3 WEEKS LATER*
Sofia sighed deeply remembering that Luis would be there any moment soon.
“Goodnight ma” She bowed.
“Goodnight love” Her boss said as they parted ways.
She sat in front of the pub lost in thought.
She heard a horn snapping her out of the thought.
“Sofi” Luis waved smiled.
He was the one behind the wheel not Carlos. She went into the car.
“I’ve thought long and hard about it” She said making Luis look at her.
She gulped down. “I haven’t fulfilled my dreams yet so the contract would have to hold on…for now”.
“What do you want, Sofi?”
“I want to go for my masters and become a lawyer” She replied.
“Cool, I’ll support you” He said.
“What?”
“Go for it, Miss Sofi” He smiled handsomely before driving off.
TWO YEARS LATER*
“Carlos” She smiled as he opened the car’s door for her.
“Be a gentleman and hold my hand” She said extending an hand.
“Boss might chop off my hand” He chuckled. She winked.
She alighted from the car. “Lead the way, gentleman” She smiled.
“My lady” He said. They did an high five.
“When did you two become close?” Luis asked from the door with his hands tuck in his pocket glaring daggers at Carlos.
“Goodbye” Carlos bowed and left.
Sofia chuckled. “Miss Sofia Law” He smiled.
She gushed at the name. “Law” She muttered walking towards him.
“Miss Sofi” He smiled as she wrapped her arm around his.
“How does it feel like to back?” He asked serving her.
“Sir Lopez Chef” She said.
“Gosh” He muttered as he sat down.
“It sure feels nice to be back after been away for two years” She said.
“I’m sure you made a lot of friends and went to parties, late night parties to be precise” He said. She choked.
“You sure know me, Sir Lopez” She teased.
“Let’s dig in” He said.
CAMILA’S PLACE*
“Hi love” She smiled immediately Sofia appeared on the screen.
“Hi cam, how’re you?”
“Fine and u?”
“Great and I miss you so much”.
“You’re back after two years and you haven’t come to visit” Camila said.
“I’m so sorry, love”.
“Who is love?” Luis asked walking to where Sofia was.
“I’ll call you back,Cam!” She giggled. She hung up.
“That sounded masculine” Camila muttered.
“There’s no way she’s in a relationship” She scoffed.
LUIS MANSION*
“Who is love?” He took her phone from her.
“Camila” He muttered looking at her call log.
“Give it back” She took the phone from him.
“Should we go out for dinner?” He said.
“I forgot you ask you about the contract”
“What contract?”
“The..you know…the.marriage contract” She muttered.
“Do you want to give me a chance?”
She gave a nod.”Why?” He asked.
“You’ve always been there for me and that all I want in a partner so I wanna give you a trial” She said.
He chuckled.”Wait Sir Lopez,are you perhaps turning red?” She teased.
“No way, I can never turn red” He said.
“I can make you turn red, Sir Lopez” She smiled.
“And I can make you scream my name out loud” He teased.
“Holy shit” She muttered in shock.
“So I’ll return the favour if you make me turn red” He said.
She spanked his arm making him gasp.
“Sofi!”
“It’s never happening, so snap out of it” She said cat walking out of the room.
He smiled staring at her seductive figure.
Chapter 7 : Negotiating Boundaries
“Here Boss” Carlos handed him a file.
“Miss Sofi” Luis handed the file to her.
She went through it and looked at him closing the file.
“Let’s negotiate” She said.
“Sure, Miss Sofi law” He smiled.
“I want to add more terms” She said. Luis gave a nod.
“First, we won’t share a room” She said making Luis eyes widened.
“Wait, were you expecting us to share a room?” She asked.
“Not at all” He said. Carlos smiled shooking his head.
“He hates lies but here he is lying” Carlos thought.
“Once it’s 8 pm don’t bother coming home, just stay wherever you are, I can’t stay up waiting for someone who is older than me” She taunted.
“And never for once should you look touch or look at me in some certain kind of way” She smirked.
“Are you sure you wouldn’t want that in the future?” Luis smirked.
“Dream on” She replied.
“I hope you’ll remember this day” He said.
“Here darling” She handed the file to Carlos.
Luis was already tensed up at the name ‘DARLING’…. He glared at Carlos….If looks could kill he’d be under the ground now….
Sofia smiled.
FEW DAYS LATER***
“Why didn’t you go through the file before signing?” Luis asked.
“There’s no need for that” She handed him the file to him.
“Your darling isn’t here today” He looked away.
“Was about to ask of him,Jealous oldie” She taunted.
He looked at her.”Oldie?” He said.
“You sure look younger than your age but you can’t lie about your age” She said.
“Ok, youngster” He said.
“I want a simple wedding, Sir Lopez” She said.
“Sure” He smiled wiping his wine.
Only Carlos ,Camila and the priest were present in the church.
“Where are his parents?” She thought.
“You look beautiful” He whispered as they walked down the aisle.
After they exchanged vows and rings, the problem started when they were asked to kiss.
“Sir Lopez” She muttered.
“Sofi” He said.
“Couple” The priest said.
“Kiss!”
“Kiss!”
“Kiss!” Camila and Carlos slapped in unison.
“Shall we?” Sofia muttered.
“Sofi,Should we just skip this?”
“How?”
“Watch me” He smiled.
He removed his suit and covered their heads with it.
“Good idea” She smiled.
“I’m sure they think we’re being shy and that why we covered our faces” He said.
“I’ll lift it after a while so just look like we kissed” He smiled.
Sofia slowly leaned in and claimed his lips.
His eyes widened, he slowly closed his eyes as he cupped her cheeks reciprocating the kiss.
Chapter 8 : An Unexpected Marriage
Sofia groaned as the ray of the sun hit her face.
“Good morning, Mrs Lopez” Luis sat beside her.
“Why are you doing in my room?” She mumbled.
“What did you say?” He asked calmly.
“Nothing, Just get out already” She covered herself with the duvet.
“My Sofi is becoming clever” He stood up from the bed.
He pulled the duvet off her body.
“Fvck You” She showed him her middle fingers.
He chuckled laying beside her on the bed.
“I’m ready” He whispered in a deep and sexy voice.
Her eyes fled open.”Get out already” She pushed him away.
“Come downstairs for breakfast” He said leaving the room.
“Why didn’t you tell me before coming?” She hissed.
“When did I need to seek permission before coming?” Predo replied.
“And why are you here?”
“To see you of course” Predo gave her a flirty smile.
“Look here, I don’t have any money to give you so get lost” She said sitting in front of her mirror.
“Who said I was here for money?”
“Then what are you here for?”
“I must say that bathrobe looks good on you” He smirked.
“Wait, Don’t tell me to came all the way here for that” She scoffed.
“Why so angry?” He got up from the bed.
“Don’t come any closer” She warned.
He carried her and throw her on the bed making her chuckle.
He hovered above her and crashed his lips hungrily against hers.
All the staffs bowed in respect as Sofia walked into the building.
She waved at them with Carlos in front of her leading her to Luis office.
He bowed opening the office door for her.
“Sir Lopez” She smiled but her smile fell when she met him yelling at some of his employees.
He turned to the door and saw her there.
“Get lost” He said.
They ran out of his office in fear.
“Sofi” He muttered walking to her.
Carlos bowed and left.
“What was that?” She asked.
“I was angry” He muttered.
“But you shouldn’t have yelled at them like that” She walked to his desk and sat on his seat.
He smiled. “That’s rude of you, Sofi” He walked towards her.
“What?”
“Sitting on my seat without permission, you could get punished for that” He said.
“Really?” She smiled.
He gave a nod. She placed her legs on his desk and he looked at her.
“Oh sorry” She smiled crossing her legs on his desk.
“Well don’t blame me for this” He smiled.
“What?”
He crashed his lips against hers.
Predo opened the door and there was a girl in her very revealing outfit.
“Wow” He mumbled.
She bit her finger seductively looking at him.
He pulled her in.
The couples were having dinner.
“Goodbye” The servants bowed.
“Goodbye” Sofia smiled.
“We’re attending a party this weekend” Luis finally broke his silence.
“Party?”
“Yeah”
“Sure” She winked at him and he chuckled.
Camila was busy smoking when a guy approached her.
“Hi” He smiled.
“Hi” She smiled back.
“You look hot” He placed his hand on her thigh.
She smiled. “What’s your price?” He asked.
She told him her price. “Cool” He said.
She got up from the couch and held his hand.
“Come with me” She said biting her lips seductively.
Chapter 9 : Adjusting to Married Life
Camila woke up the next morning but she couldn’t find the guy next to her.
“Where is he?” She muttered opening the bathroom’s door.
“Wait!, Did he leave without paying me?” She muttered.
“I swear I’mma break his bones the day I set my eyes on him”
She smiled opening the door but it fell when she saw Predo at her doorstep.
“Hi bae” Predo smiled.
“What are you doing here?” She asked.
Julie is Predo’s girlfriend.
“Why so angry?” He muttered.
“Are you done f**king around?, Just get out of here” She said.
“I’m sorry, I promise to change” He got on his knees.
Her eyes stung with tears. “Predo” She muttered.
“I promise to change” He said.
“I’m sorry Predo, I’ve moved on” She said.
His eyes widened at her words.
“One more chance, Julie” He pleaded.
“That’d be the fifth chance, Predo, sorry I can’t” She sniffed.
She moved backwards. “Don’t ever come here” She went in.
Luis stood up by the stairs base waiting for Sofia.
He looked at his wrist watch.”Why is she taking so long?” He muttered.
He looked up when he heard the sound of her heels.
“Beautiful” He mumbled.
“Mrs Lopez” He bowed and spread out his palm.
She gently placed her hand on his. “You look handsome” She complimented.
“You look stunning” He smiled.
“Thanks” She smiled.
“Do you need something to drink?” Luis asked.
“Red wine”
“Excuse me” He said to a server.
“Thank you” He took a glass of wine for her.
The server bowed and walked away. “Here” He placed the glass close to her lips.
“What are you doing?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Why so shameless?” She took the glass from him and he smiled.
Sofia was already tipsy due to her high intake of wine.
“Sofia” Someone tapped on her shoulder, and she turned.
“Cameron” She smiled.
Cameron was her classmate in school.
“Long time” He hugged her.
Luis watched at a distance, He was talking with some people.
“No see, How have you been?” She smiled.
“Very well and you?”
“Rollercoaster” She chuckled.
“What are doing here?” He asked.
“I came with my-
“I’m her husband” Luis wrapped his arm around her tiny waist.
She smiled drunkenly.
“He doesn’t look like Predo” Cameron faced her.
“We broke-
“I’m her husband, simple and short” Luis said icily.
Sofia looked at him, she could sense that he was already getting angry.
If looks could kill this guy named Cameron would be six feet below the ground already.
“I’mma take my leave” He said.
“Okay” She made to hug him.
But Luis pulled her back and smiled at her.
Cameron stared at them completely lost in thought.
“Are you in search of something?” Luis asked.
“Of course not” He chuckled and left.
“I knew this was bound to happen when you wore this goddamn revealing dress” He mumbled.
He held her wrist, pulling her out of the place.
“Sir Lopez…”
“Just shut it and let’s leave here quietly” He said.
Chapter 10 : Tension and Turmoil
“let go” Sofia said drunkenly.
“Just shut it!”
she stopped on her tracks and he let go of her hand.
“Get in the car” He said.
She didn’t move an inch, she just stare at him.
“Get in and let’s leave here” He said.
“Say please” She said.
He was surprised, he opened and closed his mouth like a fish.
“Sofi, let’s go already” He said.
“Come take me then” She folded her arms under her b**bs.
He walked to her,and opened the car door.
“Get in, I won’t repeat myself” He shot.
“I’m not your puppet, Mr man” She muttered entering the car.
His heart sank at her words.
Immediately, Luis turned off the car’s engine.
Sofia came out, she went into the mansion without looking back or even saying a word to him.
“I guess I was too harsh on her” He muttered.
“Sofi” He knocked on her room’s door.
“Sofi”.
“Sofi”.
“Go away” She said.
He sighed deeply before going into his room.
“Sofi !” He knocked on the door with a tray in his hand.
“Breakfast in bed” He smiled to himself.
He knocked for a while but there was no response.
He held the door knob and twisted it.
The door wasn’t locked as he assumed.
He went in but Sofia wasn’t there.
“This woman” He muttered.
He kept on calling her line but she didn’t pick up.
She has switched off her phone now.
Luis was so worried that he didn’t leave for work, he asked Carlos to search for her.
“9pm” He muttered looking at his wrist.
His phone rang, it was Carlos he quickly picked it up.
📞: (LUIS) Have you found her yet?
📞:(CARLOS) Not yet boss.
📞: (LUIS) You’ve tried already, you can go home. Thank you and good night.
📞: (CARLOS) Goodnight boss.
Luis hung up, the door opened, there was a drunk Sofia.
She kept on staggering back and forth.
Luis rushed to her and held her.
“Sir Lopez….Why can’t you just say please?” She asked drunkenly.
“You know….I was expecting you to apologize last night but you didn’t” She said.
“You said to go away”
“Don’t you know that all I wanted was an apology but you just kept on knocking, knocking, knocking and knocking” She said.
“Where have you been?” He asked.
“I went to the pub, I worked at” She said.
“You shouldn’t have drank so much” He said.
“You’re….so….so….un….romantic !” She spat.
“Sofi….” He trailed.
“Goodnight!” She yelled.
She went upstairs, Luis stood there with a smile on his face.
“I hope you’ll be able to accept my apology” He smiled.
She slammed her room’s door loudly.
“Gosh, She might destroy the poor door” He tuck his hand in his pants and went upstairs.
~SOFIA’S ROOM~
Luis opened the door with a smile on his charming face.
She was sleeping peacefully.
“Doesn’t she expernice hangover?” He inserted his hands in his formal pants.
He sat beside her stroking her hair gently, staring at her with affectionate eyes.
“Water” She muttered.
He got a glass of water from the little table beside her bed.
He gave her a little.
“More” She mumbled.
He poured some into his mouth and kissed her.
Her eyes slowly opened, it widened immediately.
“That’s my apology” He smiled.
“Why did you kiss me?” She asked.
“I was trying to be romantic” He smiled.
“Let’s do it this way,amateur” She pulled him closer by his collar and claimed his lips.
