Semua Bab 60 Days to Get Married: Bab 61 - Bab 70

I heard a knock on the door behind me and thought maybe it was Carlos who had returned for something, but my distrust made me open the door more slowly than usual. Standing before me was a fair-skinned girl with curly red hair, slightly taller than me. She had an innocent aura about her. She looked at me with her emerald green eyes, and for a moment, she stirred something deep within me, a feeling I couldn't quite describe, but one that made me frown, my hands on the door."Who are you?" I said, my tone curt.The little girl was hugging her shoulders; she seemed cold or disoriented. Perhaps both. She looked at me with a face that told me she wanted to tell me a thousand things, but for some reason, her voice wouldn't come out. She sighed, and it seemed like she was about to faint.For some strange reason, the feeling I got from her wasn't a threat. I opened the door completely, and she practically crawled in; she seemed to be having difficulty, and I was right when I saw her bare feet

The day passed relatively normally, considering I now had a badly injured and apparently abused stranger in my house.Even so, her presence didn't bother me, although it stirred something deep inside me that I wasn't sure how to describe. It did make me feel less alone; it was something different and new amidst everything that had been happening recently, to say the least.While I tried to distance myself slightly from everything that was happening, the burden of work and having to take care of Olivia a little more than necessary was settling in very deeply. But if I got married, what would happen to her?I couldn't just throw her out on the street, but maybe when I recovered my assets, I could come and find her a good place to stay.I can't believe I grew fond of her so quickly that I was thinking about securing her future, as if my life depended on it... well, maybe not mine, but hers certainly did.I turned to look at her; she was on the sofa, watching television with tenderness, a

I clenched my nails with a force I didn't know I still possessed and turned to see Carlos standing before me. He had an expression that told me he'd heard everything, but then I returned to his question.My hand automatically went to my cheek and I felt a tear fall down it.The anger and the mix of emotions in that moment made me walk beside him as if I hadn't seen him and head towards Sofia, but a hand grabbed my wrist tightly.I pulled hard, but he only tightened his grip."Let go, right now," he said, in a low voice."That's your other ex-boyfriend, isn't it? The one you met right after you broke up with me," he said, nodding towards Roy."He's..." I paused, looking at him. "He's nobody. What's it to you?"I pulled my hand away again, but his knuckles were white from squeezing so hard, and it was hurting. I glanced discreetly around and saw that some people were watching, and a few were on their phones trying to hide their reaction."Carlos, stop."He looked at me intensely, as if

Sebastian's POV.I stood outside Sofia's apartment with two bags in my hands and a feeling that something was wrong.I did a very thorough investigation into Sofia's life to learn more about her and her father, and I never knew he had an illegitimate daughter. Well, again, the private investigator couldn't give me many details about my mother's past or Mr. Reign's past either, and all I have is that stupid photo of them together when we were young. As if someone really tried to hide every piece of information I could get from them.I started walking and left the building to get in the driver's seat of the car, trying to remember what I had come to do, but my mind was completely blank.I had to get back to my office, but my body was on autopilot. I went straight to a DNA clinic. I had thought about going to the private doctor who did the last test, for me and Sofia, but this whole thing with Sofia's supposed sister was making me uneasy.The result Sofia and I got was 6.25% relativity,

For a moment I doubted what was happening. I was holding the hand of a young man, of Eastern Russian descent, who seemed to possess great power: Anatoli.On the other side of the room stood a Russian man, about two meters tall, with killer skills, looking at us as if we were old friends: Ivan.And I was at a point where I didn't know what to do. So I let go of Anatoli's hand and settled back on the sofa, with a disturbingly comfortable discomfort."I'll get straight to the point. You're Lucas Clark's cousin, right?"I swallowed discreetly and nodded."Are you a good cousin or a bad cousin?" he asked with a Russian accent."Bad... I guess? We don't get along well. I imagine you already know that, since you know Ivan kidnapped me because of that idiot," I rambled."Good. So... Sofia, as you know, Lucas is involved in some very dangerous things. The most important for us is drug trafficking and illegal gambling."I was speechless for a moment. What did that have to do with me...?"Your f
