Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

"Where are you taking me?" I pretended to pull my hand, but he only tightened his grip on it. 

"Sophia ---" we both heard JM's voice. 

"I am warning you, Saavedra! Don't you dare f.u.c.k.i.n.g follow us, or I swear you won't like the consequences!" He didn't answer my question but he managed to give JM a warning. "Let's go!"

"I won't go with you, Mr. Kelley!"

Yes, he has no talent in acting, but lucky to say that I have. In fact, I can be awarded as the best actress of the year in famas. 

"What did you say, you won't go with me? Why, is it because of him, you wanted to go with him?"

I secretly took a deep breath before nodding. 

"Yes!"

"Do you think I will let you? Tss! That won't happen, sweetheart. Get in!" He opened the passenger side. 

-'sweetheart...he called me again sweetheart'-

"No!"

"I said get in the car, Sophia Kelley!" He shouted again. 

"Why are you calling me now by that name? I thought I was 'Sophia Del Mundo' to you?"

"Goddamit, Sophia!" I gulped when he slammed his hand on the roof of the car. "Whatever you think it is, Sophia Del Mundo or Sophia Kelley, I don't care! I said get in!"

"But----"

"Get in the f.u.c.k.i.n.g car, Sophia, before I break all that bastard's bones and kill him!"

-'Holy God!'-

Why did I suddenly feel nervous of him? With that, I didn't wait for his next scream and immediately got into the car. 

As I sat inside, my heart started pounding faster in my ribcage. I'm not worried about him but with the possible consequences of this plan that I have made. I finally caught him lying, and he even shouted in front of me that I am his WIFE and that he won't let me go no matter what happens. 

"Where are we going?" I asked him when he finally sat on the driver seat. 

But he said nothing, instead, he shifted himself closer and pulled my seat belt. I hitched my breath as I waited for him to finish fastening it. 

"Where are you taking me?" I asked again after a while. 

"You will know when you get there!"

"What kind of answer is that?"

"If you want me to answer all your questions, then answer my question first! Why were you with him and why did you agree to be his date?"

"Huh! Where did you get that?" I kept pretending I was shocked. 

"Why, should I not know about it? Forgodsake, you're a married woman! How dare you go with him and agreed to be his date----"

"Excuse me, Mister, but I think there's nothing wrong if I agreed to become his date tonight, at least I don't have an ex-boyfriend who I allowed to sleep in my room!"

His head snapped towards me and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road. 

-'oh shit! Why did I mention that?'-

"I didn't know she was there, Sophia."

I avoided his gaze and remained quiet. 

"You don't believe me, do you?"

Of course, I believe him. 

"Nothing happened between us. I was so drunk that night and I didn't know she had used the other room. I thought she went out that night. And if I ever knew she slept in my suite, I wouldn't even touch her."

"Why are you suddenly explaining? I didn't ask you to explain, so don't waste your time on that. Besides, we will soon get divorced and I will become your ex-wife, so I think you shouldn't care about my life and all the decisions I make! And anyway, I'm sorry. I remembered that you said you have a reputation to keep, but don't worry because as soon as our divorce is granted, you' won't be bothered about it anymore."

But to my surprise, he didn't say any word after that. He simply closed his eyes, clenched his jaws and he gripped the steering wheel. And I didn't hear any words from him until we stopped. Well, except when he told me to go out of the car.

"Wait, what are we doing here?" I looked around, confused at where we are. 

"Just get out!"

-'oh, my! Aren't you going to open the door for me?'-

I stared at him, asking silently, but I think he guessed it as he immediately got out of the car and walked over to open my door. 

-'whoa! How did he know that?'-

"Let's go!"

"Wait! Why are we here?"

I asked again, the amount of confusion had just doubled inside my head when I noticed that we are in his private parking lot in KI Corporation building. 

"Don't you dare tell me you're going back to your office and work again! Forgodsake, Daniel Kelley, are you so in love with your title?" I asked narrowing my eyes. 

I can't believe this man! So Andrew was right! Argh! I swear I'm going to cut his balls. 

"What the hell are you doing? Put me down!"

I screamed on top of my lungs when he suddenly threw me over his shoulders. 

"Daniel, put me down! What are you doing?"

But instead of answering my question, he slapped my b.u.t.t that made me yelp in surprise. 

"Oh, my God, did you just slap me?"

And he did it again as we entered the private elevator. 

"Argh! What the hell is going on with you? Put me down, please."

"No! Stay there and don't move if you don't want me to slap you again! That's your punishment for coming with Saadvedra!"

"Punishment? Are you insane? I am no longer a kid to receive your f.u.c.k.i.n.g punishment---ouch!" I screamed when he slapped me for the third time. "What the hell is that for---ouch! For goodness sake! Why do you keep slapping me?" I asked through gritted teeth. 

"If you don't stop cursing, then your b.u.t.t will continue to get slapped!"

"Argh!"

Arguing with him while I am on his shoulder is so difficult than I expected. It's hard to breathe while talking, and because we're busy bickering about slaps, I haven't noticed that we already exited the lift and entered a suite. 

"Where the hell are we?"

I asked when he started walking upstairs. I hitched my breath as I waited for him to reach the top. I got a little dizzy when he finally put me down. He opened the door of a room in front of us, turned on the lights but left me standing outside. 

"Wow! What a gentleman you are, Daniel Kelley!"

I mumbled softly when he disappeared from my sight. It's only then that I realized where we are. As I remembered, we entered a lift earlier but since I was in his shoulder and back was facing the door, I didn't see which floor he pressed. 

Or... are we still in KI Corporation building? How did I not know that it has a secret room? Well, I think I should ask him about this. 

I followed him inside but my mouth hung in mid-air when I noticed it was his room. There is a king-size bed in the middle and a picture frame on the table next to the bed lamp. As I stepped towards the frame, I heard the splash of water from the shower. 

"Why did this man bring me here and left me outside?"

I couldn't help shaking my head as I looked at the closed bathroom door, then I kept walking towards the table only to be surprised when I saw the photo and realized that it was our wedding photo, which is also the same with the frame hanging in the hallway near his office. 

A smile pursed my lips and I lifted the small frame. Who would have thought that I will also see my face in his room? I remembered the first time I entered his room, it was only the photos of his family placed near his bed, but now it's also our wedding photo. 

And because I was busy smiling like an idiot, I hadn't noticed that the splashes of the water had already stopped. I also didn't hear when he opened the door and walked over to me. 

"Why don't you take a shower now and change your clothes?"
