Chapter 6
With a smirks plaster on his face, he got up and took a step closer to her with his long legs.
And she moves backward, and they continue until her back hits the wall.
He cages her with both his hands on the sides of the wall,
"It's you, I found you"
His cold voice reached her ears, and it made Sophia stared at him confusingly . Immediately, she stared straight into her eyes, her knees weakened.
His gaze rested on her face. She kept trying to mutter a few words, but none came out of her mouth.
Realizing what he was doing, he quickly let her go and take a few steps back but again he stared at her
She bends her head, breathing out in relief with her head bow.
"Miss Sophia," Marco called, and she shivered; the way she called her name, always sent some unknown signs to her body; it made her wet unconsciously.
"Sir... Sir" she stammered
"Do you have anything to tell me?" he asked, and she raised her head, staring at him in panic; for the last ten years she had been working under Marco, today was the first time he had questioned her without work related, and she was surprised.
She knew Marco had a cold personality, he shout unnecessarily at all staff's and fired anyone who dared to stare into his eyes.
She bent her head quickly when she saw that she had been staring for a very long time.
"I asked you a question!" His impatient tone came again remembering Sofia from the pool of thoughts.
"There is nothing, sir," answered Sophia quickly, and this seemed to had offended Marco more; his expression could tell.
"I saw you on the roof yesterday." Immediately, these words came out of his mouth, her eyes snapped opened in shock.
" Am sorry sir"
"Apologize? Why ?"
She was apologizing because he had caught her ; she had just lied straight to his face.
Something did happen yesterday in the rooftop, that means, Marco had heard everything.
"Sir, I am sorry for lying, but sir, this is my case; you do not have to worry".
Hearing these words from her, he closed his eyes and opened them.
"You are getting married, not only marriage but an arranged marriage? How dare you! But you read the contract before you start working for me or do you want me to fire you instead? "
Her head fell down, she closed her eyes trying to catch the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Get out!" He ordered coldly and hurriedly, Sophia took to her heels twisting the door knob, she ran out of his office, with a hurried move, she left his building.
But as she left his building, she slowed down, the paper on her hand wrinkled because of the force she was putting on it.
Taking a few more steps, she stopped and put her back against the hallway wall.
She breathes several times, but she still can't stop tears from dropping from her eyes and just when she was about to break down, she heard footsteps on the hall and in a hurry she stood straight and wiped her eyes.
"Miss Sophia" she heard her name, she raised her head and the person who called her name turned out to be Mrs Erica, one of the company janitor, Mrs Erica was like a mother to her.
Sofia quickly sparked a smile and Erica gently took her hand with a concern look
"Are you okay?" She asked and Sofia nodded..
"Mom and fine, just tired"
"Did the CEO scold you again?"
"No... Okay, I'm leaving now"
Sofia used the opportunity to walk away quickly knowing that if she remains there, Mrs. Erica could find out the truth that she was being forced to marry into a rich family.
She hasn't meant him before, but she knows that they are one of the top billionaire in the city, it wasn't her dream, but she had to do it in another to save her family.
All this happened when her father's company was about to go bankrupt, her father borrowed money from his business partner and promised to pay back when everything had settled unknown to them that the company that they were working hard to save was still going to be bankrupt.
Life is a game, she was like an object that was being gonna being bought with money, she lay her head on the table in her office, tears were streaming out of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Marco was working on his system in his office and also going through some files, he pursed suddenly and rested his back on the chair, his cold eyes staring at the space when the thought of Sophia's came to his mind.
Later, he took out his phone contacting an unknown number.
"Check everything about Sophia Baldwin, tell me why she is forced to get married and who she is marrying!"
Chapter 1I have warned you a lot of times to add more sugar to my coffee!" Aurora roared immediately as the coffee touched her lips.The thunderous voice of her mother-in-law almost gave Sofia who stood with utmost innocence a heart attack.With a realization of the scenario, she muttered an apology immediately and offered to make the lady another cup of coffee.This time, following her instructions to avoid being shouted at even though she bet that wasn't guaranteed. Her mother-in-law gave mocking approval as Sofia went out to make another cup of coffee.Praying that she won't find another fault to reject it once again."Here's your coffee, mom. I'm sorry for…" "Shut up! I don't even know the reason why my son got married to you, even if it's a god-damned contract marriage, I still don't see the reason why my son would choose you!" "Mom… I’m sorry" "Shut it, you gold digger!" Her mother-in-law rendered another insult while Sofia hung her head in shame, trying her best t
Chapter 2Sophia's heart beat wildly upon hearing her husband's voice.It's crazy that they had been married for one year already, yet this was the third time she saw him face to face again.It's not that Marco doesn't go home, he does.However, he only returns home when she's sleeping and goes out while she's still asleep."Marco!" Ava ran to Marco quickly and pretended to be like a wounded puppet."Marco, your wife is so mean, she suddenly pushed me for no reason. I didn't do anything at all," She lied with a fake tear already forming in her eyes.Sophia felt the blood draining out of her body seeing Marco's expression darkened."No... No.... I didn't do anything... I was ...... That's not true, I was just going to help..." "Help? You are so angry and want me to leave the kitchen, that's why you pushed me. Marco my knee is bleeding," Sophia shook her head in disagreement, trying to make Marco believe her."Marco please believe me," she pleaded, her eyes behol
Chapter 3Frowning, Sophia's eyes returned to the documents and she read the words written boldly on the top.'DIVORCE AGREEMENT'She shook her head and chuckled, trying to convince herself that it was just a silly dream.Marco would never divorce her.Sophia flipped through them. Then she pinched herself, the reality hitting hard, she wasn't dreaming."No, no. You must be joking. This is a joke, right?"Sophia shook her head in disbelief."Do you think that I would never discover your real intentions someday? You purposely framed me that day right? If you want money, I will give it all to you. All you just need to do is to get out of my life," Marco thundered in his cold voice. "What are you talking about?" Fear gripped her heart as she perceived the fury in his voice. "You seem not to understand something woman, this marriage was just a contract marriage! And you were the cause of it.If I didn’t save... No, if I hadn't fallen into your schemes that day, all this
Chapter 4A week later after Sophia’s discharge, Marco sat down in his office busy typing on the computer in front of him when the door of his office opened revealing his secretary.Marco continued what he was doing without glancing at him."Sir, news about you and Mrs. Sofia’s contract marriage is all over the internet. Most of our investors are threatening to withdraw from the company if nothing is done quickly to avoid the bad rumors.Marco's face lit in grief at the news."Fuck!" He angrily hit his first on the table. “Take down the news!""I’m afraid that we can't do that because it's all over the internet, taking it down would seem like you are agreeing with what they are saying.We need proof sir, we need to show them that your marriage is not a contract marriage," Marco clenched his fist in anger and just when he was about to speak, his phone rang.He ignores the call after seeing the caller, Sofia. The phone rings for the second time before he accepts th
Chapter 5"What do you mean?"Sophia questioned, confused and devastated.She didn't want to believe any word from the old woman.Aurora burst into laughter."Do you think I am lying? You don't want to believe it?" "Old woman, get out!"Sophia said in anger and Aurora's eyes popped out of their socket in awe.."What did you say?" Sophia scoffs, enjoying the outburst of her mother-in-law.."This is my house, I have the right to do whatever I want to. I regret to say this but I forbid you from entering my house from now on,"Sophia was about to walk away from the drama when her mother-in-law grabbed her by the arm, with Aurora’s right hand raised.She is about to land them on Sofia’s cheeks but she; 's quick enough to see what’s coming. She held her handmaid-air and warned,"Aurora, don't dare me." With that, she pushed her on the couch and beckoned on the guards."Guards!""Take this old woman away from here and don't ever let her in my house without my permissi
