"Where are you taking me?" I pretended to pull my hand, but he only tightened his grip on it.
"Sophia ---" we both heard JM's voice.
"I am warning you, Saavedra! Don't you dare fucking follow us, or I swear you won't like the consequences!" He didn't answer my question but he managed to give JM a warning. "Let's go!"
"I won't go with you, Mr. Kelley!"
Yes, he has no talent in acting, but lucky to say that I have. In fact, I can be awarded as the best actress of the year in famas.
"What did you say, you won't go with me? Why is it because of him, you wanted to go with him?"
I secretly took a deep breath before nodding.
"Yes!"
"Do you think I will let you? Tss! That won't happen, sweetheart. Get in!" He opened the passenger side.
-'sweetheart...he called me again sweetheart'-
"No!"
"I said get in the car, Sophia Kelley!" He shouted again.
"Why are you calling me now by that name? I thought I was 'Sophia Del Mundo' to you?"
"Goddamit, Sophia!" I gulped when he slammed his hand on the roof of the car. "Whatever you think it is, Sophia Del Mundo or Sophia Kelley, I don't care! I said get in!"
"But----"
"Get in the fucking car, Sophia, before I break all that bastard's bones and kill him!"
-'Holy God!'-
Why did I suddenly feel nervous about him? With that, I didn't wait for his next scream and immediately got into the car.
As I sat inside, my heart started pounding faster in my ribcage. I'm not worried about him but with the possible consequences of this plan that I have made. I finally caught him lying, and he even shouted in front of me that I am his WIFE and that he won't let me go no matter what happens.
"Where are we going?" I asked him when he finally sat on the driver seat.
But he said nothing, instead, he shifted himself closer and pulled my seat belt. I hitched my breath as I waited for him to finish fastening it.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked again after a while.
"You will know when you get there!"
"What kind of answer is that?"
"If you want me to answer all your questions, then answer my question first! Why were you with him and why did you agree to be his date?"
"Huh! Where did you get that?" I kept pretending I was shocked.
"Why, should I not know about it? Forgodsake, you're a married woman! How dare you go with him and agreed to be his date----"
"Excuse me, Mister, but I think there's nothing wrong if I agreed to become his date tonight, at least I don't have an ex-boyfriend who I allowed to sleep in my room!"
His head snapped towards me and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.
-'oh, shit! Why did I mention that?'-
"I didn't know she was there, Sophia."
I avoided his gaze and remained quiet.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
Of course, I believe him.
"Nothing happened between us. I was so drunk that night and I didn't know she had used the other room. I thought she went out that night. And if I ever knew she slept in my suite, I wouldn't even touch her."
