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.
Chapter 27: He saved meSofia’s POVI wiped my sweat as we were about to reach the peak of the mountain. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling because, after many years of being lonely and experiencing sadness and horrible things, I became active again. I feel alive. This is the second time around that I felt like I was turning into someone I was before when my parents were still alive.I didn’t notice myself staring at him. His face is serious, yet he still manages to look attractive. Damn this boy, how can someone be so lucky like him? He got the face, the body to die for. And he’s filthy rich too.“Are you okay?” His voice pulled me back into reality. I smiled widely and walked closer to him. As I walked closer, I saw him staring at me, wondering why I was smiling like an idiot.“I’m not okay with this,” I bit my lower lips. Damn it, I couldn’t stop myself from grinning. He’s sweet to me today, so I’ll take advantage of that. After this, he will go back to his normal self, the rude a
Chapter 28: GoodnightSofia’s POVAfter we reached the campsite, everyone kept asking what had happened to me and why Marcus was carrying me all the way there. I told them about what happened, and they were shocked. That’s why, instead of joining him in getting dry wood, he decided to do it alone since we only need a little bit of wood for tonight. I felt bad that I couldn’t join him. I really wanted to accompany him, but he refused.While Danny and his girlfriend continued fixing our tent, I only sat down while reminiscing what happened a while ago. How is that possible? His eyes were full of concern for me. The way he checked me? Is he really worried about me, or I’m just hallucinating everything?Oh! I got it now, maybe because he will be guilty and liable on his part when something happens to his fake wife because, after all, I’m doing him a favour.“Are you okay now?” Jamaica and Yuri went beside me and sat. “Yeah, I think so,” I felt bad for them, knowing that we were lying to t
Chapter 29: FantasizingSofia's POVWhen the sun came up, we packed our things and returned to Yuri’s private beach. This was our last day here because tomorrow would be their wedding. We decided to spend our day here in their clubhouse. The boys were playing billiards right now, and they were enjoying each other's company. It's really good hanging out with rich people. They can do whatever they want and enjoy their lives the way they want it. I don't know what their reaction would be if they knew that I was just pretending to be Marcus' wife, and all of this was a lie. Well, why am I even panicking? The deal is only between me and Marcus. If they know it, then they will. I have no problem with it. Let Marcus deal with it since he’s the one who planned all of this.“Aren't they handsome?” Jamaica went beside me, holding a glass of wine. Indeed, they are; Marcus has everything: the money and the perfect body. Those biceps and abs that I wanted to touch. Wait! What are you thinking, S
Chapter 30: She’ll DisagreeSofia’s POVThe day that Jamaica has been waiting for finally happened. I saw how happy she and Yuri were. I hope that the love they both have is pure. That they are really destined to be together. Yuri and Jamaica made us their bridesmaids and groomsmen. They looked handsome in their suits right now.“You look gorgeous, Jamaica. I know you are over the moon right now, and I’m so happy for you,” I said and hugged her. She’s in tears, and I know that it’s a joy of tears. Even though I just met her a couple of days ago, she has become my friend. “Thank you, Sofia. I can’t believe I would be in this situation right now,” She hugged me again. I wiped her tears away. What a lovely girl.“You deserve it. Enjoy this unforgettable moment of yours,” I said and tapped her back.“The wedding will start in two minutes. Everyone, be ready,” the wedding planner announced. I went inside the church.All of them are waiting for the bride, especially the Groom. All their
Chapter 31: Back to NormalSofia’s POVAfter the celebration, we bid goodbye to them as we are now going back to our own lives. Besides, Yuri and Jamaica will have their honeymoon together.“I will miss you, Sofia,” Jamaica hugged me, and I hugged her back, too.“Me too, thanks for being nice to me and I will miss you also,” I said as we separated.“Of course, you are my friend now!” She held my hand. I can feel how sincere she is. I suddenly remember Maria. I’m sure she and Jamaica will also be friends.“I’m so happy to hear that from you,” I hugged her, and she seemed surprised because of my reaction. Jamaica wasn’t that hard to be friends with; she’s jolly, and I like her attitude. She’s kind, and she’s a lovely girl. I looked at the back.“I’m excited for you. I wish you luck. I hope the next time we see each other again, I will see a little version of you and Yuri,” I joked to her, which made her cheeks turn red. She’s blushing“I’ll try. Be safe with your travel,” she giggled, m
Chapter 32: Sophisticated WomanSofia POVI woke up in the morning because of the sunray touching my face. Did I oversleep? I asked myself as I yawned. I looked for my phone to see what time it was, and it was still early.I went to the bathroom and did my daily routine. As I finished showering, I put on my white blouse and black skirt three inches above my knees. I quickly fixed my hair because maybe he was already in the dining area now.When I reached the dining room, he was nowhere to be found. My brow slightly furrowed. Where did he go? I planned to go to his room, thinking that he may still be sleeping, but then it was locked.I went to his garden, but he was not there. That’s why I decided to go to the dining area, and all I saw was a note. Oh, I remember he had a meeting today.“Your breakfast is ready. If you are reading this, I’m already out of town. I’ll be back tomorrow.”- MarcusI just nodded and started eating. When I arrived at the company, the first one I saw was Jaspe
