Chapter: Epilogue SIX YEARS LATER Sophie’s POV "Good morning, beauty." A deep, familiar voice broke through my peaceful sleep, and I felt a warm presence near me. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open, adjusting to the morning light streaming through the curtains. Julian stood beside the bed, a soft smile on his lips, holding a tray of breakfast in his hands. "Good morning, honey," I murmured, stretching lazily before sitting up. A wave of warmth filled me at the sight before me—a plate of golden-brown toast, a perfectly fried egg, and a steaming cup of tea. My stomach grumbled in approval, making me smile. Julian placed the tray gently on the bed and sat on the edge, watching me. "I made breakfast for you," I glanced at him, my heart swelling with love. "Thank you, honey." His smile widened, and without warning, he leaned in, tilting his head to kiss me. I quickly turned my face away, causing him to freeze mid-motion. "Huh?" He blinked. I chuckled, pressing my lips together. "I haven’t brushed my

Chapter: Fight for survival Chapter 118 Sophie’s POV It had been three hell long days since Julian fell into a coma. His face, once so vibrant and full of life, was now pale and drawn, the oxygen tubes were gone but there was still IV drips connected to his hand. His lips were slightly parted, and his chest rose and fell weakly beneath the hospital gown, but there was no other sign of movement. I sat beside him, my fingers laced through his, unable to look away from his still form. I tightened my grip on his hand, my voice barely above a whisper. "Julian, can you hear me?" No response. My throat tightened as I swallowed hard, forcing back another wave of despair. I wished for even the faintest sign of acknowledgement. I missed him—his laughter, his warmth, his voice, everything that made him who he was. "Do you remember when you first told me you loved me?" I continued, my voice trembling. "You said it so casually, as if you had always known. And I was so scared… scared that if I believed it, I’d los

Chapter: Don't leave me...Chapter 117 Sophie’s POV The ambulance doors slammed shut, and we sped through the city, sirens wailing. My hands trembled as I clutched Julian’s, his skin cold and clammy. His face was too pale, his lips slightly parted as he struggled for breath. "Stay with me, Julian," I pleaded, my voice shaking. "Please, don’t close your eyes." He tried to smile, but it was weak. His eyelids fluttered, his body barely holding on. "No, no, no," I sobbed, pressing my forehead against his. "You promised me. You said you wouldn’t leave me. You can’t break your promise now." The paramedics worked frantically, pressing gauze against his wound, checking his vitals. "He's losing too much blood," one of them muttered. "Do something!" I screamed. "We're doing everything we can," another paramedic said, trying to keep me calm. I swallowed back my panic and looked at Julian again. His chest rose and fell weakly, each breath looking more labored than the last. "I love you, Sophie," he whi

Chapter: PainChapter 116 Sophie’s POV The sound of the gunshot echoed in my ears, deafening. My body tensed, my breath hitched, and for a moment, I swore my heart had stopped. But there was no pain. I wasn’t hit! Slowly, I opened my eyes, my body trembling, my breath ragged. My heart pounded so loudly it nearly drowned out everything else. Celine—or rather, Victoria—was standing there, her face twisted in rage. But her grip on the gun had faltered, her hands shaking slightly. Then I noticed—someone had tackled her from the side. The gun had fired, but not at me. My breath came in short, uneven bursts as my eyes fell on the person who had tackled her. Julian. He was there, gripping Victoria’s wrist, twisting it painfully as she shrieked in frustration. The gun clattered to the floor, skidding across the rooftop. Victoria struggled wildly, her breath ragged with anger. "Let me go, you bastard!" she spat. "Not this time." Julian’s grip tightened as he shoved her backward, pinning her agains

Chapter: Bang!Chapter 115 Sophie’s POV "How do I look?" I asked, turning to Julian while smoothing down the fabric of my red off-shoulder gown. The silky material hugged my curves perfectly, flowing elegantly to my feet. Julian’s gaze softened as he stepped closer, his lips curving into a fond smile. "You look as stunning as always," he murmured, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. His touch was gentle, affectionate, and when he leaned down to press a kiss on my forehead, warmth spread through me. Then, he kissed me lightly on the lips, making my heart skip a beat. "Thank you, hubby," I whispered, "You made this happen. You made everything happen. If someone had told me a year ago when I got here that everything would turn out like this, I would have asked them to shut up." Julian chuckled, his fingers tilting my chin up so I could meet his gaze. "Why?" he asked. I sighed, shaking my head at how absurd it all seemed now. "Because I never thought I would fall in love with yo

Chapter: Chap 12Cassius’s POV "Get everything you can on the Luciano," I instructed Shadow as he stepped into my room. "Huh? Why?" he asked, his dark brows pulling together slightly. I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face. "Ion know. I just feel this weird thing that they might actually be holding a grudge and had caused the shootout," I admitted, my voice low. The thought itself was unsettling. The Luciano had been our ally for years, helping us countless times, especially after the settlement. I didn’t want to believe they could betray us like this, but Tyler had always been right about these things. And this time, I had a gut feeling he was right again. "But they’re our ally," Shadow reminded me. "I mean, they helped you countless times after the settlement." I nodded, acknowledging that fact. "I know. But still, keep an eye on them. Discreetly. We can’t make any assumptions yet, but we also can’t ignore the possibility. They might actually be the ones behind it. We really can't tell." Shadow

Chapter: Chap 11Cassius's POV I watched as Crystal walked out of the room. Her ass, fuck, so full and firm. I bet it would be fucking soft. How I wish she wasn't a mere cook, I would have smacked that bouncing ample ass. I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to bend her over and fuck her from behind. Dammit. I shouldn’t be thinking like this, I have to get myself a whore tonight to fuck, if not; I doubt I would resist the urge to fuck Crystal. That daring bitch. The knock on the door knocked me out of my reverie. The door opened, revealing Shadow. He bowed slightly and walked towards me. "Any information? Were you able to find out who initiated the trafficking?" I asked. "No, sir. But we found a spy who seemed to be the culprit that killed the dead men." he explained "A spy?" I raised an eyebrow. "Yes, sir. He is among your bodyguards, we sighted him receiving a secret call with a burner phone, but he isn't saying anything yet." Shadow replied. "Where is he now?" I as

Chapter: Chap 10Zara's POV "What do you think you are doing?" I heard the bastard's voice, and I opened my eyes to see him smirking down at me. He shoved his phone in my face, making me know it was his phone he had picked beside me. Dammit. Here I was, having done the most stupid thing of closing my eyes. Heck, I had been anticipating a kiss. Hell me. I pushed him away from me and bolted out of the room. I was fucking embarrassed at myself. What the hell had I just done? No, I wasn't expecting a kiss, it was all part of the plan of seducing him. Yeah, that's it. I was tryna seducing him. I rushed into my room, locking the door behind me as if he were chasing me, my heart beating so fast. Get a hold of yourself, Zara. I moved to where I had hidden my secret phone, tucked beneath my bed and picked it up. Xander had called. I dialed his number and his fatherly voice came through from the other end. "How are you doing, Kid?" he asked. "Hmm...at least I'm alive and still breathing." I replied

Chapter: Chap 9Delia's POV How dare Cassius send me away because of that bitch. For just a mere cook? A mere cook who he had just employed. And the bitch had been revealing her round boobs, is she trying to seduce Cassius? Is she trying to make him fall for her? Which would never happen, Cassius is never committed. Well...I can't blame her, Cassius is every woman's spec. But still...I can't allow her plan to succeed. Her plan must flop, I have to make her stay away from my Cassius. He is mine to fuck, and mine alone. "You sent for me, ma?" Drake, my assistant, said as he entered the room."Did Cassius send a message to me to come over?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. It would look absurd that I just got back home from his place and I'm already looking forward to his message, but that's how much I want Cassius for myself. "No, ma." Drake replied. "Any message at all?" I pressed. "No, ma.""Dammit!" I cursed as I picked up the vase on the table and swerved it forward, shattering it into pi

Chapter: Chap 8Zara's POV Dammit. My body still aches from Cassius's touch; he sure knows how to touch a woman. Fuck me, I'm not supposed to be feeling this way, but who wouldn't when a guy touches them this way. His hands burn my body with pleasure. Fuck the person that called that put an end to the pleasure. But what type of a person punishes someone this way if not that bastard! And about the document he said, I didn't even bother opening it, I had just tossed it to God knows where. I'll do what I want and not what someone tells me to do, but now, I'm facing the aftermath. I tried wriggling my hand off the handcuff the bastard had pinned me with, but it was futile, there was no use struggling. Dammit. Is this how I'm going to be till the bastard comes back? Ahh! I looked around the room and it was really empty except for this bed, a chair and a table at the far end of the room. Some papers were lying on the table; I wonder what they are. Since this is a private room, the papers must co

Chapter: Chap 7Cassius's POV Delia shot me a glare that could pierce through steel as if she couldn't believe her ears. "I should leave?" she asked. I pulled up my trousers and zipped it up, my mood having turned sour already. "You heard me, leave." I said as I adjusted my trousers, trying to regain my composure. "Cassius..." her voice trailed off as she picked up her dress on the floor, put it on, and headed towards the door. She whispered something to Crystal, whose gaze was on the floor, and Crystal's eyes widened as she watched Delia walk away. "Did I not tell you not to enter my room without permission?" I asked, my voice firm as I stood up from the bed and strolled towards her. Goddammit. Her breasts were tantalizingly visible, and I could see the outline of her nipple, making my mouth water. I wondered what it would taste like; chocolate, vanilla, or something entirely unique. I'm not supposed to be thinking this way;she is my cook. My cook. "You never told me that." Crystal said
