24. So Whipped!
Nick's POV
I was getting ready for the party . I had asked Sophia to come with me. Previously, I had missed a party because at that time I didn't want to go anywhere with her but a lot of things have changed in this period. I am over my misconceptions about her and this time I am proud to be able to bring her to the party as my wife.
From the very first day , each and every family member of mine has been fond of her. Even Caleb took a liking to her at the first sight but I was blind to her innocence. The urge to not trust any woman had overpowered me and I behaved so pathetically towards her.
These days, being so close to her, has definitely affected me. I like sleeping in the same bed and cuddling with her and waking up together. I miss her when I am at work. I try not to work till late night just to have a family dinner. Sometimes I think that what I feel for her is more than mere liking but I am scared to feel anything deeper .

Sophia's POVI was talking to Char when I heard a loud voice." Nick , is that you?" I turned to look at the owner of the voice. There stood a red haired woman in a black plunging neckline dress. Her blue eyes and hourglass figure made her look absolutely stunning.I saw Nick's shoulders were tensed a bit . He slowly turned to face the woman but his face didn't have any greeting or acknowledging smile." Clara." , It seemed like her name tasted bitter on his tongue. But the ignorant woman walked up to him and straight away hugged him . I looked at Caleb to see him extremely bothered . Last time I saw this expression was when Christina was at home but this time it looked more serious. I hope this isn't something like that."Who is she ?" Char asked, looking curious."I don't know. Never heard of her." I replied, keeping my eyes on them."Of course you don't. Must be another fling of that jerk-face." Char venom
The Arranged Bride 26. Ethan!
Nick's POVAs I kept playing with Sophia's hair , she slept peacefully with her lips parted. I had shared my story with Sophia yesterday and honestly I had felt better after talking to her. I want to trust her , I want to be with her and maybe someday fall in love with her. I don't know if I am going to be left with a broken heart once again but still I want to take this risk.I was so focused on my thoughts that I didn't realise when she woke up. I looked into her grey eyes which were staring back. Her beautiful grey eyes were the first thing that I had noticed when I saw er in the office for the first time and they have never failed to captivate me. A soft smile was playing on her face which automatically had my lips curved up in a smile."Good morning." She said, stretching her hands and yawning."Good morning ." I smiled ."Nick , I was thinking of going to the park today with Ethan. " Sophia excitedly said."No
The Arranged Bride 27. Nick, Don't!
Sophia's POVPeople were slowly gathering , murmuring while I looked on without even blinking. When Brandon slightly shook me, I finally came out of my trance. Without looking anywhere I ran to Ethan." Ethan !" I sat down beside him and took his head on my lap . Blood was trickling down his head. Never had I imagined of seeing such a sight." Ethan, Baby get up please . Look at me , Ethan ?" I was desperately pleading while tears were freely rolling down my cheeks." Leo, get him inside the car, fast." He took up Ethan and once I settled in, he put Ethan on my lap and started driving." Everything will be okay , you will be okay." I was assuring myself more than anyone. The ten minutes drive seemed to be the longest of my life.........I was sitting outside the emergency unit while Leo stood opposite to me. Whenever a nurse came out of the room, we rushed to her but the only answer we have got is th
The Arranged Bride 28. A Break?
Sophia's POVChar was sitting beside me rubbing my back to soothe the pain but it was hurting so much.I don't know for how long I was sitting outside the emergency room with my head on my hands when I heard Nick's voice. I raised my head to see him speaking to Leo. He didn't look at me and seemed so lost. I knew he was worried sick about Ethan.After a few more minutes Mama, Papa and Erica came. I told Mama and Papa about what I saw. Narrating the incident was so freaking painful that fresh tears started rolling down my cheeks. Caleb came and stood beside Nick but he didn't speak.Even after an hour , Nick didn't speak and I was starting to get worried. He wasn't showing any emotion and that was scaring me. So I got up to talk to him." Nick." I called but he didn't respond and only clenched his jaw ." Nick." I called again and put a hand on his shoulder . He rudely shoved away my hand." Nick , atleast talk to m

Nick's POV" Uhh I will leave ." Without even waiting for my reply , Sophia started walking off .Stop her , she is leaving. Stop her dammit !My subconscious yelled but being the perfect idiot I am , I kept shut and watched her leaving. I know I have to talk to her , apologize to her and I will do it as soon as I return. But for now, I have to stay with Ethan. He needs me more right now.........." Nick , go home. I will stay with Ethan." Mom said as she came and sat down beside me." No Mom, I'll stay." I argued. Honestly I didn't want to leave Ethan." Nick , you have been sitting here since morning. Your Dad is here with me and Ethan is fine now. Just go home and take some rest." Looking at her stern eyes , I knew I wasn't going to win this. So I gave her a hug and left the hospital.Now that I was heading to home, I couldn't help but get nervous. I had seen the look of pure hurt on her fa
The Arranged Bride 30. Scared?
Nick's POVI drove back to my house at full speed.To say I was pissed at her was an understatement, but why? I deserved it.I had hurt her, insulted her so many times and she forgave me. Now that she gives it back to me, I can't handle it . Why ? I deserved to be given a taste of the medicine that I had given her.I shouldn't have come back like that. I should have pleaded until she gave in. But she must have been extremely hurt to say those words. Was she that mad at me? Now I really didn't know if I should approach her or not.Everything was so perfect between us. I had beautiful mornings with us having breakfast together and peaceful nights with her sleeping in my arms. Why did I have to ruin every fucking thing?Ughh ! I pulled my hair in frustration....................Getting ready, I rushed to the hospital. On entering, my eyes fell first on Ethan who was leaning on the inclined
The Arranged Bride 31. I Missed You.
Sophia's POV" Sophia , I don't think this is right."" Char, not again. " I whined. Since the time I told her that I was moving back, she was trying to convince me otherwise. She dislikes Nick a lot since the first time I told her what he had done and his recent outburst had fetched him a higher position in her bad book. Ryan too isn't fond of him but doesn't express it too much." I am not sure about it." Char folded her arms across her chest . She was looking genuinely upset." But I am. I told you why he behaved like that at the hospital. He wasn't thinking. Besides , I hurt him as well . " I tried reasoning. Whenever I remember, what I had told him , I can't help but feel guilty." But what about the things he did before?"" Char , seriously ? That was in the past. I told you ,he had his reasons and he had apologized for that. " I had given her a brief about Clara and Nick's past." I don't k
The Arranged Bride 32. I Refuse!
Sophia's POV" Okay, it's fixed then. ." Char said." Yeah , be ready by 5. Bye , Char." Just as I put my phone down, Caleb came in." Where to ?" He put a hand around my shoulder." Movie." I got up from the sofa to make two cups of coffee. He always prefers the coffee I make , every time he comes." Is it today?" He trailed behind me." Yup." He was silent for some seconds before asking his next question." And Char's coming?" I smiled to myself. How I saw this coming!" Yup." I said popping the ‘p’.He was again quiet for a very long time before speaking again." Mind if I crash ?" He scratched the back of his neck. I suggestively wiggled my eyebrows to which he blushed." Is little Caleb blushing?" I teased while handing him the coffee mug." Shut up." He looked embarrassed." Aww , you look so cute ." I made a baby face at him ." Cute ? You're calling me
