Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 68

"He's right, he's just helping me." I also tried to defend Andrew because what he said was true. 

"And you..." I gulped when he started walking to me. "What are you doing here? As I remembered, I instructed my security team not to let you leave that fucking house!"

"Yeah, you told them not to allow me to leave and ask for your permission before I could go out, but when I tried to call you, you didn't answer any of my calls!"

"Because I was busy!" He yelled at me that caught the attention of some of the customers around us. "Who the hell let you out the house?"

"Is it really important? Why? Are you going to fire them?"

"That's not the answer to my question, Sophia! Who the hell let you out the house? Answer me!"

"Do you really want to know the answer? Well, it's not from your security team, it's Nanay Emily and Tatay Berto who helped me escape from them! So now tell me, are you going to fire them?" I asked looking at him straight in the eyes. "Oh, I forgot to mention Bingo, he also helped me to lure Ben and his men so I can hide inside the car trunk."

I didn't miss the way he clenched his jaws and gripped the glass on his hand. I really wanted to take it from him because I was worried that he could break it any minute by his hard grip, but the next words he said made me stopped and shocked. 

"Why did you escape? Is it because you found out we're here in San Diego? You came here just to flirt with my assistant, am I right?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Don't deny it anymore, Sophia! I'm sure you knew Andrew liked you, that's why you're now making a move to seduce him!"

"That's not true! I'm not seducing him, forgodsake!" I

Shuddered at his ridiculous idea. If this man only knew that the real reason why I'm here is because of him, will he continue to say those words? 

"Tss!" He sneered, shaking his head and took a step closer to me. 

"Why am I confused, when I already know that you're great at this!"

"What do you mean I'm great at this?" I don't know, but I feel that this conversation is something I wouldn't like wherever it is going to. 

"You have done it before, haven't you?"

"Daniel!"

I heard Andrew's voice behind me. 

"My past has nothing to do with you, so why do you have to bring it here?"

"You seduced your fiance's best friend the day before your wedding and now you're trying to lure my assistant."

His words left me speechless for a few seconds. I was just staring at him, clenching my teeth as I felt my blood boil and slowly rise up to my head. 

"Why are you doing this? What is your purpose for doing this?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that I didn't do such things and I'm not seducing, Andrew!"

"I don't believe you!"

"Then I can't do anything about that. I'm done explaining myself to you!" I was about to walk towards the exit when suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Stop pretending like your innocent and a pitiful victim, Sophia! Go home, if you don't want me to charge you an adultery---"

I didn't give a chance to complete his statement as my palm reached his face in a loud and full-blown slap. 

"You don't have the right to accuse me of cheating because I know for myself that I'm not doing anything! I thought you'd changed as you showed me the different side of you but no, because until now you're still the jerk, cold and arrogant Daniel I have met. You know what, now I regret accepting this agreement and met someone like you in my life!"

"Daniel..."

We both heard a woman's voice behind him but I didn't even need to look at it to know who the owner of that voice. I didn't miss the way he clenched his jaws but I held up my chin and continued to glare at him. 

"Really? Then let me add this to your list!"

I was confused when I heard his words even when he turned around and walked towards Chloe's direction. I don't have any clue in my mind until he grabbed her on her waist and slammed his lips onto her. 

I gasped as I didn't expect this harsh action from him. I suddenly felt all my veins swollen due to jealousy but more of anger. 

"Sophia!" I felt Andrew's arm on my shoulder, preventing me from walking towards the two, but I just swatted his hand, so he had no choice but to follow me. 

"What the hell is this Daniel?" I heard him ask before I could open my mouth. 

Tears are now forming around my eyes so I gulped three times, trying to blink them away. 

"You really did that in front of your wife?"

Then he finally released her and turned to us with a smirk playing on his lips. 

"You just made me realize how fool I am that I believed in you!" I said through gritted teeth. "You really kissed her in front of me?"

"Why, are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous and it's not about----"

"Good, because in case you forgot, we're not a real couple! It was just an agreement ----

"Yeah, you're right! I'm not your fucking wife so I don't have the right to question you and the things you do! But let me remind you that you don't also have the right to humiliate me in front of everyone! And when the time comes that you discovered the truth, I will never forget what you did, the things you said and the times you made me fall in love with you!"

His mouth hung open with my sudden confession. Shock was written all over his face. 

"Yeah, you heard it! I love you and the real reason why I immediately followed you here was not because I joined a competition but because I wanted to see you! You made me believe that you care for me and pretended that you're also falling for me, but fuck! They were all lies!"

"Sophia..." His expression softened as he called my name. 

"I will never forgive you, Daniel Kelley, for humiliating me and for playing my feelings!"

"Sophia---"

I slapped him again when he tried to hold my hand. 

"This agreement is over, Mr. Kelley! Whether you like it or not, I will send you a copy of the divorce papers tomorrow!"

And with that, I turned around to let the tears flow heavily on my cheeks. I took my phone and dialled my lawyer's number as I rushed towards the exit. 

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

"Belle, aren't you going to work today?"

I heard Bryan's voice followed by his loud knocks on the other side of the door. I get up and sigh for I don't know how many times since I woke up this morning.
