In the morning, I decide to call Mr. Gracia for the wedding venue and time.
I called him. He picked up in seconds.
"Hello , is this Henry Gracia?"
"Yes, who's this?"
"It’s Alexei Dè Sokolov speaking."
"O-oh, good morning sir! I hope you are well.
Let’s get into the business straight. I want the wedding to be held the day after tomorrow, and the wedding will be held at your house.
"Okay, sir. As you wish. "
"And also, you can’t invite any of your relatives. Three relatives of mine will come with me. Do you have any problems? "
"But sir, can’t we call just a few relatives?"
" Agree on this or the marriage will not happen."
"O-okay sir! I’ll not invite any of my relatives. That’s for calling me sir. "
I hang up the phone. I don’t want to chit chat with him. I hang up the phone. I don't want to chit chat with him. I can't even tolerate him. If I’m not wrong, he's doing illegal business. After this, I decided to call my sister and tell her about the date and place.
" Hello sister , are you free?"
"Yes, I'm, what is it?"
"The date and place of marriage are fixed."
"Oh, that’s great. I saw Sophia's photo yesterday. She looks beautiful, though. I hope she has a great personality too, like her beauty.
"Yes, now can we talk about where we left?"
"Ah yes, tell me when the date and place are."
"It's the day after tomorrow. And the wedding will be held at Sophia’s house in America. So go to America with dad and aunt Susie. "
"America huh..allright"
After that, I hang up the phone and get ready to leave for America.
I decided to go to America a few days before the wedding. I didn’t want a late date for the wedding. So when I arrived in America, I went to a shopping mall to buy our rings. I decided that I'd buy both of our rings. Her father gave me her ring size.
After finishing shopping, when I got out, I saw a familiar face. When I look closely, I notice it’s Sophia. She’s here for shopping, probably. I stare at her for a few minutes. After a few minutes, she must have noticed that I was staring at her, so I quickly left the shopping mall. I saw her wearing a long sleeved dress in the summer. That’s strange.
I can’t wait for the wedding. She looks as beautiful as ever.
SOPHIA'S POV:It's the day of the wedding. I woke up early today and took a shower. The garden is decorated for the wedding . The maids come and give me something to eat. When I finished eating, the maids all came and helped me to get dressed and apply makeup. When they are finished, they leave the room. I was sitting alone in the room."Mom, I’m getting married. "Please pray for me," I whisper as I pray.Sometimes later, my sisters come to my room."Look who’s wearing a wedding dress," Harley says.Well, no matter how many new and beautiful dresses she wears, she will still look like a whore. That’s because that’s in her blood maybe, "Raelyn says.They were wearing more beautiful dresses than mine. It’s nothing new, though. I silently listened to their comments. I don’t want to say anything back. After a while, the mother came into the room."So you are ready, huh?" looks pathetic as always. " Mom saysListen, we are not getting you married to Mr. Sokolov, not only for our company.
SOPHIA'S POV:“Are you finished talking with them Sophia?” He ask me.“Yeah we are finished. You can go now If you want. And please come again soon.” Raelyna says.“Yeah you all could stay here before you return to Russia but you didn’t listen.” Father says.“Yeah I’m gonna miss my daughter.” Mother says.They all are acting like they care about me. But it’s all fake. All they want is money.“Let’s go” Alex says as he open the car door. Father along with sister Alya and aunt sussie went home a few minutes ago.I go in the car and then the car start to move. I can see the face of my family on the car's mirror.My sister with an disappoint face , my brother who’s angry and my parents with not so happy face. The car ride is silent. It’s so awkward. Should i start speaking? But what should i speak about. I’m not very good at speaking with people properly.“Are you sad. Do you miss your family?” Alex says.“Um..n-no..I don’t have any reason for being sad.” I said mumbling. Alex give me
ALEX'S POV: It’s the wedding day. I couldn’t hold my enjoyment. It might be the happiest day of my life. I wish mom was here too. She would be very happy for me. I got to marry my first love though it was one sided but still. I wake up early and get dressed. Then we left our house heading to Gracia house. The house was not that much decorated. The garden is a little decorated for the ceremony. Then I saw a butler coming towards us."Who do you have buisness with?" The butler ask"Henry Gracia" I replied.The butler went in to call Mr. Gracia.After a while Henry Gracia coming towards us.“Excuse me, who you might be?” “It’s our first time meeting face to face I guess. I’m Alexei Dè Sokolov the CEO of Sokolov company” I say and move my hand forward for handshake.He looks surprised for a second thank quickly smile and accept my handshake.“Oh Mr. Sokolov you are finally here! We were waiting for your arrival!” He says.“ Yeah. And that’s my father, older sister and my aunt" I says
SOPHIA'S POV: I don’t know why I’m suddenly in my old room at my father’s house. I’m lying down on my bed. The whole room is black. Suddenly I saw a shadow at the end of my bed. It’s coming closer to me. I want to scream and move away but I can’t do anything. The shadow come closer and start groping my body. I feel like it tore my clothes and start enjoying my body. I want to cry and move away but I can’t. It hurts so much. After a while the shadow suddenly strangle my neck. I can’t breath. It’s suffocating. Someone please help. “Sophia wake up!” Someone is calling my name. Suddenly I sat up. Looks like it was another nightmare . I’m sweating very much and can’t breath properly too. I notice Alex beside me was also awake. Looks like he’s the one who was calling my name. These nightmare happen most of the time. That’s why i couldn’t sleep at night when brother didn’t come to my room. “Sophia are you allright? Here drink a glass of water and calm down" He handed me a glass of wate
Alex's POV: Suddenly, I feel like Sophia is shaking a bit. I’m a light sleeper, so I notice it quickly. When I wake up and turn on the table lamp, I notice Sophia, who’s still asleep, shaking and tossing in her sleep. She’s probably having a nightmare. She’s mumbling slowly, "Don’t come close." I try to shake her awake. After calling her name and shaking her, she woke up and suddenly sat up. "Are you all right?" Here, drink a glass of water and calm down. " I offered her a glass of water. She takes it with her shaking hand. After a while, she calmed down. She told me that she had just had a nightmare. Nothing to be concerned about.Then she lay down again and fell asleep. I don’t want to ask her right now about her nightmare. I’ll ask her tomorrow and then I'll fall asleep. The next morning, when I wake up, the first thing I notice is that Sophia isn’t beside me. It’s seven in the morning. She may have gone downstairs. Dad and sister are most likely awake.Thankfully, my sister and
SOPHIA’S POV:I wake up early in the morning. I sleep a little last night. Which was filled with nightmares. I see these often. More like I’m used to it. I wash my face and took some of my supplements and vitamins. I saw Alex still sleeping. There is few papers on the reading table. He probably was doing some office work. I got changed and went downstairs to make some breakfast. I can do this little things. I made some waffles along with some tea. I don’t know any Russian dishes. I have to learn. While making breakfast I saw aunt Susie coming to kitchen. “Good morning aunt Susie” I greet her.“Good morning dear. You are already awake and making breakfast .” She greet me back with a soft smile. “Looks like you are an early bird” Aunt Susie says to me. “Yes aunt. I usually wake up early” I replied smiling a bit. “What are you making? Are those waffles I’m seeing. Gosh they looks so tempting. I can’t wait till breakfast.” Aunt Susie says while chuckling a bit.“Thanks Aunt Susie. Um.

I can’t sit up so I crawl back as far as I can. But suddenly I bump into wall. My brother keep coming close with that evil grin on his face..until he pick me up and throw me on the bed. It hurts so much. I was already half naked only wearing my lingire. He come top of me start strip me naked.
