Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE Sophia's POV First we had to share a room and now, I get to see him shirtless everywhere I turn.He sat there on his phone, his full chest open for the world to see, it irked me."Can you try putting a shirt on? I'm not a fan of your nudity." I said sitting on the couch."Sorry." He said and pulled a shirt over his head.I was tired, tired because last night, I could barely sleep knowing he was sleeping some distance away from me."What do you want to do today dear wife?" He asked smirking."I'm not your wife, not here when I'm alone with you, the earlier you stop playing around the better, this isn't funny and it wouldn't be for the next one year.""Okay, we have an interview by 10AM, I'll send the driver to pick you up, make sure you're ready before then." He said and walked out of the room."Make sure you're ready before then." I mimicked him.He was bossy, too bossy for someone who went on his knees and begged me to marry him.I sat down on the bed, my mind goin

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR Bran's POVI watched as she danced with her father and few other guest, I knew she was trying her best to look like the happy bride, but she was failing woefully at it.Her back was hunched, her dance steps were lazy and she still carried that sad expression on her face."I honestly thought you were joking about marrying Sophia, turns out it is serious, how did you get her into agreeing to this after so many years?" Ken my best friend asked as he took his spot, next to me."Man, I honestly don't know how I did it but it worked." I said and continued looking at her."She's all grown now, although she still scares me but she's more beautiful now." "That's my wife man." I said swatting his arm."My apologies." He said mock bowing.He was right, Sophia Tyler was the scariest 19 year old I had ever met, she feisty and I wondered were all that went.We had met when her father's business was doing really well and he had not started his gambling habit, he supplied my own f

Chapter: CHAPTER THREECHAPTER 3 Sophia's POV "Here comes the bride."I heard the announcer say and almost immediately, the large door to the hall flew open revealing guests and cameras flashing at me, I swallowed my saliva to calm my nerves.I held the wedding dress that had suddenly be become tighter as I marched inside, focusing on the man who was soon to announced as my husband.Each painful step in the awfully tight shoe that would have been my perfect size any other day, brought me closer to what would be my fate for the next one year."Sophia, you look beautiful." My father said as he extended his arm for me to curl mine in "he's not going to hurt you, I've started working on getting everything back, as soon as it clicks, you'll leave there."I nodded.That was the only thing I could do, I didn't know how to process everything, some days back, I would have been in my little Shop, doing what I enjoyed doing but here I am, walking to sign my freedom over to a man whose name once ha

Chapter: CHAPER ONE SOPHIA'S POV "You did what?" My voice trembled as I stared at the man I called my father; the walls of his office seemed to close in as he refused to look up at me."It was a bad business deal, I had no idea it would lead us here; I didn't know it was a scam." He said, bending his head.If I had not known him better, I would have believed he was genuinely remorseful, this had been the drill for the longest time."Dad, you gambled away a business the whole family has been depending on. This is not even the first time you're doing this. How could you continue even after we almost lost everything the last time?" I said trying to control my voice out of respect."It wasn't supposed to end like this, It seemed a fair deal, the benefits were mouth watering –" "I can't believe you would do this.
