Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 99

I woke up alone the following morning feeling the exhaustion all over my body. I tried to get up but... 

"Ouch!"

I bit my lip and gripped the sheet tight as I felt the stinging pain in the lower part of my body. I noticed the red spot on the sheet before I decided to wrap it around me. I tried to stand but my legs were like jelly, so I ended up sitting back on the edge of the bed. 

"Argh! Come on, Sophia, you can do it! You have to go to the bathroom before your husband enters the room." I took a deep breath after encouraging myself and tried to stand up again. 

Even though my whole body hurts, I couldn't help but smile as I remembered the happenings from last night. Daniel was right when told me about 'the best night' thing because that was the best night I have ever experienced in my life. I am now a complete woman, and I'm proud to say that I lost it with my husband, the man I love. 

After almost thirty minutes in the shower and relaxing my body in the bathtub, I am now feel energized and the pain in my lower body eased. 

But as I got out of the bathroom, my eyebrows creased in confusion as to what I am going to wear today. 

I opened the first closet door near the bathroom and I couldn't believe my eyes with what I saw. There are the clothes he brought me, folded neatly inside the cabinet. There are also the shoes, bags and accessories he gave me, arranged in sizes and colors inside the drawers. 

"Whoa!" And slowly, the wide smile breaks through my lips. "Now tell me you don't love me and I am just a woman who has nothing to do with you, Mr. Kelley."

I picked up the purple sundress and white flat sandals that I saw from the drawer. 

Once I finished checking myself in the mirror, I decided to go out and explore the whole suite as I didn't get the chance to do it last night. But I was just taking my third steps down the stairs when I heard muffled voices coming from the first floor. 

And together with my other best friend (curiosity), I followed the voices where it came from and surprised to see who the owner was. 

"Nanay Emily!" I squealed excitedly that made her turn towards me with the two other maids in the dining room. 

"Sophia."

I rushed to her and hugged her tightly. It's been almost three months since I last saw her and Tatay Berto, and that was when they helped me escape from Ben and his security team. 

"I missed you, Nanay Emily."

"I missed you too, Anak. How are you?" She asked when I pulled out from her embrace. "I heard what happened to your father and I'm sorry we're not there to support you."

I smiled, holding her hands. 

"It's okay, Nanay. I and my family are now slowly moving on from what happened, and about the people who caused us pain and suffering over the years, they now received what they deserved."

"That's good to hear, Anak." She smiled, cupping my left cheek. "How about you and your... you know... sweetheart?"

My face turned into crimson red when she winked at me. 

"Nanay Emily..."

"I'm happy for you, for both of you. Finally, the thing that I longed wish for you has happened."

"How did you know I'm here?"

"I heard your voice last night and I knew---"

"Oh, my God! This is so embarrassing." I covered my face as I felt myself blushing again in front of the old woman. 

"It's all right, Sophia, you don't have to feel shy about it." She winked before giving me a chuckle. 

"Anyway, do you know where Daniel is, Nanay? I haven't seen him since I woke up this morning."

"Ohh... he received an emergency call this morning. He said something urgent happened on the site of their new construction project and he had to deal with it. But don't worry, he told me to take care of you."

I just nodded and smiled, though deep inside, I couldn't help feeling disappointed that after what had happened to us last night, he just left me there, exhausted. He didn't even mind waking me up to tell me that he had received an emergency call and he had to go to work despite that I was in his bed, still sleeping and woke up feeling sore all over my body. 

"I see, he really had to go to work." I mumbled unconsciously. 

"Sophia, don't think about it too much. Believe me, if it it wasn't just an emergency, he didn't really want to leave you, he just had to go there."

"It's okay, I understand." I shrugged, waving my hands in the air. I wish my heart could also understand what she said. 

"Anyway, do you want to eat your breakfast now? Wait, I'll prepare your ----"

"No, Nanay Emily! Thanks but I'm not hungry." I grabbed her hand when she was about to go to the kitchen counter. 

"But you have to eat, Sophia. Daniel told me to cook your favorite chocolate waffles."
