Chapter 51Sofia's Pov I waited for Mark until midnight and I got worried when I couldn't reach him, I decided to call Damian even if I promised I couldn't exactly sit back when I couldn't find him. I called him sixteen times and it's unlike him not to pick up my call, "Hello Damian? Is Mark okay?" I asked. "Come outside" Mark's voice sounded gravelly and pissed. I was taken aback and wondered why he was picking up Damian's call, will I get into trouble for this? I thought as he hung up without saying anything else. I rushed out of the house and was stunned to see many cars parked in front of our house, and on the other side of the manor, I saw someone standing in front of the building. I never asked him what these buildings are for but I think the security guards and maids stay in those buildings, "Over here!" Someone yelled drawing my attention and I saw Damian waving at me. When did these cars come in and I didn't notice? I was too deep in my thoughts to notice. I looked at
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
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'
Chapter 54 Mark'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
Chapter 55 Sofia's Pov (Few hours ago) I lifted my gaze to see a brunette with short hair and big blue eyes, she gasped staring at the damage she had done. Great! That's just how I imagined my first day to turn out, I sighed wiping the droplets off my face, and thank God my mascara was waterproof. "I'm terribly sorry" She pleaded and rushed to my side, this had already gathered a small group of people and they were pointing out the designers I was wearing. I hate being the center of attention so I stopped her, "It's fine I can just go home and change but I will be late to meet up with the chancellor, it's fine I can handle it" I waved off but she held me back. "Please at least let me make it up to you, I can pay for your new dress" She offered. "Don't bother, just forget about it" I opened the door and was surprised to see my bodyguards standing there, everyone was staring now. "Is everything okay Mrs Carvajal?" Rio asked and my eyes widened. No! "Oh my God! Did you h
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 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 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
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
