Open your eyes now, Logan said rather coldly.
He walked up to Sophia and handed her a small box covered with red suede,
There is our engagement ring.
I hate to give that to you but I realize it's very inappropriate and may raise eyebrows if you walk around without one.
Is this necessary? I thought you hated me.
Just put it on and don't ask me questions; it's part of the deal.
Sophia put on the ring on her left index finger.
Wait for me outside, I will drive you home in a few minutes.
No, I came with my car. I will follow up, Sophia replied as she walked out of the office.
They arrived at Logan's mansion and it was a scene to drool on.
Sophia's car crunched along the gravel driveway, she marveled at the meticulously manicured gardens.
The imposing architectural masterpiece came into view. A palace well fitted for a king, the imposing building is hidden behind hills and distant mountains keeping it away from the private eye of the public, it's a perfect blend of modern architecture and luxury.
Follow me let me show you your room, Logan said as he walked up the gold-lined stairs.
Sleeping in separate rooms is also part of the deal. Sophia queried.
I didn't realize you were so eager to cuddle up with me overnight.
There's nothing worthy about you cuddling up too, so don't feel too eager.
Alright guess you will be the one alone tonight, have got a baddie latina coming for me tonight, Logan said as he winked at Sophia.
She looked at him disgustingly, clenched her jaw, and sucked at her teeth. I see you are serious about the "LIVE OUR PRIVATE LIVES SEPARATELY" Thing, She said and hissed as she walked down the hallway to her new room.
She shut the door behind her with a loud bang, while she rested her back on the massive wooden door she finally let out all the emotions she's been bottling up since last night.
Sophia's eyes were flooded with warm salty tears in an instant as tears trickled down her eyelids while she slowly slipped down against the door.
After some minutes of wallowing in self-pity, she stood up and walked up to her bed, it was a majestic king-size bed with lamps standing on each side.
She didn't come from a poor family nor an average one, her family was well, and they could boast of many luxuries which a lot of people can only wish for, but the opulence and sophisticated design and luxury of her bedroom is something big that made her understands that there are levels to riches.
She sat on her bed and was embraced by the comfort of the sofa. Across her was a full-length mirror beside her dressing mirror, Sophia stood up and walked up to the mirror and stared at the figure reflecting on her.
Yesterday morning she was living her normal life, it was not very eventful but she was happy and now barely 24 hours later, she's engaged to a billionaire who is older than her and also which she loathes with much passion.
She let out a sigh trying to fit in her predicament. I have to do this for the family, for Dad, and for my mom, she reassured herself as she tried to put on a smile.
Her eyes caught sight of a black and gold shining metal plate on her dressing mirror, she picked it up, and under it was a note.
The card spending limit is unlimited and it's yours to purchase anything.
Hayes & Daggers
LOGAN.
Sophia dropped the note and then reached for her phone, she was hesitant at first but she later dialed her father's number.
Missing me so fast eh? Jonathan said in a joking manner on the line.
Dad I want to have some conversation with you, Sophia said quite tensed
Alright am all ears, Jonathan said calmly.
Must I do this Dad?
Do what?
Pushing me on to a man I never loved and who has no interest in me, Dad please just this once we should call these all off, please Father, she pleaded while crying.
He listens passively with a blank expression.
There's nothing I can do….
Sophia cut in, there's something you can do Dad!, there are a lot of things you can do to stop these, please.
Alright, listen carefully, There is nothing and I meant it when I say nothing, I will do absolutely nothing about this arranged marriage. It's for your best, it's for our whole family's best interest Sophia.
Don't be selfish and ungrateful your mom and I sacrificed a lot to give you and your brother the best. Just this one thing we ask of you, won't it be too bad and so ungrateful if you declined us this little favor?
But dad…
There are no buts, you are getting married to Logan Kratos and you are producing a male heir for the Kratos Empire within a year and that's final, Jonathan said amidst hot fast breath then hung up.
Sophia felt her whole world crashing right in front of her and she feels so helpless, she has to choose between loyalty to her family or loyalty to herself.
She heard the sound of a car engine revving into the driveway but she was drowning in her sorrow to even care about whoever it was, amidst muffled sobs, and sticky eyelids from the effect of tears, she fell into a deep slumber.
It felt like she was dreaming but she wasn't. She could hear the loud moans of two adults, she tried to get it off her mind and let herself get carried away by the comfort of her slumber. At least she couldn't feel any emotions while asleep, she thought.
The moans and consistent loud slaps of two sweaty bodies slamming each other at a fast pace continued, at this point, she convinced herself to get up and check whoever it was and tell them to keep their business at low volume.
Sophia got out of her room quite upset, she hates to be disturbed while trying to sleep.
These maids lack manners, how could they have s*x so loud in the house she said to herself as she silently followed where the sound was coming from, the closer she got the louder and clearer the voice.
Now she can hear the loud claps of the two bodies and their deep sensual moans. She got to the front of the room where the noise was coming from and she stood puzzled.
She flung the door open and her eyes wide at the sight in front of her.
