Chapter 88

*****Vincent's POV*****

After a quick back and forth on the phone with my father again this morning, he informs me that he will be coming to visit this weekend which wasn't ideal since that gave me all of one whole day to prepare for his arrival.

He claimed that he 'couldn't wait to meet the girl who was managing to turn me soft' to which you can imagine I wasn't happy about hearing.

I wasn't even sure if a day would be enough time to prepare Sofia for meeting two people like my parents, since neither of them were anything to be proud of at the best of times!

My father then went on to inform me that he had reached out to her father - Frazier - last night and was still waiting for him to call back today to talk things over...

The whole process had me on the edge of my seat, unsure of where the conversation between our fathers would even lead...

Things could either go pretty smooth or really, really bad and I felt somewhat dirty for sneaking around like this knowing that if Sofia knew I was reaching out to her father to offer him money, she would no doubt freak out and beg me not to. But some things were best kept secrets until they were smoothed over...

I turn on my heels hearing the doorbell ring throughout the house, as I walk towards it in large strides with a suspicion of who it is already.

Pulling the handle down, and opening up the door, I usher the three cleaners inside.

"The old man will be back tomorrow night so I need the whole place done and his room and en-suite prepared on the top floor." I inform them, having used the same people for years and knowing already that they were good at what they do.

I leave them to it, deciding to take my phone and my coffee out back, settling myself in to one of the comfier garden chairs with the realisation that all I could do now was wait...
