CHAPTER 5.

Sophia gave her reflection a final look in the mirror before grabbing her bag and leaving her room.

Dressed in a sleek black one-shoulder ruffle dress, she held a silver purse in her right hand as she walked to her car, her head held high.

She stepped into the driver’s seat, a little too discomforted. Something about this blind date felt wrong, but she was determined to go. This would be her way of proving a point to her father the next time he tried setting her up again.

Sophia adjusted the rearview mirror and studied her reflection. The sharp flick of her eyeliner highlighted her striking blue eyes, which seemed to pierce through the glass. She looked stunning—an undeniable beauty the world didn’t deserve.

Her ex had called her cold, accused her of being insensitive to a man’s touch. The words had stung, chipping away at her confidence. But now, looking at herself, she felt the strength returning. She tossed her hair back with practiced ease.

She was Sophia—a woman of power. She would get through this. And after tonight, she’d never have to endure another blind date again.

With a flick of her wrist, she reeved the car to life.

Her hands lightly gripped the steering wheel as the world blurred past her windows. The gentle hum of the engine blended with the music playing in the car, calming her nerves. She leaned back into the seat, letting the melody ease her mind.

But her thoughts betrayed her. Dante’s image forced its way into her head, pulling her back to the memory of the previous day. Her shoulders tensed, and her grip on the wheel tightened as she recalled the way his eyes lingered on her with something she could best describe as desire and —lust.

The way her body shamelessly responded to him. The way her pussy throbbed at the mare realization that he was staring at her with desire. The sudden erection that her nipples took left her cheeks burning with embarament. Thanks to the bra that concealed the erection of her nipples, something her expression could not hide.

The soft hunk from a car behind pulled Sophia out of her trance. She jolted from the sinful thoughts of Dante that were slowly becoming a routine in her life.

Sophia bit on her lips, trying to suppress the thoughts but the soft liquid that coated her thighs left her struck.

Sophia’s leg on the accelerator softened as realization downed on her. Whatever she was feeling down there was strange yet familiar. It was the feeling she had from being stared at by Dante’s deep lustful eyes.

Sophia refused to belive that the thoughts of him could stire something as serious as wetness—something her ex could not do.

Sophia batted her lashes trying to shatter the sinful thoughts of him. She reminded herself of what her concern should be— his health and how he was healing, but the reaction her body made could not be ignored.

Sophia longed for the end of the ride. The blind date, which she already despised, became her way to escape Dante’s unwelcome yet desired thoughts.

As the car slowed to a stop, she felt an overwhelming resentment. The thought of this date reminded her of the bitter truth—she didn’t have a responsible man who would love her genuinely. She hated that her father still forced her into situations like this.

Sophia stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut. Her hand gripped her purse tightly, though her movements remained composed. Her elegant dress and sharp black stilettos spoke volumes about her personality as she walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant’s all-black design was striking, but Sophia’s focus was elsewhere. Her sharp eyes scanned the room until they settled on a man sitting in the VIP section, his back turned to her.

He was punctual. She liked that. But Sophia knew one thing for certain—she wouldn’t like him.

She moved forward with measured steps, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. Heads turned, sensing the aura she carried as if she owned the space.

“Hello,” she greeted, her voice calm but commanding.

The man turned around, and Sophia froze. Her carefully composed smile disappeared faster than she could stop it.

“Baby,” Ryan said, standing to greet her. His tone was warm, almost pleading. “Thank God you’re here.”

He reached for her hand, but Sophia stepped back, her anger bubbling to the surface.

“What are you doing here?” she demanded, her voice sharp with rage. She pulled out her phone, double-checking the address.

“I’m here to see you,” he said, taking a step closer.

Sophia’s eyes flicked to her phone again. She was in the right place, the right section. The restaurant was reserved for them, but this wasn’t what she had agreed to.

“Why are you here?” she snapped, her glare cutting into him like daggers.

Ryan smiled faintly. “I came to see you.”

Her stomach twisted in disgust. Was this the man her father had arranged? No. Ryan was heartless, but he wasn’t like her father. Her father was a monster of a different breed—a mafia lord. Ryan, though cruel, was just a selfish man she had wasted two years of her life on.

She had questions, but none she wanted answers to. Turning on her heels, she made to leave, but Ryan grabbed her wrist.

“What?” she barked, glaring at him.

“Please, Sophia,” he said, his voice low and desperate. “I needed to see you. I had to talk to you… to ask for your forgiveness.”

His eyes were filled with what looked like regret, but Sophia refused to fall for it. She yanked her wrist away.

“We’re done, Ryan,” she spat. “You made that clear when you called me a nun.”

“I’m sorry,” he said again, his voice breaking as he reached for her.

“Don’t touch me!” she snapped, her pulse hammering in her chest. She glared at him, her rage burning brighter.

“Listen to me,” she said, pointing a finger in his face. “You and I are over. Do you understand? I don’t want to see you again.”

“I can’t,” Ryan said, stepping closer.

Sophia stepped back immediately, her eyes narrowing. “If you take one more step, I’ll call the police. Don’t test me.”

The word police froze him in place. He looked around, noticing the waitress watching them with suspicion. The last thing Ryan needed was a run-in with the law, not with the crimes he had buried in his past.

Sophia saw his hesitation and seized the moment. Without another word, she stormed out of the restaurant, her pulse pounding in her ears.

Sophia stilled, leaning against her car. Her hands gripped her forehead and she tried to block out his voice, his manipulative words, and the memory of their breakup as they echoed in her mind.

When she opened her eyes. An abrupt halt occurred in her actions as she took in the sight of Dante. Like a mystery that walked the night, he stood in front of her, dressed in a very tailored black suit with hands in his pocket — the suit a silhouette of the darkness he is, yet she saw him as the savior of the world.

Sophia stared around, and curiosity clogged her face.

“Where…”

“Who is the bastard?” Dante’ voice sliced through the air like the lethal edge of a blade.

Sophia’s body melted at the baritone of his voice, but she stared at Dante wondering who he was referring to.

“Which bastard?” Her voice quivered as she struggled to understand.

“The one that had you stumbling out with heavy breath.” The weight of his words were as heavy as the dread that filled his face.

Sophia swallowed, staring at the glass door that led to the restaurant.

“I… he is nothing.”

“I do not take that for an answer. Who is daring you?” The curuousity in his voice thickened as much as the anguish In it. He didn't have time to play whatever she was trying to play. His blood was boiling and he was barely masking it up. Whoever was daring his property needed to be taught a lesson by his blood-tasty self.

“My ex came in place for the blind date my father prepared for me, so…” Sophia's voice trailed off as he noticed the dreadful look that suddenly gripped his face.

That ex would be a goner for trying to win what is his and her father would pay for trying to give his property to someone else.

Dante turned with intension to rip the fucking restaurant out, because he would buy the restaurant in million different places if he wished.

“Don't.” Sophia countered, grabbing his wrist. His legs halted and he turned to her.

“Why?” His voice softened as much as the look on his face, almost tender.

“Why don't you want me to?”

Sophia stared around. She didn't want them to create a scene. Dante could get injured and she cared deeply about his wound.

Her eyes landed on his arm and she moved a hand, slowly against his arm, their gaze fixed together.

Dante’s jaws tightened at the action that sent a slithering warmth through his vein.

“I don't want you to get hurt.” Her voice came out in a whisper. The one he desired to hear her moan in.

“He is irrelevant.” She added and his jaws settled.

Sophia’s eyes lingered around his hard face. Yet a single gorgeousness did not go missing. There was something fishy about how he appeared to rescue her everytime. Was he stalking her? Those were the question in her mind but they were too direct.

“Do you save everyone like this?”

Dante’s awareness moved from the pleasure that the gentle trail of her finger surged through him. He raised his gaze to her beautiful face. Face that he would spray his cum on after getting his pleasure from her pussy.

“I do not save everyone. Just you.”

Sophia’s stomach churned and she stared at Dante with dried throat. Her eyes moved from his lust claded eyes to his plump tempting lips.

If a man as handsome as this protected her then he needed something from her, right?

“What do you want In turn from protecting me ?”

Dante stared at her for a seconds. Time passed with them staring into each other’s eyes. Slowly, Dante moved a hand to her chin, staring into her eyes like a predator to its prey.

He cradled her chin between his fingers.

“I want you. I want to own you. To make you mine and to give you the world.” Whatever held him from saying the last sentence he didn't know. But he want to sleep with his cock buried inside her and be want to wake up to being buried in her.

A spark in Sophia’s body illuminated and all words suddenly died down her throat. He spoke to her like a master to a submiss yet her pussy throbbed in approval to his every words.

    Sophia’s breath hitched, her pulse pounding in her ears as Dante’s words lingered between them, heavy and unyielding. His hand remained on her chin, his thumb grazing the corner of her trembling lips, daring her to respond. “You can’t just… just own someone,” she managed to say, though her voice wavered, betraying the storm she struggled to build. Dante’s lips curved into a slow, knowing smile, the predator fully aware of the effect he had on her. “Can’t I?” he murmured, his voice a low hum that sent shivers racing down her spine. “I don’t ask for what I can take.” Sophia’s knees weakened, but she squared her shoulders, refusing to let him see the complete control he had over her. “I’m not something you can take. I’m not a possession.” His eyes darkened, the swirling chaos within them drawing her in further. “Possession? No, Sophia. You’re much more than that. You’re everything. And when I say you’re mine, I mean I’ll protect you from anyone and anything that tries to harm you.”

    Walking back to her car was all Sophia needed to snap back to her senses.She stood at the front of the driver’s door, obstructing Dante’s way, yet her heart thrummed with the desire for him. “You can't go in.” Sophia countered, standing in Dante’s way. A gentle smile tugged at the corner of Dante’s lips and he leaned closer to Sophia, raising a finger to her cheeks. “Stop.” she countered, holding his hands in the air. For some seconds and more, the air stilled and Dante felt the sensual surge of ripples across his spine. He glanced at the spot where she held his hand and Sophia loosened her grip on his hand immediately. Dante glanced back at her face. “Why are you running?” His voice was low, almost tender and Sophia almost melted into it.“I am not running.” She denied looking away from him and trying to strengthen her quivering resolve. “You can not run away from me, Princess. You are mine… all mine.” He whispered the last part against her ear and Sophia felt her nipples hard

    Dante stood at the corner of his dimly lit office, leaning against the massive oak desk that had belonged to his late father. The air smelled faintly of cigar smoke and leather, the hallmarks of power and control. His bodyguard, Marco, stood at attention in front of him, a silent giant awaiting orders.Dante’s sharp eyes bore into Marco, his tone cold and clipped. “The shipment leaves the warehouse at midnight. You’ll escort it to the docks and oversee the handoff. No mistakes.”Marco nodded, his face impassive. “Understood, boss.”“This isn’t a standard shipment,” Dante continued, stepping closer. “We’re moving twenty two million euros’ worth of untraceable arms. It’s already stirred up interest. If anyone—police, rivals, anyone—tries to interfere, you know what to do. No witnesses. Clear?”“Crystal clear.”Dante studied him for a moment longer, his jaw tight. Satisfied, he dismissed Marco with a flick of his hand. The bodyguard left without another word, his heavy footsteps echoing

    Sophia sat at her desk, her pristine white doctor’s coat draped elegantly over her shoulders. The coat’s crisp fabric contrasted with the warm light filtering through the office’s tall windows. Her slender fingers moved deftly across the files before her, flipping through pages of patient reports and neatly organizing the documents into stacks.Her dark hair was tied back into a neat bun, though a few strands had escaped, framing her face as she worked with quiet determination. The soft hum of the hospital outside her office doors was a faint backdrop to her focused silence.Occasionally, Sophia paused, her sharp eyes scanning a particularly troubling chart her brow furrowing as she considered her next steps. She reached for a pen, her movements deliberate, and made quick, precise notes in the margins of the file.Despite the pile of work on her desk, Sophia exuded an air of calm authority. The coat was not just a uniform; it was a symbol of her dedication and the countless lives she

    Sophia exhaled, dropping the phone after the call had ended. She cleared her table, pulled her coat, hung it against her chair, and exited her office after getting a hold of her bag.“Doctor Sophia.” The administrative assistant, a tall slender lady in a white skirt tugged into a black pant, stood up immediately. “Are you heading out?”“Yes,” Sophia replied wearing a bright smile. “I have something to attend to at exactly this minute…” Her words trailed with a ground that gave room for further conversation as she glared at her wrist to watch and then back at her administrative assistant. “Is there a problem?” Concerned, her assistant inquired. “No,” Sophia replied almost immediately and flashed her assistant another smile, swallowing the guilt that squashed down her throat. “Cancel whatever appointment I have for today and reschedule tomorrow.” It was a curt order and Sophia didn't wait for her assistant reply before she stormed off, too guilty to wait for whatever reply was goin

    Sophia’s throat bulged, his words filling her with something…she snapped at the thoughts reminding herself that she was only here to take the bandage off and not flirt with him, even though her escape from denial was ill. She concluded that Dante was her patient and not her man. “My work here is done.” She replied hurriedly, turning to take her leave but Dante gripped her wrist before she could make it past an inch. Sophia stiffened. Her heart thrummed in rhythm to the pace of her jumping pulse. His touch burned through her skin like scorching fire, filling her inside with warmth. Sophia pulled her hands from his grasp, not facing him. Dante stared at her behind, his eyes moving against her hair which he already envisioned wrapping beautifully against his fist while he pounded her from behind. This lust was… urgh!!! “What do you want?” Sophia asked, struggling to keep her voice within the pitch that hid the desire she desired gravely. Dante moved further, closing the inch betwee

    The second the door closed behind her, Dante let out a sharp breath and moved back to the bed. A curse escaped his lips as he ran a hand through his hair. The tension in his body was unbearable—waiting until Saturday felt impossible. He needed release, to strip himself of the sinful urge to have her. Ordinarily, he would have called someone to take care of his need, but this time was different. His mind—and his body—craved only Sophia. No one else could ease the ache she’d left behind.Unable to endure the torment any longer, Dante decided to free himself from the unbearable tension. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he allowed his thoughts to drift to her—Sophia. Her voice, her touch, her very presence had left a mark on him that nothing else could erase.His hand moved to ease the ache, starting with slow, deliberate strokes. The tension began to unravel, but it wasn’t enough—nothing would truly satisfy him except her.Sophia’s image consumed his thoughts. No matter how he tried to f

    The tension in Dante’s chest was like a storm waiting to erupt. He had spent the past two nights restless, his mind consumed by thoughts of Sophia.

Her essence had seeped into his soul, leaving him yearning for her in a way he’d never felt before.Sophia wasn’t just a woman; she was a challenge—a fire he was determined to tame. He wanted her in every sense of the word. Not just in his bed but bound to him in ways she couldn’t escape. Saturday. Just a few more days. On Saturday, he would show her what it meant to belong to him.She thought she could resist him? Foolish. He would shatter her resolve, break through every wall she tried to put between them. He would make her see the futility of fighting. And when she finally surrendered, she would know what it meant to be his. Bare to his gaze, vulnerable to his touch, and marked as his in every way t

    Sophia stepped into her apartment, locking the door behind her with trembling hands. The moment she was inside, she let out a shaky breath, her body sagging against the door.She just wanted to be alone.Away from the world.Away from the cruel eyes watching her every move.Away from the endless whispers and accusations that clung to her like shadows.Her chest rose and fell as she tried to steady herself, but the lump in her throat refused to go away.Slowly, she made her way to the bathroom.Lately, it had become her only place of relieve. The one place where she could let herself break without fear.She turned on the shower, watching as the water streamed down like a thin curtain.Steam rose, filling the small space with warmth, but it did nothing to soothe the coldness in her heart.Without hesitation, she stepped in, letting the water pour down her body.At first, the sensation was comforting—the heat wrapping around her, offering her a false sense of security.But then, as the

    Sophia was on her way to work, gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly as she tried to focus on the road ahead. But no matter how hard she tried, her mind kept drifting back to everything she had fought so hard to bury. Maybe it was because Dante used to drop her off some mornings. She had gotten used to stepping outside and seeing him waiting for her, leaning casually against his car with that soft look in his eyes, as if she was the only thing that mattered. If she wasn’t with him, he would still be there sometimes, parked outside her apartment, his gaze full of warmth and patience.He used to pick her up too, like it was the most natural thing in the world. No matter how busy he was, no matter how many important things demanded his attention, he always made time for her. It had become a part of her life, a quiet but steady comfort.But now, there was only silence.The seat beside her was empty. The space that once held his presence, his quiet strength, now felt cold and u

Five long, agonizing days since he had last seen her, touched her, or heard her voice.Dante sat on the balcony of one of his many mansions, his body still but his mind in chaos. The cool night air brushed against his skin, but it did nothing to calm him. He held a glass of wine in one hand, slowly swirling the dark liquid, watching how the deep red color glistened under the soft glow of the moonlight.His thoughts were consumed by her—Sophia.He could still see her standing there, right where he was now. The memory of her was so vivid, it was as if she had just been there moments ago. He could almost hear the soft sound of her laughter, feel the warmth of her body against his when he had come up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her close.He closed his eyes, letting the memory wash over him.That night had been one of the rare moments when he had allowed himself to be vulnerable.

    Sophia stepped into her apartment, her entire body feeling weak, as if all the strength had drained out of her. The moment the door shut behind her, a heavy silence filled the space, wrapping around her like an invisible weight. Her chest felt tight, her throat burned— before she could stop herself, a sob broke free.She staggered to the couch, her legs barely holding her up. As soon as she reached it, she collapsed onto the cushions, burying her face in her hands. The tears came in uncontrollable waves, her shoulders shaking violently as she cried.It wasn’t just fear. It wasn’t just exhaustion. It was everything.The betrayal. The heartbreak. The helplessness.Her mind replayed every terrifying moment—Luca’s cruel smirk, his hands yanking her hair, the cold barrel of his gun pressed against her skin. She could still hear his voice whispering threats in her ear, still feel the suffocating fear that had gripped her when she thought she wouldn’t make it out alive.And then there was Da

    Dante drove straight to his mansion, his grip on the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles turned white. His jaw was clenched, his mind clouded with rage and frustration. The moment he pulled into the driveway, he didn’t waste a second. He stormed out of the car, slamming the door behind him, and headed straight for the dungeon.As he descended the cold, dark staircase, his boots echoed menacingly against the stone floor. The scent of blood and sweat filled the air, thick and suffocating. He got the dungeon and he saw that Martin had already carried out his orders. The five men he had assigned to protect Sophia were tied together against a metal pole, their heads hanging low, their bodies bruised and bloodied from the initial beating.But it wasn’t enough.Dante’s eyes darkened as he rolled up his sleeves, his muscles flexing with barely restrained fury. Without hesitation, he strode toward them, his breath heavy, his entire being vibrating with anger.“You useless pieces of shit,

    Sophia felt a small wave of relief rush through her as she saw Dante standing there, powerful and untouchable. She felt like she could breathe again.Luca could no longer hurt her.Dante wouldn’t let him.But even with that relief, a sharp pain still stabbed at her chest. Her mind was clouded with the cruel words she had overheard earlier—the words Dante had spoken.“Do whatever you want to do. I don’t care about her.”That sentence echoed in her head like a curse.Was that how he really felt?Had everything between them been a lie?She recalled how he used to say she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, how he undressed her with such tenderness, whispering sweet words against her skin. Every touch, every promise—were they all lies?Her heart ached with confusion, with betrayal.But there was no time to dwell on it now.Dante took slow, calculated steps toward her, his presence dominating the room. Before reaching her, he turned his head and gave Luca one final look.That lo

    “Oh, you’re threatening me?” Luca let out a dark, amused laugh. His eyes gleamed with twisted excitement as he pushed himself up from his chair. He began pacing back and forth like a caged predator, his voice rising with each word.“So you think you can scare me?” he sneered. “Your threats are empty, Dante. Completely useless. You’ll never find me. You’ll never see your woman again. And you already know you don’t want to mess with me.” His lips curled into a wicked grin as he taunted Dante. “Little thing,” he added mockingly, shaking his head as if Dante was nothing but a joke to him.Dante, however, remained eerily calm. His grip on the phone tightened slightly, but his voice stayed steady, cold, and lethal.“They’re not threats, Luca,” he said, his tone dangerously low. “It’s an order.”Luca stopped pacing, his smirk faltering for just a second.“Try me,” Dante continued, his voice dripping with authority. “Lay another finger on her, and you will see exactly what happens.”There was

    Luca’s voice dripped with mockery as he spoke. “I have your princess, no! sister-in-law right here with me.” He let out a low chuckle. “She really is beautiful. No wonder you’ve been hiding her from us. No wonder you refuse to do what must be done.”He paused, savoring the moment before continuing, his tone laced with venom. “The great Dante Gilmatro, the man who waited years—decades—to bring down Miguel De Luca, is now hesitating. You spent your whole life plotting revenge against the man who murdered our father, and yet, now that he’s right under your nose, you do nothing. Because of a woman, you’ve abandoned everything.”Luca sneered, watching Sophia’s reaction from the corner of his eye. “Tell me, brother, do you think she’ll still love you when she finds out the truth? That the man she adores, the man she trusts, is plotting to eliminate her father.He let his words hang in the air before delivering the final blow. “And we both know the truth, don’t we?

    Sophia’s mind felt like it was trapped in a thick, suffocating fog. A dull pounding echoed inside her skull, each throb reminding her that something was terribly wrong. Her limbs felt heavy, her body sluggish as if she had been pulled from the depths of unconsciousness too soon. She tried to move, but her muscles screamed in protest.The air around her smelled damp, mixed with something metallic—blood, perhaps? The coldness of the surface beneath her seeped into her skin, making her shiver. As her senses slowly returned, so did the memories. The road. The car. The sudden opening of the door. The rag pressed against her nose. And then—darkness.Her eyelids fluttered weakly before they finally opened.The first thing she saw were piercing eyes watching her.A man sat in front of her, his gaze fixed on her like a predator who had been patiently waiting for his prey to wake.
