~~~ Pain. Ache. Sore. That was the only thing Sophia was feeling all over her body and her eyes snapped open. She tried to comprehend where she was as she stared up at the ceiling even though she couldn't see it because of the darkness clouding the whole room she laid on a bed in. Was she kidnapped again? Had she been taken away from that vile man? Her thoughts and little hope were squashed into the mud the moment the familiar scent of sandalwood wafted through her nostrils and a small sob escaped her lips at the realisation that she was still in Chase's captivity and bedroom after being fucked thoroughly. She had a vague memory of Chase claiming her body and drilling his length in her hole so many times she couldn't even take it and fell unconscious. Was that what her life had turned to? Was that how her life was going to get destroyed? She didn't want that type of life. She didn't want the type of life where the same man who murdered her parents would be the same person
~~~ SOPHIA AND LUCIANO both stood up at the same time, with Sophia flinching, thereby causing the glass of milk to fall from her hand on the floor and shattered into pieces. Looking at the way Chase clenched his jaw had Sophia trembling in fear and on instincts, she hid behind Luciano, clutching his shirt in her fists. That seemed to rile Chase more, and he stormed towards the both of them. Before he could pull Sophia from Luciano, the latter spoke up. "Non è quello che sembra, Don," {"It's not what it looks like, Don"} Chase roared. "Allora dimmi che cazzo è. Il suo palmo sulla tua guancia e tu che le tieni il polso. Dimmi!," {"Then tell me what the fuck it is. Her palm on your cheek and you holding her wrist. Tell me!"} Sophia flinched, too afraid to even peek at him. She could imagine how red Chase's face would look. Luciano replied in a calm manner. “Fidati di me, Don, non è quello che pensi.” He wasn't scared for what Chase would do to him. Rather, he was scared
~~~ An inaudible moan left her lips, and her eyes slowly fluttered open when she felt warm lips on her bare shoulders. Bare shoulders? She remembered sleeping off still clothed when Chase went to have a shower unless... No. No. No. No. N……. Sophia's eyes widened, and she tried to get up, but a warm, muscular arm held her waist down in a tight grip, and she knew instantly who it was. “I let you go scot-free after seeing you with Luciano even though I badly wanted to fuck you and drill it in you that you shouldn't go near any man, so, I’m having you now” Chase’s voice came from behind, and she shuddered. Sophia opened her mouth to speak. “Chase, you said –” She didn't get to complete her words because the next thing she knew, her legs were separated, and she felt his hard member in her. She threw her head back and clutched onto his arm that was wrapped around her waist, her nails digging into it. Just as he had done the first time, Chase didn't let her adjust to his size and buc
~~~ CHASE WALKED OUT of his car and stared at the large building of his mansion in front of him. The same building that housed the pretty, innocent teenager he had not seen for a whole week. He traveled out of the country for an emergency work and was finally back. He couldn't wait to see her. He couldn't wait to inhale the sweet scent of coconut on her and more, of her pretty little pussy. His Kitten. "Don," Chase turned to the man who had called him. "dov'è lei," {"Where is she?"} The man gave Chase an apologetic stare. He had been asked by Chase to watch over Sophia till he returned and made sure she was going to be by the door to welcome him home. He swallowed. “Non è a casa in questo momento.” {"She's not at home at the moment."} Chase narrowed his eyes at him. “Che cazzo vuoi dire con lei che non è a casa in questo momento? Doveva darmi il benvenuto a casa”{"What the fuck do you mean she is not at home at the moment? She was meant to welcome me home"} "Lei-,"The man's g
~~~Immediately he had walked in, the torture stopped, and the victim's loud screams turned into ragged breaths. Those ragged breaths emitted from the victim was the only sound that could be heard as silence stretched in the room. Chase's voice boomed through the whole room. "Partire," That one order was all it took for the man torturing the victim to bow his head in respect and leave. Just as he was instructed. {"Leave"} Chase didn't for one take his eyes off Álvaro . His white tee was torn at different places, blood staining it all over. "White doesn't suit you, Nipote", His uncle's words replayed in his mind. “Why do you think Fratello and I never wore it? You don't want to get stained with a sinner's blood, do you?", Chase dragged his eyes lazily over Álvaro 's whole body, taking note of each and every single injury on him. He had a few injuries on the face, and there was a streak of blood trailing from somewhere in his head. He had injuries on his arms, legs and other parts
~~~ SOPHIA WALKED DOWN the stairs, a light frown on her face as she walked towards the kitchen. She was still a bit upset about her short conversation with Chase from the previous night regarding her going to college. After she had told him she wanted to go to college, he had simply told her he didn't have time for any of her shenanigans and when she kept on insisting, he just scooped her into his arms, stole a kiss as usual and told her to go to sleep. That had been the end of the conversation. It was still very early, and she was happy Chase wasn't in the room when she had woken up. otherwise, he would have been a hindrance to her going to see Alvaro. Sophia peeked round to be sure no one was looking at her and made her way towards the servant's quarters as she left through the backdoor. She needed to see Álvaro. At least, his well-being would be able to sooth a tiny part of her heart and she would stop worrying about him. When she got to the servant's quarters, she stopped in f
~~~ Sophia turned and faced Valerie. "Hey Valerie," "Uh uh," Valerie shook her head. “It’s meant to be Val. You'll call me Val from now on, hmmm?” Sophia smiled and nodded her head. “How have you been? How was the program?” Valerie and Luciano had left the country for a week to attend a program and were probably just back. "Let's talk about that when you return from college. I was about to come in when I saw Lucas and a few men arranging some books for you. Said it was for college," "College?" Luciano's voice came from behind Sophia. "Valerie, I think that was supposed to be a surprise, and you just ruined it for Don," Valerie's eyes widened, and she palmed her mouth. She then dropped her hand to her sides. “But Don never surprises people. I didn't know” “Ma’am,” one of Chase's men walked up to them. He then faced Sophia. “Don has made special arrangements for you to be taken back to college. Everything you'll need is in the car right now. All we need is you to come with
~~~ SOPHIA SAT ON her seat, as her course mates walked into the classroom before lectures for that day would commence. Most of them were shocked to see her while some sent curious stares her way. Obviously, they would be shocked after not seeing her for weeks. But that was the least of her problems. She couldn't stop thinking about how Lucas had behaved with her. When he hugged her and said something in Italian, she was shocked. She couldn't believe he had hugged her. When she had gone out of her shock, she hugged him back to tell him thank you and that was when she realized that not everything was meant to last. He had pushed her away and was back to his normal, cruel self. And, he just walked away, leaving her a confused mess. “Buona fortuna sorellina,” Those were the same words he had uttered to her. She couldn't shake it off no matter how she tried. It was always with Chase she hoped she learnt to speak and understand Italian, but at that moment, it was worse. The need to
Alessandro turned to her with dark angry and stormy grey eyes. “It ended the moment I found you in the arms of another man that night," Valerie buried her face in her palms before letting out a sigh. "Fuck, Ale-," "Alessandro" He cut her in. "You'll call me Alessandro the same way my bosses do," "I'm more than a boss to you, Ale" She resisted the urge to go to the front seat and seat on his lap like she used to do. “We’re in love! You said you love me!" "You said the same but chose to cheat on me" Alessandro's fists were clenched at the sides as he remembered the taunting image of seeing the woman he loved in another man's arms. “You looked clearly in love with that bastard!" "Don't- don't call him a bastard. Nick isn't a bastard, "She said. "Great,” He mumbled under his breath. "Fucking great," "Listen to me, Ale" She whispered out before leaning in. "I-Nothing is going on between Nick and I, I swear. He-he used to be my friend a long time ago. We-," Alessandro cut her off wi
~~~ SOPHIA'S EYELIDS FLUTTERED open as the warm feeling of strong arms enveloped her body. She looked up, only to be met with the sight of a handsome sleeping Chase. Her eyes locked on his face and she couldn't pull away. She stared at the way his hair fell over his forehead giving him a boyish look, the way his long, thick and full lashes rested over his cheekbone had her staring in awe. The moment her eyes fell on his thin lips, the images of all the times when he used to kiss her flashes across her mind. How could someone so cruel, violent, and brutal look so peaceful while asleep? She tried to move away, but Chase's arms pinned her down tighter. "Morning, Gattina," Chase's eyes fluttered open. {"Kitten"} Sophia's stomach did a flip-flop. If she thought his voice was sexy, then his morning voice was much sexier and hoarse. "M-,"She placed her palms on his chest. “Morning," "Did you sleep well?” Chase slid one of his arms underneath his head while the other still rema
~~~ "Cosa vuol dire che non si trova da nessuna parte? Trovalo. Sarò al magazzino tra pochi minuti," {"What do you mean he's nowhere to be found? Find him. I’ll be at the warehouse in a few minutes."} Sophia's eyelids fluttered open at the familiar sound of Chase's voice, and she looked around her surroundings. They were all in a car with the driver driving and she was in Chase's arms. For how long had she slept after the doctor took her blood sample? She couldn't even remember how she even fell asleep. Chase looked towards the guard at the front passenger's seat. "Chiama la villa. Ho bisogno di un'altra macchina che mi porti subito al magazzino," {"Place a call to the mansion. I need another car to take me to the warehouse right away."} The man nodded. “su di esso, Don,” He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. When the person on the other end picked, he spoke. “Ti manderò la nostra posizione. Manda un'auto e i nostri uomini per scortare Don al magazzino," {"
~~~ SOPHIA SLID INTO the back passenger's seat and looked up at the guard that had opened the door for her. “Thanks” He said nothing. His Don never allowed any of them to talk to her unless necessary and in times like that returning her good gesture was unnecessary and uncalled for. He only kept his stoic expression on and shut the door. He went around the car to sit in the front passenger's seat while the driver roared the car engine to life. Sophia looked beside her and found Chase seated there, staring at her. "Hey" Chase nodded at her and plastered a grin on his face as he took in her whole appearance. “You look pretty as always,” She was dressed in a pink length summer dress with a round neck. Her hair was parked into a low ponytail, and she had no makeup on. Sophia blushed and looked down on her lap. “Thanks” “Come” Chase smiled at her, signaling to her to move closer with two of his fingers. “Come” Shyly, Sophia moved a bit close to him, but Chase had other plans.
~~~ Ever since that time, she hadn't been the same. Her nightmares had changed from that of her parents to similar ones she had earlier. Her cheeks were hollow, and she had thinned down. She abruptly stopped attending college. She preferred the safe confines of her room and her food was always taken to her in there. The only thing she was grateful for and happy about was that Chase hadn't showed up in front of her after that terrifying and traumatising night. Once when Valerie had gone to check up on her, she had told her that Chase flew out of the country for work and still wasn't back yet and Sometimes, Sophia even prayed for him to just die and never return. As Sophia's eyes landed on the covered skin below her shoulder blade, a loud voice at the back of her mind screamed at her to leave her hands at her sides and not uncover the skin to look at the scar, but her hands happened to develop a mind of their own. Sophia's hands reached up and one pulled down the shirt she was wear
~~~ Hey!!! As for the last chapter, I apologise in arrears to you all for not leaving a warning of physical and mental abuse, especially to those who may find it triggering and traumatising. I love you all❤️ ~~~ SOPHIA'S EYES SLOWLY opened, and she found herself in a dimly lit room, tied with a chain to a bedpost. She tried to struggle free, but the chains weren't budging one bit. She got tired, gave up and laid down back on the hard mattress as tears trailed down her cheeks. When she closed her eyes, all she saw was the bloodied bodies of her three friends, then the mental sting of the scar below her shoulder blade. "Soph," Her eyes snapped open and she sat up immediately when she heard a very familiar voice. Just that, it wasn't as cheerful and happy as it used to be. It was cold, laced with hatred and malice for no one but her. But then, the owner of the voice was meant to be dead, right? Sophia was sure she was dead. She had seen her body with her own eyes. She h
Chapter 39~~~{"Kitten"} "I-,"Sophia shook her head. “I’m not part of this world. I’m not a sinner," "Oh yes, you are!” He roared and pulled her on his lap, not letting go of her hair. “You were born into this world. Agosti was born into the mafia. Giovanni was born into this world. They both signed up for it," "No. You-you're lying. Mama and Papa worked as-they-papa worked in a bank. He told me so when I was little," A laugh rumbled off Chase's throat. “Bank? Poor little Sophia thinks her fucked up father works in a bank,” He laughed again, throwing his head back. Sophia only watched him in sheer horror. Once Chase was done laughing, he smiled at her. “Your papa never worked in a bank. He did the same thing I did. He killed people, raped women, trafficked people and drugs. He did much more worse than I've ever done," Sophia's lips parted. "You- ahhhh,” She screamed when she felt something hot with a pointed tip pressing against the skin below her shoulder blades. It was bu
Roman and Alecia’s parents. "Roman, who did this to you? What did you do to the Don?” His mum cried out. “Where-Where's your-,"Her remaining words turned into a low gasp when she saw the bodies hanging over the wall.” A-Alecia," Chase ignored the crying woman and stared at Roman dead in the eye. “Do you know your biggest mistake in this life? Wanting someone that was already taken was your biggest mistake and look what it has caused you. If you didn't eye my property or try to help her escape, I’m sure you would have been roaming around the streets of Italy freely. Your sister would have been alive. Her best friend would have been alive. You wouldn't have to be killed and your parents would not have to be buried alive," "Chase,” tears leaked profusely from Sophia's eyes. “Please no,” She shook her head. “Please don't do this. They-this. They are all innocent. Don’t drag them into this. Please," "No, Gattina,” Chase turned to her. “I swear we all wouldn't have been here if you didn
~~~Sophia froze, feeling blood rushing to her ears. It couldn't be true, right? "What - what are you saying? Where is he? Who did it? Maya? Alecia? Where are they? I- I -," Chase was standing in a corner, watching the drama unfold between Sophia and Roman. It made him even more angrier. Sophia wasn't even looking his way. Her whole attention was solely fixed on Roman. "He-Cha-,"Before Roman could complete his sentence, Chase’s fists connected with his face, and a gasp eluded Sophia's lips. He hadn't touched him since he walked into the room. He had only allowed one of his men to torture him and beat him up. He only wanted to do it when Sophia was awake. "Cha-chase,” Sophia called out. Chase didn't turn to look at her, he only stared down at Roman. He snapped his fingers at one of his men standing in the room, and another bulb was illuminated in another corner of the room. Sophia's eyes fell on the particular spot where the light was switched on, and a louder gasp left her lips
