The Adopted Heir Chapter 130
“Please can you repeat what you said earlier?” Alex reiterated, still shocked by the news.“I said that my team and I are so sorry to announce to you that she lost the baby. We did our best to save her but the poison in her system would have succeeded in killing her if it didn't kill the baby.” The doctor repeated while he thought that they didn't hear him the first time.“Shit!” Alex cussed out and punched the closest wall. This motion startled both the doctor and Cynthia who was too dumbstruck to say anything. “Um… we didn't know that she was pregnant.” Cynthia finally speaks.The doctor looked surprised at this. It was then that he realised that they asked him to recap what he said earlier not because they didn't hear him but because they were hearing it for the first time– they were shocked at the news.“She was a few weeks gone from the scan we carried out on her earlier… precisely 4 weeks gone.” The doctor answered. He saw how the news disoriented Alex– how he was going around
The Adopted Heir Chapter 131
‘Kaboom’ Alex's fist lands on Victor Mancini's face.“You had the nerve to try to kill my girlfriend. You must really be fearless.” Alex spat. Over the past 10 minutes after Sophia's call, he had been with the Kingston family, or better put– the notorious four. They were tied up in circles with their backs to each other on the floor. He had the urge to just end them completely, but he knew that the law would take its course no matter his status in society. He had to come home after hearing the news of Sophia's miscarriage. He had to look for where to let out his anger and the only place that came to his mind was the perpetrator's body. He wanted them to feel half of what he was feeling right now. This is very much unlike him but they have done more than enough, whom much is given, much is expected also.“As I said earlier, your girlfriend was not the target. We wanted you to be the one to take the drink but no! Sophia had to get in the way of our revenge. Well, I guess that half-bread

The ladies knew that they were in for a lot. They trembled in fear and strikes of tears ran down their faces, “Please spare us.” Cassandra pleaded in a shaky voice. She was against this whole arrangement at first because she knew that there would be no easy way out if they were caught, but they had to emotionally blackmail her into taking part in it, now look where that had gotten them.Cassandra’s answer caused Alex to chuckle in amusement, “I just lost my child because of you guys and for some shitty reason you think that I would want to let you go?” He asked in his newly adapted mild voice. This particular tone of his feared them more than the loud and snappy tone.“We didn't know that she was pregnant, and the poison wasn't even for her,” Clare replied.Alex huffed in disbelief, “Should that make me feel better? If it wasn't the baby who died, it would have been Sophia. And… would it have been better if you guys succeeded in your plans to kill me? There's one particular question t

Sophia woke up to see her boyfriend and her friends surrounding her in their various positions. There was this happiness that filled her soul to know that they slept in the same room with her without considering the uncomfortable position they slept in. The closest person to her right now is Cynthia who was sleeping an inch beside her. She gently tapped Cynthia which made Cynthia open her eyes almost immediately she was touched because she thought that Sophia might be in any form of discomfort.“Sophia, is everything okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?” Cynthia rushed out.Sophia shook her head sideways, “No, I'm fine. Just help me and touch the men.” Sophia requested.Cynthia walked over to them and tapped them. They both woke up with a startle, just like Cynthia, they thought that something was wrong with Sophia. When they looked around, they saw Sophia who already sat up on her bed. In a split second, Alex swiftly rushed to where she was sitting down and engulfed her in a hug.

“Please explain what you mean,” Jayden said, still looking a bit taken off guard by her response.“I knew that I was pregnant. Well… I didn't know for a fact because I didn’t do any tests in the hospital but I did a urine test with a pregnancy test kit and it came out positive. I didn't know how to tell my boyfriend because I didn't know how he would take it. I also knew that I would lose the child when I started bleeding out.” She was a bit sceptical about telling him because they had only been intimate just once and that was on the night after his birthday. They had already been aroused even before they went to the party venue, it was only natural that they completed what they started earlier.“I can't believe that you are saying this. Why would you keep something like that away from me? Have I ever given you any reasons to doubt my love for you? It takes two to tangle, have you forgotten?” Alex asked a series of questions. He was bothered that Sophia would think that he would by an

Alex just got back after running all the errands issued to him by his wife. He was exhausted from all the day's work. He entered into the mansion owned by his wife's family where he also lives. The house of Kingston occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was the most luxurious villa in all of Manhattan. It had everything ranging from a garden, a swimming pool, a golf course, and a spa.The Kingston family was one of the mighty five, the top five most reputable families in Manhattan! Their financial power and influence were unrivaled in Manhattan.On his way to his room, he heard clanking of cups and chatters coming from the sitting room. He decided to say hello to his wife and let her know that he was back."Hello babe," Alex said immediately after he entered the room."Good evening all" He added after noticing the guests in the room."Who is your babe, you nitwit?" Cassandra sneered.Cassandra is the supposed wife of Alexander who turned him into a slave just because his family o

Alex stormed into the garden. The garden was directly opposite the villa gate. Anybody that was visiting the villa would first of all set eyes on Kingston's large and luxurious garden. The garden was diligently maintained, no weeds could be found, and it was trimmed to perfection.Alex sat on one of the foyers trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. He was pissed beyond imagination. This inhumane behavior being meted out on him was weighing him down beyond measure.He was still deep in thought when the villa gate automatically opened for Marcus to enter. Alex looked closely to find police vehicles behind Marcus' Bentley."Who gave you the right to lay your wretched hands on my daughter" As if on cue Cassandra ran out of the house still shedding crocodile tears. She quickly ran into her father's arms. He began patting her back and was whispering promises into her ear.Alex was still trying to figure out what was up when Marcus signaled the police officers to bundle him into the vehic

"Look who we have here, like what you see?" Cassandra mused."It took you so long to get here, what kept you?" Victor asked.Alex was still dumbstruck. He was still finding it difficult to understand the scene in front of him. How could he have missed the hints? He had been fooled all these years. He thought Victor was his friend. He confided in this dude and he pretended all these while to be on his side not knowing that he had been sleeping with his supposed wife.Alex felt the wetness on his face, he hadn't realized that he'd been crying. He wasn't even hurt that his wife was cheating, he was hurt by who she was cheating on him with "How long has this been going on?" He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.As if on cue, Clare walks into the room with some documents, "I see you've gotten your present. I don't know what gave you the idea that you could be with someone as influential as Cassandra for a long time.""You should be happy that she even stooped so low to be with you for
