Sophia Censatio"How much does this entire building cost? Do you have any idea?." I turned to Bella and asked. Anyone who heard me asks this would think, I want to buy off the whole property."No, Ms. Sophia... I have no idea but I believe, this house cost a fortune. I mean, I can never afford this kinda house in my entire life. This verse here alone can buy me and my entire family.""Indeed. Seeing how everything is shining and sparkling. Most of the object in this house is pure gold, I can bet, everything is made out of gold." I said."You're right. Everything is made out of gold.""What?!!!!" I exclaimed again. "You can't be serious?!." The poor girl looked at me like I'm crazy or something. I immediately compose myself so as not to embarrass myself more."I thought, he is your boyfriend and you know everything about him." She said, confused."What?!! Boyfriend?!! Whose boy-" I hurriedly shut my mouth as I realized I'm about to spill everything out. If Aaron hears me deny him, he

Sophia Censatio"Okay, okay, calm down two love birds. So, You remember the last time I went to the supermarket to get some things and I told you I almost run into an accident? Remember I told you, I was saved by this pretty young lady?" "Wait, and that pretty lady who saved you is; Sophia?!!" He asked in a disbelief tone."Excuse me! What do you know? Yes, I did save her. Got any problem with that?.""For goodness sake, can you two just stop fighting yourselves? You're not kids. I can't believe you two are lovers and yet, still fight each other" She said.After that was said, we both got our mouths shut."Now, you two will eat in silent without a word." She said as she serve us our breakfast." Thank you, this looks delicious."" I know right? Aaron has always told me that I'm the best cook in the entire universe."" Even though I haven't tasted your food yet, from the view and aroma I'm perceiving, I can tell it's going to taste good." I said and she smiled."Come on, enjoy your fo

Two Months LaterAaron Samuel"Good morning, sir." Susan, my new secretary greeted me cheerfully. I answered her with a broad smile plastered on my face and walked into my office. I'm positive, she's still shocked right now. My change of attitude of suddenly surprised her. I have never portrayed this side of myself before my workers before. I guess Sophia has been changing me a lot within the few weeks of getting closer to her. I mean, I don't raise my voice anymore on any of my workers... Seeing those happy looks on their faces made me realize how much I've made them go through a lot just because of my mood swing. Sophia deserves all the accolades.Talking about her... I stopped her from being my secretary. And rather, made her one of my accountants since that was what she study in school. I believe it won't be proper to make my girlfriend... I mean, acting as a girlfriend as my assistant. Two weeks after I got her a ring, I made our relationship known worldwide. I made sure, ever

Sophia CensatioI walk out of my room in anger and sauntered straight to where my family and everyone were seating.Wondering what is going on? Well, two months back after signing the contract between Aaron and I, we both went straight to the hospital and before we arrive there, the doctors were already at work. I met my siblings there and my sister wouldn't stop crying. Aaron on the other hand, surprisingly was so helpful and supportive, especially towards my sister, Janet. We waited outside the operation room for 10 hours before the doctor finally came out and told us it was a successful operation. He also told us to give her some hours because she was still unconscious.I was so happy and so were my siblings too. I got carried away by my happiness and, end up jumping on Aaron. I wrap my arm around his neck and my legs around his waist whilst he held me tightly to his body. A cough from my brother made me realize what I had just done and slowly got down from him."Are you two datin

Sophia CensatioA Week LaterI fluttered my eyes opened slowly as I hear a sarcastic voice say. "Finally! The princess is awake" Jonathan?!I looked around me and this place feels strange. What's happening? Why am I here and, am I being kidnapped right now? What am I doing here?- I thought before my mind went back to what happened some days agoI narrated everything that I overheard Jonathan saying over the phone with someone else's to Aaron. I'm seriously worried that he might do something crazy to my family. They're all I've got. I really have no idea he's crazy as Aaron had said. All Aaron said about him was nothing but the truth. Aaron promised to do something about it which I waited patiently for him to do not until I was on my way out this morning and I suddenly felt someone hit me at the back of my neck. And now, I found myself here. "Hello princess, you're awake!" He said in a sweet voice."You son of a bitch! How dare you do this to me! Untie me, now!" I yelled at him.H

Sophia CensatioHuh? How does he expect me to answer that?"I'm sorry, Jon. Please, just let me go, okay? I promise. I won't tell Aaron or anyone that you were the reason behind my disappearance." I said, hoping he would listen to me and let me go." Do I look like a fool to you? I can't do that. I can't grant your request not after you ruined my plan.""Your plan?.""Yes, my plan. You know what I'm talking about and stop pretending." He hissed.Of course, I know what he was talking about but... How did he know though? Or, could it be that Amanda told him already about it? "Jonathan, what plan are you talking about?." I know, I'm crazy for asking such a question but, I just want him to say it with his mouth. I want him to admit it himself."Stop acting like you have no idea of what he's talking about, bitch!" A very familiar feminine voice said as the door opens and she walked into the room elegantly."Cyn .. Cynthia?!!!!" I'm shocked.What's she doing here?"You ruined not only his
His Substitute Bride 113
Sophia Censatio"You have no idea of what you're talking about! Can you listen to yourself speak? You don't sound normal! You intend to ruin someone else's family all because you're envious of me? How could you utter a thing like that? Oh! Now, you can't take it anymore because he has moved on with his life with another woman? You suddenly want to take revenge? Aaron was never yours, if he were to be then, you wouldn't have left him for another man. Admit your mistake, you were just after the two men's money. You do not love either of them. You're a fool for thinking you're sounding like a human right now because you are not.""How dare you talk back at me?!" She asked angrily and slapped me across my face."Philip". I heard her call someone's name.A guy walked in and stood beside the entrance of the room. "Yes, boss." He said. "lock her up, she mustn't be given any food, not until I said so." She ordered and walked out of the room.What do they want from me? None of them is saying

Aaron Samuel"Stop right there!" One of the officers said to him making him stop on his track."Hands up, Mr. Jonathan." He raised his hand and smirked at me."Finally, you found her, huh?.""Fucking shut your mouth up, you bastard!" I glared at him before shifting my gaze back to Sophia. She looks so helpless right now. Her face says it all... so pale.Two officers moved closer to him and handcuffed him before he was taken away."Aa... Aaron?... You... You came for me?". She whispered in a low voice.I don't know what came over me but I can't move my legs, I ought to move closer to her and scoop her up in my arms, right? I've been missing her badly for the past four days and now, that I've finally found her... I stood there without attempting to walk up to her and embrace her in my arms."Aaron, I... I can't... please help-". Those were her last words before she slumps on the floor and her eyes shut tightly."Sophia!! Sophia please, open your eyes! What happened?! I'm right here, not

Sophia Censatio8 Months laterIt's been three months already. Everything is now in places. If there's anything I'm so sure of right now is, my family is complete once again. Eight months ago, Aaron did his best in making it up to him and I must say that, he really tried his best. I almost had a misunderstanding with him because of that so called girl Alissa. He begged me and told me it was all a mistake. Everything happened when he lost his memory and he regretted his actions. I forgave him though and my parents, both my mom, I did forgive them also. Weeks later, I have no idea of what Cynthia was thinking, she came to me and apologized to my husband and I. Not only that, I also reconciled with my sister, Bianca and brother, Joseph too. Did I also tell you that Jonathan came to ask for a forgiveness? Well, he did. And now, he is going out with Cynthia again, hopefully, the two will get married at the same time with Nathan and Tiana. Well, that's what I've been hoping for. Six mon

Sophia CensatioThe doctor, who I assumed was a friend of Aaron's, checked my arm for a few minutes before looking up at him and telling Aaron that everything would be fine. She prescribed me medications and told me to take them constantly without missing them. She leaves the room and Aaron follows. I swear, I saw the look she gave my husband. A loving and seductive look. My whole body suddenly heated up with jealousy. I get up from Aaron's bed and follow them in silence without them noticing. I saw her cross her hand over her chest and give Aaron a seductive look. I knew it! I knew something was wrong when she bit her lip before leaving the room prematurely. "What are you doing Alissa?" Aaron asked her as she suddenly approached him and put her hand on his chest. I was very calm not to be noticed, even though I'm seething with rage right now. “Stop your stupid trick, idiot, tell her to stop touching you like that and you're my man. make her understand, idiot" I wanted to come out

Sophia Censatio"Hmm," I mumbled. " What the hell ! How dare she?" he shouted angrily."He saved me from her, thanks to Jonathan who was there when she attacked me."“Damn it! I can't believe she's here to show her face and do this to you.” Saying that, he hissed.“Can we forget that for a moment? My right arm hurts Aaron." i cried for him.Before I knew what he was doing, he grabbed me, picked me up in a bridal style. "Aaron!!! What are you doing?" I asked him."Aaron, where are you taking me?" I asked again as he left my room. "That's up to me to know and up to you to find out." he says as he kisses my cheek."Okay, I don't know where you're taking me, but can you at least drop me off? I don't want people to see us like this," I said."Why? You are my wife. As much as I can proudly show you to the world, I don't care what other people think." He kissed my cheek again as he said that.Well, this person is no longer acting normal. I'm still surprised he wasn't totally upset after see

Sophia Censatio"Sofia! Are you okay?" he asked again concerned. I look at him and sneered at him, I can't believe you had the courage to show me his face after everything he did to me. "Jonathan, what do you think you're doing here?"" how did you get into my room? who told you I was here?" I ask him questions.“Sofia, can you at least let me explain? You didn't let me explain and you're so upset at me for what-""Wait a minute, did you say upset?" I'm running out of patience now. “If I was upset at you, I would have told Aaron to put you in jail a long time ago. Listen, I have nothing to tell you. Get out of my room for now. I don't want to talk to you and I don't have to listen to you. Stay away and never come back. ""But Sofia, you...""I said you need to leave." I raised my hand to stop him from saying another word. My hands, shaking again. Now I can actually feel the pain behind my arm. I can't believe I hurt this arm badly earlier. "You're still the same, so stubborn," he sa

Sophia Censatio"Oh! How did I forget you're not close and I can totally understand what that means. Your mean mother, Ivy, has made my life unbearable ever since my father died. Not only did she made my life miserable, but she made me her tool. A tool to extract money from the rich.""What are you talking about ?!!""Why?! Why are you so surprised? Didn't you see how she almost made me take everything from Aaron? I was about to reach my goal when I found out that Aaron had signed all of his properties in your name. And now you think... I will allow you and that miserable mother to ever be happy? It has to be ruined, just like she ruined mine."“You know, I still feel weird about the whole thing because I can't believe we had the same father. And my biological mother has always been good to you and Ivy couldn't do that to me. My mother took care of you and Ivy makes my life miserable every day. Well, it looks like someone is in danger." Her face suddenly smells of danger.“Cynthia, do

Sophia CensatioWeek laterA week has passed since the incident. I heard from Aaron that Susan had left the country. She's in Greece now. But I wonder what she was doing there and how he knew where she was. She left without telling anyone... Kate, on the other hand, was very worried about her and her parents. But Aaron wanted nothing more than to catch her and make her pay for what she did to me.Even if she pays for what she did to me, it won't change anything for now. And Kate, she took such good care of her I think. I mean, I was told that. She sees her as the daughter she lost a year ago.Come back to me.Where do you think I live now? I am staying at one of the Aaron hotels. He wanted to take me home but I still can't. We had several conversations about staying in a hotel at the moment, which was very hard to convince. He told me he would only allow me to stay at his hotel.And I'm glad he understood that I want to be alone for now. I take the time to think clearly. And mom, I pi

Sophia Censatio"Don't touch me! I deserve to know the whole truth...and now that I know it, the woman I loved so much, the woman I would give my life for, the woman I would sacrifice my happiness for, ain't nothing like a liar. She ain't nothing but a cheat! She's a kidnapper!" I got mad and spat on her. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I'm so mean to her all of a sudden, but I have to tell her everything I'm thinking right now. It's too much for me to bear. I may seem strong, but I'm in deep pain with myself right now. "Sophia!!! How dare you call me a kidnapper?!" She demanded angrily and she stopped midway to hit me. My eyes widened in horror, but she stopped as she slowly withdrew her hand."Come on, hit me! Do it! Come on, hit me! After all, I'm not your biological daughter. I'm not yours, so hit me! Come on, hit me. Hit me all you want!" I took her hand and kept hitting my face with it.She tried to pull her hand away from mine, but mine was gripped so tightly. I wasn'

Sophia Censatio"Hello Alvira." I heard a voice, I mean, we all heard his voice behind us, me and my friends. Needless to say whose voice it was, of course it was Ivy.I wonder what this woman is doing here right now. She is the last person I want to see right now."Hi girls." She greets my friends. I can't take my eyes off her for a second. She was now a person who behaves like a good person. I can't believe she's the same Ivy I used to know. The ivy I knew was cruel, disrespectful, and ruthless, with no regard for the feelings of others. The ivy I see now is different from the ivy I knew before. The Ivy who doesn't care and act random but I know why the act all of a sudden. Well, nothing will change my mind just because of her sudden change in attitude."Hi, Ivy," Janet greeted her with a small smile on her face."Hello." Beth said."Hello Ivy. Good morning." Lexy greeted her."Hello." Chloe said.She walked over to where I lay on the bed and walked past my friends with a small sm

Aaron Samuel"Where is she now?" I asked Nathan."Okay, I haven't heard from her since the accident, she's been missing since yesterday.""So now, you're saying no one knows where she is?""I called David and I think his call will come in now." Nathan said. Time passed and my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and kept it. "Yes David?""Boss, we found her whereabouts. She's in Greece."" Greece? ! What the hell is she doing there without paying for her sin?" I wasn't talking to anyone in particular, more likely to myself."Good. Please send me all information on her whereabouts immediately.""Okay boss, Roger that." he said. "Boss…" he reminded me before I hung up. "What is it, David?""I have something important to share with you."“Look David, whatever you want to tell me can wait…I'm sure it doesn't matter as much my wife's. if it's not about my wife, set everything aside for now.""Exactly, boss. But that goes for you too, it has to do with your wife.""What happened to my wi
