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 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 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 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 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 48Their pet cat came and mewled at them licking its lips. Few steps ahead was a whole bottle of milk dropped to the floor. Sophia had a hearty laugh petting their pet and Saul mumbled something under his breath. “Sophia, if you don't change to something presentable within ten minutes, I'm going to come there and dress you with my own hands because I don't find any difference between you and that kitten. Both of you have the same level of mental maturity, intelligence, stubbornness and cribbing.”How dare he call her a kitten? She was hot under the collar. Sophia decided to leave no stone unturned to get under his skin. The present thing which he didn't have and needed badly was ‘time’. And she decides to make full use of the situation in pissing him off.
Chapter 49Saul laughed, throwing his arms around him as he pulled him close. “What in the hell are you doing here so late? I thought friends are like family and you would come to visit our Holiday Gala sooner.” Saul joked with Brandon.“I believe I was invited but sorry for coming late. I had last minute work come over in the office,” Brandon said and hugged him back.Sophia was observing both the friends from a distance. Saul spent way longer with Brandon than the other people. The man appeared to be special and somehow he looked familiar too to her though she was not able to recollect where she met him. Sophia met Saul only three months ago. Then how come his friend appears familiar to her?“Come let me introduce you to my wife.” Saul guided Brandon his way to Sophia. But the latter stopped him before he could take his steps forward.&nb
Chapter 50Saul did not reply to any questions of Sophia; he ignored her like she didn't even exist.Sophia and Brandon had been good friends when they studied together in London school of Business. She met him even before he met Brandon. Then why doesn’t she recognize him? The only reason for that could be the lost hair on his head and heavy black circles under his eyes because of cancer treatment that he took three years ago. Age had marked him even before he grew old. Saul though didn't wish any evil for Brandon he was happy in a small way that Sophia couldn't recognize him because of his changed appearance.Sophia kept waiting for Saul’s reply, the reply she couldn't ever have. The whole night she kept thinking why Saul wouldn't reply to her
Chapter 51Saul opened his eyes and could read it all. Her eyes were clear on him with contempt. “You're Greg. Saul Campbell is Greg Warner. Am I right? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? How did you get this new face? Didn't you die in the accident? How did you escape? You cheated on me. I am never going to forgive you.” There were so many questions from her like pouring rain. She hissed with air coming out from between her teeth in unlimited abhorrence and held her head in pain.“Sophia what happened to you? Is your head hurting? Should I call the doctor?” He asked her in haste, cradling her face in his hands no sooner he saw her painful features.“Shut up and get lost from here. You're a liar, a cheater and betrayer of love.&rdquo
Chapter 82“Greg Warner is still breathing. Why did you hide the truth from me?” Sophia held the collar of Saul transforming to a fire emitting virago. “Did you know he is alive even before our wedding?” Her eyes searched his orbs for answers and she got them clear and loud.“You're a liar, a betrayer and a disloyal partner. I hate you.” She screamed and turned around ready to pack her suitcase and walk out of the house.Only then Saul came back to the present. The awareness dawned on him like an ear tearing thunder. And then his mind started to function again. “Stop there.” He forced a laugh.“What are you doing? Are you going to pack your clothes and leav
Chapter 81“I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour sir. Mr Liam Colon escaped from the prison cell.” The officer informed Saul.“What? How could you be so negligent? My wife and I already told you how dangerous he could be. He almost raped her without a third person coming to know despite we having such a huge security. Shouldn't you be taking extra care in guarding such a malicious criminal?” The hitherto calm and happy emotions of Saul were replaced by a storm of annoyance.“I'm sorry sir. Mr Liam called for nature's call and went to the washroom. Close by we are having construction work going on using drilling machines. Because of the sound the jailer couldn't hear the breakage of the glass. When he didn’t see him come out of the wa
Chapter 80“We have received this information from a public telephone. I have no idea who called.” The officer walked to Saul, removed the handcuffs and nodded to him as a goodbye.Saul pressed the remote to lock the door and walked to Sophia for a hug. “Relax. We will soon find out who is the root cause of this issue.”Sophia took out her head from his chest and looked up at him. Saul can read her eyes even in his sedation. In the state of sobriety, she is an open book.Those pulchritudinous eyes were filled with desire. She needs him. So did he. But the issue in hand was of pivotal importance. Saul held her neck and pulled her face closer to him to capture her lips. The kiss screamed, desir
Chapter 79“What? How did he escape from the warehouse torture cell? How did the police get to know about all this and how did they enter my private area without my permission? And above all why am I getting to know all this now?” Saul asked Van, going utterly angered.“It is obvious, there is someone who knows about his whereabouts and informed the cops about him. This person also knows you will not allow him to live for long. To grant him life, I think he sent him to a prison cell.” Van stated diplomatically.“Who could know Liam’s whereabouts other than me and my security staff?”“Maybe we have a mole among the security guards themselves?” Van projected his po
Chapter 78“These stones are way back from 2017. How come you collected them from such a long time when you met me just six months ago?” She twirled the stone in her hand back and forth and looked at him for answers.For a couple seconds Saul was blank trying to fetch a suitable reply. And then his eyes twinkled like two eternity jewels dipped in snow. “Because I have the same hobby. We match in several ways that is why we are wife and husband with the best compatibility.”“Is it so?” Sophia went on her tippy toes and kissed his nose with mischief dancing in her almond shaped eyes that were a fire with passion. She bit her lip and her optics gradually brushed down reaching his lips.
Chapter 77“What?” Saul asked before he turned stunned and speechless.After hearing Liam the grip on his phone weakened and the instrument fell from his hands.“Psst, you are such an emotional crested cuckoo. Even after being in the mafia for so many years, you are so pussy whipped. You need to make your heart steel so that you don't get surprised when you hear news like this.” He twisted his lips in mockery. “Come on, sit here, you need to know more.” He tapped the place beside him for Saul.“You asshole, how dare you command my son?” Carson took a step forward gritting his teeth to beat him. But Saul stopped putting his hand forward as an indication. An unsaid conve
Chapter 76“I'm sorry Mr Campbell, you lost your baby in this mishap.” The physician confirmed after checking upon Sophia.“A baby?” Saul asked, holding the hand of Sophia for support. She was his strength in hard times despite lying unconsciously on the bed.“Don’t you know your wife was pregnant?” The doctor asked, giving her an injection.Saul had no words to say. His feet were about to give up as he took a chair and sat on it. “Mr Campbell, are you alright?” The doctor asked with concern as he saw Saul’s face turn colorless in a matter of a few seconds.He could only manage a nod as his speech
Chapter 75Few hours ago“I have a suspicion that Greg is not dead. Saul didn't indulge in giving me any information, but I got the clue from his conversation.” Lawrence spoke to Liam with a grimace.“Have you gone nuts or are you drunk?” How can Greg be alive? The truck driver gave us the proof of the accident. We saw him bleeding in the location. The doctors confirmed he is dead and we buried him with our own hands. How can there be a slip? That bastard is very clever. He was only trying to deviate you from the topic.” Liam spoke to Lawrence in irritation.“I don't think so, there is a missing piece in this jigsaw puzzle. I saw the truth in his eyes. He would have surely d
Chapter 74No sooner did she touch the bouquet, water sprinkled on her face with happy birthday music.“What the…” She looked around and there he was standing after coming out from behind the door. “Liam?” Sophia asked, surprised.“Happy Birthday dear friend. How are you?” He hugged her and kissed her cheek. Sophia went static with his touch. Liam didn't like it but he hid the pain behind a smile.“Sweet Jesus, I was so frightened when I saw nobody around. Where are the bodyguards? How did you come inside the house without any hindrance from the security? She spoke bewildered.“Ms Campbell, don't
