[ Sophia ]I thanked all the Gods known by the human kind as soon as I returned home in a single piece.It was already five in the evening when the vulture squad released me from their captivity.Seeing, the spot of Daniel's car vacant I immediately knew that he wasn't at home.I sighed and again prayed greedily to the Gods that when Marriatte comes,Daniel would be at home."How did it go Madam?"Maya asked whom I found dotting on the doorstep."Unbelievable,I will fill you in tomorrow at tea if Mrs. Ashton spare us some privacy."I grinned ear to ear while recalling the dramatic event of the day."She isn't an early riser so don't worry about her to interrupt us at our tea time."Maya followed me to my room while taking my coat and purse."Did you shift my stuffs in Daniel's room?"I asked her to confirm so I could lock my room until Marriatte will stay."I guess whatever you asked me to shift in Mr. Ashton's room."She answered.I threw the heels in a corner of my room and immediately felt

[ Sophia ]Its been two days since Mrs. Marriatte came to live with us and nothing particular had changed,I mean she mostly spent her day out with her friends at some social events,can't help wondering but her normal behaviour except some occasional snarky remarkes whenever Daniel wasn't around but nothing that could effect me.Speaking of Daniel,he totally became a mother hen.He never left my side, mostly handling his work from home.He went to office only when an important meeting required his presence which he tried to schedule in his mother's absence at the home.Today when I woke up,I missed the heat of his embrace which I had been enjoying.It wasn't intimate but it gave a strange kind of warmth.I ended up crossing my barrier every night.A frown etched on my lips as I found the room empty,the coldness in the room was the proof that he was long gone.I quickly got out of the bed and showered to start my day earlier than usual.Its only 7:30 in the morning means he left without havi

[ Daniel ]I felt on cloud nine after the most amazing breakfast surprise with Sophia at my office.She was trying to take initiative in our marriage which raised my hope for a happy ever after with her.I tried to wrap the meeting with the stubborn head Mr. Chang in next three hours. The man asked for a week's time to finalise the last remaining details of our business agreement and for that he must return to his country and discuss it with the CEO of their company.Having nothing in particular to do,I decided to check upon her if she's free so I could take her out for a light lunch and then perhaps take her to a carnival.I picked my phone to call her when my phone screen flashed with a private number.Very few people had access to my personal number means the caller was an important person so I,without any doubt answered it."Daniel Ashton..."I introduced myself in my cold professional tone."Hello my dear Daniel.I am Ophelia Statanhall."Came the very sophisticated yet warm voice of

[ Sophia ] "I told you that it won't be a problem to convince our people. We were never given such respect before though we supply our products to all the rich households in the city.We were only paid that too without any gratitude while we try our best to give the most healthy and organic agricultural products."Lily said,I couldn't miss the sadness looming on her red face. "But it's going to change very soon, Lily.We want to introduce you and your hard work to keep this city healthy with your food and this time the whole country will recognise this village and the hardworking farmers.Sophia convinced the members of the welfare club to give the catering service to local cuisine makers so everyone can have real taste outside the lavish meals cooked by the renowned chefs."Daniel said while giving a soft peck on my knuckle,I knew it was for the sake maintaining our lovely couple's image in the public yet it created butterflies in my stomach. "It's great to hear Mr. Ashton.At least ,peo

[ Sophia ]"These potatoes are very expensive and rich in nutrients,I know you must be wondering that I called potatoes a healthy vegetable when today's fitness obsessed people loathe potatoes but it's true,this specie of potatoes are grown in a few countries and our village and other villages in this belt grow it."Lily filled me with information about many vegetables and fruits but I couldn't focus on anything as my mind kept drifting back to our last night's confession.Finally, we had traveled a step ahead from friendship.Daniel told me that he liked me.Daniel Ashton liked me.We kissed like there's no tomorrow.The explosive trail of kisses he planted on my body, they left their hot sensation still burning me from inside as I craved to feel his lips again on me.My mind was too occupied in the memory lane of last night, how my body reacts in a different way when Daniel is near me.The wall I built around my heart years ago slowly begun to crumble down.I couldn't say anymore that I
