Brandon’s POV
.
She started choking me, but I didn’t fight back, knowing my strength was nothing in front of her just started chanting a spell, and she was forced to open her hand around my neck, and then she stumbled a little, moving away from me.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Our next target should be Ethan, so stop fighting with me.”, I said, rubbing my neck.
“But why not Oliver?”, She asked. “Don’t tell me you are planning to go soft on….”
“Because taking any type of risk at this moment is not safe. Not from Oscar and Owen, not until the mother case of their mother gets solved because they’re already on high alert. After that, we will plan Sophia’s fake kidnapping news and then the rest of the things.”
“Then filming her video where she will be brutally raped and beaten by us.”
“I can’t believe that being a female, you’re talking like this.”
“This was what happened with your Abby, and you wanted to do the same with this bitch in the beginning, don’t you? Then what changed, Hunter? This was why we used Mason to trap her in his love web and bring her to us!! Then what changed in fucking one year? Or, that whore is so good in bed that you didn’t want to share her with anyone?”, She asked.
Immediately I heard a familiar gasp and shut my eyes, knowing who had heard our conversation. I couldn’t dare to lift my head and looked upstairs where she would be standing.
“What are you doing outside, bitch? Go inside your room because seeing your face is the last thing that I want to see.”, Iris growled. Sophia quickly ran away from there while I pressed my lips tightly, forbidding myself to say anything.
Sophia always said that ‘actions speak louder than words.’
So, I would answer this behavior of her later because I believed in doing the work rather than talking like an idiot.

When I reached home, Dad was still awake and was waiting for me.
“Why are you still awake, dad? You might fall sick?”
“I miss Sophia and Caro. Am I never going to see them again?” he asked in a low tone in which I sat beside him.
“Dad… we have already discussed it.”
Dad sighed before speaking, “I know you are doing this for Abby. And I also know what she means to you, but son, I have observed in the past year how important Sophia has become for you.”
I didn’t say anything to that.
“By the way, Ethan had called me a few hours before. Since you weren’t here, I had no choice but to receive the call.”
“And what did he say?” I asked, getting interested in the topic.
“He said that he has played enough of his hide and seek. Soon, he will be returning here with Abby,” I smiled hearing that. Only a couple of people knew how much we had tried to find her. “And he will be using Abby to trap that dog; after all, she is his mate.”
My fist tightened immediately. If that bastard had not been using the device to mislead the location, I would have reached the place where he was now and would have killed him then and there.
“I don’t know what his next plan is, Brandon, but my guts feeling is telling me that handling Ethan is not good news.”
“Whatever news it is, dad, I’m not going to rest in peace until I kill him and bring Abby to the place where she belongs.”
“I bet you can’t rest in peace even after killing everyone.”, Dad said, on which I narrowed my eyes.
“Why are you saying like that, dad?”
“Can you bring one of my novels?” he asked, on which I did the same without questioning his wired request at this moment. And then, opening some random pages, he placed it near my nose. “Now, tread this chapter for me.”
“How can I read anything if the novel will be this close to my face? To read it, you will have to place it a far from my face.”
“Exactly. Sometimes people’s importance is realized when they get far away from us.”, Saying this, he closed the novel and walked inside his room. I shook my head and went into my room and felt something missing or someone missing from the right side of the bed who either used to stay awake, waiting for me, or something used to fall asleep while waiting for me. I changed my clothes and laid down on the bed, but I couldn’t sleep a wink. I kept thinking how would Sophia would have been reacted after knowing that even Mason never loved her; he was nothing but a baited to trap her?

I kept checking the time again and again so that my office hours and work would end and I could leave for the mansion to see both Caroline and Sophia. I couldn’t help but wonder what they would be doing today? I knew Sophia loved to eat a lot of junk food during her periods, so I got them for her.
By the time I reached the mansion, I had sawed my thirteen warriors discussing something with one another. Just fourteen warriors, Iris and Bruce, were lucky to survive this attack because of some reason or other. But one lost his life because my dad killed him.
Not that I was mad at him for this.
Sophia and her baby were the first priority at that time. And because of their stupidity, she lost her baby.

“What are you all discussing?”, I asked, one which they started looking at one another maybe mind linking, who would reply to my question.
“Actually, Jacob found his mate today.”, Austin answered.
“Congratulation, Jacob.”, I said with a smile.
“And she suggested him to join her pack because our pack has been destroyed and doesn’t have any Alpha or Alpha heir.”, Austin added.
