Billionaire’s Ex-Wife And His Hidden Babies

Third Person’s POV

.

Once they left, Bruce spoke, “I haven’t seen you happy or laughing in all these years. Why did you not let me tell about them to Uncle?”

“Because they are Sophia’s kids first, and she is their mother, and it should be her decision with whom her kids should keep contact and with whom shouldn’t. Anyway, leave it, can you arrange ….

“Dare you say ALCOHOL’s name again, Brandon. Or I will kill you first before Alcohol.”, Bruce hissed. “Do you have any idea what this operation is about?” he asked angrily. “Both your kidneys have failed, damn it! And if you won’t change your habit, then you will die.”

“Okay! I get it. Please, just one more time.”, Bradon requested, on which Bruce glared at him.

“It’s a straight NO. Now, stay here. I’m going to inform the doctor that you’re ready for the operation now.”

Brandon sighed and looked here and there in search of Alcohol in the room, and accidentally his gaze landed on the door.

She hadn’t come to see him.

“Do you think she will come?”, He asked hopefully.

And again, the door of his room opened; his eyes lit up with the thought of Sophia visiting him, but immediately it faded when he saw Eden, but she stepped aside, showing the face of that person whom he wanted to see.

Brandon removed all the tubes which were attached to his hand and tried to leave the bed, and soon he was on his feet with shaky legs; he tried to walk toward her even though Sophia walked toward him with heavy legs. Brandon both smiled and cried seeing her after this long; he recalled seeing her for the first time in ripped jeans and a loose shirt with messy hair, now, she had worn a formal suit and high-neck sweater under it, and her hair was straight.

While Sophia remembered seeing him for the first time in Jeans and a T-shirt, and a way different than this, and even at that moment, he had walked toward her first to introduce himself.

While Bruce remembered how perfect they used to be together once, he remembered a conversation with Brandon.

(‘All right, I’m leaving.’

‘Leaving? It’s just six.’

‘So? Office hours are 9 to 6, right? And that is already completed. Moreover, a monkey at my place is waiting for me who starts complaining about not giving her time.’

‘You’re calling Sophia a monkey?’

‘Well, what can I say? The moment her eyes landed on me, she literally ran like a love-sick puppy and jumped on me happily. I hate whenever she does that.’

‘Yeah! Yeah! I can see how much you hate it.’)

Brandon wiped Sophia’s tears with his thumb, on which Sophia raised her hand to caress his forehead and softly reached her hand to his cheek full of beard. She pulled his beard lightly, showing a disgusting face; they both chuckled and cried at that moment. He held her that hand and kissed her palm. He was about to fall because of weakness, but Sophia quickly wrapped her hand around his waist.

“I’m sorry to spoil your moment, but we need to take Mr. Haysbert for the operation.”, The doctor said, breaking their moment. “Mr. Haysbert, Can you walk?”, The doctor asked, to which Brandon shook his head. “Bring the stretcher.”, he said to the male assistant with him.

After the stretcher came, Bruce, Sophia, and one of the medical staff helped him to lay down on it. The stretcher started taking Brandon out of the room, but Sophia felt something tugging his blazer. That was when Sophia realized that Brandon had held his blazer.

She pulled her blazer out of his hand and placed her hand instead of the blazer. She walked by Brandon’s side until they started taking Brandon into the operation theatre. Their hand unwillingly left each other, and they both just stared at each other helplessly.

“I’m sorry.”, These were Brandon’s last words, and that was when the door of the operation theatre closed.

Sophia stayed there standing without any movement, and her hand was still forwarded in the direction of the OT as if Brandon would come back and hold her hand again.

“Sophia, he is gone.”, Eden reminded her and put her hand in a normal position, and then pulled her to the chair to sit. “Here, have some water.”

“I don’t want it.”, Sophia denied.

“At least, have some sip, please.”, Eden requested, on which Sophia gave in and drank some sip of water and then kept it aside. She didn’t want to drink anything.

“You know, this is not some serious operation, right?” Bruce said, sitting beside her. “They have to just fit some pipe or something in his nerves so that he won’t have to go pain during dialysis. That’s it. And after two weeks, that will heal too.” Sophia glared at me, on which he raised his hand in defense.

“By the way, whatever you two have between you is too intense,” Eden said for two reasons. One because she wanted to change the topic, and the other because she was interested in knowing their love story.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Even I feel the same, but Brandon never agreed to me.”, Bruce said.

“I know we have never talked about your past, but I kind of want to know what had happened in the past because of which you two are not together, but I want to know what your story is? Why are you both feeling guilty and regretting your own decision at the same time?”

“I’m going to church. Bruce knows everything. He will tell you.”, Saying this, she started leaving.

“I’m coming with you.”

“Please, Eden. I want to stay alone for a while. Please.” Though Sophia had used the word PLEASE but her eyes were signaling that she was not exactly requesting. “Just text me when the operation is done.”, Saying this, she left, and Eden looked at Bruce.

“What?” Bruce asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Tell me. I want to know each and everything and dare you to lie about anything because I would be able to smell that. Is it because of Caroline’s death?”

“To know about her death, you need to listen to everything from the start.”, Bruce said and explained how it began (Please prefer Chapter 3) and then the incident of a sudden marriage proposal (I can’t name the chapter number as it differs from platform to platform). “Though Sophia’s mother had told her that she could meet her future husband at the time of marriage, Brandon landed at her house on the very same night to meet her, to confirm whether she was really not a hunter or her parents were lying and that was the first time they had seen each other for the first time.
