SOPHIA CASTILLO

"Why have you come here anyways Sophia?" Adrian asked after a while.

I had completely forgotten why I came to look for him in the first place the moment he began to look down on me and accuse me.

I wiped the tears in my eyes with my fingers and sniffled a little.

Adrian folded his arms across his chest, scrutinizing me.

"I want to ask for your permission to visit my parents," I tell him.

Adrian's brows rose as if he did not hear me and he wanted me to repeat myself. I fidgeted with my finger, not attempting to say any more words until he said something.

"You want to go see your parents? Why?" His brows rose again but now in a questioning manner.

"So that you and them can plan your next move? So that you and can tell then you are unable to woo me and they can tell you other means to get me?" He clicked his tongue while he shook his head.

"That's not true," I said to him but he chuckled in return.

"Of course, it is not true. It can't be true. Isn't it you? All you know how to do is cry to make your victim pity you but I am a businessman and I am not moved by anything. You will have to do a lot more to get my attention Sophia," he said to me.

"Why aren't you getting it? I do not know why you keep accusing us but it's fine. I just want to see them. I miss them already and I want to see them," I pleaded.

At this point, I didn't care about his accusations anymore. All I wanted was for him to let me see them. I miss them and I want to see them.

"You miss them? That's fine but I forbid you ever see them!" He deadpanned.

"You have got to be kidding me right?" I asked wanting to be sure he wasn't serious about what he just said.

"Kidding you? Wow! You sure have been breaking a lot of my rules after I have warned you not to, haven't you?" He began to walk closer to me and I began to walk back.

"I remember telling you I value my space but what are you doing? You are trying to get closer to me even when I told you not to and worse, you do not add sir while addressing me," he shook his head, walking closer to me.

My heart was beating in my chest as I walked back, away from him. Soon I felt my back touch the wall. Before I could try and leave, Adrian placed his both hands on each side, restricting me from taking any further steps.

"What exactly do you want Sophia?" He asked in his usual calm tone and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.

"What...what do you mean by what do I want?" I stuttered.

"It's easy you know? I mean one minute you act naive and innocent and the next minute, you are confident and talking back. It's so funny how you can't even hide your true colors for too long proving to me every fucking time that I am right," he spat out.

I do not understand Adrian and I do not think I'd ever be able to understand him. Not only were his accusations baseless but he believes my actions were the proof he needed.

"You cry one minute and the next minute you are talking back. Why do I feel this is your means of getting closer to me? You don't want to see your parents, do you?" He glared at me.

"I will say this once and that's it. I forbid you to go see your parents and I'd advise that you don't test my patience, are we clear?" He said through his teeth, making emphasis on his every word.

He attempted to leave but he placed my hands on his arms to stop him from walking any further.

"Please don't do this. I just want to see my mom," I pleaded.

I do not mind how much I have to beg to get him to let me go see my parents. I wanted to see them and even if I have to kneel I will.

Adrian removed my hand from his hold. "The Audacity," he muttered.

"Don't touch me. Do not ever touch me and don't even tell me please. Leave here already, I do not want to see your face," he said, irritation laced in his tone.

"Please. I promise you that I plan no evil against you. Just please let me go," I pleaded.

"Leave," Adrian said in a firm and stern tone and I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified by it but I just couldn't leave.

I wanted him to let me see my parents and that was it.

"Do not make me force you out of here," he warned but I did not move an inch even when his tone terrified me.

The next thing I knew, Adrian swept me off of my feet and placed me on his shoulder. He walked out of his office at home and dropped me outside the door.

While he carried me on his shoulder, I fought him by hitting him on his back but he didn't seem to be feeling any impact from it.

Just as he attempted to go back to his office at home, I attempted to enter and in the process, I lost my balance luckily for me I didn't fall on my face or my butt but my lips did lock in with someone else.

Before I could fall, Adrian's caught onto me with his hands on my waist and fear made me pull his shirt hard, he lost his balance and he fell to the floor with me on him and my lips on his.
