Third person P.O.V.

Answers. All Sofia wanted was answers for whatever happened last night. If he loves Candy then why did he marry her? Currently Sofia is sitting in the kitchen when Brandon decided to show up.

"Hello!" She greeted and as always he didn't greet back.

"Why are you treating me like this?" She asked and he ignored.

"Why can't we live like every other normal couple?" She asked again and he ignored her again.

"If you're not going to tell me, I'll just call Alex and ask him." Now he looked at her with pure hatred and anger.

"You want answers? Here, I am 25 and you're fucking 18, I never wanted to marry a child, an uneducated spoiled brat who don't know anything other than to cry. Grandpa forced me into this marriage because of you my own Grandpa blackmailed me saying he will take the CEO chair from me." He said angrily, shoving both of her shoulders with his strong hands.

"I. DON'T. LOVE. YOU." He stressed every word like he wanted her brain to perceive it.

"What have I ever done to deserve this kind of treatment from you?" His face showed nothing but anger.

"Why can't you just love me? I love you, Brandon and I want you to love me back." Sofia said.

"Who would love you? You're a piece of trash just waiting to be discarded." He said coldly and left.

He left her standing there and went to his room to wake Candy up. He didn't see her falling on the ground in a heap. He didn't see her crying her heart out.

'He hates me? But why? Maybe I am not beautiful enough that Candy is way more beautiful then me.' Sofia thought.

Its been one month since they returned from Germany and its been two weeks since she last saw Brandon. One week after coming back to USA, Brandon went to Italy to handle some business with Alex. After that incident Sofia ignored him but didn't give up her love for him. She still had hope. She wanted his love and his time. That's all she wanted.

She was cooking dinner, when she heard someone talking on the phone. She could hear Brandon entered inside the house.

"I'll make sure you get the deal, Alex." His manly voice sounded like music to her ears. He looked like a Greek god. 'Why is he so handsome?' Sofia asked herself.

"Hey, Brandon!" Sofia said after he was done talking on the phone.

"What?" He asked irritated.

"Good Evening! You must be hungry, go freshen up, I'll set the table." Sofia said and kissed his cheeks.

"Grandpa, mama and Alex are coming for dinner today. I already ordered dinner from outside. Go and change your clothes, they will be here in an hour." Brandon said expressionless.

After an hour she was all ready, changed into beautiful clothes. She went downstairs to be greeted by her mama, Alex and Brandon's grandpa.

"My princess!" Her mama hugged her tightly.

"Hush! I also want to hug my strawberry." Brandon's Grandpa said.

"Grandpa!" Sofia said and hugged him, he kissed her forehead.

"What about me?" Alex said with a pout.

"Oh no! I miss my partner in crimes too." Sofia said and hugged him.

"I am also here." Brandon told them about his existence in the same house.

"Aww! My Brandy Boo, come here and give me a hug." Alissa (Sofia's mother) said.

"Don't call me that, mama." Brandon winced. Brandon is used to call her mama since his parents died. Alissa never differentiate between Alex, Sofia and Brandon.

"I am so happy because all my three kids are happy." Alissa said.

"So how was your honeymoon, princess?" Alissa asked Sofia.

"Umm! Let's eat!" Since it was difficult for Sofia to lie. She tried to change the subject.

"Tell me, princess!" Alissa said to her daughter.

"It was amazing. Wasn't it Sofia?" Brandon said and Sofia blushed because it was the first time he called her by her name after marriage.

"No need to tell. Blush is telling us all." Alissa teased her daughter and on the other hand Brandon was amused seeing her becoming tomato for nothing.

"I am hungry as hell." Alex exclaimed.

"OK! I'll set a table." Sofia said.

"Do you need help, Sofia?" Alissa asked.

"No, mommy! Thank you very much!" Sofia said and went to the kitchen.

"So when are you both blessing us with my grandchildren?" Grandpa asked Brandon.

"Sofia is 18, Grandpa." Brandon complained, fully annoyed of the question.

"So? My little princess is not so little anymore." Alissa said.

"That's why you're still calling her little?" Brandon asked.

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"So when are you going to transfer the business under Brandon's name, Grandpa?" Alex asked changing the subject.

"In two months." Grandpa replied and Brandon sighed.

'I have to tolerate her for two more months.' Brandon thought.
