Playing Mrs. Beckett 007 - Is This Your Choice?
The next thing Sophie knew, they were on a trip to Long Island.It was summer, and the beach provided a perfect summer escapade. Sophie heard the name a lot, and had been curious for a long time. Finally, one more thing to cross from her to-do list in America.When they started driving, it was dark, so Adrian had insisted on Long Island. It was a short, an hour and a half drive. Perfect for this kind of impromptu trip. Sophie said nothing. She was just nodding, going along with it.The entire drive, Adrian had played a lot of music. Nostalgic ones, those that reminded them of simpler times.“Do you remember this, darling?” Adrian said, turning up the volume slightly. Just The Way You Are flowed out of the speaker, bringing along memories of their youth. This used to be their song, one of the tracks that Adrian added to their playlist. Because you’re amazing, Sophie, he had said.Sophie smiled, bobbing her head. She never knew how hard it actually was, trying to appear normal. Like the

Perhaps because of her tears, but Adrian finished work so much earlier than usual. He was home for lunch, taking Sophie to the cheap, vintage-themed diner they used to frequent back in their college days. They had a greasy burger with a side of fries, such a simple meal. The kind that they’d long outgrown. But Adrian didn’t complain.“This is my punishment. I still have one more day to go.”But Sophie knew. Tomorrow was Julia Hall’s birthday. Tenth of July with ruby for a birthstone. The final test Sophie had set for the renowned Nation’s Ideal Husband.“You better keep the promise, Adrian,” Sophie playfully warned. “I’ve made enough compromises for work. I’m not going to forgive anything else.”Sophie had managed to go back to her role. Right now, she was smiling, sprinkling believable awkwardness that occurred after a quarrel. Adrian smiled, pinching Sophie’s nose. A gesture she previously found cute, but now, it just left her feeling conflicted.It turned out affection could be sha

Early in the morning, Sophie woke up to yet another charade.When she opened her eyes, she couldn’t find Adrian. She found him in the kitchen, operating the coffee machine. It was what she got for their first wedding anniversary, back when Sophie said she wished to enjoy espresso anytime she wanted.Now, Adrian stood there, making two shots. Before, Adrian would have one shot and Sophie the other. Not today. What she saw was Adrian and Julia, sitting across from each other. Before them were a glass of espresso and Adrian’s special sandwich. He used to make it for Sophie back when they were still struggling students. A simple toast with a slice of ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and a special sauce that Adrian refused to disclose even today.Sophie exhaled. She never knew that even those memories were no longer theirs alone.Julia Hall sat there with comfortable ease, as if it was her own place. It didn’t help that Adrian was there, smiling with undeniable tenderness, like he was looking

Adrian fulfilled his promise. Just as the clock struck midnight, Sophie could hear the beeping of their door system. She swiftly assumed her usual role. The wife, who was always ready to welcome her husband back.“Adrian, you’re too much,” Sophie said with a pout. “Not a word, not even a text. Do I have to go through Mr. Abbott to get news on you from now on?”Usually, Adrian would coax her when he saw her pout. But now, he seemed a bit awkward.“Adrian? What? Did something happen?”Adrian was at a loss for words. But he didn’t need to say anything, because from behind him, a figure stepped out. Petite, precious, with a professional blazer and pencil skirt. Julia Hall.“Ms. Hall, you’re here,” Sophie said, not bothering to sound welcoming. She then turned to Adrian, her eyes demanding explanation.“It’s late. I promised you I’d come back tonight, but I can’t just let her come back alone. Her neighborhood…”He brought her here. Adrian Beckett had really brought Julia Hall to their pen

Their dinner ended on an unsatisfactory note.Adrian had to leave because of a work emergency. Sophie couldn’t even tell if it was real or not—if Adrian was just stealing fractions of time to be with Julia Hall.“I’ll make it up to you,” Adrian had said.But it had been two days, and Adrian was nowhere to be found.Let alone making it up to her, he hadn’t even had a meal at home since. For two days, Sophie slept by herself. This had happened before, back when Adrian was still establishing his company. Sophie had been understanding, so she tried to be now.But by the third morning, Sophie grew restless.Sophie really didn’t want to do this. Her role was a calm and understanding wife, not clingy and insecure. But whether it was insecurity or simple curiosity, she couldn’t help but call Adrian.No. This made sense. An understanding wife would want to know where her husband was after two days of not seeing him.One call. Two, then three. On the fourth call, Adrian’s phone was turned off a

Nation’s ideal husband. That was what people called Adrian Beckett—a title Sophie had helped him earn. A self-made man, building his kingdom within just one generation. Beckett Holdings went public after only three years, and on the announcement livestream, Adrian had turned to Sophie and proposed. The internet loved it. Proof that romance wasn’t dead, they said.What a performance they had put on. Both of them, it turned out.Their black Audi stopped in front of a high-end, fine dining restaurant. Adrian stepped outside, handed his keys to the valet driver.“Take care of her, alright?” he said to the driver, patting the roof of his car before walking over to the passenger door, opening it for Sophie. “After you, my lady.”Sophie giggled, then gave her hand away for Adrian to escort. Truly a picture of a perfect couple. They walked into the restaurant, letting the waiters guide them to their designated special rooftop seat. A pair of new-money, yet they moved in perfect harmony and u
