Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

Sophia's POV:

It's been thirty minutes since I called Alex and told him that we already know where his wife is. Bryan called me this morning confirming Rian's location.

The moment I ended the call, I suddenly felt anxious as if I was feeling something was going wrong.

I sighed and tried to shake off those thoughts. I sat down on the couch and continued listening to the music of Madilyn Bailey.

Another thirty minutes passed but the uncomfortable feeling still bothers me, so I decided to go to the kitchen to prepare something for lunch. I found Nanay Emily in the kitchen counter and glanced at what she was cooking.

"Hi, Nanay Emily." I greeted her, smiling as the delicious aroma of the food she was cooking filled my nostrils. "What are you cooking?"

"I'm cooking menudo, Anak. Your husband asked me this morning to cook his favorite dish for lunch."

"He asked that for his lunch?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows. "He didn't go to work?"

"No, he said he'll wait for an update about Rian."

"Ohh..." I said nodding. I bite my lips when I realized I haven't told him yet that we already know about his sister's location.

"By the way, he's in the gym, do you want to talk to him?"

I looked at her smiling face and shook my head.

"I'll just send him a message, Nanay."

She suddenly chuckled. "Why do you have to send him a message if you can go directly to the gym and talk to him?"

I just smiled at her and shrugged my shoulders. The truth is, I don't want to talk to him as I still remember what he did yesterday at Alex's house in front of his parents. He acted like a jealous and possessive husband to me.

I took my phone and began to type the message I wanted to tell him.

I didn't wait for his reply and put the earphones back to my ears. Well, I'm honestly not expecting any response from him. 

I opened the fridge and took all the ingredients I need for my fried chicken recipe.

-'If he has Menudo, then I have fried chicken.'-

I was swaying my h.i.p.s and enjoying the 'Happy Song' of Pharrell Williams while cooking my delicious fried chicken when I noticed someone's watching me from behind. I turned around to see my arrogant husband standing at the door with his hands on his pockets and watching me move inside the counter.

I just ignored him and continued dancing while singing the song lyrics.

"What are you cooking?" 

I jumped in shock when I suddenly heard his voice behind me. I looked at him raising my eyebrow. I really wanted to say...'none of your business' but I changed my mind.

"I am cooking fried chicken, my royal highness." I answered smiling and bowed in front of him as he's a real King.

He went inside the kitchen counter and snatched two pieces of my precious fried chicken. I gasped and my eyes widened when run outside. I screamed but it's too late because he already shove it to his mouth.

"What are you doing?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him.

"Eating my fried chicken." He smirked and shrugged.

"But that's mine! I didn't cook that for you, I cooked that for myself!" 

"Oops! I'm sorry sweetheart, I thought you wanted to share it with me because I am your husband." He smirked.

"What the f.u.c.k!" I unconsciously muttered which vanished his smirk.

"I guess you didn't learn your lesson, sweetheart."He said seriously and stepped towards me.

"And what's that lesson you're talking about?" I didn't move and waited for what he's planning to do.

But to my surprise, he walked past me and go directly inside the counter to get another two pieces of my fried chicken.

"I swear to God, I'm going to kill you, Daniel Kelley!" I said through gritted teeth as I run after him around the counter.

I gulped when I heard his laugh, not the laugh he always gives me but a boyish one. If we were in a different situation or if we were just friends, I would greet his laugh and I will tell him...

-'I hope you always do that because you become more handsome when you laugh.'-

But no, we're not friends so I would never do that!

"You're like Rian, are you really going to kill me just for fried chicken?"

"Because that's not for you and I didn't cook that for you! Argh!" I shouted narrowing my eyes at him. I was about to chase him again, but I felt my phone vibrates inside my pocket.

I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw it was an unregistered number. 

"Who's that?" 

I glanced up at Daniel who instantly strode beside me and also looking at my phone. I took a step away but he just followed me behind waving the chicken in front of me. I glared at him before answering the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello Ma'am, good afternoon. I am Mich, the head nurse from the emergency department of Good Samaritan Hospital, and we are calling for patient Alexander Jonathan Smith. He was rushed to the emergency room twenty minutes ago due to a car accident."

"W-What?" 

I felt goosebumps all over my body when I heard the news. 

"Oh my God!"

I was too shocked and didn't notice that I was gripping Daniel's hand but he didn't complain, instead he held it tightly with his eyes showing concern and confusion.

"C-Car accident?"

"What happened? Who's that?" Daniel asked cupping my cheek, but my attention was with the nurse on the other line.

"Yes, he's in the operating room right now. But can I know your name Mam, and your relationship with the patient? Because his call records indicate that you were the last person to call him before the accident."

"He's my friend and a co-brother-in-law. And yes I called him earlier to tell him where his wife is."

"Okay Maam, thank you so much for the information. By the way, Mam can we ask from your side to inform his wife and other relatives about what happened? We need consent before performing another operation for Mr. Smith.

"Y-Yeah, I will, thank you. I'll call them immediately."

Daniel cupped both of my cheeks the moment I ended the call.

"What happened? Who got an accident?" 

"I-t's Alex had an accident and he's now in the emergency room we need to call your sister!" I said without even pausing.

"Hey, wait! Make it slowly, I don't understand you!" He said simultaneously holding my hands and cupping my cheeks.

I closed my eyes and repeat the first line slowly.

"Alex was rushed in the hospital due to the car accident."

His eyes widened. "Oh f.u.c.k!" He said before pulling my hand and rushed towards the garage door.

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

I looked at him when I felt his hand on my knee. We're now in the parking lot of the Hospital and waiting for Rian's arrival. 

My breath hitched and I gulped when shivers crept all over my body. We stared at each other but didn't utter a word. 

I sighed after of few seconds before I look away and turned my eyes outside the window. 

We rushed towards the emergency entrance when I received Rian's call. I was about to complain when Daniel grabbed my hand but I realized we're in the public so I just let him intertwined our fingers as we run towards the entrance and even when we were inside.

Soon after almost three hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out from the operating room. We all muttered a silent prayer when he said Alex was now safe but he still needs to be observed because of the rib fracture he got from the accident.

Rian was the first to be allowed inside when he finally transferred to the ICU, so we were all left outside.

I bit my lip as I saw all the seats were occupied. I passed by them and intend to just stand in the corner when my hand was suddenly pulled. I yelped when my b.u.t.t landed on my husband's l.a.p.

"Forgodsake, Daniel----"

I didn't finish my sentence when he gave me a quick kiss on my lips. I was shocked and left speechless when he pulled me to his c.h.e.s.t and encircled his arms around my waist. 

I caught Rian's gaze which I didn't notice coming out of the ICU. I tried to take off his hands and stand up as I noticed almost all eyes were on us at that moment. 

"Stay still!" He whispered to my ear hugging me tightly and put his head on my shoulder.

"What are you doing?" I whispered back.

"They were looking at us."

I sneered looking at the side of his face.

"As if they didn't know our situation!"

"Just stay seated if you don't want me to kiss you in front of them!"

I gulped and keep my mouth sealed as I looked straight to the ICU's door, ignoring the strange feeling inside my stomach.
