Chapter 10

Saul was watching her retreating form from the window. The girl was a spitfire who made his hackles at the drop of the hat. Yet, she had something in her that often drew him towards her.

By the time Sophia reached the venue, Liam was already waiting for her at one of the tables. There were various stalls each hosting their specialty in wine along with some food stalls too. Apple cider was served as complimentary. 

A bright smile featured on him as soon as he saw Sophia. “Hello Sophia, I'm so glad you could finally make up to come here.” He bent a little and kissed her cheek giving a side hug.

    Chapter 11“When a girl says no, it's a no. You have to accept it and get out of her life.” Saul raised up his finger to Liam in a warning.Liam wet his lips with the tip of his tongue and menace ruling his eyes. “So you're the temporary husband of Sophia. Her dad told me about your contract marriage with her ”Saul chuckled loudly looking down at the pathetic state of Liam with his hands resting on his waist. “When I can make the contracts, I can destroy them too. So don’t call me temporary. Sophia stays mine as long as I want her to be. If I see you next time roaming around her, you will not see the next day’s sunrise.” Saul said in a browbeat to Liam and picked up Sophia.

    Chapter 12“Fuck” Saul groaned, wiping the juice that she threw on his face with his hand and pulled her to him holding her upper arm.Their chests collided with each other and he gave a perilous lopsided grin holding her eyes under his wicked gaze. “That's unforgivable. You have crossed all your limits. Now you will be punished for it.”Before she could realize, he was kissing her ferally sucking away the breath off her lungs. Sophia tried to push him away but he is a monster who wouldn't even budge though she used all her strength.His tongue rolled into her mouth and his hands went around her waist sweeping away her legs from the ground.

    Chapter 13The next day Saul and Sophia went to the house of the client.His dad’s words from their earlier conversation rang in his head when they were on their way. “You might be wondering why I'm sending you to a small ranch owner for a deal when we have a whole lot of employees to work for us. The place has got some of the best grapes which will turn out to be a fortune for us in future. Owner of the ranch is a difficult woman. That is where you come in. We have tried everything to get that piece of land. Money and pressure don't seem to have any effect. We have 3 weeks to get this parcel in escrow. If not, the deal falls apart before Christmas.”****Sophia looked at the empty large fiel

    Chapter 14“After thoughtful consideration and looking at the parameters of your land, I would like to offer you a fresh deal.” Saul wrote the price on a fresh piece of paper and gave it to Ms Smith.“Sell the ranch to us but keep the wineries with you since it is your hereditary. I can understand your sentiments. In this way you would keep the heritage which you had been carrying since ages. We would buy the wine from you and sell it in the market as a limited edition.” Saul declared.“I would like to have a moment with my daughter.” Ms Smith politely excused herself with Tiya to another room.“Have you seen him properly yet, mom? That man looks like a clever soap opera. I

Her eyes glowing at him in live embers. “So you did a background check upon me.”Saul maintained his silence, returning her gaze with nonchalance.She nodded to him, tightening her lips before she replied. “Well if you had not done it, that would have been an amazement for me. After living with you under the same roof for the last twenty days, at least this much I know about you. People of your category can't trust anyone. Actually you're paralyzed billionaire.” She spat the words with venom at him.Saul was out of his wits but she was no less and wouldn't allow him to talk. “Physical disability can be healed with medicin

There is no paparazzi attraction here.” The man spoke with a smile.Saul released his breath in relief. “Thank you for the information. You kept her engaged all this while before she reached the bed with someone in her inebriated mess. Hope this will take care of everything.” He placed a few dollar bills on the table.The bartender's face brightened looking at the bunch of notes Saul placed for him.“Come on Sophia, let us go home.” Saul reached her. But she stopped him once again with a finger on his lips. “Shh, didn’t I tell you, I am not coming with you. My friend Lia

Sophia understood when a person’s days turn wrong even the wolves in the forest will start counseling them on do’s and don'ts.“You thought you would go to that womanizer and I will keep my hands folded here like an impotent husband? Ms. Sophia Campbell, you might not be aware of the qualities of that pig, but I sure do and I will not see my wife turning a whore right before my eyes. He will eat you alive and then sell you to a brothel the next day to fill his pockets.”“About whom are you talking about?” Sophia asked him cluelessly in a fit of anger.“Your boyfriend, Liam.

    Chapter 18“It was not a mistake Liam, but a blunder. What you were about to do to me can be forgiven but not forgotten. Since you are my childhood friend, for the sake of our long friendship, I will pardon you.” Sophia would not have given Liam a second chance in a normal situation but she assumed herself in his shoes for a moment. If what he did was wrong going drunk then what she did to Saul by giving unwarranted information to the bartender was also wrong. However he forgave her and accepted her back.“We all make mistakes when we are not in our right state of mind. But I hope you will not repeat this mistake again in future.” She told him, taking a long deep breath to pacify her chaotic cells.“Regarding marriage, I can't develop any feelin

You are such an attractive man that anger doesn't last for long.”Saul got energized by her words like fuel into the machine. His fingers worked with spontaneity bringing them in and out of her. “I want more, I want you in me.” Sophia cried, going zealous.Saul gave a teasing snigger. “What happened to the shy, stereotyped girl with respect and manners? You seem to be so advanced.”“Walking on your footsteps, my dear husband, why should a girl feel shy before her man?

I thought you would challenge your problems rather than run away from them. You promised me Saul that you will give me replies to everything tonight.”Saul scoffed, turning back and looked at her tiredly. “Stop asking questions like a donkey in shrek. Okay I agree I'm not as strong as I project myself. Every person has his/her drawbacks. This is mine. I can't go on living my past for you because there is nothing interesting or memorable in it.”“Like a donkey in the shrek?” Her eyes dilated with his statement. Sophia was more than hurt. “I thought I cros

    Chapter 44“Have you ever experienced miracles in your life? What happens if Greg was all this while alive and stands before you one day in future?” Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Sophia stared at him like he had grown two heads on his neck and then all of a sudden burst out into huge chuckles. “I don't believe in miracles. They only happen in fairy tales.”“Maybe not.” Saul couldn't dare to look into her eyes.“Sometimes what you talk about is very cliche Mr Campbell. Don’t worry, you are the only man in my life.” Sophia took his thoughts lightly but Saul was serious. He pondered, even if he tells her he is Greg, she probably will not believe him.

    Chapter 43“Hmm, why do you think I do not know you? I know you more than you can imagine. It would be surprising but I fell in love with you and married you.” Saul came forward and held her face in his hands. “I don't do business with my family and I don't combine family and business. According to me every businessman should know where to draw that line. Otherwise you never know when the sword strikes and your head is in your hands.” His voice was in a tender susurrus which was surprising to Sophia’s ears. She had never heard Saul so caring and loving towards her.Saul wanted to take one step at a time to disclose the truth about him to her. In that way her mind will be prepared for everything. Secondly, after these three months of living with her under the same roof, one thing is clear to him. He

Now that I totally know about your past, I will wait for the day you accept me in your life.”“I am sorry. I couldn’t lock it in my mind because of the palpitation.” Sophia was happy with Saul’s decision to give their marriage a second chance. Maybe their wedding was not as bad as she thought.On the contrary everything in Saul’s mind was in chaos. A couple of hours later when the doctor came to check upon Sophia he told him about her memory loss. “Like you assumed Mr Campbell, the last few minutes of her memory before the attack are erased from

Immediately he pressed the bell and the nurse arrived. “My wife…she is not breathing.” He stammered getting panicky.The nurse checked the eyes of Sophia and ran out to call the doctor. The whole medical team arrived in a matter of seconds to Sophia’s room. “Sir, you please need to wait outside. We got to examine her.” One of the junior doctors told him.“But, she is my wife. I can stay with her, right?” Saul was out of his senses. He was insisting like a child.“Yes, we understand your worry. We will take care of her.” The physician understoo

And in case such a day arrives in his life he wanted to tell Sophia everything about him on his own instead of giving that chance to someone else. Word of truth should always be direct. He needs to tell something very convincing to Dori to keep her questions about him faded. “You can express your feelings to someone who has the capacity to understand you. Unfortunately my wife is an idiot whose brain stopped developing after she turned five.” Saul smacked his lips.Dori couldn’t control her chuckles for Saul’s description about Sophia. In the meantime the rescue team arrived. They put unconscious Sophia on a stretcher

    Chapter 39A big laughter erupted out of Saul with a hidden grief in his words. Women can cry and release their grief. But what about a man? He can neither cry nor stay emotionless because he is also born as a human. “I was just wondering at what juncture you will show your true colors. Frankly speaking, did you ever love me at any point during our last few months of marriage?”“There is no use of behaving with you civilly because you are my wife. That sort of love should be from both sides. But since the beginning of our marriage it has been only one sided.” Saul scoffed.“Ha ha, you must try to be a stand-up comedian because you joke like nobody can. Love was one sided between us? Actually you must say love is non-existent between us. A man wh

    Chapter 38For a few seconds Sophia did not understand what happened except Saul staring down at her angrily. Her mind felt blank and heart thudded loudly against her chest. Feet were rooted to the ground as she peered back at him in shock. Did he just slap her? No words were spoken between them and neither were they required. Everything was over between them.Sophia could recollect this was the second time he slapped her in the two months of wedding that they had. His hand works faster than his mind. She wasn’t his toy that he can play the way he wants. Sophia entered his life for a reason. If he can’t keep his promise of at least seeing her like a human, there is no point in her staying with him. Because before anything she is a woman with a lot of self esteem.
