Chapter 1
Sophia breathes in satisfactorily as she rubs her palm over her chest cupping her bosom softly as the warm water from the shower cascades down her naked body.
She reached out to pick up her towel and dry herself as she proceeded out of the bathroom.
She froze suddenly as she stepped out and met a tall thickly built man sitting on her bed backing her.
Who are you and how did you break in here ?! Sophia shouted in fear, her heart beating so fast she could hear and dance to the rhythm.
The man turned and gave her a blank expression, the face looked familiar to her like someone she had seen somewhere before but she couldn't tell who he was.
Breaking into private property can land you in jail.
I can call the cops right now, She said with a firm voice daring him to test her resolve.
Am Logan Kratos, CEO of the Kratos group of companies the intruder replied as he moved closer to Sophia which made her take a few steps back in fear.
Why are you in my room and how did you get in here ??!!, her heart races fast as her confidence melts into fear.
Your Dad let me in, He said I should come to introduce myself to you in your room, Am your Fiance and we will be getting married in some months.
You must be crazy!! I don't even know you. Then you come in here now with a fake identity claiming to be my fiance. Who do you think you are?
Sophia raised her hand to slap Logan but her loosely tied towel fell to the floor immediately leaving her stark naked. She was shocked and tried to cover herself up with her hands over her breast but it was not enough.
Logan looked at her naked figure from head to toe, his eyes mapping every inch of her body, he walked up to her, a smirk on his face as he closed the gap between them.
He then used his index finger to raise her chin and he said.
You don't need to cover up for me, there's not much to hide, your breasts are barely the size of my fist and besides you will be married to me soon, He pronounced the word marriage with much bitterness and anger, which made him clench his fist and jaws simultaneously.
Married? To you? What are you even talking about? She asked.
Dress up and come downstairs, your parents and I will be waiting for you.
Logan said as he left the room and proceeded downstairs leaving Sophia in shock and confusion.
Dad never told me about any marriage of any sort. what if….
She stood frozen for a moment, her pupils darting all over her eyeballs while her mind raced.
As the door closed behind Logan, she rushed over, grabbed her phone with trembling hands, and dialed her father's number, her heart pounding in her chest.
Hello Dad, An intruder broke into my room a few minutes ago, checked the security cameras, and informed the guards he was heading downstairs, she said all that in a sentence.
Calm down Sophia, An old masculine voice replied from the phone, That's Logan Kratos, CEO of the Kratos group of companies, also the richest man of his age, he's your fiance and you are getting married in a few months.
Haha, You must be joking Dad.
Am not joking Sophia, Dress up pretty now and come join us for dinner downstairs, Your Husband to be is waiting for you too, Jonathan said as he hung up without waiting for her reply.
That was the only word Sophia could utter as she felt numb the moment her father confirmed the information. How could she get married now?? She's just 23 and she doesn't even know anything about the man other than see his name in the Forbes list.
She asked herself thousands of questions as she went through her luxurious wardrobe, the shock and confusion clouding her sense of judgment making her not know what to wear.
Is Dad pulling a prank on me?
Did Mom know about these?
Is he marrying me off to the billionaire for more money?
Maybe Dad is in debt? But does that warrant me being used as collateral for financial aid?
Getting married in a few months, without knowing my fiance or anything that's the craziest thing I have ever heard or witnessed on this earth and to make it spicy it's happening to me.
Sophia was lost in a galaxy of confusion and questions, she later settled for a nice red satin slip dress and glossy lipstick, she made her hair into a bun as she slipped out of her room and proceeded downstairs.
If there's anything she's certain of tonight, it is she will not succumb to her Father's order this time. She won't Marry Logan no matter what the circumstances or situation may be.
She got downstairs and her doubts were confirmed when she met the man seated across from her father. He looks handsome and hot but his aura is too cold and his expression looks like he's hiding some pain.
Sophia's heart pounds hard as she settles on a seat nearest to her father and across from Logan.
Uhm uhm, Jonathan, Sophia's Father clears his throat. Am sure you guys have met each other earlier but let me make a short introduction.
Logan this is Sophia, My beautiful daughter, and your fiance she's the one have been telling you about and Sophia this is Logan your fiance, you will be getting married soon.
Sophia was speechless as her father finally made her nightmare a reality, hot tears clouded her vision, it all sounded absurd, she had always been a dutiful daughter and danced to whatever tunes her father played, but giving her off to a man without her consent or any prior discussion with her??
Logan didn't bother to look at her or respond to Jonathan's introduction, he silently ate his steak, his whole anger and discontent boiling within but bottled.
To make the best out of the whole situation and not make her father embarrassed, Sophia reached out for a handshake.
Am Sophia Walker, she said but after waiting for some seconds and getting no reaction from Logan she slowly withdrew her hand awkwardly, at that very moment she hated him.
Logan ghosted her greeting as he didn't even look up or reply to her. Her blood boils and she wants to throw the red wine on his face so badly or better still bury his face in the steak.
Tension hung in the air, as only the clinks of silverware hitting ceramic dishes could be heard, the diner continued awkwardly as everyone paid more attention to the food they were not interested in.
Jonathan's phone rang and he excused himself from the table politely as he slid off to answer the call as it seemed urgent.
Acknowledging her father's absence.
Sophia blurted out, Being rude and arrogant to your hosts is not a nice stunt to pull off at a diner you are invited to, Sophia broke the silence as she stared daggers at Logan.
Finally lifting his gaze away from the meal, he said coolly but firmly. I never wanted to be here and it will be so nice if you can keep your mouth shut throughout this dinner, it will make tonight much more bearable for me, Logan replied as his deep baritone words overshadowed Sophia's feminine voice and personality.
Maybe it's your net worth or your accomplishments that make you feel you can just lash out at anyone without giving a second thought. Does your manners depreciate as your money appreciates?
She stares daringly at the calm Logan, silently challenging him.
You can't just come here acting so rude and arrogant while you try to ask for my hand in marriage and remember we still have a score to settle? You barged into my room and….
Baaaaaaaaannng!!! A loud sound cut Sophia short and her mouth slightly parted as she could
feel her hair standing on its end from the shock of the sound and what she was seeing in front of her.
