Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 103

"Forgodsake, Daniel! Do you really have to say it out loud in the kitchen?"

He laughed at me, finally detaching himself as I gave him a warning stare. 

"Why did you get up so early?" He shoved a piece of bacon in his mouth. 

I smiled and turned off the stove. 

"Because I want to cook breakfast for you. I cooked bacon, sausage and pancakes with maple syrup. I also prepared an apple juice and----what?" I stopped instantly when I noticed that he's staring at me with a smile plastered on his lips. 

He shook his head and took a step forward before pulling me into an embrace. 

"I didn't realize how lucky I am until I married you."

I bit my lip as the excitement filled me. "Really? But that's not what you said when you saw me at the coffee for the first time. And I remembered one time you screamed on my face that I wasn't your type and I will never be your type. So, what happened?" I patter his back. 

"Yeah, I know and I'm sorry." He pulled me even closer and put his head on the crook of my neck. "You don't know how much I regretted those words. But honestly, I find you beautiful that day."

"Hmmp!" I rolled my eyes. "Ohh... really? Did you find me beautiful or did you find my boobs beautiful that day?"

The laugh he responded echoed in the whole kitchen. 

"Both."

I narrowed my eyes as I crossed my arms in front of my chest. 

"Anyway, have you already asked your Mom if she offered me money then or have I already proven that money isn't my purpose of marrying you?"

"No, sweetheart, I haven't asked Mom so far and about your second question, well, honestly I don't care if money is the only reason why you married me as long as I have you."

"But you know that's not my reason, right? It's about Joseph because I wanted ----"

"Shhh!" he gave me a quick kiss on the lips and this immediately stopped me from speaking. "I know. I know, sweetheart. And you don't have to explain yourself. I've seen all of them, your pain, your nightmares, your traumas and everything. And if it's true that you only accepted the deal just because of money, then so be it."

He gave me a shrug. A smug smile playing between his lips. 

"The hell I care. I am a billionaire, sweetheart. Your husband is one of the top billionaires in California, I earned a million dollars every day, billions every week and I can give you anything you want. I can support you with all your needs, put billions into your account and even take you to different countries around the world."

"Whew! I suddenly got dizzy with your millions and billions of dollars account." I pretended to feel dizzy and grabbed his biceps. He supported my weight while laughing at me. "But like I said the first time we met, I don't need your billions. I only need you." I winked at him. 

"I know and of course I know that apart from that, you want this too."

"Huh!" I gasped. My eyes turned wide like saucers as he suddenly grabbed my left hand and put it on top of his crotch. "You are such pervert!"

"Oh, sweetheart, that's not what you were screaming last night and not even on our first night---"

"Daniel!" I glared at him and immediately covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking. I felt that the color of my face changed its color from pink to crimson red. 

The laughter he gave me this time increased the redness on my face. I don't know, maybe someday I'll be used to his nasty jokes, though I'm happy that we finally break out of our own shells. 

I wish we could have stayed like this forever, that whatever we have at this moment lasts until our last breath. 

We stayed in the kitchen for a few minutes, then had breakfast together. 

.............................................

"Oh, girl, I will miss you again this time." Craig said pouting before he walking over to me and hugging me from behind. I am standing in front of the mirror and I can see the crease on his forehead. 

Daniel insisted on taking my things from my apartment and bring to the penthouse right after having breakfast this morning. 

"Hey, I'm just going to be in Daniel's penthouse, you can visit me anytime you want and... hello... it's as if we don't see each other in the studio."

"Girl, the right words are, you are now going to live with him for real and I know this time is different because he now treats you as his wife unlike before that you seemed like trash that he can throw out of his house whenever he wants."

Hearing the word wife made me look at him, sighing. 

"And what is it for?" He detached himself from me and pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed. "What happened? Is there something you want to share with me?"

I sighed again. "He told me last night how sorry he was for the way he treated me when I was still in his mansion and when we first met."

"Oh, that's great! At least he realized his fault in treating you that way."

"Yeah, by that's not what I expect to hear from him."

"And what is it?"

"The three words. The three magic words."

"Three magic words?"

"I love you." I rolled my eyes

"Oh, I thought he had already confessed his feelings to you in Italy?"

"Yup, but it was two months ago and it was different. Since I came back from Italy and until last night, I still haven't heard him repeat those words, Craig."

"But he's showing you his love with his actions, right? Remember, actions speak louder than words."

"I know, but I am a woman, Craig, and I am stupid if I say it's fine with me. I need reassurance."

"Why don't you ask him?"

"And what should I ask him? 'Hey, why don't you tell me you love me? Or hey, when will you tell me you love me? I'm still waiting for you to say the magic three words." I looked at him. "Is that what you want me to ask him?"

"Not only that! Why did he pretend that he didn't love you anymore and why did he tell you he will file for a divorce when, in fact, he's head over heels in love with you?"

I bit my lower lip, sighing. Those questions still linger in my head, but before I could open my mouth, we heard Daniel's voice from outside the door followed by his loud knocks. 

"Sophia, are you ready, sweetheart?"

Craig and I shared a look before he mimicked his voice. He even rolled his eyes that made me chuckle. I immediately got up to open the door while he pretended to put my bathroom essentials inside my suitcase. 

"I'm almost done, sweetheart." I smiled the moment I opened the door and saw his handsome face. 

"Do you need help? I'm done with your other suitcase." He asked as he placed his hand around my waist. 

"Nope!" I shake my head. "Craig is already helping me and we're almost done. Anyway, are you not going to work today?"

"No, I have other plans for today." he winked at me which almost made my heart leap from my ribcage. Good heavens, when will I get used to this? My insides melt every time he does that kind of thing. Whew! 

"What about the important meeting you said you had to attend to?"

"Don't worry about it, Andrew and Denise were there to cover up for me."

"Ohh..." I said nodding.
