Chapter 47: HurtSofia's POVAfter that day, we never talk again. We rarely have a conversation, but it's only a matter of work. I was hurt, I was so dumb, and I felt useless again. Life really played me well. I can't understand why I should experience these kinds of moments in my life. Now that I know, I'm sure that I am already falling for him. It will turn out that I am just nothing to his life but only his contracted wife. Damn that contract! Damn that debt. I should have suffered like this!But I hate to admit this is all my fault. I should not have fallen for him. I know him in the first place. He can’t love someone. He only loves himself.In the morning, I did not see him around the house. He went straight to the office without waking me up. Unlike before, he would greet me and prepare my breakfast, but now it never happened.He can't even look into my eyes. I don't get him. What is the essence of letting me stay here when he’s torturing me every day? He's not talking to me, h
Chapter 48: Divorce HimSofia's POVI can't bear his treatment of me. We never talked, and I was like a dog who kept on following him to the office, and sometimes he did not give me work to do. I am being pathetic in front of him. If he's going home, I need to take a taxi since I don't want to ask him to bring me with him.I want to stop this nonsense. No one knows how much I wanted to talk to him just to make me free. I am useless to him; he can act like I am not here or anywhere. Why doesn't he just kick me out of this house? Why doesn't he just kick me out of his life so we're done, and I will be done with being stupid? I hate this life! I kicked that trash bin on the other side when my phone rang—Maria’s calling. I quickly answered it.“Hi, it's been a week. How have you been?” At this moment, hearing her voice made me feel a little bit okay. “I'm great, how about you? I never heard the news about you since the day we both separated at the bar,” I asked her. But I know she got
Chapter 49: I Love Him Sofia’s POVAfter what happened earlier, I went to Maria’s house.“What happened?” That’s the first question she asked me when I arrived at her house. She’s not expecting me to be here at this moment.“I lied,” I tried to hold back my tears, but when she hugged me, I couldn’t stop but to cry on her shoulder.“Sofia, just cry everything out.” We both sat on her couch while she hugged me and fixed my hair.After many minutes of crying, I gathered my strength to tell her the truth.“Maria,” I held her hand while she waited for my words.“What is it? Is there something wrong?” She asked me, and I slowly nodded.“I can’t help it anymore. I think I love Marcus now,” I said. She looked at me intently.“I thought you were just lying before about your fake marriage. From the first time you told me he’s your husband, I know you love him,” she told me. I love him. I was silent at what she said. “What do you mean?” She took a deep breath and approached me. She pulled me c
Chapter 50: Free MeSofia’s POVI was speechless because of what he said.I looked into his eyes. I hate seeing him like this, but I can’t believe him.If he doesn’t want to let me go, then why does he still hurt me?What’s with his actions? What’s the meaning of his actions when he acts like I never existed?“You loved me?! Tell me! Why do you still have to show me that I’m worthless? I’m useless!” I questioned him. I feel like he’s just using the word love to make me stay. Maybe I loved playing with my feelings!Her mom was right! Someone like him would never be serious about me.“I loved you! Believe me! Please, I never meant to make you feel worthless or useless, Sofia. Trust me! I’m just… I’m just afraid that I might lose you!” He tried to touch me, but I stepped back.“I don’t believe you, Marcus. When I told you that I loved you, that I already fell for you, you just stared at me, not caring about what I said, about my feelings!” I shouted at him.“Sofia, please believe me. I b

Chapter 52: Sign ItSofia's POVThe place was still the same as before, but my table remained, along with my name.I stopped minding it and walked straight to Marcus' table.I could read his expression; he was shocked to see me here.I didn't wait for him to talk or approach me. I gave him my blank expression.I placed the divorce agreement on his table, which made him stare at me.I know he understands what that document means.“What is that?” He rested his back on his chair and crossed his arms. It irritated me because of his demeanor.“That is obviously a divorce agreement. I want you to sign it now,” he just looked at me and didn't seem to care about what I was saying.Damn it!“And why do I need to get involved with that?” His response angered me. He enjoys playing with me.“Just sign it, Marcus, so I don't have to come here to your office. Only your signature is needed for this paper, so just do it,” my voice sounded mad, but I didn't care.“I won't sign it,” he said and pushed
Chapter 53: Conditions Sofia's POV “Just sign the divorce agreement, Marcus, so I could go home.” I don't care if I sound desperate; I needed him to sign the papers. “I told you, Sofia, you're just wasting your time. I won't be signing any of those papers,” he said and sat on his chair, thinking about something. “Why?! I've made an effort to come all the way here just to get your stupid signature, and you will make things harder?!” I couldn't help but get mad. His expression suddenly changed. “Fine, I will sign those papers on one condition,” he paused for a moment. I didn't have any idea what he was thinking, but hearing him would sign those papers made me calm. “What condition?” I asked him, and he smirked and looked at me. “I want you to be my personal secretary for two weeks. Since Ryan left for his vacation, I'll
Chapter 54: Ignoring HimSofia's POVI woke up to knocking on my door. Slowly opening my eyes, I realised it was already late at night.Opening the door while still half-asleep, I was greeted by Marcus.“Sorry to disturb you from sleeping. I made dinner. Let's eat; I know you haven't eaten,” he said. I didn't answer him; instead, I was about to close the door when he stopped me.“Come on, Sofia, you have to eat. I saw you just ate noodles; that's why I cooked your favourite food,” he said, but I just rolled my eyes. However, when I smelled the fried chicken, my tummy started to rumble.Ignoring him, I walked past him. He followed me quietly. When I saw the food on the table, I suddenly felt hungry.I rushed to get a plate and put food on it, not waiting for him and just started to eat.“Careful, everything on the table is for you,” he said, but as always, I didn't answer him.Still mad at him for putting me in this situation again, instead of signing the divorce paper, I began to chok
FinaleSofia's POV“You're pregnant?!” She exclaimed and messed up her hair.“What?!” Marcus' mom walked towards me. I thought she would be happy to hear it and it would change her mind, but she just slapped me.“How dare you do this?!” Nathalie fired the gun near me. 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! Right?! If you choose to not continue with the plan, you'll regret it,” even if I'm too wet and it's cold, Marcus' mom's expression m
Chapter 111: Nervous Sofia's POV“You have to rest, Marcus. I told you I'm okay,” I said while he's still by my side, holding my hand.“I told you, Sofia, I will not leave. I'll stay here,” he said.“Fine, but you have to take a shower. 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.

Chapter 110: BabySofia's POVHe didn't leave my side. He kept checking on me, asking if I needed something or if my head hurt. He didn't stop until I assured him that I was alright."Are you sure?" 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. Actually, I was going to invite Mrs. Presley, but then I found out that her daughter, who passed away not long after you lost your memory, was ret
Chapter 109: Memories Sofia's POV“Sofia,” he called me again. I didn't respond as the doctors kept checking me and saying words. After that, they went out.I remember everything now. It was me who had amnesia, and I didn't remember Marcus and my past.I looked at Mom, and she went in front of me while Marcus gave him space.He sat on the chair while looking at me.“Sofia Darling, I'm worried,” she started crying, and I held her hand.“Mom,” I uttered, and I felt weak.“The doctor said you have to rest, and we should not let you speak for a long time, darling,” she said and caressed my hair.“Mom, how long—” she cut me off and wiped her tears.“You've been here for almost a month, Sofia,” I looked at her, and she seemed surprised by the words she uttered.How did she know? 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 need answers. The las
Chapter 108: Sofia Sofia's POV"Sofia, I like the cookies you baked. Promise me that you will bring cookies even if you are busy, okay?" A cute girl hugged her."Of course, your brother and I will always visit you. Don't worry, I’ll bring you lots of cookies, Mandy," she called the girl Mandy."Don't spoil my sister, Sofia," I looked to see who said that, and it was Marcus. Marcus? 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.

Chapter 107: FoolSofia's POVI hurriedly went outside while he was still busy talking to someone! Damn him! Why did he lie to me?He fooled me! All this time, there's a signal in here, and he didn't bother to tell me about it?! How could he?“Marcus!” I called him, and he turned around, surprised to see me in front of him. 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! You're such a big liar!” I said, and he placed his phone in his pocket. Fuck it! Now I am convinced that he's just really playing me! I'm such a fool for believing him!“Sofia, please let me explain. It's not what you are thinking,” he said, which made me even angrier.“It's not what I think?! Stop fooling me, Marcus! Fuck! I believed in you! I thought you were telling the truth, but you j
Chapter 106: LiarSofia's POVI woke up with a headache. I'm already on our bed, and he's not beside me.All the things that happened last night flash in my head.“Fuck!” I checked myself, and I'm now wearing different clothes. Did he change my clothes?Damn! Should I go outside? This is embarrassing! I don't know what to do.I messed up my hair and slapped my face because of the stupidity I had! We did it. Damn!Then I heard footsteps outside our room, followed by a knock.But I didn't open it. He was calling me, but I didn't respond. I pretended that I was still sleeping when the door slowly opened.I heard him sigh and sit beside me.“Wake up now, sleepyhead,” he said and chuckled. Why is he acting like everything was normal?! We had sex last night, and it was not right! Shit! What should I do? Should I have slapped him? How can I talk to him now?He cupped my face, and I wanted to kick him so badly.“How I wish we could be together like this,” his words caught me. What did he mean
Chapter 105: Pleasure Sofia's POV"Are you mad?" he asked me, but I just shook my head, though I was a little bit mad. 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 lost my appetite."You know what Marcus? Let's just end this night. I'm tired," I said and stood up. I walked past him, but suddenly, I felt a warm hug on my back. It gave me goosebumps, and I couldn't explain it. He rested his chin on m
Chapter 104: Men Were All The Same Sofia's POV“There's nothing to say sorry,” he said, trying to lighten things up.I still couldn't move on from how Marcus endured all of that just for Sofia.“I did everything to make him stay, though I knew that I was hurting her because of what was happening to me. 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?
