The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

It has been three weeks since I had my last nightmare and Nick was the one to pull me through it . From waking me up whenever I had a nightmare, holding me close to him and whispering assuring words in my ears to talking about my nightmares, he did them all. I couldn't help but fall deeper for the caring and loving side he has shown to me.

I love him, I love him with my everything but confessing it seems to be the toughest job on Earth. I am scared of his rejection. What if his feelings are not mutual ? What if he doesn't feel the same about me? Yes , he likes me and cares for me but love...

" Sophia , are you alright ?" I came out of my thoughts to look at Tyler and all my friends looking at me. Yeah, I had joined office since two weeks now. Nick didn't want me to join so early but I was sick of sitting at home. Besides, taking undue advantage of being the boss's wife isn't something I appreciate much.

" Yeah , I am absolutely fine." He nodded at my reply.

" See you then." Skyler waved as we made our ways to the car. As I came to the parking lot, Nick's Porsche wasn't there. Instead Benjamin was there in another car.

" Where is Nick ?" I asked Benjamin after getting in.

" Sir drove back home early. He told me to take you home." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Why did he not inform me that he went home early?

" Okay." He drove us back to the house. I went in to see Nick and Ethan cuddling on the sofa while they watched some movie. I mentally awed at the sight. They literally looked so cute together.

" So , why are you back early?" Both of them turned to look at me.

" I wasn't feeling well."

" Dad , was missing me " Nick and Ethan said at the same time and looked at each other. Not strange at all.

I missed you that was one and the more important reason. " He offered me a
