Chapter 38 Mark's Pov I called Damian again to ask if he visited my wife, but he said he was busy with other issues. "I went to visit yesterday and she was fine, she will be back by Monday same as you" He informed me and I breathed in a sigh of relief. I was shocked and worried when I heard she was rushed to the hospital again, and even when they told me she drank alcohol I denied for her saying she must have been poisoned or someone gave her to drink without her knowing. I mean my innocent little wife wouldn't do such a thing, she doesn't look like the type to get drunk and she is extremely smart and cautious. "Have you found out what happened while I was away?" I asked and he sighed. "I was right before..." "My wife doesn't drink alcohol, Damian! You were wrong find out who did it and I will deal with them when I get back" I interjected. "But Mrs. Carvajal already told me she did it herself, she said she felt overwhelmed and didn't know it would affect her condition,
Chapter 39 Sofia's Pov "Are you feeling alright now?" Mark asked for the umpteenth time, it's irritating and I hated that everyone thinks I'm fragile. "I'm fine" I gritted out annoyed with his constant questions, I knew he was joking about kissing me too but I almost fell for it. He was probably trying to make her jealous or something, I haven't seen Damian since the day I was rushed here. It has been three days and he is just calling me now? He didn't even bother to send someone over to come check up on me, I haven't seen the kids too and my brother is the only one coming to visit me. Not like I have anyone else again since I chased Damon away, I still haven't seen my useless father and I don't even want him here. "Are you still with me?" I heard his gruff voice ask and I exhaled. "If you don't mind we can talk some other time, I'm sure you are busy with work or something just call me later" I replied. "Don't shut me out like that Sofia, I thought we talked about this
Chapter 40 Sofia's Pov I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and I couldn't fathom the feeling, I was ecstatic and weirded out by the fact that I kissed my mafia husband last night. I can still feel his breath on my neck as he peppered kisses on my neck and chest, but he abruptly stopped and took a step back ordering me to run to my room instantly. I had never been so confused all my life and I obliged when I actually regained myself, I couldn't control my anger as I left hating the fact that I was turned on and ready to pounce on him. Putting the whole thing behind me I settled for pretending nothing like that ever happened, if he doesn't want me then I wouldn't force him. I took a shower and tried scrubbing my shame along with it, I couldn't stop reminiscing about our hot make-out session it's been so long that I had forgotten how to kiss and what it feels like to be kissed but it was as if he ignited something in me yesterday. After my bath, I went to check up
Chapter 41 Mark's Pov She looked so beautiful I couldn't help but steal glances at her, I was still upset with her comment earlier today but I was relieved to know why she seemed to be holding back and acting odd. "Where is this place we are going to?" She persisted. "You will see when we get there" I replied dryly and she nodded looking outside the window, her side profile was stunning and her brown hair went well with the blue gown. "Do you have any further questions?" I probed and she diverted her attention towards me, those bright brown eyes staring intently at me. "No. And I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I was just-" "Jealous?" I interrupted and her cheeks turned red, "No... That's not it, I was worried that you might get tired of me and throw me out of the house, after all, your mother doesn't approve of me because she thinks I'm too young to take care of the kids" She explained. If only she knew that I would never get tired of her, I don't know what c
Chapter 42 Sofia's Pov I never expected him to react this way when I confessed about my teenage fantasy, I have always thought he saw me as a child but now I'm convinced that he doesn't. I buried my fingers inside his dark hair and he moaned inside my mouth, I didn't want him to stop so reached for his jacket and helped him take it off. I pulled away catching my breath as he leaned in and started pouring kisses on my neck and I felt his hands grabbing my ass, then he suddenly paused. "What?" I asked noticing how tensed he was, "I shouldn't be doing this, I'm sorry" He apologized and I almost lost it. "You need to stop treating me like that" I glared at him furiously, "Like what?" He raised an eyebrow. "Like I'm a child! I'm twenty for crying out loud! You keep acting like I'm fifteen" I lashed out and his hand tightened on my waist. "You don't understand" He looked away hesitating and I have never been so curious, I wanted to know what was going on inside his head. "Make me u
Chapter 43 Sofia's Pov I stared at Damon blankly as he smiled at me, I secretly hoped Mark wasn't watching cause this might end up in chaos. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow at me, "I'm out with friends and what are you doing here? Are you here with your brother?" He asked looking around and I was tempted to say yes. But that would be complicated and he might want to meet up with my brother, "No I'm here with my husband" I replied and he looked stunned. "Oh- oh alright, I guess you have forgiven him for using your condition for publicity" He uttered and I rolled my eyes. "It's all in the past now and he had his reasons, I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day" I apologized. "No need, you had every right to be angry and I shouldn't have crossed the line" He dismissed but I knew I said some mean words to him the other day. "Do you realize we are holding the line?" I teased and he chuckled, I bought two clones of ice cream. One was strawber
Chapter 44 Sofia's Pov I was completely lost in a distant memory of my father yelling and that day my mom passed away, my vision was getting blurry and I felt a grip on my shoulder. "Sofia!" Someone shook my shoulders violently and I snapped it seeing the perplexed look on my husband's face, "Let's get you out of here" He said and brought out a gun from his suit, I wasn't shocked that he was carrying that around all these while after all the rumors about him being a mafia don are true. "You are going to make a run for the door on the count of three, now listen to me you run and don't look back until you get to the car" He ordered and I shook my head. "What about you? Come with me please" I pleaded but he took my hand. "At my count, you run okay? Don't worry about it I already sent for Damian and three other of my men are here, I will be fine just go without me I need to know who was behind this attack, they knew we were coming here today" He explained and I was so scared b
Chapter 45 Sofia's Pov I paced around the living room waiting and calling my husband but he didn't pick up, did something happen to him? He told me not to wait but I couldn't help it, I tried calling Damian and he picked up after the second ring. "Yes ma'am?" "Is my husband still with you? I have been trying to reach him but he isn't picking up, did something happen to him?" I panicked. "No, He is on his way home now he just left a few minutes ago" Damian explained and I sighed in relief then I heard footsteps behind me so I veered. There is was looking ruffled and drained with tousled hair and this was the first time I had seen him in a tank top, "Thank you, Damian, he is here already" I said and hung up while he just stood at the door watching me. "I told you not to wait up, are you that stubborn?" He tilted his head and smirked at me, seriously he was going to act like that after we were almost killed. "Did you catch them?" I asked as he walked towards me, "Yes, I h
Chapter 50Mark's Pov I received a call that one of my warehouses was also attacked all in one night, that wasn't the worst part they left a message for me. I rushed to my room to get dressed and left for my warehouse downtown, I didn't want to bother Sofia with the details it was better she stayed clueless. Emily used to say we are in this together but look at where she ended up all because of me, I don't want the same thing to happen to Sofia even if she is smart and can take care of herself I still needs to protect her. Getting to the warehouse some of my men who received the news had already rushed down there trying to keep the flames under control, I got out of the car and headed inside to have a look at things over there. "Boss" One of them greeted and I spotted Enzo among them, "Did any see anything?" I asked. "No boss, the guards here were killed before we came and many of them were injured, they left this gift box" Enzo handed it over to me and I opened it to find a sin
Chapter 49 Sofia's Pov We got home and a surprise was waiting for us, Damian was pacing with a pretty lady standing in our living room looking around. "What happened?" Mark asked and let go of my hand he was holding, the lady turned when she heard his voice and I was sure I had seen her somewhere before. "The shipment is gone, I don't know how they got the information about it but it was hijacked and all the goods are gone," Damian said with a sullen expression on his face, whatever they were talking about made my husband angry and his jaw clenched as he walked towards the minibar. He took a bottle of vodka and poured it into a glass cup, after taking a sip he flung the cup on the wall and it shattered into pieces sending shards of glass everywhere and I flinched in shock. "How the hell did this happen?!" He bellowed and I decided it was time to go check up on the kids, but I paused when I saw the lady staring at my husband with hearty eyes. "I swear I checked everything,
Chapter 48Sofia's Pov I was scrolling through my phone checking for the best colleges I could find, I needed one close to the house so I looked up the ones in town. Mark's car drove into the manor and I watched from the balcony as he got out of the car, he looked angry so I decided not to wave at him but the moment he turned his eyes caught mine and he arched his brows. I awkwardly waved with a small smile but he didn't return my gesture, he just ignored me and headed inside. Did I do something wrong? I asked myself, so I left for the kid's rooms and headed downstairs when I couldn't find them there. It wasn't a surprise that Carl was playing with them when I got downstairs, Mark wasn't in sight and I was starting to consider going to his room to ask what was going on. I didn't see any of the maids and Joey was sleeping in Carl's arms, "Did Mark say anything to you?" I asked my little brother and he shook his head negatively."No he only waved at me and left for his room" He r
Chapter 47 Mark's Pov I must have gone overboard after destroying three warehouses the Alabanians owned and destroying the wedding of the Italian capo's son, my message was loud and clear they should fuck with my family and they were wrong to think I had become sloppy since Emily's death. I intend to visit her tomorrow like I always do every month, I have so much to tell her about Sofia. Sometimes I feel like she is there listening whenever I visit her graveside, just like with Sofia our marriage was arranged but we fell in love shortly after. She was fierce and bold, I was drawn to her and I think Sofia is very similar to her. They both had this pure spirit and I feel like a monster compared to them, when Emily died she left a void no one could fill but Sofia came in with her warmth and lit up my dark world. "The shipment will arrive tonight, I will go with Enzo to secure it," Damian said sitting opposite me and I nodded still deep in thought. "Have you found a way to loca
Chapter 46Sofia's POV I woke up in my bed and I didn't remember how I got there but I think I passed out when Mark played with my clit again and tongue fucked me until I could no longer breathe. One of the best orgasms of my life and I will never forget it, except I was too weak to return the favor and I was exhausted before he could finish with me. I felt embarrassed about my inexperience, it made me look naive and immature. But I intend to fix that I don't mind going to his room without his consent to prove my point, I'm not a child or that young fickle girl he sees me for. I rolled out of the bed to take a shower then I put on jean shorts and a tube top I found from my old clothes before leaving my room. One thing I noticed last night was he held back on me, I might just have to seduce him to give in so he will start looking at me differently. The kids were still asleep and Carl was in their room too playing with Lois' toys, "Look at this cool train, it's freaking expensive!
