ADRIAN CASTILLO

Mr. Brian, a close client of mine disclosed that Seth Cox is going to every place he could to get help so that he would pay back the investors and save his company.

Mr. Brian told me that Seth Cox only cares about being wealthy but he doesn't want to take the necessary process to be wealthy.

Some days later the news came out and the investors threatened to arrest and throw his family in jail if he doesn't give them back their money. He came to my grandfather and my grandfather saw that as a perfect opportunity to get one of his daughters as my bride.

When I heard the news that day I was very furious.

***

"What do you mean Grandfather? I cannot marry her. How can you suggest I marry someone whose reputation is questionable?" I said to my grandfather in anger.

The good thing about me was that when I was angry, I never raised my voice.

I was trained that way. Even in the toughest situation, I knew just how to manage the situation and keep myself composed.

    ADRIAN CASTILLO"Fuck!" I cursed.I do not know what to do at this point. Those eyes of Sophia haunted me and I wanted to give in to her and let her see her parents.I have never been one to go back on my words but for some reason, I wanted to give in and let her go see them."Maybe it is because she watches you and took care of you," I muttered to myself.That was why I didn't want her coming close to me. From the first day, I saw her, I knew she was going to be a different kind of human being and the type that I wouldn't like.She cried too much and looked at me as if she was innocent when she wasn't."Fuck!" I cursed.I inserted the key into my car and drove off. I needed to leave this vicinity for my mental health. I need to stay away just like I did before because I couldn't stand her.She had some kind of strange effect on me that I could not comprehend and I hated it because I have never found anything too hard to handle before. SOPHIA CASTILLOI woke up to my neck aching fro

    SOPHIA CASTILLOMy heart pounded in my chest as I looked around for a towel to wrap around myself.After wrapping a towel around myself, I exhaled before folding my arms around my chest.Adrian was still standing at the door, staring at me with a blank facial expression.Could I blame him for not looking away or not apologizing for coming in without knocking or asking for my permission? I was so pissed at him but at the same time, I knew I couldn't be pissed. He is my husband but that doesn't give him the right to barge into the room without knocking."What do you want?" I asked.I watch as he swallowed the lump in his throat while rubbing the back of his neck.Did I just see Adrian nervous? I thought to myself but before I could decipher it was all gone. Adrian cleared his throat. "I came to ask you if you saw any files on the nightstand two nights ago?" He asked."Some files? Yes. I did take them from the nightstand. I kept them for you," I told him and he nodded his head."Where ar

    SOPHIA CASTILLOI felt my mouth dry from the heat that oozed around me. I was mentally fighting with myself to push him and end the tension between us but I couldn't do anything.It felt as if I were craving his touch and his hold on me felt like what I needed the most. "Tell me, Sophia, that you do not like what is happening between us right now. Tell me that you are not glad you are slowly succeeding to get me this close. Isn't that what you have always wanted? Aren't you happy you are getting it now? So when you finally get me on your webs, what next?" He asked and that was all I needed to snap out of it.I knew it was going to come to this. All he was doing was stirring my feelings so he could use that as confirmation that my family and I were planning something about him.I pushed him away from him. "Do no. Come any closer to me," I warned as tears blurred my eyes.Why are you always crying, Sophia! I scolded myself mentally. "And there she goes again, those tears of hers are t

    SOPHIA CASTILLOI thought I must have heard Adrian wrong. I got up from the bed perplexed. I must have heard him wrong, I said to myself.Adrian had refused me to see my parents and he made it clear that he would never let me go see them as he suspected we were after him and his company but that same man had told me to go see them whenever I wanted and I should tell the drivers too.I dashed out of the room to go look for him so that I could confirm if what I heard was right or if I was not hearing properly.I was able to catch Adrian just before he drove off. I tapped on the car window for him to wound down.He did. "What is it?" He asked."Are you serious about me going to see my parents? Are you joking about it or you are serious?" I asked him panting."If you have hearing problems, you should go see the doctor but if not, then ask yourself if you heard me well or if I wasn't too loud enough for you to hear," he replied.He wound back the car window and drove off. Adrian said I co

    ADRIAN CASTILLOMy eyes met with Sarah and she pinched Sophia as if giving her a sign to stop talking."What is it? I still find it hard to believe. I mean after making me cry and accusing me, he is permitting me to go see my parents. Isn't it fishy?" Sophia questioned her.I saw how Sarah swallowed the lump in her throat and I knew she was avoiding responding to Sophia's question because of my presence.I couldn't help but wonder what their relationship was for Sophia to be conversing with a maid."Anyways. I am glad he said so. I doubt he came back last night. Probably left as usual and would come back a week later," she said. She opened her pot and the aroma filled the room once again and my stomach rumbled. I never thought she could cook and I never thought she could do anything."I miss my mother so much. If I had my way, I wouldn't come back to this place," she sighed and for some reason, I didn't find her statement pleasing.Sarah pinched Sophia but Sophia was oblivious to her

    SOPHIA CASTILLO"Kiss me."I heard Adrian say and my heart skipped."Kiss me, Sophia," he repeated.My breath hitched in my throat. I was unable to think at that moment. I didn't know what to say to him or how to react to him."Why... Why should I kiss you and how is that going to prove otherwise?" I asked him, stuttering."If you indeed do not plan to seduce me, then kiss me without touching me," he said and groaned mentally.Adrian is insane! There are no two days about it. I wasn't going to kiss him because I knew he would only use that as a reason to accuse me. He knows just what he was doing."Can I go now, Adrian?" I asked, avoiding eye contact with him."Go where? Why are you leaving? You suddenly don't have balls or what?" He asked and I rolled my eyes mentally.I was too nervous having him this close beside Ms but at the same time, I didn't like the way he was talking to me."I do not need balls Adrian and I am not a man, so let me go," I told him, pushing him slowly away fro

I never thought being away from them would hurt this much.The moment I stepped my feet into the mansion, I heaved a sigh of relief. I have been excited all through the ride that I couldn't contain my excitement.I was too eager to see my parents."Sophia."I heard my mother call the moment I entered the living room. She got up from her she was seated to meet me halfway and I rushed to meet her so that I could hug her.My mother gave me the best hug. "Mother," I called, heaving a sigh of relief now that I was in her arms.I have missed her so much. It felt as if she was the oxygen I needed to breathe. I have never thought I would be able to feel this much alive after I began to stay with Adrian."I've missed you so much Sophia," my mother said, hugging me tightly."I've missed you too mother," I cried into her

She is all that he ever speaks of as if none else but her mattersNot only had he constantly reminded me that he married her, but he also won't stop to say that he loves her and no matter what she will be the one in his heart.He almost fought with someone because of her and he got drunk because of her.

    ADRIAN CASTILLOI have sent thinking of how how to go about the thoughts I have in my mind. I have been restless.The same question kept ringing in my head. "Why does Jessica have so many of my pictures and is she truly aware of Sophia's whereabouts?"I wanted to speak to something about this but I do not trust anyone after all Sophia's life is at stake here. I needed to be logical with anything that I wanted to do for her safety.I decided to call Jessica and ask where she was. After two rings, she answered the call."Hey," I said as soon as the call went through."Hi." She replied. I suddenly do not know what to say anymore but I couldn't be speechless for long and so I let the words that were in my mouth roll out my tongue without thinking about it."Are you at home?" I asked."Yes. I am. Is there a problem?" She asked."No. Not at all. It's just I haven't seen you today. Did you go somewhere or you have been at home all day?" I asked, suddenly knowing what to say."Yes. I have be

    SOPHIA CASTILLOJessica walked closer to me with a smile on her face and I knew there was something behind it but what I guessed is that she have something stupid to tell me or she wants me to spit on her face because I do not mind doing the latter."How have you been? Have you been enjoying the company of Carlos?" She asked.I glared at her. "Tell this stupid pig to stop molesting me and touching me inappropriately, at least you are paying him so he should use his senses!" I spat "Why would I? I paid him to kidnap you and everything he wants to do to you then he can. Why did you think that your complaining to me would make me do anything?" She clicked her tongue."I did not come here for that. I came here for another reason," she replied."At least have some shame and also I am pregnant and a married woman. Try to consider that it could be you too," I retorted.He placed her hand on the arms of the chair that I was tied to. "At least they let you pee, don't they? Do not let me give

    ADRIAN CASTILLOIf someone told me that I would find myself in this situation three weeks ago, I would have denied. And if someone had told me that my wife would be kidnapped on her birthday then I would have protected her and made sure that she was safe and sound and by all time by her side.Three weeks since I last saw Sophia. Three weeks since last spoke to one another. Three weeks since k last saw her beautiful face. Three weeks since I wrapped my arm around her and three weeks of pain and anger.Whenever I thought we were almost close and I was going to get her, it doesn't happen. It hurts me so much that no matter how hard I try I just cannot sit down and not cry.It was the same story from every source. Was she dead? Why was she kidnapped? Everything was unclear and no matter how hard i thought about it, nothing at all. "Hey."I darted my eyes to see who it was. It was Jessica. She has been coming to check on me everyday and I was grateful for that. My grandfather has also bee

    The lady who had ordered the kidnap of Sophia comes into the place where Sophia was with her face hidden.Sophia was yet to know the identity of the woman but she looked very familiar to her. She asked her the first time the woman revealed her identity to her why she took her but instead the woman asked them to tape her mouth and cover her eyes."What do you want from me? It's almost two weeks. Why don't you..." Sophia trailed when she felt her stomach ache.They've barely been feeding her and not only that, Carlos has been trying to molest her too. He hits her if she spits on him for touching her boobs and once he threatened to kick her belly until she loses weight baby."I want you out of the way." The lady replied."Your voice sounds familiar, why don't you just reveal your face so that I know you, and have I ever offended you before?" Sophia asked."You have offended me in so many ways, Sophia. A lot more ways than you have realized and I do not have any intention to return you,"

"This is Sancho and this is Parker. They work with Carlos and were the two guys who were with him the night your wife went missing," An officer informed us."Where is Carlos?" Detective decker asked."Why don't you just kill us instead because if we tell you that we do not know where he is, you won't believe us." The man named Sancho said."Why did you say that so soon? It's not as if we plan to kill too when we know that's granting your wish. Why don't you do something for me, I mean it's going to be a win-win for us.

    "Ma'am when will you reveal yourself to Sophia?" Carlos asked the woman who had hired him to kidnap her.He was yet to see her face properly as each time she approached them, it was in a dim room and she always has glasses on and a hat too."I would love to reveal myself but when I eventually do, it is to kill her. I do not plan to return her back to her husband. I want her out of the way for me to have him," she replied."Why not kill her already? Why keep her if you have no intention to contact her husband to tell him you have her?" Carlos boss asked.She let out a small laugh. "To punish her and also punish him a little.""Can you explain better?" Carlos boss Anderson asked."I am not supposed to tell you what I plan to do as I am the one paying you and not the other way round but I will tell you," she replied and folded her legs."She stole my man.

    SOPHIA CASTILLOI opened my eyes to see myself on a dark room with barely any light in it. My body aches and when I made an attempt to move, I realize that I couldn't as I was tied to a chair.Where was I? How did I come here?I thought to myself before I recalled how the power went out at the hall I was celebrating my birthday and how someone had grabbed me from behind.I groaned lightly. "Hello!" I called out."Hello!" I called out."Anybody here?" I said out loud.The door open and a massive ray of light entered the room but soon it was dark again when the man closed the door. "You better keep it down or I'm gonna hit you," he warned, coming closer to me."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked.I have not offended anyone so I do not understand why I was kidnapped. What was their intention or perhaps, did they get the wrong person? I thought to myself."I am the one that brought you here on someone's order. You will see that peers on soon," he replied. "Are you sure i
