Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 80

If we were just in a different situation, I would laugh just by seeing his stunned face or maybe I would throw myself at him and initiate the first move to kiss him again, but no, we are not as it is a real life. 

"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" I asked faking my hard expression. 

"Sweetheart, let me explain." He said trying to touch me again. 

"Sweetheart?" I snorted. "Do you hear yourself, Daniel Kelley?"

"Fine. Sophia, I will explain everything but please, you need to listen to me."

"Tss!" I chuckled sarcastically, crossing my arms in front of my chest. "Then explain everything to me, Daniel Kelley! Why did you buy my father's company and why the hell on earth did you introduce yourself as my husband in front of my family?"

"Because I am. I am your husband----"

"No! We're just pretending to be couple, remember? Well, unless you forget, let me remind you of your words Mr. Kelley, we got married just because of an agreement and we don't have any commitment to each other!"

"Then fuck that agreement!"

I gasped when he suddenly raised his voice and his expression changed into serious. 

"And fuck all the people who say we are not a real couple because we are, Sophia! We both signed a contract in front of the altar and we sealed that agreement with a kiss! Don't tell me you've already forgotten? Do you want me to kiss you again to remind you of that moment?"

I clenched my teeth as I gave him the most deadly glare I could ever give. 

"You didn't answer my question! Why did you buy my father's company? What kind of show is this, Daniel? Were your words, your insults and judgements towards me were not enough that you had to buy my father's company? For what, to show me that you are stronger? To add your insults and add salt to the injury?"

"Sophia, that's not my intention for buying your family's company----"

"Please, Daniel? I don't care whatever your reason for doing it, but since you already had it, can you now leave my family alone?"

"Sophia, I told you that's not my reason!"

"Then what?"

"I wanted to help you. I wanted to help your Dad and your family's company."

I chuckled at him, but we both know it was fake. 

"We are not asking for help, Daniel Kelley! And forgodsake, can't you see that my father is sick? So don't give him a false idea that we are okay and we are a couple! They knew everything about us, so please I'm begging you, stop what you are doing and go back to LA!"

"I'm not doing anything, Sophia, I just want to help!  And all I said to your father was true."

"And what are those?"

"That I will help you and take care of you until my last breath."

I stared at him for a few seconds before finding myself laughing in front of him. 

"Are you insane, Mr. Kelley? First, you bought Dad's company, secondly, you introduced yourself as my husband without my knowledge and now you speak nonsense!"

"Whatever you may call it, but I'm telling you that what I said is true. From now on, I will stick on your side like a chewing gum and I will never leave whatever things you do to push me."

I suddenly became confused about where our conversation is heading. 

"Let me help you reopen the case." He seriously said as he looked straight into my eyes. 

"What case are you talking about?"

I don't know, but waiting for his next words feels like waiting for a bomb to explode. 

"The case you filed against Joseph De Lucca, seven years ago."

And that's it, the bomb exploded not because of the case but because I suddenly remembered what he said the first time he confronted me about it. 

"Wow! Did I hear you right, Mr. Kelley? Wait, let me analyze this for a few seconds, so the help you were mentioning is about reopening the case?"

He was about to answer by I stopped him, raising my palm in front of him. 

"I thought you said, you don't fucking care about it? That you don't give a damn about me or my past? I thought you also said you don't believe me, that I am a slut who gave my body to my ex-fiance's friend before our wedding? So why all of a sudden you wanted to help me?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong then. I didn't know everything and I misjudged you. I'm an idiot and I'm sorry."

"Now you're sorry? Do you think your sorry will vanish the hurt you caused me?"

"I know it's not but-----"

"Then stop saying sorry and leave us alone! I don't need your help! My family doesn't need your help! And I have already forgotten what happened before. It was a long time ago. Do you know what's the thing I am now trying to forget?"

He looked at me, his face completely covered in despair. 

"You!"

"No!" He took a step forward but I glared at him so he stopped instantly. 

"Honestly, I have already forgotten your face and the way you look like."

"Sophia..."

"Craig was right, what happened in the past will remain in the past and there is nothing I can do to change it. So don't push me back into that dark cliff of my life, Daniel. If Joseph wants to enjoy his life, then let him be, as long as he doesn't bother me anymore."
