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

SOPHIA CASTILLOI returned back to the penthouse five hours after I left with Ozge, the person Adrian had told me would be coming over to keep me company. 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

SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian patted the empty side of the bed close to him for me to come to lie on. I just came out from the bathroom and was in my pajamas.I made my way to the bed and sat on it. He adjusted and pulled me closer to him."How are you feeling?" He asked me."I'm tired and I want to sleep," I replied to him. My heart was racing faster than normal as he was this close to me.I doubt I'd ever be able to get having him close to me."I have been wanting to ask you this, I hope you don't find it offensive," he said, playing the button on the top of my pajamas.I wondered what he had in mind and what he has been wanting to ask him. "What is it?" I asked sounding a little nervous. "You have a high school classmate, right? I mean I know you went to high school but did you further?" He asked I was surprised by his question as I never thought he would ever ask me that."Yes, I did further but I had to stop because firstly, my father issues, and secondly I got married to you and we

ADRIAN CASTILLOI really felt bad for how I treated Sophia and the tone I used on her. I wish I could take it back but I couldn't and I could tell that she wasn't happy with me. We were progressing and suddenly she has to bring my dead parents up and I got triggered. I am still unable to get over their death simply because I witness them being killed in front of me.It was one of the most terrifying memories of mine. It took me months to finally fall asleep even though I still dream of them.I didn't like talking about them because it only reminded me of the painful days of my life and how I wished I had died.Sophia has been avoiding it since she woke up. When I speak to her, she gives me short replies and it hurts me."What would you like for breakfast?" I asked her as I asked the woman on the phone to wait for some seconds."Anything is fine," she replied, reading the magazine in her hand."Just bring in the same food for two persons," I told the woman before ending the call.I

SOPHIA CASTILLOI wasn't angry with Adrian. I was just hurt. Firstly I didn't like the tone he spoke to me and how dismissive he sounded and secondly, I wanted to know why he said topics about his parents should never be brought up.He knows a lot about me but I do not know much about it and it's sad. If we wanted our relationship to work out, we needed to know about each other.It would have been better if he had told me nicely that he didn't want to talk about his parents the way he told me and it hurt my feelings.I guess he doesn't care about me as much as he claims.I had refused to go out with Ozge today as I wasn't in the mood and all I did was text Evelyn but I didn't tell her about the issues between Adrian and me.I heard the sound of the door opening and I knew Adrian was back. Instantly I acted as if I was sleeping on the couch because I didn't want to speak to him."Sophia, where are you?" I heard Adrian say d his footsteps became louder. I knew he was fast approaching wh

SOPHIA CASTILLOI watched as Adrian took in a deep breath and exhaled for the umpteenth time as he prepared to tell me about his parents.We had returned after eating dinner like twenty minutes ago and Adrian called me to join him on the bed.He clasped his fingers with mine and has been inhaling and exhaling. "I don't even know where to start," he managed to say after a while."I already told you that you do not have to force it if you are not ready to say it yet. You do not have to work, I'm not mad at you," I assured him. "You don't get it, do you, Sophia?" He asked and I shook my head."I don't," I answered."Have you ever witnessed people being killed in from of you before?" He asked and I stared at him frantically not understanding where the conversation was leading."No..." I shook my head.He exhaled deeply. "Fourteen years ago, my parents were both killed in front of me and I barely survived," he said and I gasped."What?" I couldn't believe my ears.Nobody knew this story

SOPHIA CASTILLOit has been over three since I was saved from the hands of Jessica. Adrian got discharged from the hospital two days ago and Jessica killed herself because she refused to be arrested and taken away.I thought I was going to lose Adrian. 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 walked towards the bed to help him sit up as it seems that was what he wanted to do."You do not have to worry," he told me."No. Not at all. I have to. Here you go." 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. "I slept well." He smiled."Goodness, eve

JESSICA FRANCISCO It hurts. It hurts so much that I felt my cheek and stomach burn in pain and my head bang. It was all because of her and I am going to end her today. He wants her. No matter what I do he wants her. All he talks about is her. All he thinks about is 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. He has been out of character lately and it's all because of her. I will kill her, send her body to him and when he sees her dead body, maybe he'd come back to his senses and move on and by moving on, I mean with me.I will kill her today. There is no need to spare her life anymore. She needs to die because that's the okay way I can have Adrian. I reached the construction site where I had kept her. I came out of my c
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,"
Married To The Heartless Billionaire 108. So far so close
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
