SOPHIA CASTILLO"Thanks so much for coming Sophia," my cousin sister Evelyn said to me after pulling back from our hug.I've missed her so much. I was glad that Adrian allowed me to come to her wedding."I've missed you too. How have you been?" She asked."I have been fine and you?" I replied with a smile on my face.Evelyn pulled me back again for a hug, surprising me with her action and she began to pat my back lightly."It will all be fine Sophia. Trust me when I tell you so. It will be fine. She will be back," Evelyn said and it dawn on me what was happening.I took in a deep breath and exhaled. Tears blurred my eyes when I realized that Sarah wasn't here as she should have been.It would have been a blast having my sister here with me.I still couldn't believe Sarah had it in her to stay away from her family. She didn't bother calling or checking on us or even leaving an anonymous or random message to tell us how she was doing."Come let's go meet my mom," she said, leading me to
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Of course, he is not that friendly or nice to anyone but there is nothing to talk about," I told her I'm a dismissive tone.Evelyn narrowed her eyes at me before sitting back on the bed."I know it's an arranged marriage and I heard from my mom what happened. Sarah was supposed to marry him but she ran away and you took her place instead. You know you can talk to me right? Is he bad to you?" She asked, taking a hold of my hand and I sighed.Adrian was bad to me at first but lately, things have changed. He wasn't bad anymore but I couldn't understand what was going on and what was happening to me lately when he comes around."Trust me when I say there is nothing to talk about. He was just asking if I have eaten. I mean it's not a big deal. You know I would talk to you if there was something to talk about," I told her, hoping he lets go.Thankfully she did."Fine. Come let's go get you something to eat. Tomorrow, we will start with a lot of planning. I mean we already m
SOPHIAI stared at Adrian in surprise as he conversed with my aunt Paloma.I wasn't expecting him to come here at all. He didn't even inform me of his plans and then he showed up just before dinner with some gifts in his hands looking dashingly handsome."It's such an honor to have you here. Sophia did not tell us that you were coming," my aunt's husband, Philip said to Adrian.I was still standing where I was, watching as they conversed, still trying to comprehend if he was right in front of me or if it was all an imagination."I also didn't inform her. I wanted to surprise her," he replied to my uncle."Well then. You came just right for dinner. The wedding is tomorrow and it's a lot of work this week," Uncle Phillip said."If you don't mind excusing me to have some minutes with my wife," Adrian said and at the mention of the word wife, I felt my heart flutter.Adrian had changed in the past few days and for me, I realize I didn't see him in the same way I did when we first got marr
SOPHIA CASTILLO POINT OF VIEW"Here we are," I said to Adrian, switching on the lights for him to see the room."Good," he said and I turned to look at him."Is it to your liking?" I asked inquisitively as I knew my cousin's house wasn't as big enough or has a big bed as the ones in his mansion.He chuckled. "Of course sweetheart. I mean if you like it, I like it," he said.His words surprised me. He was become very confident and spoke to me as if we have some kind of relationship.Or maybe we do have a relationship. I mean we are both married to one another and we kiss before so that means we have a relationship but I wasn't used to this side of him no matter how hard I tried. It was going to take a long way what were his plans and why was he acting and treating me the way that he was? I needed answers to all of my questions but each time I thought of it, I just couldn't understand."Okay then. I will go get you some towel so that you can shower and sleep," I said to him, attempting
SOPHIA CASTILLO"You look beautiful," Adrian said to me as I admired myself through the standing mirror."Thank you," I said to him, staring at him through the mirror."Are you ready?" He asked.We were yet to leave for the wedding location but it wasn't time yet. We had thirty minutes before the wedding begins."Shall we?" Adrian said, stretching his hands forth for me to take and I take them hesitantly. "Excuse me, I want to spend some time with my Evelyn," I told him and he nodded his head permitting me.He pulled me back closer to him just as I was about to leave and whispered in my ears. "Do not take long." I felt a jolt of electricity run down my spine when he whispered into my ears."There is the wedding girl," I said as soon as I entered the room Evelyn was in. "You look really good," I told her with a smile on my face."Thank you," she replied me smiling back at me."How are you feeling?" I asked her.Looking at her in her wedding dress only reminded me of my wedding and
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Where are my clothes?" I asked Sarah the moment I noticed that my clothes were gone."Oh, I forgot to inform you. While you were away, Master Adrian said to move back your clothes to his room," she said and my eyes widened in shock."What? He asked that my stuff be moved back? Why? When?" I asked, surprised by what I had just heard."Last week Wednesday," she replied to me and I facepalmed myself. He gave me the right to leave so why did he move my stuff back and why didn't he inform me? I walk to his room to go and ask him the reason for his sudden change of mind. I knock on the door of his room but got no reply from him and so I entered to see that he wasn't in. I left the room and went to his office at home. I knocked on the door and I heard him say I should come in."Sophia," he called, getting up from where he was seated as soon as he saw me."What brings you here?" He asked, he sounded concerned and curious at the same time. I took in a deep breath and exhal
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Do you like the dresses?" Adrian asked me on the phone.It's been over a week since I returned and over a week since he asks to be my friend. Since then we have been trying to get to know one another.The next day, he took me out to fancy five-star restaurants. He said he didn't wasn't used to things like this but he just wants to try things out."Yes. I love them all. I can't choose the one I want to wear for the event since they all match the theme," I told him."Well, I had one in mind but I wanted you to be the one to choose for yourself but since you are having difficulty choosing, why don't you wear the one with the beads. I think that would look better on you," he said and I carried the dress with beads on the bed with my hands to take a look at it.It did stand out compared to the other two dresses."Fine then," I told him."Okay. I will call you later today when the driver comes over to pick you up. Take care of yourself," he said."Sure and thanks once again
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
