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
SOPHIA CASTILLO I entered our room to see Adrian getting dressed.He had just a sweatpant on and he was about to wear the matching top for it. I felt a little bad for how I had spoken to him today."Are you going out?" I asked because he doesn't wear a shirt inside the room. He is always shirtless.He tilted his head to look at me. "No, remember I told you that some people I knew in the past are coming over? I'm just going to the garden to meet them," he replied before looking away.There was something about his voice that didn't sit well with me. It sounded low and I felt as if he was hurt too."Oh. That's true," I muttered.I expected him to say something but he doesn't say anything. I was angry earlier but now I'm sad and if I don't speak to him knowing that I hurt his feelings earlier, I'd feel bad."Baby," I called, walking closer to him."Huh," he replied, putting on his sweatshirt.I wrapped my arms around him from behind."I'm sorry," I whispered, hugging him tightly with my
SOPHIA CASTILLOMy headache. I could barely open my eyes without feeling pain in the back of my eyes. I felt weak all over my body and beads of sweat formed on my forehead.I've been seeing symptoms of fever for days now and finally, it has shown itself. I couldn't get up from the best and my breath ragged."Are you alright?" Annabella asked."I'm...not," I managed to say. I felt weak in every part of my body and in pain too. "I think we have to go to the hospital," she said with her palm on my forehead, checking for my temperature."Can you... Call my husband?" I insisted."Sure," she replied, walking away to get my phone.She gave it to me so that I could unlock it and she dialed Adrian's number."He is not answering," she said after some seconds.She dialed again. While she dialed his number, I closed my eyes, extremely tired to open them. "He is not answering," she said again. "I will have to get you to the hospital. Once he sees the missed call, I'm sure he'd reply," she said.
ADRIAN CASTILLO I sat beside Sophia on the bed with tears in my eyes. It hurts seeing her this way and I wasn't here for her.The doctor said it was typhoid and thankfully the symptoms were seen in the first week so it would be easier to cure her.He assured me that she would be fine after taking antibiotics. The fact all of this started in the morning and I could only be by her side at night hurt me. Made me feel bad.I still had some investigations to do. I was sure she wouldn't eat contaminated food or bad water intentionally. There are also symptoms but the doctor thinks that's the major cause of her case."I will be going now. I'd come back tomorrow to check on her," Annabella informed me, getting up from where she was seated while looking at Sophia."Thanks so much for the assistance. I cannot imagine what would have happened," I told her, sincerely grateful that she was by Sophia's side."You are welcome," she replied to me."It's an honor to see you in person," she said and I
SARAH COX I have been here for weeks, unable to get out and sad. Mark locks me every time he wants to go out and it would have been better if he doesn't tie me to a chair but he believes I'd come up with a means to escape which was true.I wanted to go home. I was tired. I wanted to kill myself too but each time I think of dying, I remember that I was yet to apologize to my parents so I couldn't die just yet.The door opened and Mark walked in with an ebony-haired lady. She was tall as she stood at the same height as Mark without heels on.Her face was marked win a frantic expression the minute she saw me. Could I blame her? I looked like a rag.I barely took my bath or changed my clothes and anytime I took my bath, Mark took them for me as he feared I'd run away.He was a monster. I never knew and I ran away with him and this is the consequence of my actions."Who is she?" Asked the ebony-haired lady in a deep British accent."Her," Mark pointed at me before he scoffed."She's nothi
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Stop it," I giggled when Adrian grabbed my boobs from behind."You are being naughty," I said in between laughs."I'm naughty for you," he said, still squeezing my boobs.My little laughs turn to little moans. In a swift movement, Adrian spun me around and before I could think about anything or realize it, he claimed my lips.I kissed back, wrapping my arms around his neck and standing on my tippy toes to match his every action."I feel like it's been ages since we made love," he whispered in my ears. Thinking about it, it feels that way because we are always having sex every weekend that I come back home but we didn't have sex last week. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked and I smiled because I was thinking what he was thinking. He carried me in his arms and walked towards the bed. He placed me gently on the bed before claiming my lips again.It was slow, we didn't kiss as if we needed to kiss because it was been ages. It was slow and sensual as if wan
SOPHIA"Dad!" I ran to hug him the minute I saw him.He caught me and wrapped his arms around me. "it's going to be fine," he told me.Adrian already made the phone calls and the police were here already asking questions and doing the needful to get Sarah back."I never expected she'd go that far but officer I want you to do what it takes to bring my daughter back," my father told the officer."We will do so," the officer assured him."Being discreet is what she said. Please her life is at stake so please...""We know our job Mr. Castillo and we will do our possible best to get her back," the man assured Adrian."Now that everything is all said and we have made our next move, we will keep in touch with you guys as we make our way there," the officer informed us."Thanks so much," Adrian shook hands with him. The same officer and the other two that followed him shook my dad's hands before leaving.I sighed, sitting down on the couch with so many thoughts in my mind.Adrian came and sa
