"Will you marry me?", Sophia asked the stranger she just bumped into. "Sure. Let's go.", Daniel said extending his hand towards her asking her silently to hold it. ___________________________________ She was abandoned by her fiance right before their marriage. Sophia felt devastated and her family's and best friend's warning echoes in her mind. They told her he wasn't reliable but she was really blind to not see his true self. He was rushing to the venue, cursing himself for being too late. 'I can't live without her. Please God, help me.', he prayed for the very first time. Will Sophia regret her impulsive decision? How does he know her? How will she feel when she finds out the truth? This story is about two souls who were destined to be together. Join Sophia and Daniel on their journey of creating a happy family, fighting alongside eachother against the demons of their past and present.
Daniel can survive with his one-sided love in this marriage for life if she never reciprocates his feelings but he would not let her leave him under any condition and he had made it clear before she married him that day.
"Boss, you didn't read the message?" Joe was left speechless at Daniel's outburst. He was expecting him being a bit surprised and not just angry but his words said something else.
"What I read was enough to write their death certificates." Daniel doesn't care about anything else. You mess with his wife and you die.
"No information was leaked about your marriage boss. It looked like madam knows about the intrusion in her database and she manipulated it as per her choice." Joe's words gave Daniel a reality check and he was left speechless. Then he smiled knowing his queen can protect herself.
"Of course, she knows. Do you think my wife can't even handle such things." Daniel was booming with pride and his words were the perfect reflection of his feelings that he felt inside hearing the news. Joe rolled his eyes as his boss couldn't see it anyways. He was really tongue-tied at Daniel's shamelessness.
"Boss, can you guess who she asked for help?", Joe said and Daniel went quiet.
"What do you mean?" Daniel was confused hearing his question.
'You should have read the message then.' Joe said to himself but didn't dare to voice it out. "The hacker, Queen001." Joe said and Daniel was taken aback by the news. He was truly surprised that Sophia knew the top hacker on the hacker's platform. Queen001 has left all the hackers crying without tears when she defeated them effortlessly during the contest three years ago.
Daniel himself is a hacker but he too can't say for sure if he could defeat Queen001 or not as he truly admired her skills and acknowledged her strength. In fact, he was really lacking behind in some fields. Sophia knew such a formidable figure; this information was a happy one as now he knew that she has an extra protection shield.
"My wife is amazing, I know. You don't have to point it out." Daniel wanted to go and hug Sophia right now. He was so thrilled knowing how good connections she has for her safety. He never even thought about asking her how she knew Queen001.
"Even though she wasn't successful this time still, keep an eye on Tracy as I don't want her to create new problems for Sophia." Daniel was still angry with what Tracy did. He won't let her go just because Sophia was able to sabotage her plan and beat her in her own game.
"Got it, Boss." Joe said and Daniel hung up the phone.
Daniel walked out of the study and walked towards the garden area. He saw Sophia walking there while talking on her phone.
Sophia was talking to Noah and she didn't notice Daniel coming towards her. Daniel came near her and gave her a back hug. Sophia was surprised as first but when she smelled the familiar cologne of Daniel she relaxed in his arms and this simple action of hers, that came subconsciously, thrilled Daniel.
He would have let go if she felt uncomfortable but seeing Sophia relax in his embrace was exhilarating for him. He took a deep breath and nudged his nose in the nape of her neck.
Sophia smiled feeling his movements and she put her idle hand on his that were entwined around her belly.
"If Mom and Dad tell me otherwise then I will ask Daniel to not get you anything in future." Sophia threatened Noah as she was quite sceptical if he was being obedient or not. He has a mischievous side of his and that sometimes created headache for Anna and Edward. So, Sophia was trying to tell him not to trouble their parents much.
"I got it Sophia. You don't have to worry. I am studying well and I have even aced my first individual project in my internship." Noah proudly announced his achievements to his sister so that he can get her appreciation.
"Well done. I am proud of you." Sophia was truly happy for her brother. Daniel pulled her towards himself more and bit her neck to get her attention.
Sophia cried out a little in pain subconsciously and Noah asked her, "What happened Sophia? Are you okay?" Noah was worried for his sister.
Daniel was now sucking the same place he kissed. He was going with his instinct and as Sophia didn't push him so he got more bold with his actions. Sophia turned her neck instinctively, giving him more access.
"I am fine. I just hit the table. I will talk to you later." Sophia said to Noah trying to make her voice sound normal. Noah was a bit worried but believing her words he hung up after asking her to take care of her.
"What are you doing? Noah was on the phone." Sophia whisper yelled at Daniel. She suppressed her moans. Daniel looked at the artwork he made on her neck and feeling satisfied he kissed her there once before turning her towards himself and holding her around her waist.
Sophia kept her hands on his chest and looked at him with her blushing face. Daniel chuckled seeing her red cheeks and he bent down a little, coming near her ears he whispered, "So, if you are not on the phone then I can do anything."
Sophia shuddered feeling his hot breath on her ears and her hands clenched the shirt he was wearing. Her breathing became erratic and she felt like her face was radiating heat right now.
"Umm?" Daniel blew his breath on her earlobe as he could see his effect on her.
"Maybe." Sophia was feeling different but she was liking whatever emotions she was undergoing right now. Her answer surprised Daniel so much that he looked at her with widened eyes. He was expecting her to say something like 'No. Nothing like that.' or 'Don't spout nonsense.'
But her bold reply left him speechless. He put his forehead against hers and closed his eyes to control himself as he knows that she is not ready yet.
