SOPHIA. “Earth to Sophia!” Carla’s voice reached my ears, bringing me back to the present. “Um... I’m sorry. Where were we?” I asked, looking down at the documents on the table. Carla raised an eyebrow. “I can’t believe I spent thirty minutes talking to myself,” she complained. “You’ve been absent-minded since we started.”I sighed. “That’s true... I’m sorry, Carla. I called you all the way here and I’m not even paying attention.”My mind drifted to Lucas and what he had said when we left the restaurant the other day. “I’m all yours, Soph.”What did he mean?Those words had given me sleepless nights as I tried to figure out their meaning.A few days passed since that night. Lucas and I continued to live under one roof and I soon adjusted to my new life. Despite Lucas being extra busy now that he was working on a new project for the Hart group, he still made time to have dinner or lunch with me. Sometimes he cooked for me and I found myself wanting to eat the food he cooked more

ELIAS. “Did you see that?” I asked the men I was with. “What is it, Sir?” One of them who’s named Mike, asked. “Sophia… didn’t you see her?” I replied, looking ahead. I don’t know if I was hallucinating but I had seen someone who looked like Sophia in the hallway, however, a second later, she disappeared. “We didn’t see her, Sir,” Mike answered. I clenched my hands into fists. “I want you to search this place thoroughly. If she’s the one, make sure you bring her to me,” I ordered before walking away. I had a meeting with a few shareholders here, however, I didn’t expect to see someone who looked like my wife. Was it really her?The past few days have been hectic. I’ve been frantically searching for Sophia like a mad person. After seeing her with another man, I realised I didn’t want to lose her. She loved me– she must have been with that man to spite me. I was going to find her and bring her back home. Violet could be on the side while Sophia stays as my official wife. It

LUCAS. “Sir, we’ve received some news from our men,” Wilson reported. He pushed his glasses up his nose and continued, “Elias just applied for an express marriage registration.” I arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on my lips. Finally… Took him long enough.“Help him out secretly. Make sure nothing goes wrong. I want that fucker to get married before he finds Sophia,” I instructed. Rick told me Elias had seen Sophia at the mall earlier today, so I deliberately released some information to make him feel like he was close to finding her. He was lucky, chucky, that lying girlfriend of his called him just in time and distracted him. Otherwise, I wanted to play with him a little… he would have found someone else had he continued to follow the car that Sophia was supposedly in. “Noted, sir,” Wilson responded and was about to leave when I stopped him. “Wait… send him a wedding present from his uncle when he registers his marriage. I’m very, very happy for him,” I said with a satisfied

SOPHIA. I looked at myself in the mirror, seeing the love marks that Lucas had left on my body and my face burned. OH. MY. GOD!What just happened?My heart raced and butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I replayed the scene in my mind. I could still feel his tongue on my core… his hands expertly massaging and caressing my body… his manly scent that I was already so addicted to. Was this a dream?The tingle between my legs told me it was very much real… and I wanted more. But Lucas didn’t go further, saying he only wanted to pleasure me, that’s all. It was strange that he would make me feel good without wanting something in return. It might have been a simple issue for him, but it warmed my heart. I had never been put first before...I quickly went into the shower to clean up, still feeling sticky between my legs. I never even knew I could get this wet or turned on.Indeed, everything feels forced with the wrong partner. But with the right one, desire, feelings- everything flo

ELIAS.Everything changed when he walked into the hall.Everyone who had been buttering me up changed sides quickly like a chameleon changes colours to match its environment.I coiled my hands into fists as all of my grandfather’s friends went to Lucas to chat with him.What was so special about him? I was a Hart too... why didn’t I get the same attention?“Elias, where’s my daughter-in-law?” Mom’s voice came.I looked at her. She looked nice in an elegant emerald green gown and her smile brightened up her face.But only I knew what hid behind that smile... being forced to arrange a party for my uncle must have been hard for her.I looked around, searching for Violet who was now my legal wife.“She said she got hungry,” I replied. “Maybe she’s gone to check out the buffet.”“How can you let her wander around alone? She’s carrying your child. What if something happened to her?” Mom scolded.“Mike is protecting her in the background, Mom. Don’t worry.”My phone suddenly buzzed in my pock
