Chapter 12 - Inviting

Xander's P.O.V.

I woke up with her kisses in the morning. Before I opened my eyes, I pulled her into my embrace and smelt her scent. Then I opened my eyes and kissed her lips, "I want to wake up every morning like this."

"Maybe," she said.

I flipped us over. Now I was on top of her. "Maybe?" I asked while raising my eyebrow in a serious expression and she smiled. I kissed her lips. "We better get up now. I have a meeting in the morning, otherwise, I will have breakfast in bed with great pleasure." I bit my lower lip, looking at her with lustful eyes.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "Ok then, you’re the one that is going to miss it."

"Hmm, what do you think if I cancel it?" I asked her, already knowing the answer.

"Yes," she responded.

"You are so inviting this morning, miss."

"That is so accurate, mister." She kissed my lips.

"Come on, you deserved a good breakfast for your invitation." We got up. She went to the shower. I went down to make breakfast.

After she came, we had breakfast. She had an appetite this morning. "Is the reason for your appetite because I am a magnificent chef or because I tired you too much last night?" I grinned while asking her. She looked at me, raising her eyebrow. I couldn't hold myself and I laughed at her expression. She was so cute.

She said, after putting a piece of pancake in her mouth, "Both." We both laughed.

"I'm going to take a shower. Then we will leave," I told her.

"Ok. I will clear the table."

Sophia's P.O.V.

I finished my breakfast and cleared the table. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. I held the corner of the counter. A few seconds later, it passed.

"I am ready. Let's go," I said while Xander came.

"Let’s go then."

I took my bag, and we left. We came to the company. We had a meeting this morning. We went to the conference room together, then the meeting started. Xander was talking about the project. I was staring at him. I still couldn’t believe how he became my everything in a few days.

I was falling in love with him more and more every day. He looked at me. I smiled. Even his glance warmed me. I fell in love with this man. After the meeting ended, everybody left and we were left alone. He approached me and pulled me closer to him by putting his hands around my waist, "You couldn’t take your eyes off me, my beautiful girl," he said amusingly.

I wrapped my hands around his neck, "Then don’t be so handsome."

"I cannot promise that," he grinned, then started kissing my lips. He pressed me against the table. We were kissing passionately. Suddenly, the door opened.

"Xand…" We pulled back quickly. "Sorry."

I was disgraced. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. I walked out of the room quickly. I wanted to get to my office as soon as possible.

Xander's P.O.V.

She left the room quickly. My father smirked. Then he walked in and closed the door behind him and asked. "And?"

"What?"

"Is the wedding close?"

"What, the wedding, dad?! Don’t start again! What do you want?"

"Ok. About this file, I didn’t find a few documents in it." He pointed to the file in his hand. We looked at the file. "Okay, son. I will want them from Mrs. Amelia."

"Ok, dad," he said and stopped at the door and smiled at me. "Don’t forget to wipe the lipstick on the edge of your lips!" he told me, smirking.

I went to Arianna's room. When she saw me, she rested her head on the table and said in a low voice, "I'm disgraced."

I moved closer to her and bent down in front of her. I turned her seat towards me. I grabbed her chin with my finger and lifted it up. I let our eyes meet, "You are the woman I love. Don’t ever be embarrassed by it."

"But first your mother, then your father. What will they think of me?"

"They will think of how much I love you. Come on, pull yourself together. I want to see your beautiful smile. Come on." She smiled. "That’s my girl." I kissed her hand. Then I went to my office.

I called Lucas, "Hello, any news?"

"I found some information, Mr. Knight. There is one last thing I am waiting for. I am finishing it this evening."

"Ok. I look forward to seeing them. Hurry up!"

"Okay. They will be in your hands this evening, sir."

Arianna left the holding. I told her I would leave later that I needed to finish some paperwork.

Sophia's P.O.V.

I came home and changed my clothes. This evening Ella was coming. There was a knock on the door; it was her.

We ate our dinner together. Then we sat down on the couch. I told her what happened.

"When are you going to tell him that you are Sophia?" she asked.

"I will tell him tomorrow night. We will have dinner together, but I'm afraid. What if he gets angry? What if he doesn’t want to see me again?" I asked her, worried.

"I do not know, Sophia. I hope everything goes well. You will be happy," she assured me.

Xander's P.O.V.

There was a knock on the door, "Come in."

"Good evening, Mr. Knight."

"Good evening, Lucas. Did you bring it?"

"Yes, Mr. Knight. It's all in this file." He handed me the file. There was all kinds of information about her, even places where she had gone. "There are photos at the end of the file as well."

I was shocked when I saw the photos at the end of the file and said out loud, "How is it possible?"
