CHAPTER 11 VINCENZO Last night, when I got the call that she wanted a job at my magazine, I couldn't hide my excitement.Niko told me she applied overnight, so I'd guess she applied to be an intern here immediately after leaving my estate.I guess that shows how much she hated being with me; she just wants to get a real job so she won't be at my mercy again.Jerald Magazine is one of my ventures that a lot of people never knew about.My empire is much larger than what people think or see. I have a lot that I don't show the world.Niko and my cousin Alfred run it in my absence. I barely go in there to work, except for important purposes like this one right now.I walked over to my computer and scrolled through Sophie's portfolio. She is quite qualified to be an intern, but she also shared her dreams of being the face of our magazine.That would mean nothing to me if only she agrees to my terms and conditions for the job.She wouldn't just be an intern, but also my submissive.“You wil

CHAPTER 12 SOPHIE.Once the cab pulled up in front of Jenny's house, I stepped out and exhaled sharply.This wasn't what I expected. Being his submissive? I knew he was a sadist, but drafting a contract for that was next-level crazy!My stomach grumbled; I hadn't even had breakfast and was starving. I needed to go inside and grab something to eat before I tackled whatever that contract entailed.I opened the door and made my way in, hoping Jenny had some snacks in her fridge. I carelessly dropped the file on the dining table and lunged for her fridge. Thankfully, there were some chips inside.Just then, Jenny strolled down from the stairs and rushed over to me."Listen, before you say anything, I want to tell you that Niko said you killed it. You're hired! I just got your email!" she exclaimed excitedly.I paused mid-chew, fixing my gaze on Jenny. I couldn't help but wonder why she was the one receiving my job-related emails and who the hell Niko was, but I decided to let it slide—sh

CHAPTER 13 VINCENZO.I flicked my wrist, checking my Patek wristwatch. It's been almost seven hours since she left here, and I still haven't heard from her. I expected her to have signed the documents and sent them back, but it seems like she's more stubborn than I thought she'd be.Or maybe I was just being impatient with her. I guess she has to think it through before she signs the agreement. It's been almost forty-eight hours since I last had sex. The urge is killing me, but the only one I want to be with is Sophie, and no one else.I can't believe the kind of hold she has on me after just a few days of meeting her.It's like voodoo. Why do I want her so badly? I don't usually crave a particular person after having dominated them in different ways.All of my playthings in my estate number more than a dozen because I change them almost twice a week, except for my favorite two.I'm sitting in the office now, and I still can't concentrate on what I'm doing. I closed my computer and l

CHAPTER 13SOPHIE“Sophie, you look as beautiful as always,” Jacob remarked, his eyes not tearing away from me for the past thirty minutes.I smiled, feeling a bit uncomfortable. “Thank you, Jacob. You look good too.”“I’ve really missed you. You went aloof after your marriage. Nobody heard anything from you anymore. I'm sorry it didn't work out.”My brows shot up in response. I batted my lids, giving Jenny a side-eye for telling him. I had clearly warned her never to tell anyone about my marriage. I needed everyone to think that I was still married; besides, I was still wearing my ring.All I needed now was a comeback in my modeling career. Getting together with another man right after my first marriage crashed wasn’t ideal for someone like me. I had watched it happen with my mum.Right after her marriage crashed with my dad, in less than two months she had gotten another boyfriend, and in the next three months, they got married. I genuinely prayed that it lasted; she deserves love t

CHAPTER 14 SOPHIEThis is the moment I should snap out of this madness and tell him to stop. Yet, somehow, my body has a mind of its own, and it won’t listen. I shouldn’t be doing this with him right now; I should be on my way home to sort things out with Jenny and Jacob. I know Jacob must be worried about me and has probably been buzzing my phone with calls. I just pray he doesn’t file a missing persons report.As for Jenny, I know I have a lot to explain when I finally get home.Right now, I should be heading back, but here I am, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him as he trails his hands down my thighs.We kissed for what felt like an eternity before I lifted myself up to look at him. I exhaled sharply, letting my tongue glide between his lips, turning our kiss into something more passionate as my fingers tangled in his hair when he lifted me into his arms.I kissed him with fervor, filled with desire.Suddenly, Vincenzo paused and stared at me, a hint of surprise in

CHAPTER 16SOPHIE A couple of hours later, I was dressed in one of the new outfits Scoot had brought me.I can't lie; everything about Vin is luxurious. I'm wearing the latest version of the Dolce and Gabbana design. My cheeks flushed as I nervously walked out to him, where he was already waiting for me.We were running late for work. He doesn't care about that, but I do. He says it is his company and we can do whatever we like, but I don’t want to be associated with him. I don't want people to think I got the job through nepotism, which is why I want to be very professional at work.I don't want to be in his shadow, where all my hard work will be attributed to sleeping with the boss. Yes, I want him, but I also want a normal life at work."I'm ready to leave," I said, and he flashed me a warm smile as he stood up. He stretched out his hand to me. "Shall we?"I intertwined my fingers with his and we walked out of his penthouse.When we got to his garage, my eyes widened at the exotic

CHAPTER 17SOPHIE I shook my head, my hands almost clasped together in a plea. “I'm sorry, ma'am, you misunderstood me. That was not what I meant when I said that.” I was just trying to say that I didn't reject the application. “I came right here after I got the employment letter in my email.” She frowned. “Look, young lady, I'm extremely busy and don't have time to chit-chat with you. A certain Sophie Forbes already declined the job, so if you say that you're missing Sophie, then we have no job for you here. You can leave right away before I call security.” My brows drew together as I stepped closer to her. “I'm sorry, ma'am, but could you check again to be sure? It might not be mine. I think you're mistaking me for another person.” The lady scoffed. “You're really something else.” She looked around as if trying to call for security. Suddenly, a man approached us. “What is it, Madam Aurora?” he asked in a stern voice. She quickly stood upright. “Good morning, sir. It's really

CHAPTER 18 SOPHIE The whole place was filled with people. They weren't too many, but Jenny's house was a cozy space, so it felt suffocating. Scanning the room, I couldn't help but feel the infectious energy of the party. The air was electric, filled with laughter, chatter, and music.My eyes narrowed when I saw Jacob and my mum in the corner conversing. My brows drew together in surprise. I couldn't figure out what my mum was doing at Jenny's house. Does she know that I live here, just a few kilometers away from where I rented them an apartment?Suddenly, the loud music stopped, and before I knew what was happening, Jenny and some other women rushed toward me, their faces filled with happiness as their eyes sparkled.“Congratulations on your new job, Sophie!” Jenny screamed at the top of her voice. “Girl, come on, smile! This party is for you!”My mum leaped into my arms, her face beaming with joy. “Congratulations, Sophie,” she whispered, and I hugged her, trying so hard to force a

CHAPTER 83 SOPHIE. My body tensed up, and my muscles turned rigid with fear. When his hands ran around my shoulders again, I shivered. I wondered who the hell he was. He wasn't just a mere Robert. Something wasn't adding up. How did he know Vincenzo so well, or was he just trying to guess, perhaps just a coincidence? “What do you think, dear?” He finally let me go and proceeded to sit back in front of me. I felt a deep wave of relief wash over me. I took the opportunity to drag my seat back and pushed myself forward, forcing my feet to stand even if my legs were now shaky. I felt a chill run down my spine, raising the hairs on the back of my neck. “With all due respect, sir, like I said earlier, I'm not interested,” I reminded him. Letting out a sigh, I moved to walk out. “If you'll excuse me, I would love to leave.” “Not so quickly, Sophie.” He jerked up from his chair and quickly made his way to me. “Come on, why are you suddenly acting tough, huh? Vincenzo can hit, and I can't

CHAPTER 82 SOPHIE I still can't believe that Robert tried to come all up on me. For a second, I thought he was a responsible guy with the way he stood up for me against Emma. Asshole! Did he really ask me to come bounce on his dick? Ewww! It was time to go home, and I packed up my things, ready to cruise in my new car. I was no longer staying in the company's lounge; I would be living in a short-let apartment down the street until I was able to scout for a house. Staying in the company lounge had always been a hassle with the crowd of coworkers who had just moved in. I love my space, and staying there only made my space public. Once I was done, I picked up my car keys and made my way to the garage to get my car and drive back home. From afar, I could hear the sound of a car engine. When I looked, it was Robert. He revved his car before driving out of the lane and taking a U-turn to head toward the gate. Unlike every other day when he was done with work, he stopped at my desk to giv
Forbidden Desire:Claimed by Vincenzo. Robert
CHAPTER 81 SOPHIE The tension in the room was palpable. I could feel the atmosphere shift from what it was a few minutes ago, and right now I couldn't tell why I didn't feel very comfortable drinking with Robert. Aside from the fact that I knew Emma would go around spreading different stupid rumors, I just felt like Robert wasn't really genuine. I love to come to my job and do what I have to do. Once I'm done, I leave and don't get into a personal relationship with my boss or even my colleagues.I stayed still, sipping my wine silently. The only sound that could be heard was that of the wine pouring down Robert’s throat. He flashed me a smile and dropped his cup on the table. “I didn't know you were going to smash it so easily. How is it with Vincenzo? I have heard a lot of tales about him, and I'm surprised he had such a good sense of humor when you were interviewing him. Is there anything you think I should know?”I raised my brows. “I don't get you, sir?”He chuckled. “Come on, S

CHAPTER 80SOPHIE Someone like Emma calling me a whore is quite diabolical.I mean, that is her profession. She does that for a living. I see what she wears to get Robert’s attention, just like she was screwing our former boss, and now she stands in front of me accusing me of whoring myself out to get a BMW?Such a clumsy bitch. I just rolled my eyes and chose not to engage with her. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of seeing me riled up. I'm just a new car owner. I will let broke bitches holler. That is the best they can do. Barking dogs don’t bite.“What?” she scoffed. “You can’t speak anymore? Cat got your tongue now, huh?”“Go on, bitch! Speak! I see you have no evidence to refute my claims,” she snarled, and I just rolled my eyes.Soon, the door creaked open, and it was Robert. Every staff member quickly returned to their tasks, scurrying back to their respective seats now that the CEO was here. Emma, on the other hand, forced a smile and leaned in close to my desk like she

CHAPTER 79 SOPHIE “Hello, are you missing Sophie?” One of the airport workers walked up to me and asked as I alighted from the jet.I stopped scrolling through my phone to find an Uber and turned to him. “Yes, I'm Sophie. Any problems?”Before he spoke, I refocused on my phone, searching for the closest Uber from the airport to my workplace. I just knew Emma wouldn't spare me if I dared to show up late today. She hadn't seen me for seven consecutive days, and I'm sure her patience was wearing thin.That clueless bitch!“Ma'am, your car is parked that way,” the young man said, pointing to the garage. My eyes followed his gesture, and I saw a covered car. I gulped before turning back to him.“I’m sorry I could have come out earlier, but I was a little busy and didn’t notice when you dropped off. Mr. Vincenzo said you have the keys; I’m going to open it up for you now.”For a moment, it felt like I was in a fairy tale. My face lit up with excitement as I approached the car, and the man

CHAPTER 78VINCENZOI know something is wrong, but she isn’t willing to speak to me about it. After she went upstairs, her attitude and everything changed. When we came into the party, she was very much excited. What changed?I tried to talk to her in the car, but she wasn't even listening. Her mind was elsewhere. It hurt to see my kitten this way. Just when I thought I had gotten her back, now there’s a last-minute misunderstanding. She keeps saying it’s about work, but I know that it isn’t. Sophie is a resilient woman, and everything that happens at work would never affect her daily life or ruin her mood.It was at the party. I'm sure of it. I’m a hundred percent certain that something went down at the party, and I can't wait to call my mother and ask her if she knows any of the people who met Sophie and what they said to her that made her feel this way. But for now, I wanted to make sure I gave her the new car keys. After our misunder

CHAPTER 77SOPHIE I walked out with my heart pounding in my chest. I took the stairs, walking very fast as if scared she might be trailing me. I barely even knew her or her name to explain what she had just told me. For now, I couldn't stop to think about what she said. All I could think of was getting the hell out of this party. I didn't feel like staying anymore; I just wanted to leave. It seemed like the majority of the guests were psychos. I took the hallway leading to the elevator, and after a few minutes, it beeped. I pressed the button, waiting patiently for it to slide open. Once it did, I made my way out. On reaching downstairs, where the main party was happening, I met Vincenzo. He quickly approached me with a concerned look. “What happened, Sophie? I’ve been looking for you all over the place. Did you get lost coming down here?”I shook my head and forced a smile. “No, I didn’t. I just stopped to use the restroom; that was all that to

CHAPTER 76SOPHIE I forced a smile, turning to Vincenzo, and he nodded, giving me the go-ahead to follow his mother. My heart skipped a beat as I followed her. She held tightly to my hand as she navigated through the crowd of guests, and finally, we were in the hallway. She let me go and heaved a deep sigh of relief."Have you met Foxy?" she asked, and I nodded."Yes, ma'am. I met her a few minutes ago, and we exchanged pleasantries."She nodded and flashed me a smile before we continued. I couldn't really tell where she was taking me. It felt like I was now part of the family with the way they were welcoming me in. For the next couple of minutes, we walked down a large, straight hallway, and then we finally arrived at the large lounge on the right. Once we got there, she pushed the door open, and a deep wave of nervousness washed over me when I saw the crowd inside.It looked like there was another party happening in there. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. The next min

CHAPTER 75.SOPHIE The world seemed to pause. The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by gasps. Vincenzo wasn’t lying; everyone was holding their breath as they stared at me. I froze for a moment, his eyes piercing into mine—both shocked and amused.“Oh my goodness!” The MC’s voice snapped everyone back to the stage. “That was spectacular! Is there anyone who can do better than this?”He looked around before continuing, “Okay then, it’s sold to the damsel sitting over there.”The room erupted into applause, and I felt a thrilling twist of excitement in my stomach. It felt exhilarating to have so many eyes on me, and bargaining at the auction was thrilling.But Vincenzo's face twisted into a frown as he leaned closer. “You’re making a lot of people aware of who you are. Right now, I feel like punishing you!”I smiled and rolled my eyes. “Go ahead and do it. I want to be punished for acting like a child.”He scoffed and looked away for a moment before grabbing my arm. “Let’s go
