Chapter - 48
Sophia''s POV
" Five more minutes." I replied while putting on the earrings. I and Nick were going to attend a g and
Ethan would be staying with Amy. It had been three weeks to our honeymoon but regardless of the
number of times we have had sex , I haven''t recovered from my shyness. On the other hand Nick was
bing more and more blunt with each passing day. No matter what, I could never cope up with his
uncensored vocabry.
But honestly, we have be transparent to each other over the past few weeks. It''s as if
communication is even easier between us now .
" Mom , you look so beautiful !" Ethan gushed . Nick had chosen the dress for me to wear to the g
tonight and I must admit that the dress is swoon worthy. It was a champagne gold one shoulder dress
with a thigh slit. I paired it up with nude heels and a pair of hoop earrings. Putting my hair up in a
messy updo , Ipleted it with a nude makeup.
" Thank you baby." Ethan immediately scrunched his nose up in annoyance causing me to chuckle.
" Done yet or I should..." Nick trailed off once his eyes fell on me. He was shamelessly checking me out
but I wasn''t anything better. He looked tempting as his perfect muscles bulged through his ck
Armani suit , hair neatly gelled and beard perfectly trimmed. I could bet that I was looking at him like a
hawk.
" Why are you staring at each other like there is double cheeseburger in front of you? " Ethan''s voice
broke our trance. I blinked multiple times, not knowing what to do . This li''l guy can really embarrass
you if he wants to.
While my face flushed with embarrassment, Nick just chuckled.
" You look stunning." Heplimented looking into my eyes.
" And you look handsome." He was . In fact he looked much more than just handsome.
" Shall we?" He offered his hand to me. I put my hand in his and gave a nod.

Nick''s POV
We came out of the car and made our way to the venue. Paparazzis were covering the front of the
entrance . Just on seeing us , they started throwing questions at us about our honeymoon . Sophia
answered some of them until one.
" So should we expect a tiny Carter within some months ?" Sophia didn''t blush at that. Instead I felt her
stiffen beside me.
" Ahh let''s see." Giving a vague reply, I made a move to enter. Leo and Chris walked us inside.
" Are you okay ?" I asked Sophia.
" Yeah." She gave me a smile to which I nodded.
We greeted a lot of people , business associates mostly . I kept Sophia by my side all night to keep her
away from the horny men until she walked off to get a drink while I was in the middle of an important
conversation.
When I looked again to check on her , a guy was standing with her while she was all smiles. I was
purely irritated with the scene. Who does he think he is ? Approaching a married woman. I felt a
restlessness inside me.
I wasn''t able to concentrate on the conversation going on here. I kept ncing at Sophia every now
and then until I had enough.
While I made my way towards them , I heard Sophiaughing. Jealousy coursed through me as I
looked at another man making herugh like that.
I stood beside her and putting a hand around her waist, pulled her to me.
The guy''s curious gaze meet my heated stare .

" Nick , meet Austin . We were friends in the high school. Austin , he is Nick , my husband." Sophia
introduced us . Each time she introduced me as her husband, it made me feel strangely good.
" Oh Sophia,e on, tell him we weren''t just friends. We were in fact high school sweethearts." He
adoringly smiled at Sophia.
If possible, my hold on Sophia tightened. I clenched my jaws and stared straight into his eyes clearly
warning him to back off.
" Austin!" She said with wide eyes but was still smiling. If I wasn''t mad already, this really did the job.
Why was she smiling at her ex?
" We had such good memories, especially the lunch breaks." He sighed dreamily like he was having a
nice walk down the memoryne.
" Just shut up , will you ?" Sophia by now wasughing and Austin was grinning as well. I swear I felt
like breaking his jaws.
" Well I have never been really interested in history. If you would excuse us , we need to leave." I didn''t
wait for his answer as I started walking off subtly pulling Sophia along.
" I will see youter Soph." He called from behind. He had a nickname for her ? Ofcourse he had , if
they were high school sweethearts.
" See you , my ass." I murmured .
Sophia chuckled at that.
" Yeah sure Austin." She replied. This just added to me seemingly growing anger.

Sophia''s POV
Nick didn''t even speak to me throughout the ride. He kept looking out of the window. As soon as we
reached , he went out of the car and walked straight inside the house.
After changing into my clothes as I came into our room , Nick wasn''t there. After a whole of five
minutes, I found him in his study. He didn''t even look up at me. He was in his t-shirt and sweats and
looked quite handsome but again when did he not look good!
I folded my arms across my chest and leaned against the frame of the door, observing him. He angrily
went through a lot of papers , venting out his frustration on theptop keys. After a few minutes, I
walked in . Standing behind him , I swivelled his chair around to face me. Before he could get up , I sat
on hisp straddling him.
He huffed like an angry kid and turned his face away.
" Nick." I called but his eyes seemed to find the nk wall more interesting than my face.
" Why are you angry ?" He looked at me like I had stolen his favourite candy.
" Why do you care ? Go back to your highschool sweetheart , Austin or what ever his name is." He
again looked away. I bit my lips to stop theughter from escaping.
" I would have stayed a bit longer and talked to him. You are the one who dragged me out. " He
snapped his head towards me , hurt clear on his face. I would lie if I say that I didn''t feel bad for him but
still I continued.
" You like him?" He asked as if dreading the answer.
" Of course I do and we haven''t met in such a long while.I think we should meet up someday at a
coffee-" He cut me off.
" Sophia ... I love you." He looked at me , uncertaintycing his words . His eyes held a certain
vulnerability , a fear that he was going to be walked over. It was like a plea to understand his feelings. I
honestly felt like a monster.
I held his face with both my hands and put my lips on his. He didn''t waste time in kissing me back.
cing his hand around my waist , he pulled me closer and hungrily kissed me, sucking and nibbling
on my lower lip. He traced my lips with his tongue asking for entrance which I dly granted. His desire
for me was so evident in his kiss. We parted as we felt the need to breathe. I joined our foreheads ,
hearing each other pant.
" I love you too Nick. You don''t have to be insecured, you know? I could never possibly walk out on you
with my heart intact." I whispered against his lips. He nuzzled his nose in the crook of my neck.
" Why were you smiling at your ex like that? I guess he is your ex for a reason." He pulled back to look
at me.
" Austin.." Nick''s hand automatically gripped my waist tighter at the mention of his name. " isn''t my ex."
Nick looked at me in confusion.
" He is gay. He has a boyfriend." Nick''s eye''s widened like they were going to pop out any moment.
" Then why ..." He trailed off.
" To rile you up . During our school, he always used to pull pranks at everyone and he is still the same."
I exined running my hand through his hair.
" And you decided to y along ?" He asked with a straight face .
" Well it''s pretty nice to see you jealous ,you know ?" I shrugged.
" Ah is it? Now don''t you think that you, my dear wife deserve a punishment for teasing your poor
husband?" He had a yful smirk on his face.
" Do I now ?"I innocently asked to which he nodded before he picked me up and slung me over his
shoulder, making his way to our bedroom.
