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
Chapter 101: I Was FallingSofia's POVI'm lying in bed while he hugs me. I'm not comfortable with our position right now, but I want us to be like this.Marcus is indeed still in love with Sofia."Goodnight, Sofia," he said, tightening his hugs. I gulp because of how close we are."Goodnight, Marcus," I’m ready to close my eyes when his last words make my world stop."I love you, baby." I don't know, but his words hit me differently. I didn't realize that I was actually crying.What's wrong with me? I wipe my tears while not letting him know that I am crying.My heart aches all of a sudden. Why did I long for this night? Things went differently now since I decided to act as Sofia and when I admitted that I was falling.I closed my eyes, not daring to answer him."You are the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with," I heard a man say behind me. When I turned around, I saw the figure of a man holding a woman's hand; it was blurry."Marcus, I wanted to spend the rest of my li
Chapter 102: Just PretendSofia's POVThis is the second day that I will be pretending to be Marcus' girlfriend. Honestly, I wish to finish it in just a snap. Accepting that damn deal was not a good idea.I woke up without him by my side. I sighed, remembering what happened last night, but I couldn't dwell on it.I stood up to take a shower and do my daily routine. After that, I went to the kitchen and saw him drinking his coffee."Good morning," he greeted me before taking a sip of his coffee. I sat in the chair, and he handed me a glass of milk."Good morning," I greeted him back. He smiled as if nothing had happened. Maybe this is the best way for us both to act as if nothing had happened."Do you remember your dream last night?" he asked. At first, I was curious because he didn't have to ask, but I just shook my head."No, do you have plans today?" I asked him, thinking that we might do something to lessen the boredom."I have plans, but I'll tell you tonight. First, I'm planning
