Chapter 4 (Be my wife please)
1904 Words
Sofia's POV.
I put the kids to sleep and I quickly went to bed. The whole day I was angry with myself because of that ex-husband of mine. I literally wanted to kill him because he called me fat. How dare he call me fat when he is the one that got me pregnant at the first place.
I wanted to tell him but I don't know how. I'm sure he is going to think I want to trap him with a child that may not be his even though he can be the only father. I never slept with anyone besides Benjamin so his the only father to this child.
My phone started peeping and I quickly looked at the messages. It was all from Nicholas.
Mr annoying : You didn't call today!
Mr annoying : I waited for your call.
Mr annoying : How was today? I miss you all.
Mr annoying : since when are you and Geneva friends? She asked me about you.
Me : I'm sorry I didn't call, I was so busy and stressed that I forgot. Emily and Elijah both missed you so much.
Mr annoying : What about you? Or did you miss me so much that you can't even say it?
I giggled and rolled my eyes. He is really so full of himself.
Me : NEVER! By the way when are you bringing me the surprises. It's been weeks!
He has been bragging about having a surprise that will make me speechless and not once did he show me the big surprise.
Mr annoying : After tomorrow's party, I'll call someone and arrange it.
Me : Okay. Enjoy the party.
Mr annoying : Honey did you forget you owe me two favors. You will be going with me to the party because single people can't come.
Me : I'm sorry but I can't leave my babies alone and plus what kind of a stupid party is that?
Mr annoying : I arranged everything for them already. It's my business party Sofia and everyone that works for me are the only once that can come if they single.
Me : That means you can also go alone.
I can't believe he is so stupid to even figure that out himself.
Mr annoying : Beauty with no brains! I organized the party, I set the rules, I must be a good example and bring a wife with me because it's for married couple.
Me : let me get this, you allowed your employees to come when they not all married but you have to be with a partner?
Mr annoying : Yep! Now will you be my date?
Me : I guess I owe you a lot.
Mr annoying : I'll send you the dress and everything else you need. Make sure Emily looks so hot because we will be taking her with and Elijah will be babysit by my cousin.
Me : I'll tell him but if he doesn't want to stay with your cousin than I'm not going.
Mr annoying : Thanks. Now what did you do the whole day my girl?
I read his message and before I could answer I received a message from a new number.
Unknown : Why are you awake this time?
Me : Who are you to ask.
Unknown : You still angry about today? I'm sorry okay.
Me : Benjamin?
Unknown : Miss me already?
Me : Uhmm, the kids missed you a lot. Emily even cried.
Benjamin : I miss them more. And you? Did you miss me?
I wanted to tell him I miss him more than anything but there was no way I would sound so desperate.
Me : Did you?
Benjamin : I asked first.
If he missed me he would've just said yes rather than changing it. I know he probably just wants me to say yes so he can mock me.
Me : Why would I miss you?
Benjamin : I did.
I read his message and my heart skipped a beat. Did he really miss me?
After a couple of minutes I started typing and before I could even send he send another message.
Benjamin : that was meant for someone else.
His stupid message broke my heart.
Benjamin : Can I ask you a favor please?
He broke me heart and yet he wants to ask me a favor. What could he possible want? My broken heart.
Me : I won't be available tomorrow night, I already have plans but if it something else than I'll see if I can do it.
Benjamin : Never mind! I was going to ask if I could come over.
Me : Sorry, goodnight.
I went over to Nicholas.
Mr annoying : Sleeping beauty who are you chatting with?
Mr annoying : Do I have a competition?
Me : Goodnight. Sleep well and see you tomorrow for the party.
Mr annoying : Wait a second! Who said you have an off day at work?
Me : I'm your date and I'm pregnant so please I need to rest.
Me annoying : fine, but this is your last time because business and friends don't mix love. Goodnight and look after yourself, bye.
I read his message and quickly closed my eyes to sleep. He really is so sweet and he is the best boss ever.

The day went passed so quick that it was already time for the party. I'm so happy Benjamin agreed to leave when I asked him to and Elijah agreed to stay with Nicholas cousin for the night. Emily has been so so excited today, I don't even know why?
"Say Nick, not even Nicholas. Just Nick please." Nicholas said to Emily holding her up.
"She is probably going to say momma first so stop forcing her." I told Nick as I came downstairs.
"You just jealous, I'm her favorite." Nicholas replied. "By the way you look so beautiful but you can't beat Emily." I giggled and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Shall we?" He asked and we all left.
I just hope Elijah doesn't kill anyone.
"So everyone there tonight will be married?" I asked and he nod going on his knees.
"Will you be my wife please?" Nicholas asked and I shook my head. "Just for the night beauty with no brains." He added giving me the ring.
"I thought it was just a date, not a married thing." I mumbled angry as we got in the limo.
"You the reason why Emily can't talk. I mean you do all the talking and she---."
"Nana." Emily said her first word and I grabbed her from Nicolas.
"Say it again Em." I said excited.
"I can't believe she said Nick first." Nicholas replied.
"It was mama." I corrected him.
"No. It was Nick." He tried taking Emily from me but I refused.
"Fine, I'll be honest. It was nana which is close to mama." I finally said the truth but he didn't believe me.
"It is her nickname for me. Nana is closer to Nick. They both start with an N so stop being jealous." He quickly answered. "Em you the most beautiful girl on earth, you said uncle Nick's name first, right?" He was talking to her as if she would answer him. He really is just as stupid is Benjamin.
"Dada." Emily said as the car stopped.
"No, you can't say dada. Emily Car--Valentines you can't say your father before me." I was panicking because there was no way both my children would say dada before me.
"Why are you so angry over her calling her father before you." Nicholas laughed taking Emily from me. "She said my name first so I'll get her a car when she's ten." We both got out of the car.
"You not her father and plus she said nana first." I replied as we walked in. There were too many journalists and other people that I wanted to just bury myself somewhere.
"Why don't you smile for the camera, even Em is smiling." Nicholas said as they started taking pictures of us.
"Can I borrow these." I didn't wait for his answer, I quickly took his sunglasses and wore them because there's no way Benjamin can see these pictures of me and Nicholas.
"Why are you so scared of the camera?" Nicholas asked annoyed as we went inside. "Come let me introduce you to some of my business partners." I followed Nick.
"The man of the hour." One of the men's said and he chuckled. "Is this your kid?"
"Well, what can I say, I'm a very lucky guy. I got a beautiful wife and a child." Nicholas replied laughing.
"You move on so quick Mr Russo but I must say your wife reminds me so much of someone." Another man said and it hit me. He is the same guy I used to swear when I was with Benjamin. "Did I already meet you before, beautiful?"
"Me? I-uhmm---No." I stuttered and Nicholas faked a smile.
"She's just so beautiful that's why you guys probably think you have seen her. Maybe you did in your dreams but definitely not in reality." Nicholas always had a way with his words but when it comes to women his arrogant and don't let me even start about how he gets at work.
"Hey girl." Geneva said playing with Emily's cheeks. "Can I please keep her, I promise I won't drink."
"Nope." Nicholas refused walking away with Emily.
"She's not even your daughter Nicholas, don't be rude to Geneva." I whispered to Nicholas. "Just let her hold her please."
"Make sure you take care of my child." He told Geneva as he handed Emily to her. "I'll fire you and make your life a living hell if anything happens to Em."
"Yes Mr Russo, I'll guide her with my life." Geneva replied faking a smile and Nicolas and the other guys walked away from us. "He is so arrogant and an asshole, I wish I didn't love my job."
"He is probably just strict because of work but his really nice if you get to know him." She sighed and we walked to the food section. "I didn't know you married." I added.
"I'm not. I'm actually not even dating but everyone here today is married except some of Mr Russo's employees." She answered.
"Oh, so everyone else that isn't his employees must be married?" I asked and she nod her head. "Who else is here that is rich?" The only reason I asked was to make sure Carlos wasn't here because his the only one married in the group.
"Well, there's a lot. The Santiago cousin's couldn't make it and they both married I think." I was thankful Carlos wasn't here and his stupid cousin Maxwell. "But I think I saw Mr Carson here. I still have a crush on him but it's not like he would notice an average girl like me." I was shock at her words, but I'm sure she's talking about his father. Maybe Benjamin's father Xander got married to his girlfriend.
"Mr Xander Carson is here?" I know his girlfriend is young but I would've never thought Geneva would have a crush on my ex-husbands father.
"No." She played with Emily's cheeks as she blushed. "I would never say I have a crush on him if I was talking about Mr Xander and plus Charlotte as a daughter in law is hell." We both giggled but I was still curios about who Mr Carson was.
"If you not talking about Xander Carson than who you talking about?" I questioned and she blushed not even answering. "Geneva come on, tell me who makes you so speechless and blush every single time you think about him?"
"It's Benjamin Carson but don't tell anyone." I almost dead when I heard her say his name. He can't see me here or else his going to think I got married as soon as I divorced him. I still love him even though I can't be with him, but wait a second if only married people are allowed here than what the hell is he doing here?
Did he get married?
