In the end, he couldn’t help but sit on the ground, pressing the area where he was having an enormous amount of pain.
‘What … what is happening to me?’, he thought, and immediately he saw someone drop some money in front of him, looking at him in pity. It took a moment to realize what the person crossing from there assumed about him.
A beggar?
Of course, he would be looking like that with the clothes which were double his size. It wasn’t that he was wearing someone’s else clothes, he was wearing his own, but he didn’t have the physique that he had once. This long hair and beard were not all helping at all. The cherry on the top, he looked malnutritioned.

‘It has been two days since Colton used his dad’s card, but he is still not here until now. Does he not want Sophia in his life?’ Eden thought while driving the car. They both were on the way to the same hotel where Brandon had stayed because they had a meeting with one of the investors over there.
She didn’t know much about Brandon, so it was hard for her to say what kind of person he really was! She just didn’t want Colton’s heart not to get broken after realizing that his father didn’t give a damn about his mother. She agreed that Sophia’s EX-husband never tried to look for her or came for her after they separated, but a part of her was expecting some or any response from him after realizing that his black card was used after approx five years.
If she had been at Sophia’s place, then she would have returned back to his city to show him how successful she had become after he left her, but Sophia is a saint and pure-hearted woman. Her words were, ‘I didn’t do anything to show anything to anyone OR to take revenge. I did it for myself and my kids. So, that one day when I would tell myself that, I could be proud of myself and my kids could proudly say that I’m their mother.’

Third Person’s POV
“I have been observing.”, Sophia said, breaking Eden’s chain of thoughts.
“What?”
“The sales of our products, what else?” Sophia responded. “I was thinking of expanding our work in other sectors as well. What do you say?”
“Not a bad idea, but do you have anything in your mind?”
“Hmm. I do. Instead of buying wool for our supplier, how about we directly approach the sheepherder of the rural side and purchase wool from them directly. In this way, we will get a chance to prepare our material on our own, and in the absence of a middle man, those sheepherders can get a good amount of money from us directly without any mediator in the middle.”
“I can see that you are thinking about those poor sheepherders, but your idea is not tempting. Think something else, something better.”, Eden remarked, on which Sophia nodded her head. Immediately her nose was hit with a familiar scent, and she slowed down the car.
A scent that was familiar to Colton and Calvin.
“What’s wrong?”
“Where are Calvin and Colton?” Eden asked, looking around in an alert mode.
“They are at home. Arya texted me a moment before that she had brought them home from kindergarten. Because of the sudden death of one of their teacher. The school gave leave to all the kids before time, and maybe they will remain close for a day or two. But why are you asking this? Is everything all right?”
Eden parked the car in the parking lot of the hotel and sniffed in the air.
“What happened, Eden? Can you smell the scent of Colton and Calvin near the hostel?”
“No. Not exactly the same scent, but a part of their scent is familiar to the scent, which I can sense here. As long as pups don’t turn eighteen, their scent is the mixture of their parents. And the same thing goes with both of our pups.”, Eden clarified, sensing that Sophia’s Ex-husband was here, smelling his faint scent.
‘So, he came. He came. Both my pups will be so happy to meet him.’, Eden thought and concentrated her mind and nose to focus on one particular scent, and she sensed a mixture of Alcohol in his scent.
While Sophia’s leg froze, realizing the meaning of Eden’s word.
‘Brandon … Brandon is here? How? Why? Maybe because of any business meeting?’, Sophia thought and wondered whether she should go inside the hotel or not. But to her surprise, Eden was going in the opposite direction of the road.
‘Where is she going?’
“Eden… “, She yelled, but Eden just showed her hand and kept walking toward the beggar lying outside the bar. He looked terrible. She was positive that he couldn’t be Colton and Calvin’s father but damn to her smelling sense. It was playing a trick on her.
“Eden!!”, Finally, Sophia too reached near her and kept her hand on Eden’s shoulder. “Why are you going toward anywhere near like this place?”, She asked, making a disgusting face. She hated Alcohol and the person drinking it.
“Nothing. My nose is playing tricks with me. As per my sense, this homeless beggar is the father of your pups.” Eden laughed at her stupidity. The one who had given Sophia a black card could never be some beggar, of course! What was she thinking in the first place?
That was when Sophia’s eyes landed on the person about whom Eden was making fun, and in the next moment, her heart sank seeing the person lying on the floor like a beggar and some amount of money thrown around him.
(‘Beard and Mustache? He hates that and always keeps a clean shave.’
‘He keeps short trimmed hair.’
‘Your father is a perfect gentleman! No bad habits. Not a all.’
‘Your father has a good physique and six abs.’
‘Not just that, he is so strong that he can kick anyone’s ass and break their nose.’
‘I knew that dad would be strong as Superman.’)
She gasped and ran toward him. Even though he looked like shit, her eyes could never fail to realize the person who always held her heart.
“Sophia!! Please tell me that he is not the one whom I’m thinking.”, Eden said, shaking her head.
“Brandon? Brandon?” Sophia tapped his cheek and tried to make him awake, but he wasn’t. Sophia didn’t reply to her question but indirectly answered her question. “Eden!! Bring the car! We have to take him to the hospital.”, Sophia cried, holding Brandon close to her heart. The tears were following out of her eyes non-stop, seeing Brandon in this state.
What had happened to him?
“Sophia, I will take him to the hospital. You can attend the investor’s meeting because that is important.”
“I said BRING THE CAR.”, She screamed. Now Eden realized why Calvin started screaming whenever he was on the verge of crying or crying. “Nothing is more important than him right now.”
Well, Eden didn’t mean to say those words; she was just checking Sophia’s reaction.
*
In the car!!!

“Brandon, wake up, please!” Sophia whispered and kept crying at the same time. She couldn’t understand how and what happened to him because of which he had turned from a muscular man to a skeleton.
“I can smell that there is a lot of Alcohol in his body.”, Eden commented.
