Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Sophia couldn’t find the real answer, but she knew that Arthur was the one who had paid Drake’s debt.

“Mom, Dad, don’t worry about this. I can handle it,” she said.

Drake and Emma glanced at each other and thought, how will Sophia handle this? Is it possible that Mr. Weiss liked our daughter?

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Drake got out of the car while Emma looked at Sophia and told her, “If it’s really Mr. Weiss, you need to thank him right away.”

“Sure, I’ll do it! You guys head first. I’ll find him right now!”

Sophia halted a cab as she said that. After that, she pulled out her phone and called Arthur.

“Hello?” The phone was answered as a low, deep voice of a man of unknown temperament came through.

“Were you the one who helped settle my father’s debt?” Sophia asked quickly.

“Yes. I had settled his debt.”

“Why… Why did you do it?” Even if her brain were to burst, Sophia was still unable to uncover the reason for this issue.

“Listen carefully, you owe me a family heirloom and 10 billion dollars from now on.”

“All right. I’ll pay you back for what you did for me. If you are willing, I can even be your servant for a lifetime.” Sophia had no choice but to sell herself to Arthur. Yet, she didn’t mind much because she knew she would feel better once father paid off his debt.

When the man heard what Sophia said, he asked in a serious tone, “So, does that mean you’ll do anything I tell from now on?” you to do

Sophia’s face suddenly turned red, but she answered him with boldness. “Yes.”

“You’ll have an hour to return to my villa,” he demanded.

“Sure! I’ll be right back.” She responded before she hung up the phone with relief.

The debt is paid off. Mom and Dad don’t have to struggle to make a living, and I can stay with him for the rest of my life.

Sophia felt like she was in a trance as she gazed at the sunshine beyond the window.

She was surprised that she didn’t feel trapped when she thought she would be with Arthur for a long time. Instead, it made her feel happy and she even looked forward to it.

After an hour, Sophia went to Arthur’s villa and ran into Emily as she was having her afternoon tea. When Emily first saw her, she was so mad that she threw up her tea and called Sophia out of the blue, “Hey, you! Come here!”

Sophia walked right over to her when she heard that. “Can I help you in any way, Miss Jennings?”

Emily pushed the desserts off the table all of a sudden. “It’s dirty on the floor. Come here and clean it up.”

Sophia watched as Emily tried to create a scene on purpose. If it was before, she’d ignore Emily for sure. Now, though, things are different. Arthur’s guest is Emily while I work for him. So, doing these things will come naturally to me.

“Yes, Miss Jennings.” Sophia was on her knees and picked up the desserts that had fallen on the floor, but all of a sudden, Emily stomped on one of the desserts with her shoe. She took them off and said, “My shoes are dirty on the bottom. Why don’t you wash it after you finish cleaning up this mess?”

Sophia nodded and kept wiping the floor while she was on her knees. Arthur appeared at the front entrance before he slowly entered.

He saw Emily in the garden, sitting cross legged on a reclining chair with a teacup in one hand and desserts sprawled on the floor underneath her. Then, he noticed Sophia, who was kneeling down and collecting the desserts off the ground as if she were a servant.

Emily was feeling smug as she watched Sophia clean up the mess she had intentionally made when she heard a cold male voice say, “Stop cleaning.”

Sophia’s hand stopped moving when she heard that voice. Then, she turned her head to look at the man who was coming toward them. She continued picking up those desserts instead of rising to her feet

She was pulled to her feet by a hand that reached out to grab it. When she heard the man’s voice, it sounded a little bit mean. “I said, stop picking. Are you deaf?”

Sophia took her hand back as she looked down. “Yes.”

Then she looked at Emily’s shoes, which were placed to one side and said, “Miss Jennings, let me clean your shoes.”

Emily couldn’t help but smirk when she saw that Sophia knew how to behave. “Make sure to clean it well,” she added.

Arthur knew what was going on because he knew Emily well. He had seen the desserts on the floor and the dessert stains on her shoes.

“Emily, she is my personal maid. Please order your personal attendants to take care of all of your everyday needs. Don’t instruct Sophia any longer,” he told Emily before instructing Sophia, “Stop cleaning and come inside with me.”

Emily pouted her lips unhappily and demanded, “Artie, why can’t I make her do what I want? How is she better than my servant?”

“No means no and it’s final.”Arthur maintained his calm manner. Then, he dragged Sophia into the living room where he reminded her, “Moving forward, you must serve me only and no one else.”

Sophia’s delicate cheeks flushed slightly when she heard the words serve me only because these were incredibly vague affectionate terms.

As always, she did what she was told and nodded. “I understand.”

“Go back to your room and rest.” Arthur gave her his instructions. He couldn’t attend to her for long because he had some business to take care of.

Sophia returned to her room and she received a phone call from her father thereafter. He contacted to see if it was Arthur who had helped him settle his debt.

“Dad, yes. I’m now working for him, so it may be a while before I can see you and Mom.”

“Logically, I should detest him because he took over my company by force.” Drake was experiencing feelings that were somewhat conflicting.

“Why did he take over your business, Dad?” Sophia wondered.

“It’s because I managed the business inefficiently and failed to turn a profit.” Drake sighed. He recalled how ruthless Arthur had been the last time he took over the business. There was no introduction or advance notice as the man simply appeared and seized his company.

One of his other business partners had used the company’s shares as collateral for a loan of hundred of billion dollars. For this reason, the company was sold and the sale proceeds were transmitted directly to the bank. It was later found out that Drake was also responsible for another debt, which had been taken out in his name.

This was the said debt that Arthur had settled up in full.

Drake was furious but also helpless. There was, however, nothing he could do to change the situation. As a result, he had little choice but to accept his fate. On top of that, he had always planned on retiring someday.

“Dad, focus on your health first,” Sophia comforted him. She stood by the handrail on the second story and glanced down at Arthur working on his laptop downstairs as she spoke. The man seemed so cold, stoic, and charming at the same time.

Up until now, she hadn’t been able to believe that those delicately pursed lips of his had kissed her.

Anastasia arrived at the company earlier in the morning to meet a few important visitors. As a jewelry designer, she’d always been attentive and patient with clients. Even though she was with a prominent status now, she still met with every client and that dignified attitude of hers captivated them.

In less than a half hour and two cups of coffee later, she was able to secure nearly 10 million worth of custom orders for three prominent women.

Anastasia was aware that the jewelry market was becoming increasingly competitive. That meant that if they truly wanted to break away from their old operating model, they had to go all out at the top end and she wanted to build Bourgeois into a top-tier company in the industry.

During her time as an employee at Bourgeois, she was aware that the company had a lot of unproductive staff.
