Christian POV:- That woman is driving me insane with her tears. “What does she want?” At first, she defended me in front of everyone, shocking me to no extent. I never thought that she'll choose me over her brother. Instead of taking her brother's side, she took mine. And after that, she became angry with me, which filled me with the guilt of breaking her heart again. Her words broke my heart and when I came to the room she suddenly asked for a divorce. “Just what the hell is wrong with her?!” And once again, lost in anger and the inner demon of mine, I scared her. I was trying so hard to remove those apprehensions and once again I evoked them. Once again, she was crawling beneath my feet like a vulnerable being. Just how much it shattered my heart. “Her place is not there.” I don't want her to be like that. I broke my promise, I doubt that she'll ever trust me again. She provoked me to become what I am not. I didn't mean to hurt her intentionally. Even if I don't
"Sophie, listen.," I called her. She was awestruck but hummed in response, "You.. are sold to me… " I said as her eyes widened when she looked at me in disbelief. She looked at me as if she didn't comprehend what I have said, "But.. the reason for me marrying you is..." I took a deep breath as she was lost in obscurity. "My mother... loved you a lot... She always wanted me to marry you. It was her dying wish that I marry you..." "That's all I can tell you... for now.." I said looking away. My words hit her like a truck as if she was being crushed by the weight of my words. "No... Christian.. Tell me everything. After telling me this, Don't leave me in that dark anymore." She said in a low voice as she held my shirt and I kept looking away. "I don't have enough courage.." I whisper. Her trembling form produces a vague sound. "Please.." She pleaded as I didn't meet her gaze. "Did he sell me?" She asked with hate as I gave her a nod. I heard her mumbling 'bastard' but she
Sophie POV:- I went to the kitchen and leaned on the counter and began to let out deep breaths to calm myself. “What the hell happened?” Amid heartbreaking truths and the labyrinth of the mystifying realities which never occurred to me; Another strangely beautiful emotion aroused in me which I am not ready to accept. “What.. was it?” What I learned today was too much for me to bear, that's why I also didn't push him to tell me everything. But I don’t understand why Mother didn’t tell me, she should have told me. That’s why she tried to convince me to marry Christian but why can’t she tell me bluntly about it? Is there something more unbearable? “Honestly, I don’t think anything would be more horror-stuck than being sold to some rich person without being aware of it.” I muttered, shivering by the thought. “And this guy has known me ever since the beginning while I know absolutely nothing about him.” I added, shaking my head. Just how complicated our relationship is?
It's been 3 days since Christian is at home. He can finally walk, "1.. 2.. 3 Go!" He shouted as we both started running; starting the race from the main Gate to the Entrance of the hall. He was exuberant because he can walk again. But in the race, I, of course, being faster wins the race. I began to cheer in joy. "Damn.. you're fast," he said. I put my hand on my waist proudly. "I know, turtle." "Well, don't forget about the race of the rabbit and the tortoise." He retorted. "I'm not like that rabbit." I sneered. We then began to laugh, "Tell him Samuel, who won?" I asked Samuel who is currently the judge to see who wins. "Of course, you, Ma'am." He smiled. I beamed showing my victory and then we began to laugh. Then, we went to have lunch, as we were eating, Christian asked, "Did you talk to Eugene?" "Nah, Leave him for a while." I replied casually. "Aren't you worried about his whereabouts?" "He is at our old home and currently looking for a job, let's see how lon
Mother stated to which I replied back quickly, "I forgive him, Mother, please... He can't be alone." I pleaded, remembering about that night. How badly it affected him only to hear I want to leave. "He? You are still thinking about him. What about you Sophie? He defiled you!" "He is repentant and I forgive him! I signed the contract, I have legally given him all my consent" I said, shutting my eyes. I know Christian is too shocked upon hearing my words but it's true. Whenever I look at him he is filled with penitence. It's been almost three months since that day. It's enough, I am the one who gave him this authority so why would I go against him? I don't want him to suffer anymore. “He neglected the basic demand of our contract. Intercourse, Mother. He doesn’t touch, maintains his distance.” I whispered, hoping she might listen but to no avail. "You are still not going with him. Accept her as your wife and love her, Christian. And you are free to take her with you." She
Christian POV:- After leaving Aunt's place. I went to Tyler. I am beyond angry, how could he tell her? He is the only one who knows about it. Why did he tell Aunt about it in the first place? “How could you do this to me, asshole?” I muttered. I have told him that me and Sophie are on good terms now then why? I cannot fathom. I grit my teeth in irk, my fury burning inside me. I can’t leave Sophie. Aunt can't take Sophie away from me. I need her presence. I need her smile. “I need her.” I don't know what I am feeling for her but she is mine and no one can take her away from me. I barged in his house as he was shocked to see me. I grabbed his collar and looked at him furiously. "Why the hell did you tell Aunt about that day!?" "Hey.. what are you talking about?" He asked, confused. "Only you knew about the night at the party, why in the bloody hell did you tell Aunt Skye about it?!" I hissed. "Let go, man! I didn't tell anyone anything." He said pushing me away, frownin
"Hmm. It's easy. Confess your love in front of everyone." He suggested the obvious. "As if I don't know that. I can't do it. Sophie doesn't love me, why would she? And maybe I do too. I have to do something that can convince Aunt." I said. "Don't say this. I think she loves you." He said. I let out an empty laugh upon hearing this. "I don't think so.." I said looking away. "You sure you don't want to love her?" He asked, eyeing me intensely. "I don't." I spoke firmly but he leaned in a little, "Really?" He asked me, giving me a mischievous look. "Yeah..." I said looking away, trying to deny what he is trying to force out. "Confirmed?" "Hmm." And he knew how to force answers out of one’s mouth. "Hmmmm?" "Okay, I do!" I confessed and he began to cheer. "The party is near!" He shouted. "Shut up!" I glared but he continued to cheer in blithe. After a few moments, he calmed down and asked, "By the way, If I didn't tell her, then who did? I haven’t met Aunt Amelia in a while
I walked towards her and looked her dead in the eyes. Those eyes that always lied to me but I believed in them. The one, from whom I left the world- even Sophie but she betrayed me. By looking at her all the agonizing pain inside me dwells up but I won’t tolerate it if she does anything to Sophie. "If you did anything to her. I'll show you your worst nightmare. I'll give you a life worse than death if a scratch appears on her delicate skin because of you.” I scowled, terrorizing her. “I will lose myself and the enmity between us will begin where a painful life lies ahead for you. So watching whatever you're gonna do might become a step towards hell." I threatened as she began to cry and left terrified. She knows that I am not lying. If she does anything, she'll pay. After she left Tyler trailed off, "Wow, man, You're just..." I smirked and also turned to leave, "By the way, what you said about your feelings for Sophie, was it true?" He was intrigued. A smile came to my li
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
