Her, his desire

Sadie scan through her desktop as she waited for the person looking for her. A gentle knock on her door stopped her from surfing further. ” Come in ” she replied calmly. The door opened revealing a young man widely staring at Sadie with mouth agape. This can’t be his Sadie, his favourite sister. Sadie frowned as she stare up at the handsome guy in front of her. No!!! Wait!!Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She blinked her eyes rapidly as they both stared at one another without saying a word. Sadie was the first to break the staring contest from the surprise seeing her brother in her office. ” Alex ” Sadie called flying across her desk to hug Alex. She’d thought she will never set her eyes on him again but here he is, standing right before her in good health. Alex held her tight to himself hugging her back. Tears welled up his eyes with just the thought of what they might have done to her in his absence. When he arrived yesterday, they told him Sadie is out of the house and none of them knows where she lives aside her work place. Alex asked his Mum and sisters why Sadie left the house but none answered him. Sadie will never leave on her own accord unless something happened. He miss her so much. Alex can’t believe his younger sister has grown this big and beautiful. Sadie is now a beautiful young woman. She grew so fast within this two years of his absence. ” Sadie ” Alex called cupping her face as they disengaged from the hug. He rather see her first before going to see their father in the station. ” I miss you Alex, I thought I will never see you again ” Sadie said in excitement while she access her brother. ” Well, here I am strong and healthy. I am sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me sis, I am really sorry for leaving you. I am a bad brother and I am sorry” Alex said sadly, he never wanted to study abroad. He never wanted to work abroad, all was his father’s idea. They pushed him away from the only sister his parents and sisters hated for no reason. Till now, it baffles him why they all hate Sadie. Sadie is their flesh and blood. If Alex wasn’t there when their mum gave birth to Sadie, He’d think they adopted her but he was right there beside his Mum when she gave birth to Sadie. Even if he was very young then, he could remember his mum gave birth to Sadie. She was never adopted so why did they despise their own daughter? Jenna and Carly wouldn’t have hated Sadie if their mind wasn’t poisoned by their parents. Everything is still a misery to him.  Sadie sighed dragging Alex to sit. Nothing was his fault. Alex his been her shield in that hell of a house since they were kids. Who knows, she might have been dead by now if not for him. ” You are the best brother anyone will wish to have Alex, I will never blame you for the misfortune that happened in my life. You have a life to live Alex and it was best you left. I am not angry with you or anything” Sadie said as they sit down. ” Thank you sis, tell me, how have you been? What happened to you? Why did you leave the house? How did you end up back into modelling and working in a big agency like LBC? I thought you said you did not like modelling anymore? ” Alex bombarded making Sadie chuckle. This guy seated opposite her is her brother, the one that protected her from death a lot of times. She trust him and definitely not going to hide anything from him but the office is out of the places of their discussion . Sadie told him she did not have interest in modelling again then because that was what she was asked to tell him by their Mum. She definitely can’t tell Alex about Mum and Dad telling her to quit modelling because Carly wanted to be a model. He will get angry and do crazy things. They felt Sadie will take all Carly’s glory. ” How did you expect me to answer them now big brother? Which do I answer first?” She asked pouting her lips. ” That pout can’t work on me right now, I want to know everything and I hope mum and dad doesn’t have any hand in your sudden absence from home” He said clenching his teeth, if they do, he will not look for a way to help them. Heck! The amount of money their father is owing the bank, Alex doesn’t have it even if he combine all his savings. He could have asked Joe for some money but Joe is planning his wedding and he is going to spend a lot of money. Alex can’t put his budden on anyone. He’s been thinking of how he will go about the money since yesterday. ” You don’t have to worry about that, I am glad I left. If I hadn’t, I definitely won’t be where I am right now. Things happened for a reason but goodness Alex ,” ” You’ve become more handsome, what have you been eating there? Or is there any other secret behind it? You are glowing Alex, so much ” Sadie teased changing the topic. Alex knew the kind of sister he have. He knows she was trying to change the topic diverting from their initial discussion. ” That won’t still work Sadie ” he replied almost immediately.

Sadie chuckled shaking her head. Alex knows her too well. ” Fine, you will just give me your number. I will send my house address to you, how about we see tomorrow? We discuss in the office ” Alex nodded in understanding. ” That’d be great, I have to go see Dad anyways ” he replied shrugging his shoulders. Sadie frowned rolling her eyes at the same time. ” Go see Dad? Aren’t you just coming from home? Or you want to see him in his company?” ” Company? The company that’s already in the mud? Aren’t you aren’t you aware that Dad was arrested?” Alex scoffed. Sadie frowned again giving him a confused look. ” No one told me and I don’t care if he goes to jail ” she replied coldly throwing Alex off guard. He wasn’t expecting her to say that, he blinked his eyes in disbelief. The Sadie he knew will never say this, she’d be worried if anything happens to any of them. She has really changed so much but he’s not blaming her. As much as she changed, she has gone through a lot. Anyone can change too.

Alex sighed speechlessly, he doesn’t know what else to say after Sadie’s reply. She have the right to be mad at them, he’d be mad too if he was the one that went through what Sadie went through. Sadie brought out her phone and Alex opened his mouth in shock. ” You own this phone Sadie? This… this phone is the most expensive phone in the whole world. Even if they sell all our properties, there’s no way we can afford this. How did you get it?” Alex asked bewildered. Sadie stared at the phone then at Alex, she never knew the phone is that expensive. Nathan never told her about that. Why will Nathan buy her the most expensive phone in the whole world? ” Oh! I never knew it’s that expensive ” she replied sincerely…. Alex glared at her with his mind wandering to different things. ” You never knew? That means you didn’t get the phone by yourself. How did you get this phone Sadie? ” he asked in a big brother tone. It can’t be that Sadie is doing…. no! Sadie will never do that, he trust her. ” Don’t think too much big brother, my husband got it for me actually so I didn’t know it would be very expensive ” Sadie replied with her head down smiling sheepishly at herself with just the mention of ‘ husband’ . ” Wait! What? Your husband? You are married?” Alex screamed but Sadie was fast enough to cover his mouth. …………………………………………………. ” You are fired ” Nathan yelled at the lady whose hands flew to her mouth immediately. She knelt down and began pleading in tears, she didn’t know Mr Rogers will be different from other single billionaire bachelors out there. ” I am sorry Sir, I am sorry. I promise you. I will never try it again ” she pleaded. ” What was your offense?” Nathan asked icily. The lady opened her mouth and closed it back with no words coming out of it. ” I asked you a question Miss Boise, why am I firing you?” He asked again hitting his desk loudly which made the lady flinch in fright. She have heard a lot about Mr Rogers but she never thought he will be this frightening and cold. His expression right now is enough to scare anyone. ” Get out of my office if you can’t speak ” he yelled. The lady gulped down the lump that was forming in her throat as she tried speaking. ” I…. I…. I…. I…. I tried seducing you Sir, I am sorry please don’t fire me ” the lady said in embarrassment. Nathan breathed out as he stood up to the window backing the kneeling lady. ” Miss Boise ” he called calmly. ” Y.. yes Sir ” she replied stuttering. ” You just began working here two weeks ago, did you read the rule book? What did number fifteen says? ” Nathan asked. ” Do not make advances at your boss, never try to seduce him. Any lady that does that will be fired and paraded like someone who committed a treason ” she said said. ” You are aware of this then why did you try seducing me? Were you trying to see my reaction Miss Boise?” Nathan asked facing her. Miss Boise shook her head in embarrassment, if she escapes this. She will avoid Nathan forever as long as she walks in this agency. ” I have been in a good mood lately, I will make this a warning to you. If you ever try this again, I will make sure I make you miserable that you prefer dying to living. Get out of my sight dèja vu ” *************************** ” I promise you Mum, I will fix this ” Sofia said straightening her gown. ” Are you sure? I don’t want you to bring more trouble to us ” Mrs Huang said skeptically. ” I won’t, I just have to apologize to Sadie. Since Mr Nathan likes her hard work, maybe she can help me beg him not to blacklist my name from all the jobs ” Sofia replied hopefully. She’s just hoping, nothing more.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ??? OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY:

ELENI TOWN, CALIFORNIA ??? ” Dad ” Max called still hugging his father tightly. ” Water… water.. water” the man whispered. ” Stay calm Dad, Anna, Anna ”

Max shouted in no time, a maid burst through the door. ” Yes Sir ” she answered politely bowing her head. ” Get him water, hurry ” Max instructed and Anna rushed out. It wasn’t up to a minute she came back with a glass of water. Max sat his Dad with a pillow supporting his back before giving him the water. When the Man took the water to his satisfaction and breathed out. ” How are you feeling Dad? Are you hungry? What did you want to eat? ” Max asked. The man shook his head looking around his room. His eyes landed on the family portrait hanging on the wall. Tears welled up in his eyes, he couldn’t help it. The tears began pouring on his cheeks. Max’s gaze followed his father’s and he quickly stood up, took the picture crashing it on the floor. ” This shouldn’t make you cry Dad, you are just waking up after fifteen good years and the first thing you do is to cry? ” Max asked trying hard to suppress his tears. He thought he had gotten rid of the picture all this while. His father wouldn’t have woken up to it. ” You can’t do this to me and yourself Dad, we are trying to move. Please get well first Dad” Max sat down with his Dad’s head leaning on his shoulder as he gently rub his back. ” I miss them ” the man said sniffing…..
