CHAPTER 10.

SOPHIE

I blinked rapidly, trying to process the situation. I just applied there yesterday, and this morning it's already approved?

I still can't wrap my head around how fast it went and how possible it was at a gigantic magazine company like Jerald.

But either way, Jenny said she has her ways. Besides, she has been in this longer than I have.

“Can I at least take a quick bath?” I questioned, panicking. “I look like shit, Jenny. I can't go to an interview like this.”

“Interview?” Jenny scoffed, approaching me. “Who said it is an interview? You're hired.”

“How is that even possible, Jenny? They didn't ask me any questions or see my physique, and they want me as their worker? Come on, Jenny, things don't work that way,” I said, creeping in doubt.

Jenny sighed. “You know what, Sophie? Just go take your bath right now. I will drive you there. I already told you that I called my sources in there, and they hired you right away.”

“Come on, Sophie, I’ve got you in this,” she added

    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 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

    CHAPTER 74 SOPHIE This place exudes wealth and luxury. I feel so nervous that I can barely breathe. Just looking at the cars parked in the driveway tells me how many dignitaries are inside. The driveway is lined with sleek, high-end vehicles that gleam in the soft light of the setting sun. I spotted a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce, and even a Lamborghini, each perfectly polished.As I stepped out right after Vincenzo, the mansion itself was a sight to behold. Its exterior is flawless, made of honey-colored stone.Vin turned to me, squeezing my hands reassuringly. “Don’t worry, you’re safe with me. We own this place; there’s no need to be nervous, okay?”I nodded and managed a smile, trying to hide the fact that my heart was pounding in my chest.As we approached the entrance, the men at the door bowed their heads respectfully and greeted him, while others shook hands with Scott and Niko, who were trailing behind us.Everywhere I looked, there was clear evidence of the Bianchi family's incr

    CHAPTER 73.SOPHIE.Since we came back from the salon, he hasn't replied to my text message. At first, I was pissed that he hadn't seen it, but now I'm relieved that he hasn't. I already deleted it. I have to calm down; it seems like something is fishy. The last time I asked, he said he didn't know who she was, but now I saw them talking and smiling. She even patted his back. I try so hard to act like nothing happened and that I didn't see them, but I just can't help it. I have a feeling that, deep down, something is wrong.The only question that lingers in my mind is: Who is she to Vincenzo?He didn't want me to know he knew her, so I'll find out my own way without telling him.But for now, I choose to pretend I didn't see them and enjoy the groove of attending his parents' ball party. That is all that really matters right now.The next minute, Vincenzo wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. “I'm ready….”I turned around, forcing a smile as I looked at him. I was met wi

    CHAPTER 73 VINCENZO When I checked the time, I quickly hurried back to the salon. I was sure Sophie must be done. I had been at the bunker with Niko earlier. One of my deadbeat debtors was brought in, and I had to quickly teach him a lesson. I had given that bastard loans during one of his darkest times, and since then, he had avoided me and refused to pay me back. Well, now he had lost a few fingers as a warning. If after seventy-two hours he still hadn’t come back to pay his debts, I would have all ten of his fingers removed, along with his feet.After that, I hurried back; I didn’t want to keep her waiting. She was too beautiful for that, so I raced my best and quickly parked in the garage of the salon. But as I stepped out of my car, I heard the screech of a bike, which grabbed my attention. When I looked sideways, I saw Kitty on her bike.“Hey, Vin!” she smiled, turning over her bike once she saw me. “How’s your health? You need to call me back for another treatment, or are you

    CHAPTER 72SOPHIE My body tensed up, and my jaw dropped as I took in the details of her face and body. The scar on her upper brow, the patch over her eye, and the little tattoo down her jawline? That was her! The same one who had been stalking me just days ago in Vincenzo's penthouse!I snapped away from her grip and clutched my hands tightly to the arms of my chair as I stared at her, my eyes trailing down her body. It was well-covered today, so I couldn't see all those tattoos I remembered.The lady washing my hair continued; she didn’t notice anything, but my heart was pounding in my chest at the sight of the woman who wanted to kill me in my dream a few nights ago. I mean, what are the odds that she doesn’t also want to kill me in real life?"I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you, pretty," she said softly, her warm smile sending cold shivers down my spine. "I was just trying to greet you, dear."I stared blankly at her, my mouth dry, and nodded slowly, not bothering to speak. I

    CHAPTER 71SOPHIE Two days have passed since that terrifying night.Well, not just two days, but out of those two days, I'm only very excited today because I will be attending Vincenzo's family ball dinner banquet. I can’t wait to meet his family, and most importantly, his mother again. Last time she came by the penthouse, she was all jovial and nice; her aura is quite contagious, even if I hate to admit it.She doesn’t really look like what the media says about her. It’s nice o’clock this morning, and the first thing on our schedule is going to the salon to get my hair done. Vincenzo requested that she bring me home, but I declined. Staying here in this penthouse is just so frustrating and boring. I want to go out more with him so a lot of people can see us together. I don’t know how to explain it, but it feels important that people back off if they have any motive of shooting their shot at him.He isn't always here with me, and I can’t monitor everywhere he goes, but most of the ti

    CHAPTER 70SOPHIE The door creaked open, and a middle-aged woman walked in.Clad in a simple but shiny jumpsuit, with gold jewelry adorning her wrists and neck, she carried her Hermès bag with so much class. Her tattoos could be seen shining from a mile away.I froze in my steps as I watched her confidently walk inside the house. It was locked up with fingerprints and passwords, which meant she had either of them. We both stood, watching her walk up to the table; she dropped her bag and heaved a deep sigh of relief. Raising her gaze, only then did our eyes meet.“Oh my God?” She seemed a little surprised to see us. She chuckled. “I didn't know you were here.”Vincenzo sighed, approaching her. “Mum, what are you doing here?” he asked, and I almost gasped.That was his mother? Holy fuck!I didn’t know that; he had never shown me any of his family, so I wasn’t supposed to know, and they weren’t in the news either.“What do you mean by that?” she hissed, pushing past him. “Am I not suppo
