Sophie is delighted to be marrying Sebastian, the billionaire heir to the Castillo line, who has always been her childhood crush. She counts herself one of the few amongst her peers, who wouldn't have to deal with the unpleasant ordeal of a loveless marriage, But all that hope is crushed when she's jilted at the altar by her intended groom who doesn't show up. But worse than being the jilted bride, is the crushing reality that the wedding is expected to go on. Only, instead of marrying Sebastian, she would be marrying his cold hearted, arrogant recluse of a half-brother; Dante Castillo. And in her opinion, that was the worst fate any young lady could ever be sentenced to. Or was it..?

PROLOGUE
The moment Sebastian Castillo stepped into the confines of his father's private study, he felt that overwhelming burden that always overcame him whenever he was summoned here. The familiar oak panelling walls and the wooden furnitures with dark finishes that was supposed to emit a comforting atmosphere, only suffocated him. No surprise there, seeing as He had very few, if any, good memories of his time here in the past. His father, clad in a simple grey cardigan and cotton pants, was standing at the broad window, his hands crossed behind his back as he pointedly ignored his son's presence. But even with his back turned against his son, Sebastian still felt oddly intimidated by this man he had known all his life.It was the same stifling discomfort that could be likened to the feeling of being placed under a microscopic inspection. Like being summoned to the principal's office to face a charge of misconduct and having the principal look disapprovingly at you from the tops of his ridi

Chapter One
"What do you mean by he is no where to be found..?" Sophie had that slight tremble in her voice that signaled she was at the very edge of panic.Marko shifted his weight from foot to foot, trying to avoid the intense searching gaze of Sophie Gonzales. She had always had that intimidating look about her.That serene almost hostile air of an aristocrat who wasn't used to unpleasantness, but her emerald green eyes had never held so much fire as it did in that moment. Atleast not when directed at him.And he didn't blame her... Not really. She was living every bride's nightmare; a missing groom.To be fair though, she was taking this quite well for a woman In a situation like hers. Better than most. But what did he know..? She could be building up to an eruptive volcano for all her calm was worth; He didn't trust it one bit. And he was just so unlucky as to have to be the one in her direct line of fire. Damn you Sebastain! He cursed inwardly at the missing groom. Marko had been despera

Chapter Two
Dante would never in a million years, have imagined himself in the sort of situation in exactly which he now found himself: Married to another man's wife.Well, technically, she was not Sebastian's wife_ Not legally anyway_ still..." Smile Querida.." Dante whispered fiercely through his teeth at his just proclaimed wife, who was still looking very much like a deer caught in headlights. She tilted her chin towards him in that elegant half-turn manner wherein she could see sideways without really turning her neck. She stared vacantly at him like someone in a trance."You have to show a bit of emotion if not excitement Sophie.. the people are watching" he reminded, as though she had completely forgotten they had audience. As if she could forget. She was very much aware of the congregation before her.All two hundred and some odd number of them, Expressing varying degrees of surprise and suspicion over the unpredictable twist in events which had resulted to the turn up of a completely

Chapter Three
The wedding reception had scarcely begun, when Dante Castillo gave into boredom and started plotting the fantasy of his exit. Atleast, that, he supposed, was something he had in common with his new bride; The desire to be as far away as possible, from this elaborate spectacle they had unfortunately become an object of.It was a peculiar kind of torture, continually having to endure the patronizing manner and speculative glances on the faces of the wedding guests, most of whom were only seeking to glean some bit of gossip in the guise of wanting to say their congratulations. Their intrusive curiosity was amusing, if not annoying.It was therefore, no wonder why Dante had never cultivated any interest in socializing from the onset. He did not know exactly what people called him behind his back these days for his anti-social behavior, but he was sure that whatever it was, was worth the peace that came with exempting himself from their shameless subterfuge and vile gossip. The socialit

Chapter Four
"Here comes the bride.." Dante was distracted into consciousness once again by the lull of conversation between the women at his side only to notice that he must have zoned out for quite a bit of time, because he hadn't realized until then, that they had been newly joined by a rather elderly looking gentleman and his wife_Or was it his daughter? Dante wasn't sure. He couldn't be sure these days. With all the pimping about and the rise in plastic surgeries, all the feminine faces were beginning to blur into one."Come now dear.." Mariah was beckoning again to someone behind him and Dante turned to see Sophie. She seemed to have managed to lose her bride's maid meanwhile. He wondered if it had been intentional. For no matter how supportive Janet had been, it had been obvious that she too had been confused and curious. Not her fault, this was all still just a big shock to everyone. Dante himself had long since told Marko not to bother sticking around and the young man had appeared to b

Chapter Five
One last dance and she would be free. One dance, and then she could close her eyes to this nightmare. It was all Sophie told herself as she went with Dante to lead the customary opening dance.But when they stood to take their positions, Sophie was a bit intimidated. She was wary, but Not so much as because of the height difference as it was owing to the fact that she had noticed the new edge of indifference in him. Almost as though he had added several layers of ice since the last time she they spoke, Which of course was at dinner. He hadn't spoken much... well, infact, he hadn't spoken at all. Not since their last squabble at the table, where he had teased her, then sort of threatened her right after in not so many words. She wondered what was up with him. She had hated it when he teased her and urged her to speak up and act more lively, but his silence bothered her most. His face was closed off. Almost hostile, and she couldn't read him at all. It made her terribly nervous. And

Chapter Six
Sophie hesitated at the entrance to the bedroom, quietly watching Dante as he moved to set their bags at the foot of the wardrobe.She watched him lower himself to a squat as he unzipped his duffel bag and set to unpack.There wasn't much to be unpacked though, besides his laptop, a small cellophane bag containing his essential toiletries and a couple of shirts and trousers. None of which looked at all benefitting for a two week long beach vacation stay. Which might have served to drive home the fact that he had had very little time to pack and had of course, not initially planned to go on a vacation in the first place, but Sophie was determined to be suspicious.Although something about him, gave her the feeling that Dante wasn't the kind of person who would know how to go about selecting an appropriate wardrobe choice befitting of a vacation.He probably never even had a day of vacation in his whole life. "I can do that.." Sophie spoke up suddenly as Dante drew her travelling bags

Chapter Seven
The sun was high on the eastern horizon by the time Sophie deigned to arose her self from the blissful abyss of sleep. The sun was steadily and determinedly making It's energetic ascent in the sky, It's gentle rays shyly peeking through the slightly open shutter windows of the bedroom, thus letting in slanted bursts of gold tinged lighting that illuminated the room and positively settled upon Sophie's sleepy face with a rosy blush.She was feeling peculiarly lethargic and couldn't decide whether to allow herself come into full consciousness or to just simply let her body slide right back into sleep. However, the puzzling feeling of certain things being strangely out of place, distracted her long enough to allow her make the subconscious decision of coming into full wakefulness.She couldn't feel the extra silken layer of her eye mask on her face, so she wondered, for one, how come she appeared to have fallen so easily asleep the previous night without her eye mask, and why on earth wa

Chapter Eight
Sophie was beginning to grow dizzy from constantly having to watch Dante's anxious pacing movements. He seemed to be every where at once. He had gotten right up to making series of phone calls after he was done setting up their luggage.Sophie had been eventually pressured to get her things ready and had managed to do so in record time too. There was no way She could have been able to keep up that lackadaisical air of nonchalance under Dante's watchful eyes and hovering presence. He had been literally breathing down her neck. He had such an unwavering tenacity about him that could bend the will of anyone_even someone as stubborn as she was. He could make you squirm with out even saying a word. All he need do was pin you with that intimidating look that spoke volumes all on its own.Not that Sophie was intimidated. She just felt... Well, a little bit guilty. For what exactly..? she wasn't sure. It was just something in that look of his. It made you feel things you didn't understand

Chapter Nine
"Where are we heading to..?" Sophie asked of the elderly looking gentleman who had earlier received them_Dante and herself_ at the air space moments ago, shortly after their safe landing on the helipad.He had come along with Alberto Sanchez, Dante's much younger PR manager, and had introduced himself as Jethro Gibbs, Dante's professional Chauffeur. Jethro was quite a dependably agile sexagenarian, with a full head of silver tinted greying locks and an amiable smile that bespoke of a certain ancient, but once admirably youthful charm.He had an easy manner of speech that was placating and an air of assurance that was welcoming.Perhaps that had been the reason why Sophie had not been particularly difficult when he had directed her towards the black Mercedes which was to be their lift, right after Dante had simply instructed him to; "..take her home."Dante had said it then as though he were some weary guardian who couldn't wait to get rid of his infinitely troublesome ward.Sophie ha
