Married To The Heartless Billionaire 30. Surprising her
SOPHIA CASTILLOIt's been over two weeks since I came back from my parent's place and two more weeks until my cousin's wedding.The funny thing about it all is that Adrian has been different towards me. He has been nice and friendly to me and is always speaking to me in a friendly tone and trust me when I tell you it makes me nervous.I couldn't help but think there was an ulterior motive to his actions because he wasn't this nice to me before.It's as if he is trying to get to know me so that he could find more reasons to accuse me."Good morning," I yawned as I joined him at the dining table.He had someone go wake me up, surprising me as he has been the one waking me up for the past week."Good morning to you too," he replied.My eyes met with his for the shortest seconds and I felt my heart skip.He has been looking at me differently compared to the times he always had a cold look in his eyes."Come sit beside me," he said and my heart skipped again.I wasn't used to friendly Adri
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 31. Feeling guilty
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian asked me not to let you know he was around. How do you expect me to go against my boss I kept pinching you that day so you would stop talking but you didn't and kept talking," Sarah defended and I sighed?"Okay then. But I do not trust Adrian even if I want to," I told her."It's okay not to trust him but, surprisingly, he is different now compared to before," Sarah said, piquing my curiosity."What do you mean by that?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me."Adrian doesn't smile with another. Adrian isn't friendly. Adrian doesn't have or keep company. Adrian doesn't talk for too long and I do not know if you haven't noticed it but Adrian Castillo now is different from Adrian Castillo then. This Adrian isn't the same man you met when you first knew him and I am sure you have also noticed that. He doesn't speak harshly to you and it's been a long I saw you cry," she expatiates.She does have a point. Now that I thought of it, I haven't been in a bad mood for
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 32. The kiss
SOPHIA CASTILLOI must be hearing wrongly. I definitely must be hearing wrongly.For the past week, Adrian has been surprising me with his attitude and now he was talking to me about freedom.Memories of when I first knew Adrian resurfaced in my head. It doesn't seem right. It suddenly felt as if the man in front of me wasn't Adrian and a different person entirely.It felt as if he had been switched and the man talking to me right now is someone else.That wasn't the only thing that surprised me but he was talking to me as if we have been friends for a very long time.Everything seemed different and I closed my eyes and opened them many times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.It felt too real to be true. Firstly, he volunteered to drive my shopping and now he was talking about my freedom.I opened my mouth to say something but closed them back.We arrived at the mall and I expected Adrian to drive back but instead, he told me to wait inside the car, he came down from the car, walked to
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 33. Trying to comprehend
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian pulled back from the kiss and locked eyes with me. I shivered the moment our eyes met. Before I could comprehend anything, he claimed my lips once again and my eyes involuntarily closed as I held unto his shirt tightly, trying to control the rate at which my heart was beating.My knees became weak. My brain literally stopped functioning and I began to kiss him back or rather just copying his movement against my lips.I moaned into the kiss and snapped out of it when I realize what I had done. I pulled back from Adrian, leaving a little space between us as I tried to comprehend all that had just happened.I was supposed to try my dress and leave but I ended up kissing Adrian or rather he kissed me and I kissed back.I heard Adrian clear his throat. "There dress looks nice on you," he said but the awkward tension between us was present.I said nothing to him in return and made an attempt to take off my dress. My heart was beating fast in my chest as I struggled
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 34. It’s fine
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Thanks so much for coming Sophia," my cousin sister Evelyn said to me after pulling back from our hug.I've missed her so much. I was glad that Adrian allowed me to come to her wedding."I've missed you too. How have you been?" She asked."I have been fine and you?" I replied with a smile on my face.Evelyn pulled me back again for a hug, surprising me with her action and she began to pat my back lightly."It will all be fine Sophia. Trust me when I tell you so. It will be fine. She will be back," Evelyn said and it dawn on me what was happening.I took in a deep breath and exhaled. Tears blurred my eyes when I realized that Sarah wasn't here as she should have been.It would have been a blast having my sister here with me.I still couldn't believe Sarah had it in her to stay away from her family. She didn't bother calling or checking on us or even leaving an anonymous or random message to tell us how she was doing."Come let's go meet my mom," she said, leading me to
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 35. Missing her
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Of course, he is not that friendly or nice to anyone but there is nothing to talk about," I told her I'm a dismissive tone.Evelyn narrowed her eyes at me before sitting back on the bed."I know it's an arranged marriage and I heard from my mom what happened. Sarah was supposed to marry him but she ran away and you took her place instead. You know you can talk to me right? Is he bad to you?" She asked, taking a hold of my hand and I sighed.Adrian was bad to me at first but lately, things have changed. He wasn't bad anymore but I couldn't understand what was going on and what was happening to me lately when he comes around."Trust me when I say there is nothing to talk about. He was just asking if I have eaten. I mean it's not a big deal. You know I would talk to you if there was something to talk about," I told her, hoping he lets go.Thankfully she did."Fine. Come let's go get you something to eat. Tomorrow, we will start with a lot of planning. I mean we already m
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 36. A surprise visit
SOPHIAI stared at Adrian in surprise as he conversed with my aunt Paloma.I wasn't expecting him to come here at all. He didn't even inform me of his plans and then he showed up just before dinner with some gifts in his hands looking dashingly handsome."It's such an honor to have you here. Sophia did not tell us that you were coming," my aunt's husband, Philip said to Adrian.I was still standing where I was, watching as they conversed, still trying to comprehend if he was right in front of me or if it was all an imagination."I also didn't inform her. I wanted to surprise her," he replied to my uncle."Well then. You came just right for dinner. The wedding is tomorrow and it's a lot of work this week," Uncle Phillip said."If you don't mind excusing me to have some minutes with my wife," Adrian said and at the mention of the word wife, I felt my heart flutter.Adrian had changed in the past few days and for me, I realize I didn't see him in the same way I did when we first got marr
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 37. What are we?
SOPHIA CASTILLO POINT OF VIEW"Here we are," I said to Adrian, switching on the lights for him to see the room."Good," he said and I turned to look at him."Is it to your liking?" I asked inquisitively as I knew my cousin's house wasn't as big enough or has a big bed as the ones in his mansion.He chuckled. "Of course sweetheart. I mean if you like it, I like it," he said.His words surprised me. He was become very confident and spoke to me as if we have some kind of relationship.Or maybe we do have a relationship. I mean we are both married to one another and we kiss before so that means we have a relationship but I wasn't used to this side of him no matter how hard I tried. It was going to take a long way what were his plans and why was he acting and treating me the way that he was? I needed answers to all of my questions but each time I thought of it, I just couldn't understand."Okay then. I will go get you some towel so that you can shower and sleep," I said to him, attempting

Thankfully the bullet missed his heart but it did break me when I thought he stopped breathing for a moment.Everything was going normal for us. I have been helping Adrian with his needs and also taking care of myself too because I was pregnant and I was battered all thanks to Jessica."Hey," I said to Adrian when I noticed that he was awake.

I said as I helped him sit down."How are you feeling?" He asked me, resting his back on the headboard. "I'm doing good. Did you sleep well?" I asked, sitting down by his side on the bed.

Married To The Heartless Billionaire 112. Almost there
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
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 110. When will it end?
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
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 109. The identity of the mysterious woman
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,"

ADRIAN CASTILLOI arrived with detective decker at the station shortly. "Where are they?" Detective decker asked his men. "Over there sir," they replied and we went to meet them. "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. Tell us where Mrs. Castillo is and you leave you freely and you won't be taken to jail?" Detective Decker told him."How can I tell you something that I do not know?" Sancho replied rhetorically.I was furious. He was seen assisting Carlos In taking my wife and it's making me angry hearing h

"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. Adrian is mine and not her but she stole him and so I will kill her and have him because right from time he has always been mine," the

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
