Dante's POV

As soon as we reach the shade, I help mother sit down before taking a seat across from her. She picks up a paper and throws it at me.

I expected a long silence before I’d ask for her forgiveness, but from the look of things, I’ve already been forgiven. She’s just choosing to ignore me.

I pick up the paper to see if it’s a newspaper, and when it falls onto my lap, I see the headline.

Dante Lorenzo, the CEO of Multi-Million Company, seen with his newly wedded wife having a private dinner at…

I glance up to see her face. Still unreadable.

Did my plan work?

"Is it true?" she asks weakly, her hands trembling a little. I notice she doesn’t seem as lively as she did the last time we were here for dinner. She seems weaker with each passing day.

I nod without saying a word.

There’s a picture of Sophia and me attached to the news. I don’t understand why she’s asking me if it’s true.

Maybe she wants to confirm if it’s really Sophia or if she thinks this is all just an act.

    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.

    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

    Sophia's POVMany thoughts are running through my head while he sits calmly beside me, driving the car. I still haven't been able to comprehend his confessions. I still haven't been able to accept that my Mother is right this time.I haven't come to terms with what he said. Being nervous around men has never been my thing but for weeks, I have been extremely nervous around him and I try as much to avoid him.I know he wants answers but I have nothing to say to him. I just wished he never confessed his feelings to me and I am still as clueless as ever. I doubt if I can ever become comfortable with him again."Are you ok?" He demands with a voice thick in concern.I spare him a glance. He is watching me with a worried expression while driving expertly with his left hand. I don't think I have ever seen him drive himself."Yes", I nod and gulp down loudly before looking away.He must think I am nervous about the information I got this night which involves my father and his but that isn't

As soon as we are inside the massive gate, I let go of her hand and begin to walk faster so I can get away from her and away from the longing I feel.When I step inside, I hurry towards the staircase.

    Sophia's POV Two hours of mindless Netflix binging and a bowl of bland popcorn later, I toss the remote aside with a frustrated sigh. The movie isn’t cutting it. The popcorn? Tasteless. My patience? Hanging by a thread. Nothing seems to hold my attention these days, and the boredom is gnawing at me. It’s not just boredom, it’s something deeper. Restlessness. At first, I thought changing my surroundings would help. I left my room for Dante’s, hoping being in his space would ease the monotony. It worked, but only for a moment. Now, I’m back to feeling suffocated. I need to get out. Back when I was with Liam, boredom was never an issue. If it crept in, the solution was simple, Liam or parties. I don’t miss Liam, but I do miss the freedom of my old life. No heavy expectations. No endless worries weighing me down. Now? I’m stuck worrying about Dante, about our rocky relationship, about my parents. Dante is colder than I ever imagined he could be. It’s like he’s punishing

    Dante's POV The anger simmering inside me refuses to fade, even after I apologized to her. It's an unshakable rage mixed with a suffocating tightness in my chest and a hollow ache in my stomach. I can’t get a grip on my emotions as I sit at the bar counter downstairs, staring at the glass of whiskey and wine I just poured. The sharp tang of the alcohol barely registers as I gulp it down, trying to drown the storm inside me. I wish none of this had happened. I wish I hadn’t told her how I felt. Maybe then, things wouldn’t have spiraled like this. She’s still in love with him. Liam. He’s the one she wants, or at least he was before I came into the picture. If she hadn’t learned about the arranged marriage, would she have taken him back? Accepted his apology? Maybe it’s not as easy to erase your first love as I thought. Maybe she misses how he used to kiss her. “Damn it!” I slam my fist against the counter, wincing at the sharp pain that follows. I didn’t see this coming.

    Sophia's POVFinding out such a significant part of my life like this is something I never wanted Mother to know about. I never thought it through seriously. I just assumed she wouldn’t care as long as her ambitions were fulfilled.But seeing her standing there, mouth agape, I feel a deep sense of shame. I wish she hadn’t overheard my conversation with Dante.It’s mortifying.Almost as mortifying as Dante finding out I’m still a virgin despite all the wild parties, reckless behavior, and my headstrong attitude."A contract marriage?" she repeats, as though she still can’t believe what she’s just heard. Finally, she shuts her mouth. I slump onto the bed, my head bowed low in embarrassment.We shouldn’t have talked about this here."Sophia, talk to me. What does he mean by a contract marriage? Did you two actually sign a contract?" She grabs an ottoman and sits in front of me, her expression demanding answers.I’m guessing Dante was too furious to answer her earlier. He just made sure s

    Sophia's POV Father is refusing to answer my questions. I’ve given him more than enough time, but his silence makes it clear—he doesn’t want to talk about it. I’m sure he knows something. Either he’s hiding something or trying to protect Dante’s father simply because he’s my father-in-law. Just like Dante said, how can we help if we don’t know the truth about their past? I try again, reaching out to him, hoping to persuade him to speak. Just then, the door opens without warning. I turn and see Mom walk in, her face lit up with excitement. “Guess who’s here?” she beams, gesturing toward the open door. Dante steps in, looking...off. His jaw is clenched, and his eyes hold a look I can’t quite decipher. He closes the door behind him and walks in, his presence heavy. I didn’t tell him Father would be discharged today—Mom must have. We haven’t been on great terms since the other night, but even then, he’s never looked this furious. Did something happen at work? Did he

    Dante PovCelina has been blowing up my phone for days. She never had a reason to call me all this time, but seeing me again after so many years—now with a woman I call my wife—must have set her off. Sophia doesn’t need to know who she is. The mere thought of Celina irritates the hell out of me. How did she even get my number? She never reached out before, and now, all of a sudden, she starts calling non-stop. The first time she called, I recognized her voice before she even introduced herself. I hung up immediately. Since then, I haven’t answered her calls, not once. This morning, I finally blocked her number. She's too annoying, and I’m blaming her for Sophia’s recent coldness toward me. It’s easier to shift the blame onto Celina than to face the fact that my own actions might be the problem. It’s been days since I took Sophia to the garden, and ever since, she’s been deliberately ignoring me. She spends her nights at the hospital with her dad, but last night, she finally

    Sophia’s POV Liam and Clara are the only people who know I’m a virgin. No one else. Not even my own mother. You’d think she might have guessed, considering she’s my mother. But with the wild parties Clara and I attend and the fact that I had a boyfriend for years, she must have assumed I’d lost it somewhere along the way. She never asked. And I never told her. If she did know, I’d think she was the one who told Dante. But my mother doesn’t know, so who did? “You can’t have sex with someone you don’t love,” Dante says suddenly, his voice low but sharp, cutting through my thoughts. “But you never had sex with Liam, and you were with him for years. Didn’t you love him?” The question hits me like a slap. My heart stumbles over itself, and I gape at him. “How...how do you know that?” I stammer, my voice trembling despite my best efforts to sound calm. “How I know doesn’t matter, does it?” “Of course it matters!” I snap, louder than I intend. Silence settles between us.

    Sophia's POV My chest tightens as Liam’s lips crash against mine, the kiss fierce and demanding, his hands threading through my hair with a grip that doesn’t allow for escape. He presses harder, seeking entrance I stubbornly refuse to grant, my teeth clenched against the invasion. But resistance only lasts so long. The moment I falter, he takes full advantage, his tongue sweeping inside to claim every inch of me. His hands travel boldly downward, sending a jolt of awareness through me. Then he bites, softly but deliberately, at the corner of my lips, breaking the haze. Reality slams into me with the force of a hurricane. How did we get here? Why is this happening? My thoughts are a swirling mess of questions I can’t answer. Dante has never looked more serious than he does now. There’s no teasing smirk, no casual air about him. His dark eyes burn with something raw, something I don’t dare name. And yet, I can’t shake the disbelief. This is the second time today he’s kissed me
