Taming Mr. Cold and Arrogant

"So what do you think will happen if he finds out that you agreed with JM as his date on thursday? Forgodsake, today is tuesday that means it's on the day after tomorrow!"

"Yup, don't worry, I have Denise if you don't want to help me."

"Tss! Okay, fine! I'm going to help you but make sure this time he will into your trap!"

"I hope so, but in case he don't bite the trap, I still have another plan in mind." I smiled and then shrugged. 

"Oh, goodness!"

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

Daniel's POV:

"Didn't she call?"

I asked Denise, frowning as it is the third day that Sophia didn't come to the office. I'm not mad because she hasn't cooked and brought food, but with the fact that I missed her so much and I can't even see her face or smell her perfume. 

"No, Sir, she didn't."

"F.u.c.k! What the hell is going on with her?" I banged my fists on the table due to frustration. "Call Andrew when you leave!"

I'm not sure if I saw her smiled but I just ignored it and took my phone from the drawer. I was about to dial Craig's number when Andrew entered my office. 

"Denise told me, you wanted yo see me, Sir?"

"Yes! Did my wife call you?"

"Ohh... I thought you said you don't have a wife and she has nothing to do with you?"

"What the hell, just answer my f.u.c.k.i.n.g question, Andrew!"

"Hey, take it easy, dude! She didn't call me, okay?"

He was shocked when I yelled but Andrew, being Andrew, just laughed at me and sat on the couch. 

"And why do you suddenly interested if she called or not?"

"It's been three days, Andrew! It's been f.u.c.k.i.n.g three days when she suddenly stop bringing me lunch and she didn't even call or send a message if what is happening to her right now!"

"That's not what I mean, Andrew! I just want to know if she's fine, if she's sick or if she goes back to Italy---argh! F.u.c.k!"

"Then why don't you call her or visit her in her old apartment to know how she is!"

"I can't, Andrew!"

"But why?"

"I can't tell you right now."

"For Christ sake, Daniel, when are you going to stop your nonsense act and tell her that you still love her and that you are a mess without her?"

"Believe me, you don't know how I feel every time she brings food and stood in front of my office door. And every time her scent filled my nostrils, I almost have gone crazy! I wanted to touch her but I still have to pretend until it's done."

"Done? What is it that you have to do first before you talk to her? Is it more important than your wife?"

"Of course, not! But I told you, I can't spill the beans right now."

"This won't fail I promise, just bear with me."

"Fine!" He huffed, crossing his arms over his c.h.e.s.t. "Hmm... if you want I can call Craig and ask him where is your wife."

"No, thank you, but I was about to call him before you came."

"Okay, so do you need anything else, Sir?" He stressed the last word. "Wait, did you just call me to ask me if your wife called?"

I didn't answer his question as I started to dial Craig's number. 

"Tss! Such an arrogant boss!"

I just chuckled when he whispered and walked towards the door. 

I waited for Craig to pick up the phone and thank God he finally answered after four rings. But to my surprise, he spoke so fast before I could open my mouth. 

"Mr. Kelley, if you're going to ask me if she's here, well my answer is no!"

"Why, is there any topic that you would like to discuss with a gay like me?"

"What---"

"Why don't you just call her instead of bothering her best friend?"

"She doesn't answer her phone." I lied, but the truth is, I didn't even try to call her. 

"Ohh... maybe it's in silent mode so she can't disturb the party."

"The----what did you say? Party? Where is she? Where is that party you were talking about?"

"Hey, Daniel Kelley! Can you just ask one at a time? I don't have a freaking recorder to record all your questions!"

"I'm sorry." I sighed, forming my fists. "Craig, please, I need to know where she is."

"Haha... and why? I thought you said she's not your wife and she had nothing to do with you?"

"I'm sorry, okay? Please tell me where she is and who's with her, I'm going insane, Craig!"

"Fine! She is in Saavedra residence with----"

"Saavedra residence? You mean to say with JM Saavedra?"

"Yup, the one and only."

"What the hell is she doing there and why is she with him?"

"Hmm... well, as I heard, JM Saavedra invited her as his date tonight for there company's annual celebration...."

As soon as the word 'date' came out of his mouth, I felt my blood boil and suddenly rose up to my head. 

"...she agreed to go with him and-----"

"Goddamnit!" I yelled that made him stop talking. I also banged my hand on the table as I felt the rage filling up inside me. 

"Hey! Why are you mad at me? I'm just answering your question----"

I didn't wait for him to finish his statement as I immediately ended the call. After putting the phone inside my pocket, I took my jacket and my car key and ran towards the door. 

I saw Andrew and Denise talking and they immediately stopped when they noticed me. 

"Are you going home---"

"No! I'm going to Saavedra's residence and take my wife out that house! And God forbid, but I'm going to break JM's neck if he dared to touch her!"

"Ohh... okay, take care, Sir and good luck!"

I heard Andrew shouted behind me but I didn't have time to look at him or Denise. And because of that, I missed everything that happened behind me when I entered the lift. I missed the way they shared a knowing look, their high fives and the exchange of laughter as if they had won in a lottery. 

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

Sophia's POV:

Sccckkkk... 

"What the hell!"

"Oh, my God!"

JM and I uttered at the same time when our car or more appropriate to say 'his car', came to a halt. We just came out of their mansion's gate when it happened. 

"What happened, Robert?" He asked his driver. 

"I'm sorry, Sir, but there's a car that suddenly passed our line and stopped in front of us. It's now completely blocking our way."

"But who is that f.u.c.k.i.n.g insane that would do that?"

"I'm not sure of it, Sir, but I think he's the CEO of Kelley International Corporation."

My mouth opened in shock and excitement when I heard what Robert said. 

"He's now walking towards our car, do you want me to talk to him, Sir?"

"No! Let him do what he wants." JM said looking straight at me then he smiled. 

Twenty minutes ago, when we were just talking about Daniel. We both agreed that if he didn't come to the party, JM would take me to the apartment and we would wait for him there. But I think we don't have to go to do that as he already showed himself tonight. 

"I'm so excited about what he will do when sees you inside my car and sitting next to me."

I bit my lip and took a deep breath. I don't know but suddenly I felt nervous when I saw Daniel walking towards the side of my door. 

"Here comes your furious husband." He said grinning. 

"You know what to do." I whispered. 

"Of course----" but he didn't finish his statement when Daniel knocked on the window. 

"Sophia! I know you're there, get out!"

"Whoa! He's so fast!" JM stated in shock. 

"Sophia Kelley, get out of there! Get out of this f.u.c.k.i.n.g car or I swear I'm gonna break this damn window!"

"Don't go out, let me talk to him first."

I nodded and watched him as stepped out of the car. The car windows are tinted but I can clearly see and feel the anger radiating in his eyes. 

JM's bodyguards came to rescue their boss but he motioned for them to step back. And that's only when I realized that Daniel has no bodyguards with him tonight. He was alone. 

"Are you sure you're gonna break that, Kelley?"

"You're a motherf.u.c.ker bastard! What did you do to my wife? Why is she with you? Didn't I warn you to stay away from her and don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g touch what's mine?"

I gasped when Daniel rushed over to him and took him by his collar. But JM just chuckled as if he wasn't affected by the death glares that Daniel was giving him, unlike me. My hands were shaking and then suddenly I remembered what Craig and I had talked about earlier. 

-------"-------"-------"-------"-------"-------"-------

Flashback... 

"Sophia, are you sure of what you are planning?"

I sighed before taking a look at Craig as it was his fourth time to ask that question. 

"Craig, will you please relax? I already talked to JM and he agreed to play along with me, so stop worrying, okay?"

"But I'm not worried about you!" He snorted, crossing his arms over his c.h.e.s.t. 

"Ouch!"

"I'm worried about JM! I know your husband won't punch you but I'm sure he would kill JM Saavedra when he saw you with him, forgodsake!"

I chuckled when he rolled his eyes. 

"We have already talked about this plan, everything is settled and Bryan would be there with Aira."

"Fine, just don't forget to call me whatever may happen."

"I will, anyway, I have to go because the party will start at 3:00 pm. You know what to do when he calls you."

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

"Thanks, Craig."

End of flashback... 

-------"-------"-------"-------"-------"-------"-------

"Wait! What did you say, your wife? You're claiming her as yours and as your wife, whoa! But I heard that your marriage was fake, so what are you saying?"

"You don't know what you're talking about, Saavedra, so shut up! Our marriage was not fake and I don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g need your opinion on it!"

"Well, I'm sorry, Kelley, but the woman inside my car was no longer your wife but my future wife----"

"F.u.c.k you!"

I gasped. My eyes widened when Daniel didn't let him finish what he was going to say as he gave him a strong punch in the mouth. Four guards immediately surrounded the two but JM waved them off. 

"I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you if you dare touch my woman! She's my wife and she is mine, so back off, bastard!"

And two more strong punches were given to JM, but he didn't return even one of them to him. He just let him make his face a punching bag. And because of that, I decided to step out and showed myself to them as I can no longer take what Daniel is doing with him. 

"Daniel Kelley!"

They both turned to me. 

"Really? I thought you said I have nothing more to do in your life because soon I will be your ex-wife?"

"Sophia, why did you go out?" JM asked me, and since I already drew Daniel's attention, he didn't notice the wink that JM gave me. 

"No, JM, let him punch me too. Let him give me punches like those he gave to you."

"What the hell are you talking about, woman?"

Daniel turned me, confusion suddenly flashed through his eyes while I bit my tongue to suppress my stupid smile when I heard his last word. I remembered it was the first name he gave me before calling me sweetheart. 

"Punch me! Make me your punching bag. Let out all your frustrations to me!" then slowly, I walked towards him without breaking our eye contact. 

Those eyes. Those cold yet beautiful hazel brown eyes that staring back at me and sending shivers down my spine. 

"You know I can't do that!"

"Why?" I stopped right in front of him. "Why were you here, Mr. Kelley? Why were you screaming like a madman and suddenly had an interest in following the woman you said has nothing to do with you? Aren't you happy that I am following what you said? You said, soon I will be ex-wife so I am just doing you a favor---"

He didn't say anything, but he answered my question not with words but with action as he suddenly pulled me and kissed me deeply. My heart almost jumped out of my c.h.e.s.t due to being surprised and to the

Excitement that filled me. But I have to calm myself and stay in control since my plan hasn't just ended here. He only swims near the trap but he still doesn't bite it. 

"Let me go!" I said after pushing him lightly. 

"Why are you with him?"

"This is none of your business, Mr. Kelley!"

"And who told you it is none of my business? You are my business and everything about you is my f.u.c.k.i.n.g business because you are my wife!"

I couldn't help but chuckle and raise an eyebrow. 

"Now, I am your wife but two weeks ago, I was just someone who has nothing to do with you! Stop your act, Daniel Kelley, and let me go!"

"Huh! Never in hell will I let you go! You are mine and mine alone!" he took my hand and dragged me towards his car. 

-'You are mine!'- his words echoed inside my head.
