Dante's POV

Sophia 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

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.

    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 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

    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 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

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.

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

    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
