[ Sophia ]

Finally, the day had come when my destiny was going to be changed so my last name.

It felt so strange,I have lived twenty three years of my life with a name which is my identity but with two words, it will be changed much to my resentment but I knew it was useless to fight for something that should be mine.

My fate was already sealed by others.

I was woken up by Lily at sharp 5:30 in the morning to take a shower and be ready when Rose and her team will arrive to help me in getting ready. The wedding is scheduled to take place at eleven in the morning.

"Nervous?"Rose's melodic voice snapped me out of my venture in the memory lane.

I passed her a faint nod of my head while the girls did my hairs.I opted for a more natural look though Rose insisted on going a little overboard but I simply refused.I couldn't bear to look at my sight if I wasn't able to recognize myself in the mirror.

My gown was also not very extravagant though the shop,Mrs. Ashton recommended through her secre

    [ Sophia ]Finally,after it felt like ages,the reception came to an end.I couldn't make a rough calculation of the time but I am sure,it was around twelve forty or forty five when last group of guests took their departure, now it's only the Ashton and Stone family were left in the huge house.

I had observed her sulking throughout the ceremony and I was fortunate that we didn't had encounter each other.Much to my relief, Olivia kept herself under a good behavior, perhaps her parents warned her to behave at her best, well I never got a chance to see her best of behavior but at least she didn't create any scene throughout the wedding and reception so I guess I could cut her some slacks."Sophia my sweet daughter,I can't believe you're a married woman now and won't

    [ Sophia ]The sight of blood churned my guts,the breakfast I ate moments ago threatened to come out but I couldn't do it right in front of him."Let me do this."I said to him who had been struggling to clean his wound."No I am almost done with it.It's not a deep cut though. "He refused .I rolled my eyes on his stubbornness.Men will always be men.I took a long breath and snatched the scissors and cotton from his other hand.He was reluctant at first but a single glare from me ,caused him to give up.I examined his wound, well the cut wasn't deep but a chunk of glass stuck in his soft skin.My hands trembled.I had done first aid multiple times but I didn't know why I wasn't able to concerntrate.His cucumber and fresh mint shower jel's smell was invading my nostrils.His long calloused fingers and a shiny thin metal band was sitting on his finger reminded me that it's my duty to look after him.I vowed to stay in his sickness and health.I carefully plucked the tiny chunk resulting in more

    [ Sophia ]I rub my sweaty palms on the silky fabric of my expensive dress which might cost Daniel a few thousand dollars.My skin hairs stood up whenever I remembered the price of this evening dress.Initially I thought Rose was joking just to pull my legs as I was reluctant to take something unnecessary costly but when I saw the price tag,my eyes literally popped out of their sockets.I wanted to return it to Rose but it was too late for another dress hunting and when she told me that the dinner will be evolving around Mrs. Mariatte Ashton and other ladies of the Ashton family,I had to go with her preplannned dress and make up.Currently,I am sitting in the backseat of Daniel's car.He is typing away on his phone,probably replying to his mails,as I stole a peak from his phone's screen."Stop stressing yourself Sophia.They won't eat you."He said without glancing up at me.His tone reflected annoyance.It meant he observed my nervousness in my actions."I bet you would have felt the same i

He had been a good friend for last one decade."It's not her fault Aiden."I didn't know why I defended her.The woman only hurt me where it pains the most."It is her fault Daniel.Don't be so blind.I agree it wasn't her choice but she could try to tell you about her family's scheming at least.No Daniel it's not fair.I am no one to intervene

    [ 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.
