Chasing Sofia Chapter 89
SOFIA So this is what it feels like? I must be dreaming but I was damn sure I was sober and very much aware of my surroundings so I knew everything that happened last night. It felt like a dream but I knew it was real, yes, Alex and I made love.As I sat down to enjoy my breakfast, I couldn’t help but smile as I reminisced about the incredible sexual encounter I had with the man I had been considering to date, that man was Alex! The details of that night were still fresh in my mind, and I found myself reliving every moment with a sense of satisfaction and longing.I hadn’t thought I would be able to take the bold step I took that night. I was scared, so damn scared of being rejected. The problem would have made me even quit because I wouldn’t know what he had in his mind each time he sees me at the office (or, I could just blame it on the alcohol because I made me think I was drunk) . And then when I had kissed him and he didn’t respond, I was shattered, damn, I was angry.But then h
Chasing Sofia Chapter 90
SOFIA His words were so firm and I was pulled to want to obey but I said nothing and he just left me standing. I wasn’t even sure why he was so angry. He had this flaming fire in his eyes and it scared the hell out of me, I wished I knew what he was thinking as at that time.He had said his last words like I had no other choice than to obey. He had said, “well, I don’t expect you to say yes immediately. But I know you would still obey.”And now, thinking about it, I realized that sooner or later, I was going to obey him, like I was going to move into his house. I knew this because of my fear. My life had flashed right in front of me and I had almost lost the power to move because of shock. When I had first saw the man with the axe, all the blood in my body system had died and I was unable to move, I had moved at the last minute when the axe was just close to my face.That single swing could have ended my life, it could have completely damaged my face and I was going to really bleed t

ALEX The love making was making love.That was what I would say to what happened between Sofia and I. It's been long, yes, the last time I had sex was about a year ago... Or, I wasn't even sure. I didn't put that in the list of my priorities so I didn't take it as something that important.Sex was the last thing on my mind when I came to New York. And I sat at my apartment bar, staring down at my drink, the memories from my past sexual experience flooded my mind. I couldn't help but think about the last sexual experience I had. It wasn't anything to write home about, that's for sure. It had been lacking in excitement, passion, and genuine connection.I had gone through the motions, desperate for some kind of physical release, but as I looked back on it, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. The sex was not nice at all. It didn't fulfill me in the way I had hoped it would. But this with Sofia? Damn! I had this kind of feeling of fulfillment. Like it was something I had alway
Chasing Sofia Chapter 92
ALEX I kept looking at her as I drove. Here was a chance to let her die by the axe of that unknown person. It was even easier that way. I wouldn’t have her blood in my hands and that would mean I did not commit any crime.But then as she sat beside me, so shaken and scared, I couldn’t help but feel pity towards her. It was all too much on her, I guess and she showed it that she was going through a lot. And there are limits to how we all can take things, as at now, I knew she couldn’t take in so much.And with what I had seen, I knew a lot was still going to happen to her. That was because of the fact that it was someone from the Crow Cartel that wants her dead. And I was sure the person would do anything to end her life. The question now was ‘who wants her dead?’ I was so sure that my father didn’t know Sofia, he hadn’t seen her before. He would have if she hadn’t chickened out on me like that. Even me, I didn’t get to know her face well until after she ran away. I just got her pict
Chasing Sofia Chapter 93
ALEX FEAR…There was fear in his eyes, I couldn’t be mistaken. When I saw fear, I can recognize it. This was because it was something that I woke up with and slept with. It was part of my daily routine to be scared. As a child growing up in the house of the most powerful mafia, fear was a constant thing to be expressed by me.It could be from Anthony or it could be from my father, it could be from the hefty men that slept with us in the house and woke up with us. It could be from any of them, and fear was surely bound to shake me violently. It was something I learnt to live with as a child; the constant bullying and ordering around, the beatings and the punishment, they were all a part of me that when I see someone in distress, I can easily call what he was feeling FEAR.To talk about how I was able to overcome my own fear would mean spending the whole day standing and staring at Blake. Talking about him alone, the fear he instilled in me was still there till this moment. Whenever he

SOFIA Jake is dead.The realization that he was dead made me think back about how we were when we were dating. I sat on the edge of my bed (I was now at Alex's house and the decision to be here took me a little y of thinking). I was staring into the distance as memories of Jake Kurt flooded my mind. Jake Kurt was the man of my dreams. The man that would fill the void that had been left in me since my other relationships with 'boys'. Jake filled that void, he was a man like my father, and he would be the best for me if he hadn't cheated on me. I remember the day of the cheating. He had been acting funny even before that day and I had left him. Most times, I wasn't home and I would go out just to save my head from the clutches of my step father. But that day, I wanted to just see Jake and I had gone.It's been years, but the image was still burned into my mind, like a scar that never fades and wouldn't fade. I remembered the gut-wrenching feeling in me that day as I had opened the be
Chasing Sofia Chapter 95
ALEXWas I going to find anything now?I asked myself this question some days ago when Sofia and I had gone to her former house. I asked myself this question when I wasn't closer to getting exactly what I wanted. I remember that day. I knelt down to carefully check out the documents. I was now surrounded by paperwork that seemed to mock me with its lack of answers.I couldn’t shake the feeling of frustration that was now building inside me as I continued to check. The exact thing I was looking for, the main object of my desire seemed just out of reach, and no matter how many times I checked the paperwork, there was nothing to indicate that my situation would change.I rifled through the papers hoping that I had missed something, just something so tiny, some small detail that would make all the difference that I needed. I just have to find something that would help me gain an upper arm. I have to get the Cartel.Before, I had given up on owning the Cartel, and that was because everyth
Chasing Sofia Chapter 96
ALEX This will lead me to my grave…I was sure it would. It was as though Sofia had imprinted herself upon my very essence, leaving an indelible mark that would forever linger within my soul.And what I'll tell myself was that, “this will lead you to your grave, Alexander Crow.”I was so sure this wasn't meant to be. But somehow, it felt so good, it felt so right, so damn right. It was one feeling that I liked even though everything surrounding it should put me in a red zone and should push me out but I was in it, enjoying all that it had to give me.Sofia was like fine wine, something that was irresistible, so damn irresistible to me.Everything I do has her in it, thinking all day has to do with her. My waking and my sleeping has her in it. It was like she was a curse into my life, the curse that had refused to go even though I fought it off with prayers.There was absolutely nothing I did that I could do without her. She was always there. I just couldn't stop thinking about her. S
