Chapter 10
She'd seen enough of his kind of person. People who would claim they were what they were not just to get attention, and it was freaking annoying.And he did it so terribly.From the way her grandfather spoke about this man, he had to be someone old, or even middle-aged, with years and a wealth of knowledge. Composed, with an overflowing aura.And Riley wasn't any of these. He looked like someone who had been dragged from the sewer, and he was far from having anything close to an aura.Until the last minute when he snapped.Again, he wasn't worth the time.Patricia turned around to leave.She expected Riley to run after her, or call her name at least, but none of that happened.This was the usual tactic that people of his nature employed. However, he didn't even budge from the bed.Patricia sneered. *Was this another one of his tactics?* she said to herself.She bumped into Mr. Leonard, who smiled at her, and her eyes widened."Grandpa! I have warned you time after time to stop wasting

Somewhere in the other part of the city, Sophia's face was filled with frowns as she walked away from the house to the office.Throughout the day, she had tried reaching out to Riley, and her calls didn't go through, not even once.Anger and rage flared through her spine, soon dissolving her worries.And as soon as it came, she tossed it from her mind.She had known Riley long enough to know that he would leave over something so trivial, no matter how much of a fuss he made.Taking a sip of coffee, Sophia cleared her mind before she walked into her office.Patricia, her assistant, was already waiting at the door. "How is the progress for the new drugs coming along?" she asked.Then Sophia saw how her assistant shuddered, and she raised a brow."Is there a problem?" she asked, her brows raised the entire time."We hit a roadblock!" Patricia finally said.Sophia shot up from her seat even before the sentence was completed from her lips.Everyone knew that the Biotech medicine showcase w

"I should assume that you helped me? Thank you," Riley was the first to speak."No, I should be thanking you instead!" the man replied with a smile.‘Thanking me?’ The words rang a confused wave in his mind.He tried to remember where he had seen the man before. However, it was impossible to put a finger on it.The grey hair and peculiarly round face didn't strike him like anyone he could remember."Are you trying hard to figure out who I am?" the old man asked, seeing the way Riley's face was enveloped with confusion."That shouldn't be difficult for you, everyone knows me!" the man added.However, it got Riley even more confused because now he was sure he had never seen this face before.And from the way the man pouted with so much pride and confidence, it was a telltale sign that he was someone powerful.But it was understandable.Throughout the years, Riley had been tucked away as a househusband, literally living under Sophia's shadow without a life of his own.He worked directly
Chapter 7
Sophia woke up the next morning to a silent house. Usually, as early as 5 am, Riley’s voice would have already been heard over the counter, cleaning and prepping food for them.She turned, and her face met with Harry's.Last night, he could not sleep because of the trauma of the earthquake. Because he kept twisting and turning with his face filled with so much fright, she had asked him to come over."Is he throwing another tantrum now, and he won't even clean the house?" Sophia grumbled when she climbed down the stairs.When she looked around, there was no sign or trace of Riley anywhere, and her face squeezed into a deep frown, reaching almost to both sides of her ears."He's really throwing a tantrum, isn't he? What does he expect me to eat before leaving?" She glared, and stomped off towards the couch with a fierce look."Riley! Riley!" she called out, expecting him to be there. Then it dawned on her that he really had left.The frown and the fierce look on her face softened.*Did

“You are joking right? Are you really making a fuss again? I already told you how bad his condition is!”His condition was bad. When he was swooped away into an ambulance, his condition was terrible. Indeed, it had to be so bad.“Do you need money for upkeep? Is that why you are making a fuss!” Harry finally said, drawing closer towards the couple with a wide grin spread across his face.The frown that latched onto Sophia's face only grew deeper, and her eyes widened like she had been hit by a sudden wave of realization.“So that's it, that's the reason you've been acting up.” Her face squeezed tightly.“I will double your allowance in that case!” She said it like he wasn't working in the company, like everything she had wasn't built on the legacy he had forfeited while remaining the faithful house husband.Riley's face remained bland, and Sophia frowned.“How can you be so greedy!” she sneered. Still, Riley didn't flinch, a wave of heat coursing through her body and causing her nostr

Just like she came, she was gone, and he was left alone in the room once again.If he eventually divorced her, then he would be able to go through the experimental procedure without needing anyone else to sign for him, since it would be proven that he was a legal adult without a supporting relative or spouse.His hands hovered over his phone as he quickly placed a call to the family lawyer, and soon enough, he had the details of the divorce agreement in his hands.Before he left the hospital, the doctor primarily in charge of his brain tumor treatment came to him with a broad smile stretching from ear to ear.It was unlike anything he had ever seen before, and he could literally see the joy bubbling inside her."Mr. Riley, we have good news. A random donor has decided to pay for the full course of your surgery," she explained."You might want me to reveal the person's identity, but they have opted to remain anonymous, so we apologize that we will not be able to give you any informatio
