SOPHIA CASTILLO
I went into the room to get some clothes so I could change into them. When I got into the room, I aimed to go to the dressing room and get my clothes but I saw Adrian shivering and I couldn't help but feel for him.
I do not understand why he has refused to see the doctor or why he has been acting tough.
I mentally contemplated with myself if I should go take a look at him or not. I felt my heart clench when I decided to walk away and do what it was I has come to do.
I guess I couldn't be heartless even if I wanted to. I walked toward him and touch his forehead to feel his temperature.
"Ouch!" I muttered, feeling the hotness of his body on my palm.
"His temperature is high again," I mumbled to myself.
I was tempted to get a doctor for him but I do not know how he'd react if I did and so I decided to do what it was I did for him yesterday and see if his temperature comes down. If it doesn't, I would call the doctor.
I sat beside Adrian after I finished tending to him. I stared at his face, he was indeed gifted with looks but his attitude was bad.
I do not know why he had to be that bad. I sighed as I kept looking at his face. God took his time creating Adrian.
My eyes darted to his lips and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat as I stared at his Luscious tempting lips. I felt hot all of a sudden as I watched his lips.
"Do not...do not think about it," I said to myself, scolding myself to imagine kissing him.
*ADRIAN CASTILLO*
I soft sound escaped my lips as I opened my eyes. I felt pains at the back of my eyes but compared to before they were better.
I noticed something on my forehead and touched it with my hand to realize it was a towel on my forehead.
My eye averted to the head that was lying peacefully on my bed and I furrowed my brows. Why was she doing here and why was she sleeping on my bed.
Even after I had told her to leave, she still came back and I'm guessing she was the one that put the towel on my head.
I firmly believe she was doing all of this to get my attention, to get me to look at her just like the other men do but I won't fall for it at all.
No matter how much she tries, I won't give in to her because I know what her plan is and I needed a little bit of time to uncover all of it.
I was tempted to wake her up but my hands froze in the hair. I take my hands to myself and sighed. What does she want from me and why can't she just stay away?
As much as I wanted to wake up, I was grateful at the same time for she had taken care of me even if she had an ulterior motive.
I hated to go to a hospital. I hated to be there because it all brought back memories that I wish to bury but no matter how hard I bury them, they somehow manage to appear in my head.
I got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom to ease myself. By the time I came back, Sophia was still sleeping peacefully.
I placed my palm on my chest as they kept beating rapidly. "What is happening to me?" I thought to myself.
I walked closer to her. I lifted my hands to wake her up but kept them back to myself again.
Why wasn't I waking her up and asking her to leave? I thought to myself.
I squatted to look at her. She was sleeping peacefully while making little sounds with her mouth.
My eyes trailed from her face to her nose and then her lips, I shuddered staring at her heart-shaped lips.
The part of Sophia's body I loathed was her eyes. Those eyes of hers tormented me even when I did not harm her. She cried too much and I disliked that about her.
I got back on my feet and walked out of the room, no longer wanting to look at her as all she does is haunt me mentally and even in my sleep.
"When Sophia wakes up, tell her to leave the room and go to any other room she would like. I do not want to come back and meet her in my room so tell her that when she wakes up," I informed one of the maids before walking out of the mansion.
All my life, I grew up not trusting anyone because of what happened to me as a teenager. Life has shown me a lot of things and I have come to realize that you have nobody but yourself to protect you.
"Fuck!" I cursed when I entered my car. I placed my head on the steering wheel as Sophia's pleas rang in my head.
She has been asking to see her parents and to be honest, I wanted to give him but I do not trust her family not after I got some information about them from a very close client of mine.
Before Cox's intercommunication company almost went bankrupt, Seth Cox had collected loans from different places and is unable to pay for them. From the information I got about them, I was told that he wanted to go into the shipping business, trespassing his boundaries and doing what he had no idea of, and in doing so, he got a lot of investors who invested in his project but later on, the plan failed and there is no solid reason for so as there was no proof that he ever used the investor's money to buy anything or create anything with it.
Till today I am still suspicious.
