CHAPTER 46

SOPHIA'S  POV :-

"But you can't...," I started speaking, but was stopped in between again when Chris again placed his lips on mine. He pulled me closer to him, making my breasts press hard against his chest. He took my one hand and placed it over his chest at the location of his heart, with his large hand wrapping my small one. I could clearly feel his heart beating rapidly, maybe at 120 beats per minutes. He broke the kiss, but was still holding my hand over his chest, making it fix on the same position,
"You see this is what you do to me. You don't know how much you affect me baby girl. Never ever dare to go away from me again or else I will drag you in my room and tie you to my bed, always making sure you are in front of me, safe and sound," he told and squeezed my hand which he was holding, but as he did it, I winced in pain, as I was cut there by the piece of glass, while trying to cut the rope. He realized that I was in pain and immediately started inspecting my hand carefully which was covered with dried blood,
"How did this happen?" He told calmly, but I can sense the anger in his tone.

"Umm. Actually as my hands were tied with a rope, I tried to cut it with a piece of glass and during the same process, my hand got cut with the same glass piece." I told him.

"Shit! What about this? Did someone hit you Sophia?" He asked me again, now inspecting my cheek, which I bet was red due to that hard slap. He started making circles on my red cheek with his thumb, trying to soothe it.

"Umm. One of them slapped me as I talked rubbish about him," I told him, looking at the ground.

He made me look up in his eyes, but pulling my chin up with his thumb and index finger.

"Sophia, tell me from the start, what the hell actually happened?" He commanded me sternly, not leaving any space for me to argue.

I was about to speak, when suddenly he interrupted me in between,
"Don't. Let's get you inside first and make you comfortable before you speak. And also clean and dress your wound too," he said and I just nodded in return, as I was really very thirsty and really needed some water.

He grabbed my other hand, which was not cut, in his large hand and started pulling me inside the house with him. When we finally reached inside, he helped me to carefully sit on the couch,
"Wait here. I will get you some water first," he said, as if reading my mind. I just nodded in agreement.

He went into the kitchen and then after a minute, came back to me and placed a glass of water in my hand, which I gladly took and drank the entire glass in one sip. Well, I didn't know I was that thirsty.

"Do you need more?" He asked me, but I shook my head in a no.

He nodded and then again went into the kitchen and this time returned with a first aid box in his hand. He sat besides me on the couch and started cleaning my wound. I winced in pain, when the sterilizer touched my open wound. Whenever I winced, he would also wince with me, as if it was he who got hurt. I couldn't help, but smile at the thought that he cares for me so much. I was so lost in staring at him that I didn't realise that he had already bandaged my wound after applying some disinfectant cream. After making sure that he had properly dressed my wound, he looked up at me and started speaking again,
"Now, tell me what actually happened? Speak from the very start Sophia. I want to know what that bitch actually did to you. She has signed her death warrant by her own hands." He told me in a low voice, but it was cold, as if he was trying to control his anger.

I told him everything that happened starting from the watchman knocking at his bedroom door to how I escaped from that trap of Kylie. I told him about what I said to that man, and was really feeling disgusted on myself, but he convinced me that it was not my fault, as there was no other option left for me. I even told him about Kylie's plan of killing me after she takes his entire wealth. He was not able to believe it, as he told me that Kylie had messaged him saying that she won't harm me, if he transfers all his wealth in her name. But I guess that greedy woman wanted both him and his wealth. But I still got scolded when I told him that I tried to make that man angry so that he would hit me with the bottle of alcohol. He was very angry at me, for trying to pull out such a dangerous stunt. He scolded me like I was a 5 year old child, who got caught while trying to eat too many chocolates. Though he was scolding me badly, I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction. This made him smile a little, but I could still see fear in his eyes, fear of losing me. Oh God! What good did I do to get this man in my life? I couldn't help, but smile at my own thoughts.

Wait! This man had to answer many questions first. I can't just let him go without clearing my doubts.

"If your interrogation is over, then I will like to start my own interrogation," I told him, which made him look at me with a serious face.

"What interrogation?" He asked me confused.

"First of all, why did you lie to me that Kylie broke up with you? She told me that it was you, who broke up with her. Secondly, why did you ask me to pretend as your fake girlfriend, when you yourself broke up with Kylie and didn't want to continue this relationship with her anymore?" I asked him, getting straight to the point and crossing my arms across my chest.

He squirmed in his position under my strong gaze and started scratching the back of his neck with his fingers,
"Umm.. I actually... umm lied to you that Kylie broke up with me and I want to get her back in my life. You remember that day when you were in the cafe when that old man had a heart attack, and you saved him by giving him a CPR?" He asked me and I just nodded my head in agreement, as I clearly remember that incident. I didn't speak anything, so he got the hint that he should continue,
"Well, actually I was also present in that cafe that day. I came there with Kylie to meet some of her friends. When I saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off you. You looked beautiful like a Goddess. But what attracted me more was your intelligence. You were true to the saying, 'beauty with brain'. I don't know why but I felt like I need to know you more. I can't just let you go like that. So when you left the cafe, I broke up with Kylie, giving her a stupid reason that I was fed up with her because she keeps calling me 'baby' and didn't want to continue that relationship anymore," he told me and I couldn't help but laugh at his lame excuse. But when he looked up at me, I stopped laughing and again made a serious gesture. So he got the hint to continue,
"And with that I left the cafe and started following you. I was so intrigued with you that I didn't really think at that time what actually was I doing. I just wanted a chance to know you more. And then the rest is history as you know," he told me giving me a cheesy smile. I couldn't stop myself from smiling in return. I immediately jumped in his arms and hugged him tightly like there was no tomorrow.
