The Billionaire's Trap

Chapter 16

Sophia Pov

I woke up feeling very tired from oversleeping. Turning around in my large bed a smile spread on my lips as I remembered Theo falling asleep with me since he had to sleep here in order to scare my nightmares away, his words not mine. Soon my smile was wiped away when I remembered the woman who had barged in on us.

Who the hell was she?
What the hell did she want?

She wants him isn't it obvious? My conscious whispered jealously.
Getting down from the bed my mood suddenly became sour.

Taking a shower to erase the bad feeling settling all over yet with no success, even after I had dressed in a soft yellow sundress and brushed my wet hair still it didn't do anything to make my mood better.

She wants my Man...

My man!

Was he mine? Could I really call him that?

Remembering Theo, how his eyes crinkle when he smiles earnestly, how his shoulders shake when he laughs, how he yawns sleeply but still gets me anything I want even if it's way past midnight. When he looks at me sexily with lust filled eyes. When he is sleeping innocently he loves to cuddle or just hold me whenever I need comforting.

All this just made me make up my mind more than ever that He is someone worth fighting for because as much as I hated to admit it that this thing between us might have started as a business contract but somewhere along the lines my heart decided to ditch my brain and take matters in its own hands and fall for him real hard!

"Sleeping beauty finally awakes" Theo announced as I was coming down the stairs.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I accused him playfully. Pulling me for a gentle kiss on my lips forced me to fall onto his chest as he was pulling me from the last few steps towards him.

"Because you my darling were in need of the sleep" his words having the underlying meaning that he knew how the problems in our relationship had taken a toll on me.

"So would you like to have breakfast while I have lunch?" He asked for he knew that no matter what time I woke up I like to eat my breakfast it's something of a habit, a habit that he remembers...

my heart whispered happily...

"Sure" I replied with a smile.

He was eating his steak yet at the same time completing his work via his Ipad. I was eating an omelet and drinking my coffee. He was purposefully staying at home when in reality he should be at his office.

But why?

He noticed me staring at him.

"What?" He inquired as put his fork down and looked at me.

"Why are you here and not at the office? And don't tell me you have nothing to do because your constant ringing phone begs to differ" I explained truthfully.

Taking in a deep breath he let it out slowly.

"I have to leave tonight" he said quietly. Not wanting to believe what he was saying had another meaning as well I kept silent yet praying that he wasn't going to say the dreaded words that I knew for sure were going to follow this.

"You do know that our four and a half months are over" he said difficultly.

"Five months and two days but who is counting right" I added unconsciously. He groaned loudly.
