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

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

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?"

    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

"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.

    SARAH COXI sat down on my usual wooden chair staring at Mark as he ate. He didn't bother to call me and he made it known to me that unless he gives me food, I cannot have food. "Are you hungry?" He asked me and I shook my head.Lies.Lies.I was hungry. My stomach was grumbling yet I had nothing to feed it. "You know I got a new job today. I am so happy about it. Finally, I get little money and I can send money to my mom and my sister. I also got a job for you," he said, smirking at me and I knew the job he has in mind isn't a good one."Do you want to know what the job is?" He asked, curling his lips to the side."I will be doing you a huge favor and you will be doing me good back. I mean, after all, you ruined me and this is the least you can do for me," he let out sarcastic laughter that made the knots in my stomach tighten."You are such an ingrate. A very useless person and instead of you smiling, you are saying nothing!" He spat out, glaring at me and I forced a smile on my f

Did he turn my sister into a prostitute? I cannot wait to see who that man is and hit him in the face."Did he perhaps show a picture so that you are sure she is the one you are going to see?" I asked, leaning into Adrian. I just pray she is there so that we can save her and that bastard who had done so much harm to her will pay with his life."No but he assured her that she is a pretty woman and we won't regret paying to

I had just helped her take her bath and applied some ointment on her before giving her clean clothes to wear.She cried for over an hour while apologizing to us. I wanted to ask a lot. I have a lot to ask but now wasn't the right time to apologize to her."I'm feeling fine," she replied.My mother was yet to come.

I asked her.I didn't know what exactly to say to do right now. I want her to be fine and happy. I do not want her to think."Thanks so much for coming," she said for the umpteenth time."You have to stop saying that already. You are here and that's all that matters," I told her."Sarah!" It was

"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.

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.

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.

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?

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?
