I really hated this sunlight at this moment because it's hitting right at my face and disturbing my peaceful sleep.

The bed is really comfy that I didn't want to get up. But I didn't have any windows in my room. Then sunlight?

I jerked up from my sleep and looked around in panic. Where am I? I looked at my dress and then I remembered what changed in one day.

God, I'm married now, and that to Blaize. I sighed and covered my face.

I remember last night how he held me close, took care of me and I was awake when he brought me home. I just didn't have the energy to do anything.

It's the ritual that the groom carries his wife to the room and I'm happy that unknowingly Blaize completed it too.

Whatever Blaize did last night, it gives me a hope that I still carry a little place in his heart.

It means in the future our marriage can work, I just need to be very patient with him and take baby steps, maybe I'll be able to win his love.

I was really happy that a hope of our future emerged in me but soon the happy feeling turned into sadness.

Mom hasn't woken up yet, last night in the car, I was really happy to hear that the operation was successful. I thought I would finally be able to talk to her and be with her.

But my hopes got lost when I found that she didn't wake up. That's why I lost my mind last night, everything came rushing up at once and I couldn't handle it.

I'm happy that Blaize was there to hold me. Now I have lost all hopes that mom will ever wake up but I'm happy that she is still here.

What if she can't talk to me, I can still talk to her, touch her and hold her hand and share my feelings with her. I'm happy in that only.

I'm also happy that finally blaize and I can work out in the future too.

With that thought I got ready in white frock dress with black legging and black flats. I did my hair in Ponytail and wore a watch in my right hand.

Again I didn't use any makeup except lotion and made my way out.

After like forever I found stairs which lead me down, how big is this mansion? So many rooms and corridors it feels like I'm in some Castle with these many portraits and all that.

A maid led me to the breakfast table, Christian and Blaize were already sitting there.

"Good morning Angel" Christian greeted me happily while Blaize was lost in his phone. I know he loves his work.

"Go-Good Morning Mr. William" I smiled and sat beside him. I saw Blaize giving me side eyes but moved to his phone when he saw I was looking.

"What? Now you are my daughter in law and I would like you to call me Dad" Christian said and I hesitated.

I had never called anyone dad, even my dad had passed away when I wasn't even born. I took a deep breath and nodded. "Okey D-dad" he smiled and continued his breakfast.

I looked around to search Sofia but it looks like she isn't home. I mean, I haven't seen her since I met Williams.

She wasn't at the success celebrating party, neither I saw her coming to office at once, she wasn't on marriage too and nor in Wedding celebration party.

What if just like Blaize, she hates me too? Or she doesn't like me to marry her son?

"Do you need anything? What are you looking for?" Chri- I mean Dad asked.

"Uhm, I didn't see Sofia at any party, she wasn't at the wedding either, isn't she home?" I asked again looking around.

There was a pin drop silence for a minute and I looked at them confused. Dad has a very painful expression for a second but he masked it expertly.

Blaize also had a blank expression. "She-she passed away"

Dad's words made me freeze.

She passed away.

She passed away.

I really didn't want to believe my ears, she passed away? What? When? Why? How?

"On this Christmas it will be complete 7 years, since she passed away" my breath hitched as I heard, when it happened.

Is this why Blaize never contacted me again? But why? I was really confused.

"H-how?" I asked in a small voice.

Sofia was very dear to my heart, after mom she was the motherly figure in my life and hearing that she passed away very long ago, broke my heart.

"She had an accident, she saved a child in a road accident but couldn't save herself" lone tear drop from my eyes.

She had a pure heart and I'm so proud of her that she saved a life. But then why didn't anyone call me that time, I could have flown alone, neither Blaize nor Chris once called me for this.

I was enjoying Christmas there happily while here they all were suffering for the precious loss of their life.

I was about to ask why didn't anyone inform me but before I could say anything Chris and Benny joined us for breakfast.

"Good morning everyone," Benny said, holding some reports.

"Haven't you gone for your weekly check ups? Why today?" Blaize asked her. What? I thought he was busy with his work.

"Benny was feeling pain so I took her to the doctor immediately. '' Oh no, is she okay?

"So, what did the doctor say? " Dad asked.

"Her pregnancy is weak, so she needed to be very careful until she completed 7 months" Chris said while Benny smiled sadly. I understand how she is feeling.

"Can I see your report?" I asked her and she nodded, giving me the report.

True, her pregnancy is weak, she needed to be very careful. I looked at her feet and sighed.

"You shouldn't wear heels, it won't be good for your baby" I told her and she put off the heels.

"Didn't the doctor tell you about your eating schedule?" She shook her head and said. "She told me to eat healthy food only"

I nodded and took coffee from her hand "you know coffee will make your pregnancy more weak, so no coffee allowed to you and I'll make an eating schedule for you, so you would have to follow it." she smiled while looking at me.

"Thank you Angel, how do you know so much about pregnancy?"

"Of course I know, because I once was--" I cut off in the middle when I remembered Clara. It's been so many years since I saw or heard anything about her.

She was like an elder sister to me, I wonder how she is now? Does she hate me for running away like that? I know my time with her was perfect but that time reminded me of Ian.

The nightmare I can't move on. I took a deep breath to stop myself from thinking that. That's why I don't think about Clara too because she made me remember that time.

"Angel? You okay? You didn't complete. You were once?" I gulped looking at her then looked at Blaize.

He was full on glaring mode and I looked down. "Nothing, I was just… Nothing" I said and stuffed my mouth with food, so no one could ask more questions.

Blaize left the table angrily and barked at the poor maid for his office bag then left the house.

It was early for office, maybe he has work. I should also go or I'll be late.

"Thank you for breakfast, I should go too, I don't want to be late" I smiled at their blank faces and walked to the room again to take my bag.

My phone buzzed and I opened it to find Adrian's text.

But the conference is the day after tomorrow, why are they going today?

He then mailed me the details of the trip and meeting schedules too. Kyle and Declan weren't going because they are handling the 'Empire Estate' project here.

But Chris is going to join us because he's contributing into the 'Las Castle' project.

I decided to pack later as of now I want to see Sofia's grave.

I walked down again and asked dad if I could go? Because I have no office today.

He told me that Jordan would take me there. Jordan is their butler plus driver and any job he requires to do.

I went with a heavy heart to see Sofia's grave. Last time I saw her was at the airport when she left for the USA.

I never thought I would see her again like this. She was a very great mother and I can truly understand what Blaize had to go through after her sudden death.

But I promise you Sofia that I'll always take care of him, After mom, only you know how much I love him.

I wish you would help me to make my place in his heart once again.
