Chapter 27 Sofia's Pov I was able to manage to get to the bathroom and I recalled asking one of the maids to get me painkillers the other day, I reached for the shelves and opened it taking the bottle of pills. I dry swallowed two pills and leaned on the wall waiting for the pain to subside first before moving, after twenty minutes I was sweating profusely but the pain was getting less and I was able to stand up straight. This isn't cramps and I have no idea of what is going on with me, it's as if my insides were being shredded and sewed back together, I decided to put it behind me for now I need to get my shit together and dress up before his mother arrival. I remembered what they did to me that day and sighed, the pain stopped and I straightened my posture. I can do this and whatever his mother says today I will just ignore her and apologize for the humiliation I was causing, I know she wouldn't fall to rub it in my face that I'm unfit for her perfect son and grandchild
Chapter 28 Mark's Pov Sofia's scream made my men pause and I held my hand out for them to stop, she looked so pale I walked over to her side and she lifted her gaze. Her whole body was trembling and she was on the verge of crying, "You want me to let her live?" I asked and she nodded as tears streamed down her pretty face, I reached out and wiped the tears with my thumb. I hate seeing her cry and to think I'm the cause of her tears made me feel guilty, I forgot she was too fragile and what happened at our wedding must have traumatized her, and she isn't a fan of violence from what I noticed, "But she humiliated you and she refused to apologize at you" I reminded her in case she forgot how they treated her at the party. "But you can't just kill someone because of that, she's your cousin, right? I will be fine" She said in a low voice, and I didn't think before pulling her into my arms. She was still shaking and I patted her back until she relaxed in my arms, I turned to face
Chapter 29 Sofia Pov I smiled as he walked out of the house it was a relief that he didn't kill anyone because of me, his family would have hated me forever and his mother would have made it her life purpose to throw me out of the house. I headed for the kid's room and Joey was fast asleep while Lois was playing with his toys as usual, I exhaled in relief they would have heard the gunshot and I kind of didn't want them to see their father like that, after all, they are still kids and it might affect them. Protecting Carl from my abusive father has made me realize how important it is to keep kids out of any violent environment, it's my job to shield them from these things as their mother. I went downstairs for breakfast and took my phone along with me, I found out I wasn't trending as much as before and most of the articles were deleted. But that doesn't solve anything because people would know that my husband is responsible for it, I need to do something and Mark didn't men
Chapter 30 Mark's Pov I had never been so scared as I was when I got here and the doctor recommended we do the surgery, and I was shocked how can she have fibroid at such a young age. It must have been hard for her and her mother died when she was still a teenager, then her father is the most stupid shitty father I have ever seen. I should kill that sick fuck for neglecting his children like this, she might have noticed the changes in her body but she was too busy taking care of the family. I called him yesterday but he didn't pick up, I already sent one of my men to pay him a visit and I found out he wasn't staying at his house and he only came to change his clothes. That man will soon be in jail for the amount of debts he owes at the casino, he doesn't even pay attention to his son at home although I made sure the little boy was alright he still lacks a parent figure. Sofia filled the gap and now that she is gone, he is all alone. I called Damian before heading to her
Chapter 31 Sofia Pov I just stare at where he was sitting a couple of minutes ago, I miss him and I wish I could tell him not to leave but I was too scared to even say it. It's funny how I went from being terrified to hating then to liking him, "What am I even doing?" I asked out loud. He is not over his wife yet and I'm merely a girl who he was forced to get married to because of his kids, it's been two days and I can't move my body without feeling pains in my abdomen. A nurse walked in and I wanted to sit up but the sharp pain made me pause, "Crap!" I snapped in frustration. "Just relax Mrs. Carvajal, you don't want to reopen your stitches, I'm here to ask some questions" She proposed and I nodded in agreement, it's not as if I can tell her to go because I'm pissed about not being able to move. "Yeah sure" I gritted out and she smiled. "Alright! How do you feel now?" She asked holding a pen and notepad, it's such a random annoying question. "Like shit" I responded
Chapter 32 Sofia's Pov I watched my so-called father fumble with the chair beside my bedside, I felt a hand on my shoulder and sighed. "Your husband told me what happened to you, I wanted to come see how you were doing, how are you feeling?" He asked. "Better than before" I replied coldly because I'm not really used to seeing him trying to care, I'm pretty sure Mark has something to do with his sudden visit. "I was told your little brother came to visit you, I'm sorry for not coming as soon as I heard" He claimed but I was done listening to his bullshits. "Are you done?" I demanded. "What?" He blinked. "Are you done acting like you care? Or are all casinos closed for the year? Or are you shut on cash huh? You want me to leave this bed and get you some money?" I sniffed and Mark's hand tightened on my shoulder then I recalled that he was beside me. "No Sofie I-" "Don't you dare! Don't even say that name you have no right to even call my name, the only family I have i
Chapter 33 Mark Pov I was fuming in anger as I watched the live news from my phone, I was still at home when I received a phone call from Damian and he told me the new secretary found a solution to the scandal but he didn't tell me it had anything to do with Sofia's condition in the news. I wasn't surprised to see reporters outside my company when the driver parked the car, I got out of the car and they rushed towards me like ants do with sugar. My guards flew into action pushing them out of the way before they even got to me, but the press will always be the press so they fought and yelled. "Why are you here isn't your wife at the hospital?" "Mr Carvajal, is it true you value your business more than your wife's well-being?" That's bullshits and I'm only here today because I have a lot of documents that needs my attention, I was planning on staying for a few minutes before going to the hospital. Joey has been acting weird lately so I called the doctor to come check up o
Chapter 34 Sofia's Pov These past few weeks at the hospital were all about drugs and care, I felt like a child learning how to walk again. Surprisingly my husband has been a regular visitor here sometimes he comes with the kids and I pretty much ignore him when he comes alone, I honestly have nothing to say to him except cruel words. It's finally time for me to get discharged from the hospital, Mark was the one to come pick me up. "Aren't you busy or something? Why isn't Damian here instead?" I asked out of curiosity. "Damian is busy, and he is not your husband" He replied coldly. "Forgive me for acting like I care" I rolled my eyes and looked away from him, he sighed as the doctor came in for one last checkup to see if I was free to go. "That's it, Mrs. Carvajal, just make sure she is taking a lot of rest and not straining herself, we think there might be a possibility for her to get sick again even after the surgery, we will advise she doesn't conceive for now, due to
Chapter 61Sofia's Pov After Mark finished eating me out on his desk I decided to let him work, I went to clean up in the bathroom at his office. A neat clean space and a nice bathtub but I wanted to use the jacuzzi. "Why do you even have everything at your office? You still keep your clothes here too" I scoffed, it's not like he stays here or anything I don't get why he has these things here. "Sometimes I change my clothes depending on the meeting Bonita, and I use the bathroom too" He replied. I stepped into the automatic shower and it rained down on my naked body, the water was too warm so I switched to cold. I gasped as I felt hands wrapped around me from behind, "Don't you have work?" I sighed. "I do but the thought of you having a bath in my office turns me on, and you don't know how much I fantasized about you here while jerking off, your soft moans and the way you beg me to keep going and stop at the same time" He whispered into my ear. He grabbed my breast with both h
Chapter 60Mark's PovI'm losing my mind! My wife is missing and her phone isn't going through. "Boss I just called Dallas and he said they are sleeping over, and he also said she told you about it," Damian said and I sighed. She is still mad at me, and she doesn't want to see me. What am I supposed to do now? "This is Reid's fucking fault, I told him my wife isn't capable of such a thing, the asshole made me ask her" I groaned. "You should have listened to him, I wouldn't even believe it if you told me your wife isn't that kind of person," Damian remarked and I was so pissed and tired. "What are you going to do to the traitor?" He asked. "I will take care of him tomorrow morning, for now, I need to sleep" I hung up on him even though I knew sleep would be hard tonight, I didn't have her beside me and I promised I wouldn't be smoking again. "Fuck this, she could have at least told me" I sighed rubbing my face with my hands, I miss having her petite figure on my bed wrapped ar
Chapter 59Sofia's Pov He rushed after me and caught my hand before I got into the car, "They are just substitutes and they will be out of your sight if that is what you want" Mark said. "That is not what I want, you didn't bother to tell me about it. You always do this and it's as if I don't have a say in my own life, and I'm so tired of people making discussions for me every time if you are going to be any different then I guess I was wrong about you" I yanked my hand from his group, my bodyguards had moved away from the car the moment they noticed we were arguing but it was still embarrassing to be having a dispute in front of them not to mention Lois who just started at us in confusion."This is my problem with you why are you being dramatic when you could have just talked to me about it, how am I supposed to know you have an interest in these things when you couldn't even look at me when your driver died" He emphasized, he always thinks he is right and everyone else is wrong.
Chapter 58Sofia's Pov Mark's mother continued her verbal assaults but I was too worried about the look on my husband's face when he walked back inside after making a phone call outside, I patted Lois and dropped him on the floor so he could go play with his toys. "If you are done, you know what to do" I smirked at her indicating she leaves when she's done blabbing, her face turned red and she stood up. "Don't you dare say that to me! You have no right to chase me out of my son's house" She said angrily and I rolled my eyes at her dramatic behavior. "I wasn't chasing you, I was just reminding you because you said I didn't have the right to lay claim on your son. But of course I'm the one staying here not you, I'm the one he accepted and I'm the one in charge here. I respect you as his mother but I do not respect that you use every opportunity to belittle me, I honestly do not care if you like me or not, that's your concern" I replied and walked away heading for my room. I did man
Chapter 57Mark's Pov I knew it was hard for her but I couldn't bear with her when she turned the whole thing against me, I will do anything to keep her safe, and if she thinks I'm the devil for wanting to keep her safe then so be it. I left for my room and called Damian, we were looking for whoever was responsible for my wife's incident, it was a bold move and very calculated too like an inside job. They knew that I was vulnerable at the moment and used the opportunity to strike, all my men swore their fealty to me and most of them, I gave a second chance to live just as I did with her driver. Speaking of which I have to find another one, this time her bodyguards are going to be in the same car with her. I hate that idea but I can't possibly be thinking about anything but what will keep her safe, Damian went to pick Lois up from school and Joey was fast asleep upstairs. My wife is pissed at me so it's better I give her some space for now, after all, I'm the cause of whatever the
Chapter 56 Sofia's Pov I stayed quiet at the back of the car as Dallas drove me back to school, he was speaking to Mark on the phone but I was too lost in thought. Rio and Fabio stayed back to get rid of the damage while Mark ordered Dallas to take me back, "Mrs Carvajal?" Dallas called and I turned to look at him. "Are you alright?" He narrowed his brows at whatever haunted expression he saw on my face, I nodded before focusing back outside the window. I wished I stayed back at school this wouldn't have happened, and that man would still be alive. It's all because of me. Did I fail to realize that as the wife of a Carvajal, I'm most likely to become a target, and for what purpose? I don't need these bodyguards if they are all going to die that way because of me, "The boss said he will pick you up after you are done" He enunciated. Again I was unable to take my mind off the incident, it's just my first day what will happen from now on? Is everything going to be the same? We g
Chapter 54Mark's Pov I was in my office going through some documents when I got a phone call from Enzo, I told him to release Damian not because of my wife's request but because I need a helping hand with everything going on. I sent for him to come to the company, Marcel knocked on the door before walking in, and she brought documents for me to check out. These past few weeks she has been in charge and she's surprisingly good at what she does. I noticed that she was wearing a long skirt with a very wide slit, I thought I warned her to stop dressing like that. "Sir these are the documents you asked for" She bowed and dropped them on my desk, "You can leave now" I dismissed but she lingered and I raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you have anything else to say?" I asked the aggravating woman and she shook her head and then proceeded to pivot around my desk, making me wonder where she got the audacity to even come close to me. "I noticed you look very tired so I wanted to help" I fel
Chapter 53 Sofia's Pov The last few weeks have been great and Mark was recovering while fucking me with any chance he gets, my brother already left and today is my first day at college. I'm excited and also very nervous, my husband was even worse he wore this expression of disapproval when I was dressing up. "It's a jumpsuit I can't wear I skirt on top, stop being such an old man" I shook my head and continued applying mascara, I had changed my clothes for the fifth time and I think he wanted me to wear a maternity dress instead. "Your ass looks great in this what if those little boys stares at you" He complained and I scoffed. I was wearing a black jumpsuit sleeveless jumpsuit which can also be mistaken for separate clothing because the bottom looked like trousers, I wore gold earrings and a bracelet. "I don't care about them, plus I'm married to you" I interjected and he hummed from behind me then lifted my hair out of the way as he helped me out with my necklace. "I'm sorry
Chapter 52Sofia's Pov A moan escaped my lips as he slipped his fingers into my jeans finding my clit, he pushed my lace panties aside and slide two fingers inside me. "For someone who is opposed to this you are soaking wet" He whispered into my ears and I tugged his hair. "I hate you" I breathed gasping as he adds another finger, "But your pussy says otherwise" He teased and fastened his pace until I came undone. I thought that was it, but he lifted me off him and made me sit on the bed, then he left to go lock the door and veered with a sly smirk playing on his lips. "Mark stop staining yourself" I scolded after catching my breath, he ignored me unbuckling his belt my eyes widened as he put it around my neck and tightened it. He yanked my jeans down taking it off me and I was so blinded by lust that I helped take off my shirt. Now standing half naked in front of him while he stared at my body, I felt exposed and uncertainty settled in the pit of my stomach, I forgot he was ex
