Married To The Heartless Billionaire 42. Meeting Maxwell again
SOPHIA"Do you want a drink?" Adrian asked beside me."If water is the drink you will get for me then that's fine," I replied."Sure, wait a minute," he said before walking away to get me water."Sophia."I heard a familiar voice call my name and I turned around to see who it belonged to."Max," I called in surprise as I wasn't expecting to see him here."Wow! You look stunning," he said, walking closer to me."Thank you," I responded."What brings you here?" I asked him."My cousin is one of the photographers for this event and he forgot his phone. I brought it for him," he said, showing the phone of his cousin."Oh, I see. I thought you must have returned to London. Have you seen your cousin?" 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
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 43. Mr Brian
ADRIAN CASTILLOI could tell Mr. Brian has been looking for opportunities to approach me as he kept looking over at where I was with Sophia. Some seconds after Sophia left my side, he hurried to meet me and I clenched my fist. I was very furious at him for what he did and the lies he told against my father-in-law.I treated Sophia and her family like trash because I felt they were deceitful people and looking for means to take my wealth.Ever since I got to find out the truth, I have been avoiding him because I was afraid I would do what I do not want to do."Adrian, what are you thinking?" He whispered through his teeth and I looked away from him, wanting to keep my cool with my fist clenched in my pocket."How could you keep her close knowing well she is working for her father. Did you forget what I told you? You cannot trust that woman," he said to me."Why? Why shouldn't I trust her? You must be forgetting she is my wife and I won't tolerate any slander against her," I said to hi
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 44. An old colleague
ADRIAN CASTILLOI could tell something was up with Sophia but I just couldn't tell what it was for the past two days now.Whenever I talk to her, she gives me a short reply and doesn't want to stay close to me.It has been bothering me. We were fine until that evening at the event. I have tried to think of wey possible things I might have done to have offended her but nothing came to my mind no matter how hard I tried.It was driving me insane. No woman has had me this worked up."Sir."I snapped out of my thought when my secretary Melinda called for my attention. I had completely zoned out as I recalled how Sophia had refused to look at me or even take the water I got for her when she choked on her food this morning.What have I done to offend her? I can't remember saying any hurtful words to her or treating her bad so what have I done wrong?" I just couldn't tell.I cleared my throat."What is it?" I asked her."The board wants to hear your opinion about the project idea by Mr. Sanc
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 45. The cause
ADRIAN CASTILLOThe meeting I expected to end as soon as possible ended up taking longer and I do not regret it.I do not know how Justin and I came to the point of talking about relationships but I ended up talking about Sophia.She has been disturbing my heart and I needed to get it off my chest."Just confess to her. Do not hold it in. I mean tell her how you feel," he advised."But I have done that," I told him, running my finger through my hair."You have? Do you realize there are ways you confess to a woman and she knows you want something more and this woman is your wife? Just tell her that you have fallen for her. Be completely honest with her and tell her what you want. Women love a straightforward man," Justin said and I sighed.Maybe I haven't done that. Sophia might have thought I just wanted to have a friendly relationship with her but I want something more than that."Maybe that's what I should do. Thanks so much, Justin. It felt nice telling someone about this. It has b
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 46. Confession
SOPHIA CASTILLO"What... What are you doing here?" I asked Adrian who had just let himself into my room without knocking. "Why didn't you come to me?" He said, surprising me with his actions."Come to you for what?" I asked him frantically."You heard what Mr. Brian said to me and instead of you to come to talk to me about it, you concluded and then you began to avoid me. Why didn't come to ask me?" He asked and my lips parted in shock.Was he expecting that I approached them and challenged them? Was he expecting that I make a scene by denying the allegations against my father? I wondered what he expected me to do.Right from the moment he saw me, he never hid his dislike and he made it hard to approach him so why would I go against him."What...what..." I stuttered, furrowing my brows in confusion."What you heard is not exactly what you think is it?" He said."Then what is it?" I asked him."It's simple, okay. I used to suspect your father because before I got married to you or got

SOPHIA CASTILLO"Yes."I heard him say.****It's been over a week since Adrian confessed his feelings to me and we have been trying to get to know one another.Unlike the other time when he asked us to be friends, now it's different.We still have our respective rooms but now, he tries to get me even involved in a lot in his life while I also talk to him too.We've gone out on dates, had fun, watched movies, and teased one another. It felt nice really warming up to him and so far he has been respectful to me.There were times we almost kissed but he pulled back at the last minute which made me wonder why but I never questioned him."Hi," Adrian said as soon as I let him into my room."Hi," I replied."What brings you to my room?" I asked him."I didn't tell you this because I just got told last night and I didn't want to wake up. I am going on a business trip for two weeks but I'd try my best to finish everything up and return to you," he informed me and I felt my stomach sink."You

SOPHIA CASTILLO POV "Sophia, I want you to meet Peter. He is my pilot," Adrian introduced a tall bearded man to me.I shook his stretched hands. "Hi," I said."Nice to meet you," he said."Nice to meet you too," I replied him."Come on," Adrian said to me, and with his hands on the small of my back, he led me to the private jet."Are you okay?" He asked me."Yes, I'm fine," I said to him before settling down on the sits.I have been on planes before but it felt different in a private jet compared to a plane.Adrian and I spoke for a while before I fell asleep and woke up when Adrian told me that we have arrived at our destination. I yawned with my palm covering my mouth as my eyes closed.I stretched my arms afterward before taking Adrian's hands and getting up from where I was seated."Here." Adrian wrapped his jacket around me."Don't want my baby shivering," he said and I felt my heart skip from the endearment he used on me."Welcome, Mr. Castillo and..." The man trailed off when

When I came back,I was expecting Adrian to be back but to my surprise he wasn't back. Maybe that was why he didn't call me.I was tempted to call him but I decided not to as I believe he was in a meeting and I didn't want to distract him.I decided to while away time by reading a book I came across in the bedroom but ended up sleeping.My eyes flutter up and in a blurry state, I saw Adrian backing me while shirtless. He seemed to he talking on the phone as I heard his speak.I rubbed my eyes with my hand and yawned."You are awake," Adrian said, sitting down on the bed while staring at me. "When did you come back?" I asked him, sitting down on the bed."An hour ago. I saw you sleeping and decided not to disturb you. How was your day?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear."It's was good and yours?" I asked him."Stress

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?"

"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?"

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
