เข้าสู่ระบบCHAPTER 18Sophia's heart skipped a beat. Chris got off her almost immediately, acting as though her touch burned him. The two didn't exchange eye contact with one another. “You can take the bed,” Chris told her, picking a pillow from the bed. “I'd take the couch.”Sophia almost argued. The bed was big enough for the both of them, but after what happened, she wasn't sure if she could handle being near him for the time being.So, she simply nodded her head. “Okay.”Chris went across the room, taking an extra duvet from the closet before setting up the couch. The couch was big, but Chris was a huge man, and she couldn't help but worry that he might find it uncomfortable. “Is something wrong?” His voice broke through her thoughts. She flinched, blinking rapidly before shaking her head sideways. “T— there's nothing wrong,” she replied.“Turn off the lamp then.”“Oh,” she let out and turned it off.She had been so caught in her thoughts that she forgot to turn off the lamp. The moonligh
CHAPTER 17The wedding was over. Everyone was gone. The venue was empty at this point, but it still lingered in Sophia's mind. She pondered over it, and her mind became a wreck. She was married. She was officially Mrs Sophia Davis White.Her mother-in-law walked up to her. “There's my daughter-in-law,” she beamed. She engulfed Sophia in a tight hug, which almost felt soul-crushing.“You're really glowing. I'm so happy that you're a part of our family,” she gushed, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. “But don't forget that being a White comes with a lot of responsibilities. So, you have a reputation to uphold now.”Sophia's stomach tightened at the words. It replayed in her head and that was when reality started to set in. She was married to one of the wealthiest families in the city. The spotlight was on her.“Mom, give her a break,” Chris intervened.She just smiled softly. “Thank you, Mrs White.”They walked out of there with Chris holding her hand. He led her to the car and
CHAPTER 16Chris stepped away from Sophia, making sure to maintain a rage sustained from her. His legs picked up the pace, racing to catch up with Mia who had already left the room.He found her in his room. She sat on the bed, her gaze fixed on the fall. She looked calm. Too calm that it almost frightened him. He had never known Mia to be this calm.She was usually the type who didn't hesitate to throw a tantrum, and voice out her opinions. She was never one to hold back.He stepped forward, slow and deliberate. He looked at her, his eyes searching hers. Like he was looking for something—any fragment or tinge of emotion in her eyes. But she remained stone cold.“Baby,” he started, his voice low and shaky. “You misunderstood the situation. She was crying and I felt bad for her. I was only close to her because I wanted to wipe off her tears. Please, believe me.”He sounded desperate. But he didn't care at that moment. He couldn't fathom ever losing Mia. She slowly tilted her head, a s
CHAPTER 15Sophia clutched to her thighs, different thoughts raced across her mind. She had been locked in her room for the past forty eight hours, after she had supposedly hurt Mia. She scoffed at her thoughts. She hasn't expected Chris to take her side, but she sure damn well didn't expect Mia to stoop so low. She decided to stay clear of Mia, until she delivered the baby at least.A faint sound of wedding preparation was heard downstairs. She had dreamed about having a wedding, not like this one. Getting married to someone who hated her guts so much. She could refuse, but she didn't want her child to grow up without a father.But she didn't even want to be involved. She just wanted to get this over with and was glad that she was locked up here, rather than being forced to partake. The only people she got to see were the maids who came to serve her meal. She had to create some flimsy excuse to stop Kira from visiting. She knew she'd throw a tantrum if she found out about this and
CHAPTER 14I quivered under her scrutinizing gaze, and my lips trembled in fear. She looked at me, a smirk at the corner of her lips and she stood there—Confident and elegant.She finally took a step, her eyes studying one closely. The way she looked at me had me squirming, I wanted thr ground to open up so bad and disappear right under. It became hard to breathe and I felt a lump in my throat.She spoke finally. “So this us the good digger Chris knockEd up,” she insulted, not masking the disdain in her voice.She snorted. “Aren't you such a darling, huh?” She folded her arms against her chest. “Going around. Seducing people's boyfriend. For money? Is that what you want?”Her voice was edged with sharpness. It made me feel so little despite the fact that we were probably the same height, Or maybe it was the heels that had her towering over me.I wanted to speak, but it felt like I had lost my voice at that moment. She glared at me. Her eyes stared icily into mine. They held so much ra
CHAPTER 13Sophia’s jaw hangs open, stares at Chris in disbelief. “W—What the hell are you talking about?” She said, using laughter to mask her disbelief.“You wouldn't want us to get married. I mean, I know your parents want us too but you have a girlfriend already. I don't think we should rush into such a decision.”She waited to hear his response, but there was nothing but silence that filled the atmosphere. He remained unmoved, his expression stern and unfazed. She realized quickly by the look on his face that he meant everything he had just said.“What….what about your girlfriend?” She asked. “She'd kill me if she discovered this. I don't think we should—”“Dont worry about my girlfriend,” he cuts In abruptly. “All you should be concerned about is the wedding preparations. My parents wanted it in a grand style but I managed to convince them to throw a modest one. The wedding is in three days. You'd be moving to my apartment tomorrow. I'd have some people help you move in, So don'
CHAPTER 11Sophia felt her heart slamming in her ribs, as she fiddled her fingers. The silence stretched through the room and for a few minutes, none of them said a word to each other. She didn't fail to notice the frustration clearly written on his face. The way his jaw clenched, and despite the
CHAPTER 9Sophia was happy that no one in the company knew about her little night stand with the CEO. She didn't even want to show up to work, but Kira convinced me too. She kept talking about how she shouldn't be bothered by it and everyone has sex. It was just some liberal feminism stuff, she cou
CHAPTER 8Sophia couldn't forget the look on Chris’ face after his parents mentioned that they'd have to get married. She didn't want to get married to him, but if that's what it took to have him present in their baby's life then she was willing to comply. Kiran messaged her arms gently. “You don'
