Sophia

"Burn her!" Samantha instructed with a wicked smile and turned to leave. "Oh, and Sophia…" she paused and turned to look at me, still smiling. "I'll make sure to take good care of Leo for you," she whispered in the most annoying voice and burst out laughing.

"Sam, please don't do this! I'm not going to be a problem! I'll leave him!" I cried, hoping she would stop seeing me as a threat, "That's the thing, Sam, even if you leave him, you can never leave his heart. He loved you, and as long as you're alive, he won't let me fully into his heart," she replied and took slow strides to where I was.

"He doesn't love me. If he did, he wouldn't divorce me so easily, so please just let me go," I pleaded. She pretended to think about it for a while before saying, "Nope, I am not taking any chances. You have to go. Sorry." She spun around and walked out of the room, leaving me with her two minions.

The man picked me up from the chair and took me back outside to the same car he brought me in. He forced me into the car and locked me in. From inside, I watched in horror as he poured gasoline all over the car.

"Help! Help me!" I screamed and began trying to escape from the car. The door to the other side opened, and the woman got in. She handed me a piece of paper and a pen. "Sign here," she instructed calmly as if we were not in a car that would soon be set ablaze.

I stared at the paper, and it read "Transfer of Vehicle Ownership." They were trying to make it seem like I bought the car and self-exited in it. "You're crazy if you think I'll sign that!" I snapped. I couldn't see her face because of the mask she was wearing, but I could tell she was glaring at me.

She brought out a gun from behind her and pointed it at me, threatening me to sign the paper. But I maintained my stance, she was going to kill me anyway, so what was the point? She raised the gun backward and tried to hit me with it, but I dodged and knocked the gun out of her hand.

She punched me hard and bent to retrieve the gun. Just then, my eyes caught sight of a bottle of champagne under the seat, and I quickly picked it up and smashed it on her head.

She went numb immediately. I wasn't sure if she passed out or was dead, but I couldn't care. I looked out the window to see the man going into the house, probably to get a lighter. Without wasting time, I took off the lady's clothes and face mask and put them on myself. I dressed her in my clothes and took the gun, tucking it in my pocket. I also made sure to sign the papers before I got out of the car.

The man returned just as I got out of the car. "Did she sign it?" he asked. I nodded, trying to look as calm as possible. "Good, but why is she so silent? You didn't kill her, did you?" he asked and began walking to the car.

"I knocked her out," I lied, trying so hard to imitate the lady's voice. He stopped in his tracks and stared at me suspiciously. "Let's get this over with, then," he muttered and retrieved a lighter from his pocket.

I stepped away from the car and watched as he threw the lighter on it. The car was immediately engulfed in flames, and soon an explosion occurred, followed by a piercing scream. It turned out she was alive after all.

The man burst out laughing like that was the funniest thing he had ever seen. I had spent the last two years watching Leo kill people, so death didn't faze me anymore, but the fact that it was supposed to be me burning in the car sent chills down my spine.

"Let's go, the boss is waiting," the man said and began walking toward the car. I stared at him as he got closer to the car. I knew I couldn't go with him. It would only be a matter of time before I was figured out.

"Aren't you coming?" he asked, spinning around. I stared at him hesitantly before finally deciding on what to do. I retrieved the gun I had stolen from the lady and planted a bullet in his head. I watched as he fell to the ground, lifeless.

I tucked the gun back in my pocket and carried his body into the car. He was really heavy, and by the time I finally had him in the car, I was soaked with sweat.

I got into the car and began navigating my way out of the abandoned road. It took me two hours before I was finally off the road. I drove around the city for a while, not sure of where to go. I made sure to avoid police checkpoints and busy roads. I finally came to a stop in front of a forest.

I looked around for a while, making sure no one was watching, before driving into the forest. I avoided the trees as much as possible and drove at full speed until I came across a cliff. "Here's our stop," I announced to the dead man in the back seat.

I got out of the car and went to stand at the edge of the cliff to make sure it was deep enough. After confirming that, I returned to the car, put it in neutral, and got out. "Goodbye, monster," I muttered as I watched the car drive toward the edge of the cliff.

    Sophia I watched as the car drove off the cliff without any remorse, after all, he didn't mind watching me burn in that car.I spun around and began to walk out of the forest when I heard a loud explosive sound. I turned to see flames erupting from the cliff and let out a satisfied smile.I returned to my condo and packed a few things that I could get my hands on. I needed to get out of there fast. I packed some clothes, jewelry, money, and most importantly, my passport.I knew that it was only a matter of time before Reggie or Leo heard of my "death" and stopped by to check if I was really gone. If they found out I was still alive, it wouldn't take long for Samantha to find out, too.I put on a pair of faded blue jeans, an oversized hoodie, and a baseball cap. I zipped up my suitcase and dragged it outside. I thought of calling a taxi but decided that using my phone was too risky. Sam could be tracking it.The bus stop was just a stone's throw from where I lived, so I dragged my sui

    Sophia’s Pov“W-what is this, what are you both doing here?” My brows furrowed as I glanced between the lady and Quinn, who relaxed in his seat without a care in the world. He was the only person sitting in the First Class area, which said a lot. Just how rich was this man?“I never imagined we’d meet this way, Sophia.” His lips curved into a thin smile as he leaned forward to pick up a glass of wine, slowly tilting it into his mouth.I watched on in discomfort, fiddling with the edge of my clothes as I gulped harshly. This was definitely not how I planned for my day to go. I didn’t expect to meet my ex-husband’s lifelong enemy here, yet here I was, standing in the midst of chaos. Hailey finally spoke up, “I saw her trying to flush her baby out. I intervened as soon as possible.” “Oh? Did something go wrong between you and Leo?” He asked, a smug smirk tugging at his lips. My eyes stung with tears and my throat felt tight all of a sudden, as I gripped the edge of a seat, trying to

    Sophia “Are you listening to yourself?” I blurted, shocked by his proposal.“You heard me right. I said you should marry me.” Quinn repeated himself slowly, and each word made me feel like I was in some sort of a fever dream.“So, I marry you and in return, you protect me? That’s all?” I glanced towards Hailey, seeking some assurance. It seemed like I should’ve just walked away when I had the chance. What had I gotten myself into?“Why is that so hard for you to believe, Sophia?” Hailey interjected, annoyed by how I was speaking probably.“I’m honestly just trying to understand why you’re both helping me.” I shook my head in confusion, pursing my lips.“Do you need to know the minor details?” Quinn said, his demeanor calmer than ever. I bit my tongue to hold myself back.“What else am I in for? I want to know now.” I demanded, standing my ground.“That’s not something we can tell you right now. All I know is that if you follow through with this, you’ll be safe from Leo and Samantha’s

    Sophia’s PovMy fingers glided over my soft skin, which felt nothing like it had before. I hadn’t looked in the mirror yet, but Hailey was constantly fawning over how beautiful the work done on me was.“I do feel better now…” I murmured, taking a peep at Hailey who was sitting on the edge of my hospital bed. “Yeah, the doctor said that by the second week, you’d be fine. The bandages are ready to take off too. Are you ready to see your new face?” She beamed.I pursed my lips, unsure if I would like the outcome or not. The deed was already done anyway, it was either I regretted my decision or I loved it. There was no in-between and like I usually told myself over and over there is no choice either.I sat up slowly, “Yeah…I think I am,” I nodded, outstretching my hand, “Could you pass me the mirror?”“Uh, yeah.” Hailey reached for the handheld mirror on the small wooden table beside her, passing it to me. This was the final revelation, huh?I took small, shaky breaths as I slowly unrave

Even Hailey was disappointed.is it that hard to comprehend?I stood in front of the mirror, trying to give myself a pep talk. “You can do this, Soph–.” I paused, slapping my forehead in agitation as I shook my head. No, no, I'm getting it all wrong again. “Gina. My name is Gina now.” I breathed, smoothing down my clothes as I noticed my bump. So, babies grew this fast? I gave a small smile to myself before stepping out of the room, ready to take on another day. I had been informed a while ago that Quinn had requested to see me, but I was getting ready which made me late. When I arrived, the room was full of smoke and there in the middle sat Quinn, puffing on a cigar with his legs kicked up on the small glass table in front off him. It was either he didn't know that I had entered, or he just ignored me because

    Sophia pov I sat on my bed in silence, my mind playing games on me. I still couldn’t seem to forget how Quinn killed that man and left him lifeless in a pool of his own blood. It made me absolutely sick to my stomach.The scene just kept on replaying in my head over and over as I took deep breaths and drank water. Two days had passed now, and I hadn’t even eaten anything. I heard a soft knock on my door before a maid waltzed in with a tray full of food. “Madam, here’s your breakfast.” She said, standing in front of me. “Uhm, you can go put it right over there.” I gestured to the table beside my bed, and she nodded immediately moving to place the food there. “ Master Quinn says you should eat.” She said, and with that, she scurried out of the room leaving me all alone in my silence. The funny thing is that I kneww I would not eat the food, it’d go the way it had been for the past 2 days. Quinn knew it, Hailey knew it, the maids knew it, even the chef knew it.

    Sophia pov I groaned, putting a hand up to my head as the birds outside chirped loudly. I didn’t feel like getting up but the noise made it unbearable for me to fall back to sleep easily.I carefully sat up, guiding myself with one arm on the bed while pushing my back to rest against the headboard. With every movement now, I could feel my stomach getting heavier and heavier with the baby.I heard a rustle beside me and turned to face the chair where I saw Quinn. His eyes were fixated on me and narrowed. I yelped, my heart racing and my eyes wide as I looked at Quinn, “What are you doing here?” I asked, barely hearing myself over the sudden rush of blood to my ears.“Were…were you watching me sleep?” I asked, feeling self-conscious all of a sudden. I was in just shorts and a tank top, and even though the blanket did a good job of concealing me, I still couldn’t help but feel odd.He ignored my questions, standing up from the chair with a soft creak. “You’re awake, good.” He crossed hi

    Sophia pov Quinn looked at me with an expression that I couldn’t register as we sat in the car quietly as the driver drove to some other place. I was unsure of where we were going, but that didn’t matter to me now.The excitement of knowing that my baby was a boy overwhelmed me, now I could barely think straight.“Why are you smiling like a fool?” Quinn asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.“I-I’m sorry…I just…” I babbled, as I whipped my head so fast that I almost got whiplash. He chuckled, shaking his head.“Just save it. We’re heading to a meeting now.” He said, redirecting his focus back to the road.“I need you to know that these aren’t ordinary people. I’m there to strike a deal and you’re my wife now. You have every right to come with me.” He muttered.Hearing him call me his wife made me feel queasy a bit, but I shook off the feeling. “Okay. I understand.” I agreed. It wasn’t as if I had an option, and besides we were too far from home for me to suddenly demand that we turn

    GINA’S POVI wheeled into the parking lot of the hanger. An ambulance right behind me, roughly screeching to a halt. I hopped down, lifting a revolver gun out of the car. The ambulance door swung open and Quinn alighted. A bazooka placed on his shoulder. His radio was reporting. “Nothing living on site Boss.”He looked at his men in the ambulance. “It’s clear, move him now.” Quinn ordered. I took the front, they followed behind me. The jet just a few feet away. Three guards lay in wait with a woman. She has a thin purple scarf over her neck, covering part of her face.The doctors pushed the stretcher onward. Derek had been strapped down on so he wouldn't fall. Quinn hovering around us, watching the parameter. The doctors pushed Derek up into the craft while I stopped in front of the lady.Her face is hidden but I could tell she is smiling.“Thank you… Hailey.

    GINA'S POV That long, dragging piercing sound of a faulty radio, that's the only thing I could hear when my head hit the ground. My eyes flickered and the pain in my head just didn't stop gnawing at me.I held what seemed like the bashed side and tried to pull myself up. The whole world is in chaos. Black boots stumbling back and forth beside me. Men yelling... falling. There is blood everywhere.I couldn't think but my subconscious mind is able to calculate and know that I have to flee so I did. Stomping around like I was blind. The debris of blown up rocks with jagged edges tore the skin on my feet. I groaned but I couldn't put myself together enough to tell which way is right.Someone is yelling, his voice tried to break through the screeching sound in my ear but it couldn’t. I couldn't tell what he was saying. Until… he grabbed me “Take cover.” He dragged me down with him, enveloping me in his arms. An explosion erupted the very next second. I shrunk into his enclosure, shudder

    I heard the baritone voice behind the door. I spun around immediately. A relieved smile settling on my face. I had been waiting for him. I let go of the hem of my shirt rumble by my grip. The door opened slowly and Quinn walked in. His clothes are ripped a little and he is covered in dust. Tears weld up in my eyes. With our lips sealed I asked him, if he was hurt. He heaved and shock his head. He wasn't . I ran to him and hugged him. We shared a passionate kiss for a moment before we disengaged. He pulled me to him and we both faced Reginald.“You said you could find him right?” Quinn asked.“Yes.” He said, navigating away from his bed.“Leonardo has two safe houses. Four months back, one of the was burned out so they decided to make the second one fire proof. Then when Gina came, he began to fantasize having a family so he renovated the place to look like a home. If he is taking him to a safe place then that's the location.”“Directions, We don't have time.” Reggie shock his

    GINA'S POV I greeted the nurses and found my way down the hall. Reggie's ward has been changed. He was in a more luxurious one. I wore Shades over my eye and my hair down. The bandages ha been removed, some places on my face has been badly scarred. The doctor said I couldn't get surgery yet. I have gotten quite a few in past already. So, I have to wear some plasters and so my hair hid them.I got to the room on that floor, knocked and waited. I heard light giggling and ruffling of sheets then the door opened. A young nurse greeted me and scurried off. A button undone in her apparel. I walked in slowly, looking around the room. At the femminie choice of flowers and the heavy scent of ladies’ choice cologne. I shock my head, pulling myself a seat. Reggie is watching me, my face to be precise. It has been a while since I visited because of the accident.“What are you looking at? We haven't spoken in weeks and the wallpaper is what first catches your attention?”.“Not really.

    Alduro hopped down the tinted SUV he had parted a while back. He put his shades up and majestically walked up to my car. He knocked on the windows.“It's a hundred plus degrees out here now. How can you not be stewing in that car?” I popped the door open. “Get in.”Alduro feigned a chilling sign mocking me as usual before climbing into passenger seat. I swerved, hitting the road the next moment.“Did you station the surveillance like I asked you? Yeah. There was a glitch though with one of my own but it's been fixed.” He answered, his tone had that unchanging hoarseness.“Good.”“Where to now?” “I'm going to see my son.”“Yeah he will definitely jump for joy once a total stranger grabs him in front of his school.” He chuckled. I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes. He didn't even try to hide the sarcastic look on his face.“Sometimes I wonder where you find the creativity of yours to piss me off like this.”“It's god’s gift.” He best his chest, and laughed.“The boy

    “What?”I ignored her. Allowing the news to sink in. Somehow I found myself eager to know what stunt she is planning to pull next.“Impossible. Leo you are losing it. Oh god, I don't understand? What's so special about that bitch that you are so willing to go mad for her.”I chuckled. A little disappointed. I expected a better show from her “Save me the petty talk Samantha. Honestly, it's really starting to get annoying.” I growled.From here, I could hear her heart beat faster and faster. Her composure selling her out.“Leo, don't do this. We just got back together. She is dead. She burned in that car. Please just let it go. You are hurting our love.” Her voice quivered and she sniffled.I glanced back at her, tears streaming down from her eyes. Any stranger who just walked in would think I am the monster and she is a love-deprived damsel in distress. The thought of it twisted my gut and fueld my anger.I made a full turn, and began to stride slowly towards her. Sam stepped back, h

    LEO’S POV I slammed the car door and stumped on the cigarette butt. My Don driving the car, hopped down immediately and went on his knees.“Boss please calm down. I will not make this mistake again. I promise.”I puffed steam, pulling out a 48 caliber. “One! Rule! One fucking rule! Is it that hard to obey?!” I yelled. He cringed back, shuddering like a wet rat.“Boss it will never happen again I promise. I promise.”I glared at him, my smoldering gaze might have burned through that disgusting skin of him. I bit down hard on my teeth and clenched the gun. Fumming with the desire to burst that empty brain of his.“How could you be so stupid?” He quivered, saying nothing.“It was a simple instruction. Don't let me hear you breathing.”“I’m…. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.”I stared down at the filth of a Don, my gun pointed at his head. My face quirked into a disgusted grin.“Your sorry mean nothing to me.” I squeezed the trigger. The blast of a revolver hit the ground, the sounded j

    “I met him after Leonard and I broke up our brotherhood. Before Georgie, I lived in a thorn down neighborhood in Chicago. White kids didn't get the best attention there until proved themselves though so I was bullied often… no, a lot.”I giggled unintentionally. Quinn looked at me. I didn't hide it. I couldn't imagine Quinn getting builed. He was 6’3 and he bulked up everywhere. I had to have his suits custom made but whenever he got into a gang fight or something intense, his muscles would rip it apart.“I wasn't all this huge back then you know.”“I know.” I said, holding back my laugh. He kissed my lips and then his eyes trailed back to the woods before us.“Leonardo was a transfer student. He was Italian. A squish looking one. His look was literally begging for bullies so they diverted to him. Leaving everyone else alone. All the nerds in school loved it. They didn't dare interfere when Leonardo was taking the heat because their safety was assured-”“Except you.”“Yeah. I confron

    TWO DAYS LATER I opened my eyes slowly. Pianos tunes woke me. I tried to open my eyes wider but the sun rays stung my eyes. I made a almost inaudible sound of pain. The pain ceased and then I Heard footsteps. Someone stood over me. His face is blur. I couldn't tell who it is even when I tried to remember. Everything is woozy up in my head. The figure leaned knelt beside my bed and kissed my forehead. “Gina. I am so glad you are awake. You scared me.” I recognized his voice immediately. There is this warm feeling of peace that light up inside me immediately. “Quinn.” “Mhmm.” He hummed a reply, holding my hand gently. The memories of that night are coming back to me slowly. I remember telling Quin where I was going. He told me to stay pit. I didn't listen. I tried to smile but I couldn't twitch my lips so much. My face felt heavy and squeeze up. . “Quinn, I can't feel my face.” “It's okay. Don't worry.” He kissed my hand. “Are you sure? I can't feel my face.”
