SOPHIA CASTILLOI was very nervous. I barely came to an event like this. It was Sarah who went with my father when necessary most times.The driver announced some seconds ago to me that we have arrived at our destination but I was too nervous to get down of the car.Gently, I opened the car door and stepped out of the car with my heart beating fast in my chest. Just as I came out of the car, the paparazzi began to flash the lights of their camera at me making me nervous. I began to make my way to the entrance and stepped on my dress and lost my balance but thankfully I was caught by someone."Take it easy Sophia, imagine I had not arrived on time. I wonder what would have happened to you?" It was Adrian who had caught me just before I fell."Thanks so much," I exhaled deeply as I stood back on my feet. "There you go," he said flashing me his pearly white teeth and I felt my heart skip. He looked effortlessly handsome.I wanted to run my finger through his hair. He took his hands tha

ADRIAN CASTILLOI could tell Mr. Brian has been looking for opportunities to approach me as he kept looking over at where I was with Sophia. Some seconds after Sophia left my side, he hurried to meet me and I clenched my fist. I was very furious at him for what he did and the lies he told against my father-in-law.I treated Sophia and her family like trash because I felt they were deceitful people and looking for means to take my wealth.Ever since I got to find out the truth, I have been avoiding him because I was afraid I would do what I do not want to do."Adrian, what are you thinking?" He whispered through his teeth and I looked away from him, wanting to keep my cool with my fist clenched in my pocket."How could you keep her close knowing well she is working for her father. Did you forget what I told you? You cannot trust that woman," he said to me."Why? Why shouldn't I trust her? You must be forgetting she is my wife and I won't tolerate any slander against her," I said to hi

ADRIAN CASTILLOThe meeting I expected to end as soon as possible ended up taking longer and I do not regret it.I do not know how Justin and I came to the point of talking about relationships but I ended up talking about Sophia.She has been disturbing my heart and I needed to get it off my chest."Just confess to her. Do not hold it in. I mean tell her how you feel," he advised."But I have done that," I told him, running my finger through my hair."You have? Do you realize there are ways you confess to a woman and she knows you want something more and this woman is your wife? Just tell her that you have fallen for her. Be completely honest with her and tell her what you want. Women love a straightforward man," Justin said and I sighed.Maybe I haven't done that. Sophia might have thought I just wanted to have a friendly relationship with her but I want something more than that."Maybe that's what I should do. Thanks so much, Justin. It felt nice telling someone about this. It has b

SOPHIA CASTILLO"Yes."I heard him say.****It's been over a week since Adrian confessed his feelings to me and we have been trying to get to know one another.Unlike the other time when he asked us to be friends, now it's different.We still have our respective rooms but now, he tries to get me even involved in a lot in his life while I also talk to him too.We've gone out on dates, had fun, watched movies, and teased one another. It felt nice really warming up to him and so far he has been respectful to me.There were times we almost kissed but he pulled back at the last minute which made me wonder why but I never questioned him."Hi," Adrian said as soon as I let him into my room."Hi," I replied."What brings you to my room?" I asked him."I didn't tell you this because I just got told last night and I didn't want to wake up. I am going on a business trip for two weeks but I'd try my best to finish everything up and return to you," he informed me and I felt my stomach sink."You

SOPHIA CASTILLOI returned back to the penthouse five hours after I left with Ozge, the person Adrian had told me would be coming over to keep me company. When I came back,I was expecting Adrian to be back but to my surprise he wasn't back. Maybe that was why he didn't call me.I was tempted to call him but I decided not to as I believe he was in a meeting and I didn't want to distract him.I decided to while away time by reading a book I came across in the bedroom but ended up sleeping.My eyes flutter up and in a blurry state, I saw Adrian backing me while shirtless. He seemed to he talking on the phone as I heard his speak.I rubbed my eyes with my hand and yawned."You are awake," Adrian said, sitting down on the bed while staring at me. "When did you come back?" I asked him, sitting down on the bed."An hour ago. I saw you sleeping and decided not to disturb you. How was your day?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear."It's was good and yours?" I asked him."Stress
