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 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!
Mark pov This isn't Sofia, this can't be my wife! What have the boys been teaching her all these while? For once she didn't look my way nor did she even ask who sent the girl to spy on her, just pure torture no questions no flicker of emotions in her expression only rage in her eyes. "Don't worry we will start now, the pain will eventually subside and so will my kindness for the likes of you" She hushed the girl as she wailed and begged. "I will tell you everything!" The girl screamed but my wife was already fixated on performing her surgery or whatever this is. "I'm not here to ask for anything, I just want to get rid of that ache in my broken heart and take my trust back. Who knows I might feel better after this" She shrugged and started stitching the arm she cut despite the girl's screams of agony she didn't stop and my feet were rooted to the spot as I watched. The panic of what was going on and also the feeling of denial, I must be dreaming, right? My wife hates seeing blo
Chapter 80Mark's Pov I had to go see it for myself and true to their words it was purchased by no other than my mother, it came as a huge shock to me and I wondered why my mother would do such a thing. After I dismissed them glad that this time they were useful I left for the basement, which was another torture ground for anyone caught in suspicious acts inside my home. It was hidden underground and soundproofed so my wife never knew of it not even Emily knew of it too, but I ordered one of the guards to bring Sofia in when she arrived home. I already called Enzo and he is currently on his way, the maid was bonded to a chair and she had passed out at some point. I don't usually torture women although I know better than to underestimate women like my father did, I still had a scar from when I was twenty years old and came across a female agent. She whipped my ass like a child and I have never felt so ashamed and powerless still I couldn't bring myself to fight her properly, my f
Chapter 79Mark's Pov I don't know why Sofia has been avoiding me since our conversation two days ago, I tried several times to talk to her but she used every opportunity to run away from me. I was always in my room working on my laptop when I received a phone call from Damian, just like Sofia wished I let her handle the business for now and added a lot of guards to follow her everywhere. She was only going to the warehouse to check on things with Damian's assistance, if they were to secure a shipment or make a transaction Damian and Enzo would handle it. I wasn't foolish enough to endanger her life even if she wished to be aware of everything, I don't want anyone to know about her or think she has any relations with my work. Most especially my rivals even my business partners I can't trust anyone, so I omitted some parts of the job to her because her request could cost me her life. She said she loved me, yet she didn't even bother to hear my reply, I'm certain she thinks I don'
Chapter 78Sofia's Pov "We went to the same high school and college before I dropped out, he also left before I dropped out. Anyways did I miss anything today?" I said before Damon could reply and Bruce started filling me the details of what I missed today. He is a real chatterbox unlike his cousin who wouldn't stop staring at me, Fabio might have noticed because he moved closer to stand behind me. This is definitely going to get to Mark but I should focus on now instead of thinking of what will happen later, we chatted for a while and Damon joined the conversation a few times. He left about an hour later and I felt like I could breathe when he finally left, "You shouldn't have invited him without my permission" I hissed at Bruce and he gave me a surprised look. "But I thought you guys talked about it, Did he send you a text or did you block him?" He whispered back at me. I furrowed my brows in confusion not getting what he was trying to say, "So you did block him, he told me ab
Chapter 77Sofia's Pov I escorted Mark to his room and he forced me to take a nap with him, I gave in because I didn't want him to start thinking of other creative ways of making me stay which I knew I might fall for. I woke up to find an empty bed and I sat up immediately but was relieved to find him smoking on the balcony, "Shit! You are awake" He put the cigarette on the ashtray. "I thought we talked about this, no smoking" I scolded leaving the bed. "I needed something to keep me occupied" He countered and I shook my head as I approached him, "How about I keep you occupied instead" I smirked and that got his attention. "And how do you intend to do that?" He asked but I only smirked instead of replying to his question. I went down on my knees and his eyes widened, "What? Do you not want me to do it?" I asked seeing the perplexed look on his face. "It's not necessary" He replied in a hoarse voice and I blinked in shock. "Why?" I felt ashamed of even thinking I could do this,
Chapter 75Mark's Pov My head banged against the stirring wheel as glass shards cut the skin on my face, and the car somersaulted twice rolling down the hill. The truck had stopped when the damage was done and by the time my car halted, I couldn't feel my arms but I knew I needed to leave this place as soon as possible because the rest chasing me with the sports car would come looking for me. The car was upside down and I managed to get out groaning as I felt pains all over my body. "Shit!" I cursed taking my pistol, I could hear yelling and running footsteps coming towards me so I stood up and ran into the woods. It will be better to find a way to save my head before I kill them, I limped away from the wreckage ignoring the pain in my right shoulder and my legs I ran. They were chasing me and judging from what I noticed it was seven of them, including the truck driver and whoever was with him. "Find him!" Someone barked and I hid behind a tree checking if I had enough bullets,

Chapter 74 Sofia's Pov I couldn't sleep and no matter how hard I tried I just ended up tossing and turning, I reached for my phone on my bedside checking if I had any recent notifications. Mark didn't even bother to call even if it was late at night, could it be that he thought I was asleep? I swiped to unlock my phone and dialed his number. "The number you are trying to call is unavailable, please leave a message after the beep" I frowned and hung up, this was the first time his voice went straight to voicemail, I called again but it was the same then I got worried. Is he okay? Did something happen? Was it the reason why his men were at his house today? I immediately called Damian, it's was 11 pm but I'm sure he might still be awake, and after the second ring he picked up. "Mrs-""Where are you right now?" I asked getting out of my bed, Rachelle would be sleeping in her room right now and maybe she won't notice me leaving. I just had a bad feeling about this and after heari
Chapter 73Mark's Pov There was nothing I hated not that incompetence, and right now I was irritated and livid. My hackers got a lead on the person sending me those texts and now they suddenly lost it! They came the signal was a glitch and I wanted to bury bullets in the heads so I could see if they were actually real or holograms. "You are telling me, we lost whoever it was in just three minutes? What the hell am I paying you for?" I barked at them. "I'm sorry boss, we are working on it" Damian apologized on their behalf knowing fully well I might shoot them if I hear the word 'sorry' from them when I have already heard them repeat the same pathetic words several times already. They got to work typing can't but I know it was futile, whoever this person is he or she is very good at hiding and it's pissing me off. Even worse Reid was out of the country for an ongoing investigation, so he was out of my reach I have to rely on these blockheads for now. My phone vibrated in my pock
