Chapter 48
Their 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 52The need to see her assets was all consuming. He wanted to run his mouth over and around them, to flick at them with his hot wet tongue. Saul could hear her almost whining with need. His hands started to slowly rub up the outside of her thighs.He pulled her quickly forward, closer to him, needing more relief on his cock as she gasped and moaned into his mouth. Slowly Saul’s hands moved, they lifted her up holding her on her waist and moving in symmetry to each other. He then brought his hands to the base of her t.shirt while reluctantly breaking off the kiss. They rested their foreheads together and he breathed. “I need this to come off and I want you to tell me it’s okay with your present physical condition.”His voice was almost un
Chapter 53“What happened?” Sophia asked, frightened. Saul knew something was wrong but he did not want to add stress to his wife. She just started recovering and the news could harm her health.Therefore, Saul forced a smile. “Haven't you ever heard of bursting crackers at midnight on New year?”Sophia looked at him surprisingly. “But…but that sound looked like a bomb blast.”“Are you in the mafia family, sweetheart? You are telling me like you are sure of everything.” Saul pulled the cheek of Sophia acting lighthearted. However Sophia was lucky in not knowing his heart was beating fast against its rib cage.
Chapter 54“I will…” Saul looked around for any CCTV and immediately walked out of the location. “He might have installed secret cameras in my house. I will use fake notes instead of original ones and place the money bag beside the Woodlands ice cream parlor. In the meantime you can arrange to take the CCTV footage and we can track the culprit.”Van Austin’s voice turned mighty cheerful after listening to Saul. “You're fantastic, sir. It is a very nice idea. If it is possible I request you to fly to a remote place and spend at least a week with your wife and family there. In the meantime we will take care of this menace and handover the criminal to you.”“The crime is committed by that bastard and you want me to act like
Chapter 55“Hello my princess, how are you? Did you forget daddy after marrying Saul? You talk to Dori more than me.” Lawrence complained in mock anger.Sophia giggled like a little girl. “Dori is my friend Daddy, I keep an eye on you through her.”“I am not a little boy that you have to keep an eye on me.” Lawrence defended himself.“I know you're not a little boy. But despite your age sometimes you behave immaturely by hiding your sickness from me. You should know I have got my ways and I keep every minute detail about you starting from what you ate for breakfast to the type of wine you had before dinner. And by the way you had Shiraz Blend 2 pegs instead of one yesterday
Chapter 56“I'm the staff of Holy city hospital but work for Mr…” He stopped abruptly looking at Saul’s eyes which were changing reels.“Never mind. You will get to know him when the time comes. I have many other patients to look after.” He handed him an envelope like it was the former’s death call and left the room before Saul could speak.A series of curses left his lips as he opened the envelope. “Do not play games with me. Because of you yesterday 10,000 innocent people lost their lives. If I start playing, you will be out of your game in no time. I have excelled in the sport you have just made an entry. I will give you one last chance. Tomorrow. 4pm at the same time. Instructions about the venue will rea
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
