The Arranged Bride

Nick's POV

I was getting ready for the party . I had asked Sophia to come with me. Previously, I had missed a party because at that time I didn't want to go anywhere with her but a lot of things have changed in this period. I am over my misconceptions about her and this time I am proud to be able to bring her to the party as my wife.

From the very first day , each and every family member of mine has been fond of her. Even Caleb took a liking to her at the first sight but I was blind to her innocence. The urge to not trust any woman had overpowered me and I behaved so pathetically towards her.

These days, being so close to her, has definitely affected me. I like sleeping in the same bed and cuddling with her and waking up together. I miss her when I am at work. I try not to work till late night just to have a family dinner. Sometimes I think that what I feel for her is more than mere liking but I am scared to feel anything deeper .

Taking a final glance at the mirror, I started walking towards my room. I didn't want to be late. So I asked Sophia to get ready in our room while I volunteered to use another room.

On reaching, I knocked at the door. I heard a faint sweet voice asking me to come in.

Before entering, I didn't know I was in for a suprise. My jaw dropped at how fucking gorgeous Sophia was looking so damn gorgeous in that blue satin dress. Her hair was left in loose curls which was making her look even more beautiful. She had a neutral makeup on her face. Just looking at her was making me loose control. I was so proud that this beautiful woman was mine but this also meant that I had to protect her from stupid horny men at the party. Ughhh , why did she have to look so alluring.

I was broken out of the trance when Sophia cleared her throat. She must have noticed me staring at her . Her face was a deep shade of pink. I like it that she blushes so easily.

I went and stood behind her facing the mirror. Putting my hands around her waist, I spoke.
