Sophia's POV.

I gritted my teeth as Alessandro's grip on my wrist tightened.

The words he had spoken earlier still rang in my ears.

He was not going to let me go nor was he going to annul the deal and worse, he going to take me back with him.

I was furious with him. Furious that he was using my father's mistakes against me and that he still had his grip over me.

But then, I was also angry with myself because deep down, I knew that a tiny part of me wasn't against the idea of going back to me instead, I was fighting myself not to feel happy about it.

Gosh, I had missed Alessandro, I missed him so badly but then...

I turned to glance at my father who was looking both guilty and terrified.

Was this why he was insistent on me marrying Ray? Because he knew that Alessandro was already in trouble.

Trouble that he had orchestrated with Alessandro's enemy. That was why he was talking about security and all because he knew that Alessandro was in danger.

My father bent his head in shame. I gu

    Sophia's POV. I couldn't help staring at everything in awe. “Sophia, you've been staring long enough. Say something, anything,” he prompted me and I noticed how tense his posture was. He was actually anxious about what I would say. “Is this it? Is this all of it? Am I supposed to be impressed or something?” I remarked, brushing imaginary dust off my shirt. “You don't. . .you don't like it?” He was surprised and the only problem was that I did like the painting studio, maybe even too much.The studio was the definition of perfection, my own heaven on earth. I was surrounded by artwork that dated back to before I was born. Just being in the presence of such genius was enough to prompt inspiration to paint. The inner me was screaming and jumping with ecstatic joy but Alessandro could not know that or he would think he had found a way to win me over.“It's nice, I guess,” I faked a yawn, slapping a hand over my mouth. “Can I go to bed now?”“To bed?” He checked the time on his watch

    Sophia's POV. I clutched my phone tightly in my hands and my knuckles were almost turning white. How in the world did Laura know I was here? I had only spent one night here and she already knew? It felt suspicious. It was either she was monitoring me from outside, or she had someone in Alessandro's house."I hope you understand that I do not make empty threats," Laura's voice came in again."Please Laura," I whispered, my voice raw with emotions."Please, just give me a week, I swear, I will figure something out, I will look for a way out, please, don't do this," I begged her as my body trembled.On the other end, I heard Laura sigh but there was no sympathy in her voice."Fine! One week Sophia, just one week, and if you stay there even a minute more, I will hand over the evidence to the enemy without a moment" She replied."Yes, I understand, thank you so much," My stomach twisted.The call ended with a sharp click but not before I heard Laura's mocking laughter.I stood there, fr

    Author's POV. Sophia swallowed hard as she did not know what to answer Alessandro. How was she going to tell him that she did care that was why she had been acting the way she was to him."Well, I guess you don't have any answer to that," Alessandro snickered.Sophia swallowed hard because of the lump in her throat. She knew he was hurting which was why he was acting that way towards her but she still had to try even though he believed that she did not care for him."Alessandro, it's..." She tried explaining but he cut her off."I don't know why you are suddenly acting like you care when you won't so please leave me alone if you don't have anything meaningful to say and stop toying with my emotions," Alessandro said and walked away.Sophia almost crumbled at the weight of his words and actions but she refused to break down."No, I will not be weak at this point. I will not allow him to intimidate me into not stopping him," Sophia decided.She concluded that she was going to stay back

Laura stood in front of him nervously, twiddling her thumbs and managing a smile whenever he looked at her.“This is good, very, very good material indeed. Finally, I can deal with Alessandro as I always wanted to.”Laura cleared her throat noisily and Angelo paused in his musing, sliding his eyes towards her.“Deal with Alessandro how? I was hoping we could use the videos to extort from him or to force him to do anything we want.”“We? Who is this 'we' you speak of?” Angelo lifted a scarred eyebrow and let out a bone chilling laugh. “There is no 'we' in this. There is only me but don't worry. I'll pay you a token for your part in my victory.”Laura went pale, rubbing her sweaty palms against her skirt. “What are you going to do to him?” she eyed the scary bodyguards hanging around Angelo and suddenly wished to be anywhere but there.“Alessandro?

    Author's POV.After ending the call with the spy, Angelo returned to the drink table to get a glass of whiskey. The night was looking up but his mind was not at rest yet. It seemed like there was something he was forgetting.“Fowler? Fowler!” he had to yell because the music was too high. “Yes, boss!” He moved the girl on his lap off him, running to Angelo's side. “You called?”“Our plans have been pushed forward,” Angelo told Fowler about Alessandro's plans to pick up his shipment and Fowler grinned.“That's good news, boss. If you can capture Alessandro yourself, you will no longer need Marcus'" help.”Marcus! That was what or who, rather, he had been trying to remember.“Speaking of Marcus, it has been a while since he and I spoke. What's going on with him?”Fowler paused in the act of refilling his glass, surprised that Angelo had not heard about what happened to Marcus.“Boss, Marcus is very sick and has been hospitalized for almost a week.

    (Sophia’s POV).My heart pounded violently against my chest, each beat fast and excruciating. I strained my ears to catch the sound of slow claps and the deliberate click of heels against the floor.Someone was approaching. I struggled against the ropes binding me to the chair, a surge of panic making me want to scream. But to whom? My mouth was gagged so tightly, stuffed with a handkerchief to ensure I couldn't make a sound.My eyes were blindfolded, the fabric tied so securely that not even a sliver of light could seep through. I was engulfed in darkness, forced to rely solely on my ears to discern the sounds around me.From what I could gather, there were likely four men in the room with me. The ropes binding me were unyielding, ensuring I remained seated against my will.A chuckle shattered the silence, dripping with mockery at my feeble attempt to escape."What do you think you are doing? Trying to free yourself?" someone asked. I ignored the taunt, my hands still struggling agai

    Sophia’s POV. Beep. Beep. The gentle sound of the machine beside me forced me back to consciousness, and as my eyes fluttered open slowly, it landed on the ceiling and it took a while of glancing around the room before I realized I was in a hospital and the memories came rushing back. “…take her far away and kill her.” The words of Ray that had played out of the recording filled my head and I felt a sharp pain twist my chest like something had just pierced through it. Ray sold me off so he wouldn't pay me back and his intentions were to kill me. How? That man said he loved me, he said he was willing to do anything for me and wanted me to be the mother of his children. I had given him all my money, trusting him when he mentioned his mother was dying. I believed it when I saw a video of her critically sick in the hospital. That money was the only money my father had left after his company went bankrupt years ago. He had sacrificed that money so I could fulfill my dream of host

    Sophia’s POV.“I must say Sophia, you surpassed my expectations and this exhibition is the best I have seen so far. I would be making a donation at the end of the day to support you and if you don’t mind, my company would like to market some of your art pieces.” One of the men father invited said to me and a wide smile appeared on my face as I thanked him profusely.It’s been two whole weeks since the incident with the stranger and Ray’s disappearance. I had filed a report at the station and they said they would handle it but there was no development on the case and I knew better than to bank on the police to save me from the stranger.“I am someone you don’t want to cross paths with but when you do, it doesn’t end well for you.”Those words were my driving force over the weeks. I needed to raise his money and the only way to stand a chance was the exhibition. Father surpassed my expectations, I had no idea how he had managed to put together all the funds we needed but he did and sim

    Alessandro's POV. “What?” I exploded, letting my hand on Sophia's arm fall away. “You are getting married to Ray?” I was getting fed up with the drama surrounding Sophia and her father.“No, wait. Alessandro, it's not what you think. How could you tell him that, Father?” Sophia asked Marcus, who was glaring at me from his pitiable state.“Because it's true. You promised me that you would marry Ray so, what is this criminal doing here?” Marcus questioned.Sophia shook her head vehemently to challenge Marcus' claim. “No, Father, you made me promise to marry Ray and I agreed just so you would feel better. I don't want to marry Ray, Father.”“What are you. . .” he coughed, cutting short his words briefly. Marcus' was not looking good, more like a living ghost. But I didn't really give a damn. Sophia was never getting married to Ray, not while I was still breathing.“Change of plans,” I announced and yanked Sophia by the hand, pulling her to myself. She fell against my chest, gasping when

    Sophia's POV.I sat frozen in my seat where I was seated close to my father as Ray's words rang in my head.I should meet up with Alessandro and fix a day when we can talk and call all deals off.My fingers tightened around the strap of my purse.It had been two weeks since I last saw Alessandro, two weeks since I shattered his heart and mind and now I was supposed to face him again?Ray kept on talking and yapping about logistics and how we should meet in a public place and all but I was not listening anymore. My mind was filled with different emotions and thoughts as a feeling of dread settled in my stomach."You are quiet," He observed."But you will do it, won't you?" He asked.I swallowed hard and looked at my father who was staring at me with expectations in his face."Yeah, I will do it." My voice came out smaller than I had intended.It wasn't a lie, I was going to do it because I had no choice but that didn't mean that I was ready to do it.---It took me a week before I fina

    Sophia's POV. I sat outside my house, waiting for Ray to get there. I had to take Father's clothes and some food to him but I had no money on me to take a taxi. Ray's car was my only hope to get to the hospital. He blew his horn when he got to the gates and I rolled my eyes at his obnoxious behaviour. There was more than one reason why Ray and I could never be together again, despite what I promised my father.I grabbed my bags and headed outside, Ray opening his car door to let himself out. He reached for the bags but I withdrew, keeping them out of his reach. “I just want to help, Sophia, nothing more. You are overreacting. Come on, let me help you with the bags.”“Just open the door for me, Ray. The bags are not that heavy and I can carry them.”He stood there staring at me for a full minute and I met his gaze squarely. When he realized that I was not backing down, he held open the back seat and I dropped the bags in there. “I got you something to eat,” he broke the silence aga
