Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 28: Rian is missing

Sophia's POV:

"Congratulations, Mrs. Smith you're ten weeks pregnant."

Rian glanced at me with tears forming in her eyes when the doctor shows her little bump on the screen.

"Wow, he's so cute, Belle." She said wiping her tears. The doctor continued to show her the different

angles of the baby inside her belly.

"Congratulations, Rian. I'm sure Alex will be glad about it."

"Yeah, actually I'm planning to give him the results as my birthday gift to him tomorrow."

"Really? Well, I think that's the best gift he will ever receive tomorrow."

"Do you think he'll like it?"

I furrowed my eyebrows with her questions.

"Of course, who wouldn't like the gift of being a father? Actually, you don't really have to ask that

question because I'm sure he'll love that news."

I said smiling as I hold her hand.

"He's going to be a father and you're both going to be parents."

"Yeah, and you're going to be an Aunt."

My smile vanished when I heard the word 'Aunt'.

"A fake Auntie for a year." I shrugged as I gave her a half-hearted smile.

"Of course, not! You were legally married, Belle so that means you're going to be his or her real Aunt."

I just shook my head and watched how the doctor print the sonogram report.

"Anyway, why are we talking about our marriage, shouldn't we be talking about Alex's birthday

celebration tomorrow and about your surprise for him?"

She just rolled her eyes.

"Mrs. Smith, your baby is healthy, just avoid too much stress and you need to have enough rest every

day. And I have prescribed vitamins and maternal milk for you and for your baby's healthy development Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

inside your tummy."

The doctor said while giving Rian her prescription and the sonogram result.

"Thank you, Dr. Steve."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Smith. Our next meeting will be next month, but if there are things you don't

understand about your pregnancy and you're confused, you can call me anytime." She said smiling and

give Rian her calling card.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Steve, I'll remember that."

We parted our ways after Rian's consultation with her OBGyne. She said she's going to visit Alex in his

office while I decided to go home to change my clothes, and to get my laptop that I forgot to bring

earlier.

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

I frowned when I noticed the new sports car in the garage as I parked my car.

"Good afternoon, Mam Sophia."

I turned around to see Erwin, Daniel's driver smiling at me.

"Good afternoon, do you know who owns this new car?" I asked him pointing the gray CCXR Trevita.

"Yes Mam, it's your husband's new sports car collection." He replied smiling but it almost caused my

eyeballs to pop out of my sockets.

"Wow! He bought a new car again? Huh! Look at what money can do. Tsk.tsk.tsk."

I said shaking my head while swirling the car key on my finger. He didn't say anything, he just gave me

a knowing smile.

"You know what, Erwin if I were him, I would rather donate my money to the Government Institutions or

Foundations such as Mother of perpetual help and Sacred heart foundation that helps those children

who were left by their parents, or those patients who were suffering from cancer, instead of buying a

new sports car! For what, just for his new collection?"

I asked him as if he's the one who bought the car.

"Why don't you just tell him all your suggestions, Mam?" He asked suddenly laughing at me.

I rolled my eyes. "As if he would listen to me, duh!"

"Why not, you are his wife I'm sure he will listen to you."

I just chuckled but didn't comment anything on it.

"Anyway, why are you here and where's your boss?"

"He's in his study room, Mam Sophia."

"Hmm." I nodded. "Thanks, Erwin."

Swirling the keys on my fingers, I walked towards the front door and left him standing in the garage.

Although I was curious to know why Daniel was here, I would never ask even his driver because I don't

want him to think that I'm interested in his life.

When I didn't find anyone in the living room, I went up to my room to take a bath and change my

clothes.

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

I was about to go to the kitchen when I heard a loud knock from the front door, so I turned around to

open it just to see Alex standing outside looking haggard and disheveled.

"Alex?"

"Is Rian's here?"

I frowned with the first question he asked me.

"No, she's not here, why?" I asked opening the door widely.

He stepped inside and dropped himself on the couch as he brushed his hair frustratedly.

"Fuck! Where is she?"

I don't understand what's going on and why he's looking for his wife here.

"Sophia, what's happening here---Alex?" I heard Daniel's voice from behind. "What are you doing

here?" But Alex ignored him and so am I.

"We were together this morning. Actually I went with her to the OBGyne clinic but after that, she said

she's going to your office. Why, what happened?"

"So you know that she's pregnant?"

He asked me back, ignoring my last question.

"Wait! Who are you talking about? Who's pregnant?" Daniel asked again, but no one answered him.

"Yes, we had told her for a long time to consult a doctor so she could understand her pregnancy and

it's symptoms. She said she wants to give the results to you as her birthday gift for your birthday

tomorrow."

"Oh, fuck!" He cursed dropping his head in his hands as he put his elbows on his knees.

"Is there anyone of you who can answer my question!"

My head snapped at Daniel when he suddenly screamed. He's now glaring at us.

"God damned it, Daniel! Are you that slow?" I also glared at him. "Who do you think we are talking

about being pregnant which concerns to Alex?"

He looked at me forming his fists but I chuckled sarcastically.

"Ahh... maybe his dog or their neighbor's cat or maybe their chicken----"

"Jesus Christ, woman! Can you stop your mouth from swearing!" he shouted narrowing his eyes at me.

I smirked and raised my eyebrow.

"Oh! You call them swearing, sweetheart? Well, I just call them 'sentence enhancers'!"

"And you really talking back at me?"

"For you it's talking back but for me, I call it 'explaining'!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Jeez----"

"Forgodsake! Can the two of you shut up for a moment and set aside your husband and wife's issue?"

He didn't finish what he about to say when Alex suddenly shouts. We both looked at him but not before

rolling my eyes to my annoyed husband.

"Rian is missing, guys." Alex said brushing his hair again.

"What?"

We looked at each other as we asked in unison.

"She's pregnant, I saw the results of her check-up and ultrasound. She didn't notice it was left on my

secretary's desk before she run towards the elevator and left the office."

"But why would she run knowing she was pregnant? Didn't she talk to you?" I asked taking a seat

across him, but I raised my eyebrow when Daniel sat down next to me.

"No, she saw Francine inside my office and maybe she heard her insisting that I was the father of her

child."

"Wait! Who's that Francine?" I asked shocked.

"Francine was his first girlfriend." I looked at Daniel who answered my question.

His face held seriousness while he's looking straight at Alex.

"Is the child really yours?" He asked clenching his jaws.

"No, he's not mine. Francine and I had sex before, but I can't remember not using protection."

I bite my lips as I felt the tension between the two men. I know how Daniel loves his sister and I

honestly can't blame him if he suddenly stood up and hit Alex, but to my surprise, he's still calmly sitting

beside me and I don't know what's running inside his mind right now.

"Oh, my God! Where is she now? Have you tried to call all her friends?" I asked him again.

"I did, but she's not there."

"I believe in you, Alex, but you have to find my sister. Because I swear to God I'll kill you when

something bad happens to her and to my nephew!"

"What if it's a girl, that means your niece." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"I believe it's a boy!" Daniel snapped at me.

"And what if it's a girl?"

"It's a boy!"

We were in the middle of our little fight when Alex stood up and walked towards the front door.

"Alex." He turned to me when I called him. "I'll try to call her and inform you immediately when she

answered it."

"Thanks, Belle." He gave me a half-hearted smile.

Daniel walked with him outside while I was left in the living room and started to dial some of her friend's

contact number.
