Chapter 92: Did You Cheat On Her?
Sofia's POV
I woke up and didn't see Marcus in the room. Maybe he went to the kitchen again to cook for our breakfast. As usual, I went to the cabinet to look for clothes, and after that, I marched to the shower room. After I was done with my daily routine, I decided to go to the kitchen.
So far, staying here made me comfortable, though I'm also worried about my mom. I missed her, and I badly wanted to talk to her, but I knew I couldn't.
I'm also worried about our business. I just couldn't talk about it to Marcus because I knew no matter how I convinced him, he would not do what I wanted.
It's already been a week since the day I first came here. I still couldn't believe that I could stay here for days alone with Marcus.
When I went to the kitchen, I suddenly saw someone cooking. She was the lady I saw when I came here!
I went to her, and she smiled at me. That is why I also gave
Chapter 93: Never Talked About ItSofia's POVI didn't know why I suddenly uttered those words, but I really wanted to know the reason why Sofia never dared to appear in front of him and catch things up with him.I don't know why I'm so eager to know the truth behind Sofia and Marcus. There's a part of me seeking answers.Marcus never talked about it with me, and what Marcus said made me curious about her mom, her sister, and most especially Sofia.I couldn't think of a reason a girl would suddenly disappear and leave the love of her life without a strong reason. There are too many opinions that I couldn't stop thinking about.Maybe because Marcus cheated on her? Or maybe because his mom didn't like her? I shouldn't be thinking about these things, but here I am, stuck in the middle of nowhere, wondering what happened to Sofia. Where is she now?I heard him clear his throat. I wasn't ready for his answer, and at the same time, I didn't know why I felt nervous.I didn't make a sound; I
Chapter 94: Heartbeat Sofia's POV“I had a great day today,” I smiled at him while we were still watching the sunset. It was perfectly beautiful.“I see; I've never seen you so happy before,” he said, which made me look at him.“Actually, what I feel right now is something different. I can't explain it. The only thing I know is that I love watching the sunset, and it's gorgeous.” I don't know why I became too talkative today, but I kind of like it.I looked above while feeling the air brushing my hair.“You're right, it's gorgeous,” he then said. But when I looked at him, he was not into the sunset; he was looking at me. I feel shy for the first time.I cleared my throat and tried to chill things out.“I didn't know that someone like you would also have time for this. I mean, look at you. You're successful, and I think you didn't like this kind of thing.” I fake a chuckle just to change the atmosphere.“It's not because I'm a busy person; it doesn't mean I don't have time for this. H
Chapter 95: I Only Love You, SofiaSofia's POVAfter that day, we often talked. In the meantime, I started avoiding him. I know he wants to talk to me, but I refuse to do so. We just chat when he calls me to eat or asks me if I need something.I often stay in our room while he's in the living area. I don't know why I am doing this; after all, he cleared things out that he's only removing a piece of leaves from my hair. I don't know why I'm making it a big deal.“Helena,” he called me when I decided to go out to our room. I sighed and faced him. His hair was so messy, and he looked frustrated. He also had eye bags.“Look, I know you are avoiding me because of what happened the other day. I'm sorry. It made me sad thinking that you are avoiding me and you don't want to talk to me,” he said, and now I realized why he was acting like that. Maybe that's also the reason why he's stressed.“Are you still mad?” he asked. I was stunned when he showed me those expressions. I feel guilty for avo
Chapter 96: Stupidity Sofia's POVI'm confused now. He calls me Sofia sometimes; however, when he notices me being uncomfortable, he calls me by my name. I'm not used to someone calling me names; that's not even me.Actually, when I heard him say that he still loves Sofia and that he was referring to me, there was something inside me that I couldn't explain.I was surprised, but when I saw how sincere he was, it made me feel longing for something that I didn't understand. I never felt this before. However, the way he talks to me looks into my eyes and takes good care of me... he wants me to feel that I am special.“Marcus, I am not Sofia.” My voice became sad as I wanted to end this. He suddenly held my hand, and his eyes were begging. I wanted to remove it, but then he looked away and wiped his tears.“I just missed her that I did this to you.” Humbled, but I heard him say it.“Look, I'm sorry for what happened to you and Sofia. But it wasn't right that you would keep me here. I hav
Chapter 97: He's Too PerfectSofia's POVAfter what happened, he didn't talk to me. I am embarrassed to talk to him, either. Until now, I still can't forget the way his soft lips touched my forehead.Last night, he didn't sleep in our room; he slept in the living room. I didn't dare to ask him why since I didn't have the courage to talk to him. I waited for an hour, thinking that he might change his mind and go back to sleep in bed, but unfortunately, he didn't.When I woke up, I didn't see him in the house, but he prepared breakfast for us. I searched for him, but he was not around.I ended up eating alone. Besides, I'm too hungry to wait for him. I'll just find him after I'm done taking a shower.After I'm done eating and taking a bath, I just wear shorts and a shirt. I went out of the house and marched through the cottage, thinking that he might be there, but he was not.I tried to find him everywhere we always go when we are bored, but he's not there.Is he mad at me? Or maybe he
Chapter 98: Butterflies Sofia's POV“Ouch!” I uttered as he put something on it. He stopped from applying something to my wound and looked at me.“I'm sorry. Does it hurt so bad?” he asked. I bit my lower lip while looking at him. I could see from here how handsome he was. I can't explain, but the way he looks at me gives me butterflies in my stomach.What's happening to me?“Ah... no— I mean, yes!” What the heck?! What's with the stuttering, Helena? I heard him sigh and slowly clean my wound. Sometimes it's really painful.“Wait! Damn, it's sore,” I complained while looking at my wound. It's not that big, but still, it's painful.Then he leaned closer to my toe, and I just felt air as he blew on it. I feel like I went back to being a kid because of what he did.“Is it better now?” He stopped and looked at me. I couldn't speak. I was shocked because of what he did. That's why I just nodded, and my face heated. Damn!“Are you alright?” He stood up and checked on me.“Are you sick?” I
Chapter 99: A Deal Sofia's POV“Here, taste this one.” I looked at the table, and he cooked a lot. He also designed it like I was in an expensive restaurant. I can't deny that he's totally doing great.I tasted the food he gave me, and it was delicious. I'm not kidding. A man who knows how to cook and is handsome. He's very husband material.“How is it?” He said while placing a glass of juice in front of me. I nodded while chewing.“It's great; you have good cooking skills, for real,” I commented, and he just laughed. This was the very first time I looked at him laughing for a long second, and it gave me joy, too.“After this, I'll show you somewhere,” he said, which made me curious.“Where? I'm curious; is there anywhere else I haven't seen?” I asked him, but he just smiled at me.“I'll tell you when we get there,” he said and didn't answer my question. I secretly rolled my eyes. He likes surprises, huh?After we finished eating, he started to wash the dishes while I was waiting for
Chapter 100: One WeekSofia's POV"Let's make a deal: You will act as Sofia for one week, and after that, you're free. Just one week of being my girlfriend."Damn it! I didn't know what to say when he said those words. I didn't eat dinner, and until now, I'm still lying on the bed.He didn't sleep last night in our room, and I don't know where he went right now.How can he say that to me? But then, when I'm thinking about it, I could benefit from what he said, but at the same time, I don't know how to act as a girlfriend since I have never been in a relationship before.That's why it's hard for me to think about how I would be able to do what he says.Though it's only for one week, I won't lose anything if I try, and I can get the freedom that I want after that.That's only for a week, Helena; after that, you can go home. Just accept that deal.I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen my mind. I just wore a simple, plain yellow dress after I was done taking a shower.After that, I
