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
Chapter 33: HumiliatingSofia’s POVI was intrigued by their conversation. But now? I hate the way she looked at me. Rita looked at me nervously. I can’t understand what’s happening.If she’s one of Marcus's flings, then I don’t care! Live her life being a mistress! Oh, wait? Why I’m getting mad? Calm down, Sofia. You don’t have to deal with his mistress. He can live the life he wants—the same as yours.The two of you agreed that you can have an affair only if the media can see you. That’s right. The woman started walking towards me. My brow furrowed; why does it feel like she wanted to attack me now? Does she know that I’m Marcus' Wife? Is she here to insult me and make fun of me?I tried to look at her in her eyes, too, and that made her smirk. Or is she the woman Marcus loves? The girl he mentioned when he’s drunk? It can be. “I’m sorry, Sofia, she’s not supposed to be here. Marcus told everyone that she should not come here. I’ve been telling her to leave, but she doesn’t want t
Chapter 34: New Girl Sofia’s POV I let out a sigh. I need to forget how Marcus’ mom insulted me. I don’t want to lose my mind. Gosh, she’s very mean. I wish I could do the same. But yeah, I should really don’t think about it. Besides, that’s nothing to do with me because I’m just his fake wife. Maybe she’ll be happy after six months. Because her son will be single again? I smirked at that thought. Rita kept on saying sorry to me in the office, but I told her that it was okay and her words wouldn’t affect me at all. She just wasted her money, but I told Rita to get it. She wanted to refuse, but I told her that she could use that money to help people in need. What I experienced from his Mom was nothing compared to how my aunty and her daughter treated me. That’s why I’m used to that kind of treatment. Besides, all that she said was true. I’m just nothing. I don’t have fame and money, and I agreed with what she said. Sometimes, wealthy people are good at insulting others' feelings.
Chapter 35: Mandy, Marcus’ SisterSofia’s POVMy suspicion was wrong. The girl was not Marcus' fling; it was his younger Sister. I felt bad for thinking that she was his fling.I was surprised because he never tells stories about his family. I should start searching about his family now. I’m sure they have been on the Internet since they were famous, right? I pouted in my mind. “My sister will stay here for a couple of weeks because she has an internship in a company near our place. That’s why she’ll be living with us in the meantime,” Marcus said. I hope this will turn out well.Luckily, I didn’t react earlier that she’s a mistress, though I kept on thinking that she’s Marcus fling. That would be embarrassing if they knew about that. I don’t want to disappoint his sister in our first meeting.I looked at both of them; they somewhat looked alike. Of course, Sofia, they are siblings! Sometimes, I want to slap myself for being judgmental. Please ground open and swallow me alive.“Of c
