Taming Mr. Cold and Arrogant novel Chapter 5

Twenty minutes later, my phone rings and I saw Alex's number flash on the screen.

"Fucking sake, Alex! I don't know what happened to Rian! Damn it! I was just---"

"Hey, hey, Dani, it's me!" I was cut off by my sister's voice.

"Rian? Is that you?" relief instantly washed over me.

"Yes. It's me, Dani. I'm fine."

"What happened to you? I heard your scream, forgodsake! What the fuck happened Rian? Tell me, are you okay?"

"Come down, Dani. I'm okay and don't worry, nothing happened."

"And what does it mean that nothing happened, Arriana Angela?"

"Ouch! My full name!"

I know how much she also hates when I've always mentioned her full name.

"I told you, I'm fine. I just called to let you know I'm safe, so don't worry about me, okay? I'm going to tell you what happened, but not now."

"Make sure of it, Rian!"

"Yeah, I promise"

Then I remember who's number she is using at the moment.

"Wait a minute! Why are you using Alex's phone? Where is your phone? Where are you right now? Are you with him?"

She suddenly turned quiet.

"Rian! I'm waiting. Where are you and Alex right now?"

"Hi, bro."

My eyebrows crunched when I heard Alex's voice.

"Alex? Where are you and why did my sister use your phone?"

"Why, what's wrong with that? I'm her husband."

"That's not what I meant! I swear Alex, I'm gonna fucking kill you if anything happens to Rian!"

"Hey, relax Daniel." he chuckled. "She's fine now and don't worry, I'm here for her."

"Wait! What do you mean she's now fine? So, what exactly happened earlier?"

"Ahm... she just tripped over the small stone as she  walked, so she fell to the ground and accidentally threw her phone."

"Okay, but why do I hear the noise of police vehicles?"

"It's on the other street, they were in an operation."

"Hmm... so what are the current situations of you and my sister right now? You suddenly called her your wife." I smirked.

"Why, isn't she really my wife?"

"In words Alex, yes she's your wife. But in action, she's not."

Then I heard him sighed. "I'm sorry, bro."

"What do you mean by your sorry? And don't apologize to me because I'm not your wife. You better tell her that."

"I know and I will."

"And Alex, take care of her. I know you loved my sister, so don't wait until it's too late."

"I'll do it all this time." I smiled when I heard the determination in his voice.

"Okay, I'll wait for that. Thank you, just tell my sister goodnight... I mean goodmor-night."

"Okay bro, take care."

Sophia's POV:

"Okay guys, one last practice and you're ready to go," I told all my afternoon students as I pressed the play button on our radio speaker.

"Yes! Thanks, Ms Sophia!" They all shouted in unison as they exchanged high fives.

I just smiled at them. "Are you ready for the competition next week?"

"Yes, Ms Sophia. We are excited about that event."

"Okay, good luck, guys."

They were my last students for today and they were in a thorough practice for their modern dance competition next week. And next month, maybe after the wedding, Craig and I will also be very busy with our international dance competition.

I was already in the middle of the dancefloor and ready to begin the steps when I heard Craig's voice.

"Sophia, you have a phone call."

I turned and saw him waving my cellphone and standing at the door of my office.

"Who's that?" I asked a little bit louder due to the blaring music coming from the speaker.

"Mrs Kelley."

I nodded and turned to my students who were now dancing.

"Guys, please continue your practice. Teacher Craig will guide you for a while."

I said before rushing to Craig.

"Thanks. Can you watch them please?" I asked him when he gave me the phone.

"Sure."

I walked into my office before swiping the answer button.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Kelley."

"Hi, Sophia. Good afternoon. Are you busy?"

"Hmm... no ma'am."

"What about tonight, do you have schedules or plans for this evening? I hope you're free."

I smiled. "Yeah, I'm actually free for tonight."

"Great! Can I invite you for dinner tonight? It's just a family dinner."

"Ohh..." I bit my lower lip.

"Please, sweetie? I just want to introduce you to my husband, and of course to talk about the engagement preparation."

"Okay, ma'am."

"So, are you coming?"

I sighed. "Yes, I will."

"Oh, thank you! My driver will pick you up at seven tonight."

"No ma'am, it's okay. I'll just use my car."

"Are you sure, sweetie?"

"Yes, ma'am. May I have your address?"

"Oh sure, I'll send you our address after this call. Thank you, Sophia."

"You're welcome, Mrs Kelley."
