His body was tense and rigid and so was his mind. He was thinking of every possibility as to why his brother was here, with his wife. He should have a talk with him and the fact that Salah had followed Sofia to her university was making him angry. What was he trying to imply? And what was he trying to show him?

Xander clenched his jaw so tight, his teeth rattled. With fire blazing eyes, he gazed at his brother who was pretending not to see them as he scrolled on his phone and then looked down at his wife. She was so silent, so still while he hugged her that it made him think she was asleep. He lifted his hand and slipped it under her scarf before caressing her hair softly. The scowl vanished and a smile grazed his lips as she snuggled closer to him.

He was thankful that she was okay and needed to take her home. When he heard that something was happening at the university on radio, he panicked and almost got himself in to an accident by pressing the accelerator of the car. Xander sighed and looked down at her yet again.

"Let's get you home." He softly stated. He felt her nod as her face moved in his chest and slightly pulled back. Sofia's eyes were red as she had cried a lot and she tucked her bird's nest like hair under the scarf with trembling hands. Xander frowned and lifted his hand to move her hair back. He tucked them behind her ears and set her scarf over her head as she looked off in space. He understood that she was in shock and was quite terrified so he didn't ask her anything.

Xander just pulled her hand and walked her towards the car. But before they could even reach the black Mustang, they were swarmed by flash lights and yells pierced their ears. Sofia gasped and jumped closer to him as the reporters attacked them like hungry wolves, throwing useless questions their way. Panicking, Xander encased her tiny waist in his arm and scowled at the paparazzi. Where did they come from? They rarely bothered him and he didn't want that rare moment to be now.

"Mr. Loretti what will you say about the incident?"

"Is it true that you and Sofia cheated on Salah Loretti?" 

"Mrs. Loretti were you in a relationship with Salah Loretti three months ago?"

"Why did Mr. Salah disappeared?"

"Is it true that you're pregnant with Xander Loretti's baby?"

"Is your marriage a business contract?"

"Are you dating both brothers at the same time?"

Xander growled low in his throat as he tugged Sofia closer and felt her trembling in his arm. She hid her face in his chest and her harsh breathing made him want to punch everyone there. He glared at the hungry reporters and snapped at them.

"Move!" He demanded, stepping forward but they only got closer. His face heated and it definitely would be red if he was able to look at himself. The anger that he felt had him clenching his fists so tight that his short nails dug in his palms. "I said move!!" He yelled, not caring if his angry face would be on front page of newspaper tomorrow. How did the news about her and Salah in a relationship got leaked?

The people moved but not enough for them to pass. He didn't care if he was being unethical and bumped them in their shoulders and shoved their cameras away as he took his wife towards the car. If he had known about this, he would have brought bodyguards with him. Sofia was scared and humiliated as she heard those things from their mouths. She didn't move an inch as Xander opened the door and shoved her inside, gently of course. 

She wrapped her arms around herself and licked her dried lips as he shut the door and walked towards his side but the paparazzi banged on her side of window making her jump in surprise.

"Mrs. Loretti what is your statement on your relationship with Xander Loretti?"

"Why did you marry Xander Loretti?"
