Sophia's POV.

The air around me grew thick with tension. My breath hitched, chills creeping down my spine with each passing second.

He tilted his head, his lips still inching closer to mine.

"Sophia..." The way he said my name sent twists of nerves to my stomach. "I have no time to waste."

His words snapped me out of the trance I'd fallen into, and I pushed his hand off my chin.

"I guess you aren't ready to do anything, afterall," He said, his voice hoarse and laced with irritation.

"No!" I blurted. "I mean that I'm..."

I trailed off, thinking about his request. He just wanted me to show him affection, right? I doubted someone as heartless as him could ever fall in love. This was just about seducing a man who was romantically deprived, nothing more. I'd seen plenty of romantic movies and imagined countless passionate scene, I also had some experience too. I could use that to pull this off.

Though I'd never seduced anyone before, I could perfect the task if it meant saving my father.

"I agree," I said, my eyes meeting with his intimidating gaze. "I'll seduce you and make you fall in love."

His lips curved into a hollow and devilish smirk.

"Perfect. The deal starts now," He said, his tone serious sending another chill down my spine. "Just know that if you fail to seduce me within that 60 days, It is over for your father."

A hard lump formed in my throat as his words echoed deep in my mind.

"During these 60 days, you'll be staying with me. You're free to do whatever you like, except for escaping or seek help from the authorities. If you try either, I'll slit..."

He paused, his fingers grazing my throat. My breath froze, and my eyes dilated at his touch.

"...this little throat of yours," He finished, his smirk growing darker.

I quickly looked away, fear overwhelming me.

"I won't fail," I let out a sharp breath. "I will seduce you before the 60 days are up. Don't underestimate me..."

Deep down, I was terrified of the man beside me. But I'd to put my fear aside, make him eat his words, and keep my father safe.

"You're pretty confident," He scoffed. "But overconfident people are usually the first to fail."

"Drive faster!" He barked at the driver.

"I need to pack my things since I'm staying with you," I said.

"No. Whatever you need will be provided for you at the mansion," He replied, not sparing me a glance.

I lowered my gaze in disappointment because I hoped to take a few things that held memories of my father.

"But—"

"Another thing I hate is objections. Don't make that mistake again, if you don't want my wrath, "He sneered, his darkened gaze shifting to me.

"I didn't want to question you..." I lied. "I just wanted to know your name."

"I need to know the name of the man I'm going to seduce, right?"

His eyes peered at me for a moment before he replied,

"My name is Alessandro."

"Alessandro," I repeated, his name rolling smoothly out of my mouth.

It was a beautiful name, but he didn't deserve it. This man was nothing but a monster. I just hoped—

My thoughts broke off as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lighting one up.

He smoked, too? What else would I expect from an unscrupulous monster like him? But I couldn't help but wonder what more he was capable of...especially to me.

As the car drove into the compound, the tinted windows rolled down. A bit of light hit my face and I squinted.

My mouth fell open as I beheld the dragon sculpture in the middle of a fountain. The gardens were filled with neatly trimmed grasses but had many dead flowers. It looked like the flowers had never been properly planted, more like they were used for aesthetics.

But rather than beauty, they gave an eerie sense of death. As I stuck my head out of the window, a dumbfounded gasp left my lips.

I had never seen such a gigantic mansion before. The black paint gave it a dark elegance. It perfectly matched its owner.

"Come out!" I heard Alessandro's growl.

I didn't even realize the car had stopped.

"Sorry," I mumbled, shakily stepping out of the car.

Alessandro began walking toward the mansion, and I followed. As we got inside, I was taken aback.

I had always loved art, but the decor of the sitting room was...unsettling. The furniture was predominantly red and luxurious. The staircase matched, the red-carpeted steps, and the chandelier and center table seemed to amplify this ominous color scheme.

I could only imagine how scary this place would be at night. The paintings on the walls had drawings of hearts, monsters, and hawks. It was overwhelming.

"Welcome sir," a feminine voice said, pulling my attention to a maid who stood with her head bowed.

An idea suddenly sprang into my mind. I didn't know if I could seduce Alessandro alone, with how scared I was of him. But I had to do everything I could for my father.

Sophia, time to put those amateur seduction skills to the test.

"Take this young lady the room next to mine, and ensure she doesn't do anything stupid," He said coldly to the maid.

"Yes sir."

As he was about to leave me, I suddenly jumped onto his huge body. He stumbled back, landing on the sofa as I fell across his chest.

I inhaled deeply, and lifted myself from him. He didn't say a word, only stared at me with something like curiosity in his eyes.

I knew it wouldn't be that hard to get him to fall for me.

"Excuse me sir," The maid said, leaving the sitting room.

With a deep breathe, I began roaming my hands all over his muscular and firm body. Though i was literally shaking, I had to be bold for my father, and besides, I had picked up some skills while dating my ex. That bastard.

Moving my hands to his trousers, I unbuckled his belt. He didn't do anything but kept watching me.

A smirk appeared on his lips as my fingers slipped the zip of trousers down. I thought I was finally making progress until he seized my wrists, flipping me onto the sofa beneath him.

I gasped as he pinned my hands above my head, his hand clasping my neck.

"You won't get me so easily..." He smirked.

  • 60 Days To Seduce The Mafia King    0131.

    Alexandro’s POV. I didn’t hesitate the moment Laura told me it was Ray. Sophia had been missing for over twenty-four hours, and every second that passed felt like a knife to my throat. I barely heard myself as I barked orders, my voice colder than the steel of my gun. “We’re moving now.” The police, already prepped as backup, moved with us. Time was slipping through my fingers like sand, and I was starting to lose it. Hours had passed since Sophia’s disappearance, and every lead we chased led to a dead end. We had searched every possible location—his old warehouses, his usual spots, even places that felt like a stretch. Nothing. The frustration in the room was suffocating. I could see it on everyone’s faces—the officers shifting on their feet, checking their phones as if the answers would magically appear, Laura, biting her nails, her eyes darting between me and the door. “She’s been missing too long,” Laura whispered, her voice trembling. “If we don’t find h

    Alessandro's POV. I located Laura and headed straight to her. She was staying in a hotel not far away from my house, which made it easier for me to reach her. Upon reaching the hotel, I met with a receptionist who was reluctant to give me Laura's room number since I didn't have an appointment. I urged her to call Laura, which she eventually did. Fortunately, Laura agreed to let me see her and without hesitation, I headed straight to her room. As I entered, she was sitting on the bed with a smirk on her lips. I let out a low growl and marched up to her. I grabbed her arms and lifted her off the bed, making her frightened. "Where is she?"I demanded, my voice filled with rage. "Where is who?"She looked at me in confusion. I tightened my grip around her arms and yelled, "Where is Sophia? She has been missing since the day I went for a shipment! I have looked everywhere for her, but she is nowhere to be found. I don't know why I think you have something to do with that!

    Alessandro's POV. My mind was a whirlwind of different emotions. I could not think. I was scared. I needed to know where Sophia was and Mary was not giving me a reasonable answer. I went to my study and began to think of who could have kidnapped her. I called Mary in again to question her. "Mary, think, who do you think would have taken Sophia?" I asked her. Mary shivered in fear. I knew she thought I would be angry with her, though I was, but I didn't want to take it out on her. I knew how stubborn Sophia could be, so I was sure that it was Sophia that put her up to it. So, Mary related everything that happened again. How she and Sophia split up so that Sophia could stop me. But then, she waited for her for close to an hour, but she didn't find her. It was when she heard a gunshot that she became scared and she ran back home. I believed that it was during the time I was shot that Mary ran back home. But what about Sophia? I could not eat, I could no

    Alessandro's POV. The moment the words left my mouth, everyone was shocked. My men were surprised and I could see Jared pleading with me silently with his eyes, but I shook my head. This was for the best. There was no need living such a dangerous life and besides, we were already outnumbered. If we wanted to remain alive, this was the only way. "Wow!" Angelo exclaimed. He was actually not expecting me to agree to his request so he was shocked. "So this is all there is to the great Alessandro?" He started mocking me immediately he got his composure back. "I do not have the time for this Angelo, I have already agreed to your request so let me and my men go!" I gritted my teeth in anger as I spoke but Angelo did not acknowledge what I said. He only waved his hands in the air as if to wipe away my words. "You know, for someone clearly under my mercy, you have quite the guts," He teased. "But then, I'm not surprised, you are still trying to show that you are not weak w

    Alessandro's POV. I continued looking around as I walked cautiously with Jared beside me. Something felt off about the whole thing but since I was already here, it was pointless to turn back. We got to the dock where the people were already offloading the shipment. It was hard drugs that Angelo was supposed to get but I decided to take it from Angelo just to prove who the mafia king is. "Are these everything?" I demanded in a rough voice. "Yes sir, they are all here," The loader trembled as he spoke. I could not blame him, many people who have heard of me or come across me all know who I was so he had every right to be afraid. "Alright! You may go!" I said to the loader He bowed his head and quickly turned the boat back. "Check it," I instructed Jared. I knew the loader would not dare try to decieve me which was why I did not bother checking it in his presence. Jared went on my knees and opened the shipment, he counted and saw that they were complete. "It's

    Sophia's POV. My eyes widened in shock as I could hardly believe what Ray was saying. Priest? Marry? What the hell was going on? What was this sick bastard thinking? I started struggling to speak. He saw that I wanted to talk. "You want to say something?" He asked. Since my mouth was taped, I could only nod. "Then promise me that if I remove the tape that you will not shout," He said and I nodded again. "Alright," He looked at me suspiciously and the removed the tape from my mouth. I exhaled deeply and began to breathe fast. "So what is it you wanted to tell me?" He inquired. "I need us to talk Ray," I told him. "Talk about what?" Ray asked. "This whole marriage thing, you can't force me to marry you," I said. "Why? Force? No, have you forgotten that you already promised your father that you will give me a chance? And besides, we were already engaged before the whole Alessandro issue came up," He replied. I blinked at him surprised that he seem to have f
