Chapter - 04
Nick''s POV
"Son , I have some great news for you", Dad barged into my cabin with a grinning face.
" Go on " , I said looking back into the files.
" You are getting married " , he said.
I chuckled ."Nice one Dad " . I waited for him to say something but when he didn''t I looked up.
His face had no hint of humor.
" You can''t be serious !"
"Oh I am son , you are getting married to Mr. David''s daughter, Sophia . They have epted my
proposal."
" Dad you know that marriage is just not my thing."
" Well you can try . Besides she will be a nice mother to Ethan. Stop just thinking about yourself, think
of the little child. "
"How can you say that! You saw her once and you think that she will be a good mother to Ethan. She
maybe something else under her facade for god''s sake." I shouted in exasperation.
"Don''t raise your voice young man and I as a matter of fact have a better choice in women than you . I
very well know that she is not like the gold digger that you keep around these days ... Christina right ?"
" Sure , she isn''t "
I don''t know how can Dad not see her intentions. We weren''t properly introduced and she is ready for
the marriage . What else if not for money?
" You are marrying her , end of discussion. I have had enough of your yboy ways. It''s time for you to
settle down. Tonight they areing to dinner. I expect you to be there by 7 " with that he left.
I was so fucking pissed. First marriage and then this stupid dinner.
I drowned myself in work to get away from all these thoughts for the while but every now and then I
remembered her face .
Her brown hair , her grey mesmerizing eyes, soft kissable lips ...
Urgh .. stop it , she is just a gold digger.
Sophia''s POV
It was half past 5 and we had to the Carters'' for dinner. So I got up to get ready.
I took a warm shower and blow dried my hair. I wore an one-shoulder blue jumpsuit, put my hair down
and put on minimal makeup . Ipleted my look with a pair of dazzling earrings and heels
I came down to the living room where mom and dad were already waiting.
"Oh you look gorgeous honey " , momplimented.
"You look beautiful as well " , I smiled.
"Now Princess, let''s get going." Dad said checking his watch.
We got into our car and drove to the Carter Mansion.
When we arrived there I was surprised at how huge it was.
A maid opened the door and let us in. I looked around. The interior was even more magnificent and
every corner screamed wealth. I was always ufortable with too much riches . I felt out of ce
and was reconsidering my decision when a familiar warm voice greeted us.
" David , good evening " , Mr. Carter greeted us cheerfully.
" Good evening Mr. Carter " Dad greeted back.
"Oh leave the formalities , call me Joseph "
Dad smiled back.
Just then a tall woman in her mid fifties walked in with a bright smile. She was beautiful and had the
perfect figure . She came and greeted mom.
" I am Juliana , Joseph''s wife. Nice to meet you, Amelia right ? " She asked.
"Yes , that will be me " , mom warmly smiled.
"And you''re Sophia , you really are a beauty. I have been waiting to meet you since Joseph told me
about you ."
"Thank you Mrs. Carter , I was looking forward to this meeting as well." , I replied.
" Nowe in ." She showed us the way into the living space.
We were making small talks when the doorbell rang and in a few minutes , the ever-so-handsome
Nichs Carter came in . He was wearing a ck shirt that showed off his muscles in the perfect way.
His first two buttons were undone and he looked strikingly gorgeous.
I averted my eyes before he saw me checking him out.
Nick''s POV
"Son , meet Mr. David , his wife Amelia and their beautiful daughter Sophia " , my mom introduced
them.
I shook hands with them and gave a small smile to Sophia. She looked absolutely beautiful. Her face
looked quite natural and she looked like a genuine person but I knew better than this.
I had already decided that I would behave like a gentleman and marry her. She wants to marry my
wealth. I will show the gold digger what she will get from this marriage.
"Sophia " , Ethan squealed and sprinted from Amy''s hold towards Sophia.
Sophia smiled and ced him on herp.
"Hey , sweetheart " , she shed a big smile.
"Are you Grandma''s friend ? Will youe again ? " Ethan looked at Sophia with hopeful eyes.
" No baby she is going to marry your Dad." Mom answered for her.
His face changed from a nk to an excited one . He looked up at Sophia.
"That means you are going to stay with us ! It will be so much fun ." He pumped his fist in the air.
Sophia giggled at his antics. Her giggle sounded so pure and sweet.
Focus ! pure!? my ass!
" Yes, it will be fun. " she smiled.
The dinner went with the parents talking of a lot of things and us stealing asional nces of each
other.
Us ... Sounds good
Shut up ! There''s no us.
By the end of the dinner our wedding was fixed at the end of the next week.
Mom gave me the ring to give Sophia.
" I am so happy right now , I would love to have you as my daughter-inw " Mom hugged Sophia with
a look of .... adoration?
"Thank you Mrs. Carter "
"Oh you make me sound so old , call me Mom " Mom demanded
Why the hell ? Dad , Ethan and Mom as well ? She was a tough one. I never saw her so warm with
ra but there she was smiling andplimenting Sophia.
"Sure Mrs. - I mean Mom " she gave in .
"Okay we will take your leave now ", Mr. Jones spoke.
"It was lovely meeting you Juliana" , Amelia smiled a mom.
"Oh the pleasure was all mine ."

"Bye Ethan " , Sophia bent down and kissed him on his cheek.
"Bye Sophia " , Ethan hugged her when she returned.
She stood up and looked at me for a second and turned to leave.
I looked at my hand more specifically the ring.
Engaged pheew!
