Chapter 2
His voice was cold and mysterious, yet elegant and melodious. He sounded inexplicably tantalizing,
and Sophia was soon reveling in his voice.
On the other side, the man in the suit, whom she initially thought was her hubby, was standing at the
side respectfully now.
Does that mean that this man standing in front of me, who looks even better than a model in television
shows, is actually my hubby?
So he isn’t bald, nor does he have a beer belly and a t nose? Besides, he doesn’t even haverge,
floppy ears.
Sophia looked at the man in front of her in disbelief while nking at Daniel in a panic.
Daniel was under the scorching sun now since he just had his umbre snatched away. Nevertheless,
he wiped his sweat away calmly while nodding at her. “Mm-hmm, this is your hubby. Quick, address
him as your hubby.”

Sophia was still staring at the man in fear.
She thought that, in the best-case scenario, her hubby wouldn’t be handicapped or too old; she never
expected him to be so perfect. He was so perfect that she felt like she was in a dream.
Sophia was tongue-tied, and she just couldn’t utter that simple word to greet him.
Her hubby, who looked like a prince, did not force her either; instead, he continued shading her with the
umbre while chatting with Daniel.
Sophia did not pay attention to what they were chatting about because she only had one thought in her
mind—Something isn’t right! Something is utterly wrong! Why would such a perfect man not have a
wife and is still a virgin?
He must have some sort of hidden disease; maybe he is impotent and psychotic. In fact, he’s most
probably a super crazy psychopath!
Sophia was so scared that she started trembling uncontrobly.
She heard Daniel speaking, “This is your fate; I so happened to have her in hand, whereas you needed
a woman as well. She has a simple background; she is the illegitimate daughter of a small business
owner.”
Her prince-like hubby was still observing her when he nodded. “Mm-hmm.” It’s much better to marry
such a non-threatening woman. At least she wouldn’t end up like the previous one, who almost died for
no reason. She might be tanned and thin, but her facial features are prominent. I’m sure she’ll look
good after some good maintenance and makeover.
Daniel was extremely pleased with himself. “Her horoscopeplements yours, and that is one in a
million. I’m confident she’ll emerge as a beauty after you take good care of her. Purchasing her for 10
million was definitely a steal!”
Sophia stared at him while looking dumbfounded.
The two men chatted some more, and soon, Sophia followed her hubby into the Maybach nervously
and left the ce.
At that moment, her mind was nk because she had yet to recover from the initial shock of her 10
million worth and the fact that her hubby was just like a prince.
She stole a nce at him in the car, just to make sure that he wasn’t the balding man with arge t
nose she had imagined.
Her hubby was seated beside her, and he spoke to Daniel through the car window, “Let’s have dinner
at night after work.”
The car started, but it did not speed off. The partition panel between the driver’s and back passenger
seat ascended slowly. The car windows were tinted, and so the two of them were left with a private and
isted space. The prince-like hubby, who seemed especially respectable earlier, started making a
move on Sophia once he settled in the car.
His long, prominent, fair hand extended unexpectedly toward her cor. Joe had sent Sophia for a
shower in the hotel beforeing over, and so she had her best clothes on. The pink knee-length
dress made her tanned skin appear even darker. The size did not fit her, and so it was loose around
her waist. She spent 30 to purchase the used dress from her schoolmate, and it was a designer’s
brand!
He ripped off her pink dress in disgust and exposed her white undergarment, which was so worn it had
specks of lint. He stared at it in revulsion.
“What nonsense are you wearing?!”
Sophia curled up underneath him, and her shoulders were trembling uncontrobly. Her skin was fair
as snow, but her face was tanned since she had been living on the streets. She was in shock and
scared simultaneously because she was afraid that the man was a psychopath. rm bells were
ringing in her mind, and so she shoved against his body that was pinning her down.
“When are we getting our marriage certificate? I brought along my household registry and ID card…”
She felt insecure, and so she figured she’d feel better after procuring a marriage certificate.
Her ‘prince’ did not answer her; instead, he spoke directly to the man in a ck suit who was driving
the car, “Hale, head to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
The car changed its direction and sped toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The car ride was bumpy, but he continued his attack on Sophia by groping all over her body.
He caressed her tanned and petite face. There were dark shadows underneath her eyes, and her hair
was as messy as a bird’s nest. Her skin was slightly sallow and malnourished, but her facial features
were delicate and pretty. She hadrge eyes with double eyelids, a tiny pair of lips, and a pretty nose.
Sophia’s eyshes were thick and curly. Her heart-shaped face was set upon a body with fair and
smooth skin; in fact, she was a natural beauty.
However, she looks like a shriveled chick right now!
I don’t believe in horoscopes, but it wouldn’t raise suspicions to have a girl without any background by
my side. Besides, it’s quite fun.
The car soon came to a halt in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Sophia adjusted her clothes while
following her hubby from behind. She checked to make sure that it was the Civil Affairs Bureau before
going in.
She held onto her ID card and household registry carefully. Her mother came to the city twenty years
ago to work for two years. Then, she returned to her vige looking fabulous, and rumors had it that
she became a mistress of a coal business owner in the city. Furthermore, her mother gave birth to her
out of wedlock, and she passed away on the operation table.
Sophia’s uncle raised her until she was 15 before chasing her out of the house. Hence, her household
registry was based on the address of her grandfather’s house. On the household registry, both her
grandfather and grandmother had passed away, and so she was the only one left.
Her hubby appeared to be someone important. Hale had already evacuated the ce before they
entered the Civil Affairs Bureau. There were only staff members left in the bureau’s main hall, and they
were ready to serve them enthusiastically.
They filled in the forms, took a photograph, and procured their marriage certificate. She obtained the
marriage certificate in one go. Upon receiving the red certificate booklet, Sophia stole a nce at her
hubby’s name—Michael Fletcher.
Michael Fletcher, 31 years old. He isn’t that old; in fact, he’s only 13 years older than I am, and I think
it’s eptable.
Sophia got married without a wedding ceremony or anyone’s blessings, and she didn’t have any friends
and family around her. She held onto the red marriage certificate booklet fresh from the oven while
scanning it several times. It was her name and photograph, indeed. Her hubby stood tall and elegant
beside her, and he looked exceptionally handsome.
Sophia felt as if she might have had a fake marriage, and so she pinched her thigh hard. Ouch, that’s
slightly painful.
Michael stated, “I have to keep this private for now because it’s not convenient for me to be married in
my job.”
Sophia nodded. It’s good enough as long as I don’t starve, and it’s best if I can continue attending
school. I don’t wish for anything else.
The two of them got back into the car, and there was a fresh box of condoms avable in the car.
Michael started making a move on Sophia once the car doors were closed. She never expected her
first time to happen in a car. Besides, there was another person at the driver’s side, and so she was
stiff with tension.
It’s true that Michael Fletcher is a psychotic pervert!
Michael was dressed like a gentleman. He had had two former girlfriends in the past—one of them lost
her memory, whereas the other almost died in a car crash, and so he wasbelled as a wife-jinxer.
Furthermore, his identity as a public figure meant that everything he did would be scrutinized under a
magnifying ss. When his dog lost all its fur due to a skin disease, the media stubbornly imed that
he jinxed his dog…
I’m not particrly interested in sex and women, but it would be a waste not to bed the woman I’ve
legally married. I can’t very well let this little girl live like a widow.
He slipped on the protection and held onto her slender ankle while speaking to her in a serious tone,
“Chica, you should be mentally prepared because I’m not very experienced.”
Sophia wasn’t sure how the term ‘chica’ came about, but she was extremely nervous, and so her mind
was nk.
Just when they were at the most critical moment, Daniel called. “Hello? Old man, I’m closing my shop
now. Where are we having dinner? Is Harrying?”
Michael, who was interrupted, cursed angrily, “I’m in the middle of doing something important! Get lost!”
Daniel burst outughing. “I’ll be waiting for you at our old spot!”
After hanging up, Michael pulled his pants up and settled back onto his seat while looking calm and
collected. Sophia’s stomach growled in hunger, and her body was soft and limp. I’m not even sure how
long she has been starving. I can’t just go on; I’d have to feed her well first. After all, she can’t escape
from sleeping with me.
The car drove into High Street, and they walked into a high-end gourmet chain restaurant.
In the restaurant’s private room, Sophia was gobbling food non-stop, whereas Daniel and Michael were
chatting intimately.
Daniel patted Michael’s shoulder whilementing, “You old bachelor, I’ve finally married you off! I’d
like to describe you with a phrase. Hmm… how about ‘getting married as an old fart’? Hahaha…”
Michael ignored Daniel’s teasing; instead, he continued puffing on his cigarette while caressing
Sophia’s messy and chopped-up hair. He looked tenderly at her.
Suddenly, there was a phone call for him, and Michael was greeted with a stern, male voice, “Old man,
there are some issues in Europe…”
Michael looked gloomy after hanging up on the call. Daniel stopped smiling yfully as well. “What
happened?”
Michael answered him in a grave tone, “Some issues cropped up in Europe. I need to rush over
straight away. Hale, get my private ne ready.”
Hale turned around to head out of the room to prepare the ne by making a phone call. However, he
made a double take immediately to ask, “What about madam?”
Sophia felt nervous instantly. I should be starting my senior year soon. I wouldn’t even know when I
might return if I’m all the way in Europe. I’m sure I wouldn’t make it to the orientation for Bayside
University if so!
Michael thought that it was a pity as well. I haven’t gotten a taste of this little girl. It’s a pity to just leave
now. However, I would be preupied even if I were to bring her along to Europe. Besides, it’s
dangerous there.
“How long does it take to get to the airport now?” Michael felt that it wasn’t toote if he made use of
whatever time he had left.
After checking the route, Hale answered seriously, “Traffic is smooth throughout the highway to the
airport. It’ll take 20 minutes at most from here to the airport.”
After reporting to Michael, Hale added, “Is 20 minutes enough for you…?”
