Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 5

"Who's that?" I asked a little bit louder due to the blaring music inside the studio.

"Mrs Kelley."

I nodded and turned to my students who were now dancing.

"Guys, please continue your practice. Teacher Craig will guide you for a while."

I said before rushing to Craig.

"Thanks. Can you watch them please?" I asked him when he gave me the phone.

"Sure."

I walked into my office before swiping the answer button.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Kelley."

"Hi, Sophia. Good afternoon. Are you busy?"

"Hmm... no ma'am."

"What about tonight, do you have schedules or plans for this evening? I hope you're free."

I smiled. "Yeah, I'm actually free for tonight."

"Great! Can I invite you for dinner tonight? It's just a family dinner."

"Ohh..." I bit my lower lip.

"Please, sweetie? I just want to introduce you to my husband, and of course to talk about the engagement preparation."

"Okay, ma'am."

"So, are you coming?"

I sighed. "Yes, I will."

"Oh, thank you! My driver will pick you up at seven tonight."

"No ma'am, it's okay. I'll just use my car."

"Are you sure, sweetie?"

"Yes, ma'am. May I have your address?"

"Oh sure, I'll send you our address after this call. Thank you, Sophia."

"You're welcome, Mrs Kelley."

"I'll wait for you tonight. Take care."

"Thank you, ma'am."

I sighed loudly after ending the call. It just means I'm going to see him again.

"Ahem!" I turned around to see Craig leaning against the doorframe.

"Dinner meeting," I told him even though he hasn't asked me yet.

"Hmm, are you coming?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Great! Good luck girl! You're going to meet your husband again." he teased me.

"We're not married yet, so he's still not my husband!"

"Yeah, but soon to be." and he gave me a hilarious laugh before going out and closing the door.

I don't know how many times I blinked when a three-storey luxurious and sophisticated architecture villa came in my full view.

-'Wow!'- I mentally said in awe.

"Sophia."

I turned around and saw Mrs Kelley standing in the glass door entrance of the mansion. I gulped and took a deep breath before walking towards her.

"Good evening, Mrs Kelley----"

She hugged me immediately as soon as I came in front of her.

"You're so beautiful, sweetie, I'm sure my son's eyes will pop out of their sockets when he sees you."

I just gave her an awkward smile.

"Did you find it difficult to find our address?"

"Not really, Mrs Kelley, I used the google map."

"Oh, that's what modern technology can do. Anyway, let's go inside, my husband is also excited to meet you."

She pulled me inside and my eyes automatically wandered into the huge living room. It's the bliss of soft and elegant beige room. The sofa, armchair and the carpets are all in a different hue of beige. And some of the wooden furniture contributes to a cosy living space and making the room beautifully diverse.

"Honey, meet your future daughter-in-law."

And there he was the man in his mid-fifties and the king of the family, Mr Gregory Kelley.

"Wow! Such a beautiful young lady." He said as he walked towards us. "You're right, honey. She has a charming face and a smashing beauty," he said smiling at me.

"See? I told you. By the way honey, this is Sophia, and sweetie, this is my husband, Greg, soon to be your father-in-law."

"Mr Kelley, nice to meet you, Sir." I offered my hand for a handshake, but like what his wife did earlier, he also pulled me into a hug.

"Come on, Sophie, let's cut the formalities here. You can now call me Daddy or dad."

"I agree. You can now also call me Mom."

I smiled awkwardly and looked at the grinning face of his wife behind him. He also gave me another nickname.

"I've heard a lot about you, Sophie, and don't worry, because my wife and I are willing to help you find the person who can testify in your case against that Joseph De Lucca."

"Thank you, Sir. It's really a pleasure to meet someone like you and Mrs Kelley in my life." I said honestly with a genuine smile on my lips.

"Oh, don't mention it, sweetie." Mrs Kelley held my hands. "We are now a family, and a family always helping one another."

"She's right, Sophie. By the way, I also heard your first impression with my son."

My eyes widened a bit but Mr Kelley just chuckled at me.

"Why don't we continue our conversation in the dining room? For sure Sophia will love all the dishes I've prepared for her."

"That's a good idea, honey. Have you already called your son?"

"Yeah, he said he's on his way here."

"Tsk.Tsk. When it comes to business, Daniel is always on time, but when it comes to a family dinner or any occasion, he always comes late." Mr Kelley complained as we all make our way to their breathtaking dining room.

My stomach churned just by hearing their son's name, it also caused my urinary bladder to kick inside me.

"Mrs Kelley, can I use your bathroom?"

"Oh sure, sweety," she called one of their maids to accompany me to the bathroom.

I sighed and closed my eyes as soon as I entered the comfort room. Yeah, comfort room. Because right now it's the only place I can feel comfortable since I parked the car earlier.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

"This is it, there's no turning back. For justice. Yeah, this is all for what happened before!" I sighed again and finally did my real purpose inside.

Daniel's POV:

"Dude, aren't you feeling excited to see your fiancée?" Andrew winked at me when we were out of the car and headed for the entrance to my parents' house.

"Why should I get excited? This is just a formal dinner. I'm sure my Mom will introduce me to that Sophia."

"I'm so excited to meet your girl. You know, I'm so intrigued by her character."

"Don't worry, you'll meet her tonight."

When we couldn't find my parents in the living room, we headed straight into the dining room with Andrew trailing behind me.

"Here is your son." My dad was the first to notice me.

"Hi Dad, Mom." I kissed my mother's cheek. "I'm with Andrew, we'll go straight to our late meeting after this," I said giving way to Andrew to greet my parents, but I can't deny my eyes were searching for someone.

"Hi, Aunt Sonia, Uncle Greg."

"Hello, Andrew." Dad patted him on the shoulder.

"You still have a late meeting?" my mom asked me with disapproval written on her face.
