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 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 62 Sofia's Pov We left after spending some time together at the office and on our way out we came across Damian, he was holding a shopping bag and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who he was going to give that to. However, my husband had no idea so he asked him. "What are you doing with that? Do you need to change?" Mark arched his brows, I hoped Damian wouldn't snitch on me but he did. "Um there was a little misunderstanding between Mrs Carvajal and Marcel, her clothes were ruined so I thought of buying her a new one," Damian said thoughtfully. The jerk thinks he has a savior complex. "A little misunderstanding you say... Why didn't you tell me about it, Bonita? And why is Marcel's clothes ruined?" Mark turned to me and I linked my arm around his pouting."I cut it, she was dressed like a slut I'm sure Damian was enjoying the view too that's why he is acting like a hero, perhaps she would thank you I'm her knees" I forced a sweet smile at him and he cleared his th
Chapter 63Mark's Pov She hung up and I sighed bringer keeping my phone aside, I don't know why I felt like she wasn't happy about what happened today. "Do you think I'm overbearing?" I asked Damian as we watched the footage from the mall's camera, he managed to bribe someone to give us access to the mall's security cameras and we hacked it so I could watch from my office. "I'm not sure, but you are quite controlling which is normal for you but I don't think your wife will like that" He replied. Of course, he knows she's the reason why we are having this conversation, "Why do you think she will hate that?" "Because all women do and she's still very young, it will be hard for her to adjust to it but it will remind her of her past. We both know she didn't have a normal childhood and that made her a bit too mature for her age, she needs to feel safe and free with you" He advised. "And you think I'm not giving her enough freedom?" I raised an eyebrow at him as he fast-forwarded the
Chapter 64 Sofia's Pov I didn't expect my husband to be so sweet and although I have been avoiding him for the past three days, he sends me flowers and apology notes. I was almost tempted to climb down the stairs and run into his room at night whenever he came home, but I was too stubborn to go back on my promise. He needs to learn that I have needs and I don't want to be in this cage he built for me, thankfully that had been going well for me and he is slowly giving in. I didn't exactly want to go clubbing with my friends I haven't even invited them yet because I changed my mind about it, I will just be going with Mark instead and it will be a great experience. I already shopped for clothes and Bruce helped me pick the perfect dress, I even bought some for him too because I didn't know what to do with the black card and shopping with my friend meant buying stuff for them, right? Never mind, I'm currently in the living room reading a book and waiting for my husband to come bac
Chapter 65Sofia's Pov I tried to say something but I ended up sputtering nonsense, my father never mentioned anything to me and they are thinking I have something to do with it now. "Explain, please. If you know about it" Mark said and I noticed his jaw clenched in anger, of course, it involves his lovely wife the one he loves. "Are you trying to say that he had something to do with her death? Or that I know about it or it was all set up?" I asked Reid and he nodded. "It's no coincidence that your father offered you up almost immediately and you accepted, you are young and you still had a life so I don't know why you decided to marry someone older than you without putting up a fight" Reid accused. "Are you kidding me right now? I had no choice! You fucking piece of shit. I get it Emily was your friend but don't you dare try to pin her death on me! Or my father, I'm sure he had his reasons, and until you have enough proof don't go around accusing people because you are pained you
Chapter 66Mark's Pov "You think she's telling the truth? Aren't you going to say anything?" Reid asked. I went after Sofia but she left in a cab, we tried tailing them but we lost them at a point and I thought she was going to her father's house, but only to get there and find out she didn't even stop by. Where the hell is she? I was still thinking about everything and I knew Emilliano had nothing to do with Emily's accident, they said it was an accident and it wasn't a murder. But Reid is too obsessed with the case to let it go, "Mark you are losing focus all because of this girl-""That is enough, Reid" I cut him off. "No! It's not, we can finally find who is responsible for that so-called accident that took her away from us. Have you forgotten that?" He asked. "Or are you in love with your new wife?" He interjected and I glared at him. "Get out!" I replied coldly. "Mark I'm sorry I just..." He sighed. "I know you are thinking Sofia is responsible for her death but it's n
Chapter 67 Sofia's Pov I was so shocked to see him and scared that he might force me to come with him, but thankfully I was able to stand on business. "Don't you think he is really sorry? I mean he was obviously looking for you" Rachelle said beside me, we were inside a cab heading to her house. "I don't know, but I need time to clear my head" I replied looking out the window. It's not as if he put up a fight for me to stay and he only wants me back because of his kids, I miss my babies but I just need space. We got home and I decided to make dinner, "I can get a hotel if you ever need some privacy, I won't be staying for long though but for now if you need space just let me know, okay?" I remarked. "Alright, my friends come to visit every Friday night and sometimes we go to the club or just watch movies" She informed. "Like a sleepover?" I asked excitedly, I never really had a sleepover before because I didn't have friends in high school. "Yeah, maybe you could join
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
Mark pov"Now tell me who you are working for to save us from this awkwardness, and maybe save yourself from torture, the last time we had to torture a woman my wife did it, I didn't want blood on her hands so I employed someone else. Enzo complains about it and suggests we find someone else who is comfortable with it, a woman, and I found one who specializes in poison. Pretty nasty work if you ask me" I shrugged. "I don't know what you are talking about" She denied visibly trembling like a leaf in the wind. "You don't want to play that game with me, Marcel! Now tell me who you work for and how you plan to steal everything away from me, the clock is ticking and she will be here in three minutes" I warned. "But- but -""Do you think I'm stupid and I would choose my wife over you? How did you know I would be at that bar that day? Huh? You think you are so smart, too bad just one slip-up will cost you your life" I stood up and the door opened revealing my new extractor. A woman dress
Mark's Pov I went back into the basement to finish what I was doing before, even if I had no reason to be there I just needed something to help me take my mind off Sofia. What she said. I couldn't believe it but she looked like she was telling the truth, does she really love him? Where is she going to go? "Damian" I called and he came to my side. "Yes boss" He answered. "I want you to follow Sofia and find out where she is going to" I ordered and he nodded before walking away. I thought of what she just told me and how she was crying, she had to be lying to me about not loving me. And she looked convinced about Marcel trying to scam me not that I was surprised, it might be true but Marcel wouldn't dare to do such a thing now she knows about my underground business. I left the basement heading to the house, I met my mother and Marcel discussing and laughing loudly in the living room. "Mark? Did your wife tell you anything before she left?" My mother asked with a smug smile o
Mark pov “Flashback”I still feel guilty for being the reason why his sister was like this and I don't want him to see her unlike she wakes up, I brought the kids with me the following day and Lois took everything in as we passed wards and nurses on our way to his mother's ward. "Is this a hospital?" He asked and I nodded. "Is Mummy sick?" He asked again and I hesitated. "Yes," I reluctantly said and Joey stirred in my arms. We got to her ward and Lois looked shocked seeing her unconscious state, the nurses were checking up on her and we just stood there watching. "Is she going to be alright?" He asked in a low tone. "Yes, she is going to be fine" I replied even if I wasn't so sure about it myself. Until I heard him sniff and I glanced at him to see that he was crying, "What is it? Mummy is going to be fine" I assured him wondering if I made a mistake bringing them here. Joey was still looking around and she was too little to understand, "You promise?" He lifted his gaze peer
