Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

"No! You don't love her!"

Everyone looked at her as she grabbed Daniel's arm and stomped her feet. 

I simply shook my head while watching her childish act. Maybe she's lucky tonight that I just happened to be Daniel's fake wife because I swear to God, I'll skin her alive. 

"Don't touch me! If you don't stop this act Miss Enriquez, I'll make sure to drop all the projects between our companies!"

"Huh?"

A loud gasp escaped her lips and she instantly dropped Daniel's arm. 

And with one last glare at her, he began to walk in my direction. I can feel the loud pounding of my c.h.e.s.t but I tried to keep my expression plain, as if I wasn't affected by what happened. 

But it changed when he suddenly took my hand and whispered in my ear. 

"We're going to talk." and he pulled me out of the venue without looking back at the other guests whispering something behind us. 

"What are you doing?" I asked gritting my teeth as I tried to take my hand from his grip. 

"Don't talk and just followed me." He replied in a lower voice. He didn't even stop walking. 

"Where are you taking me?"

"I said don't talk and just followed me!" I gasped when he glared at me. But I didn't listen to him and continued struggling to take my hand. 

"What the hell, Daniel?"

And then the next thing he did was something I didn't expect him to do. He pinned me on the nearest wall behind, held my both hands above my head and captured my lips in a hard and demanding kiss that sent shivers down my spine. I wanted to protest and push him away but the sensation brought me of his kiss abruptly ignited all my senses. 

He pressed me more against the wall and kissed me hard and hungrily that almost left me short of breath. His other hand was on my waist, holding me and bringing my body closer to him. It was like a scene from a movie in which a male lead character saw the love of his life and kissed her as if his life depended on it. 

My body didn't cooperate with my mind as I closed my eyes and responded to his kiss. I love the way he held me, the warmth of his lips flowing through my lips and down to the smallest vein of my sanity. I savoured the intensity of his kiss as it grew deeper, became more demanding and seeking response. 

We were both panting and gasping for air when he let me go. But he didn't say anything as he took my hand again and pulled me towards the parking lot. 

"Let's go!"

"Wait! What are you doing? I didn't come here with you, I'm with Bryan!"

"Do you think I care whoever was with you when you came here?" He asked glaring at me. Sarcasm was evident in his voice. "I have to get you out of here before Chloe says something that will put us in TV news tomorrow!"

"Why, do you think, after what she did, we won't be in the news tomorrow?"

"I know it will, but it's better that they saw us leave the venue together so they won't start thinking otherwise."

He opened the door on the passenger side and gestured me to get inside the car, but I remained standing and chuckled at him. 

"Why didn't you just send me the divorce papers so we don't have to pretend anymore?"

"Get in the car, Sophia. This is not the right place to talk about it

Although he didn't raise his voice, but the authority and seriousness were clear when he said those words. 

"I won't go with you. I'll just call Bryan and tell him to---"

"I said get in the car!"

I gasped when he suddenly raised his voice and was about to speak when a man in a white uniform came to our sight. I recognized him immediately when he spoke and glared at Daniel. 

"Mam Sophia, are you okay? Is this man bothering you?" He's Damian, one of my new hired bodyguards. 

"Ahmm... yeah, we're just---"

"Who are you and why do you care?"

I gulped when Daniel asked, forming his fists. He also stepped forward, narrowing his eyes on Damian. 

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Who are you and why are forcing her to get inside your car?"

-'Oh, God!'- Damian knows how to answer back. 

"You don't know what you're talking about, so you better get out of here and leave her to me!" Then he turned to me and took my hand as he opened the door widely. "Sophia, get in the car!"

But the next thing that Damian did was something didn't expect. He closed the door and grabbed my elbow as he tried to pull me away from Daniel. I know he was just protecting me and doing his job, so I can't blame him because he hasn't met Daniel yet. 

"No! She won't come with you!"

My eyes widened not because of the shock of what Damian did, but with Daniel's reaction when he saw him holding my arm. 

"Don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g touch my wife!" He screamed and I haven't even blinked my eyes when he pulled me behind him and punched Damian hard on his face that made my poor bodyguard stumble and fall to the ground. 

"Oh, my God!"

I couldn't form any words when Daniel tried to get Damian by his collar. 

"Your wife?" Damian asked in shock and confusion. 

"Yes, she's my wife! So don't ever lay your hands on her or I swear to God, I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you!"

"Hey, stop it, he's my bodyguard. He didn't know you."

I immediately grabbed Daniel's fist and hugged his waist to stop him from punching Damian again. I felt his body relaxed as he looked down at me. His eyes shows different emotions I can't even read. And before I could melt into his stares, I pulled back and turned to Damian. 

"Damian, I'm sorry. You can go back inside, I'll just call Bryan later and if he ever asks you about me, tell him I'm going with---"

"With your husband?" He asked not looking at me but to Daniel. 

"Yes, with my husband." I gulped as I nodded. 

"What's your f.u.c.k.i.n.g problem if I am her husband?"

"Please, Daniel, stop it!"

-'For goodness sake!'- I just mentally screamed when he yelled and they started throwing daggers again with each other. I swear, if looks could kill, I'm sure Damian is now buried six feet under the ground. 

"Let's go!"

He opened the door and waited for me to settle inside. He also buckled my seat belt like he always did a few weeks ago. 

I just let out a heavy sigh when he closed the door and headed towards the driver's seat. 

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

"Why did you bring me here?"

I asked him when he stopped in front of the gate of his house. 

But he ignored my question and told me things that were not related to it. 

"All your things we're still in my room."

I was shocked to know that he didn't remove my things in his room, but I ignored him and pretended I didn't hear what he said.

"I won't go inside." I said, unbuckling my seat belt before he pulled over to the garage. 

"You have no choice but to go inside or else you will sleep inside the car."

"Why did you bring me here? You could have just dropped me somewhere else, but why did you have to take me here?"

"Because I told you, we need to talk." He was about to open his side of the door but I grabbed his arm. 

"Why do you want to talk to me? If this is something about our marriage, then let's talk about it here so I can go home."

"But you're at home!"

I pulled my hand back when he raised his voice. 

"This is your home!"

My mouth hung open with his words. 

"This is not my home!" I said through gritted teeth. "Tell me, what do you want to tell me and why do we need to talk inside your house? As far as I remember, we have nothing to talk about------what the hell? Daniel!"

I just screamed as I didn't get the chance to finish what I was saying when he suddenly opened the door and got out of the car. 

He walked to the passenger side and opened the door for me. 

"Why did you----huh!" I gasped when he put his index finger over my lips. 

"If you keep on talking, I will kiss you and I'll make sure to give your sweet mouth a lesson, that you will never forget 'till the rest of your life."

I shut my mouth immediately and swatted his hand. I just balled my fists and took a long, deep breath when I noticed him smirked.
