Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 114: Tuo Marito--Your husband

Furrowing my eyebrows, I turned slowly only to be surprised when my eyes landed on the man walking

down the wood and glass staircase that climbs the levels of the house... wearing a warm gray suit with

a plum-coloured tie that matched to the color of my dress.

My insides melt the moment our eyes meet, and I gulped. Shivers surged down my spine and into the

smallest vein of my sanity. My heart doubled its beat as if it wanted to jump out of my chest... and I

couldn't move. I couldn't even utter a single word. I just stood there, motionless. Waiting. Watching him

'till he reached the last step of the stairs.

And at the time he smiled, everything around me went blurred as the only thing I could see was the

man walking slowly towards me. Everything seemed to be in slow motion... until my world stopped as

Daniel stopped right in front of me.

"Hi, beautiful."

Oh God! I gulped. My breath hitched as his minty breath fanned across my face. His eyes were shining,

full of love and emotions. Those beautiful hazel-brown eyes that have held my heart captive right until

this very moment.

"H-Hi..."

What the hell! It's just a simple 'Hi', why am I stuttering?

"You don't know how beautiful you are tonight, sweetheart."

He took my hands and put a bouquet of white and purple tulips. Ohh...where does it come from?

"Where have you been?"

The first question --- or should I say --- the only question left in me as everything I wanted to ask and to

know a while ago suddenly disappeared when he showed me his melting smile.

"You don't know how worried I was. How frustrated I was not knowing where you are. You didn't answer

my calls or even reply to any of my messages." I'm sure he noticed the tears that formed around my

eyes as his expression changed. His gaze softened as he took a long breath.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't mean to make you worry or get frustrated. Something happened to one

of our engineers, so I had to go here and supervise the ongoing construction."

"Ongoing construction?" I repeat, confused.

"I promise to explain it to you later, but now, let's focus first to the party tonight."

"W-Wait! Speaking of which, w-what is this? What is the meaning of all this? This party? Why are our

both families here?" I asked, my eyes wandering around the venue.

"Oh, didn't Rian tell you about this?" He motioned his other hand to the guests and to the things around

us.

"No, she didn't tell me anything. She just asked me to come with her to her friend's party and then now

she's saying that this party is for me."

"Yeah...that's why I love my baby sister so much, I know I can count on her." I couldn't help rolling my

eyes as he winked at Rian behind me.

Of course, you can count on her.

"So, can you now explain to me what we are doing here, Mr. Kelley?"

"Well, this is the reason why I left for two days and for the last few days. I was supervising the finishing

touches of this house because I wanted everything to be set before this day came. I wanted this to be

my perfect gift to you."

"But it's not my birthday."

"Yeah, I know it's not your birthday." His chuckle echoed all over the venue. "But just because it's not

your birthday doesn't mean you shouldn't receive or accept any gifts, especially when it comes from

me. This house is for you. This purple house is for you, sweetheart." He said taking my hand again.

Then suddenly I remembered what Rian had said earlier, 'This is all yours, Belle! Everything you see

around you is for you. A special someone had planned all of this over a month to surprise you.'

"But this isn't just a simple house! This is a mega-mansion, Daniel!"

"I know and I want you to know that from now on, you're going to live with me in this mansion. You

deserve all of it and everything I have. You deserve all my love, Sophia."

"If you're talking about money, you know I am not into---"

"I know." He cut me by putting his index finger on my lips. "But you have no choice, Sophia Yzabelle

Kelley because you're married to me and you married one of the top billionaires in California." He

winked at me and God knows how much I wanted to smack the arrogant smile playing on his lips.

"So, you really owned this mansion?"

"We, sweetheart, owned this mansion."

"O-Okay..." the word 'We' made my breath stuck in my throat. The feeling of envy I had earlier with the

fiancee of my sister-in-law's friend, slowly vanishing in me. "But can you explain a little bit further?

Because I'm still confused, my mind hasn't been able to register what's going on around me and this...

and this purple mansion---"

"Shhh... let's just take it one by one, sweetheart. Don't worry, we still have forever and I still have a

lifetime to explain to you everything, but before that, I want to share a big secret with you."

Here we go again.

"A secret?" He nodded.

"Read what it says on the card."

"Huh?"

My eyebrows knitted, but I still looked down at the flowers in my hand and took the card that I hadn't

noticed earlier because my eyes and my attention were only on him.

I opened the purple card and read the note that's written on it.

***

My woman...

The day I met you, I found my missing piece. You complete me and you make me a better person. I

completely fell in love with you, in everything you do, in everything you say and in everything you are.

In your eyes, I have found my home. In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my

mate.

Thank you for coming into my life.

I love you... Always and forever.

T.M.

***

"T.M.?" I asked glancing up on him. I didn't know that everyone knew it by then, especially Craig and

Rian. "What is this? As I remembered, it's the initials of the person who keeps sending me flowers in

the studio."

"Yeah."

I couldn't help raising an eyebrow with his answer. "Are you connected with this person? Do you know

him?"

But before he could answer, Craig's voice from behind echoed in our ears.

"Oh, my God, girl! Do you know how to spell the word 'slow'?"

My head snapped at him, playfully throwing him a sarcastic smile. Huh! Does he really need to

emphasize the last word?

"Haha..."

I looked back at the card and tried to understand the message then suddenly it hit me. My mouth hung

open and my eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't tell me... you... you are T.M.?" He said nothing but the kind of smile he gave shows his answer.

"Oh, my--- seriously?"

This time he nodded.

"So all this time, you were just pretending jealous and furious over this secret admirer thing, because

it's no other than you!"

"Yes, I was just pretending then, sweetheart. I'm the one who sends you flowers every day. I'm the

person behind that initials, I am your secret admirer."

"But how--- I mean, why? Why did you have to pretend and send me flowers? Because as far as I

remember, you hate me and you told me I wasn't your type, Mr. Kelley."

Scratching the back of his neck, his lips curled into a shy smile.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
