Sophia’s POV
.
I was about to say something so that they could leave each other’s hands but before I would have said anything my daughter started crying. In no time, Brandon left Henry’s hand and walked toward Caroline. He reached near her and picked her in his arms.
“What happened, Princess, hmm?”, Brandon asked and Caroline stopped crying the very next moment.
‘Thank you, Caro! You unknowingly helped your mom.’, I mentally thanked my daughter.
“I think, I should leave instead of being the third wheel in a family.”, Henry smiled on which I smiled back at him and nodded. We gave each other a side hug before he left. The moment, I turned toward Brandon, he was throwing daggers with his eyes at Henry and looked extremely pissed.
He started walking toward our building taking Caroline in his arms while I followed him rolling the empty stroller.
I was positive that he wouldn’t speak anything so I initiated the conversation when we entered the elevator.
“You know, that was rude. You shouldn’t have almost fractured his hand.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“You can thank me that I was just trying to break his hand, not his teeth for hitting on my wife.”, he said, gritting his teeth.
“You were jealous?”, I asked, not sure whether I was hitting the right point or not.
He scoffed before replying, “Jealous and me?” he laughed bitterly. “Sophia, I have no feelings for you. So, keep this fact clear in your head. It just that you’re my wife, that’s why I’m saying you the same now.”, he said bluntly on which I bit my inner chin, stopping myself from crying. I shouldn’t feel bad.
I shouldn’t.
But here, I was still feeling bad.
“The reason I’m pissed because I can bear those people who try to hit on a man or woman even after knowing that he or she is marriage.”, he muttered.
I didn’t say anything on it. All I focused my mind in realizing the reason because of which I was feeling in this way? Why was he or anything about him was affecting me?
‘I crave for him to speak with me! But why?’
I started feeling sad from the moment, he stopped talking to me. He was rude to me from the starting, but it never hurt me but when he stopped being rude or showing any emotion, it was what hurt me the most!
Fine, then!
If he wanted to stay away from me and my daughter then I would give him the same space.

At night I place the wall made of pillow in the middle of the bed and placed Caroline on my side.
“What are you doing?” he asked when he saw me doing this.
“Now that there is no one in the room. I don’t think you need to act like a loving father to my daughter. It will be better if you will be nothing but just a stranger for her so that at the time of separation she wouldn’t cry for her fake father.”
Pain flashed in his eyes, but I ignored it. Now that I was all right, I could wake up at night for her all the time. Whenever she woke up at night, Brandon woke up too, to check on her but I didn’t let him even touch my daughter.
If this was what you want, then be it.

Henry’s POV
.
“It doesn’t look like in Brandon’s presence, we can get our hands on her.”, Iris commented.
“Then we don’t have another choice than kidnapping Brandon as well that too without any security.”, I commented.
“And how you’re going to make it possible then?”
“If that old man really goes for knee replacement surgery then we won’t have any other choice than waiting for three more months or so on!!”, I muttered in frustration. “Don’t worry, our mission is taking time but it would be worth it. I promise you that. As for now, we don’t have any other choice than to wait. Waiting for the right moment. Because even Weasley and his fifth son, John is on run. We will also have to find those bastards. As, it’s John’s time to die or the best we can do is to bring him in my favor and made him ditch his own father? What do you say? What will be more painful?”
“Nothing can be best than the pain of Betrayal.”, Iris smirked. “Moreover, I have heard that John doesn’t love Sophia as much as her other brothers. How about using him to trap both Sophia and Brandon? We will just lie to him that if he will hand over them to us then we will spare his life which in reality, we won’t.”
“We are going to spare NO ONE, Iris. NO ONE.”

Each and every single day was passing 48 hours a day!! The more I wanted to finish this mission and live a normal life, the more it was taking time. Four months had been passed and until now, I hadn’t killed any Weasley yet. But not anymore, finally John was acting like a lovesick puppy for Iris. Little did, he knew that he trusted the wrong girl.
I think the whole family is stupid or naive, who had a habit of trusting the wrong person. All of a sudden, Iris mind linked to me.
‘What happened, Iris?’
‘Lucia Weasley is death.’
‘WHAT?’, I asked in shock.
‘Yes!! And it looks like any werewolf has killed her.’, She responded.
‘This is not good news, Iris. This is definitely not good news. Lucia Weasley was the mother of Oscar and Owen and those two brothers are not good news. In fact, Oliver Weasley is also not good news.’
‘I know. But what now?’
‘Use John as a trump card as soon as possible or Oscar and Owen will hunt us down because they are beasts in human form.’
