The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 10

Nick's POV

I walked upstairs and she followed me. Opening the door I went inside my room.

" Sir , we have got ma'am's luggage " , a maid said standing at the door.

"Keep it and leave " I said

Sophia thanked her . Why is she being this polite when she is nothing but a bloody gold digger? This pretending won't last long.

She was taking in the look of the room when I spoke .

" You won't be sleeping on the bed ."

I sounded rude and I sure as hell wanted to.

She just shrugged and started walking towards the couch.

"Where do you think you are going? " , I asked.

" To the couch " , She said in a obvious tone.

" Did I say that you could sleep there, you filthy woman ? "

She looked too stunned to reply and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Nick !?" , My name on her tongue sounded so hot- ughh Nick !

" You will be taking the floor ." , I said looking straight into her eyes .

" Fine then , arrange another room for me." , She said shrugging. By now she appeared to be back from her stunned self.

" Well , I dont think I had said that you can sleep anywhere else. " , I coldly said.

" Well , I don't think I had said that I will listen to you ." , She said mimicking my tone.

I was extremely angry at her. How dare that worthless woman talk back to me when no one had ever done that.

" You wouldn't dare disobey me." I threatened in a low voice which marvelously works on everyone but she wasn't backing down.

"Look , I understand that you want to play the part of the arrogant billionaire jerk in a cliche novel where he makes his wife sleep on the floor but I love my sleep way to much to bear with these weird fetishes of yours ." She paused for a few seconds before speaking again.

" Either let me take the couch here or arrange another room for me. " She crossed my arms across the chest, waiting for me.

I was shocked, really shocked at her words but covered it up with the same cold expression. I wasn't going to let her win this easily.

"What made you think that I will do that ? " I asked.

" You only said you don't want me to sleep on the couch and I sure as hell won't sleep on the floor. I can take the sofa in the living room easily but there is a small problem. Your maids will know of how affectionately you treat your wife.

It's your decision to make. If you're okay with that - "

" Take this couch." , I cut her off .

" Didn't you realize it too fast , Einstein?" She mocked. She mocked!?

Now I was beyond pissed.

I glared at her and turned towards the bed.

Taking it as the end of the discussion, she walked to the bathroom.

I sat on the bed repeating everything in my head. She threatened me , I let her. She won and I let her win.

After a long time , she came back in a loose tee and pyjamas. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail .

She didn't even look at me and laid down on the couch.
