[ Sophia ]My hunt for a perfect dress for my first date with Daniel ended on a champagne red mini dress which was too exposing in my opinion but an over excited Candance and Rose forced me to wear it,according to their theory Daniel would have a hard time to control himself from ripping it off from my body.It barely reached my mid thighs with single strap to hold it on my chest.It revealed little bit more of my cleavage.I always felt conscious of my breasts as Olivia remarked that they are too plain to catch a man's sight but I do not want men to ogle on my body except the one whom I love to happily give myself.Could it be Daniel?Their blunt remarks on my private life mushed my heart, I couldn't imagine myself doing the forbidden things with Daniel,who has every rights to do anything with me but I trusted him.He'd never cross our barriers without my permission.I left my soft curls open and complimented it with a set of thin pearl necklace and earrings.It screamed simplicity matche
[ Sophia ]I kept staring at him blankly, his words crippled my ability to process everything.Everything was happening in a blip,it felt like we were strangers avoiding each other as much as possible and now I want to be around him."Just look at your face ,Sophia. "I heard him laughing and it snapped me back in the moment.He was shaking his head while laughing his heart out.His changed behavior confused me."Wh..what do you mean?"I somehow asked."I was only joking but it evaporated all the colors from your face.Calm down Sophia and do not mind what I said."He blinked his eyes in reassurance but it had a reverse effect on me.I felt disappointed but why?Did I expect him to say those words to me?"We have reached at our destination,come on it's cold outside and I do not want you to fall sick."He tucked on my hand and led us inside the magnificent building from the private entry gates."Wow it's a beautiful place."I couldn't stop myself from admiring the interior of the hotel,if I wa
[ Daniel ]I tried to read the woman sitting opposite to me.I don't know from where she got the whiff of asking me a question I don't expect her to bring in light.It was something I really wanted to keep to myself ,except me,only Aaron knew which means he said something to her in my absence which made her ask me.Although she gave me the choice to avoid answering it but I wanted her to know me,real me so I could build a bridge to reach in her heart,to make a permanent place in her life.I feared her rejection.Because slowly but gradually I started falling for her."Leave it Daniel.I won't bother you again with this question, trust me."She said after a brief pause."I wanted to become a pianist,it was my dream since my childhood when I first heard a lady at a charity gala playing piano. I attended it with my grandmother. I lost myself in the melody she played that I didn't realise when I sat next to her and kept listening until she was done playing the note.I knew what gave me real ha
[ Sophia ]"He is coming here in five minutes."He thrusted his phone back in his phone's pocket and we again stood out of words staring at each other.I wasn't complaining but I liked when we talk because the silence and his intense stare were a deadly combination.Having no courage to bear his addictive presence,I turned to sit and wait for his friend to arrive."Sophia..."He called out my name and swirled me by grabbing my waist.I collided on his chest making my heartbeats to rocket up in the sky."Yes Daniel.."My voice ditched as our close proximity played havoc inside me.I placed my hands on his chest to support my jellied body to stand straight."May I kiss you?"He asked me.I felt butterflies erupting in my stomach and tingling sensation all over my body.He could have kissed me or had done more than that but he always respected our barriers.And it was the first time he wanted something very common for the other people but it was a huge step for us."Sorry I shouldn't ask you so
[ Sophia ]I did not dare to look back at one of my tormentors.And he turned out to be a friend with my husband.Telling him about Nick means breaking their friendship.They knew each other long before I entered in in Daniel's life which ruled out the possibilities of Nick having a secret agenda to torment me again."Sophia come here."Daniel called out my name leaving me with no option except to face my past.Slowly, I turned around only to come face to face with Nicholas aka Nick.My high school crush and the boy who conjured my confidence in my remaining at the school."Hello Mrs. Ashton it's nice to meet you, finally."Nicholas said in a very casual tone pretending to meet me for the very first time. He stretched out his hand for a shake.Audacity of this man!He has transformed into a fine young man with more muscles on his upper body and beard giving him a more mature look for a man in his late twenties."Likewise."I tried to keep my reply short while shaking his hand but what he di
[ Daniel ]Two days passed.My father left for a business trip to France for a week which gave me more time to work upon my plan to anul the agreement.Meanwhile,I and Sophia came closer than before,we often shared hugs and kisses on cheeks though I craved to taste her sweet lips again but it wasn't the wise choice,the kiss at the hotel was a result of the romantic environment.Sophia certainly gained the entire city's attention within a single night when paparazzi caught us in cameras when we were walking on the roadside.I hate being under the radar of media but this time they helped me to show a proper display of a normal marriage, in case my dad tried to frame it as a deal to daint my name as possible heir.I was reading a file of the ongoing project when my phone vibrated on the wooden table.I groaned in frustration.I hated those people who disturbed me during my working hours but I knew I could not ignore that one.I furiously swiped the green button putting the phone on speaker r
[ Sophia ]Two days passed since our date and encounter with Nicholas who didn't try to interfere in our lives means he actually left the country much to my temporary relief. Daniel got himself busy in his work but we somehow managed to steal some moments during the three meals and a good bye kiss from Daniel which I grew to get used to.Finally it's the Tuesday which slipped from my mind but when Daniel reminded me about it over the tea in the morning,my mood soured.I chose to stick to my words but the plans seemed to backfire on me.I video called Rose to help me in selecting the 'perfectly perfect dress' in Mrs. Ashton's opinion and the dress she recommended,it cost a fortune of 10,000 euros,a budget of a brand new car.It was a teal blue gown made with the finest silk and had a fishtail.I loved it but it was too much to wear on a simple lunch at Ashton's residence but the word 'simple' doesn't exist in the dictionary of Marriatte Ashton.I spent three hours to give Rose's team to do
[ Sophia ]I squirmed on my seat the vulture squad took me in by their preying gaze as we were sitting on a round table.I sipped the bitter liquid, the worst taste of wine they called expensive and rare aged for twenty years but I didn't show it on my face."So, my dear Sophia..."A blonde lady,with perfectly polished nails flaunting her big diamonds sitting on her fingers to scream how rich she was,broke the silence."Yes Mrs.."I trailed off not knowing her name or even surname."I am Ophelia Statanhall,the chairperson of Women's Welfare Club for last five years. You know I have been elected unanimously evertime as I work with my passion to lift up the lives of unprivileged women from the working class."She introduced herself with her designation.I couldn't miss the scowl on other women's face including Mrs. Ashton.Well it would be fun to fuel the fire in the spark."Oh really! Mrs. Statanhall,so it was you who campaigned last year in the Church to collect charity for the education o
