[ 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
[ Daniel ]"Don't be sad, strawberry. I will try my best to visit you on Sunday if everything goes according to our plan hmm."I kissed her forehead, who was on the verge of crying again.I could still not believe how fast our equation took a three sixty turn.In the initial days of our marriage, she used to avoid facing me and now, she wasn't ready to let of go off me."There are three more days for Sunday to come.How am I going to survive here doing nothing and nobody from our house to give me a company. I can't even attend my classes.I feel trapped by all sides."She said resting her head on my shoulder as we took a brief walk around the house after the lunch."Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you that I succeeded in pulling some strings for your online classes with a forged medical report. Your English Essay Prof. is my high school friend's father. I asked him to keep it confidential that I want to keep you out of radar so the media and our business rivals won't get a whiff of your locatio
[ Daniel ]"Mr. Daniel, we heard from the internal sources of your family that you are preparing to divorce your wife after her scandalous picture with your college friend Nicholas MacKenzie came out in the media?" One of the reporters asked me.I balled my fists to control my temperament as my parents and our family attorney were also present beside me."Well, you all heard right about my son's divorce with Sophia Stone.We accepted that girl with our whole heart, gave her the title of our daughter in law and an equal status to her family but what she did to us, it pains me here."My Mom started her Oscar winning performance as she pointed her finger at her heart."Mrs. Ashton, we have a question from you as well,"A woman reporter asks my mother," Now we all know that Mr. Daniel is divorcing his allegedly cheating wife, when are we going to hear the wedding bells in the family again?"I knew this reporter. She's famous for her impartial journalism and I mentally thanked Josh for inviti
[ Aitana ]It had been eight hours since he left me to ponder over our new equation. I saw the news of his split with me running on almost every channel who spiced it up to roast their own profits.My life became a complete joke."Ma'am," Daisy's soft voice broke the chain of my disturbing thoughts. I looked away from the book I had been trying to read to finish my 19th century poetry assignment.The smell of hot chocolate had me smiling faintly after hours of anxiety eating me up from inside."Thanks, Daisy. I badly needed this hot treat to kill this headache." I brought it to my lips ,taking in a sip and devouring at it's taste as it curdled around my tongue."Ma'am, if you don't mind ,can I say something?" Daisy watched me with sympathy in her indigo blue eyes.I gave her a tight nod of my head.I tapped my fingers on the rim of the mug waiting for her to speak further.I was yet to trust her with my inner instincts."You shouldn't let these exaggerated news to play tricks with your
[ Sophia ]The dinner time was full of fun chats among I, Daniel and Daisy. She was hesitant at first to join us as Ashtons never treat their employees as equal, partially it's true in the case with Daniel's family but my husband was an exception. He treated them with respect."Daisy, the carrot pudding was amazing.I want you to join my kitchen team if once we'd be back to our house."Said Daniel to Daisy who was collecting the dishes,I insisted on helping her but she refused to take my help.I was still one of her masters.The woman, who was busy in her work, snapped up her head to look at Daniel with shock written all over her face."Si..Sir it's..it's a huge responsibility. I am just a country woman who cooks for her family and your kitchen is acquainted with the best cooks around the country."Daisy said once she was out of her shocking state.Daniel smiled on her statement."Daisy, your food is cooked with love and it makes it one of the most delicious food.I do not have professiona
