COLD

Chapter 35 Stella got drunk.

On their way back home, Reagan didn't follow them. He took another route and went straight to his villa.

When he walked into the villa, Sophia was nowhere to be found. He heard sounds upstairs and thought maybe she would be in the room.

He walked up the stairs, pushing open the door, he saw Sophia sitting on the bed. She saw him walk in and quickly stood up, running into his arms as she started shedding tears.

" I thought you would never come back, please don't leave me again, I'm scared." Sophia cried.

" I'm sorry Sophia, why didn't you come to meet me earlier when you knew I was in search of you, you had the ring but why didn't you come?" Reagan asked. He had been thinking about it since he left. He knew how badly she wanted to marry him the time he attended her birthday banquet, why did she keep quiet for three years?

" I didn't trust you at that time. I was scared that you kill me so I wouldn't say anything to the public that will spoil you reputation." Sophia said. That was what her brain could think of as an excuse.

" I will never do that, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Reagan said as he hugged her. "Don't cry again, I'm here now." Reagan said as he cleaned the tears that lingered on her face.

" I'm hungry." Sophia said as she raised her head to look at Reagan.

" Ok, I'll be right back." Reagan said then walked out. He went into the kitchen where a woman in her 40s was.

" Mrs Bernita, how's dinner going?" Reagan asked as he opened the fridge and picked a chilled bottle of water.

" It will be ready in some minutes." Mrs Bernita said as she stirred the chicken soup.

Mrs Bernita was the only cook in the house. She had a good relationship with Reagan.

" Ok, call me when it's ready." Reagan said as he walked out of the kitchen.

The maids greeted him as he passed them on the stairs. He walked into the room and closed the door.

" Drink this first." He said as he gave the water to Sophia who took it and drank two mouthful.

After they were done with dinner, Reagan showed Sophia to her room. He didn't know why but he didn't feel anything towards Sophia. The only thing he felt was unfamiliarity, like he had never done anything with her before.

Reagan laid on his bed as he stared at the celling. His mind drifted to Stella. What would she be doing by now? He needed to find time to explain to her.

Now that he had found Sophia, he found it hard to get Stella off his mind. The way he felt with Stella why didn't he feel the same way with Sophia.

His head was starting to hurt. Why wasn't he as happy as he thought he would be when he found her.

Sigh! He has to get used to Sophia now and that's going to be hard.

Sophia sat on her bed as she talked with Katherine on the phone.

" Sophia, how are you doing now, what happened after you and Reagan left the party?" Katherine asked curiously.

" Calm down mum, he brought me to one of his villa. I'm ok now." Sophia replied in a low voice. She could hear some maids walking pass her room.

" Ok, are you with Reagan now, don't forget to do what I told you to do when you are with him." Katherine said.

" That's going to have to wait. We aren't staying in the same room." Sophia said.

" Why? You have to look for a way to make him let you stay in his room if not you wouldn't be able to carry out your plan." Katherine said as she thought of different things.
