The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

It has been about two weeks since the trip to the amusement park and things between Nick and I has been fairly nice since then .

He doesn't insult me like he used to do . No , we aren't the closest to each other , but we are trying to be friends. Somedays we have our dinner or breakfast together while somedays, he is either early to office or comes back late.

I don't know what caused the change in him but atleast it is better than fighting at every instant.

I hadn't told Ryan or Char because I was confused whether it was permanent or the jerk version of himself would return. So I just kept quiet.

I sometimes can't help but wonder, would he ever leave Christina . I guess he loves her and was angry when he was forced to marry me. Maybe that made him so harsh towards me.

No I am not justifying his earlier behavior. I can't. Whatever maybe the reason , he shouldn't be taking it out on someone else who is not responsible. I never brought up the sudden change in his behavior because I was afraid that he might go back to being that jerk which I definitely didn't want.

Now if he loves Christina , then I wonder what am I going to do. I was surely attracted to him , since day 1 , no matter how much rude he was but that isn't love and I can surely push away the attraction. Maybe after a few years , we can make our parents understand that it didn't work out and mutually separate. The thought surely pained me a bit but I can't be selfish and let Nick be with the one he loves.

I was currently climbing up the stairs to Nick's floor. He had asked me to meet him in his cabin before the lunch but I was too busy with my work. I even worked through the break and now it was two hours past the time and I hope that he won't be angry. As I was infront of his cabin I heard him speak .

" No Christina , we are done. To begin with , we never really had something. Please leave and don't come again." I heard Nick say. He was breaking up with Christina? And what did he mean by " we never really had something" ? Weren't these two a thing.

" You can't say that . Are you saying this because of that little whore of your wife?" How dare that bitch call me a whore? Why don't people learn the meanings before using words?

" Shut up. Don't you dare ! You're speaking about my wife . And she isn't the cause of anything. I am just not interested in this anymore." The fact that he defended me made me really happy .

" You can't just break up with me like that." , She yelled.

" Breakup ? Where did that come from? Did I ever tell you that we could be anything serious ? Did I ask you to be my girlfriend? You thought yourself to be my girlfriend . I pretty much made clear what you were getting yourself into . So just stop making a scene and leave." He said. Okay , so they were just friends with benefits minus friends. It hurt , but I was happy that he wasn't continuing it.

I left and went to the washroom. After a long ten minutes I came back and knocked on his door.

" Come in." , I entered to see him massaging his forehead.

" Should I bring you some coffee ?" I offered. Hearing me , he opened his eyes.

" Oh just sit . I will have someone bring it." He said.

" Miss Adley , please bring in my usual coffee and" he looked at me for my preference .

" Juice " , I mouthed him .

" And one fresh juice ." He ended the call .

He looked at me and I remembered why I came.
