SOPHIA CASTILLO"Kiss me."I heard Adrian say and my heart skipped."Kiss me, Sophia," he repeated.My breath hitched in my throat. I was unable to think at that moment. I didn't know what to say to him or how to react to him."Why... Why should I kiss you and how is that going to prove otherwise?" I asked him, stuttering."If you indeed do not plan to seduce me, then kiss me without touching me," he said and groaned mentally.Adrian is insane! There are no two days about it. I wasn't going to kiss him because I knew he would only use that as a reason to accuse me. He knows just what he was doing."Can I go now, Adrian?" I asked, avoiding eye contact with him."Go where? Why are you leaving? You suddenly don't have balls or what?" He asked and I rolled my eyes mentally.I was too nervous having him this close beside Ms but at the same time, I didn't like the way he was talking to me."I do not need balls Adrian and I am not a man, so let me go," I told him, pushing him slowly away fro
SOPHIA CASTILLOI smiled all through the ride. I was happy that I would see my parents after a long time. It felt like decades since I have last seen them.I miss them so much. I never thought being away from them would hurt this much.The moment I stepped my feet into the mansion, I heaved a sigh of relief. I have been excited all through the ride that I couldn't contain my excitement.I was too eager to see my parents."Sophia."I heard my mother call the moment I entered the living room. She got up from her she was seated to meet me halfway and I rushed to meet her so that I could hug her.My mother gave me the best hug. "Mother," I called, heaving a sigh of relief now that I was in her arms.I have missed her so much. It felt as if she was the oxygen I needed to breathe. I have never thought I would be able to feel this much alive after I began to stay with Adrian."I've missed you so much Sophia," my mother said, hugging me tightly."I've missed you too mother," I cried into her
ADRIAN CASTILLO"Sir."I snapped back to reality when I heard my secretary, Melinda calling my name. I had zoned out when the thought of Sophia at her parent's place occupied my mind."What is it?" I asked her."You seem to not have heard me so I will be starting over today," she told me."Yes, go ahead," I said to her."The Mancini group of companies..."It's funny how Sophia has managed to occupy my thoughts every second without having to try. Not only do I feel the tension from this morning till now, but I have a boner.I have been trying to control myself but it seems she has invaded all parts of my body and was having control. I have never thought this much about anyone before and it annoyed me.Earlier this morning, I called Mathew to begin his investigation also do not forget to trail Sophia as she went to her parent's place.For some reason, I was hoping my grandfather is right and that I was wrong. Sophia was winning as she was getting in my head.I always knew women like her
ADRIAN CASTILLOI waited for Sophia to come back home but she never did.I didn't know why I cared when usually I do not care if she was around or sleeping but suddenly I wanted to see that she was home first and because of that I couldn't sleep Mathew was yet to inform me about anything and it was bothering me a lot."Sir, should we serve the food?" Sarah asked.I have been seated in the dining waiting for Sophia to come. I didn't have any intentions to eat today but since I couldn't sleep and I wanted to see her come in, I demanded that dinner be made."No," I replied her firmly."Sarah," I called after some minutes."Yes sir," she answered."Did Sophia by chance tell you when she will be coming?" I asked her, not wanting to sound concerned and I wasn't concerned."Sophia? She said she won't be returning to the mansion until tomorrow," Sarah informed me and I creased my brows.I had forgotten her little conversation with Sarah earlier today. She did mention staying with her parents
SOPHIA CASTILLOIt's been over two weeks since I came back from my parent's place and two more weeks until my cousin's wedding.The funny thing about it all is that Adrian has been different towards me. He has been nice and friendly to me and is always speaking to me in a friendly tone and trust me when I tell you it makes me nervous.I couldn't help but think there was an ulterior motive to his actions because he wasn't this nice to me before.It's as if he is trying to get to know me so that he could find more reasons to accuse me."Good morning," I yawned as I joined him at the dining table.He had someone go wake me up, surprising me as he has been the one waking me up for the past week."Good morning to you too," he replied.My eyes met with his for the shortest seconds and I felt my heart skip.He has been looking at me differently compared to the times he always had a cold look in his eyes."Come sit beside me," he said and my heart skipped again.I wasn't used to friendly Adri
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian asked me not to let you know he was around. How do you expect me to go against my boss I kept pinching you that day so you would stop talking but you didn't and kept talking," Sarah defended and I sighed?"Okay then. But I do not trust Adrian even if I want to," I told her."It's okay not to trust him but, surprisingly, he is different now compared to before," Sarah said, piquing my curiosity."What do you mean by that?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me."Adrian doesn't smile with another. Adrian isn't friendly. Adrian doesn't have or keep company. Adrian doesn't talk for too long and I do not know if you haven't noticed it but Adrian Castillo now is different from Adrian Castillo then. This Adrian isn't the same man you met when you first knew him and I am sure you have also noticed that. He doesn't speak harshly to you and it's been a long I saw you cry," she expatiates.She does have a point. Now that I thought of it, I haven't been in a bad mood for
SOPHIA CASTILLOI must be hearing wrongly. I definitely must be hearing wrongly.For the past week, Adrian has been surprising me with his attitude and now he was talking to me about freedom.Memories of when I first knew Adrian resurfaced in my head. It doesn't seem right. It suddenly felt as if the man in front of me wasn't Adrian and a different person entirely.It felt as if he had been switched and the man talking to me right now is someone else.That wasn't the only thing that surprised me but he was talking to me as if we have been friends for a very long time.Everything seemed different and I closed my eyes and opened them many times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.It felt too real to be true. Firstly, he volunteered to drive my shopping and now he was talking about my freedom.I opened my mouth to say something but closed them back.We arrived at the mall and I expected Adrian to drive back but instead, he told me to wait inside the car, he came down from the car, walked to
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian pulled back from the kiss and locked eyes with me. I shivered the moment our eyes met. Before I could comprehend anything, he claimed my lips once again and my eyes involuntarily closed as I held unto his shirt tightly, trying to control the rate at which my heart was beating.My knees became weak. My brain literally stopped functioning and I began to kiss him back or rather just copying his movement against my lips.I moaned into the kiss and snapped out of it when I realize what I had done. I pulled back from Adrian, leaving a little space between us as I tried to comprehend all that had just happened.I was supposed to try my dress and leave but I ended up kissing Adrian or rather he kissed me and I kissed back.I heard Adrian clear his throat. "There dress looks nice on you," he said but the awkward tension between us was present.I said nothing to him in return and made an attempt to take off my dress. My heart was beating fast in my chest as I struggled
