bath.Soon, I was all dressed and ready. I drove myself to Damien's office first thing to see him and he was already waiting with a bright smile he flashed at me which brought me relief.“Hi, Damien. I only finished the proposal's draft this morning so I don't know if you'll be satisfied with it quite yet” I quickly informed him while I closed the door to his office after me but he shrugged.“Doesn't matter. The presentation isn't tomorrow so we have time and room for corrections, right?”
