Aaron Samuel"Please Aaron, I can-""You were not the one who got hurt, I did! Because you hurt me, I'm not healed yet, and now, you tell me to forget about everything that has happened?" I burst angrily at her. "I'm sorry okay? I know you're hurt and that's why I'm here, Aaron. I'm here to set things right between us. I've once lost you and I'm not ready to lose you again. I can make it up to you only if you give me the chance to. I'm ready to do anything just to set things right again between us" She said as she caress my cheek. Seeing her like this, I can't say or do anything other than a deep sigh that left my lip."I'm aware that dad wants you to take over his empire and he has been pressuring you to get married before he does. I'm here now, that's why I'm here to help you take over the empire. I heard, becoming the owner means, you'll become the richest man in the whole world. No one can beat you, not even the president of this country. I'm aware of how much the empire means

Sophia CensatioAll through the ride, I was thinking of Seb. I had promised I was going to treat him to lunch this afternoon but, Aaron had to show up and won't let me be. He wouldn't even give me the chance to talk. He kept threatening me he was going to kiss me if I let a word out. Seb on the other hand has been calling me but I can't pick up his call. I decide to send him a text.Hey! I'm sorry, something came up. I'm with Aaron right now. I'm going to make it up to you next time.Aaron's car came to halt and we both hopped down. I stood in front of the same restaurant we both came to eat at the other day and stood there looking staring around, stunned. Is this man joking right now? Why is he not scared of the paparazzi? What if, they took pictures and make false news about us? "Wh... Why are we here?" I asked him but the idiot only stood there smirking at me. "The last time we came here, you left me all alone. I couldn't even pay for the meal we took! Your mom had to!." I bu

Sophia Censatio"Of course, Mr. Blake. It will be a pleasure to work for you." I smiled as I answered him but, not without feeling Aaron's hard glare on my body. Me Blake left the meeting room and Aaron also left to receive a call. I was left in the meeting room with Nic... No, Jonathan. I hurriedly got up and pick up my bag to leave, I do not want to be in same place with him. He has fooled me enough and, it's so uncomfortable being alone with him in same place. I took my mini iPad and turned to leave but, he stopped me with his voice."Sophia please, don't go." He said as he hold my hand." I do not want to talk to you now. Just let me go""Sophia, I know you're upset at me and you have a lot of questions going through your mind right now but please, just give me the chance to explain myself.""A chance?!" I turned around and glared at him. "A chance you say? You got all the chance while we were together but what did you do? You never use those given chance!" " It's not what you
His Substitute Bride 54
Sophia Censatio"Yes, Sophia. Please, work for me. I promise you, I'm willing to pay you four times the amount he offered you. Just work for me, that's all I've asked for... huh?." He beseeches me as he holds my hand tightly in his."W..wh...what are you saying? Wo...wor...work for you? What about my work at Aaron's?.""Don't bother about that? I'm willing to pay you four times what he offered you." He repeated the same statement again."What nonsense are you talking about, Nic!" I burst angrily at him as I roughly yank my hand from his. I'm still not used to his new name."Sophia, I-""I can't." I immediately declined him.For some weird reason, I'm scared of leaving Aaron. I should be happy, right? If Nic won't add up to my salary, I should be happy that I've gotten a job and Aaron would finally be out of my life but, I don't want to leave him- for some weird feeling, I d don't have the gut to do that."Why?." He asked."Because I don't want. Yes, he may be arrogant and annoying at

Sophia CensatioI ran to where Aaron's car was parked and leaned against it and poured my heart out. I thought, he was sincere with me. I thought, he was someone I could always rely on and trust but.. everything was all lies. It's all fake. He wasn't genuine with me. His emotions towards me were all lies!I ought not to get myself worked up right? But, I trusted him so much but he lied to me! Not only that. He has someone else in his life but made me believe that I'm special to him."That's because you're stupid." I heard a voice say behind me. I jumped and turned around to face him. I gave him a quizzical face. What's he talking about?"I heard you, silly." He said in a small tone. I can't believe, I said that out loud.I watch him stare at me for a few seconds and sighed. He moved closer to me and muttered "stupid" before he wipe off my tears with his hands.I stared at him stunned. What's going on? What's happening? I can't believe, Aaron just wipe off my years rather than screa

Sophia CensatioI realized I was nothing but a pawn to him and suddenly pushed him away from me before running out of his. I couldn't breathe properly and ran as fast as I could to my house. I drop my bag on the floor and relaxed on my door just to catch a breath.What just happened? Oh my goodness! What does he think of me now? My whole body shivered again as I recalled how he held me tightly there in his car. I could still feel his touch on my body and the taste of his lip on mine.I brought my hand to my lip and touch it.Arrgh!!! You're getting crazy, Sophia- I groaned and smack my head softly.I took my bag and sat on the couch. Brought out my phone and dialed Janet's contact. "Tell me you call me for something important else, I'm going to roast you alive whenever I set my eyes on you." She threatened me as she pick up the call."I kissed him again." I said in a frustrated tone."Wait, what?! You kissed who? Girl, you better open up and tell me what exactly is going on. Stop be
His Substitute Bride 57
Sophia CensatioI laugh even though it's quite hard on her. "You crazy man! I wasn't talking to you, why did you have to do that?." She jumped on him and start to tickle him.That's Nic's weakest point. He doesn't like it when he's been tickled. "Admit that you're wrong and I will let you go." She said.I sat there smiling at the two. How great it would have been if mom was to be here now."Fine! I'm sorry." He said and she get off him."So, tell me my darling Sophia. Are you fired?.""No, I'm not. Except if you want me to be fired, I will gladly tell my boss to grant your wishes." I said. Even though I didn't mean what I had just said, she took it seriously and glared hard at me."Are you crazy, Sophia!! You want to be fired?!""Don't worry, I won't be fired anytime soon. At least, I'm going to work for him for the next months.""Months? And not years?." I shook my head at her and got up."Go in and get change. I'm going to prepare something for us to eat." I said and sauntered to t

Sophia Censatio"This is not about your relationship with someone else, I don't care about that but, you lied to me, Jonathan. You made me look like a fool and for that, I'm never going to forgive you. I trusted you with my whole heart and treated you like a friend but you betrayed my trust in you. Now, you want me to believe that you're genuine? What if, there's something more you're hiding from me? I can't just find it in me to believe you. Just give me some time... I can't face you right now." I said."Does that mean, you will give me a chance?.""What chance are you talking about?" I questioned, confused. "You just said to give you some time," He said. "I do not understand what you're talking about but, just give me enough time to think about the whole thing. You want me to believe every word that comes out from you but, I don't think now is the right to do that. I'm still upset at you." I said and the idiot's face lit up all of a sudden. Brute!"Thank you so much, Sophia. You

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
