When I saw Nicholas walking towards me , I became a bit nervous but I covered it up and smiled at him.
I don't know why he sounded rude when he said that he wanted to talk .
I could tell he really was flattered at Char's compliment.
There was some kind of tension between him and Ryan . Sensing it, I excused myself and Nicholas .
He wanted to decide on what we were going to sell people about how we met and all. We eventually came up with one.
Just then I heard Ethan . He seemed happy to see me and said that he missed me. Well no shit , I was happy to see him as well. He was such a cute and happy kid. He looked quite handsome in that small suit. I could totally bet

Nick's POV"Finally my Nicky is getting married. I am so happy." Caleb fake wiped a tear ."How many times did I tell you not to call me that?" He made a thinking expression."Probably a lot of times, but I don't think I care." He ended with a grin.I rolled my eyes at him.Everyone was so happy. Mom and Dad were excited to get a 'daughter', Erica was happy to get a 'sister' . Ethan seemed happy too. And the happiest of them all was me!Note the sarcasm.Since morning I have been in my worst mood.

Nick's POVI walked upstairs and she followed me. Opening the door I went inside my room."Sir , we have got ma'am's luggage." , a maid said standing at the door."Keep it and leave." I instructed.Sophia thanked her . Why was she being this polite when she was nothing but a bloody gold digger? This pretending won't last long.She was taking in the look of the room when I spoke."You won't be sleeping on the bed."I sounded rude and I sure as hell wanted to.She just shrugged and started walking towards the couch."Where do you think you are going?" I asked."To the couch." , She said in an obvious tone."Did I say that you could sleep there, you filthy woman?" She looked too stunned to reply and looked at me with wide eyes."Nick !?'' My name on her tongue sounded so hot- ugh Nick !"You will be taking the floor." I said looking straight into

I couldn't believe she tricked me.The rest of the day , I tried drowning myself in work but the only thing I could think of was Sophia.It was around six when I remembered about the dinner. I didn't want to be late and hear a long lecture from Mom. So I decided on heading home.On reaching, I made my way to my room. Keeping my blazer on the bed , I was loosening the tie around my neck when suddenly Sophia came out of the walk-in closet .She had put on a white one shoulder dress and black heels. With a minimal bit of makeup on her face, her look was pretty simple yet she looked absolutely gorgeous.She cleared her throat and I realized that I had been gawking at her. I looked up to see her smirking at me. Averting my eyes I quickly walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me.Taking a shower, I

Nick's POVJealous? She thought I was jealous?And she was right.No she wasn't. I don't give a shit but that doesn't mean she can bloody flirt with another man in front of my parents. But can't really blame her, a gold digger like her can't be better than this.But what I don't understand is why the hell did I kiss her? I was pouring all my frustrations and anger in that kiss but why? I must admit that her lips tasted sweet, it was like there was a certain sensation in me. I was feeling connected -"Bullshit ! It had been a long time since I had got laid." I shook away these thoughts.Sophia's POVDoing my morning routine I first decided on making breakfast since it was my first day with Ethan.Coming to the kitchen, the maids helped me to find the required ingredients and I made choco chip pancakes and strawberry smoothie.I went to my r

The previous night he stole a kiss from me and now he had brought a woman home!?.Ignoring the bitter pain in my heart, I turned to look at Ethan to not find him there.Just then he was coming out of his room with a duvet in his hand which was covering his view.I went up to him."I brought this. We can cuddle under this while watching the movie." He said with smiling eyes."Ethan, why don't we go out for some ice cream ?" I asked, covering up with a bright smile. He thought for a second and then grinned, nodding.I turned to look at them who were standing and looking at us. Nick was looking away while that

Nick's POV Throughout the day, I didn't see Sophia even once in the office. I was extremely busy with work . At around six, I was done for the day. Leaving the office, I got into my car and went home. I was tired as hell because of a sleepless night and then an extremely busy day at work. Instead of going to my room , I plopped down on the living room sofa . The house seemed too quiet. So, I thought maybe Sophia was out with Ethan. I couldn't trust that lady with my son. I was thinking of calling her when I heard a high pitched voice. Christina came in wearing a dress which gave more than necessary exposure to her assets. Before I could say something, she sat down on my lap straddling me and told me how much she missed me and all. I was least interested in anything serious with her. So I just kept quiet. She urgently placed her lips on mine and hungrily kissed me. Within no time I k

So I carried Ethan to his room while Ryan brought in my shopping bags.He engulfed me in a warm embrace."Soph, remember that whenever you think you can't take anymore or you need anyone, we are always there."

" What happened? Why made both of my girls so upset?" Nick came up and kissed my forehead . " Your son happened. Evie called me saying how he fought with a guy. " I was really exasperated at this. He was seventeen for God's sake and still gets into fights " And what's the reason for the fight?" Nick looked at Ethan for explanation. " I didn't fight , Dad. I just scared him away." He said in an offended voice. I saw Nick checking the smile that was threatening to fall on his face while I wanted nothing more than to beat his ass up. Suddenly Evie decided to speak up. " Dad, do you know what Ethan did? He scared Peter away . He threatened him to stay away from me and now he would never talk to me. " She ended wi

Nick's POV" Only a little left and I will be done." I said the same line for the third time." Nick , you have said the same thing three times in the past few hours." Just what I was waiting for! Sophia crossed her arms against her chest and stood in front of me. I massaged my temple with my hands." I know baby, I know. But the pressure is a lot these days. Just another hour baby." I kept looking at the laptop screen. She was silent for a few seconds." I do not interest you any more , isn't it ?" I nodded absent-mindedly before her words registered in my mind . Furrowing my eyebrows at her absurd question, I looked up at her. She was actually standing there with a hurt expression." Why this sudden irrelevant question Sophia? " I was wondering if she was on her period. She normally doesn't get emotional so easily." Irrelevant!" She muttered under her breath and shook her head.As she turned to leave the room, I
The Arranged Bride 52. Really?
Sophia's POV" Hey baby , did you have fun at Grandma's place?" I picked Ethan up and placed him on my hip. We had sent Ethan to Mama's house for a week because we needed time to prepare the surprise. Everyone knows about it already including Char and Ryan but they were supposed to stay shut. Papa dropped Ethan back ,the evening before his birthday." I did but where is the surprise?" He looked around to trace any clue of what we had prepared. I nervously glanced at Nick who reassuringly blinked at me." It's there. We will take you there." Taking a final glance at Nick , we started walking upstairs. We came in front of another room. Pushing open the door, we entered." This room looks so girly." Ethan scrunched up his nose in disgust to which Nick let out a small chuckle. He was babbling about how bad the room looked until he saw the surprise and went absolutely mute. I gestured the maid to leave the room who closed the door beh

We also need to choose the cake flavor. And the guest list remains to be finalized yet. We got so much to do." I huffed out . Nick put the mug down and moved closer to me. He took the tab away from my hand and kept it aside." Nick-"" Relax, I had already finalized the guest list and as for cake , it has to be chocolate flavoured, Ethan's favorite." I sighed and leaned on his chest only to sit up the next moment." Did you book the venue?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back to relax against him." I did."" And-" Nick cut me off." All settled. Now shut up and kiss me." I nodded in understanding." Okay th-" I cut myself off realising what he had said. I raised a brow at him." What ? I do deserve a

Sophia's POVWhen Nick left the room I couldn't comprehend why. I saw him settling in the car and driving off. I was always scared of having this talk with him, scared of being left alone. When Ethan had brought the topic up in the car, I could feel Nick's stare on me. I knew he had noticed me tense up.When he spoke about the baby , my immediate reaction had given away my uneasiness with the topic. I had to tell him about it . So I took a deep breath and decided to speak.I told him that I couldn't give Ethan what he wanted. There was a brief moment of silence between us before Nick asked if I can conceive or not. His tone seemed so distant and cold but there was a trace of vulnerability in it. I told him that I could but before I could elaborate, he walked away.At that moment I could feel my heart breaking. Did he discard me because I won't be able to carry a child. No , what am I even thinking? I know he would come back once

Nick's POV" How was your school, baby?" Sophia asked after kissing Ethan's forehead who was seated on Sophia's lap in the passenger seat. He cringed at the name "baby" but didn't bother protesting ,knowing that it never took him anywhere. We took an early off to pick Ethan up from his school." Boring ." I chuckled at the face he pulled off." And I hope you didn't fight with anyone?" It came out of Sophia's mouth as a question." Uh huh. " Ethan shook his head looking out of the window. We were having some small talks when all of a sudden, Ethan decided to speak." Can I ask something?" Ethan asked in general. He asks for permission only if he is really serious about something. Else he just puts forward his demand.

It had been three weeks to our honeymoon but regardless of the number of times we have had sex , I haven't recovered from my shyness. On the other hand Nick was becoming more and more blunt with each passing day. No matter what, I could never cope up with his uncensored vocabulary.But honestly, we have become transparent to each other over the past few weeks. It's as if communication is even easier between us now ." Mom , you look so beautiful !" Ethan gushed . Nick had chosen the dress for me to wear to the gala tonight and I must admit that the dress is swoon worthy. It was a champagne gold one shoulder dress with a thigh slit. I paired it up with nude heels and a pair of hoop earrings. Putting my hair up in a messy up do , I completed it with a nude makeup." Thank you baby." Ethan

I would absolutely love to wake up to such a sight every morning throughout my life.Sophia's face looked peaceful and pure without a hint of worry and I wish to keep it that way only. All worries would be reserved for me and she would always be smiling and be at peace. The calmness on her face had a strange soothing effect on me and I couldn't afford to lose it for anything.
