Chapter 19: Danny and Yuri Sofia's POV"At last, you showed us your lovely wife!" My cheeks turned red at what I heard. Why were they complimenting me so much now? I'm not used to it."Whatever, Danny. Where's Yuri?" He asked him, completely ignoring his first sentence. The man named Danny chuckled; I assumed he was one of Marcus's friends."He's inside with his future wife," he answered, glancing at me. I check him up too. He's a blonde guy with piercing in the ear. He looked more like a playboy than a billionaire. But I know, he's also a billionaire. Their wealth makes me a bit envious. Oh wait, I have a wealthy friend too. And unfortunately, I'm the poor one. I just laughed at the thought."Sofia?" I snapped back to reality when Marcus called my name.Huh? Are they talking to me? "Pardon?" I asked confusedly. They all stared at me."Are you okay?" He asked. Of course, I'm fine. Just daydreaming. "Are you tired?" He added.I nodded, "Just a little. But don't worry, I'm fine. So, t
Chapter 20: Pretending Sofia's POVAfter having breakfast, they invited us to go to Yuri's private beach. That was another thirty-minute trip. It sounds exciting, but I'm still tired from the earlier travel. Can we go there later this afternoon?But I don't want to be a killjoy, so I agreed. At seven in the morning, Marcus and I prepared some things to get to the beach. We'll be staying there for three days and two nights.Maybe this is one reason why we'll be here for a while—an instant vacation. And I realized, we still haven't had our honeymoon. Wait, there wasn't even a wedding night; and honeymoon? I must be kidding myself. I'm becoming delusional. It's time to stop overthinking. I might completely lose my sanity."Woohoo! We're here now!" I heard Danny exclaim as soon as the van stopped. I noticed he brought a girl with him. She must be his girlfriend... or a fling? I don't know.While Michael, he brought his girlfriend, whom he introduced earlier before we left. I understand
Chapter 21: Pregnant?Sofia's POVI was just staring at the blue sea. The guys with us were drinking while chatting. While Irene, Danny's girlfriend, and Veronica, Michael's girlfriend, were swimming now.Meanwhile, Jamaica was sitting next to Yuri. They looked sweet together. I wondered if they'd been in a relationship for a long time. I assume they love each other, that's why they are getting married now. I admire that kind of love, the love where they want to spend their lives together. I remember my parents. My mother once told me behind a happy relationship, there is always sadness and pain.Even though I haven't been in a relationship before, I know my mother's words are true.Love hurts. Love will destroy you, yet it will also rebuild you. I inhaled deeply and smiled a little."What are you doing here alone? Won't you join them? Or us?" I was slightly surprised. Marcus sat beside me and looked at what I was looking at.I didn't expect him to approach me since I knew he wanted
Chapter 22: WorriedSofia's POV"So, this is what will happen. It's not boys versus girls because that's unfair. Michael and his girlfriend will team up with us. While Marcus and Sofia, you will team up with Danny and his girlfriend," Jamaica instructed us.From the corner of my eyes, I immediately saw Danny smirking while approaching Marcus. He seemed happy with his team. Meanwhile, Marcus wore a frown.If I were him, I would do the same. Danny placed his hand on Marcus's shoulder, but Marcus promptly removed it. I couldn't help but smile. They were fun to look at."Get your hands off me," he warned him but Danny just grinned."Is that how to treat your teammates-" he stopped talking when he saw Marcus give him a death glare."Oh chill. I love to be in your team. Let's kick their ass," Danny confidently said. Marcus arched his brow."I didn't want this to happen. But alright, let's start. What are the rules, Jamaica? I know this is not just a normal game, am I right?" Marcus asked.
Chapter 23: Truth or DareSofia’s POV“So, Sofia, how did the two of you meet?” Yuri asked me. We are playing truth or dare now. Maria and I have usually played this game before, and it’s quite fun. But when we play this now, I feel nervous.This is what we are avoiding: questions. But it looks like we can’t do something but join them. I smiled widely and looked at Marcus. He’s looking at me too. He’s probably wondering what I should answer.I was wondering the same. What should I answer? “Tell them now, love. Don’t be shy,” Marcus said. That’s his sign for me to tell lies. Why should I lie if I can tell the truth? I’m just kidding.“Well. I meet him at the café I’m working at,” I answered, catching their attention, even Marcus's. “Café? I never thought Marcus would go to such a place like that?” Yuri said, slightly confused.“You don’t know me well, Yuri. You know I love coffee.” Marcus said seriously, but a playful grin was playing on his lips.“Oh, I understand it now. You’re addic
Chapter 24: WishSofia’s POVI woke up in the morning because of a loud bang on the door. Who’s knocking early this morning? I asked myself while getting up. But I stopped quickly when I felt Marcus’s hands on my thigh. My eyes widened slightly.The person behind the door knocked three times again. So, I carefully remove his hand and get off the bed. Thankfully, he did not wake up.When I opened the door, I saw Jamaica standing while smiling widely. “Jamaica, is there any problem?” I asked her. She shook her head, “No, nothing. I just came here to check on you and your husband. Is he still asleep?” she asked. There’s a malicious smile playing on her lips.Why is she looking at me like that? I couldn’t help but wonder. I nodded my head, “Yes, he is. But I think he will wake up later. Don’t worry, he’s fine. How about the others?” I asked.The smile on her lips widened, “Everyone is fine. Anyway, let him sleep for a while. We will go to the island at ten in the morning. Just tell him wh
Chapter 25: IslandSofia’s POV“It’s so beautiful here!” I exclaimed as soon we reached the island. It is an isolated island owned by Danny. I assume the three of them owned multiple islands. I wish I could own one, too. But that’s impossible because I can barely cover my daily expenses.We will stay here only for four to five hours. It’s too dangerous for us to stay here at night because of the wild animals in the woods.I felt Marcus beside me, so I looked at him. “About last night…” he started. I raised an eyebrow. Don’t tell me he remembered what he said last night. Well, I would like to talk about that matter too.“What about it?” I asked even if I already had an idea. He looked away and sighed, “I’m too drunk. I don’t remember all what I said, but do you have any chance of hearing me saying something about the person I love?” he asked me.I stared at him. But then suddenly grinned. Of course, I heard him loud and clear. “Oh, about that. It makes me wonder who the lucky girl is.
Chapter 26:HikingSofia’s POV“Where the two of you go?” Danny asked us when we returned. Marcus just shrugged his shoulder while I just smiled and ignored his question. He raised an eyebrow, but then later, a smirk formed on his lips.What the hell is he thinking again? “Did the two of you –” I quickly stopped him. “No, it’s not what you are thinking, Danny. You nasty asshole.” He laughed hard. “What? I didn’t say anything. What are you thinking, Sofia? I was about to say the two of you roam around the woods,” he said.My face turned red slightly. I wasn’t thinking about something intimate, okay? The way Danny looked at us was just… he was thinking something nasty. I felt Marcus' arm on my waist, so I looked up.“Don’t mind him. Let’s go,” he said. I nodded. While walking away, I heard Danny laugh hard. He loved to tease us now—that jerk.After we ate our lunch, we ready ourselves. We will hike and camp. They suddenly changed the plan a few hours ago. We will stay here till morning.
