[ Sophia ]

It had been a week since we came back from the dinner with Larson family.I heard from Candance that Ashton Corp. joined hands with the Larsons,a local company in Denmark to step their foot in a foreign country.I also heard from her that Edward wasn't happy with Daniel's stepping back from their initial offer though in a press release they stood together as one family.

Speaking of Daniel,after our last encounter at my door step when he kissed me on forehead, he had been avoiding me or what I assumed as he started leaving early for the office and returns back late at night after I retire to my bed.We hardly saw each other in this week and somewhere in the farthest corner of my heart,it bothered me.

Did he regret kissing me because I didn't find it inappropriate by any means.He kissed me out of gratitude or may be....he actually wanted to kiss me.

I jerked my head to shake off his thoughts which had been conjuring me for last few days and try to concentrate on a piece of Old

    [ Sophia ]The conversation with Aaron left a deep impact on my narrative of life.I made errors in my decisions.Daniel was right when he said, I had the chance to save us both but I chose to drown dragging him along.Aaron stayed for the dinner on my insistence.I enjoyed every single second of his company, with him I realised the true meaning of having a sibling.Living with Olivia wasn't no less than a torture itself.She missed no opportunity to show me how her parents were doing charity upon me by providing me the shelter of a family, a family I never wanted for myself.I waited for Daniel until the clock stuck eleven thirty.Being tired by an exciting day,I went to sleep hoping to see Daniel in the morning if he doesn't leave before sunrise.I set my alarm for five thirty in the morning.Someone had to break the ice and this time I was more guilty than him....or it had always been only me?I knew the answer.I woke up with the buzzing of my alarm and quickly got over with my morning j

    [ Sophia ]To say, it wasn't an eventful day at the university as we walked together, hand in hand like a couple deep in love with each other,would be a plain lie.Daniel became the epicenter of attention of the female staff as well as the students in the university campus whereas I'd be found in the deepest of the crust by the intense burning glares aimed at me by those girls who passed by us.Daniel seemed least bothered by the activities around him but it threw total opposite effect upon me.It made me realise, how powerful, domineering and radiant personality he possess when it comes to show the world.He talked to the academic administration with elegance of a high rank man,which he is but I couldn't take my eyes off from him.He never for once tried to pull his strings which he could do easily rather than walking from one office to another to compelete the admission formalities even though the head of the admission department offered him to sit comfortably and let them finish the jo

    [ Sophia ]I flipped the pages of the books I was reading trying my level best to concentrate on the content but it was absurd because my mind was drifted to our conversation we had our way to university.We had our lunch together in his study room.He simply asked me to join him and I couldn't refuse him.I didn't figure out why but I do not feel alienated whenever he is around me because he never tried to invade my personal life in his own house.Honestly,I had not been this free spirited when I lived with James and Lily.They used to keep a tab on my activities outside the house .Our equation has been changing steadily.Surprising.. isn't it?But it's true.Well I was quite most of the time .He kept asking about my studies and advised me on certain topics on which I have a loose grip.His eyes were shining in the mid sun as he was driving himself.I found it weird but I couldn't interrogate him as our relation isn't even sprouting.He was speaking very softly to me.I wondered if someone

    [ Sophia ]It was hell awkward of a moment. I had to tell Daniel about my periods but what surprised me that he showed his concern for my health rather than being pissed off as I spoiled our preplannned programme.He pulled the car in the driveway.The guards rushed to open the car doors for us. It pained me like a bitch when I stretched my legs and spine to climb out of the car but I didn't show it on my face. Daniel was already tensed for my health and I had no heart to increase his concern."Be careful."He rushed to my side as I stumbled on my feet.He took my bag and purse from my hand in spite of my revolt.It wasn't healthy for his image among his employees if he run errands for his wife. It didn't suit his status and personality. I only prayed that no one would spill it to Mrs. Ashton."Let me hold you ,Sophia.I don't think you're able to walk on your own."He said offering his hand for me to hold.I grabbed his hand and shifted my weight on him as it was very painful for me to wal

    [ Sophia ]Waking up to the thundering clouds,I tried opening my lazy eyes and found the room draped in darkness.I slept after having my light meal in the afternoon.I didn't realize what time it was,but surely after the sunset.I tried to focus my vision in the faint light coming through the open windows and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.I checked the time, it was quarter seven means I slept for more than five hours but it helped me to regain my energy and the cramps weren't severe like earlier. I switched on the lights and rushed to freshen up first before heading downstairs to check upon Daniel whom I owned a sincere apology.After getting freshed,I made my way the downstairs to the kitchen where I was greeted by the maids with silent nod of acknowledgement and a 'good evening' from Maya."Are you feeling better Mrs. Ashton?"She asked me while handing me a cup of tea."Yes, the hotwater bag helped a lot."I sipped my tea and let it's refreshing strong flavors clear my lethar

    [ Daniel ]The decision my grandfather made, it disturbed my mental peace. He was adamant to disown my parents which would lead to their worse days and it was the last thing I wished for them.I admit that they did horrible things to me and my brother, at a point, they were even ready to remove me from their way but despite their flaws, they were still my parents and seeing them suffering for rest of their lives, it didn't fit well with me.I couldn't enjoy the power and immense wealth when they live a life of adversity but my grandpa was one of a stubborn man. If he made his mind about something, it was impossible for anyone to move his determination."Daniel, what are you doing here at this hour?" Sophia's soft voice snapped me out of my deep thoughts. I looked around and found I spent the whole evening strolling by the lakeside and now, the temperature had fallen to a point when I felt my bone clattering with cold but the next moment, a blanket was being wrapped around my shoulders

    [ Sophia ]"Shall we go in the living room now?" I asked craning my head a little to glance at Daniel who had his eyes closed."Can we stay here for five minutes more? I like us here, naked and in each other's arms." His grip on my waist tightened more, soft butterflies erupted in my belly but we had to get up."It's past eight, Daniel. You know your brother more than me. He has no filter in his vocabulary and he's definitely going to tease us." I said."Then let him. We're not doing anything wrong. We're doing what married couples do inside their bedroom and their guests has no right to poke their nose in their hosts' personal life." He replied nonchalantly."Hey, Aaron is your brother." I slapped his chest," And I need to use the bathroom or my bladder will burst in next two minutes." I protested and this time it worked. He loosened his grip on me and I chose the moment to slip out of the blankets."I like this view more than anything in this world." He smirked, his eyes raking on m

    [ Sophia ]"Daniel, let's go inside. Aaron and Daisy must be up by now." I said to Daniel in whose arms I was cuddling for last couple of hours.The morning sunrays falling over our faces forced us to go back inside the house."Can we just stay here for a little while? I mean I prefer you being in my arms than anything else. I missed your body against mine, your vibrant smile and your sweet voice." He said in my ear and nuzzled his neck in the hollow of my neck."Your arms are my heaven, Daniel but we have been sitting here for last two hours. Don't you want to have a hearty breakfast with all of us?" I asked him while trying to control myself from moaning."I need you, Soph." He whispered in a hushed voice and slowly crawled his hand under my sweater. I shuddered as soon as his cold fingers came in contact with my warm skin."But..we're..not..alone in this..house."I tried to surpress my moan as his hand moved upward and stopped just below my breasts while his other hand slipped under

    [ Sophia ]I had no words or strength to calculate the hours I spent staring out of the window of my room at the vast sky. The aching numbness in my heart was something I couldn't control. My Daniel looked happy when he annouced his elopement with a beautiful woman whom the Goddess Venus had created with Her own hands. She looked perfect in his arms, they looked perfect which made me realise a very harsh and cruel truth that I was nothing but a poor girl coming from the shitty gutters compared to their life.But my Daniel.He never let our socio-economic differences wedge a rift between us since the beginning of our marriage. He always treated me as his better half. I fell too hard for my husband that it felt impossible for me to breathe a single moment without him.I rubbed my burning eyes when they begun to rebel against my solo mourning over my broken heart. The sky had slowly turning a bright shade of gray. The dawn was marking it's presence in the horizon. I looked at my wrist wa

    [ Daniel ]"This is unacceptable, Edward." Morrison slammed his hands on the wooden table making the ladies flinch by surprise. His face was radiating fury and my father had a timid cloak on."We have no other options, Mr. Morrison. My father stabbed me on the back by transferring his property on that poor girl. I am sure it's her trick. She manipulated my father by her innocent acting. All I am asking you to give us some time or accept Daniel's conditions." My father casted a disappointed look at my direction. For the first time, the man was defeated by someone ,not someone but his own blood.Morrison looked dead in my eyes. He would kill me with a single shot if he was given an opportunity. I surely put him in a big dilemma."You're going to pay for this, Daniel Ashton so your lover." He tried to threaten me but I was unphased by his hollow threats."I am not afraid but you're, Mr. Morrison. Like I said before, I fucking don't care and Sophia is far from your reach.

    [ Daniel ]"The agreement is bound to happen in this marriage, Daniel because I do not trust you with my daughter and more importantly our business. You and your little wife has already put a daint on Ashton's image. People ridicule the Ashton family in every way possible." Morrison mocked at my face. It was a direct attack on my family but I didn't care what he thought about the latter."Alright, I heard your reasons, Mr. Morrison now it's my turn, if I am allowed to speak." I spared a glance at my parents whose faces were red with the humiliation but they couldn't say a word to Morrison as he was the biggest alliance who was going to help us spread our roots in the gulf countries."You will tie the knot with Emma after two weeks so you have all rights to put forward your opinions as long as they don't hurt our sentiments." He made it very clear that he wouldn't take any insult in return but I had no care in the world for what he thought or how he tamed my ambitious parents so easily

    [ Daniel ]I felt like I was stabbed multiple times by the sharpest dagger and yet my soul wasn't ready to leave my body. I was played by the cruel game of fate or I say my very own family."Daniel, you're here. I have been looking for you in the whole mansion." My mother's regal voice echoed in the air, she put extra efforts to sound annoyed but she or my father were the last person on the earth whom I wanted to be around me at the moment.I gripped the railing bar tightly in order to restrain myself from leashing out on her and ruin everything for me."What do you want now, mother." I didn't try to hide the distaste in my tone."Daniel, do not behave like a brat that your ex-wife turned you into. Emma is the right choice for you. Jesus! She was always on the top of my priority list among those girls I want you to marry. Thanks to your grandfather who brought the little piece of rag in our family but I don't care as she isn't a part of our life anymore and I'll make sure she would ne

    [ Sophia ]To say I was cool, would be a plain lie. My heart had not been at peace since Daniel left me to work on his plan to bring us out of this web of conspiracies. I mean why do his family can't let us live as we want us to be.They have problem with me and they found me unfit as their daughter in law just because I do not belong to elite rich class or my parents didn't hold a high place in the society.Is it necessary to possess wealth to get the approval of society or the virtues only embrace the people with wealth coming from all the sources.I find it total blasphemous. I mean the elite class is the one who lacks most of the human virtues, their empire is built on the sweat and blood of the poor working class or what the events from history tell us."Hey, cupcake." Aaron's always chirpy voice snapped me out of my platonic thoughts."Hey..sorry I was just..you know."I dismissed my negative thoughts from conjuring my sane state of mind."It's okay, dear sister in law.
