Mr Billionaire Dangerous Love 30
Sophia's POVI watch my mother with wide eyes as she shifts uncomfortably in her seat, her expression full of guilt. My father sits across from me, like always, staring at her with a look of anger.I shouldn’t have come here.My mother will never change. She kept everything in check as long as my father could fulfill all her demands, buying her designer bags, shoes, and clothes. But now that he can barely afford any of that, she’s determined to make his life even harder.This man is barely holding on, and this is how she wants to help him?She reaches out to touch me, but I stand up suddenly, making her hand fall to her side.My anger is boiling over. Especially because she made me yell at Dante, for no reason.I thought he was being selfish again, like he always is—caring only about himself and never about me. But this time, I was wrong.“Sophia, you should go home. It’s getting late,” my father says after clearing his throat. “Dante and I have no business together. This is strictly

Dante's POVI can't sit still.I was so stunned when she left that I just stood there, watching her walk away until she disappeared from view. I never imagined she'd do something like that, and now I have no idea where she could have gone.The sky grows darker, and my worry deepens.Is she safe? Where is she?The first feeling I had when she ran off was fear. Fear that she might be gone for good, and I could lose her forever.We haven't reached our goal yet. Sophia is just starting to warm up to me, and there are still things she expects from me.If Sophia just leaves like that, where do I go from here? She's the one easing the anxiety I have about losing my mother. Without realizing it, she's shown me how to accept whatever life throws at me—both the good and the bad.If we're ready for it, then it doesn't hurt as much when it comes. But if it’s something we don’t expect, it can hurt far more.I’m not wishing for my mother’s death. I’m just trying to be prepared to face it when it ha

Sophia's POVHe got away with it.The moment his pocket knife sliced into my shoulder, I barely had time to react before someone rushed in to help.He ran.A robber. He tried to steal everything from me—my jewelry, phone, purse. But I fought back. I didn't make it easy for him. His frustration only grew, and he hurt me in the process.Struggling with him probably helped. If I hadn't resisted, he would’ve gotten away with my things before anyone could even step in to help."Are you okay, ma'am?" a stranger asks, his voice filled with concern as he gently guides me to a nearby seat.He hovers over me, arms crossed, awaiting an answer. But I can't find my voice. My body is still shaking from what just happened, and I can feel the blood seeping from my shoulder.There’s no need for him to know that. Dante should be here soon. I didn’t mean to call him, but I did anyway, and he should be arriving any moment now.I’m just worried about losing too much blood before he gets here.The stranger

Dante's POVI was furious at Sophia, but the moment she collapsed, all my anger vanished, replaced by panic. I yelled at John to drive faster until we reached the hospital.The doctor examined her and assured us it wasn’t serious—just excessive bleeding.I didn’t want her spending the night in the hospital, so I carried her back to the car, and we headed home.Lost in thought, I felt a stir beside me. Sophia’s eyes fluttered open, meeting mine. She had been sleeping ever since we left the hospital.“What happened?” she murmured, her voice groggy as her eyes shut briefly before reopening.Relief washed over me. I’d been terrified something terrible would happen. Despite how challenging she can be, she’s my wife, and her safety is my responsibility.“We’re going home,” I replied, looking away. I wasn’t sure if she remembered what led to all this or if she simply didn’t want to talk about it. She stayed silent.After a while, I glanced over to find her staring at me. At first, I thought s

Sophia's POVA noise jolts me awake.I blink a few times, my eyes adjusting to the brightness in the room. The lights are still on. Dante's didn’t bother turning them off before crashing on the couch, and neither did I before dozing off.Curious about the noise, I try to sit up, but a sharp pain shoots through my shoulder. Then it hits me—I was attacked last night. The memory comes flooding back, along with the strange dream I just had.In the dream, I saw faces—three of them stood out. One belonged to Liam, the second to Clara, and the third to a woman I couldn’t place. She felt familiar, though. It was like my mind was telling me I knew her but refused to reveal how or from where.But now that I’m awake, I’m certain none of them were responsible for what happened. The culprit had seemed opportunistic, taking advantage of me being alone on an empty street.I sigh heavily, swinging my legs off the bed as an urgent need to use the bathroom takes over. My bladder feels uncomfortably full

Dante's POVSophia’s sleeping face is the first thing I see when I open my eyes.She looks serene and beautiful, her full lips catching my attention. They remind me of the fleeting kiss we shared the other night.Gone is the iron-fisted, stone-hearted, argumentative woman I know her to be. Right now, she looks like a sleeping goddess.My gaze trails to her exposed cleavage, and I swallow hard, quickly looking away. Shaking off the thought, I climb out of bed and head to the bathroom for a shower before work.The morning light streams in. My internal clock rarely fails me—I wake up at around 6 a.m., give or take a few minutes, without needing an alarm.After brushing my teeth, I step under the shower. The warm water cascades over me, washing away the haze of sleep, but my mind can’t seem to wander far from last night—or Sophia.Her touch when she held my hand, insisting I had a nightmare, replays in my head.I never have nightmares.Sure, I was uncomfortable on that couch, but her assum

Sophia's POVYawning and stretching, my hand brushes the empty space beside me. I open my eyes to find that Dante is gone.He was here all night, sleeping soundly. He must have left for work.Suddenly, my stomach growls loudly, and I groan as I get up. My shoulder still hurts a lot, and I’m guessing this hunger is thanks to the medicine I took last night.I slip into the flip-flops by the bed and shuffle out of the room, yawning loudly without a care.Last night was a nightmare, but today, I feel slightly better, though the pain is still there.I’ve decided not to dwell on what happened. Overthinking it is probably why I had that dream.“A dream is just a figment of imagination caused by human thoughts,” my dad used to say.There’s no point stressing over it now. What’s done is done. He was just a thief trying to rob me, nothing more. He’s nowhere near as significant as Liam, Clara, or even that other woman.I take the stairs slowly, heading to the dining room in search of breakfast. M

Dante's POVFather is about to leave for the day when I walk into his office without knocking. His secretary had mentioned he had plans, but this matter can’t wait.I’ve got plenty to handle back at my office, which is why I came straight here instead of heading back after my meeting.He pauses mid-step, turning to face me with a stern look.Realizing I’ve skipped formalities, I greet him, though my voice is slow. “Good morning, Father.”“Why are you here?” he asks, ignoring my greeting and offering no invitation to sit.I take a seat anyway, disregarding his tone.Questions flood my mind, ones that have been haunting me for days. This isn’t just for Sophia’s sake—though she’s part of it. My own curiosity burns too deeply to let this go unanswered."I asked why you're here, Dante,” he snaps, his irritation evident. “I’ve got a meeting in thirty minutes, and I need to leave."“I won’t take much of your time, Dad,” I reply, spinning the chair to face him. “I just have one question.”He

Dante's POVFor reasons I can’t explain, my heart keeps racing, and wild imaginations flood my mind about what might have happened—or what could happen.This man isn't safe. He isn’t well either.Something is wrong.I keep questioning whether my father is responsible for him collapsing unconscious after I left his room—or if this is all just desperation taking its toll.I’ve been trying to call Sophia all morning. The phone rings, but she doesn’t answer. It’s making me uneasy.Eventually, I called my mom to ask about Sophia, and she said she hadn’t seen her either. That was all I needed to hit the edge of panic.Fear gripped me. My emotions threatened to burst out of my chest as the possibility of something bad happening to her sank in.Mrs. Adams is nowhere to be found, either, which only makes things more confusing.When Sophia finally picked up her phone, her voice sounded calm—like nothing was wrong. I hoped she would show up at the hospital soon.Her father is still in the emerge

Sophia's POVLiam is blackmailing me into having lunch with him because I accidentally bumped into his car. I’ve already spent two hours with him, and it's almost noon.Determined to annoy me, he told me to take his car to the mechanic. Fortunately, I found some notes in Dante's car, and after getting the car fixed, Liam demanded that we have lunch together.I know I shouldn't be agreeing to have lunch with my ex-boyfriend. I’m supposed to despise him, especially after everything he did to hurt Dante, but Liam feels like a stranger now. I guess my curiosity got the best of me."You still look beautiful," he says, making me pull the straw away from my mouth as I stare at him.I didn’t have breakfast before heading out, and by the time we were done with his car, my stomach was already rumbling, which is why he suggested we grab lunch nearby.With a smug grin, I respond, "Just like Clara."He turns away, muttering under his breath. "Clara is nowhere near as beautiful as you, Sophia. You

Dante’s POVJohn honks the horn again, the sound growing more irritating with each second. I’m about to lose my patience when I wave for him to stop. I get out of the car and look around, my arms crossed.Aren’t they home?I walk toward the gate, relieved to see it’s not locked. I push it open, confirming my suspicion. I glance back at John, who shakes his head.Apparently, they no longer have guards or even a gateman. They should’ve at least locked the gate.I signal for John to wait outside while I open the gate and step inside. The place is a mess. The flowers are wilting, probably because the gardener’s been let go. The courtyard looks neglected, and I can’t help but wonder if this is part of Sophia’s worries for her parents.I push aside the disarray and head for the front door, hands tucked in my pockets.This is the third time I’ve come here. The first time, John honked the horn for several minutes, hoping someone would answer the door, but there was no response.The second tim

Sophia’s POVDante’s ex-girlfriend was the third woman I saw alongside Liam and Clara the other day, the one from the nightmare. I couldn’t place her at the time, but today, I recognize her more clearly. Her face, the way she carried herself—it’s all too familiar. That’s not what’s bothering me, though. What confuses me is why she’s there with Liam and Clara, and why she keeps appearing in my dreams. Who is she to Liam? Does she know Clara too?Summoning the strength to get out of bed, I do so, replaying what happened last night at the restaurant. It nearly ended in disaster because of Liam and that woman showing up, which set Dante off. I still don’t understand why Dante was so angry with Liam or why that woman was with him.I’m left wondering about everything—why Dante hasn’t made an effort to clear up my confusion. Is he waiting for me to demand answers? Why did he ignore my question when I asked who she was last night? Is he ashamed to admit she’s his ex? What exactly went down be

Dante's POVSophia's hands wrap tightly around my waist, holding me back from throwing another punch at Liam.I can't explain the anger that surges through me when I see him, but something about the way Sophia is here, her presence, only makes everything worse.A wave of warmth flows through me at the feel of her touch. It calms me, and for a moment, all I can do is stare at her hands, wishing they'd stay like this forever."Liam, stop!" Sophia's voice pulls me out of my thoughts. Liam is rushing toward me, but she shoves him back, causing him to fall on his backside. "What is wrong with you?!" she yells at him, her voice a mix of fury and frustration.I wonder about the kind of relationship they had, but honestly, it's none of my business.I drop my hands and take both of Sophia's in mine, spinning around to face her. A sudden knot forms in my stomach when I see the fear in her eyes. I’ve never seen her like this—not even when she was attacked.Without thinking, I pull her into a hug
Mr Billionaire Dangerous Love 42
Sophia's POVThis must be one of his girlfriends—another woman he might try to make his sex partner.She’s a model type, with long legs and a curvy shape. I have long legs too, and I’m curvy, but her outfit is on another level. It reminds me how I’ve been neglecting the perks of being married to a billionaire.Her jewelry is from one of New York’s top stores, and that handbag? Definitely a designer piece.I had completely forgotten about Liam until he cleared his throat, pulling my attention back to him. I was surprised to see him, but not as shocked as seeing him with yet another woman.I always expect to see him with Clara now and then. I keep hoping they’re together, somehow making my breakup worthwhile, but from the looks of it, they aren’t.Either Clara has already dumped him, or he never loved her the way he loved me.That pain strikes again—the same old ache in my heart. It’s like something inside of me dies every time I see his face, ever since he betrayed me.I thought I was

Dante’s POVShe’s something else, I swear.I thought for sure she’d get jealous when I asked that question—maybe even throw a tantrum. But she’s not doing anything like that, and I feel... unsatisfied.I can’t explain it. Just the other day, I was pumped about the idea of us getting closer, but now, after asking for her permission, the excitement has completely faded.What’s going on with me?I watch as her eyes widen in surprise. Honestly, I’m just as taken aback. I didn’t mean to ask her that—it just slipped out, but something deep inside me made me say it.Something I shouldn’t have said. Something that feels wrong.“What?!” she asks, repeating herself for what seems like the tenth time.I shrug, just as confused as she is. I don’t know why I said that either.Then, I chuckle, trying to defuse the tension, and see her roll her eyes at me before letting out a long sigh. “You’re kidding, right?”I shrug again, this time with no idea what I’m doing.She hisses out of frustration, and

Sophia's POVThere stands Christine Moore.My favorite guitarist.My mouth drops open in disbelief, and I quickly glance over at Dante, who is smiling proudly. Before I even realize it, I'm running into his arms.We’re already out of the car, but I can’t believe my eyes. I needed to step out quickly to make sure I wasn’t imagining things.Christine stands before me, looking effortlessly handsome in a black cotton jacket and a white-purple shirt. He pairs it with blue-purple trousers and a brown leather belt.His matching black sneakers complete the look. His short wavy black hair perfectly complements his outfit, and as he slides the guitar across his body, I can barely breathe.I realize I’m still in Dante’s arms, and I quickly pull away with a nervous laugh.I have no idea how Dante knew about my obsession with Christine’s music, but whatever he did to make this happen, I’m grateful.I’ve always admired Christine from a distance, watching him on TV. Back when my father’s business wa

Dante's POVSophia has been avoiding me for over a week now, ever since I told her I didn’t approve of her telling my mother that she was pregnant without my consent.My mother has been thrilled by the news, and now, everyone knows that Sophia is pregnant.Every time I try to resolve things between us, I find her curled up in bed, leaving the couch for me to sleep on.I had the maids bring in another bed for the room I’m staying in now. I’m not on the couch anymore, but I really wish I could sleep beside her again.Guilt is something I’ve felt more since Sophia came into my life. I don’t know how she manages to make me feel this way, but she does.I feel bad for what I said to her, which led to her being upset with me. I really want to apologize, but I don't know how to start.She’s just trying to help.Casually, I walk out of her room and close the door behind me when I bump into someone. It’s Sophia, and she raises an eyebrow at me.“What were you doing in my room?” she asks, scrunc
