Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 70

"Please? So you know now how to say 'please', sweetheart? Yes, I love you. I fell in love with you but it doesn't mean I will let you play with my feelings again! I couldn't remember how many times I asked you to listen to me, to let me explain, but did you give me the chance to do it? No, you pushed me away, Mr. Kelley!"

I gulped, closing my eyes as I remembered the time I came home and talked to her. She was crying that day, asking me to listen to her but I didn't give her a chance to speak. I was so mad with her and at the same time, I was afraid she would go back to his-fiance and continue their wedding. 

"There's nothing happened between us---" I tried to talk but she interrupted me again. 

"The hell I care!"

She screamed. I can see the rage that showing in her eyes. 

"I didn't come here to listen to you and I don't care whether you banged her or you banged each other, I don't fucking care! You said we're not a couple and I was just your fake wife, so I have no right to interfere, right? I just came here to give you this!" and she waved the divorce application in front of me. 

"No!" I shook my head. I won't let her do this. 

"I am a person with one word, Mr. Kelley. I have already signed it, so all you have to do is sign your name and file it in court, and that's it! You're finally free from this marriage and finally free from this agreement!"

She took my hand when I refused to take it from her, while still shaking my head. 

"Once it is granted, you will never see me in your life again!"

I don't know, but her words sank deeply into my soul. I don't want to let her go. 

"By the way, I will never take a single centavo from you, or even the smallest thing that you gave me! Goodbye, Mr. Kelley!"

"Sophia!"

I tried to call her again and was about to chase her when a hand stopped me. 

"Don't fucking touch me!" I swatted Chloe's hand and gave her a deadly glare. "What the hell are you doing here?"

I followed her as she went back inside. 

"I helped you last night because you were so drunk and I asked you if I can stay here and use the other room, and you said yes." She shrugged. "So I stayed here all night and took a shower this morning."

"Get out!" I yelled, massaging my temples. 

"What the hell, Daniel---"

"I said get out!"

"Are you crazy? You want me to walk outside only with this towel?"

I balled my fists before brushing my hair up in frustration. 

I sat on the couch to calm my raging nerves when the door slammed open and Andrew came to our sight. 

"What did you do to Sophi----what the hell is this, Daniel?" He asked, screaming and walked to where I sit. 

"It's not what you think, Andrew! I was drunk last night and she just helped me to-----"

"She just helped you in bed and to undress you!"

"No----"

"Who would believe you? Anyone who saw you both wearing a towel this morning would think you just did something in the shower!"

"We didn't do anything! I didn't even know she was here!"

"Do you think I care whether you did something or not, Daniel? I came here to ask you why Sophia was crying after coming here?"

"She's crying?"

"What do you think will be her reaction after seeing you both in a towel and after she admitted that she loves you?  Do you think she will be happy, she will celebrate?"

He turned to Chloe and then shook his head. 

"Knowing how this woman likes you, I won't be surprised if she even helped you with your needs last night."

"Andrew!"

"Why? You said you were drunk, so how do you know if she crawled on top of you while you slept?"

"I didn't do that, you're a fucking idiot!" Chloe shouted, narrowing her eyes on him. 

"Get out, Chloe! Didn't I tell you to get out?" I also shouted at her while Andrew had just raised an eyebrow. 

She stamped her feet towards the guest room and slammed the door shut. 

I closed my eyes and dropped my head into my hands which rested on my knees. 

I didn't notice that Andrew was looking at my every move. 

"Isn't this what you wanted from the very beginning? To get rid of her, to show her who's dominant between the two of you and to divorce her once you've got Mr. Giovanni's signature? Well, congratulations, because you don't have to do it anymore. She's now making all the moves to get away from you. She already called her lawyer and prepared the divorce pa----"

"No, Andrew! I won't let her go! I won't fucking sign this divorce application!" I stood up, getting the paper from the center table and tore it to pieces. 

"Why? You said you didn't love her."

"I didn't say that."

His mouth opened wide in mid-air. 

"I never said I didn't love her, Andrew!"

"What the hell?"

"I love her! And I know I love her from the very beginning, but I just don't want to admit it to myself. Honestly, I love her and I will love her with or without Joseph de Lucca in her life. And I don't care if how many men did she gave herself in the past, it's not important to me. I love her and I will do everything for her."

"Then why didn't you tell her? Instead, you accused her, you pushed her away from you!"

"Because I was afraid, Andrew! I thought she still in love with him and I don't want her to come back to him!"

"You should have told her! Do you remember that you also accused me of flirting with her last night?"

"I'm sorry, I was just jealous----"

"Fodgodsake! You're jealous of me? I can't believe you!"

"Because I know you also like her."

"Tss! You fucked up, dude! You fucked up! You don't know how Sophia loves you that she did everything just to escape from your security team. She hides in the trunk of the car and came here just to see you, but what did you do? You just fucked up and completely pushed her away out your life!"

He gave one last glare before heading towards the door. 

"Andrew!"
