Today is my first day at New York University and I'm nervous as hell. I mean I was going to college before I transferred and after my father's company issues, I had to stay off the spotlight.I'm seated in the car with Adrian who had personally decided to be my driver himself. I was glad he agreed to it and this morning, he had delayed me by five minutes because he refused to let go of me. He kept hugging me and telling me that he couldn't let me go because it would hurt him too."We are here," I said to him."And do you know what I want to do now?" He asked me."What?" I asked."I want to drive back home now and lock you but that would be selfish of me. I u to be happy. To do you and have an identity for yourself and maybe I'm a little selfish but you know I care for you a lot. I just don't want to see other men staring at you although I know that is impossible and if I could, I'd tell you to not make any male friends then I know that would only make me come out controlling. It's ju
SOPHIA CASTILLO POVIt's been over two weeks since I started schooling at New York University and things have been going fine. Every Friday I go back home and spend time with Adrian.It's just impossible to stay away from him for two minutes as he'd come to me immediately. He said he was taking advantage of the days I'd be with him.I fell more and more in love with him. Whenever I think of how we started and how we are now, I am amazed by it.I disliked the color blue because each time I looked at Adrian's eyes I was terrified but now it is my favorite color again.Adrian had not failed to shower me with love and care and each time, it made my heart melt. If there was a word stronger than love then it would be what I felt for Adrian.I've been staring at my phone for a while now as a text or a phone call has not come from Adrian today as he is always checking on me almost every hour but today it's different and it sent an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.I have been tempted t
SOPHIA CASTILLO POVI was contemplating if I should tell Adrian that I was going to a party full of college males and females or not.I didn't know why I didn't want to tell him, maybe because he might refuse me from going but at the same time I knew that he might agree as he has told me to go out with my friends and spend some time together.TO THE LOML: I'm going out with Annabella.Instantly a reply came from him.FROM THE LOML: Oh that's a good time. What time is it over there?TO THE LOML: It's past eight in the night.FROM THE LOML: Where are you guys going to?TO THE LOML: We are just hanging out with some of her friends and that's it.My mind was telling me to tell him the truth. To let him know where it was that I would be going to but I couldn't.It wasn't as if I was going to do a bad thing anyway.FROM THE LOML: okay baby. Have fun and don't forget to return before midnight. It's not like I'm detecting time for you but I just want you safe and do not forget to let me know
SOPHIA CASTILLOI tried calling Adrian's number after he ended the call with me but he didn't answer the call. When I tried calling him for the third time, his phone was switched off.Tears blurred my eyes as I ran my finger through my hair. I have messed up. I should have just told him the truth. Why didn't I?All I wanted now was for him to switch his phone back on and talk to me. I felt my chest tighten and the knots in my stomach churn all at the same time as I stood outside.This is our first fight since we officially became one and I wasn't expecting it to be this bad."Sophia," I heard Anabella's voice."You took so long you know. I was looking for you," she said as she got closer to me.All I wanted now was to go back to the hostel and cry because if I do not get to hear from Adrian later today, I wouldn't be able to sleep.The fact he isn't in the country makes it worse because if he was, I would have gone home to talk to him. The distance was killing me."What's wrong baby g
ADRIAN CASTILLO POVI read and reread the message Sophia sent to me for the umpteenth time now and as much as I tried to get over it, I just couldn't.I wasn't angry with her but I was disappointed because she didn't tell me. After all, she was worried that I wouldn't let her go.I might not have let her go but I will eventually let her go because it's her life and she is free to do what she wants. I trust her too but now she broke my heart.I had to switch off my phone yesterday because if I answered her call, I would say some words to her that I would regret later.My phone buzzed in my hand and Sophia's name appeared on my screen.I wanted to answer the phone and at the same time, I do not want to because I was still angry with her. She left her phone with a man and he dares to answer her phone call.I just couldn't help but want to see how she saved my line because if she had saved it as her husband, then he should have know not to answer the call and the words he said to me anger
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Are you listening to me?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Annabella's voice. We were currently at a restaurant close to our hostel getting food to eat."I'm sorry. What did you say?" I asked her."I see you barely listened," she sighed."Is it about your husband? Have you both not settled yet?" She asked me and I sighed.I hope we'll settle soon. He said he'd call me but I ended up not hearing from him throughout yesterday and today I've been expecting to hear from him but I haven't.I texted him last night before I slept but got no reply from him. I would have excused his actions if we were on good terms and all of this is happening but now that it's happening, all I can say is that he is intentionally ignoring me.Adrian doesn't go a day without texting me and it wouldn't cost him a second to check my messages.I get he is disappointed that I lied to him but now he was taking things too far and all I wanted to do was cry. I just hate myself for crying too
SOPHIA CASTILLO POVI ran to hug Adrian the minute I saw him come out of his private jet. I have missed him so much that when he told me that he was coming, I decided to meet him at the airport myself.I wrapped my arms and wounded him while he embraced me, pulling me impossibly closer to him."I've missed you," I told him while staring into his eyes.Two weeks felt like two years without him and I was grateful I was able to survive that distance."I've missed you too baby girl," he said, placing kisses all over my face and I guess giggled."I doubt you missed me enough," I teased."Really? Do you think that I do not miss you enough? Would you prefer I show it to you?" He asked, whispering in my ears and I felt a jolt of electricity run down my spine."Why don't you show me instead," I winked at him though I was terrible at it and he flickered my forehead."Come, let's go," he said, intertwining his fingers with mine and taking me towards the car with him."Have you eaten?" I asked Ad
ADRIAN CASTILLO POVI thrust one last time inside of Sophia and came before pulling out and rolling to the other side of the bed, panting hard and fast."That was amazing," I said while trying to catch my breath."Yeah. Oh my goodness!" She gasped."What is it?" I was concerned."You came inside of me," she said to me and I ran my finger through my hair. I adjusted on the bed and pulled her closer to me."I'm sorry and I'm not sorry," I said to her."You promised not to," she reminded me.I did promise her that I'd wait for her till she's ready to have a baby because she said she wasn't ready to be a mother now and she has college too."That is why I'm sorry. I couldn't stop myself," I told her. She suddenly went quiet making me bother. "What happened, baby? Are you mad at me," I asked her worried."I'm not. Can I be? I doubt. I'm not angry, it's nothing," she said, pulling the duvet to cover. I pulled it down."You say it's nothing but you won't say anything and what're the issues.
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
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,"
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
