She might have left

CHAPTER 4

VINCENZO.

My eyes widened in disbelief as her hands flew to my cheek.

I blinked rapidly, trying to process what had just happened.

No woman had ever dared to stand up to me, let alone get courage to slap me like that.

I turned to my favorite plaything. "You can leave now."

She quickly picked up her panties and hurried out.

"I see you enjoy mixing love with violence," I said, attempting to downplay her actions. The only reason she was still able to breathe in front of me was that I don’t hit women.

"Misogynist monster!" she sneered. "How could you make me watch that lewd display?"

"You wanted the money, so you'll have to learn how to play the game," I replied.

Her nostrils flared as she snapped back, "I quit then. I'm no longer interested. I'm leaving!"

I swiftly moved my hand to the wall, intentionally blocking her path. "You want to leave? You clearly didn’t read the contract my janitor gave you."

"You won't leave my estate until the deal is done. Your mother will continue receiving the best treatment as long as you fulfill your side of the bargain."

Her eyes began to glisten with tears, and she questioned, "What? Are you going to keep me here, away from my friends and family?"

"I know you're the devil!" she spat.

I chuckled darkly. "Is that how you see me?"

"Yes!" she shot back, stepping closer with newfound confidence. "You're just a manipulative maniac!"

I clenched my fists, gritting my teeth. She was really starting to irritate me. How dare she call me the devil? I had saved her from the monster who had treated her so poorly.

He had frozen her cards and nearly ruined her mother's hospital payments at a critical time, yet she still thought I was the villain, all because I wanted her.

"Let me go!" she sobbed. "I am not your prisoner, you psycho!"

"What do you want from me?" 

"I want you willingly!" I shouted, startling her. Instantly, I regretted raising my voice.

At that moment, she looked so fragile. I turned my back, quickly dressing before calling one of the maids to escort her back to her room.

I didn’t want her to feel like a prisoner. I revel in being dominant, but only when a woman gives herself to me willingly. Many might label me a sadist, but in truth, I'm a dominant who loves when they submit to me to please me.

.

.

Thirty minutes passed, yet her presence lingered in my thoughts. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that she had slapped me last night.

None of my girls have ever slapped me before. I caressed my beard, recalling how she had jerked off the chair and lunged at me. 

I usually thought I was in control, but feisty girls always turned me on the most.

The following day, I woke up at two o'clock in the morning from a terrifying nightmare. Well, nothing was new about having a nightmare by that time; it's just that it had been over three years since I last had that kind of nightmare in the middle of the night. I don't usually have such scary nightmares after one or two of my girls would have submitted themselves willingly to me.

I sighed deeply, forcing myself out of bed. I knew I wasn't going to sleep again. Who would have thought that Vincenzo Bianchi would be scared of nightmares when I killed men with my bare hands? My name rings a bell in the city, and everyone knows what I'm capable of. As the first and only son of my father, I inherited the mantle of power from him, despite him still being alive. Over the past few years, my father was the most feared Don in New York City and beyond, but now? It's my turn!

I didn't just blindly follow in his footsteps; I made sure to surpass them. I wasn't just molded to be strong and ruthless; being cold-blooded runs in the Bianchi family, and I just can't help it. Emotions are a weakness in the family, which is one reason why my parents' marriage is an open one.

My dad made his very first kill at thirteen, but I made my first one when I was just six years old. It wasn't necessarily a test phase as usual; I just got pissed at the playground and bullied my bully. However, surpassing my father and grandfathers was always my goal until the Morano crime family attacked my family on the night of my wedding day.

The name Morano wasn't usually heard after they pulled out of being the underboss in the Bianchi crime family, but after they murdered my fiancée, Alessia, in front of the altar, I haven't remained the same. They have also been on the run.

I'm more feared than my father, and they know I won't stop until I take revenge on them.

Alessia wasn't supposed to die that way. She had endured a lot from my family, who had always believed that a ruling mafia boss shouldn't be married—except if it was an open marriage. I was about to break that cycle until the Morano crime family barged into the hall and shot Alessia dead in front of everyone present.

I took out a stick of cigarette and lit it up in the middle of the night. That is the only thing that can console me right now. Since Alessia's death, I haven't been able to forget her. Well, I don't think I will ever forget her. I just have a coping mechanism of calming every girl that looks anything like her and have them take turns submitting to me every night, just at the time I might have the nightmare.

I still remember vividly how I held her body with trembling, gentle hands while I begged her to wake up and say, “I do.”

The Morano? Those bastards! I can't wait to get them and crush their bones with my hands. Seeing people writhe in agony makes me happy, and any Morano—be it a child, a woman—anyone from the Morano bloodline will not escape my wrath when I finally get my hands on them.

Puffing out smoke, I slid through my drawers and took out a rifle.

Maybe I should go have some shooting practice to release the pent-up frustration.

If only she had been obedient and submitted to me, I would be sound asleep right now.

Heaving a deep sigh, I shoved it away. It was just a dream. My chest felt tight, and a bead of sweat trickled down my face as I put the rifle back in the drawer.

Every night, these nightmares reminded me of my deepest insecurities and traumas, forcing me to confront how I had failed as a man, a boss, and Alessia’s husband.

A couple of hours later, it was already six o'clock, and I turned off the lights on my cigarettes and headed for the bathroom. I had a professional meeting with some political heads. I don't just run my family's drug shipments, clubs, or gang operations; my connections also extend into politics. That is the only way the police don't interfere with me in any way.

Afterward, I dressed in my tailored blue Burberry suit. I needed to be very professional and cover up my multitude of tattoos.

As I strutted outside and approached my garage, I paused in front of her room.

Hesitating for a moment, I finally grasped the handle. I wanted to ensure my “guest” was still intact.

Not that I was afraid she might escape; I knew she couldn’t get away from Vincenzo’s estate.

I gently pushed the door open, wearing a poker face. My eyes scanned the room, but there was no sign of her.

    CHAPTER 5 SOPHIEI still can't believe that he made me watch that lewd display. He is such a psychopath and sadist that I can't stand him. Since Leo and I moved to New York after our wedding, I have been hearing about the crazy things Vincenzo does, but what he did last night tops it all. How does he even manage to treat women in such a demeaning manner?Since last night, different thoughts have been filling my mind.I couldn't help but wonder if they were under a spell. The young lady from last night can't be in her right mind and let him do those things to her, right?I heaved a deep sigh as I pulled the curtains aside and noticed it was daybreak. I couldn't sleep a wink last night—not while I was in the house of a crazed psycho like Vin. I was awake all night, constantly checking my phone in case they had reconnected the network so I could call any of my family members. That was all I cared about.I have a deep feeling that my mother isn't in the right place. Since her illness, Leo

Mrs. Hills had put in a lot of effort for me,I can’t let her down.I went for it. I gently kissed his lips, closing my eyes and praying he wouldn't reject me this time. I needed to get this over with. Pressing my lips against his, he froze for a moment before letting go of all hesitation and reciprocating."Al... Alessia..." he breathed into my mouth before lifting me onto the bed. He tumbled back, landing beside me.Once he settled into place, I let out a deep breath and corrected him. “It’s Sophie.”“Did you do this on purpose?” he asked in a serious tone, spoiling the fun and d

I don't know any of my playthings' names. I just give them numbers based on who is my favorite at the moment. I've never inquired about their names—not once. If anyone should know their names, it’s probably Niko and Scott. They’re the ones who draft contracts for each of the women I stay with.I make sure they sign their respective contracts and NDAs to keep my reputation intact and to cover my tracks so my enemies can’t find any angles to attack me from.But with Sophie, she refused to submit to me, and yet—scary as it is—I still know her name?I mused to myself, shaking my head.

My brother, Zayn, was sleeping on my lap. He hugged me when I arrived and quickly asked me to buy him something to eat, which I did. Now he was asleep, while I patted him to rest since he has been the only one staying with our mother for the past few months.I carefully ran my hand through his curly brown hair as he slept on my lap. My chest swelled with happiness that I was back with my family. At least I could see them now, hold them now, and even have discussions with them. Zayn told me how Leo had come to the hospital and demanded that the doctor discharge our sick mother immediately. When he tried to talk to him, they ended up throwing fists, and he got arrested. He was later released by a good Samaritan whom I didn't get the chance to meet.I heaved a deep sigh, and my chest tightened. Leo i

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

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 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.

    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

I wanted to taste it in my mouth. I wanted to feel it inside me.I wanted my hands tied to the bed frame. I wanted my legs chained to the frame while he fucked me.Yes, that is what I want right now. Each of his kisses and his tongue tangling made my clit wet.He slowly let me down onto the bed, as if he were scared I would get injured.I sat up and lunged for his belt immediately, undoing it hastily, but he stopped me.“Do you really want this?” he asked worriedly, and I stylishly nodded my head.He let his trousers down, and his cock twitched in front of my face.A satisfying feeling filled me, and I trailed my tongue along the sides, looking at him to gauge his reaction.I slowly took it all into my mouth and then let it out again. I poured some saliva over it and gagged on it, deep-th

    CHAPTER 68VINCENZOI noticed Sophie hesitated to get out of the car and enter the penthouse. It seems she still believes a woman was watching her. Niko assured me that Kitty was nowhere near my penthouse last night; she visited her mother's husband down in Houston and couldn't return the same day. Sophie must be hallucinating. The dream she had must have been so vivid that it has left a lasting impact on her. I considered suggesting that I stay with her in the penthouse, but I didn't want it to seem like I was desperate. Truth be told, I am desperate for her since she came back into my life, but I need to hide that urge and maintain the appearance that I've changed in some ways. I've sent her flowers, taken her to dinner, and shared lunch with her. I plan to do even more if it helps win her back. “Don’t you think we should see a doctor?” I asked, concerned. She looked up at me, frowning. “You really think I’m losing my mind, right?” “Of course not!” I defended quickly, raising
