Sonia's eyes started to become misty as she turned away, shaking away her thoughts.
Daniel slid his thumb down her chin. "Look at me," he said softly. He didn't want her to feel wronged. In fact, that's the last thing he wanted her to feel. He wanted her to feel as if she was the only one in the world for him.
Hearing that, Sonia sniffled and gazed up at him innocently. "What's so attractive about you?" she murmured.
"I'm better looking than him," he snorted. His dark eyes glinted under the dim light.
"You wish." She barked out a laugh, but before she could say anything else, he leaned over and kissed her. His kiss was like a shock of electricity. She trembled against his touch as she leaned closer into his arms.
Her face reddened. She didn't expect that the cold man would have such an arrogant side. He even dared to kiss her in public!
Since Daniel was now her boyfriend, she couldn't reject his hold, but she definitely wasn't going to let go of him that easily.
Sonia lifted her foot under the tablecloth and secretly kicked him hard on the shins.
He pulled away as he leaned against her ear. "I have the right to do that," he whispered. His breath fanned against the side of her neck, and she stiffened.
"Your right lasts till the afternoon," she snapped softly. She continued to kick him, but every kick was lighter. For outsiders, it looked like they were flirting with each other.
"I can always keep that right," he said casually.
While James was walking up the crimson steps, his gaze steadied on Sonia. At the sight of her with another man, his heart crippled in jealousy. It was as if the world had decided to douse him with bitterness and sourness to last him a day.
Fabian gritted her teeth beside him. "Shameless bitch!" she spat. "She confessed her love for you the day before yesterday and now she's making out with some other man." James clenched his fists. Suddenly he stood up from his chair and stomped out of the room without saying a word.
"Where are you going? The ceremony is about to begin," she shouted, but he completely ignored her words.
Her nails dug into her palms as she thought of ways to hold him back. She would not let that bitch ruin this moment for the both of them!
Seeing that Sonia was heading to the toilet, she followed as a malicious smile threaded across her lips.
"And here I thought you were innocent. I never knew you have such an obscene side," Fabian said with a smirk.
Taking a deep breath, Sonia decided to ignore her.
Noticing this, Fabian decided to take a different approach. "Actually, I'm kind of worried for you. There must be loads of beautiful women hounding around your boyfriend. With you being so boring, I bet that he'll grow tired of you in less than two months."
Sonia scoffed, "Even if you break up with James, we won't."
"Humph! Bitch!
You want to bet?" she taunted.
"What's the bet?" Sonia crossed her arms over her chest and turned around, wanting to see what other tricks the woman had hidden under her sleeves.
"I bet that your relationship can't last for two months. If you break up, then you lose," she said slowly.
That was the bet? It was as if she was betting with a five-year-old!
Sonia sneered and was about to leave, but Fabian's sarcastic laughter stopped her in her tracks. "What a coward! I know you wouldn't dare. You know what? I bet you can't even last a month in his arms. You probably got two weeks, and it's over before you even know it."
Taking a deep breath, Sonia turned around slowly and said, "If you're so sure of yourself, let's take a bet!""Okay!" Fabian smiled complacently. She had been competing with Sonia for such a long time. She knew her so well that she could easily predict her moves. Sonia was obviously inferior to her. She was like a stupid bug whom she could bait and trap easily at will. Right now, she swallowed her trick hook, line and sinker. "Today is April 3. If you don't break up with that man on June 3, you win the game. But you would lose the game if you two break up before the agreed date. As punishment, the loser would have to wear a bikini and dance in the Century Square!""Okay!" Sonia agreed without hesitation. She then took her cellphone out of her pocket and asked Fabian to repeat the conditions of the bet. The recording would serve as the proof of their bet, in case she planned to back out when she lost. "You just wait and see how I will punish you!" She sneered as she walked away.Lookin
"Go ahead." Thinking of this, Sonia sighed in relief. She would do anything as long as his list of requests weren't asking too much of her."First, no affairs. You don't cheat on me. Second, you'll have to take care of me," he said seriously as his lips straightened into a thin line.How dare he? The first condition didn't even make any sense! The second one was that he obviously intended to treat her like a slave. As they say, if one handed you lemons, you can just go and make lemonade. She shook her head at the thought.But as long as she could win the bet against Fabian, then she could bear all of it. After all, it was only for two months. "Fine, but you should also behave yourself. Don't take advantage of me," she warned him. "I've seen every part of your body, and there is absolutely no part that I haven't touched. What else can I take advantage of?" he teased.Sonia flushed, wishing that the ground beneath her could swallow her right up. She wanted to curse him into the oblivi
She quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around herself. Her face was tomato red. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His eyes lit up almost immediately, looking like a kid whose Christmas present got in early. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of her. She was so scared that she completely forgot to run away. She bowed her head and stepped back, wanting nothing more than to keep a safe distance from him.However, every time she stepped back, he took another step forward. They continued doing this till he had her backed up in a corner."What– what are you doing?" she stuttered out, clutching her bath towel.Daniel's strong arms blocked her from going left and right, locking her beneath him. He leaned in so close that she could almost hear his heart beating in his chest. "Did you do that on purpose?" he whispered, his breath fanning across her nose. His voice was hoarse and raspy as if he had just gone days without a cup of water. She inhaled sharply."No
It was late at night, and the weather shifted around them. Dark clouds were gathering in the skies, and soon enough, thunder blasted across the city.In her room, small night lights emitted a dim light. However, Sonia couldn't help but shift and turn under the covers of her bed.Ever since she was a kid, she had suffered from claustrophobia. She made sure to have night lights plugged around her room to help ease her anxiety.Even then, she still couldn't fall asleep as her mind drifted towards James.Although he was going to get married, she still liked him. This love had lasted for more than five years, and she still couldn't find it in herself to get over him.If the girl he intended to marry wasn't the one she hated, then maybe she would have already moved on and have given all her heartfelt wishes. Seeing as he had chosen Fabian, it pissed her off to no end.She groaned, wanting nothing more but to claw her face.A fierce wind came, rustling the leaves in the backyard. Lightning f
Thunder crackled in a distance, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to save her. The thought of the thunder bolts and lightening sparks making contact with the iron made frame of her window sent shivers down his spine. He could die by electric shock if he isn't extremely careful!Once he arrived, he kicked the glass window and swung himself into the room. Under the light of his cellphone, he could see her lying on the ground. Her whole body was convulsing and her lips were colorless. She looked as if she had just joined the cast of zombies.He lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He began to perform artificial respiration.Sonia was finally conscious. Seeing the dim light across the room, her fear had been relieved. As he continued to blow air into her system, the muscle in her throat slowly unwound, allowing her to breathe more easily."Did you have a heart attack? Where's your medicine?" Daniel asked anxiously, glancing around."No. I suffered from claustrophobia, that's all,"
"You can sleep on my bed," Sonia stated.His lips twitched. "Okay." Daniel walked towards the bed and proceeded to lie down. When he reached out his arms to hold her slim waist, she tried her best to shrug him off."Let me go. I'll sleep on the sofa," she snapped. 'There's no way in hell that we'll be sleeping on the same bed!' she thought.She struggled under his arms, but it only encouraged him to pin her down even more. "I'm cold. Isn't it your duty to warm me up?""You can tuck yourself in if you feel cold!" She kicked the quilt towards him angrily. If she didn't ask him for help in the first place, then she would've taken the opportunity to kick him where the sun doesn't shine!"Well, you're warmer than the quilt." He placed his chin on her shoulder wantonly, breathing in her heavenly fragrance. There was something about her that made him addicted to her scent.Of course, this didn't mean that he cared for her. He had always been indifferent to these types of feelings. He wouldn'
However, Sonia didn't take further action. Instead, she slipped out of his arms, jumped off the bed, grabbed her sketchbook, and sat cross-legged on the bed.Daniel squinted his eyes just a bit to see what was happening.The girl was sketching him without his permission!How dare she!He clenched his jaw and turned to the other side of the bed.She went to the other side and continued.Seeing that she wasn't going to stop that easily, he turned back and she followed."Are you fucking dreaming?" Sonia grumbled, finally having enough.Sensing her frustration, he decided to cooperate with her. If the painting wasn't good enough, then he would just tear it to pieces and throw it into the nearest trash can.Seeing that he didn't move, she shook her head and sighed. "It seems that you also dream so fast," she teased quietly.Daniel felt embarrassed yet again.It was a humiliating experience for a man to be questioned of his ability to do something!'If a tiger didn't come out from its slumb
At that moment, Sonia took it upon herself to bargain with the venders by the roadside."Sir, it's already noon and look at your vegetables. The leaves are turning yellow and the stems are withering. If you don't sell it at 1.5 per kilogram, no one would buy it. Besides, the governor has already sent his men to patrol around the streets," she urged with her arms crossed. Back then, Sonia was used to bargaining for her ingredients in the wet market, so this came naturally for her. Hearing her latter words, the street vendor sighed. "Fine. Deal."She grinned, displaying two dimples on the sides of her cheeks. Daniel resisted the urge to snort. He didn't expect her to be so stingy that she actually put some effort in convincing the man to cut the price in half, but he liked a woman who valued her money. As long as she was willing to cooperate with him, he would definitely give her a considerable compensation for her time with him.Sonia picked up three kilograms and gave the seller twent
He thought she was stupid and pudding-headed, yet he forced her to stay with him and kept feeding her bullet coating with sweet.He felt her a headache at sight of her, yet he wanted to put her photo in front of him and see it all day long.'Is this the combination of contradictions?'While she was racking her brains to figure out the whole thing, a blast of discussions broke out on the Emperor Group employees' Forum.The CEO was married!His wife came to his office today!The lucky girl was actually the champion designer Sonia in 'Beauty on Overpass'!What an explosive news.The young female employees burst into tears. Their admirable, adorable and respectable CEO already had a wife. And they would never have a chance even to dream about him again.After the meeting, William walked to Daniel's side and said, "It is a sensational news in the company today. I heard that your wife has come." His tone was ambiguous.*********Sonia was swinging her club and ready to serve. Out of the cor
"I will do what I should do. Don't push me to do anything else," She said coldly and looked out of the window.*********Sonia was in a daze for a second. "She is a member of Leila's Family?""Yes," Daisy said slowly, "The senior schoolmate of Ivy is named Christina. She is the sister of Leila.""No wonder." Sonia raised her eyebrows and her eyes glimmered with a hint of indescribable deep color. It seemed that Fabian had a strong opponent, either Ivy or Christina, both in terms of wealth and family background, they were far better than Fabian. And they were not nobody like Sonia who could be casually framed and bullied by Fabian. The three women were just like a drama. If they really fought with each other overtly and covertly, it was unsure whether James could deal with it.Ivy was a good girl. Although sometimes she would be a little capricious, her essence was simple, innocent and kind, and she was totally different from Fabian. It would be a pleasant thing if James could be with
"Sonia loves you very much. She just puts all her heart on you. As her good friend, I won't see her sad. You can rest assured that I will find a way to help you. " Valery said to James."Thank you, Miss Valery." Said James in a low voice."Let's leave our contact information to each other so that we can contact each other conveniently." Then she took out her phone.James nodded and exchanged his phone number with her.A sinister smile appeared on Valery's face. When she saw Ivy coming, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll help you arrange a meeting for you and her." After saying that, she walked to the direction of Ivy. Now that she had achieved her goal, she would "help" them to make a good match in the future, so that they would get married."I'm a little tired, Ivy. I'd better go back first. Happy birthday to you.""Okay. Be careful on the way." Ivy nodded her head and showed the grilled steak to James."James, let's have it. It's specially roasted for you.""Thank you." H
Sonia was shocked. In her imagination, he should be pissed off and cursed her. 'Why is the picture so gentle and weird? Is icy guy mad to say something ironic?' she thought."Okay. How about I spend five million dollar for you tomorrow?" She tried to sound him out to see if he would change his face at once. However, he still smiled at her with connivance and love in his eyes. "The card belongs to you and you can spend as you like. You don't need to report to me.""If I spend five million dollars a day, will you go bankrupt?" She pouted."You silly girl. I will always make far more money than you spend. How can I go bankrupt?" He shook his head with a smile, feeling her words were childish.And she began to feel that what she did today was very childish. Her fighting spirit had already disappeared without a trace. She had spent a whole day trying to piss him off. Unexpectedly, he didn't even frown. She wanted to hide in the corner to draw circles to curse him.It was one point eight mi
With a faint smile on her lips, Sonia said, "Do you really think you can fight against the Emperor by marring the daughter of Jack's Family? As far as I know, Mr. Jack is very crafty and cunning. If his Group's stock suddenly plummeted, and he has done those shady business in private and was caught on the hand of others. Do you think he's still willing to get in this to help you? I'm afraid that he would even go against you in his favor."Jobson twisted his lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. You're a female. What do you know about business?"Again, Sonia shrugged. She was really talking nonsense here. However, in a business world, everyone had his / her own calculation and no one could be innocent. Last year, there was something wrong with the buildings developed by the Jack's Group. The news had just been disclosed, but it was quickly suppressed. After that, there was no follow-up report. It was obvious that the group was behind the closed door.From Jobson's expression, she k
"Do you mean the Emperor group of the Dragon City?" Sonia asked Fabian as she found it hard to process what she has just heard."Yes. You bumpkin have made a trip to the Dragon City. You have seen something, haven't you?" Fabian laughed scornfully.With her fingers clenched, Sonia was so furious that a fire was burning in her chest.It was Daniel who did it!He must be avenging on James, on her!The devil was born with a bloodthirsty nature of plundering!After getting out of the TV station, James drove his car and she quickly got on it. She didn't notice that there was a pair of deep and gloomy eyes not far away, which had been staring at her through sunglasses.When James's Maserati disappeared from his sight, a bloodthirsty ferocious look flashed across Daniel's perfect thin lips.Sitting in the car, Sonia was upset.James touched her head and asked, "Where do you want to go to celebrate?" He raised the corners of his mouth, using an attractive smile to cover the tiredness on his f
Leila felt a wave of disappointment in her heart but she didn't show it. She still wore a beautiful smile and asked, "Can I ask you something?""What is it?" Daniel said, raising his eyebrows."You are not serious about your relationship with Sonia, are you?" She asked in a low voice carefully.Taking a sip of the champagne, Daniel fell silent for a while and said coldly, "She is nothing more than a woman." It sounded like he was talking about someone unimportant.Leila smiled and felt relieved.She knew it. He couldn't fall in love with Sonia. Even if he had sex with her, it was just a physiological need."Come on, Dan. Let's dance. I haven't danced with you for a long time." She lightly turned, like a butterfly flying.Daniel nodded slightly, took her hand and walked into the dance floor.A piece of wonderful music rang. It was a waltz.He gently embraced her. Leila felt so satisfied. She enjoyed his company. Her beautiful dress spread like rose blossom petals.However Daniel was th
Yes? Isn't it a great honor for her?"What's wrong with Mandy? She's so beautiful, and she's the anchorwoman of the TV. Many rich men are chasing her." She pouted.Daniel flicked her forehead and said, "a woman is cuter when she is silly and confused."She glanced at him.Was he talking about her? Although she was a little brainless, she often fell over when she was walking, peeled fruit, made coffee and scalded her legs, and often forgot her wallet when she went out... However, she had many advantages, especially that she could eat, sleep and feed well.When she was thinking, a pair of big hands came in from her nightgown.Upon feeling this, she took out the wolf proof weapon she had prepared in advance from the drawer of the bedside table."Ice house! You can only warm up the bed when you win."The man's eyes swept across the cold light, and this was the permanent scar in his heart!With a wave of his hand, he snatched the cup, tossed it, and the ugly thing flew out of the window. "
Valery was discussing a plot with Leila..."Are you coming to see me because you want me to help you deal with Sonia?" Leila pretended to be calm and asked casually."It's also for you to help me." "I don't care about the title. Anyway, I have a child to protect. I will let you be the lady of the house and keep me in the house." Her eyes twinkled as she spoke. She was trying to play a trick on her by working with her. She doesn't care about her fighting for the position with her at all. She can't marry Daniel just because of their families' issue.Leila replied with a slight smile.She had been against her for more than ten years. How could she not see through her little tricks?She wouldn't be that stupid to get her hands dirty. Her victory wouldn't do her any good. The best result was to get both of them in the fight."Sorry to disappoint you. I won't do anything that makes him unhappy.""It doesn't matter. By then, Daniel and his heart would be occupied by Sonia. Just wait and see.
