SOPHIA CASTILLO
I groaned silently as I woke up. I felt pain in my left arm and I knew it was because I slept on it. I set my foot on the tiled floor and yawned."I see you are awake."I froze when I heard Adrian's voice. I looked towards the direction his voice came from to see him all dressed up with his hands in his pants pocket."Good morning...sir," I greeted him, avoiding eye contact with him."Good morning? What is good about the morning? The fact that I have to wake up and see your face every day or the fact that we share the same room? Which is it, Sophia?" He asked.He was speaking calmly as always yet it made me nervous."Do you know what says the time?" He questioned and I looked around to room to find a wall clock or an alarm clock.He began to walk toward me and my chest heaved."I will tell you the time," he raised his hand to look at his wristwatch."It's fifteen minutes to ten," he said and I gasped.I couldn't believe I slept that long but I guessed it was because of the stress I went through yesterday."You must feel so comfortable sleeping on that couch, don't you?" He chided and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.Every step Adrian took toward me made my heart race faster than normal. I was nervous.I didn't want him close to me. I felt my eyes blur from tears that formed in them.My eyes locked with Adrian for the shortest seconds before I quickly looked away from fear."There she goes again, crying as always. Don't you get tired? Why do you keep doing this? It only makes me disgusted should In case you do not know that. It only makes me angry. I mean if you didn't want to marry me, you could have said so. I guess your sister has better conscience than you do because I mean, you are so good at the game," he snarled."That's not true," I said in a whisper."What did you say?" he asked me. He was now squatting in front of me."That's not true," I repeated myself and he clicked his tongue."Then what's the truth? I mean your father's company was at the edge of bankruptcy and to save his company, he came to my grandfather and in return, my grandfather offered to help him if one of his daughters got married to me. Now here is what I am saying, I am saying that what father would marry his daughter off without a reason? I mean I wouldn't do that to save my company, it's like selling my daughter in exchange for my company's growth, and for his daughter to agree, she also has a part to play," he expatiates.I clenched my fist. I had not noticed I was crying until a bead of tears touched my skin"You know nothing," I told him."Really? I know nothing? I mean why are you married to me? How old are you again? I mean if you didn't have a part in any of this, you wouldn't get married at this age. Your...""You don't know nothing!" I exclaimed in anger, cutting him off from saying any more words.I realized what I had just done as my little action had taken him by surprise. I ran into the bathroom, not wanting to same space as him.I began to cry out in there.I was tired of holding it, I was tired of acting strong when I am not. I was tired of being accused. From the moment he set his eyes on me, all he did was accuse me and call me names that I am not.After crying my heart out in the bathroom, I went back to the room to see that Adrian was gone and it made me feel at ease as I did not know how to face him not after raising my voice at him.I walked out of the room and down the stairs to go find something to eat. I didn't know anywhere in the mansion and so I didn't know where to go when I came down the stairs but luckily for me, a maid walks by."Good morning madam," she said to me and I smiled back at her."Good morning," I replied politely."Please where is the kitchen?" I asked."I will show you where the kitchen is, kindly follow me but first what do you need? I could get it for you," he suggested."Do not worry. I will get what I want by myself, you do not have to worry, and thank you," I said to her.She nodded her head. "Okay, ma'am. Kindly follow me," she said and I followed behind her.Just as I reached the entrance of the kitchen, I heard whispers but what caught my attention was my name."That's her name?" One of the maids said.I couldn't see their face as they were backing me."Yes. Sophia. You should have seen the way sir Adrian kept a distance between them. He wasn't happy at all," another maid said."What's worse is, I was passing by their room this morning and I heard voices. I wonder what could be going on," the maid sighs."I just feel for her. When I asked if I should call her for breakfast this morning, he said not to bother. He didn't seem to care. I mean he has always been cold to everyone but at least he should show mercy to the poor girl," the first maid who spoke said.The maid that directed me to the kitchen cleared her throat, getting their attention. They all turned to look at her and I did not miss the surprised expression on their face the moment they saw me.They quickly bowed their head and greeted me. "Good morning Madam," they said simultaneously.SOPHIA CASTILLOit has been over three since I was saved from the hands of Jessica. Adrian got discharged from the hospital two days ago and Jessica killed herself because she refused to be arrested and taken away.I thought I was going to lose Adrian. Thankfully the bullet missed his heart but it did break me when I thought he stopped breathing for a moment.Everything was going normal for us. I have been helping Adrian with his needs and also taking care of myself too because I was pregnant and I was battered all thanks to Jessica."Hey," I said to Adrian when I noticed that he was awake. I walked towards the bed to help him sit up as it seems that was what he wanted to do."You do not have to worry," he told me."No. Not at all. I have to. Here you go." I said as I helped him sit down."How are you feeling?" He asked me, resting his back on the headboard. "I'm doing good. Did you sleep well?" I asked, sitting down by his side on the bed. "I slept well." He smiled."Goodness, eve
JESSICA FRANCISCO It hurts. It hurts so much that I felt my cheek and stomach burn in pain and my head bang. It was all because of her and I am going to end her today. He wants her. No matter what I do he wants her. All he talks about is her. All he thinks about is her. She is all that he ever speaks of as if none else but her mattersNot only had he constantly reminded me that he married her, but he also won't stop to say that he loves her and no matter what she will be the one in his heart.He almost fought with someone because of her and he got drunk because of her. He has been out of character lately and it's all because of her. I will kill her, send her body to him and when he sees her dead body, maybe he'd come back to his senses and move on and by moving on, I mean with me.I will kill her today. There is no need to spare her life anymore. She needs to die because that's the okay way I can have Adrian. I reached the construction site where I had kept her. I came out of my c
ADRIAN CASTILLOI have sent thinking of how how to go about the thoughts I have in my mind. I have been restless.The same question kept ringing in my head. "Why does Jessica have so many of my pictures and is she truly aware of Sophia's whereabouts?"I wanted to speak to something about this but I do not trust anyone after all Sophia's life is at stake here. I needed to be logical with anything that I wanted to do for her safety.I decided to call Jessica and ask where she was. After two rings, she answered the call."Hey," I said as soon as the call went through."Hi." She replied. I suddenly do not know what to say anymore but I couldn't be speechless for long and so I let the words that were in my mouth roll out my tongue without thinking about it."Are you at home?" I asked."Yes. I am. Is there a problem?" She asked."No. Not at all. It's just I haven't seen you today. Did you go somewhere or you have been at home all day?" I asked, suddenly knowing what to say."Yes. I have be
SOPHIA CASTILLOJessica walked closer to me with a smile on her face and I knew there was something behind it but what I guessed is that she have something stupid to tell me or she wants me to spit on her face because I do not mind doing the latter."How have you been? Have you been enjoying the company of Carlos?" She asked.I glared at her. "Tell this stupid pig to stop molesting me and touching me inappropriately, at least you are paying him so he should use his senses!" I spat "Why would I? I paid him to kidnap you and everything he wants to do to you then he can. Why did you think that your complaining to me would make me do anything?" She clicked her tongue."I did not come here for that. I came here for another reason," she replied."At least have some shame and also I am pregnant and a married woman. Try to consider that it could be you too," I retorted.He placed her hand on the arms of the chair that I was tied to. "At least they let you pee, don't they? Do not let me give
ADRIAN CASTILLOIf someone told me that I would find myself in this situation three weeks ago, I would have denied. And if someone had told me that my wife would be kidnapped on her birthday then I would have protected her and made sure that she was safe and sound and by all time by her side.Three weeks since I last saw Sophia. Three weeks since last spoke to one another. Three weeks since k last saw her beautiful face. Three weeks since I wrapped my arm around her and three weeks of pain and anger.Whenever I thought we were almost close and I was going to get her, it doesn't happen. It hurts me so much that no matter how hard I try I just cannot sit down and not cry.It was the same story from every source. Was she dead? Why was she kidnapped? Everything was unclear and no matter how hard i thought about it, nothing at all. "Hey."I darted my eyes to see who it was. It was Jessica. She has been coming to check on me everyday and I was grateful for that. My grandfather has also bee
The lady who had ordered the kidnap of Sophia comes into the place where Sophia was with her face hidden.Sophia was yet to know the identity of the woman but she looked very familiar to her. She asked her the first time the woman revealed her identity to her why she took her but instead the woman asked them to tape her mouth and cover her eyes."What do you want from me? It's almost two weeks. Why don't you..." Sophia trailed when she felt her stomach ache.They've barely been feeding her and not only that, Carlos has been trying to molest her too. He hits her if she spits on him for touching her boobs and once he threatened to kick her belly until she loses weight baby."I want you out of the way." The lady replied."Your voice sounds familiar, why don't you just reveal your face so that I know you, and have I ever offended you before?" Sophia asked."You have offended me in so many ways, Sophia. A lot more ways than you have realized and I do not have any intention to return you,"
