Sophia's POV.

It was already 1 p.m., and I was walking around the garden, enjoying the view. Although, the garden wasn't like the usual ones around others homes, I still admired the aesthetics it provided.

“I'm sure if I drew a story around this and exhibited it, it would inspire people…” I whispered, smiling gently. “Even people with dark hearts like Alessandro.”

“Time is running out, and it doesn't seem like he's falling in love…” I muttered with a sigh. “But at least he smiled…that's some progress.”

A smile crept onto my lips as his rare smile replayed in my mind.

I glanced around the garden again and then lifted my gaze to the sun. After a moment of admiring its bright beauty, I looked away.

“Want to help me with some cooking?” Mary's vibrant voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to her.

“Of course,” I giggled, walking toward her. “In the past, I would have preferred nature over cooking, but my perspective on things has changed a bit.”

“I can see that,” Mary said, laugh

    Sophia's POV. “W-What?” I stammered, gasping, escaping my lips. “Why are you acting so surprised?” Alessandro said, his voice filled with mockery. “You're doing all those things women do when they fall in love. You smile like you can't help it, cook without being asked, and hug, and kiss unexpectedly. You giggle too much, stare deeply like I'm some kind of dream.” “Enough!” I snapped, shoving his hand off my chin. “I'm not in love with you.” A taunting smirk appeared across his lips, “Oh really? Because you're ticking every box.” I was taken aback by his insinuations. “Don't flatter yourself,” I spat, glaring at him. “I was simply happy about the art supplies, that's it. Don't turn this into something it's not.” “You're the one to fall in love, not me,” I added, my voice sharp. “Hmm…”He hummed, his tone sounding unconvinced, “If you say so,” “What's that supposed to mean?” I raised my voice. “It's fine, Little Sophia,” He said with an infuriating smirk. “I get it.

    Sophia's POV. With a sigh, I put down the sketchbook and lifted my gaze to the ceiling, wondering what was becoming of me. When did I become so controllable, so unable to resist that toxic temptation—Alessandro? I picked up the sketch again and scoffed. “I always complete what I start…”I whispered, turning back to draw him properly. As I added each detail, I couldn't help but swallow hard. This man was so fucking hot...so attractive. “Fuck! I'm done with this!” I snapped, slamming the sketchbook shut. I set it aside, along with my pencil. Closing my eyes, I tried to sleep, but Alessandro's words echoed in my mind, “Are you falling for this monster?”“Never," I murmured to myself. Not after what Ryan did to me. I'll never fall in love again…”__The next morning, I went into the bathroom, eager to freshen up and explore the surroundings again. I had so many ideas to sketch. As the water ran down my skin in the shower, I hummed softly as usual. It was a song by one of my favorit

    Alessandro's POV."Alessandro?" I called out, my voice laced with panic. "Alessandro!" I yelled louder.I heard his dark chuckle against my neck, and I sighed in relief. For a moment, I thought he had been shot or something worse. "What is wrong with you?" I spat, summoning my strength to push him off me.Lifting himself slightly, he curled his lips into a smirk."Were you worried about me?" He said in his usual taunting tone."This is not funny," I hissed, shooting daggers at him with my eyes. "Didn't you hear those gunshots? Why are you acting so calm? Shouldn't you go check what's happening?""Why should I do that?" He scoffed, pulling down his pants without a care.My eyes widened in disbelief as his boxers followed."Are you crazy?" I snapped. "Is this seriously the time for sex? What is wrong with you?"Instead of addressing my concern, he laughed, his tone mocking. "I didn't hire guards for nothing," He said nonchalantly. "Although they can be incompetent at times. They'll h

    Alessandro's POV.As I finished reading the note I gritted my teeth in displeasure. I had received a few threats before, but this was more daring. They came directly to my home to attack me, tracking some of my men and leaving parts of their organs in this stupid box along with the blood-dipped note and crown. It was audacious.This was a bold threat, a declaration of war. I would inform my private investigator to find out who was after me. He was more efficient, discreet, and a bit trustworthy compared to the men who sold my drugs. "Boss, do you want us to find—" "No," I replied sharply, shaking my head. "You've done your job, which is guarding this house. Just stick to that." "Okay sir," They chorused. "Is that real or fake blood?" I suddenly heard Sophia's trembling voice. She always had a way of making it obvious that she was frightened. I couldn't help but find her trembling alluring. "It's real," I looked at her, snickering. She stepped back, her eyes wide in shock at my

    Sophia's POV. I had watched up to two movies now, and Alessandro was yet to return.I glanced at the clock, and a tinge of worry loomed in my heart. There had been an attack earlier today, and anything could happen to him on his way out.I couldn't help but wonder why he would choose to go out despite everything that happened. He should have stayed indoors."Why is he so careless?" I whispered, grabbing the remote and turning off the television. "Does he think he's immortal and can walk into danger? He's so unbelievable at times!"Suddenly, I realized I was being worried about him. When did I start caring for Alessandro? Why should it affect me if he was in danger? Wouldn't my father and I be free if he was out of the way?So, why did I feel bothered about him?"Fuck, what's wrong with me?" I asked myself, running my fingers through my hair. "I should just go to bed."I stood up and attempted to leave, but then I hesitated."Maybe, I should just wait a little longer..." I muttered, m

    Author's POV."You aren't working hard enough!" Alessandro thundered, his voice echoing in the warehouse.He hadn't visited this particular warehouse for a long while and decided to surprise them. When he arrived, he found them lazing around. They were so shocked that they immediately started working as if their lives depended on it. Well, it did. "You are not working hard enough!" Alessandro growled again, walking around. "If I don't see you putting in enough effort, a bullet will go in your heads. I can't believe you were sitting down and making me lose money!""We're so sorry, boss," They chorused, fidgeting nervously."You'll be the sorry ones if you don't do better!" He snarled. "I put a supervisor over all of you, but you ignored his commands and decided to do what you wanted. Just know that half of your salaries are gone!"His words sparked chatter and whining among the workers, but Alessandro didn't care. He despised incompetence and had to make sure it didn't happen again."

    Author's POV."Argh," Alessandro groaned, pushing off pieces of debris from his body. His eyes snapped open as he staggered to his feet. The bomb around the corners of the warehouse had caused massive destruction. As he glanced around, his workers were whimpering in pain. Some were even dead. Alessandro glanced at his bruised elbow and wiped the blood trickling from it. He dusted his face and other parts of his body. "It hurts!" He heard a scream. He slid his gaze in the direction of the voice and saw a worker trapped under the fallen wall. "Help me!" Alessandro pulled his gaze away from the person and glanced around again. His drugs were ruined, parts of the building had collapsed, and his workers were injured or dead. This was a huge loss. "Who did this?" Alessandro growled, anger burning through him. "This person has bitten more than they can chew. I'll make him pay for this." "Boss, are you alright?" the supervisor, Jared, walked up to him. "I'm fine," Alessandro respon

    Sophia's POV. Days passed and Alessandro's condition had improved significantly. I was so happy that he was getting better.I was in the kitchen now, making a delicious meal for him. He had been dreading Sarah's drugged soups. He had tried to dissuade her from adding the medications to the soup, but she refused, saying it was the best way for him to take that kind of medicine.But yesterday, the medications ran out and he could finally eat normal food again."I could smell the sumptuous meal from far away," Alessandro's voice came as he stepped into the kitchen. "Well, I'm not making your favorite, but I promise it's going to be delicious," I replied, smiling widely. "Don't worry about your allergies, I avoided those spices." "Thank you," Alessandro said softly, slowly walking to me. It wasn't just his physique that had improved, but his attitude too. He wasn't cold or mean anymore. He wasn't grabbing me without my permission or acting so uncontrollably. I liked this side of him,

    Sophia's POV. He nibbled on my lips, slowly deepening the kiss. He sucked my bottom lip softly, and then bit it gently. I gasped slightly, and he seized the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.His tongue slowly explored every inch of my mouth. I moaned softly, as his tongue danced around my tongue, deepening the kiss.It wasn't as rough or aggressive as before. This kiss was tender, and so sweet. I loved every second of it, moaning with each movement his tongue made.I never knew he could kiss this gently. It was so pleasurable, and sweet.The way his fingers traced lines across my nape sent electrifying currents through me.I kissed him back, making our tongues tangle around each other. I savored his sweetness as it spread across my mouth."Mmm," I moaned between our lips.He parted the kiss, leaving me breathless. He took his hand to my lips, swiping his finger over my bottom lip."Thank you," he whispered, his lips curling into a smile.A gasp escaped my lips at the sigh

    Sophia's POV. "What is happening?" I trembled, panic filling my voice. "Alessandro." I watched him convulse, shaking uncontrollably. An alarming sound blared, and before I could call for help, the doctor and Sarah rushed into the room. "Leave," Sarah thundered. The damp cloth in my hand slipped to the floor, and I dashed out of the room. As I got outside, I burst into tears, every part of me trembling. "What have I done?" I cried loudly. "What was I thinking when I kissed him?" I recalled how his heartbeat was dropping so fast, and great fear gripped my heart. What if something happened to him? I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. "Alessandro, please don't die," I cried, my shoulders trembling. "O God, let nothing happen to him." I began pacing back and forth in the hallway, guilt clawing at my heart. Fresh tears flooded my cheeks as I imagined the worst. I shouldn't have done more than just cleaning him. I couldn't resist touching him. I missed hearing his voice

    Sophia's POV. "What?" I gasped in shock. "Did you just say a few days?" I asked wondering if I heard wrong."His situation is critical, and unfortunately, he wasn't given the right medical care he needed," the doctor reported."This isn't good. We can't lose Alessandro," Mary muttered, panic evident in her voice."What can be done to save him?" I asked, tears slipping down my cheeks. "Alessandro is important to the people here. If he dies, we'll all be vulnerable to attack.""I have done my best," the doctor said with a resigned tone. "There's nothing more I can do. We just have to be optimistic and wait to see how things turn out. If he recovers, then, great. But if his health deteriorates, then—" "Don't say it," Mary interrupted sharply, shaking her head. "Please..." She staggered slightly, but I was able to steady her. "Mary, are you okay?" I inquired, helping her into a chair. "Mary, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked, checking her vitals. "Does your head hurt?""This is

    Sophia's POV. I was horrified by what I saw. Alessandro was covered in blood, his face and body bruised, his clothes shredded and dripping with blood. "All of you get out!" one of the men growled, causing the maids to scatter. "This can't be Alessandro," I sobbed. "Is this him?" They ignored me and rushed to the elevator. I tried to follow them, but the elevator doors closed before I could reach them. "No," I panicked, fresh tears streaming down my face. "Sophia," Mary called, stepping to my side. "Mary that can't be Alessandro. Tell me it's someone else." I urged, my heart racing wildly in fear. That person looked dead. There was too much blood and injuries. It seemed hopeless. "It's him," Mary replied abruptly. "What?" I gasped, shock rippling through my veins. "No..no...Mary..." "It's him," her voice trembled this time, tears filling her eyes. "I had never seen him so vulnerable before. He spoke a bit, but his words weren't very coherent." "What did he say?" I sni

    Sophia's POV."Sophia, this is a great opportunity for us to have our lives back," My father said, his voice filled with hope. "We can go to another country and lay low for a while if he returns." "I...don't know," I stuttered, my hands nervously clenching the side of my dress. "Sophia, this may be the only chance at happiness we'll ever get," he urged, his voice growing more insistent. "Let's take it and move on."The idea of returning to a normal life sounded so appealing. I could finally sketch, paint, and live without any restraints or fear. I could finally exhibit my works again like I had always done. Most of all, I could spend uninterrupted, happy moments with my father.I would be far away from the killings, blood, abuse—and Alessandro. But that was the problem. After spending almost two months with him, I couldn't imagine my life without him.I knew it sounded crazy because I had always wanted to escape him. Was this Stockholm syndrome? I had no idea."Sophia," my father ca

    Sophia's POV. "Alessandro," I called out but there were only more gunshots rippling through the air."What is happening?" I panicked, my heart racing wildly in my chest. "Did he get attacked? Did he get shot? Why did he say those words?"My heart raced, worry gripping me."Did Rita's family attack him? He said they weren't happy about what happened to those devils?" I said through my clenched teeth. "Oh no."I rushed out of my room and went downstairs. I got to the kitchen but Mary wasn't there. I ran over to the maids' quarters and found her in their kitchen."Mary!" I called, rushing toward her."Slow down," she gasped, holding me before I fell forward. "What is the problem?""Alessandro," I muttered, my breaths ragged. "I think he was shot. We were on the phone when...when...""Sophia, take a deep breath," Mary suggested. "I truly get what you're saying, please calm down."After I took a few breaths, she asked, "What happened to Alessandro?""I don't know...exactly what happened,

    Alessandro's POV.I hastened my steps to the garage, and once I got into my car, I let out a heavy sigh.Why was she trying to get close to me again? Didn't she tell me to give her space? She was starting to confuse me. Her complex behaviors were messing with my mind.I leaned back in my seat, shaking my head at the memory. However, I couldn't help but feel like an idiot for declining her offer to watch a movie. She asked twice and I failed to read between the lines."Damn it," I cursed, gripping the steering wheel tightly. "I think I've lost my chance to start something with her," A bitter chuckle escaped me. "But maybe it's for the best. Being celibate for a while hasn't been that bad."I was about to start my car when my phone buzzed. I answered through my air pod."Yes?""Boss, it's Jared," his voice came through. "I'm calling to remind you that we're heading to the new site together. I'm outside, waiting.""I didn't forget, I'll be there in a few minutes," I muttered, ending the

    Sophia's POV."Open up," Alessandro urged, bringing the bowl closer to my lips.I reluctantly parted my lips and took a sip of the 'potion'. The bitterness that shot through my tongue was unbearable."Fuck!" I cursed, spitting it out. "This is disgusting. Why is it so bitter?""It's the leaves I used," he answered calmly, urging me to drink more. "Take some more. It won't work if you just take a sip.""Are you sure this isn't going to worsen my cramps or send me to the great beyond? Because this is awful," I spat, clear irritation in my voice."Do you want the pain to persist or not?" he asked, his tone serious, his piercing gaze fixed on me. I clutched my stomach and shook my head."No," I whimpered, hating how helpless I sounded. "Then try to drink it. I understand that it's bitter and uncomfortable, but it'll help you relax and get better sleep," Alessandro whispered, his voice softer now. "Alright," I muttered with a resigned sigh and took the bowl from him. "God help me."I cl
