SOPHIA

I 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

    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

    SOPHIA CASTILLO"You look beautiful," Adrian said to me as I admired myself through the standing mirror."Thank you," I said to him, staring at him through the mirror."Are you ready?" He asked.We were yet to leave for the wedding location but it wasn't time yet. We had thirty minutes before the wedding begins."Shall we?" Adrian said, stretching his hands forth for me to take and I take them hesitantly. "Excuse me, I want to spend some time with my Evelyn," I told him and he nodded his head permitting me.He pulled me back closer to him just as I was about to leave and whispered in my ears. "Do not take long." I felt a jolt of electricity run down my spine when he whispered into my ears."There is the wedding girl," I said as soon as I entered the room Evelyn was in. "You look really good," I told her with a smile on my face."Thank you," she replied me smiling back at me."How are you feeling?" I asked her.Looking at her in her wedding dress only reminded me of my wedding and

    SOPHIA CASTILLO"Where are my clothes?" I asked Sarah the moment I noticed that my clothes were gone."Oh, I forgot to inform you. While you were away, Master Adrian said to move back your clothes to his room," she said and my eyes widened in shock."What? He asked that my stuff be moved back? Why? When?" I asked, surprised by what I had just heard."Last week Wednesday," she replied to me and I facepalmed myself. He gave me the right to leave so why did he move my stuff back and why didn't he inform me? I walk to his room to go and ask him the reason for his sudden change of mind. I knock on the door of his room but got no reply from him and so I entered to see that he wasn't in. I left the room and went to his office at home. I knocked on the door and I heard him say I should come in."Sophia," he called, getting up from where he was seated as soon as he saw me."What brings you here?" He asked, he sounded concerned and curious at the same time. I took in a deep breath and exhal

Since then we have been trying to get to know one another.The next day, he took me out to fancy five-star restaurants. He said he didn't wasn't used to things like this but he just wants to try things out."Yes. I love them all. I can't choose the one I want to wear for the event since they all match the theme," I told him."Well, I had one in mind but I wanted you to be the one to choose for yourself but since you are having difficulty choosing, why don't you wear the one with the beads. I think that would look better on you," he said and I carried the dress with beads on the bed with my hands to take a look at it.It did stand out compared to the other two dresses."Fine then," I told him."Okay. I will call you later today when the driver comes over to pick you up. Take care of yourself," he said."Sure and thanks once again

It was Sarah who went with my father when necessary most times.The driver announced some seconds ago to me that we have arrived at our destination but I was too nervous to get down of the car.Gently, I opened the car door and stepped out of the car with my heart beating fast in my chest. Just as I came out of the car, the paparazzi began to flash the lights of their camera at me making me nervous. I began to make my way to the entrance and stepped on my dress and lost my balance but thankfully I was caught by someone."Take it easy Sophia, imagine I had not arrived on time.

I asked him and he shook his head."I'm still looking for him," he replied, his eyes trailing me from head to toe."Goodness, you are such a sight to behold," he said and I blushed."Thanks for the compliment," I told him.I heard someone clear their throat from behind me and I know it could o

"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?"

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

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,"

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
