I spend the night in a random room, not wanting to witness that state of his. A lot of things were left in my mind but the most mystifying thing was, ‘What does he mean by I am his?’ Was he referring to our contract? Or there's something else? I was lost in thoughts and before I knew it, The dawn fell upon the sky. I closed my eyes and remained like that for a while. A lot of unwanted things came to my mind and stirred it drastically. “Forget it, Sophie, it's useless to think.” Taking a deep breath, I walked out and went to my room and took a relaxing bath to relax both my burning mind and body. I walked out and wore a casual red shirt and black jeans and went to have breakfast. I saw Christian in his usual dominant form there. It's better if we don't remember about last night. Without acknowledging his presence, I took my usual seat. He looked at me for a second and asked, "Why didn't you come to the room?" For a second as my heart skipped a beat, I thought that he reme
"Tell me, why is my daughter so devastated?" I heard my mother's voice. ‘No. Don’t.’ My steps froze to the ground when I heard it. It sends shivers down my spine to think what Christian will do when we will go home."You promised you'll take care of her and why the hell did you comply with the contract?" Promised? Knowing mother she must have asked him to take care of me and comply on contract, what are they talking about? ‘Guess what mother, he broke that promise as well as your daughter.’"You know. why... I..." He trailed off. And the devil was nervous. Absurd."I don't need any justification. I want to know the reason why you gave her that much anguish." Mother sternly said. “How could you do this? You said you won’t.” I don't know what took over me as I felt like Mother was wrong. She can't talk to him like this. He gave us a house, money and paid for Eugene’s expenses.We know that our relationship isn't based on love. I walked inside saying with my eyes narrowed to correc
Christian POV:-‘What have I done? How much have I scared her?’I felt bad looking at Sophie. I know she was always in despair since the moment we got married but now, I want to obliterate that despair.‘I had enough of this fright.’ “Sophie, Please.” Even though I can't give her love. But, I don't want to hate her either. She had enough, I don't want to hurt her anymore. ‘But, I know after what I did, she can never love me. I don’t even want her to love me; I just don’t want her to be scared of me.’ “Calm down, it’s going to be alright.” I whispered. I want to redeem my mistakes. I want to start my life anew with her . Not with a contract but as husband and wife. Maybe, we both can find salvation like this. I wanted to remove the bad memories from her mind now but I know it’s not possible… after what I did.“Sophie-” I made a wrong choice as I put my hand over her shoulder to calm her but she was far too terrified to relax in my presence.I felt my heart heavy when tears rolled
Henley knocked as his deep voice came, "Come in." She opened the door and motioned me to come in. I walked in as Christian was shocked to see me. "Sir, The meeting is in 10 minutes." She said as she left me alone with him. I timidly handed him the file, "Here you go." I said feebly. "Thanks." He smiled. ‘Maybe this is the first time he smiled at me.’ “It’s okay..” I looked away and was about to leave but he said. "Sophie, can you wait, I'll finish my meeting and then we can go home together. Please." He said desperately. He knows that I'll refuse. I looked at him for a second and then took a seat. His smile grew wider as he stood up, "Thanks, I'll be back." He said as he left, leaving me alone here. I don’t know why I stayed. I was looking around. The room was quite big, well that was expected. I looked around. I walked towards the window and looked out of it. Even Amber One wasn't that big. I was looking out and got so lost in thoughts. ‘Why did he become that swe
We reached home and had dinner. I went to our room as my heart skipped a beat, remembering all those agonizing memories that room gave me. We awkwardly stood in the room. We were lost in our own thoughts. I, in dread, which he can never eradicate. He, in penitence that I can never forgive him. We looked at each other for a second as we both said at the same time. "Let's sleep." This all is so awkward. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I realized that I forgot my clothes outside. I was about to call Christian but he knocked first. "You forgot your clothes." I heard his voice. I slowly opened the door, he was looking away while holding the clothes. He isn't trying to look at my exposed form, well that's unusual coming from him. “Thanks…” I took the clothes and wore them and walked outside. He went to the bathroom without sparing a glance at me. I laid on my side and tried to sleep but I just couldn't. I sensed him coming out of the bathroom and lay
We reached the hospital and I am so exhilarated that I forgot that I am with the person I hate as I cling onto his arm. “Oh my God.” To my delight, I forget everything. My heart was beating fast with glee. I pushed the door open and saw Eugene sitting as he looked at me. I covered my mouth with my hand as tears brimmed in my eyes. I rushed to his side and hugged him and began to cry out loud. "Eugene!" I cried. Mother's eyes also teared up seeing us like this. I continued to cry out loud as he rubbed my back. Just how much agony you made me go through my brother... "Sophie..." he whispered. I pulled away and smiled at him. He smiled back and spoke faintly. "You stopped paying visits so I thought I would wake up and ask." I laughed a little and replied. "You should have told me before. I would have done it earlier." We both laughed a little as he wiped my tears. "You always cried... Now I am awake, I won't let you cry.. not anymore.." He assured me and I smiled. I felt saf
"Easy.." I breathe out, standing on the bed while holding the bedpost, trying to stay composed and not freak out. Sweat rolled down from my forehead as I was panting heavily. "Watch it!" I shouted as Christian turned to look at my scared form and narrowed his eyes at me in annoyance. "It's just a lizard." He sighed. "You know me, damn it! I am scared of any kind of insect!" I whined. "It's a reptile." He corrected me. "I don't care what it is! Just kill it already!" I just woke up and saw a lizard on the ground and my terror took over as I screamed, waking him up. And now he is looking for the lizard as I was standing on the bed in dread. "You have such a castle-like mansion can't you watch it out from insects!" I complained. He spares a glance at me and said. "It's not my fault. And a lizard is a reptile." His stressed face turned into a wicked smirk as he said. "I'll catch it and throw it at you." My eyes widened in horror as I shook my head no. His smirk grew wider.
I was about to enter our room but took a step back, "Samuel killed the Lizard. Isn't he?" He laughed. "Yeah, don't worry." I took a deep breath. Christian opened his mouth but I glared at him to shut him up. He smiled sweetly as I understood he must be planning something. "Don't you dare..." I threatened him. "What? I didn't plan anything." He said innocently. I narrowed my eyes at him and laid on my side to fall into a deep slumber. After a few moments, I felt something on me. I thought it was Christian's hand but it wasn't. I gulped and put my hand over my arm. I felt it's something and I caught it. My heart skipped a beat because I am holding something. I turned on the lamp and saw a cockroach as I screamed from the bottom of my lungs and threw it away as I fell on the ground. "What happened?" Christian asked, waking up from slumber. "I-it was a-a" I shuddered. "Cockroach?" He smirked as I realized that wasn't moving and it's a fake one. Tears brimmed in my eyes as
The way my fingers intertwine with his is bliss. Like, I am made only for him and he for me and nothing in this world separates us. Being so close to each other that even if distance came between us our hearts will always be connected. Receiving that benediction of being with him, I stare at his beautiful face becoming more prepossessing under moonlight. I continued to watch him with yearning and began to say, "Christian, You filled my life with so much happiness. I feel blessed to have you by my side. If I have you I want nothing else, You are my strength which helped me to overcome every difficulty of my life. You are my hope of a better tomorrow. I feel like I can even walk on thorns because I know you are here to heal my scars. No matter how much I fa
"Sophie, We may have met in the most unexpected situation, starting our lives as nothing but some kind of toxic marriage but you know what? Our hearts were connected years ago and after so many tries to twist fate, my heart is still attracted to yours. I found myself being close to you and no matter how much I try to isolated myself from this passionate bond, In the end, I found myself worshiping this dusty tomb of ours as it become and eternal source of gratification to me and I am so happy to give me a chance to love because i was lost and you found me. Introduced me to the world I never thought existed for me and my heart finally accepted the fact; That’s what love is and my love is you. " I lifted my gaze and looked a
Once again, I am at my mother's place with no signs of Christian. Now where did he go this time? I sighed deeply and looked at Roger and Juliette playing with the kids and were so engrossed in it. Mother then came, she smiled and sat down. I thought it would be awkward for them to meet after all these years but it seems like everyone is on good terms now. They are quite friendly, I didn’t expect it. "By the way Sophie, Why are you so stressed?" Juliette asked tickling Aletha and earned a giggle from her and grinning. "Once again, Where is Christian?" I said putting my palm on my chin. Well, the advantage of coming here is that Mother takes care of the kid and I can finally have a peaceful sleep but it never lasts long as their hunger takes over. "Oh, Look, It s
After dinner I came to my room and saw two angels sleeping peacefully on the bed as there's no crib here. I cautiously set pillows on the corner so that they won't fall and shifted in a corner. I plopped on my elbows as I stared at their angelic form. I decided to call Christian but he didn't reply. Seems like he has slept or else it’s impossible for him to not pick up my call. I also fell asleep. *** It's been a few days and Christian didn't contact me. I puffed and was angry at him. No, it's an understatement; I was burning with wrath. I sat on the sofa angrily as my mother asked, "Hey, Why are you so angry?" "Where the hell is your nephew!? Can't he call me for once?! What kind of errand is that?" I yelled frustratedly.
"Oh, Come on, Tell me." I whined for I don't know what time but Christian kept smirking, irking me more. I pouted and closed my arms at my chest in annoyance because of his lack of response. I just woke up this morning, from the sweet sleep at night. Note the sarcasm. And when I was about to receive a lull, he came up with Mine, Christopher and Aletha bags saying we are going somewhere special and when I asked what about him, he just said that he has some errands and we are going somewhere. I never took care of one child and now I have two of them, so it's very difficult, but I am grateful that I have Christian and helpers of the house with me. But, at night, all of them are oblivious of the fact that we have kids at home. When one sleeps the other cries, leaving me with no time to have for myself and bestowed wit
1 Month Later:- I sat on the sofa and put my leg over the other in pride as I held my head high in pride. A smirk was formed on my lips as I kept looking at Christian who was trying so hard to change Christopher's diaper. A laugh escaped my lips as I mocked, "Too easy, isn't it?" He scoffed and said, "Chris, Don't move that much." "Watch it Aletha, how your father is trying that hard." I said to her, Christian kept trying but Christopher kept moving his legs, not letting him secure the diaper. When Christian finally thought he was successful in it, another laugh escaped my lips. "What now? Can't you see. I won." He said annoyed as I replied, "You are not supposed to make him wear it like this, it's inside out." His mouth gaped as he felt his hopes being crushed.
I went after him and called him, "Christian!" He stopped in his tracks and turned to me, he raised an eyebrow at me and hummed.He acts as if her death is meaningless, even in revenge. He seemed completely normal, not a single shred of remorse or happiness that he completed his goal."Don't you feel anything?" I asked hoping he'll show a single emotion but to no avail.I don't know what I am thinking is right or wrong but I definitely can't be happy over someone's death even if that person is that Bastard's daughter.A human life is precious and you can't bear any grudges to the dead. We both have to understand this."Tell me what you feel first." Christian said, turning to me. I gave him a sad
"Open them." He ordered in his deep commanding voice that finally made me bend my knees in defeat against the dominating presence before me. His grip tightened as I felt his nails digging into my skin as another moan escape my lips in pleasure because of these cherished sensations, "P-Please C-Christian.." I couldn't oppose the urge to have him anymore as I spread my legs apart a little. I swallowed hard and called him again, "Christian.." He again lifted his gaze. The way his gaze slowly made its way to me is causing a disruption in my mind. Wrecking a havoc of needs for him but I want to control myself. He then noticed that slight distress in me as his grip loosen. He leaned in close to my face as his
6 Months Later:- I walked down the stairs looking for Aletha and Christopher and saw them playing with their father. Aletha has learned to crawl but Christopher grew a tooth! She looked so cute when she crawled and he looked so adorable when he laughed. God, I love them so much!I just can't explain my happiness. They are my reason to live, all three of them. My light, my love, my heartbeat, my life. I saw them as a smile crept upon my lips when I saw Christian playing with them. He shot his head up and smiled, "Good Morning, Love." I smiled back as I yawned and sat beside him holding Aletha and kissing her forehead. "How did you sleep?" he asked. I put her down and then picked C
