The next morning, sofia woke up feeling heavy all over, she forced herself to get up from her bed.
'why do i feel so hot?'
sofia took off all her clothes. he intended to go to the bathroom to soak in cold water, but his legs lost balance, he fell to the floor with his head hitting the edge of the bed, "o-ow ..."
"sofia?" arsenio rushed inside, "what happened?" she hastily helps him up. when their skin touched, he felt something wrong, "oh?" he touches her forehead, you have fever? he touched the hand, then the arm then nodded, "right. you have a fever."
"really? i don't feel hot," sofia said awkwardly.
arsenio sat him at the end of the bed so he could get clean clothes for him to wear, "wear this. can you?"
sofia looked at the sleepwear on her lap, "maybe."
"i can help you," arsenio offered himself, worried that if he stood up again he would fall, his forehead already starting to swell.
sofia realized that she was naked. he shook his head, "you pervert." he said in a weak voice.
"hey. i'm not like that." arsenio protested a little, but finally let him change clothes alone.
sofia tried to stand up, unfortunately she lost her balance again due to her dizzy head. he tried another way, wearing it supine on the bed. a little difficult, but it works.
"sofia?" arsenio called after knocking on the door "i'll buy some food for you in a minute, ok?"
sofia got up, this time she walked carefully while holding on to objects around her so as not to fall again, "aren't you working?" he asked after opening the bedroom door.
"i can't leave you alone in this condition." arsenio replied, "i will tell my mom you are taking time off."
"you don't have to. i'll be fine after a good night's sleep." sofia doesn't want to be a hindrance to her work, "just call the doctor. i'll take medicine too. you work, don't you?"
"are you sure?" arsenio felt uneasy leaving him alone at home in this sick condition.
"yes," sofia reaffirmed her wish, "i think it's karma because of what i did yesterday."
"don't blame yourself. you deserve to know," arsenio comforted him, "i'll go to work until the doctor finishes examining you. ok?"
sophia nodded weakly.
"before that, i went to the nearest supermarket to buy ingredients for your breakfast." arsenio actually already made toast, but in his current condition he needs more nutritious food than bread.
"do not be long."
"i won't, i'll be back before you know it," arsenio said jokingly a little to lift the mood, then left.
sofia pressed her cheek against the dining table, enjoying the coolness of the table touching her burning skin, soothing, "hm?" she hears the bell ringing.
'he's really fast.'
without suspicion at all, sofia opened the door, her eyes widened at the cold dominic face in front of her.
he wasn't dreaming, was he?
he didn't expect to see him so soon after what happened last night.
sofia has not had time to say, her mouth has been covered by a cloth.
'huh...?'
sofia smelled the flowers before her eyes slowly blurred until she completely lost consciousness.
domini perfectly captures her limp body, "you're mine now."

when he returned from shopping, arsenio raised an eyebrow to see a man dressed in a jacket with a mask carrying a bag in front of the penthouse door, "excuse me? do you need to come to my house?"
"mr. grace, correct?" the man lowered his mask so arsenio could recognize him, "introduce me doctor harry. i'm in charge of examining your wife."
"ah? you been waiting all this time?" arsenio asked, then confused to get a nod from doctor harry, "maybe my wife fell asleep so didn't hear the doorbell." he holds the doorknob.
locked.
luckily arsenio always carries a spare key card, "a moment." he took his wallet and swiped the white card through the checks until he heard a beep. he put the card back in his wallet and slowly opened the door, "please come in, doctor harry."
"so where is your wife, mr. grace?"
arsenio checked the dining room where sofia was before he left.
no one.
'must rest in the bedroom.'
arsenio rushed to his bedroom, unfortunately just like the dining room, there was no one here not even in the bathroom. he started to panic, "there's no way he's going to work!?" he knew sofia was pushing herself sometimes, but her condition was pretty bad. he takes his cell phone, calls mateo, and his mother asks him not to take him to work.
'sh*t.'
arsenio had done everything, but somehow he felt a bad feeling, this feeling wouldn't go away from his heart.
'at this rate i'll go down the usual path of going to work.'
before that ...
arsenio checked the bed of dirty clothes.
there was no nightgown that sofia was wearing.
arsenio checked the wardrobe.
none too.
'this is weird.'
arsenio can't think straight, so many irregularities.
'sh*t.'
arsenio tried to call sofia's cell phone.
her cell phone was still on the nightstand.
'sofia. where are you?'
i hope he really is on his way to the restaurant.

sofia groaned softly feeling the glare hit her eyelids.
"already up?"
"hmm...?" sofia couldn't see her surroundings yet, but she knew the owner of the voice who asked, "dominic?"
"the one and only."
sofia blinked a few times, her eyes finally caught the atmosphere around her which was dominated by tall buildings.
he is in the flying car.
sofia glanced out the window.
this is definitely not new york city.
"where are we going?" sofia asked confused.
"to the place where the trouble between us started."
"what are you talking about?" sofia asked, "ugh." his head hurt again, but this time he remembered before getting in the car, "why did you drug me?"
"so you obey like you used to," dominic replied with a possessive hit, "now you're not the sofia i know." he will make him tame again like he used to be again even with arsenio.
no more adultery.
"what do you mean, dominic?" sofia was a little scared of his plan, the smirk on the corner of her lips really made her think negatively.
"you always wanted us to get married, didn't you?" dominic asked demanding and angry, "then i'll give it to you now."
"what?" give him what he wanted from the start.
be mrs. miller?
sofia wasn't as happy as she had imagined it to be. either because he was sick or because his feelings of love had diminished due to what he had done last night.
"yes. we're getting married now, babe." dominic made a confession, "then you'll be mine forever."
sofia's eyes widen.
no.
no.
no.
that one word popped into sofia's head, and the next she said it, not just in her mind, "no!"
