How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife One step forward, two steps back
Sophia It made sense. I understood it all. That shadow that crossed Kieran’s face whenever he mentioned kids? The pain I saw in his eyes when he talked about family? I knew what it was. A missing piece of the puzzle fell into its place, making all the other parts come together, creating a perfect symphony, a picture so clear. I realized why Kieran practically forced me into marrying him and never gave me a shred of a logical reason for it; why he was always distant and didn’t allow me to get to know him; why he deflected my every question. Our eyes were locked with each other; mine welled up with tears while his dark skies were clouded with anticipation, disappointment, and something that resembled… fear? Yes, I was sure. It was fear I saw in Kieran. It was fear that pushed him to act so unexplainably crazy. He was scared. Mighty Kieran King was afraid of me, of me rejecting him. Not because of his dominating and controlling personality or the way he treated me or even my past, n
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife I'm sorry
SophiaThe Uber I called took me to Kieran’s house, and even though it was still early, I barricaded myself in my room, or better, a room assigned to me.Although I was the master of suppressing pain and pretending I was fine, I failed most miserably this time because the pain of a broken heart was not something I knew how to deal with. And Kieran broke mine in the cruelest way. He gave me hope, only to yank it out of my hands the very next moment.So, I reached for a sleeping pill, something I had never done before, but it was necessary. I needed to avoid thinking about today’s events at all costs. With all that has happened since the sun rose in the sky this morning, it was mission impossible.While I was taking a shower, the pill worked its magic, and as soon as my head touched the pillow, I was out like a light, leaving all my worries for tomorrow, hoping that, just for once, it may never come.~ ~ ~I was woken up by the heat. It was so hot I thought I was burning up in the fiery
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife One more reason to stay
Sophia“I’m not going to work today.” I declared upon entering the spacious kitchen where Kieran had his breakfast.He cocked his head to the side and furrowed his eyebrows playfully. “Enjoying the perks of being the boss’s wife, I see.” But then his face suddenly changed, and it became the grim one I knew so well. “Will I find you here when I come back?”I ignored the question as I advanced towards the coffee machine. “Sophia?” a warning growl echoed behind me, but I kept my cool.Only when I got a much-needed drink and sat at the table in front of Kieran did I spare him a glance. I had to admit I liked his reaction. Seeing him try to control his anger was oddly satisfying.“What would be the point? Public humiliation when you hunt me down like an animal and drag me back here as you did in Richmond?” Sarcasm was seeping from my every word, and I pulled my lips into a fake smile.Kieran’s eyes didn’t leave my face, not even when he continued to eat. What’s more, they scrutinized me li
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Not sorry at all
Kieran I fucked up. Instead of making things right with Sophia after I snapped at her once again, even though I promised myself to do a better job of controlling my temper around her, I screwed up worse than ever before. It seemed like each time I was about to take a step in the right direction in this relationship, something major would happen, taking me two steps back. And today, it was not my fault. I had nothing with the past catching up on me, the past I tried so hard to run away from. The past… Nora. For months, I had this crippling fear of facing her again, and I knew that day had to come. And when it was finally there, it almost cost me everything I held dear. Well, at least I hoped it was not too late and that I could still salvage the image of the future I painted so vividly in my head. Because when I came face to face with my greatest failure in life, I realized the past would always remain right where it belonged and that what was to come was a hundred times more powe
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Alan King
Sophia “Good evening, Sir.” I smiled gently at the old man standing in front of me. He was beaming with authority, making me address him with the utmost respect. “Good evening.” He greeted us back, offering me his hand, which I gladly accepted. “It’s Alan for you. We are family now, after all.” “Evening, Dad,” Kieran said curtly, and I didn’t miss the coldness in his voice. So, the impression I had about their relationship when I first saw them together wasn’t that wrong. I remembered thinking the same at Ellie’s wedding reception, but it wasn’t exactly the day when my mind was at its clearest. Alan led the way to the dining room, with Kieran and me following behind. I used the chance to look around and admire the exquisite interior. I had to admit it was cozier than Kieran’s; it had that ‘woman’s touch,’ a warmth of sorts, and it got me wondering… We sat at the table set for three people, and the atmosphere made me slightly uncomfortable. Questions would be asked tonight, questi
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Please, Sophia, I need you
SophiaWe were quiet on the ride home, each occupied with their own thoughts. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Kieran wanted to say something but was holding himself back.“Are you still angry with me?” I heard him ask as I advanced up the stairs on the way to my room.“Yes, Kieran. I am angry. You shouldn’t have used my sister to keep me bound here.” I snapped and marched forward, leaving him behind.I got to the bathroom, took a shower, and did my nightly routine. I came to enjoy pampering myself every night. I used to think lotions, creams, and oils were overrated, but now that I had the means and time, I realized it didn’t matter if those things worked or not; the magic was in the process and the moments I had just for myself.Returning to the bedroom, I froze in my track. I didn’t expect to see Kieran standing by the bed, unbuttoning his shirt, but he was there in flesh and blood.“What the hell are you doing here?!” I hissed.“Getting ready to sleep?”“Get out!”“I hav
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Change of plans
SophiaIt was the first time since we started living under the same roof that we spent the day simply ‘hanging out.’ Each past weekend, I lazed around reading and resting, and I rarely saw Kieran, even though I knew he was at home.Despite what I feared when I woke up, Kieran didn’t go back to being closed off, rejecting my every attempt to get to know him and avoiding answering my questions. Of course, he wasn’t all lollipops and candy canes, and I never expected him to be someone he was not, but the change in his demeanor was obvious.Although I didn’t interrogate him much, afraid that I would push him over the edge and he would shut me out again, Kieran answered all the inquiries I did voice out as I tried to learn more about him. And he didn’t restrain himself, either. Besides all the things he asked, he never missed the chance to touch me or kiss me no matter what we were doing… making food together or sitting on the sofa watching a movie.Though it was quickly becoming a habit I
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Leap of faith
Sophia “Had a good time?” A hushed roar from the dark startled me, and I dropped the shopping bags onto the floor. I was on my way to the walk-in closet to put away all the things I had bought when Kieran’s voice from the shadows astounded me. But it wasn’t his fault that I didn’t turn on the lights when I entered the room and saw him sitting on the bed with his back leaned against the headboard. “What are you doing there in the dark?” “Waiting for you.” I heard him say as I continued to do what I intended before he scared me. Was that a tinge of worry lacing his voice? I took my time unpacking the clothes I bought, and when I returned to the room, I found Kieran in the same position. Lazily, I strolled towards him and sat at the foot of the bed, not taking my eyes off his. “Did Clara spill all the dirty little secrets you always wanted to know about me?” Kieran was serious, his facial expression grave, and I couldn’t read a thing from it. And my heart? My heart sang in delight
