Sophia's POV. My cheeks grew hot at his question. How could he ask something like that?"Answer me," He growled, taking his thumb down my throat.I swallowed hard, my body still shuddering from the intense orgasm. I had never experienced anything like it, and yet, with his presence, I could feel my body heating up again.Why was he doing this, especially after almost killing me earlier? He seemed so irritated at the sight of me this morning. "I...don't know," I stuttered, my lips quivering. "I have...never..." "You've never sucked a man's cock before?" He smirked, clearly amused. "So, mine will be your first.""Yes..."I stammered. "And it'll be your last," He said coldly, his words sending chills down my spine. I couldn't understand him. One moment, he was drawing me into this intense pleasure and the next, he was threatening me. Why was he so confusing?He unzipped his trousers, letting them slide down to his thighs. My eyes widened as I saw his hardness through his boxers. It l
Sophia's POV."Yes, my name is Micheal, and like an angel, I'm here to save you," He uttered, his voice lacing with mischief.My eyebrows furrowed in suspicion."Micheal..." I muttered, finding the name a bit familiar. But I couldn't recall where I had heard it. "I don't know anyone named Micheal. I think you've got the wrong number," I said nervously and tried to hang up."Sophia," His voice boomed through the phone's speaker. "I know you're suspicious and nervous that someone is suddenly offering help. But I genuinely have a way to save you from the hell you're experiencing.""I know what Alessandro is putting you through. That man is a monster," He said, spite dripping from his voice."How do you know Alessandro?" I questioned, refusing to let my guard down."I am a victim of his evil. I know the horrible things he's capable of," The man replied, his voice shaking with anger. "What...did he do to you?" I stammered."He...he killed the love of my life," He revealed, sending shiver
Sophia's POV.A chill ran through my spine at the sound of his voice. When did he get into my room? Why was he even here?"I asked a question," His cold voice resounded, his approaching footsteps now audible.I removed the phone from my ear, quickly swiping the number and deleting it. My fingers fumbled slightly, but I managed to get rid of it in time. I hoped he hadn't seen or heard anything. I turned to him, and his tall, muscular body towered over me. His piercing gaze made my throat tighten. He was so close that I could feel my heart hammering in my chest and sweat forming on my skin. "I...was talking to...a friend," I lied, my voice shaking and unconvincing. "A friend?" Alessandro scoffed, his voice filled with doubt. "Whose phone is that?" I glanced down at the phone in my hand, and stuttered, "It's one of the maid's. But I'm not going to tell you who lent it to me." "What friend were you talking to? And what were you talking about?" His sharp tone made my stomach churn. I
Alessandro's POV.As I left Sophia's room, I paused outside her door, staring.I was certain I'd heard her say Micheal's name. And the only Micheal I knew was that fool who's been a thorn in my side for years. Her excuse about calling a friend was nothing more than a weak cover.Why else would she and Micheal be in contact unless they were plotting against me? Was it revenge for everything I had done to her? Or had he convinced her to help him take me down? A bitter thought suddenly crossed my mind. Had everything that happened at the mall been an elaborate act?With a sharp sigh, I pushed my thoughts aside and headed for the mansion through the back door. My mind raced with questions as I walked. Was she planning to betray me again? How far was Micheal willing to go to see me fall?As I stepped into the house, I spotted Mary stepping out of the elevator."Alessandro, where have you been?" She questioned, her voice tinged with concern. "I just came from your office."We must hav
Alessandro's POV.My fists clenched at her response. I shouldn't be surprised, but I thought that her innocent face wasn't just a front—that she was truly honest."Damn her. I'm going to kill her," I sneered, my hand reaching the door."Yes, I want to poison him," her voice echoed suddenly, shaky. "But I can't. I won't." Her words made me pause, my grip tightening on the door as I listened. "He's been awful to me, to a lot of people. I understand that he deserves to die, but I can't make that decision.""Why? Your little conscience can't withstand the death of that monster?" Micheal retorted, his voice sharp. "Yes!" She snapped, her voice trembling. "I can't bear taking a life. What would make me different from him?""Sophia," Micheal began, his tone almost pitying. "I was once like you. I was scared of challenging him, but when he ended the life of my lover, I lost every bit of—""Micheal, stop..." She interrupted softly, silencing him. "I'm sorry about what happened to your love
Sophia's POV."What problem?" I stuttered, my voice shaking."It's your father," Alessandro said curtly, brushing past me."What happened to him?" I asked, panic creeping into my tone as I hurried after him.He didn't answer, instead he walked through the gate with long strides, leaving me struggling to keep up. Before I could catch up, I heard several gunshots echoing in the air. my breath fastened and I froze. "Oh my God..." I whispered, shivering. "What is he doing?"My mind raced with fear, but I forced myself to move. If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it already. No, he enjoyed watching me suffer, reveling in misery."Come out of there!" I heard his commanding voice, snapping me out of my thoughts. I hesitated, but eventually stepped out cautiously only for me to see some men shot dead on the floor. Terrified, I looked up and saw Alessandro already walking away. I meticulously followed, keeping a distance.By the time I reached his car, he was already inside I hesit
Sophia's POV. For the past few days, I had hardly seen Alessandro, and even when I did, he wouldn't spare me a glance. He was unapproachable, just like he had promised to be. That man was making things difficult as possible. "Jerk!" I muttered, pouting as I lay on my bed. "Sometimes I just feel like strangling him, he's so annoying." Grabbing a pillow, I covered my face and let out a frustrated scream into it, "Argh!!!" "Can I come in?" a soft voice came from the other side of the door. I removed the pillow from my face and exhaled deeply, "Yes." The door creaked open, and Mary walked in with her usual calm demeanor. I immediately sat up, my curiosity piqued. "Did you get it?" I asked, unable to hide the anticipation in my voice. "No," She replied, sounding disappointed. "Oh..." I sighed, trying to console myself. "But it's okay—" Mary suddenly pulled out a card, and before I could stop myself, I let out a loud scream of excitement. "Shhh," She hushed me quickl
Sophia's POV.A shiver ran through my spine at his words. I felt so afraid. I didn't want him to have his way with me. This wasn't how I wanted things to turn out."Let me go!" I tried to struggle, but his grip around my arms tightened."No way!" He sneered, slamming his lips abruptly onto mine. I pursed my lips shut, unwilling to let him in.He suddenly clenched my chin, "Open your fucking mouth, bitch!" He growled, his hot breath against my face. He pressed his lips against mine again, but I refused to open up. I didn't want to sleep with him."Damn it," He snarled, pulling away. "Why are you so damn stubborn?!" He suddenly raised his hand to slap me, but a bang came on the door.His hand hung in the air, and he glanced back. I darted my gaze at the door as well."Fuck this!" I heard a familiar growl, and then the door burst open.Alessandro stormed in, and I released a sigh of relief."Get away from her," He commanded, rushing over and pulling Josh away from me."You have no right
Author's POV. Laura was in one of the guest rooms, laying on the bed while scrolling through her phone. After her conversation with Alessandro, she nonchalantly began watching internet videos. She wasn't bothered about anything because Alessandro would never hurt her. He had always had this soft spot for her, and she was going to take full advantage of it. As she kept watching the videos, the door to the guest room suddenly opened. She looked away from her phone and saw Mary. "Oh God, what is this old hag doing here again?"Laura muttered, rolling her eyes. "What did you just call me?" Mary demanded, looking extremely offended. "I called you an old hag and I'm sure you heard me properly. You all should stop making me repeat myself constantly. It's getting annoying, $She snapped, glaring at Mary. Mary clenched her fists and walked angrily to her. She clambered on the bed and grabbed Laura's hair. Without hesitation, Laura dropped her phone aside and grabbed Mary's hair as well.
Author's POV. Alessandro stood in a warehouse with one of his men tied to a chair, bleeding from almost every part of his body. Alessandro was visibly angry, pointing a knife at him. "If you do not want me to end you, you will tell me the truth. I'm trying to settle things and remove every parasite in my business before I move on. You know a lot of things that is going to help me in doing that, so you better start talking!" Alessandro growled. "I don't know," He cried. "I am innocent. I have told you the truth boss. I don't know anything about the secret gang." Alessandro gritted his teeth in anger. He had been with Frank for the past two hours, and Frank had been so adamant to speak up. Despite how much he had threatened Frank with his family, he had refused to say the truth. "Frank, I'm not going to repeat myself. What do you know about the secret group that has been trafficking women, embezzling my money, and selling my drugs without permission?" Alessandro sneered."Sir, I'm
Author's POV. After blocking him, she switched off her phone and kept it in the pocket of her jean trouser. She stepped out of the elevator and dragged her suitcase to the sitting room.Laura was still there, leaning against the couch as if waiting for her. They exchanged a few glares before Sophia headed to the door without a word. Suddenly Laura called her name, causing her steps to come to a halt. Sophia turned to her with an irritated expression. "What do you want from me? I'm leaving. Isn't this what you want?" Sophia spat angrily. "Yes, you are doing exactly what I want," Laura grinned, happy that Sophia was so easy to fool."I want that pendant on your neck," Laura demanded, extending her hand. "Pendant?" Sophia gasped, reaching for the pendant on her neck. She was angry at Alessandro but couldn't give this to someone else."What do you want it for?" Sophia demanded. "I want it because I'm sure Alessandro gave it to you, and you do not deserve anything from him. I'm his
Author's POV. Sophia felt astounded and confused. Why was Alessandro's friend calling herself his fiancée? It made absolutely no sense. "What do you mean by that? Alessandro only mentioned you as his childhood friend and that you'll help him in starting up a company. He never mentioned that there was anything other than a cordial relationship between both of you," Sophia said, trying to stay calm. "Who the fuck are you anyways to question whether we have a cordial or romantic relationship? Are you a whore who doesn't know her place?" Laura questioned, staring disgustingly at Sophia. Sophia was deeply insulted by her words. How could Alessandro keep her identity from Laura? "Who are you? If you can't answer my question then I want you out of this mansion!" Laura yelled, pulling her back to reality. "I'm his girlfriend!" Sophia snapped back. "Girlfriend? Are you delusional or what?" Laura spat, her gaze boring at Sophia. She scrutinized her intently and noticed the pendant on he
Sophia's POV. I continued twirling my tongue around his cock, making him release more moans. "Go faster!" Alessandro commanded, pulling my hair harder.I went faster, sucking him more relentlessly. My tongue twirled around it as my life depended on it, and my hands moved more rapidly around his thickness, caressing it."Yes, good...so good!!!" He laughed.His cock began swelling in my mouth as he was getting to his edge. I whimpered as my tongue swirled more mercilessly around his shaft.He released a primal moan and came straight into my mouth. I thought of spitting out his cum once it entered, but it tasted a bit better than I thought. I slowly pulled his cock from my mouth and gulped it.Some of his cum splashed on my face, and I wiped every bit of it and put the droplets in my mouth."Does it taste that good?" Alessandro asked, his voice deeper than the sea."It tastes better than I anticipated," I grinned, moving up to him and bringing my lips closer to his."Do you want a tast
Sophia's POV.Despite how Alessandro reacted to my suggestion, I still felt that he was hurt and was simply pretending, so I wouldn't get her. Although I was in his arms, enjoying his warmth, I could feel his troubled breaths.I shouldn't have let my emotions influence my reasoning. I had just let my father achieve his aim. I knew something broke in Alessandro tonight, and it was my fault.Why did I have to ruin the great time we had with my father's influence? Why couldn't I just—"Birdie, you should sleep already," He whispered, wrapping his arms a bit tighter around me. "I told you that I'm not upset with you."I didn't want him to get more worried so I just kept silent and pretended to be asleep. I felt him slowly pull himself from me, making my head slip onto the pillow. I could sense that he was looking down at me but I didn't move an inch. "She's asleep, that's great," He whispered, covering me up with the duvet. He sighed loudly and slipped out of the bed, leaving me there.
Author's POV. "What?" Alessandro gasped, looking baffled. He didn't understand why she was making such a request. He knew she wasn't in approval of his mode of making money, but he never expected her to just make such a demand. "Sophia, I don't understand," He shook his head. Sophia couldn't hold back anymore, "I just want to have a normal life. A life where we can walk through the park without guards hovering or tailing us every time. I want people to know that you are mine.I'm tired of always looking over my shoulder, wondering whether someone is going to kill me or you. I want us to live in a world without issues,""That world doesn't exist, birdie," he countered, his voice firm yet gentle."Yes, it does," Sophia asserted, more tears slipping down her cheeks.She moved close to him and cupped his face in her hands."People around the world are living without so much apprehension. I know that this seems very sudden, but I can't keep living this way," She confessed, her heart sin
Sophia's POV."What?" I gasped, utterly defeated.What was happening to my father? Had he just lost his sense of reasoning or was this a toxic trait I hadn't noticed in the past?How could he ask me to pick between him and Alessandro? Why couldn't I just have both of them in my life? Why was he so insistent on ruining our relationship."Father..." my voice cracked. "This is totally absurd and I won't stand for it. I'm going to my old room right now, and I don't want to disturbed. I'll stay there until this is healed."As I turned my back on him, he barked, "You have to make a choice Sophia. You're my princess, my art queen, not some sex toy he could play with!"I slowly turned to him, clearly fed up with his tantrums."I'm not Alessandro's sex toy. I'm the woman he loves, his girlfriend," I asserted. "In the past if you had made this demand, I would have chosen you. But after this..."I trailed off, touching my face."I don't think so!" I spat, glaring at him. "You aren't even remorse
Sophia's POV.I stood there staring at my father in utter disbelief. I was wondering if this was a nightmare or something else. The father I loved would never lay his hands on me. I was so shocked that he just slapped me without showing any remorse. He was acting like it was his right to hurt me because I was in love with someone who supposedly ruined our lives. But he should know that Alessandro did not ruin our lives. We were the ones that got involved indirectly with him. Ryan was the one who damaged everything. If he hadn't deceived me, then Father wouldn't have helped me by taking that loan. We would have been happy and free by now. Alessandro did not cause this. He was just doing what anyone who was being owed would do. It was business. I wished my father could understand this but right now, I couldn't stand the sight of him."I don't know what that bastard has done to you. Maybe he has given you one of his drugs that has unfortunately damaged your brain," Father accused, h
