Chapter 41: Chapter 41

Sophie POV:-

I entered my room absolutely stunned about what had just happened. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, my face was deep red. I put a hand over my heating cheek as I took deep breaths to calm my thumping heart. I touched my lips as a smile crept upon them. This was so affectionate. My eyes bore into his as I lost myself in those raven pools of endearment.

The feeling of fondness and the tenderness of his touch, they made me feel butterflies in my stomach. A fluttering happiness took over me when he said those sweet words. I never liked this before, what happened to that feeling of abhor?

I feel so attached to him. He is evoking such sensations in my heart that I can't control myself and couldn't help but ... to fall for him. He is inducing the emotions of amor in me, painting the colors of love inside me while pulling me close to him. Now I want to go away with him, get lost in each other as this moment never comes again but also never pass and turn into a memory. I want this moment to stop and not let the morning come.

It's not my fault for all those days, he tried to fix when he was done, he tried to be as sweet as possible, he tried so hard to eradicate that memory. He devoted himself for my sake, for my insurance. He introduced me to myself. He told me things that no one did. I am losing myself in him. My heart seeks him, today I realize that I can't live without him and it feels like somewhere in his heart; he felt this too.

I asked for one dream but he gave me millions.

Can I forget what he did to me and turn this relation of ours in a sacred bond and an ultimate source of gratification? Can I ignite the flares of love in his heart?

A shiver went down my spine when he said; that only leaves love. Meaning he is willing to make himself be able to love just for me. That thought is filling my heart with content.

He burned those papers, releasing me from those shackles that are binding me to be away from him. Now we are normal husband and wife.

'I will suck this poison out from your very soul'

Seems like slowly but you are sucking this out but at the same time, giving me a new toxic emotion; Love...

Two Days Later:-

"Dear, please try to understand, I did that to make him realize that he is nothing without you." Mother tried to explain because I don't know what time. After every five minutes Mother began to say that she is sorry and all, why don't she understand that I am not angry at her, she must have her reasons but I need time to swallow the fact that I am not aware of myself for the first 21 years of my life. I can never be angry at her.

"I know." I said coldly staring at the ground. My phone ran and a smile appear on my face when I saw it's Christian,

"Hello." I spoke softly.

"Hey. Is Aunt home?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Damn, I am in the garden.. again."

"Again!?" I almost shouted, gaining Mother's attention. Good, now she is listening to my talk.

"Who is it?" Mother asked.

"It's Candice, my friend from Amber One, She broke her phone again." I explained calmly as Mother nodded.

"Yeah, hello?"

"When did I become Candice? By the way, you are quick at making excuses." He complimented.

"I know." I replied.

"So.. what do we do?"

"Go home." I said as if it was obvious but it seems he has other plans.

"Come on, it's been two days. And I have no intentions of going back without meeting you." He whined as I sighed at his behaviour.

"So, what are you gonna do now?"

"Distract Aunt, I'll wait for you in your room." He said as I gasped.

"Are you out of your mind!?" I almost yelled at him.

"Maybe. Or else, I don't mind barging through the door and pulling you into a kiss in front of her." I bet he must be smirking when saying this. I felt my cheeks heating up when I heard it.

"We'll do the first one." I said as I cut the call. I turned to Mother and took a hold of her hand and took her to the kitchen, she was perplexed by my action.

"Mother, cook pancakes for me." I said giving her puppy eyes. She looked at me for a second but then smile,

"Okay.." She said as I cheered and sat on the counter and began to watch her preparing the batter. As she was doing it she suddenly said,

"If your friend's phone broke, how did she call you?" Ops.

"Oh, that was her brother's number, she gave it to me in case of any emergency.. you know." I said monotonously. Christian, what the hell are you making me do?!

"Now we will leave the batter for 30 minutes."

"Oh, Okay, I am going to my room to take a bath. Call me whenever they are ready." I said as she nodded and I left for my room.

I stood outside my room and my heart skipped a beat, what if Christian went to a wrong room? And what if he is inside the room? Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door opened and saw Christian sitting on the bed with a smile,

"Hey." He waved at me.

"Don't 'hey' me. How did you know this is my room?" I scolded him

"Stacy told me." "What if she told mother?" I panicked. "Don't worry, she won't." he reassured.

I narrowed my eyes and put a hand on my waist as I looked at him,

"You're... unbelievable Christian" I sighed.

"I know, right?" He seemed so happy about it.

"Why are you here in the first place?" I asked.

"Oh, come on, am I not allowed to meet my wife~" His voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Besides, I want to feel the excitement of this forbidden relation Aunt made." He said joyously.

"What?" I couldn't believe him.

"I am a decade younger than you and I am more mature than you."

"That's why you're boring." He teased. Is this guy for real!?

"Anyways, I am here to make you call my name so that Aunt can know that I am here." He said standing up and taking a step closer.

"I don't know about calling Christian but I can surely call you a thief." I smirked. He laughed a little and walked closer.

We stood in front of each other and he engulfed me in a hug as I was surprised.

"I missed your warmth." He said hugging me tighter. I closed my eyes to feel his warmth too. I felt so.. safe. "You are so small. It seems like I can crush you in my arms." He laughed as I pushed him away with a pout.

"It's not my fault that you are a giant." I retorted. He smiled and began to say,

"Sophie, I am here to tell you something." I hummed in response as he walked closer again and held my hand this time,

"Tomorrow... I'll take you back with me. Tomorrow, we will start our lives anew."
