Chapter 10: Talk

Sofia's POV

A few weeks had passed, and I rarely saw him inside the office because he's always outside attending different meetings. I thought I would join him in those meetings, but Marcus said he'd only need me when it is necessary.

As a result, I often found myself alone in his office. It wasn't a problem for me; in fact, it was a favor since, despite being loud, I value my privacy.

At home, he seldom comes back. Sometimes, I don't even wait for him because it gets too late.

But a few days ago, I saw him with a blonde. I was slightly confused, but then I remembered my role. Oh, right, I'm just his wife on paper. We made an agreement about having an affair secretly. But I never thought he'd take it seriously.

It's Monday today, which means I have work again. I walked slowly towards Rita. Marcus is not around again today; he's been gone for two days due to an out-of-town business meeting.

"Good morning, Rita!" I greeted her. She looked up and paused what she was doin

I nodded as I approached him.“Sure, but talk about what?” I asked. He let out a sigh like he’s calming himself. Why is he calming himself?“You broke the deal,” I immediately looked at him. What? I did not break anything. What is he talking about?“I don’t understand.” He’s playing ‘guess what I’m referring’ to again. “You went out,” So? Of course, I need to go out. What does he want? I will stay here or on the mansion all day and night?“What if the media saw you and your man?” My brow furrowed. Media? Me and my man? Oh, he’s talking about Jasper. So, he saw us. No one saw us. And besides, I doubt if someone can remember me being his wife.I shook my head, “There’s no media around. And there’s no big deal about it. You’re the one who always leaves with different woman. So, don’t ask me about this matter.” He glared at me.What? I glared bac

They did not even bother to tone down their moans, groans, whatsoever. That’s absolutely and terribly gross.I walked downstairs while frowning. Good thing I don’t have work today. When I reached the dining room, I saw him having his breakfast already. I was wondering if he or they eat the food I made last night. I sighed and rolled my eyes.I did not greet him and sat down immediately. I know he noticed the sudden change of my behavior. And I’m also aware the he knew the reason. How bold they are last night. Just thinking of it making me want to throw up.It’s not like that I expect something from him. I know his not a saint to not do something like that. He can do whatever he wants, whatever he pleased.“I’m leaving today,” I told him and started digging on my food. He looked up, seems unbot

Aside from Marcus and I. You're the only one who will know about this. And if others find out, you'll be in trouble," I warned.Se nodded and curiously approached me. "Yes, no one else will know. Just tell me!" She said."Aunt Matilda owed him money. I was used as payment." Her eyes widened slightly."That's a crazy old woman. But why did you agree with what she wanted?""Because of two things. First, I didn't want to stay in their house. And second--" Maria cut me off."Because Marcus is handsome, right?" She said with a smirk. I slapped her arms lightly, "Fool. I didn't know him back then. And how would I know he's handsome? Marrying him is not bad after all."This time, she's the one who slapped me on the shoulder. "Are you a dumb? Who wouldn't want to marry him? He has all the qualities that women des

He stood up from the couch and walked toward my direction.He's looking at me coldly. I feel like I want to hide in fear. He's usually cold and serious, but there's something different now. I just don't know what exactly it is."You came home late. I thought you would be here at six? You didn't even tell me when you'd be home," he said seriously. I swallowed nervously. What if he asks me to leave now? Where would I go? I don't want to end up on the streets again. "I was planning to come home early, but Maria and I got caught up in conversation." I explained. ' And besides, I thought you'd be home late,' I thought to myself."I won't. I came home earlier today. You should have informed me where and what time you'd be coming home," he furrowed his brow. Wait, do I need to tell him where I go and when I come back?Why is he so demanding about this? I raised an eyebrow, "Doe

He set down his cup on the table and opened his laptop.My brow furrowed at what he said. I've been working as his assistant for days, and now he's taking me to a meeting outside the company. That's weird, what's about the sudden change? Even though Rita had informed me about it, it still surprised me. I'm used to being in the office, and he's often out of town, and I'm used to it. I just nodded. "Okay, boss. I'll remind you of the meeting time later," I said and bowed. I was about to leave, but he stopped me."Hold on. I have something to tell you." I raised an eyebrow out of curiosity."What is it?" I asked. He looked at me again."We'll leave tomorrow's morning," he answered. Why? Why couldn't he just say it directly? "Why?" He sighed and leaned back on his chair. He looked serious as he gazed at me. "One of my friends wants to meet you.""Oh. What about work?"

I'm starting to think again that he's a robot.I smiled a bit. Why is he acting like that? Cold and intimidating."Is there something funny?" I heard him ask. I looked up. "Huh?" He stared at me seriously."You're smiling while eating," he said. Oh, he's looking at me. I quickly smiled and shook my head."I just thought of something. It's not important, so don't ask," I said while shaking my head.He stared at me, "Really? But I want to know." I pouted. Why is he curious about what I'm thinking now?"It's not important," he raised an eyebrow. "Okay fine. I'm thinking you're a robot." I admitted.His brow furrowed, "A robot?" He asked in confusion. I thought so, he will think I'm weird."Because often you lack emotion. If there's any, you're cold and distant." I explained.The corner of his lips slow

Please, follow me," she quickly said.From the corner of my eye, I saw him only nod and walk ahead. I just shrugged and followed.The lady showed us where Mr. Davis and a young lady were sitting.

Maybe next time, I'll wander around the mansion.The travel took more than two hours. The sun was starting to rise when we landed at an airport.I quietly walked behind him, observing the surroundings. Wait, is someone picking us up here?I hurriedly approached him when I realized the distance between us."My cousin will get us here," he quietly informed me. It seems like he's reading my thoughts once again. I nodded.We walked for a few minutes until we reached the airport exit. I saw a man in a black suit, resembling Marcus. This must be his cousin, probably a few years younger.The man smiled broadly when he saw us approaching."Yow! My dearest cousin! You still look great as always!"

I covered my ears.“What the fuck, bitch!” She slapped and pulled me while I'm struggling.“Nathalie!” Marcus' mom stopped her. Nathalie turned to her with a different expression that I've never seen before.“Let her go now, Nathalie,” Marcus' mom looked at her, but Nathalie just laughed.“Don't tell me you've changed your mind, old lady,” she walked towards her while Marcus' mom looked at me. I can't read her expression.“She's pregnant! There's life inside her womb,” she said and looked away.“Oh come on! The plan won't change even if she's pregnant. Besides, that would be more exciting!

You smell bad,” I said, and he smelled his clothes.“You're just making excuses,” he said while caressing my tummy.“Baby, did you hear your daddy? He doesn't want to listen to mommy,” I said, and he looked at me.“I just didn't want to leave you and your mom, baby,” he said, talking to our baby.“Just take a shower,” I said, and he stood up.“Fine, but I'll be quick. I'll be back soon,” he said and gave me a peck of a kiss. He also kissed my tummy.“Wait for me, baby, okay?” I rolled my eyes. He's acting as if he's going somewhere far, but he's just going to take a shower in the bathroom.He first went to get his clothes in his car and then came back to take a shower.“I'll be quick,” he turned around, and I threw him the pillow, making him laugh.

He asked again. I didn't know how many times he asked that question until I woke up."Marcus, you know what? You should take a rest. Mom told me that you didn't leave until I regained consciousness.""No, I want to stay here. I will not leave you," he said, shaking his head like a baby.He held my tummy while smiling. He looked like he had lost his mind."You've been doing that the whole time," I uttered, but he just held my hand."I've been waiting for this day to happen, that you would remember me. I didn't waste my time and kept searching for you. I didn't stop until I found you. I was happy when I saw you that night. I'm happy that you came.

Why didn't she tell me? And I've been here for almost a month? I'm confused. My head hurts because of thinking too much.“I mean Helena, darling,” she held my hand, but I just looked at her.

I tried to look at who Sofia was calling, and moments later, I saw her face. She looked like me.But how?"I'm not. She's your only sister, okay? And she's lovely. I'm happy to meet her," she said while Marcus hugged her from behind.I closed my eyes as my head hurt."Promise me that you will never leave my brother," Mandy sounded serious."He is the only one I have, and I don't want to see him in a messy situation again.

He didn't react because of shock.“So-Sofia-” I laughed sarcastically. Now he had the guts to call me Sofia after all that he did?!“When are you planning to tell me about this?!” I shouted at him, and he was about to walk closer to me, but I stopped him.“Don't you dare, Marcus!

He said he still loved Sofia, that he'd been looking for her for many years and suffered for years, and yet he already knew where she was, but he was still here making things worse.Who would not get mad because of the way he is acting?"Listen, I know you are mad. Yes, I admit I already found her, but what can I do if she keeps on pushing me away?" He drinks his champagne in just one gulp.Pushing him away?! I couldn't understand this man!"Are you making excuses?" I crossed my arms, furrowed my eyebrows, and looked into his eyes."I'm not; I know you won't believe my words, and I don't want to make things harder, okay?" Damn him!

I did all I could to make him believe that I loved her because I really loved her,” he said, his voice cracking. He was hurt as well as I was.It hurts hearing him say how he loved Sofia while I am here admiring him from afar. It hurts seeing him like this. I wanted to hold his hand and hug him tight, but I didn't have the strength to do it.I admit that every time I hear him say that he loves Sofia, I get jealous, but I don't have the right. I was jealous, and I wanted to steal him from her, but I knew I couldn't do it. Because no matter what I do or who I am, I can never replace Sofia in his heart.“Did she know?” I asked him to look at me.“Yes,” he said, which shocked me. She knew?
