SOPHIA CASTILLO
I suddenly lost my appetite to eat. It wasn't that they said anything bad about me but I hated to look pitiful.I smiled weakly at them before turning on my heels to leave."Ma'am," I heard the voice of the maid that brought me to the kitchen and I halted on my track.I tilted my head to look at her. "Yes," I answered."Aren't you here to get something? I mean if you changed your mind, I could bring something for you to eat in your room," she said to me.I smiled at her gratefully. "Thanks but I'm fine. I will let you know when I am hungry," I told her and continued on my track."What's your name?" I asked the maid, halting on my track once again.She smiled at me. "Sarah," she said and I nodded my head.Hearing her name reminded me of my older sister.I walked away quietly into the room. I haven't been able to do anything since morning because of Adrian.I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and took my bath before coming out to wear the same clothes Adrian gave me to wear yesterday.I was yet to get my clothes from my parent's mansion and I didn't have anyone to drive me there and no money to go to my parent's place.I sat down on the floor and hugged my knees while crying in silence******TWO WEEKS AGOI knocked on the door of my sister's room. It was time for breakfast and she was yet to come down."Sarah, are you in there?" I asked before knocking on the door again when I got no reply."Sarah!" I called again.When I didn't get a reply for the third time, I opened her door and went in."Sarah," I called as I stepped my feet into her room. It was unlike her to not be down for breakfast by this time.She is the one to wake me up all the time.I sighed when I removed the duvet and saw that she wasn't the one sleeping but on pillows. I furrowed my brows in confusion as I wondered why she would put pillows under her duvet.I wasn't hearing the shower run but still, I went to the bathroom to see if she was there and she wasn't. Panicked gripped me when I didn't see her on her balcony or any other place. This was unlike her.I ran out of the room to go inform my parents."Mom, Dad," I called for their attention.They both tilted their head to stare at me."Yes?" They answered simultaneously with a questioning look on their face."What is it?" My mother asked."Sarah is not in her room," I informed them."What do you mean by she is not in her room?" My father asked."Sarah is not in her room. I checked her bathroom and balcony but she isn't in her room," I said.My mother got up from where she was alongside my father and we all went back to her room to search for her.We couldn't find her. My mother went around the mansion to check for her but she wasn't there."I can't find her, I...I saw her sleeping last night before I went to bed," my mother said frantically."She wasn't the one sleeping. She put pillows under her duvet to make it seem like she was the one," I told them.My mother gasped. "Sarah...no... No. It's not possible," my mother shook her head vigorously.My eyes darted to the pillow and I saw a letter under it. I furrowed my brows before attempting to take the paper.After taking the paper, I gasped when I saw the heading. Dear Mom, Dad, Sophia,I am sorry to have left this way without informing any of you. I am sorry but I cannot do it anymore.I cannot get married to Adrian.He is not a human being. He is a beast and a heartless person and I cannot continue to act like I am alright when I am not.I cannot marry him also because there is another in my heart and I look forward to a happy future with him.Please do not look for me because I will be alright.I'm sorry once again and I love you all.**********Tears streamed down my cheek as I recalled how it all started and why I had to marry Adrian instead of my sister.My father refuses that I got married to Adrian as he feared I might run away like Sarah if I did but I was adamant.Not only was he going to go to jail if he wasn't able to give back the investors their money but we were also going to be rendered homeless and I couldn't bear that and so I persisted that they let me marry him.I begged my father for days before he agreed.From the day I met Adrian till the very moment, all I have felt were pain and I understood why my sister has to leave.I wipe the tears from my eyes quickly when u heard the sound of the door opening.I raised my head to see that it was Adrian and now he was standing in front of me with a blank expression on his face."Are you seriously going to cry all the time? Why are you doing this? Do you think I will pity you if I see you cry?" He asked before squatting down to my height level.My eyes locked with his and I shuddered a little."Do you know the kind of people I hate the most?" He asked rhetorically."I hate people who cry the most and people who always want to play the victim and you know why?""It's because those people are very dangerous and you won't even see it coming when they want to stab you because they know how to manipulate others very well," he said, making emphasis on his words while staring deep into my eyes.SOPHIA CASTILLOIf one didn't know Adrian, it was easy to fall in love with his eyes.He has the most beautiful blue eyes. They were very attractive and blue being my favorite color has never looked this attractive.But when you get to know him and you stare into his eyes, all you want is to never look at them ever again.I remember the first time I saw his eyes, I fell in love with them but after the way he treated me, blue became the ugliest color to me.His eyes mortify me all the time I look at them because all I can see in them for me is nothing but disgust."Get up," he demanded as he stood back on his feet with both hands in his pants pocket.I furrowed my brows in confusion. "I won't be repeating myself, Sophia," he said firmly and I quickly got up on my feet."Good," he said before leaning towards me."I won't tolerate your attitude anymore. I do not want a repeat of this morning Sophia. You are not to raise your voice at me, never. Am I clear?" He said firmly and I nodded m
SOPHIA CASTILLOI miss home. I miss my parents.I miss my sister.I miss everyone that has made my twenty years a life full of joy and happiness.I was tired of living. I was tired of being in here but I had no choice.I was tired of everything at this point in my life and all I wanted was to go back home to my parents and wrap my arms around them.I sobbed quietly in the toilet as I knew Adrian might come into the room soon and I wasn't ready to face him. I wasn't ready to hear any more of his words.I sat down in the toilet for only the heavens know how long before I decided to go back to the room."Ah!" I screamed the moment I stepped into the room and my eyes stumbled upon Adrian's dick.I closed my eyes with my palm and turned back so as not to see them again. My heart was racing faster than normal as the image of his dick kept reappearing in my head.It wasn't for a short second that I saw it but it was enough to make me forget the way to breathe.I felt a presence behind me bu
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian came out after a while but this time he was fully dressed. He took his keys and left the room.I cried all through the night and eventually fell asleep amidst it all.When I woke up the next day, I woke up to the ray of the sun reflecting on my face.I had not realized that I didn't close the window and I slept on the floor for the night until I woke up.I groaned as I got up from where I slept. I looked at the bed to see that it was untouched. I didn't bother to think of Adrian as I didn't want to remember last night and how I shamelessly let myself fall in his webs."Come in," I said after hearing a knock on the door."Good morning ma'am," Sarah greeted and I smiled at her in return before walking into the bathroom to wash off. By the time I came out, Sarah was almost done cleaning the room.I stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand to see that it was fifteen minutes past eight. I placed my hand on my stomach to see that my stomach was rumbling.I had not
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Welcome home sir," Sarah greeted Adrian before walking out of the room hurriedly, leaving just me and Adrian alone.Adrian glanced at me from head to toe making me look at myself too because I didn't want him to find any reason to insult him.He looked away from me and walked into the bathroom. I exhaled deeply once he was gone.Where has he been and why is he just returning now? I thought to myself.After some minutes, Adrian returned to the room with a towel wrapped around his waist and I unconsciously and shamelessly looked at his well-structured body and his packs."Are you done eye fucking me?" I heard Adrian say and I snapped out of my thoughts before realizing what I had done.I mentally scolded myself for looking at him when I should avoid him and mind my business."I was...wasn't eye..." I trailed off finding it hard to complete my statement.He clicked his tongue. "Of course, you weren't," he said in a form of mockery."If I were to put my dick in your mouth
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian stretched out his arms before resting his butt on the desk in the room.Even still he was still taller than me. I have never felt so small in my entire life."How old are you Sophia?" Adrian asked taking me by surprise as he has never asked me anything about myself before."Twenty," I replied."The fuck?" He cursed."You are twenty?" He asked as if he didn't believe it."Yes, I am," I replied him."Are you sure your parents didn't ask you to lie about your age? I mean I will give it to them if you ask me to because they know what you are capable of. I mean those eyes of you..." He muttered something I didn't hear but I knew it was about me.He has always complained about my eyes and I do not understand how one could hate my eyes so much"Aren't you like eighteen? You are too small. Did you skip puberty? Look at your chest, you barely grew boobs. How old are you?" He said staring at me and I felt conscious of my own body.I covered my chest with my hands and laug
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Why have you come here anyways Sophia?" Adrian asked after a while. I had completely forgotten why I came to look for him in the first place the moment he began to look down on me and accuse me.I wiped the tears in my eyes with my fingers and sniffled a little.Adrian folded his arms across his chest, scrutinizing me."I want to ask for your permission to visit my parents," I tell him.Adrian's brows rose as if he did not hear me and he wanted me to repeat myself. I fidgeted with my finger, not attempting to say any more words until he said something."You want to go see your parents? Why?" His brows rose again but now in a questioning manner."So that you and them can plan your next move? So that you and can tell then you are unable to woo me and they can tell you other means to get me?" He clicked his tongue while he shook his head."That's not true," I said to him but he chuckled in return."Of course, it is not true. It can't be true. Isn't it you? All you know
SOPHIA CASTILLOI remember on the day of our wedding when the priest pronounced us husband and wife and asked us to kiss.Adrian had taken me by surprise as he placed his lips on mine for the shortest seconds. Our lips barely touched and before I could comprehend the situation, he stood back straight.It was as if nothing happened and he couldn't wait for the entire ceremony to end.Now my lips were pressed against his, this time firmly, compared to when we first kissed.Adrian's eyes widened and he pushed me off him and I landed on my butt while letting out a grumping sound."The fuck is wrong with you woman!" He raised his voice at me for the first time.I didn't know if I was seeing double but I was sure I saw Adrian's cheek flush before I could decipher it was gone and he was standing on his feet."I try to help you and in return, you took advantage of me," he clicked his tongue. "Maybe I should start being extremely cautious with you because I mean, take a look at what you just
ADRIAN CASTILLO"Excuse me, sir, Mr. Adante has requested that for your audience, he is currently waiting for you outside," Melinda, my secretary informed me.I frowned upon hearing about Mr. Adante's presence. I have ended the deal with him and do not plan on giving him another chance but no matter how many times I tell him and reject him, he doesn't seem to listen to me."Who let him in?" I asked.I mean I have securities for reason and I do not understand why they would let a man like him enter my company. I have told them officially about him so I could not blame them."Tell him to go away or I will be forced to tell him securities to drag him," I tell her.She nodded her head before leaving me to continue my work.I was trying hard to concentrate but I just couldn't not when Sophia ugly eyes invaded my mind and thoughts.It's been over a month since I married her and a week since I resumed back to work. I have missed being at work but where I expected to be my safe place turned
