Dylan knew that Thomas was going to come at him; it was only a matter of time, and unfortunately, Thomas didn't disappoint Dylan."Thomas. If you can't respect anyone in this room, then can't you see me? I'm on the bed, sick, and the next thing you're doing is running into my room like a chicken," he said, causing Thomas to narrow his eyes before walking closer to his grandfather's bed. "Do you know what Dylan did? He willingly gave the Santos family a whopping sum of 1 billion dollars. He didn't even think to consult you or me before doing that.""Grandpa, I know this family is bigger than that, but we wouldn't be if we were just solving problems that don't really affect us like that." He said, causing Victor to run his hand through his hair."Sophia is family and...""She's family, and getting married would only benefit this family even more. Why not let her get married? Besides, it was her mother that risked her life like that and not us," he said.Victor scoffed, but before he co

Dylan made sure that a bottle of water and a glass cup was close to Victor before saying, "if you need anything or even feel the slightest pain, then you should alert somebody." Victor smiled. "I will," he said, and then he left the room.As Dylan walked out of the room, he found Thomas waiting by the stairs for him. "Hey, I want to talk to you," He said, sounding rather too disrespectful for Dylan to even turn towards him."Can't you hear me? I want to talk to you," he repeated, but Dylan kept up with the attitude, pretending like he wasn't hearing a single word."Have you suddenly turned deaf or is it that you think You're on top of the world just because you know something about me?" He asked and Dylan scoffed.He turned to him and said, politely, "Get out of my way; I'm going to see my daughter." He said, trying to walk past him but each time he made a move, Dylan was standing in his way."Where are you going? Look, LF is none of your business. I don't know how you found out abou

Dylan sighed as he subconsciously watched them. The thought of what Emma said lingered in his head, but he knew he wouldn't be able to stand by the door anymore, so he knocked gently before revealing himself."Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said, and they both shook their heads."Alright. How are you, Emma? Have you had lunch?" Dylan asked and she responded with a nod."Yeah. I have; they don't let me miss a meal in this house. They make sure I have all I want," she said, causing Dylan to nod; he didn't expect less because Emma was to be given all the attention that she needed.Running his hand through his hair, he shifted his gaze to Sophia and said, "Emma, I want to borrow Aunt Sophia for..." He paused, checking his watch for the time before continuing."1 to 2 hours,""Where are you going?" She asked."Well, something happened today, so I'm trying to avoid that in the future. I want to take her to the court so that she can sever ties with her mom's family," he infor

After Dylan read his text, he shoved his phone back into his pocket, increasing his pace to his room.For some reasons, Sophia had a million and one thought in her head; she was curious to know what was going on in Dylan's head."Do you think my daddy is upset? I didn't ask for the ice cream, Aunt Sophia; he willingly wanted to get it for me, right?" She asked, and he responded with a nod."Your daddy is not upset with you, honey. You did just great in the car some seconds ago, alright." She said, reassuring, and Emma responded with a nod, being as cute as she could possibly be.She sighed and took Emma to her room; after doing that, one of the staff went to attend to her, wanting to make sure she was clean and the like.Sophi decided to go down to the kitchen to make something perfectly light for her grandfather to try.It didn't take her a minute to decide on the food, and after that, she started the preparation. Sophia was distracted one too many times; most of the times were by he

Sophia just nodded and swallowed hard before walking back to the bed. She poured water into the glass cup and passed it to Victor."Have some," she said.Victor took the water from her but he was barely able to drink half of the water. "Have more water; you need it." She advised but he just held the cup for a few second, trying to drink more water but each time she tried, he wasn't able to take more than a sip from the glass of water.Seeing that he was truly satisfied with the water he had before, she sat back on the chair, rubbing her palms together. "Is something wrong, Sophia? You've not been yourself since you got into this room." Victor said.Sophia, who was absent-minded, instantly sat up properly, composing herself. She said, "I'm good; you shouldn't be worrying about me now. You should be worrying more about yourself and hope to recover first." Victor instantly shook his head disagreeing, "You're my grandchild, and I brought you here from afar. It doesn't matter if I'm dying

Sophia sighed; if there was one thing she really hated, it was competition. The sound of it irritated her, and most times, she backed out of anything that seemed like a competition."I don't like the sound of that," she murmured, and the old man just smiled."I know. I know you wouldn't because right from when you were little, you've never liked the sound of completions," he said, causing Sophia to nod.She sat back on one of his chairs and whispered quietly, "I don't think Dylan might be attracted to her. He probably just thinks she's worthy of being one of the company's business partners," she said, causing Victor to respond with a nod.Sophia sat there for a few minutes, then, believing that she was just being delusional, said, "Honestly, Grandpa, I don't think he's ready for anything right now. He's just trying to focus on his child, if I'm correct. I've seen the way he acts around that girl, and everything is about her now," she said, causing Victor to try to sit up.He ran his h

As Sophia passed Dylan by the door, she made sure she lowered her gaze so that he wouldn't see her eyes.After she left the room, Dylan moved closer to Victor's bed and asked, "Is something wrong?""She'll be fine." Victor paused and gazed down at his hand.Dyla knew something was wrong and with the way Victor looked, it almost seemed like he stopped his chance of getting to know what was wrong."I came in here to check on your health and to inform you that tomorrow morning, I'm heading to Sophia's mom's residence for us to have a small conversation during tea," she said, causing Victor to respond with a nod."She's worried that nothing we do is going to effectively work," he said, causing Dylan to sigh."You'll have to leave that to me then; let's see if nothing we do will be in vain," he said and checked his time on his watch.After checking his time, he pooped his fingers and stood upright before saying,"I think I should leave now; you need to get some rest, and I don't want to co

They continued the drive for 30 short minutes until she got tired, and they packed for a while. She got down from the car after Dylan did and watched the view from where she stood. "This looks so beautiful, Dylan..." She murmured, and he softly responded with a gentle nod."This is nature's own way of showing us how the simplest and most overrated things in this world are beautiful." He said, and Sophia couldn't help but nod in agreement.She didn't have much to say, and at the same time, she just wanted to enjoy the view in silence.They stood there, leaning on the car as day got darker right in front of them."You have a pure soul and so does your child. It's hard to see men that think the way you do. All we have these days are the wealthy and men who want to get married to the most sought-out woman so they feel like a king.""And sadly, he won't stay loyal to his wife after getting married. What happens after that is just depending on how bad the man is, and some women have subject

Rachel gingerly placed her hand on his shoulder, trailing them down as she murmured, "You can share this plan with me, you know that, right?" I know Dylan well enough to tell his weakness."Okay, what are his weaknesses?" He asked, causing Rachel to pause; she tried thinking about it, but nothing came to her mind."What's wrong? You just realized that you were actually absent in your own marriage?" He asked, wanting to slowly take off the see-through dress she was in.His eyes had fed on her boobs long enough, and all he wanted was his lips on them. "I was just too busy trying to work on my company; you can't blame me for that..." She passed out instantly, as if realizing something."Emma... His weakness is Emma," she smirked and took her hands back to his shoulder, this time more intimate."But I don't want to involve her in this. She's still a child," She said and took her hands down to his belt."Let's have fun today and stop worrying about worthless Dylan. Maybe when we've had fun

Thomas smiled and reached into his pocket before going straight to a website that the Sterling family partnered with. "They sell clothes here. As a replacement for your dress, let's order you a new one first," he said and left his phone with her to look through the options.Rachel went through the dresses on the website while Thomas walked towards the mirror in the room.He gazed at his reflection in the mirror and ran his hand through his hair before loosening his hair while gazing at her through the mirror."I can see that you're looking at me," she said, causing Thomas to smirk."I like you," He murmured, briefly causing Rachel to gaze at him for a split second before shifting her gaze back to Rachel. "You're fierce. I like that about you, and you look hot in that red dress," he complimented, causing Rachel to narrow her eyes."Sadly, I wore it for you, but when I wanted you to appreciate it, you didn't," she said."What do you mean?" He asked, arching his brows as he pretended to
