[ Sophia ]I woke up from my slumber only to be caged under the heavy arms of my husband whose face was buried in my neck feeling like I was in a heavenly dream.My heart was pounding maniacally.I blinked my eyes several times to believe that it wasn't my dream.His handsome face was the first thing when I widely open my eyes as I turned in his arms.We were laying in each other's arms,tighter than a death grip.A silly smile latched on my lips like a teenager who has a crush on her young handsome teacher.He looked adorable,cute yet sexy with his dark hairlocks falling on his forehead and slightly open mouth.His small grown stubble gave him a devilishly handsome look.His eyes slowly opened and locked with mine while his hand which was resting on my stomach moved to my face.I felt a tingling sensation waved through my lazy morning body.I didn't wish to leave the warmness of his embrace to start the day but we knew that it was impossible, he had an empire to run and for that he must get
[ Sophia ]"Dad, how dare you touch my wife?"Daniel rushed to me whereas his voice resonated in the empty dining area. He crouched down to my level and gently helped me to get up."Ask your wife and her over."Edward sneered venomously."Are you okay?"He softly asked me but I had no heart to look at him.I felt humiliated more than the physical pain that shoots through my lower abdomen where I hit the edge of the table."Sophia?"He again called me softly but I adored the floor.I heard him sucking a deep breath."Sophia, look at me."I let the warm tears of humiliation roll uncontrollably from my eyes."You shouldn't be comforting her if you had learnt about her scandal behind your back."Edward spat bitterly, anger was radiating from his tone which made me flinch everytime he said something to me or I say insulted me .Daniel pulled me in his arms where I laid numb."Dad, you're crossing every line now and before I forget that you are my father, please leave us alone."Daniel's voice was
[ Sophia ]Evening rolled on but there was no sign of Daniel.I tried reaching him through phone but it directly went on voice-mail.I never felt like this before,defeated,hopeless and heart broken.I betrayed him in the worst way whreas he opened his life to me like an open book.My eyes gave up on tears as I stared at the front door of the house.I wanted to see him badly and beg for his forgiveness. This man infused his trust in me and what had I done in return?I gave the maids a day off as I wanted to be alone when he'd come back so we could talk without any interruption or spectators of our confrontation.Suddenly, the sound of a car entering in the premises of the house.My heart filled with hope.It should be Daniel at this hour. I stood up on my numb feet and ran upto the front door but all my excitement died down when I saw his parents entering in the house.They had worn an evil smirk on their faces.Clearly they won this game.Henry Ashton forced them to accept me as their son's wi
[ Daniel ]"Sir, sorry but you have to leave now as we are going to close in ten minutes."The manager of the bar came to inform me for the fifth time as gulped the third bottle of scotch.My body slowly begun to give up under the effect of neat alcohol but I wasn't ready to stop yet.The revelation about Nicholas and Sophia was too much to handle for me.I wasn't hurt that they had dated in their past as it wasn't my business but they didn't care to tell me when they met after a long time, it hurt me in the worst way.Sophia didn't trust me enough to share something she should tell me.I had supported her if she told me everything beforehand but when my father mocked my undying faith in Sophia as she herself confessed it.It was like a harsh slap on my face."Sir, please try to understand. We have already keep it open for you against the law but we can't compromise with our rules anymore."The manager reminded me again.I sighed having no other option but to return back home. I was a total
[ Sophia ]"Here take this, it will help with the headache."Mason's soft voice snapped me out of my silent sobbing.I couldn't believe what turn my life took in just a day.Last night I saw a new in my marriage,our blissful intimate moments and how he confessed that he wanted to spend his rest of life with me."I want to be alone."I said looking away from my best friend who had been waiting patiently on me since I knocked at his door having nowhere to go in a freezing night.I heard him sigh and next I felt the sofa deepened beside me and his strong arms pulled me on his chest.This was it.The last thread of my patience broke and I cried hysterically in his embrace."I can't live without him, Mason.Its not been even twenty four hours and I already missed him like my heartbeats stopped. I can not imagine living my rest of life without Daniel.I don't know when he sneaked his way into my heart but now I love him more than I ever loved someone."I poured out my growing feelings but the perso
[ Sophia ]"Daniel!"The name made me freeze. I couldn't gather up my courage to look at the entrance.I placed the mug on the kitchen counter as my hands were shaking in nervousness.What if it was my hallucination?"Where is Sophia?"I heard his voice.It's him!"Your parents have hurt her in the most derogatory way, Mr. Daniel.They forced her to sign the divorce papers,threw her out of her own house in the middle of the night."Mason's voice held anger but I felt bad the way he talked to Daniel,who wasn't at fault."I want to see her.Please let me see my wife."Daniel pleaded him gently.That's him, my husband who can never misbehave with anyone."She's inside the kitchen."Mason replied.My bones chilled as I heard deep footsteps coming in the kitchen's way and next I felt his hands wrapped around me from back,his face dug in the crook of my neck.Our bodies were so close to each other."I am sorry..."I heard his soft whisper hoarsely.I felt moisture on my cheek.Fuck! He was crying.My
[ Daniel ]I felt relived after having her back in my arms. I didn't know the true meaning of loving somesone so deeply but those few hours I spent in the fear of loosing her forever made me realise how passionately I fell for her."Where are we going exactly?"She poked my forearm with her finger while I kept driving Josh's car as our family was in a continuous surveillance by the media and my parents had no idea of my secret plan of shifting Sophia to a small cottage that my Grandpa built for my grandmother in the initial years of their marriage to spend some time away from the world,it was their secret abode where they made many good memories.It was my grandpa's idea to take Sophia there."Patience bears the sweetest fruit, strawberry."I smirked at her as I took the last turn in our way to the lakeside cottage."You're mean."She pouted looking absolutely adorable with her scowl.I laughed on her childish act and soon the cottage appeared in front of us. Thankfully, there were a few
[ Sophia ] Danial's soft breath on my neck sent jitters inside my tummy.It was a new feeling but very exciting. I had never been this close to any men before and now, the man whom I adored the most, did those magical things to me, it certainly stirred something inside me. His hands slowly slipped inside my sweater, his cold fingers played with my warm skin.It sent off a spark on my skin.He didn't go upward but teased my navel and area below my bra line.His lips peppered kisses on my face but avoided my lips which frustrated me as his lips got me addicted of their sweetness. "You're driving me crazy, strawberry specially your strawberry shampoo."He inhaled into my hairs. "Dan..Daniel.."I moaned his name as he sucked my earlobe. "I can never get enough of touching your Goddess like beauty."He praised me and it felt so good .It made me feel special for him. "Then touch me wherever you like."I blurted out loosing myself in pure bliss. His face shot up to look at me.Shock was clearl
