[ Sophia ]The sourness didn't leave my head even after I apologized to Candance for a sin I never committed.She forgot everything after a while and we ended up spending a good time together.She promised me to visit again tomorrow and I am looking forward to it.It's better than to live alone in haunting silence.I yawned closing my laptop shut and glanced at the time,it showed seven in the evening ,the usual time I have my dinner but this isn't my house and I can't go and demand for food though I am sure Maya and others will serve me anything I wish but I couldn't gather myself to do it so I decidedly to wait for her call.Having nothing to do,I grabbed my phone and decide to call Mason to kill some time.Morever,I was missing him.Mr. Edward Ashton's behavior towards him was very rude and unwelcoming. I couldn't erase the sight out of my head when Edward coldly asked him to leave me alone.Mason left the party after some time.Contemplating for a long moment, I finally pressed his numbe
[ Sophia ]"From where are you coming, Sophia?"His voice was as calm as a frozen lake,pathetic example but he actually hid his emotions behind a plain monitone.I knew if I lie in that moment,it'd bring me nothing but another wave of embarrassment and a bunch of accusations hitting directly on my face so I must better tell him the truth.I nervously turned on my heels and mustered every single drop of courage I had in my body to look at him directly.He was standing at the foot of staircase still in his business suit but I could clearly observe eye bags and a good amount of exhaustion on his face."I..was..I..was at a friend's place."I tried my best not to fumble,it shows a person's weakness."Mason if I have to guess?""Yes but it's not like you're thinki-"I wanted to clarify my reasons but he showed his palm to me as a sign to pause.I bit on my bottom lip to surpress a groan to escape."I don't want any explanation on what you do in your personal life Sophia,it just you left without
Sophia ]The moment we stepped out of our car at the entrance of grand hotel,all the eyes shifted on the left side of me.It was our first public appearance after our recent marriage. The market of gossips would simmer up in the next morning.I sense how she stiffened beside me getting all the unwanted attention on her.I snaked my arm around.Her admirers couldn't be blamed,she looked elegantly beautiful in her midnight black dress which ended just below her knees and quarter half sleeves.My Mother would had a heart attack for sure as she was the first women in the family to break the tradition of wearing a fancy gown."Shhh calm down.You are safe here."I whispered in her ear,I could literally hear her heartbeats."Mr. Ashton it's our pleasure to have you and beautiful Mrs. Ashton."Luke,the hotel manager greeted us on the reception.I felt her stiffening again but I rubbed her waist to comfort her."I hope you've arranged everything the way I told you, Luke."I asked him in my profession
[ Sophia ]It had been a week since we came back from the dinner with Larson family.I heard from Candance that Ashton Corp. joined hands with the Larsons,a local company in Denmark to step their foot in a foreign country.I also heard from her that Edward wasn't happy with Daniel's stepping back from their initial offer though in a press release they stood together as one family. Speaking of Daniel,after our last encounter at my door step when he kissed me on forehead, he had been avoiding me or what I assumed as he started leaving early for the office and returns back late at night after I retire to my bed.We hardly saw each other in this week and somewhere in the farthest corner of my heart,it bothered me.Did he regret kissing me because I didn't find it inappropriate by any means.He kissed me out of gratitude or may be....he actually wanted to kiss me.I jerked my head to shake off his thoughts which had been conjuring me for last few days and try to concentrate on a piece of Old
[ Sophia ]The conversation with Aaron left a deep impact on my narrative of life.I made errors in my decisions.Daniel was right when he said, I had the chance to save us both but I chose to drown dragging him along.Aaron stayed for the dinner on my insistence.I enjoyed every single second of his company, with him I realised the true meaning of having a sibling.Living with Olivia wasn't no less than a torture itself.She missed no opportunity to show me how her parents were doing charity upon me by providing me the shelter of a family, a family I never wanted for myself.I waited for Daniel until the clock stuck eleven thirty.Being tired by an exciting day,I went to sleep hoping to see Daniel in the morning if he doesn't leave before sunrise.I set my alarm for five thirty in the morning.Someone had to break the ice and this time I was more guilty than him....or it had always been only me?I knew the answer.I woke up with the buzzing of my alarm and quickly got over with my morning j
[ Sophia ]To say, it wasn't an eventful day at the university as we walked together, hand in hand like a couple deep in love with each other,would be a plain lie.Daniel became the epicenter of attention of the female staff as well as the students in the university campus whereas I'd be found in the deepest of the crust by the intense burning glares aimed at me by those girls who passed by us.Daniel seemed least bothered by the activities around him but it threw total opposite effect upon me.It made me realise, how powerful, domineering and radiant personality he possess when it comes to show the world.He talked to the academic administration with elegance of a high rank man,which he is but I couldn't take my eyes off from him.He never for once tried to pull his strings which he could do easily rather than walking from one office to another to compelete the admission formalities even though the head of the admission department offered him to sit comfortably and let them finish the jo
[ Daniel ]To say I was pissed,was an understatement as I had a hard time dealing with the mole in my company who leaked a very confidential information but it was least of my concern.I was livid.Everything was sailing smoothly until her presence begun to bother me,I grew a habit to see her face first thing in the morning,her beautiful smile when she greet me and share her daily activities at university campus.It made me feel contended that she's getting what she always dreamt for.I saw how strong headed and determined she is.She often advised me when I share my business related issues though she had little knowledge of financial and statics of strategies but I like listening to her opinions after she helped me in seeing things from morality's vision.It has been a week since we spent a great time together in the diner when I shared a personal experience with her.She actually listened me attentively and asked personal questions. I had no words to describe how I felt in that moment.I
[ Sophia ]I flipped the pages of the books I was reading trying my level best to concentrate on the content but it was absurd because my mind was drifted to our conversation we had our way to university.We had our lunch together in his study room.He simply asked me to join him and I couldn't refuse him.I didn't figure out why but I do not feel alienated whenever he is around me because he never tried to invade my personal life in his own house.Honestly,I had not been this free spirited when I lived with James and Lily.They used to keep a tab on my activities outside the house .Our equation has been changing steadily.Surprising.. isn't it?But it's true.Well I was quite most of the time .He kept asking about my studies and advised me on certain topics on which I have a loose grip.His eyes were shining in the mid sun as he was driving himself.I found it weird but I couldn't interrogate him as our relation isn't even sprouting.He was speaking very softly to me.I wondered if someone
