Chapter 6 I Dislike You

• SOPHIA CASTILLO
• If one didn't know Adrian, it was easy to fall in love with his eyes.
• He has the most beautiful blue eyes. They were very attractive and blue being my favorite color has never looked this attractive.
• But when you get to know him and you stare into his eyes, all you want is to never look at them ever again.
• I remember the first time I saw his eyes, I fell in love with them but after the way he treated me, blue became the ugliest color to me.
• His eyes mortify me all the time I look at them because all I can see in them for me is nothing but disgust.
• "Get up," he demanded as he stood back on his feet with both hands in his pants pocket.
• I furrowed my brows in confusion.
• "I won't be repeating myself, Sophia," he said firmly and I quickly got up on my feet.
• "Good," he said before leaning towards me.
• "I won't be tolerating your attitude anymore. I do not want a repeat of this morning Sophia. You are not to raise your voice at me, never. Am I clear?" He said firmly and I nodded my head while fidgeting with my nails.
• I was nervous. He stood too close to me for my liking and it only made the knots in my stomach tighten.
• "I need words from you, Sophia. I do not appreciate you nodding your head," he said.
• "Yes...sir," I said.
• "Good," he nodded his head before standing up straight.
• "Firstly, I want you to go in there, take your bath and get rid of these pajamas," he demanded.
• I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.
• "I already took my bath," I informed him.
• "Really? So why are you still dressed in this?" He asked.
• "I haven't gotten any clothes to wear," I answered him.
• "Follow me," he said and began to walk.
• I hesitated for some seconds before following him.
• Adrian opened a door and went in and I followed him in. I was surprised to see that there was a dressing room in the room.
• I didn't know about it after all I was new to the mansion. I didn't know anywhere in the mansion yet.
• "Those are your clothes, you can wear any of them," he said pointing at feminine clothes hung on a rack.
• I blinked my eyes in surprise.
• Those weren't my clothes and I never got any of them so I wonder who got them and how they knew my size when I went through the clothes.
• I clear my throat getting Adrian's attention.
• "If you do not...mind...me...asking. I...," I trailed off not knowing how to ask him the questions I have in my heart.
• "What is it?" He asked in a deep voice and I shuddered.
• "Who got the clothes?" I asked after mustering some courage.
• "That shouldn't be your problem. Change into them and come down for dinner," he said before turning on his heels to leave the room.
• I heaved a sigh of relief once he was out of the place. I was still curious to know how got the clothes for me and how they knew my size but if one thing I knew, it was that Adrian didn't get any of them for me.
• "Come in," I said after hearing a knock on the door.
• The door opened and Sarah came in.
• "Good evening ma'am. Sir Adrian asked me to get you," she informed me and I nodded my head.
• "Okay."
• I followed her up the stairs and into the dining room.
• "So what took you long?" Adrian asked the moment I stepped my feet Into the dining table.
• "I..I.." I was cut off by Adrian.
• "Just hold it. I do not want to hear it. Come sit down," he demanded.
• I did as told and sat down opposite Adrian on the table as I didn't want to be close to him and lose my composure.
• The last time I had dinner with Adrian before our wedding and broke a plate because he had made me nervous, he made me feel worse than I already was and I had no intention of repeating that mistake.
• The moment my eyes landed on the food, I felt my stomach grumble. I haven't eaten since morning and I had no appetite also but now I was feeling very ugly.
• After the food was being served, I began to eat.
• I stopped eating when I felt Adrian's hot gaze on me.
• I swallowed the food in my mouth down my throat with struggle as I wondered why Adrian was staring at me for.
• "You never seize to prove me right. I mean take a look at how you are eating, like a poor woman touching wealth for the first time. Without control you are devouring the food like a hungry lion who has been starved for days," he clicked his tongue and I clenched the fork in my hands.
• From the moment I met Adrian, all he has done is ridicule me. All he has done is call me names that I was not and find fault in everything that I do.
• I had to tolerate all of this because he had a point, I had married him to help my father but what he was wrong about was my father conniving against him.
• "Are those tears I see in your eyes?" He asked.
• A bead of tears landed on the table and I quickly wiped them away.
• "Oh spare me that. Why do you have to cry all the time? Is that some talent of yours or what?" He chided.
• I lifted my head and my eyes locked with the eyes of the maid who was standing behind him. She was looking at me with pity and I hated it and so I got up from the table and ran back to my room.
• I dislike you, Adrian. I dislike you so much.
