[ Daniel ]

Two days passed.My father left for a business trip to France for a week which gave me more time to work upon my plan to anul the agreement.

Meanwhile,I and Sophia came closer than before,we often shared hugs and kisses on cheeks though I craved to taste her sweet lips again but it wasn't the wise choice,the kiss at the hotel was a result of the romantic environment.

Sophia certainly gained the entire city's attention within a single night when paparazzi caught us in cameras when we were walking on the roadside.I hate being under the radar of media but this time they helped me to show a proper display of a normal marriage, in case my dad tried to frame it as a deal to daint my name as possible heir.

I was reading a file of the ongoing project when my phone vibrated on the wooden table.I groaned in frustration.I hated those people who disturbed me during my working hours but I knew I could not ignore that one.

I furiously swiped the green button putting the phone on speaker r

    [ Sophia ]Two days passed since our date and encounter with Nicholas who didn't try to interfere in our lives means he actually left the country much to my temporary relief. Daniel got himself busy in his work but we somehow managed to steal some moments during the three meals and a good bye kiss from Daniel which I grew to get used to.Finally it's the Tuesday which slipped from my mind but when Daniel reminded me about it over the tea in the morning,my mood soured.I chose to stick to my words but the plans seemed to backfire on me.I video called Rose to help me in selecting the 'perfectly perfect dress' in Mrs. Ashton's opinion and the dress she recommended,it cost a fortune of 10,000 euros,a budget of a brand new car.It was a teal blue gown made with the finest silk and had a fishtail.I loved it but it was too much to wear on a simple lunch at Ashton's residence but the word 'simple' doesn't exist in the dictionary of Marriatte Ashton.I spent three hours to give Rose's team to do

    [ Sophia ]I squirmed on my seat the vulture squad took me in by their preying gaze as we were sitting on a round table.I sipped the bitter liquid, the worst taste of wine they called expensive and rare aged for twenty years but I didn't show it on my face."So, my dear Sophia..."A blonde lady,with perfectly polished nails flaunting her big diamonds sitting on her fingers to scream how rich she was,broke the silence."Yes Mrs.."I trailed off not knowing her name or even surname."I am Ophelia Statanhall,the chairperson of Women's Welfare Club for last five years. You know I have been elected unanimously evertime as I work with my passion to lift up the lives of unprivileged women from the working class."She introduced herself with her designation.I couldn't miss the scowl on other women's face including Mrs. Ashton.Well it would be fun to fuel the fire in the spark."Oh really!

    [ Sophia ]I thanked all the Gods known by the human kind as soon as I returned home in a single piece.It was already five in the evening when the vulture squad released me from their captivity.Seeing, the spot of Daniel's car vacant I immediately knew that he wasn't at home.I sighed and again prayed greedily to the Gods that when Marriatte comes,Daniel would be at home."How did it go Madam?"Maya asked whom I found dotting on the doorstep."Unbelievable,I will fill you in tomorrow at tea if Mrs. Ashton spare us some privacy."I grinned ear to ear while recalling the dramatic event of the day."She isn't an early riser so don't worry about her to interrupt us at our tea time."Maya followed me to my room while taking my coat and purse."Did you shift my stuffs in Daniel's room?"I asked her to confirm so I could lock my room until Marriatte will stay."I guess whatever you asked me to shift in Mr. Ashton's room."She answered.I threw the heels in a corner of my room and immediately felt

    [ Daniel ]I woke up at my usual time after an everlasting slumber.I slept peacefully like I was in heaven for the first time in years or I correct my statement, decades since I was a child and used to sleep on my grandmother's lap while she sang lullaby for me.I felt some shuffling on my left side and a silky touch tingled on my neck and jaw causing me to peel my eyes open widely only to witness the most divine sight ever.I blinked my eyes several times to believe what I saw.I thought it was a dream turned out to be reality.My little wife was nestled into me,her tiny arm wrapped around my torso whereas her head rested where my heart was beating crazily for her.Involuntarily, a smile escaped its way on my lips as I observed our sleeping position.We were hugging each other like it was our last day on earth.Our feet tangled up together.My smile grew wider,though her head on my forearm caused little inconvenience for me as my blood pressure was blocked give a numb sensation to my arm

    [ Sophia ]Its been two days since Mrs. Marriatte came to live with us and nothing particular had changed,I mean she mostly spent her day out with her friends at some social events,can't help wondering but her normal behaviour except some occasional snarky remarkes whenever Daniel wasn't around but nothing that could effect me.Speaking of Daniel,he totally became a mother hen.He never left my side, mostly handling his work from home.He went to office only when an important meeting required his presence which he tried to schedule in his mother's absence at the home.Today when I woke up,I missed the heat of his embrace which I had been enjoying.It wasn't intimate but it gave a strange kind of warmth.I ended up crossing my barrier every night.A frown etched on my lips as I found the room empty,the coldness in the room was the proof that he was long gone.I quickly got out of the bed and showered to start my day earlier than usual.Its only 7:30 in the morning means he left without havi

    [ Sophia ]The meeting with the ladies and the organisers went well opposite to my initial fear of ruining everything for me,when I finally freed from all the planning process in which, I gave a few innovative ideas of my own,for example; inviting the senior citizens and the women who own small scale businesses in country side to give a strong notice to the nation about the women empowerment.I also advised them to cater the raw food material directly from the farms,like meat,eggs,dairy products,fruits and vegetables than to serve a very costly five star hotel's food to cut short the budget.So we can use the money in the welfare of poor children's education in developing counties.A very ambitious Ophelia Statanhall was on the ninth cloud upon hearing my last suggestion and announced in front of all the rich folks that she wanted me as a permanent member of the council much to the other's resentment but they couldn't oppose the wife of a very influential man in politics.Ophelia instan

    [ Daniel ]I felt on cloud nine after the most amazing breakfast surprise with Sophia at my office.She was trying to take initiative in our marriage which raised my hope for a happy ever after with her.I tried to wrap the meeting with the stubborn head Mr. Chang in next three hours. The man asked for a week's time to finalise the last remaining details of our business agreement and for that he must return to his country and discuss it with the CEO of their company.Having nothing in particular to do,I decided to check upon her if she's free so I could take her out for a light lunch and then perhaps take her to a carnival.I picked my phone to call her when my phone screen flashed with a private number.Very few people had access to my personal number means the caller was an important person so I,without any doubt answered it."Daniel Ashton..."I introduced myself in my cold professional tone."Hello my dear Daniel.I am Ophelia Statanhall."Came the very sophisticated yet warm voice of

    [ Sophia ]My heart sank with the possibilities of his suspecioun on mine and Mason's relationship.I didn't want him to get a wrong idea about us."Sophia..."Daniel's voice broke the thick silence inside the car which I had been bearing for hours. He was unusually quite since his unexpected meeting with Mason.I tilted my head to face him whose eyes, for the first time moved on me."If you don't mind, may I say something?"He asked and the obvious reaction I witnessed for last an hour was enough to give me a rough idea of his upcoming questions but I was also prepared to clarify the slightest chance of misunderstanding between us."Sure..."I gave a tight nod of my head for him to continue.He sucked a deep breath,"Don't get me wrong but the way you both were interacting on a public place,I mean it wasn't safe for your image.You were lucky that no one spotted you two otherwise it would have been a news in the public....and...you know how it effects our image in the eyes of people.

    [ 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.
