SOPHIA CASTILLO

I watched as Adrian and Jessica conversed with one another and she'd giggle unnecessarily when he said something I didn't find funny at all.

I was trying hard to ignore her and just eat but I couldn't because of her and I disliked it.

"Will you go shopping with me, Adrian?" She asked all of a sudden and I almost choked on my food as I stared at her as if she was stupid.

Does she realize he is someone's husband? I get that it might not mean anything bad but I just don't feel comfortable with her at all and I get some kind of vibes from her that don't seem comfortable with me.

I mean if she wanted to go shopping, she could ask me, after all, I am free and I am a female. She isn't even trying to interact with me and I felt like she was looking down on me.

"Shopping? I'm sorry I can't do that. My wife can go with you," Adrian said before glancing at me as if asking me if I'd go with her.

"Sophia? Oh come on Adrian," she said as if I wasn't worthy of going shopping with her

    SOPHIA CASTILLOI heard a knock on my door. "Who's that?" I asked, getting up from the bed so that I could sit on it."It's me." I heard Jessica say and I wonder what could have brought her here after all she has said to me today.I have been inside the room all day because I do not want to see her or talk to her after Adrian went to work.I was contemplating if I should tell her to come in or not and the truth is I do not want her to come in because I do not want to speak to her."Come in," I heard myself saying the opposite of what I have planned and I scolded myself mentally.The deed has already been done as she let herself in. "Can I talk to you?" She asked and I stared at her with a very frantic facial expression.Talk to me about what? I just know there is something about her that doesn't sit well with me and for some obvious reason, I get the same vibes from her too about me.I feel she doesn't like me or rather I can see that. From the way she cuts me off and how she always

    SOPHIA CASTILLO"Are you for real?" Annabella gasped, holding onto the dress she had just removed from the rack.We are currently at a shopping mall with Annabella, shopping for our trip and I was telling her about Jessica."Yes, I am. That's not even all, she dared to come into my room to tell me I was just being insecure and jealous of her, I mean can you believe that?" I scoffed."She is a crazy one. I haven't seen her face yet but I can tell she is a narcissist," Annabella said."I don't even get it. I mean I wasn't okay at first but it wasn't as if I was jealous of her. Adrian doesn't have many friends and I'm the only woman in his life but then I was not just happy seeing him talking and smiling with her and it is not because I am scared I'm going to lose him to her, I just didn't like it," I clarified."I mean the fact remains, she was his friend when they were teenagers but that's then and she doesn't know what happened in his life after so many years and she can't just come i

    NOTE: This chapter is about Sarah Cox, Sophia's older sister.SARAH COXI panicked when someone grabbed me by my wrist. I tilted my head to see who it was and my heart and stomach sank immediately."Where do you think you are going to and by this time of the day?" Mark asked, and I struggled to get my wrist from his hold."Let go of me Mark," I cried and he tightened his grip around my wrist."You bitch!" He spat out while glaring at me."After ruining my life, you think you can escape me to go and see your parents and they will welcome you as the good and forgiving parents that they are?" He scoffed."What are you? The prodigal daughter?" He snarked."Let go of me, you are hurting me," I cried, and. he scoffed."I am hurting you? Just how? You hurt and ruined me and here you are acting like the victim. You can't just leave me, Sarah. After all, we've been through? You are such a bitch!" He spat out and I slapped him right across his face.My heart skipped the moment I realized what I

Every time, he pulls me closer and squeezes the life out of me."I'm running out of time," I reminded."I know," he replied almost in a whisper."You know but you still won't let me go," I sighed."Yes. If I have my way, I'd lock you in here but I do not have my way. What do you have to do?" He asked."Don't start with me, Adrian. I have to go and you know that. It's just three days and not three months. Before you know the three days are over and we are back in each other's arms again," I told him, hoping that was enough to encourage him."Lies. After three days and you return, you go back to college and we have no time for one another," he said and I chuckled."We do have time for one another. I

    ADRIAN CASTILLOI was barely listening to what Jessica was saying to me as I kept admiring the pictures Sophia has sent two minutes ago.She hasn't failed to keep me updated since she left and it made me feel at ease."Adrian," I heard Jessica call my name and I lifted my face to look at her."What were you saying?" I asked putting my phone aside as I stopped listening to her some minutes ago."Wow. So you weren't listening? What were you looking at on your phone?" She asked me."Sophia sent some pictures so I stopped listening. What were you saying again?" I asked."You make me envious of you sometimes. I mean you and your wife can make someone depressed from the way you show your love to one another," she said and I smiled."I mean that's the beauty of love," I replied, feeling a great sense of warmth talking about love as the image of Sophia popped into my head."That's great. So I was asking when you will take me on a tour to see around. I can go alone and you know I don't like to

    SOPHIA CASTILLOI put my hand under my pillow to get my phone which has beeped more than five times now. I guessed it was Adrian that had sent a message to me because he doesn't give me a break. I receive messages from him after every hour.It's morning here and my second day yet Adrian makes it feel like it's been two weeks that I've been here.I blinked my eye when I saw that it wasn't a text from Adrian but some images sent from an unknown number.Who could it be? I thought to myself. The unknown numbers had sent messages of Adrian and Jessica together I quickly sat on my bed, thinking that it could be my sister Sarah who had sent an image to me.I clicked on the images and my mood immediately went sour. Why would they send an image of Adrian and Jessica together and it seem like he was enjoying himself? Where was he and when was this taken?I tried to track the number but I got nothing. It made me worried too because it meant Adrian was being followed by someone but the questio

    A WEEK LATERSOPHIA CASTILLOEver since I came back from Greece, I barely spend enough time with Adrian. The day I returned, he traveled the next day to Spain for a business trip.We could barely talk on the phone because of the time difference. I have classes and so I can't speak to him because he is either busy and when I am free, he is sleeping. It doesn't seem right to me and worse Jessica went with him.I get she is a shareholder in the company but why does she have to go with him. In her defense, she was touring around and to my knowledge, she is supposed to be looking for an apartment so she can move out."I am not insecure. I am not insecure and I am not insecure," I muttered to myself as Jessica's words resurfaced in my head.The day she was traveling with Adrian, those were the words she told me in his absence. She told me I was just too insecure and I talk so confidently.I wasn't and I know that. I just don't like the aura that oozed around her and I am not comfortable wit

    SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian opened his arms wide for me and I embraced him. I missed him so much and his addictive smell.He wrapped his arms around me, almost squeezing the life out of me.It felt good to be this close to him after a long time. Being away from him makes my heart grow fonder all of the time."I've missed you, my love," he pulled back from the hug and kisses me on my lips.A kiss I was expecting to short almost become a male-out session. I heard his groan from the back of his throat and I didn't need anyone telling me that he was horny.We pulled apart from one another when one particular human cleared her throat. That human is none other than Jessica.She has a smile plastered on her face, more like she was forcing it. "You guys might wanna take it easy as there are a lot of single souls here," she said and I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her statement."Come let's go in," Adrian said to me, placing his arms around my waist with Jessica following behind us.I didn't w

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.

    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?"

    "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
