Why did he get pissed when his mom was no more? I meant; generally, people feel sad about it, but he was mad. It looked like his mom’s topic was sensitive, and it would be better if I wouldn’t pick that topic in front of him.
“By the way, why didn’t you say anything about me getting pregnant without wedlock with my boyfriend? I mean, anyone else at your place would have passed mean comments, but you didn’t do that. Why is so?”
“It’s your life and your choice. Who am I to say anything? Whether a woman wants to get pregnant at 21 or choose surrogacy to become a mother or adopt a baby or whatever she chooses. It should be her decision. And I kind of appreciate your decision that you want to keep a new life inside you alive instead of killing him or her, and for that, you’re ready to marry some stranger as well.”
I smiled at his words.
‘He’s handsome with a brain.’
Immediately he sat on the bonnet, changing his form from laying on the windshield to that, and looked around.
“What’s wrong?” I asked when I saw him in alert mode.
“We should leave now. Our important discussion is over.”, he said, jumping from the bonnet but I didn’t miss observing him looking in some particular direction. I followed his gaze, and a pair of almond-shaped yellow eyes were looking at us.
“What… what’s that?” I asked in horror because I was positive that it was a dog.
“Some wild animal. Here is the forest beside the river. He or she will think twice before coming here. Now come on! It’s getting late.”
“Okay.. okay.”, I agreed and quickly jumped from the bonnet.
“Did you forget that you’re pregnant? And there is a high chance of miscarriage in the early days of pregnancy. You should keep all these things in mind.”, he said in a strict tone.
“I… I will be careful from the next time.”, I muttered.

Third Person’s POV
“I don’t think you’re useful to me anymore.”, Henry said, looking at the Mason (Sophia’s boyfriend), who was tired with a chair.
“Please… please let me go!!” Mason begged. “I promise to catch your prey for you, please! Just please, give me one more chance.”
“You already have wasted a lot of time. The task was simple, to trap that girl in your love and bring her to me, but instead, you were busy screwing her.”, Henry growled in anger. Mason was about his mouth to plead again, but by that time, Henry shifted and ripped Mason’s head from his body.
‘What now?’, A girl named Iris mindlink Henry, coming closer to him.
‘Tomorrow is her wedding. I’m sure her family member will be there too at the wedding. We will have to kill one of them.’
‘Why not that bitch?’
‘Because she is everyone’s weakness, and we will use her as bait when her family tries to fight back or act smart or try to hide.’

Sophia’s POV
I had a lot of dreams that I would do this when I will get married, I will do that, but everything that happened was just opposite to what I had thought or wished, but at the same time, it was marriage because of our parent’s deal thing. Brandon was forced, and I… well, I didn’t have any other option. I wanted to marry the love of my life, if not grand, then at least in a way where I would feel like I was getting married, like inviting some relatives and decorating everything for the wedding, walking down the aisle but nope, nothing! We just signed a paper in the marriage registrar’s office and tada.
My title transferred to Mrs from Ms.
“I know this is not your dream wedding. But someday, maybe that dream of yours will get fulfilled when you will marry the person who loves you for real.” Oliver tried to cheer my mood.
“Hmm. That reminds me, if you get any news of Mason, just let me know.”
“Seriously, Sophia? The person who left you when you needed him the most, you want me to look for me.”
“Maybe he would have a perfect reason to do so!! And who knows, after listening to his side of the story, I might think of giving him a second chance? I believe in giving a second chance if the person deserves it or has learned from his mistake rather than breaking the relationship forever. And those people who things a second chance is given to make things right then, they are wrong about it. It simply means that a second chance is given to prove that they can be better even after they fall.
“You’re a hopeless romantic, do you know that?”
“I know.”, I grinned. “Moreover, it’s not that I’m going to stay married to Brandon all my life.”, I said, making sure that no one would have heard me because, as per the deal, we wouldn’t discuss it with anyone.
“What? What did you say?” Oliver asked, widening his eyes.
“Actually, _____,” I narrated everything to him.

Sophia’s POV
“I don’t know what to say in this situation, but I really liked Brandon. I mean, I didn’t get a chance to know much about him, but I found him a sensible person.”
“Oli, will you answer me something if I will ask something from you?”
“Well, that depends on your question.”
“Are Levi’s death and the favor that dad is going to do on Brandon’s father and my marriage related to one another?” I couldn’t help but ask because which family would get her daughter married just a few days later after the death of their eldest son?
“No.”, He lied confidently, and I trusted him as a fool.
“Thank god. I was thinking …. Just forget it. I’m glad that there is no such reason.”, I sighed.
****
It was time to finally leave with Brandon when I hugged mom and started crying at the thought of leaving her for the first time in my life. I was someone who had never stayed away from my parents until now. In fact, I never went on trips with my friends because dad was kind of strict about it. So, in short, till this age, my whole life surrounded my school, college, and home. Not that anyone tortured me something by doing this, it was just everyone overpampered me because I was the only girl in the family.
I think that was the reason I fell in love with Mason because he showed me the outside world a little; he showed me what I was missing under dad’s strict rules and regulations.
But that freedom cost me early and unplanned pregnancy.
“Sophia, stop crying, Princess! You’re not going afar; we will still be in the same city.”, Mom cooed to me.
“Mom, she is not crying because she is going away from you; she is crying because she will miss me, and she can’t say that on my face.”, Asher joked, on which I rolled my eyes, wiping my tears.
“Maybe she is crying that she can’t meet us more often now. But don’t worry, dear! I will keep visiting you.”, Theo said with a wink.
