Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 27

Sophia's POV:

"I'm so excited, girl! Good luck for us tomorrow."

Craig squealed inside my office, but Daniel's words were still swirling inside my head. 

Maybe he noticed that I wasn't in the mood so he took a seat in front of my desk.

"What happened to you, girl? Why does it seems like you're not excited for tomorrow?"

I sighed and leaned on my seat.

"You don't know how excited I am, Craig. I was just thinking what Daniel told me this morning, he wants me to quit the finals."

"What?" 

I rolled my eyes when he screamed.

"That's the same reaction I had earlier when he told me that."

"Oh, my God! Did he tell you why he wants you yo quit?"

I sneered crossing my arms over my chest. 

"Because I got bruises from the rehearsals, can you imagine that? Just because of these simple things, he wants me to quit----"

"Oh my gosh, girl! He's worried about you. Tsk.tsk.tsk, he's now showing concern for his wife!"

I arched my eyebrow and sarcastically chuckled at him.

"Yeah, you're right, he's concerned."

"See, I told you!" He exclaimed grinning and flipped his imaginary long hair.

"He was just concerned with his image and reputation but not for me, and what made you think that he would worry about me?"

"Because he's 'also' falling in love with you!"

"Here we are again."

I sighed shaking my head. 

"Wait! What do you mean by the word, 'also?" I asked glaring at him.

"Oops! Did I mention that word?"

"Yes, you said he's also falling in love with me."

"Ohh... don't mind it, girl." He winked at me. "By the way, what did you tell him, did you agree? Are you going to quit the finals?"

"Of course, not! Even if he's willing to donate all his millions for the typhoon survivors in the whole America, I won't quit the competition! You know how much efforts and time we put in this team just to go through the finals. We have already reached the top and its just a step up for the grand finals. And whether we win or not, he can't do anything to stop us!" 

"Wow!" He said clapping his both hands. "I like your spirit, girl! And because of that, I'm sure we will bring home the title and the crown!"

I chuckled when I heard the word 'crown'.

"Craig, it's a dance competition and not Miss Universe pageant."

"Come on, it's both competition so it's just the same!"

"Fine!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the grand champion for the United States International Dance competition is...."

The emcee paused for a second. Craig took my hands and we faced each other while waiting for emcees' next words. I could hear more the loud pounding of my heart inside my chest than the screams of the audiences across the whole stadium. It's very loud and deafening that almost blowing up my eardrums.

The loud sound of a fake heartbeat from the speakers around the stadium added to the nervousness that Craig and I felt at the moment.

"The champion is..."

"Fuck you!"

I can't help not to chuckle when I heard Craig cursed the emcee. I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"She's doing it on purpose! Forgodsake, doesn't she knows that I'm dying here waiting for the result? I swear if she'll do it again, I will skin her alive-----"

"The grand champion for the United States International Dance competition is... 'Sophia and Craig' from Los Angeles, California! Congratulations!"

He didn't finish his statement when we both heard our names being called as the grand champion.

"Did I hear her right, she mentioned our names?" He asked me with his eyes rounded like a saucer.

"Yes, she mentioned our names!" I nodded as I screamed.

"So that means we are the winner?" 

"Fuck you, Craig! Yes, we are the winner! We are the grand champion!"

And we both screamed in unison. I looked at the audience while Craig was still screaming beside me, and my eyes met the smiling face of my husband.

-'He's here.'-

I silently muttered as I can't believe that he's also standing below the stage with his mother and sister and some of our supporters.
