SOPHIA’S POV: I notice that in the middle of the night a phone call came and Alex leave the room to receive it. After a while he left the house. Where he is going right now? It is middle of night. Is it office work at this hour? It looks really strange but I don’t want to prey into his personal life much. And he always lock the office room at home. He even forbid everyone to enter that room. So there must be something important in there. After I lay on bed for the rest of the night. It is maybe almost five a.m when Alex came back home. Later that morning when I wake up and go downstairs I saw unfamiliar men. They all are big and looking strong. Who are they? I have never saw them before. I want to ask Alex but last night he came home late that is why i don’t want to wake him up now. I should make breakfast quickly. Aunt Susie is going back to father today. When i am making breakfast Alex came down. “Good morning Sophia” “Oh Hi good morning” “That’s some beautiful scents coming fr
ALEX'S POV: Though I told them that i will come tomorrow I can’t get of my mind that the fact is whoever beat them know Sophia. So i as Quietly as I can leave the house to handle this matter. After a while I reached at the second home. “Sir you are here at this hour?” Ronald says. It’s already middle of night but I can come to my house whenever I want. I saw Ronald drinking with some other men. “Where are those injured men?” I ask Ronald about them.“Oh t-thay are at *hic* third floor" He replied slurring a bit. Looks like he is drunk *sigh* I went to the third floor to see Louise coming out from the room. “How are they?” “They are fine..sleeping right now. But what I hear from them was whoever beat them they were a large group. And somehow they know all about us. Even that Ms. Sophia goes to university and which family she belongs. And they told them that they will soon come and kill everyone and destroy our business” Louise said in a serious tone.“They really have a guts to t
SOPHIA'S POV: What is she saying? I don’t want to cry here right now. “What are you doing with her Kathy?” Alex came behind me and said to Kathy. I can’t look up since tears are forming in my eyes. If i look up at Alex I will probably start crying . That’s why i keep looking down.“Oh hey Alex. Looks like you have been doing great. I am just here to meet your wife. She sure is a beauty.” Kathy said in a mocking tone. “if you are done then leave her. Sophia let’s go get some drink" Alex says and take my hand. Headed towards the table where different type of alcohol wine are set. “Are you okay? Don’t believe anything she says. Hey Sophia look up" Alex ask me still I couldn’t look up. Unexpectedly he cups my cheeks and make me look up .“Don’t believe anything she says. She is a liar and love to gossip. Let just enjoy the party okay?” Alex says smiling. I nod after hearing him.“Now smile. Smile suits you best” Alex said. I try to smile a little . I shouldn’t make a gloomy sad face
ALEX'S POV:I quickly went over to Sophia. I saw she is looking down and on the verge of tears. I am sure Kathy will talk nonsense about me or try to insult her. Since the day I broke of the engagement she is furious about it. She was so obsessed with me which i obviously didn’t like. I confront her when I go over them and bring back Sophia from her. She is looking down so I cup her cheeks to look her up . I ask her if she is okay or if Kathy told her something insulting. I know Kathy very well. But Sophia says they were just chatting. But I’m sure Kathy did say something insulting. I will ask her later at home. After comforting her for a while we take a seat and have our meal. After eating our dinner I offer Sophia for a drink. She choose red wine but I am not sure if she can handle it. But she insist that she can drink it. So i bring two red wine for us. I’m a heavy drinker so I don’t get drunk very easily. But after a minute when Sophia only finish taking two or three sip her face
SOPHIA’S POV: I saw Alex waking up. Oh god he's waking up. how I am gonna face him. I wish I could just dig a hole right now and go into it. I don't know what to say. should I great him first or should I apologise first.“G-good morning” I quickly greet him. My face is maybe still flustered. I should apologise for what happen yesterday. “Um..s-sorry for yesterday night...I forgot that I get quickly drunk on alcohol. Please forget everything!” I quickly says in a single breath and with close eyes. I can’t say that with making an eye contact with him. When I hear soft chuckling. “It is fine. I don’t mind. And why are you apologising in the first place? You are my wife so taking care of you..I don’t mind” He replied with a smile. Watching him smiling I feel butterflies in my stomach. So he don’t mind what happen yesterday? Really?“Are you feeling okay now?” Alex ask siting up.“Yes I’m fine” I replied still blushing a bit.“That’s great. Now get ready otherwise you will be late for u
ALEX'S POV: When I open my eyes I saw Sophia siting on bed already wake up. She looks so confused and flustered at the same time. Looks like she does not remember anything about last night . Then she notice me that I’m wake. When she saw me awake her face become more red. Don’t tell me that she is feeling shy. When I was about to say something she quickly say-“Good morning!” She greet me quickly and then stop. Looks like she want to say something more. And yes I was right. “Sorry for yesterday night!” She said in one breath while her face is full red. Why is she apologising? I kind of like what happen last night. I mean it was our first time though we did not finish it but still. I can still remember how soft her lips feel when we kissed. But she look so worried. She may be thinking that I’m probably mad.“It is fine. I don’t mind. And why are you apologising in the first place? You are my wife so taking care of you..I don’t mind” I try to reassure her. I also want to say I don’t
SOPHIA’S POV: When i saw the door was open I go close to the door. I don’t want to go in since Alex told me not to go in there. So i peek from the outside. A board came into my vision with several poster on it. Since I was A bit far away I couldn’t see what type of poster are they so I went in. It look like a normal office. There’s a desk and chair in the middle and some book shelf beside. There was also I strange looking box there. So i go close to the bird and start reading what is written there. When I finished reading I was surprised and at the same time horrified. There are different dates of murder , criminal’s name and even name of different gangs which i do not know. There were some people's post on the side as some of them marked with red pen. What is all this?! What it is doing here? Is Alex doing something bad job? These type of thoughts swirl around my mind as I back up a little. When i stumble with one of the shelf suddenly a door which looks like more of a secret room
ALEX'S POV:When i went back to home i didn’t saw Sophia waiting for me at the entrance. Maybe she is tired. So i headed towards the office. When i got close I can saw the door open. Why the door is open? I thought as I quickly run there. When i reach there I understand why the door is open. Sophia is looking at the hidden room which she some how open it with horrified face. Then she slowly look at me. I told her not to come in here but here she is now. Suddenly I start to feel angry at her. Why she didn’t listen to me.“What the heck are you doing here?!” I want to ask her with a calm voice but I just can’t. We had the biggest argument that night for the first time after our marriage. I quickly went back to our second home leaving Sophia behind. I need some time to cool down my head. I should inform this to sister. So i call her right away after reaching there“Are you busy?” I ask her.“Yes I am. But what’s wrong? Your voice is some how strange. Is everything all right?” She ask me
