Chapter 29
“You are gin-soaked, far away to note what dirty things he was doing to you.” He growled in anger.
The club manager immediately rushed to the spot. “What's happening here?”
“I was casually dancing with her and this guy hit me for no reason.” The flirt complained before wiping the blood which dropped from his nostrils.
“If you're so possessive about your girlfriend and no man shouldn't dance near her, you shouldn't bring her to the club.” He accused Saul and the buzz started between the crowd.
“It's far away from going close to her. You were about to touch her breasts when I pulled you away. Do
Chapter 30Though she tried hard Sophia could not get any information on what happened the night she got drunk. Saul wouldn't even leave her a clue. Tired, she quit the matter.Two days laterSaul was waiting for Sophia in their usual place. “I am sorry for coming late, I couldn't finish the assignment yesterday because I was having a headache, so I had to complete it today in the college for the submission.” Sophia ran to him and spoke breathlessly.“Is it still painful?” Saul ignored everything that she spoke previously and asked, pointing to her head with concern.Sophia shook her head, extending her lips. “Not a
Chapter 31“What are you saying? I'm just a normal guy who could get into the London school of Business purely through his grades.” In a way Saul was right. His father did not use his reputation to get him a seat in the famous institution. He got it solely by proving his merit.Sophia waved it away. “I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously?”She looked around. “So is this a surprise that I was waiting to know? I hope the owner of this house is not a female that I have to start bothering.” She asked him with questioning eyes.Saul raised his hands in surrender and lied. “No you don't have to worry. He is my dear friend from school days.”
Chapter 32In a way Saul was right about Sophia’s father. Since the beginning he did not have good vibes about Lawrence. “Sophia, I have investigated your boyfriend. Are you in your senses to think of marrying that beggar from the streets? You must always remember you are the sole heir of Holiday Wines, the most famous company all over northern America. Greg neither holds the status to which we belong nor will he be able to breathe in this high class society. You put a dog on a throne and ask him to rule the kingdom, he will piss on it and run away because he doesn’t realize the importance of kingship.”“Dad!” Sophia called him with alarm but Lawrence continued being the nonsensitive man he has always been.His father is an ordinary wine d
Chapter 33Few hours laterSaul got dejected after he saw Sophia reject his proposal. Was that all only an act to get good grades? He never expected her to fall so low. Saul felt extremely low and thought he had nothing left in life to live. That night he took drinks one after the other without a calculation. His feet became wobbly and mind hazy. It was late in the night and he started to walk back to his room alone in the lonely street.Saul did not want Hendrix and his security to be around him. Sophia had already seen him in the club that night. But thankfully she doesn't remember anything because she was drunk. He wanted to explain to her everything about him clearly before questions corner her mind.Despi
Chapter 34One became two and two became three. Repeated surgeries were performed on Saul to give him a comely, scarless face. Saul had to stay in the hospital for six long months with a bandage on his face. It was nothing less than a hell for him. Finally it was the time to open the bandage and Scarlet was extremely worried about his reaction to the new look. Just as she imagined, Saul yelled looking at himself in the mirror.Scarlet tried to pacify him. “It's okay son, God has been kind to us and you have recovered fully. Be happy for the new life you got.” She tried to boost his morale.“You think I should be a happy mom? Death is preferable to me than acquaint myself with this unknown guy who is staring at me through this mirror.” He took the wate
Chapter 35The next day Sophia opened her eyes feeling refreshed. She has no idea why but after a long while she had a sound sleep. That night she felt like Greg was right beside her. Yes, she knew it was only a dream. But even if it was only a dream a part of her did not want it to end. She wanted to dwell in that wonderland for a very long time.She looked beside involuntarily and saw the bedspread had crumbled. Was someone sleeping beside her all night whom she assumed as Greg in her sleep? Alarm struck in her mind like a current shock. She ran to the door and checked it and the door was the same like she had locked the previous night. The windows were closed with drapes covering them like the night before. What a strange dream that felt like it was so real. She huffed out and went to the washroom to do her routine.
Chapter 36The next day…“We are leaving for New York tomorrow. By the way, I told the Smiths, I am married to you and stopped Tiya’s advances. They were disappointed a lot. But who cares. I tried to resist her politely but she wouldn't agree.” He shrugged.He wasn't that tasteful, edifying treat she always saw him as and he wasn’t the immortalizing nectar she wished to taste in her dreams about him. On the contrary an angry Saul, she had learnt, over a period was a scary, unpalatable one.“Pack your bags and don't make any delay. The chopper is arranged at 6 in the morning.” Saul informed Sophia before going to his home office that night.
Chapter 37Saul circled his arm around Sophia’s waist and pulled her to him. A soft sigh left out of her as she felt his heart beat against her back. That night Sophia went to sleep with a thought that maybe she could give a chance to the man sleeping next to her. Maybe Saul wasn’t as bad as she thought. He had settled all her company’s dues and helped her re-establish his firm. Probably he started developing real feelings for her because of which he annulled their wedding agreement.Both of them had a wonderful sleep. But the next day they couldn't catch the early morning flight like planned. “The sky is still very cloudy and the weather department reports a heavy storm in the next 24 hours. Why take risks? Life is precious and I realized it more than anyone can a few years ago.” Saul felt l
Chapter 46A spark ignited in her as his tongue walloped into her mouth like a wave of ambrosia. The soft caress gave way to something deeper, more urgent and luscious in her. “If this is a warning, I am into it because there is no thrill in the game, there is no danger. Anyways, stop representing yourself as a demon because you are completely contrary…. very careful and gentle in making love to me.”Sophia could feel wetness between her legs. He is everything that she aspired to in her man. It has been so long since she experienced something like this which is so intense, efficacious and powerful.“Your lips….I love them.” He whispered between their cogent canoodles.Sophia giggl
Chapter 47Sophia giggled and pulled his face to her lips before she kissed him. “I have forgiven you long ago. 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? Anyways I learnt the best enjoyment in sex happens when you push all your reservations to th
Chapter 45Saul was about to leave the bedroom like always without replying but Sophia’s words stopped him. “Running away from the past doesn't classify you as a strong person. 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
Chapter 42He observed the blood pressure of Sophia slowly rising and promptly changed the topic forcing a smile. “I confessed the truth that we are made for each other and I love you. 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
Chapter 41Saul felt Sophia’s body unmoving. He couldn't feel the beat of her heart and his pulse escalated. 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
Chapter 40“Why don't you tell her that you love her?” Dori asked Saul curiously.Dori was on the verge of recognizing him. 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
