Married to the billionaire son: the switch

Chapter 3

DAVID

On the phone

(Maxwell)

Hey son

I know this marriage wasn't what you wanted but I did it for your good.

You can't keep her at my place forever.

I need you to go home and pick up your wife.

What will people say when the find out you're living separately from her

Remember as the head of this company you need to always watch out for your reputation

You need to go out on social events with her and get to know her better

(David)

I'm not ready

I don't even know how to face her or live with her

Left her stay there at least she won't get bored

(Maxwell)

I wasn't asking you I'm telling you, do not go against me

Hangs up.

I didn't want this marriage to happen I don't still want this but I can't go against my father

So I went to pick her up

……

She went inside to say goodbye to my mom

Oh damn I'm going to look like the bad one here I said to myself

I saw her and my mom walk to the door I had to come out to talk to her

I knew she's still angry about me moving out of the house and we haven't spoken since after the wedding.

SOPHIA

He drove in silence, he didn't say a word to me or ask how I'd ed to ask

How have you been

Good

How has your day been

Good

Rude rude rude I said angrily in my head

And I stopped asking him at the second question

We got to his place, and everything was neatly arranged and carefully placed it's simple and beautiful, and most importantly it's comfy

So I use my other room for my library I did think we would live here I mean live together so you take my room I'm going to sleep on the couch till I figure out something

No, it's fine I can sleep on the couch you continue to sleep in your room I don't want to make you uncomfortable

Hey I wasn't asking you, I've told you to take the room while I sleep here and that's it

Without hesitation, I said okay

I went to the room unpacked my things had my shower

And I went to the living room where he is

What would you like to have for dinner

I'm not hungry you can make something for yourself

It's obvious you didn't eat anything before coming to pick and I didn't see you eat anything on our way here too so I'm making dinner for the both of us

Look I don't know why you hate me so much or why you can't stand me but if we are to live together can we at least be friends

I didn't wait for this response I went to the kitchen immediately

An hour later I was done

Dinner is ready” I said

Okay” he replied

DAVID

We ate in silence, she had a straight face throughout dinner and didn't utter a word

I decided to apologize to her I have been nice at all to her and I know it

I wasn't just ready…..I didn't know how I was supposed to react I know it's not an excuse tho.

Thanks for the food, it was delicious there's no difference between you and a chef

You're welcome, you can call me a chef though, in my house, I cook for everyone

Oh okay, I see where you got the skill from then

Uhm, I know I haven't been nice to you lately since we met; I'm sorry.

She didn't say anything but smiled at me afterwards she said

It's fine

Good

I heard you also didn't want to get married so I understand how you feel about getting married to someone you don't know

so like I said earlier we can start by being friends since we're staying together

Okay, that's good.

Yeah goodnight

Goodnight” I said

…….

While lying down, I could not help but think about how beautiful she is, calm, energetic when necessary and she didn't hesitate to make dinner even after how bad I'd been towards her

Maybe I did not make a mistake, after all, I have Dad to thank also

I smiled and went to bed immediately it was a hectic day.

Sophia

Woke up with a smile, I was surprised he apologized I knew he wasn't as bad as he presented himself to

I couldn't help myself I had to put a straight face at dinner so he wouldn't notice me staring at him, I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable

But he's so handsome, tall, and has sexy eyes…..my dream man

I got up, freshened up, and went out of the room to the living room, but I didn't see him; I saw a note on the center table saying, “ I left for work and didn't want to disturb you; I will be back by 7”.

I was happy I had no idea why.

I heard my phone ring

I pick and it was from the hospital phew I almost forgot

On the phone

Hey sis"

"Hey baby, sorry I've not called, I've been busy sorting things out"

"You're never too busy for me, I was worried If something had happened to you. I had a dream last night I'm so scared."

"What.. what dream ?

"I saw you crying at a funeral I was standing next to you I could not comfort you "

it's okay, don't be scared, everything is going to be all right, I'm here with you

You're going to be fine

I will come to visit you tomorrow

Ok, I love you I'm hanging up now

I love you too baby

This isn't what I wanted to hear this morning she has never had a dream like that before I'm scared

I prayed that morning for the first time in a long time

..,....

After the call yesterday, I was restless so I decided to go to the hospital early in the morning

Getting to the hospital I requested to see my sister, the nurse who attended to me asked me why I hadn't been coming to check on my sis

I told her I was busy with work, that's why I could not come.

The next minute the nurse asked me to go see the doctor

I did, when I got to the office he asked the same question and I gave the same answer

I was already feeling guilty that I left my sister in the hospital all by herself

I always come to check up on her every day

She had kidney failure and her name has been on the list for a while now

My uncle promised to pay the medical bill that's why I agreed to work for him

He has been the one paying except for when he wanted me to marry David for his and I refused at first and he decided to punish me with not paying the fees

She didn't get lucky, I'm sorry we lost her

We tried calling you but not response, we called your uncle, no response to so we could not get to the the surgery on time and it got worse” said the doctor

I don't understand what do you mean by you lost her

I spoke to her yesterday I know she's waiting for me now and I want to see her now

You lost who

I'm so sorry ma'am,but we did our best

Oh my God no no no

This can't be true

She's the only family I have left please doctor tell me this isn't true “ I said with tears streaming down my eyes

Please please doctor I promise to come see her every please just show me to my sister

Please.”I said

Take heart and be strong,I'm sending one of the nurse to attend to you so you can prepare for her burial

I know how much you love her but she's resting now and she won't be happy seeing you cry like this”

I could not control myself I ran out of the hospital I didn't know where to go or what to do.

It feels l

ike it's the end of the world and I wanted to go with her

After the death of my parents I've only lived for her, everything I've done I did it for her.

As I got to the front door I saw Isabella walking out with her said fiance “ hey loser good to see you” I wasn't here to talk to her to I walked pass her and went inside,

They got a new maid and I asked her “ is Gabriel home”

“Sorry I don't know who” … I saw the confusion on her face and I immediately said “ I mean Mr Thompson

Oh he's not at home ma'am, he left for work, is there a problem, is there anything you will like me to tell him when he's back

no, I will be back

I left, outside I saw Isabella “you and your dad has finally succeed in your plans right I hope you're happy

“What the f**k is this b***h talking about,what plans”

“My sister is dead, are you happy now,after all I did your dad promised to pay her bills, we had an agreement

I even had to marry someone I knew nothing about for you, this is the height of it I'm done.

Well-i-er I had no idea what was happening

Did we go to the hospital to kill her you knew her condition was bad so it was kinda expected

Sorry for your loss

So your coming here is for what now to accuse me father of murder ? Isabella blurted

Are you dumb?, the hospital called your father after my sister got approved of a donor ,

He didn't respond they sent text no response and you're here asking if I'm accusing your father for murder?

The reason for my patience in the house was because of my sister

She's the only family I had now she's gone” I said angrily

“I have nothing to lose now

I'm going to tell the Mr maxwell how I got married to his son

I'm going to tell him how you and your father deceived him by letting my get married to his son”

Uhm”

Do whatever you like boo my dad got the contract already so you're useless to us now, so if you don't mind shush and get out”

I see maybe you don't know contracts gets terminated, nobody wants to work with deceivers

And I kinda figured Mr maxwell won't take this well

I will just tell them your father paid me to marry his son because he said and I quote “ your son is wayward and irresponsible and there's a lot of rumors on the tabloid about him and it's going bro ruin your reputation”

Let's see how that works out for you and your dad b***h” i left her standing there she was dumbfounded, I had never spoken to her this way before

I went back to the hospital signed the necessary documents and arrange to bury my sister the following week

After everything

I went home

…..

It was past 9, I did not keep track of time I was in so much pain

I literally cried from the hospital to the house.

I got in, saw David sitting down and was on his laptop

I walked pass him without saying a word went to my room and Locked the door behind me

Let's see how this is going

to end

I'm going to be their worst nightmare” I said

How could she leave me, I fell to the ground and cried
