The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 33

Nick's POV

I parked the car in front of our house. Looking at Sophia, I found her staring off into the space. Getting out of the car I came to her side. I opened the door for her and that's when she noticed that we were home.

She looked at me blankly before placed her shaky legs out of the car . I instinctively placed a hand around her waist to steady her.

" Do you want me to carry you?" I wanted to carry her inside but I didn't know if she would be triggered by sudden touch. I questioned her because I didn't want to upset her by doing something against her wish . She gently shook her head .

" I'll walk ." Saying this she started taking small steps. I matched her pace , supporting her all the way to our room.

Without saying anything, she went inside the bathroom . After a minute I heard the shower start.

I stood there watching the closed bathroom door . There was an unknown uneasy feeling in my heart. It was like something heavy was placed on my chest but I couldn't trace it.

I went to take a shower in another room. After some twenty minutes when I returned, she was sitting on the bed looking at nothing in particular. She looked so scared. If anything, the uneasiness inside me increased on seeing her like this. I closed my eyes , took a deep breath and sat down on the bed beside her. There was dead silence in the room. As I placed a hand on her knee , she visibly flinched. I was hurt by her action but I knew that she was a bit traumatized. I withdrew my hand and carefully observed her.
