28. A Break?
Sophia's POV
Char was sitting beside me rubbing my back to soothe the pain but it was hurting so much.
I don't know for how long I was sitting outside the emergency room with my head on my hands when I heard Nick's voice. I raised my head to see him speaking to Leo. He didn't look at me and seemed so lost. I knew he was worried sick about Ethan.
After a few more minutes Mama, Papa and Erica came. I told Mama and Papa about what I saw. Narrating the incident was so freaking painful that fresh tears started rolling down my cheeks. Caleb came and stood beside Nick but he didn't speak.
Even after an hour , Nick didn't speak and I was starting to get worried. He wasn't showing any emotion and that was scaring me. So I got up to talk to him.
" Nick." I called but he didn't respond and only clenched his jaw .
" Nick." I called again and put a hand on his shoulder . He rudely shoved away my hand.
" Nick , atleast talk to m

Nick's POV" Uhh I will leave ." Without even waiting for my reply , Sophia started walking off .Stop her , she is leaving. Stop her dammit !My subconscious yelled but being the perfect idiot I am , I kept shut and watched her leaving. I know I have to talk to her , apologize to her and I will do it as soon as I return. But for now, I have to stay with Ethan. He needs me more right now.........." Nick , go home. I will stay with Ethan." Mom said as she came and sat down beside me." No Mom, I'll stay." I argued. Honestly I didn't want to leave Ethan." Nick , you have been sitting here since morning. Your Dad is here with me and Ethan is fine now. Just go home and take some rest." Looking at her stern eyes , I knew I wasn't going to win this. So I gave her a hug and left the hospital.Now that I was heading to home, I couldn't help but get nervous. I had seen the look of pure hurt on her fa
The Arranged Bride 30. Scared?
Nick's POVI drove back to my house at full speed.To say I was pissed at her was an understatement, but why? I deserved it.I had hurt her, insulted her so many times and she forgave me. Now that she gives it back to me, I can't handle it . Why ? I deserved to be given a taste of the medicine that I had given her.I shouldn't have come back like that. I should have pleaded until she gave in. But she must have been extremely hurt to say those words. Was she that mad at me? Now I really didn't know if I should approach her or not.Everything was so perfect between us. I had beautiful mornings with us having breakfast together and peaceful nights with her sleeping in my arms. Why did I have to ruin every fucking thing?Ughh ! I pulled my hair in frustration....................Getting ready, I rushed to the hospital. On entering, my eyes fell first on Ethan who was leaning on the inclined
The Arranged Bride 31. I Missed You.
Sophia's POV" Sophia , I don't think this is right."" Char, not again. " I whined. Since the time I told her that I was moving back, she was trying to convince me otherwise. She dislikes Nick a lot since the first time I told her what he had done and his recent outburst had fetched him a higher position in her bad book. Ryan too isn't fond of him but doesn't express it too much." I am not sure about it." Char folded her arms across her chest . She was looking genuinely upset." But I am. I told you why he behaved like that at the hospital. He wasn't thinking. Besides , I hurt him as well . " I tried reasoning. Whenever I remember, what I had told him , I can't help but feel guilty." But what about the things he did before?"" Char , seriously ? That was in the past. I told you ,he had his reasons and he had apologized for that. " I had given her a brief about Clara and Nick's past." I don't k
The Arranged Bride 32. I Refuse!
Sophia's POV" Okay, it's fixed then. ." Char said." Yeah , be ready by 5. Bye , Char." Just as I put my phone down, Caleb came in." Where to ?" He put a hand around my shoulder." Movie." I got up from the sofa to make two cups of coffee. He always prefers the coffee I make , every time he comes." Is it today?" He trailed behind me." Yup." He was silent for some seconds before asking his next question." And Char's coming?" I smiled to myself. How I saw this coming!" Yup." I said popping the ‘p’.He was again quiet for a very long time before speaking again." Mind if I crash ?" He scratched the back of his neck. I suggestively wiggled my eyebrows to which he blushed." Is little Caleb blushing?" I teased while handing him the coffee mug." Shut up." He looked embarrassed." Aww , you look so cute ." I made a baby face at him ." Cute ? You're calling me
The Arranged Bride 33. I Can't.
Nick's POVI parked the car in front of our house. Looking at Sophia, I found her staring off into the space. Getting out of the car I came to her side. I opened the door for her and that's when she noticed that we were home.She looked at me blankly before placed her shaky legs out of the car . I instinctively placed a hand around her waist to steady her." Do you want me to carry you?" I questioned because I didn't want to upset her by doing something against her wish . She gently shook her head ." I'll walk ." Saying this she started taking small steps. I matched her pace , supporting her all the way to our room.Without saying anything, she went inside the bathroom . After a minute I heard the shower start.I stood there watching the closed bathroom door . There was an unknown uneasy feeling in my heart. It was like something heavy was placed on my chest but I couldn't trace it.I went to take a sh
The Arranged Bride 34. My Boys!
Sophia's POVI slightly groaned as the sun rays hit my eyes. I changed side and shut my eyes to get some more sleep . I reached out my arm to hug Nick only for my hand to fall on an empty bed. I opened one eye to see that he wasn't there. As if just on cue the door creaked open." Wakeup baby , I have brought you breakfast." I heard Nick's melodious voice. Though I'll never admit but I love it when he calls me baby." Not now , it's too early." I heard him chuckle at that. Why ? What's so funny?" It's ten already, sleepy-head." I immediately sprang up on the bed and looked at the clock to verify the time." Shit ! We're late." I looked at him with wide eyes ." You know I am the boss so ..." He trailed off." Shut up. Why didn't you wake me up?" I furrowed my eyebrows." I thought you needed some rest ." Just as he said those words , yesterday's events came crashing down in my mind. Everything played in my
The Arranged Bride 35. Promise?
"Our son may say otherwise. " She turned to look somewhere behind us." Ethan , come here baby , your Mumma is here." She cooed . I froze at my point. Looking at Nick , I found him mirroring my expression.Ethan was there, all along, listening to us!Shit!........................I turned back to see Ethan standing at the foot of the staircase. He was intently looking at Clara with furrowed eyebrows. He averted his gaze from her to look at Nick , then me and went back to look at her. There was pin drop silence as if everyone was contemplating Ethan's answer. Honestly I was scared that he may choose his biological mother over me. I knew I sounded insecure but I couldn't help it. I had come to love him so much that I couldn't think of him calling someone else Mom. I sure am possessive but that doesn't hurt right?" Ethan, see I have come , your mumma has come. Come an
The Arranged Bride 36. Gross!
Nick's POVIt's been a few weeks since Clara had paid us the visit. After that day Ethan was a bit skeptical. He never wanted Sophia to be out of his sight, thinking that she might just leave . Her assuring words could only provide momentary relief. He was even coming up to our room at the middle of the night to sleep with us.It took me and Sophia a lot of effort to make him believe that she was staying in his life. Can't say that we were completely successful.It has been a few days that he is not coming to sleep with us at midnight but is still not at ease fully. Sometimes it's frustrating to see how restless he gets when Sophia isn't at home for a few hours. All this was just because of that bloody gold-digger!This thing kept Sophia under stress. She was always thinking about him. In the last meeting she was too lost to even realize when she was called.It was Saturday morning and I was working on my laptop in the liv
