Chapter 5
Andrew kept looking at Sophie, who seemed confused and kept guessing about his presence in the mansion.
She thought Max didn't have any siblings, but his brother's presence still shocks her.
“Hey, are you okay? Do you look injured? Let me help you with that.”
Andrew immediately took some medical equipment Sophie needed.
Then he immediately saw and cleaned the wounds on her body, that's what made him look so worried.
There were bruises on her hands and her legs, he swiftly immediately put some medical equipment on her wounds.
“What happened to you? Why did this happen?”
She was silent for a moment thinking about everything, all the pain, and suffering that she felt as a result of the actions of her fiancé.
“I'm fine, so welcome back to the mansion and I will help you with anything you need to.”
“That's okay, you don't need to worry about me, I will be okay, all the servants here can help me, I want you to get better first.”
“Yes, thank you a lot, but you don't need to worry about me.”
Sophie continued to pay attention to Andrew, who was continuing to heal her carefully and in detail, she felt his affection that she had never felt before.
Then she suddenly thought about Max and her marriage contract with him, it couldn't be postponed anymore because she had already signed their marriage contract too.
So, she tries to control and manage her acts to avoid all the risks and bad things that will happen in the future because she knows she has to deal with someone cruel and dangerous, and soon she will merge with him.
“Hey, what do you think? You looked gloomy and scared since the first time I saw you, is there something you want to say?”
“Not really, I just don't mean to bother you, I'll go.”
“No, I could swear that you don't bother me at all, and you don't need to be afraid of that.”
Sophie immediately tidied up her stuff and walked into the room to rest and kept her distance from Andrew.
But suddenly, she saw a few frightened maids and prepared to leave.
Then her phone rang.
“This is me, Max, I will be right back in 2 days, the useless daughter of my servants is sick, so I have sent you some food and money while I'm gone, I'll be right back.”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
And then she checked her account and saw tons of money there, Max just left her for 2 days, but the money he left for her was too much and was able for her to live for many years, she thought.
“Hey, do you know about everything that happened?” Andrew comes and asks her.
“About what?”
“The daughter of our servants is in chronic illness in the hospital, so they need to take care of her.”
“Oh yeah, I already know about that.”
“So my brother and I gave them an excuse to take care of their daughter for a while.”
She nods with a flat expression, as if she is reluctant to interact with him.
“But you don't need to worry, I will take care of you until you fully recover, too.”
“W-what? You don't need to, it's not your obligation, we just met.”
“If we've just known each other, why don't you tell us in detail about who you are.”
“I'm Max's fiancé, and we will get married soon after his business trips.” She answered doubtfully.
“Oh wow, so, you are the first woman who managed to conquer and be brought into this mansion by my brother.”
“Yeah maybe.”
“But that's okay, that means we will be a family, so I will still take care of you until you fully recover, after all, there are no servants in this mansion who can help you.”
“You don't have to do it, I can do everything myself, I'm used to it.”
“Yes, but I'm not sure about your situation like that, so please let me help you.”
She was silent, then returned to her room.
Sophie and Andrew's meeting left an impression on her mind, she didn't easily forget about their meaningful meeting.
In her room, she really can't stop thinking about him, about his kindness, affection, and warmth, all of which are very different from his brother.
He is very handsome, charming, charismatic, and attractive and looks younger than his brother, their aura also feels opposite.
Max usually always has the fighter, cold, mysterious, tough, ruthless aura, while his brother Andrew is warmer, charismatic, ticklish, and soft.
But they are still so handsome, the combination of Italian and Greek from their parents makes them look so handsome and exotic.
Even though, Sophie has been feeling sad lately because she feels trapped in her marriage contract.
But Andrew's presence makes her feel better and when she thinks about everything about him, she feels flattered and happy.
Why didn't she know a good man in the first place and instead was with a cruel and bad man?
I don't know, she felt confused and sad about everything that had happened, but she learned to accept her fate.
She fell asleep, until the next morning, she woke up because someone was knocking on her room.
With a shabby and disheveled appearance after waking up, she immediately opened the door.
“Good morning, I brought you breakfast, let's eat together, and if you need anything you can also tell me.”
“Hmm, thank you a lot for this, but I think I want to eat alone here because I would like to tidy up my room.”
“No, you must eat breakfast with me, we will soon become a family, so it wouldn't hurt if I got to know you better.”
“Well, I'll be right out after taking a bath.”
“Yes, but don't take too long, I'll be waiting for you in the outdoor dining room right next to the pool.”
“Yes, I'll be right there.”
Andrew's heart is currently filled with awe, and amazement when he sees Sophie.
She is the most beautiful woman he has ever met, it's just that unfortunately his brother Max knows her first and will soon continue the marriage together.
This makes him feel upset, if only this didn't happen, he would be able to get her sacred heart and make her his wife.
Chapter 6
She was finally done and walked towards the outdoor's dining room to take breakfast with him.
He was shocked and mesmerized when he just saw her, she looked like the perfect angel without wings for him.
He immediately prepared a bench for her and let her sit together with him.
Furthermore, he kept staring at her, feeling so nervous, even though many girls were crazy for him before, he never felt the surrounding same.
She feels the same too, but still afraid and careful about her actions, she tries to be neutral and control her emotions.
Even though she felt intense feelings for him since the first time they met.
“So, how long did you know my brother, until he takes the next level on a relationship like this?”
“We've just known each other and felt the intense attraction, so we decided to be in a relationship and anything.”
He raises his eyebrows, filled with a feeling of suspicion about her statement.
He will do anything to get her, no matter how much it costs, until he can solve the puzzle he has been yearning for.
Because she was worth a lot more than anything in the world.
And he's trying to figure out her need to finally get him and replace his brother as the groom.
“So, what do you think about your relationship with my brother?”
“So far, I enjoy my relationship with him, he is a very great person.”
“The last question is, are you happy with him? What's your deepest need in the relationship?”
She was silent for a moment, thinking about all the questions that had been asked of her, instantly making her face turn pale.
She is in shock because he looks like he can read her deepest mind.
Furthermore, she can't clearly describe her weird relationship with her future husband.
Because that's seemed so complicated and strange for many people.
She can't clearly say if her relationship was based on a contract with her brother, and she must agree or pay all the compensation she can't even afford.
That tortured her and gave her a headache.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yes, everything is fine, anyway I'm almost done with the breakfast.”
She felt awkward and nervous around him, her tongue felt awkward, not being able to say many things that would ruin her reputation.
He seemed unsatisfied with her answers, he wanted to dig deeper to find secret information to get her sacred heart.
But it turns out that it is very difficult and hard to do.
“Did you know that I am the best footballer in this country?”
She nods, she already knows it and still feels nervous around him.
“Okay, I'll invite you to my match, you can watch it and see me in the front seat of the stadium, you can sit anywhere if you say my name.”
“Yes, I will attend your game later.”
“That's good, it will mean a lot to me if you come.”
“Yes I will, anyway because you have been kind enough to prepare breakfast for me, so, it's my turn, I'll clean everything up.”
“You don't have to, you can rest, I know you're sick.”
She kept avoiding him as best she could, so there would be no misunderstandings between them.
Because the longer she spent her time with him, the more his feelings became warmer, safer, and more comfortable around her.
And that will be so wrong if she continues to continue the unpredictable game.
She went to the kitchen and started to clean all the things since she used to be a cleaning lady for her boss before he proposed to her.
And no assistants in his house for today.
When she cleans the filthy kitchen, she really can't stop thinking about her future husband and their marriage plans.
She doesn't know whether their marriage will lead to deep bliss or miserable one or not, she just feels afraid of anything that happened.
Moreover, she can't understand why her prospective brother-in-law is so handsome and warm, this makes her confused.
But she kept in mind all the contracts she had made with her future husband and could not break the rules if she did, that meant danger to her.
To think about all the complicated things makes her suddenly feel a headache.
She couldn't hold on and kept trying to drink the herbal tea to make her better, but it didn't seem to work.
She tried to walk towards a comfortable chair, but she almost fell over because she felt so sick, she almost fainted.
“Hey, are you okay?”
She could feel her prospective brother-in-law kept staring and watching her, but the attraction she felt for him is also undeniable.
He immediately laid her down on a big, comfortable couch and gave her some medicine to make her better.
“I have told you before, that you better rest because you are indeed sick, stop your stubbornness!”
“Yes, I do apologize for that, maybe this is just a common cold.”
“We, I'm not certain, but I want you to be kept to rest until you fully recover, don't worry, I will always be with you to take care of you.”
He said all and kept smiling at her, he looked perfect and his ocean blue eyes made her melt and almost stunned.
But then she realized that if what she had done was wrong, she shouldn't have looked at her brother-in-law like that.
He gave her some medicine and gave her food that would make her warmer because he was so worried about her.
“Here for you, how do you feel now?"
“Thank you a lot, I feel much better.”
She ate it and still felt so drained, she looked so pale and decided to take a rest.
He kept staring at her during her sleep, she looks so beautiful and innocent to him.
She has been fast asleep, which makes him want to get closer to her.
“What a perfect woman are you, God must be in God's mood when he creates you, you make me stunned.”
He caressed her hair, and cheeks, and stopping on her pink plump lips, he touched it.
He couldn't hold back his strong desire for her, so without thinking twice, he just kissed her slowly by building her up.
