Sophia's POV

I felt cold water being splashed on me. 

I groaned and tried opening my eyes but couldn't. The last few days were were like a horrible nightmare. Sometimes, Christina even used to have one of the guys beat me until I was knocked out. I was always either in pain or was drowsy. 

Suddenly a hard kick was delivered to my stomach but still, I couldn't move. Every part of body was aching. I peeled open my eyes to look at Christina looking down at me. She crouched down in front of me and fisted my hair in her hands. Pulling it harshly , she made me face her.

" Aww , look how pretty you look. " She cooed at me mockingly and within a second her face turned angry with pure hatred in her eyes.

" You know I would have loved to do a bit more damage to your pretty face which snatched Nick away from me. But you know, nobody would like their whore look uglier than you already are." By the end of the statement she was maniacally

  • The Arranged Bride   Epilogue.

    Sophia's POV " But Mom-" " No buts. You will handover your phone to me. " Nick lazily walked out of his study when I was busy glaring at Ethan. Evelyn stood by my side angry at her brother. " What happened? Why made both of my girls so upset?" Nick came up and kissed my forehead . " Your son happened. Evie called me saying how he fought with a guy. " I was really exasperated at this. He was seventeen for God's sake and still gets into fights " And what's the reason for the fight?" Nick looked at Ethan for explanation. " I didn't fight , Dad. I just scared him away." He said in an offended voice. I saw Nick checking the smile that was threatening to fall on his face while I wanted nothing more than to beat his ass up. Suddenly Evie decided to speak up. " Dad, do you know what Ethan did? He scared Peter away . He threatened him to stay away from me and now he would never talk to me. " She ended wi

    Nick's POV" Only a little left and I will be done." I said the same line for the third time." Nick , you have said the same thing three times in the past few hours." Just what I was waiting for! Sophia crossed her arms against her chest and stood in front of me. I massaged my temple with my hands." I know baby, I know. But the pressure is a lot these days. Just another hour baby." I kept looking at the laptop screen. She was silent for a few seconds." I do not interest you any more , isn't it ?" I nodded absent-mindedly before her words registered in my mind . Furrowing my eyebrows at her absurd question, I looked up at her. She was actually standing there with a hurt expression." Why this sudden irrelevant question Sophia? " I was wondering if she was on her period. She normally doesn't get emotional so easily." Irrelevant!" She muttered under her breath and shook her head.As she turned to leave the room, I

  • The Arranged Bride   52. Really?

    Sophia's POV" Hey baby , did you have fun at Grandma's place?" I picked Ethan up and placed him on my hip. We had sent Ethan to Mama's house for a week because we needed time to prepare the surprise. Everyone knows about it already including Char and Ryan but they were supposed to stay shut. Papa dropped Ethan back ,the evening before his birthday." I did but where is the surprise?" He looked around to trace any clue of what we had prepared. I nervously glanced at Nick who reassuringly blinked at me." It's there. We will take you there." Taking a final glance at Nick , we started walking upstairs. We came in front of another room. Pushing open the door, we entered." This room looks so girly." Ethan scrunched up his nose in disgust to which Nick let out a small chuckle. He was babbling about how bad the room looked until he saw the surprise and went absolutely mute. I gestured the maid to leave the room who closed the door beh

    Sophia's POV"Nick, we don't have much time. It's just around the corner. We need to decide on the theme fast." I handed him the coffee mug and settled down beside him with the tab in my hand." We also need to choose the cake flavor. And the guest list remains to be finalized yet. We got so much to do." I huffed out . Nick put the mug down and moved closer to me. He took the tab away from my hand and kept it aside." Nick-"" Relax, I had already finalized the guest list and as for cake , it has to be chocolate flavoured, Ethan's favorite." I sighed and leaned on his chest only to sit up the next moment." Did you book the venue?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back to relax against him." I did."" And-" Nick cut me off." All settled. Now shut up and kiss me." I nodded in understanding." Okay th-" I cut myself off realising what he had said. I raised a brow at him." What ? I do deserve a

  • The Arranged Bride   50. Pea-Brained Pig!

    Sophia's POVWhen Nick left the room I couldn't comprehend why. I saw him settling in the car and driving off. I was always scared of having this talk with him, scared of being left alone. When Ethan had brought the topic up in the car, I could feel Nick's stare on me. I knew he had noticed me tense up.When he spoke about the baby , my immediate reaction had given away my uneasiness with the topic. I had to tell him about it . So I took a deep breath and decided to speak.I told him that I couldn't give Ethan what he wanted. There was a brief moment of silence between us before Nick asked if I can conceive or not. His tone seemed so distant and cold but there was a trace of vulnerability in it. I told him that I could but before I could elaborate, he walked away.At that moment I could feel my heart breaking. Did he discard me because I won't be able to carry a child. No , what am I even thinking? I know he would come back once

  • The Arranged Bride   49. Maybe.

    Nick's POV" How was your school, baby?" Sophia asked after kissing Ethan's forehead who was seated on Sophia's lap in the passenger seat. He cringed at the name "baby" but didn't bother protesting ,knowing that it never took him anywhere. We took an early off to pick Ethan up from his school." Boring ." I chuckled at the face he pulled off." And I hope you didn't fight with anyone?" It came out of Sophia's mouth as a question." Uh huh. " Ethan shook his head looking out of the window. We were having some small talks when all of a sudden, Ethan decided to speak." Can I ask something?" Ethan asked in general. He asks for permission only if he is really serious about something. Else he just puts forward his demand.
