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 had 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 I 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 h
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. On
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, "
Chapter 46 Sofia'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 expens
EPILOGUE AUTHOR'S POVSofia was dressed in a white flowing gown and held the bouquet in her hand tightly as she waited with her friends outside the door. "Do you think it's pretty?" She turned to the girls who smiled at her. "You look perfect honey, breathtaking. Mark will want to speed up the process and take you home if he sees you" Petra divulged and she beamed when the others nodded in agreement"Thank you" She mumbled, just then the door opened and a melodious tone was played as she walked down the aisle. They had wanted to renew their vows and have a proper wedding unlike the one they had before, this time it was just friends and family. Her father was in the front row dressed in a decent suit along with her little brother who she winked at, she saw her husband waiting for her at the altar in his ridiculous outfit. Mark felt as if the world stopped as she walked toward him, he stood at the altar waiting for his wife. 'His stunning wife' He thought. She got to him and he
Sofia's Pov My head ached and my vision was still a bit blurry, I recollected how I got here, the familiar antiseptic smell was all I needed to know I was at the hospital. I had cut the rope and ran to Mark. I fainted after that, I was exhausted and weirdly hungry to the extent I couldn't think of anything else. Even now I was starving. It's stupid that I had been kidnapped and I survived only to be thinking about food, the nurse setting the IV drip smiled at me before leaving. I wanted to ask if my husband was outside but I didn't get the chance to speak before he barged in with the doctor following from behind. He rushed to my side and threw his arms around me, I chuckled and hugged him back. I understand why he was like this, he had lost Emily before so this must be hard for him. I felt so ashamed for being the reason this whole thing happened. "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you. I should have believed you" I sobbed and he pulled away cupping my chin he looked into
Mark's Pov My blood boiled as Marcel confessed about everything, they were responsible for the death of Emily. They were the reason my kids were motherless, why Joey had to start drinking milk and eating food when she was supposed to have a mother to feed her. She claimed it was supposed to be a scare but Damon made a mistake, the thugs he sent overdid it and that was why she died. I almost killed her if not for Enzo holding me back, now they have Sofia. I couldn't imagine what she was going through now, "Tell me all your hideouts" I ordered and Enzo had to turn on the chainsaw putting it close to her throat before she started spitting out the information we needed. First, we went to an abandoned warehouse but they weren't there so she said to try the underground, and if they aren't there then we will try each of their houses. I let her talk and stayed quiet because I was trying so hard not to snap her neck, "Boss, we got a lead, they are car tracks. I think they are here" Dami
Sofia's Pov "This isn't what we said we were doing to do" Harry blocked the way with his body and I blinked my eyes opened.What is he doing? "Didn't you hear? They caught her, imagine what she is going through right now, we can't just hand her over without doing something to her too" Damon countered fiercely and I noticed Judy had stopped typing and was watching them. "You can't just assume that-""Are you still in character? Should I call you Bruce? Do you feel sorry for her?" Damon asked with a wolfish grin. "What the fuck are you talking about? You were the one who insisted I played that part, don't try to act like you don't feel shut for her too. I know you and Marcel aren't that serious" Harry fired back and Damon scowled. "That's enough guys, Damon get your shit together! And Harry let him do whatever he wants" Judy said. "No. He shouldn't touch her, he told me he wasn't going to do anything to her" Harry insisted. "Are you kidding? Fine. Then if you want to do the honor
Sofia's Pov I'm tired physically and emotionally exhausted. I felt like I would pass out if I didn't lean on something, but there was nothing to lean on, no one to lean on. I didn't let it bother me as I was pushed and dragged down the stairs, I should stop thinking anyone was coming to save me when it was just wishful thinking. "Hold her, she didn't eat anything this morning she might pass out," Damon said and the female chuckled. "And who's fault is that?" She asked her voice laced with amusement. It was amusing to her, that I was like this. I guess I look like a clown with just one shoe on and sweaty dirty clothes. "I knew she heard me last night when Harry called, didn't want her to run away so I gave her the coffee first. Besides it's none of my business if she faints" He replied. "Exactly what I was going to say, I think Judy has gone soft because it's a girl," Bruce said from behind me and I gulped. It. That was what he called me. We got to a different place I could
Sofia's Pov My head ached like I had been run over by a truck or a train, the pain all over my body was almost unbearable and my vision was blurry. No. I couldn't see because there was something covering my eyes, a bag perhaps or something else. After all, it was dark and I could feel a weight on my shoulder. My stomach grumbled and felt too heavy for me I started regretting not eating before drinking the damn coffee, there were all drugged but at least I could have eaten instead of taking caffeine. I don't even drink coffee but I was too scared to reject it. I'm so stupid, so dumb!Now that I think of it I was so foolish to have thought Damon had good intentions towards me, he dated me for a while and when we finally had sex it didn't take him a week to disappear before he left the country. I had thought my ex was remorseful and wanted to help me only to be disappointed again, I'm always the one who gets shamed and cheated on. It's pathetic and I wish I had just let that taxi
Mark pov "She didn't fall for him like we thought she would, she defended you whenever Damon tried to make her see that you weren't good for her. I had to retrace my steps and started acting like a decent secretary, and then you left the company in my hands I just knew that I had found my way in, your mother also made things easy for me since she hated her daughter-in-law so much, Bruce also helped us pull Damon closer and when he left, she had to rely on Damon after she found out you were cheating. She was watched almost every time and that day I selected the cafe close to the company, I knew she was at the restaurant opposite us. That was why I pretended to trip and you caught me, I made sure she saw that and that was the beginning of her doubt, Damon thought maybe after getting her drunk he could get more information from her but her guards disrupted. That was why we sent our sniper after them" She enunciated. "How many people are in your team?" I asked. "Just four, Damon is the
Mark's Pov I felt exhausted, soaked with sweat and blood dripping down my hands. Marcel refused to break, I was furious and frustrated I had to tell Enzo to join Yumi. She still refused to bulge so I joined them, it was against everything I stand for but I needed to know where my wife was and who she was with. Her friends had told me she didn't come to them and I had my men searching for her, I called Reid to help me hack into the street's cameras and we still hadn't found out where she was going after she entered a taxi. My wife looked broken and I almost killed Damian for missing her because he came searching just after she left, I knew better than to blame him when I was the cause of this whole thing. I wanted her right in front of me so I could ask her to forgive me even if it meant going down on my knees, I won't hesitate to do that if it means she will forgive me. I don't want us to divorce, hell, I never even thought of that but I pretended to go with it. I keep acting l
Sofia's Pov I walked not minding the cold I just needed to leave and not come back, the tears flowed freely down my chin as I recalled how he replied to me with that dismissive tone he used for his men. Like I was just sprouting nonsense and nothing I said mattered, I spotted a taxi and flagged it over but he didn't drive towards me instead going to the other direction. I don't know why I feel this way, he doesn't deserve my tears and I shouldn't be crying when he is probably having a good time with Marcel. Damon offered to come get me but I didn't want him to stress himself over me, I told him to send me his location and he sent me his address. Now dressed in a light-free knee-length gown with thin straps, I felt vulnerable wondering if walking at night like this was a good idea. I might still be in his territory but I can't be too sure that I'm safe, the glimmers of light from the street lamps were my only source of light as my shadow darkened behind me while the light bright
