Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

"Nothing happened between us----"

"The hell I care! I didn't come here to listen to you and I don't care whether you banged her or you banged each other, I don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g care! You said we're not a couple and I was just your fake wife, so I have no right to interfere, right? I just came here to give you this!" I waved the divorce application in front of him. 

"No!" He shook his head. 

"I am a person with one word, Mr. Kelley. I have already signed it, so all you have to do is sign your name and file it in court, and that's it! You're finally free from this marriage and finally free from this agreement!"

I took his hand when he refused to take it from me. 

"Once it is granted, you will never see me in your life again!" I was about to turn around but I remembered one thing. "By the way, I will never take a single centavo from you, or even the smallest thing that you gave me! Goodbye, Mr. Kelley!"

The moment I turned around, it's also the moment that tears started to flow down. I covered my mouth and tried to stifle my sobs, but they were so stubborn like me. 

"Sophia!"

I heard him call behind me but I didn't look back, instead, I ran towards the elevator but stopped when Andrew came out. 

"Hey, what happened?" Shock and confusion were written on his face but I just ignore him by entering the lift and immediately press the button, down to the bas.e.m.e.nt where my car was parked. 

It was so lucky for me that no one entered the lift until I reached the bas.e.m.e.nt parking lot. 

His words from last night still linger on my head and were added to the pain that my heart feels at the moment. It cuts deeply, but what I saw slices my heart into pieces, not enough to die, but enough to feel the pain and feel the scream inside. 

It's hard to fight for something----no, for someone that you know is wrong and not meant to be yours from the very beginning. But do you know what hurts the most? It is when you learned that you love that someone and made you believe that he feels the same, but in the end, you will realize that you just expect for nothing. 

End of flashback...

"That's all!" I shrugged as I wiped the tears that keeps on running down my face. 

He didn't utter any words so I turned to look at him only to see him frowning and balling his fists. 

"You won't come back to his house again, Sophia!" He said clenching his teeth. 

"Don't worry, because even if you don't tell me such a thing, I will never see him again."

"Just make sure, because I swear to kill him the next time we see each other!"

I couldn't help but chuckle with his words. 

"You don't have to do that for me, Bryan. It's enough that you believed and you supported me from the very beginning. You helped and you stayed by my side without asking anything in return."

"It's because you are my sister, even if not by blood but in my heart you are my little sister."

"Argh!" I glared at him when he messed up my hair, but he just chuckled at me. 

"I'm serious, Sophia. I can't stop your heart from loving him, but I will stop you from being a fool and stupid over him!"

"And do you think loving him is not a kind of foolishness or stupidity?" I asked in a sarcastic tone. "If I had known that falling in love was a mistake, I should have stopped myself from loving the wrong person."

"Falling in love is not a mistake and it's not wrong to love a person so much. Sometimes, the only thing wrong is the person you love, maybe he isn't ready to catch you."

He smiled at me, tapping my shoulder as he stood up. 

"You should get ready. I'll take you to work."

My eyebrows knitted. "You don't have to be a super brother for me today, I can do it on my own."

"Tell that to my ass!"

"Bryan!"

"I know you can but I want to do it, so go and get yourself up."

I just sighed as I watched him walk towards the door, but he turned around before he could open it. 

"Anyway, is it okay with you if Aira go with us to your studio?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Okay, we will wait for you in the dining room."

Then he closed the door after I nodded.

Daniel's POV:

Flashback... 

I was in the shower when I heard the doorbell ringing and because I didn't know I was not alone in my suite, I just pulled the towel and wrapped it around my waist. I didn't bother to wipe my face and let the water trickle out of my hair. 

I left my room without having the slightest idea who was on the other side of the door. But since I was busy scanning my new emails and messages on the phone, I didn't notice that the door was already open. 

"Oh, God!"

I raised my head and followed where the voice came from only to be shocked when I recognized the two women standing on the door frame.  Chloe was also wearing a towel like me and Sophia who's looking at me with wide eyes. 

-'F.u.c.k!'-  I muttered to myself when she almost lost her balance. "Sophia."

I tossed my phone on the couch as I ran towards her and tried to hold her hands but she swatted my hand took a step back. 

"Sophia, it's not what you think it is." I said shaking my head. I don't know how to explain these things to her and I don't know that Chloe is here. "Sophia, please----"

But my words were cut when she laughed at me. 

"Explain? Why do you want to explain?" She asked, looking at me straight in the eye. 

"I know you were thinking something else with what you saw, but I'm telling you----"

"Why? What did I see? I didn't see anything except that you both wore only a towel, both dripping and slept in one room and one bed. But other than that, I didn't see----"

"No, we didn't sleep in one room, Sophia."

"And you want me to believe you?"

I nodded but she laughed again. I really wanted to touch her and tell her it's just nothing, but I don't know how will I start. 

"Tell me, Mr. Kelley, why should I let you explain? Why should I give you the same thing that you refused to give me the time I asked you for?"

"Sophia, please?"
