Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 36

Sophia's POV:

I was in the hallway when I saw him down the stairs but I continued to walk until I met him in the middle. I thought he would just pass me by, but I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed my arm. 

"Who are your bodyguards and how did you get them?" He asked me seriously. 

"I didn't take them." I simply withdrew my hand from his grip. 

"Then who took them, was it your friend, Bryan?"

If I didn't know him, I would think he was jealous of Bryan based on the tone of his question. 

"Yes, he hired them as my personal bodyguards."

I didn't miss how he clenched his jaws in front of me. 

"Fire them!"

I blinked my eyes repeatedly as my mouth hung open when I heard what he said. 

"What?" I asked again to make sure I wasn't mistaken. 

"I said fire them!" He repeated in a higher tone. 

"And why would I do that?"

"Because you don't need them!"

I shook my head as I chuckled sarcastically. 

"Who are you to tell me what I need in my life and not? And who are you to dictate me what I should do or not?"

"If you don't do what I said and you didn't fire them, then expect something worse to happen, sweetheart."

I gulped when he pulled me and whispered to my ear. 

"Fire them now and I will hire a new set of bodyguards for you."

I don't know what his problem is but since I couldn't handle any arguments right now, I took my cellphone out of my pocket and called Bryan right away in front of him. He picked up the call right after the first ring. 

"Ciao, Belle?" (Hello, Belle?)

"Bryan, I'll return the bodyguards you hired for me. I'll just tell them to report to you in your office."

"Hey, aspetta! Di cosa stai parlando e perché dovresti farlo?" (Hey, wait! What are you talking about and why would you want to do that?)

"I don't need them anymore. Thank you so much, Bryan I appreciate your help."

"No Yzabelle! Non ti lascerò senza guardi, è troppo rischioso soprattutto che Joseph sia ora qui a Los Angeles." (No Yzabelle! I will not leave you without guards, it's too risky especially that Joseph is now here in Los Angeles.)

"I know, but you don't have to worry about me, Bryan because Mr. Daniel Kelley said he's going to hire a new set of bodyguard for me."

"Aspetta, l'ho sentito bene? Sigñor Daniel Kelley, intendendo che tuo marito assumerà guardie del corpo per te?" (Wait, did I hear it right? Mr. Daniel Kelley, meaning your husband will hire bodyguards for you?)

He chukled. 

"Oh, okay, l'ho capito, tuo marito è geloso! Dimmi, Belle, c'è qualcosa che devo sapere ----" (Oh, okay I got it, your husband is jealous! Tell me Belle, is there something that I need to know----)

"Thank you, Bryan. I'll just call you some other time."

"Hey, aspetta---" (Hey, wait----)

I didn't let him finish what he was about to say as I ended the call. I took a deep breath before I glance up to the serious face of the man in front of me. 

"Is there anything else you want me to do, Mr. Kelley?" I asked looking straight into his eyes. 

He looked at me furrowing his eyebrows. 

"Are you sick?"

I bite my bottom lip to suppress my laugh as I didn't expect that question. 

"What made you think that I'm sick, Mr. Kelley? 

I waited for his answer but I think he has no plan on answering my question, because he just stood there staring at me and studying my answer. 

And when he didn't utter a word after of few seconds, I left him in the middle of the stairs. I felt his stares on my back but I continued to walk towards the front door. I need to talk to my two bodyguards and explain to them what does my 'husband' wanted to happen. 

................................................

The next morning I received a call from Rian that Dino was missing. His own mother took him along with all the money she had taken from his bank account. 

I was about to inform Daniel when I saw him running down the stairs. Our eyes met as he run towards my direction. 

"Your sister called-----"

"I know, let's go!" He cut me off by taking my hand and pulled me to the garage. "Alex called me and told me what happened."

He opened the door of the passenger side for me, much to my surprise but I chose to keep it inside. 

"That fucking woman, she had already taken the money but she still wanted to take the kid?" He said slamming his hands on the steering wheel. 

I stayed quiet throughout our ride to Alex and Rian's house. I let him talk and cursing while driving. 

I just opened my mouth again when I received another call from Rian and she said they were going to Francine's former apartment. 

"What did she say?" He asked me referring to my conversation with his sister. 

"She said they were going to Francine's former apartment and let's just wait for them at their house."
