Sophia's POV

Many 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

    Butterflies. That fluttering sensation in your stomach. Most people associate it with love, excitement, or the thrill of the unknown. For me, it’s more complicated. Sure, I feel them when I’m dancing with my best friend at a club or acing a tough project at work. But today, there are no butterflies. Today, my stomach feels like lead, sinking deeper with every word my mother says. “We know this is a lot to process, Sophia , but it’s for the best,” she says, her perfectly manicured nails tapping nervously on the arm of the leather couch. My father, usually a silent observer in family drama, looks worse than usual. His gaunt face, framed by graying hair, makes him seem like a ghost of the man I grew up admiring. He’s hunched over in his chair, gripping a whiskey glass like it’s the only thing tethering him to reality. “‘For the best?’” I echo, my voice sharper than I intend. “You want me to marry some stranger to save your failing business? Are we in the 1800s?” My mother’s lips

    Sophia's POVI can’t stop the whirlwind of emotions spinning through my mind tonight. Yet, despite the turmoil, a small smile creeps onto my face at the thought of seeing Liam.Hugging my jacket closer, I step out of the car and walk toward his apartment. As my heels click against the pavement, I wonder—does my mother oppose my relationship with Liam because he isn’t as wealthy as the man she’s arranged for me to marry? Or is it because Liam has betrayed me before?Twice.If Clara hadn’t caught Liam’s eye, maybe he wouldn’t have cheated on me again. But Clara is nothing more than a scheming vulture, and I’m determined to prove it.Liam and I love each other. At least, I thought we did. He used to be so passionate, so tender. The love I’d been starved of at home, ever since my family’s status began to crumble, Liam managed to rekindle in me. He made me believe in something real.When I thought he’d tire of me, he didn’t. He kept coming back. He kept fighting for us. So how could I give

    Dante's POVFive minutes have passed already.Tardiness is one of the things I despise the most. It grates on my nerves.If I wait another five minutes and she doesn't show, I’m leaving. This time could’ve been spent on work—productive, meaningful work—instead of sitting here like an idiot.I steal one more glance at the restaurant door where I’ve been waiting for nearly ten minutes. A heavy sigh escapes me as my thoughts spiral back to the chain of events leading to this ridiculous meeting.At first, I thought it was some kind of joke. Learning about the betrothal and the stipulation that I must marry to inherit my grandfather’s construction company? It felt like some kind of cruel prank.That old man knew me too well. He knew I’d never willingly get married, so he rigged the system against me. My father, of course, had been conveniently silent about this little arrangement until now. That betrayal still stings.And yet, no one forced me to be here. I chose to come, perhaps out of cu

    Sophia's POVThe plan worked.I almost laughed out loud when I first saw the look on his face—a mix of confusion and anger.He’s clearly an impatient man. I arrived late on purpose and dressed like this on purpose too.I want to annoy him. I’m not here because I actually want to entertain this absurd betrothal or the impending marriage preparations. No, I’m here because I need to make a statement.It’s infuriating that my parents took such a major decision on my behalf. They had no right. I’m not a child. I should be able to make decisions for my own life.Last night, I discovered Clara at Liam's apartment, and that betrayal cemented my decision to come here today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered.Two of my best friends betrayed me, and I’m here to take my revenge.Mother was right—Liam isn’t good for me.At first, I tried to justify his actions, but it’s obvious now that he wants my friend too. If he truly loved me, he wouldn’t have cheated on me with her. That’s unforgivable.“I’

    Dante's POVA contract marriage? Really?I chuckle, the sound echoing through the room. It's not just a laugh—it's one of those deep, mocking ones that make people uncomfortable. I half hope it'll make her squirm, but Sophia doesn’t even flinch.She’s calm, annoyingly so, with a determined glint in her eyes. It’s the kind of look that says, I know exactly what I’m doing. My laughter dies off, and I lean back in my chair.“Are you done?” she asks, leaning forward slightly. Her makeup—way too much of it—is hard to miss up close.I don’t reply. I wish I’d never suggested this meeting in the first place. And now, here we are.Married to this psycho? The idea alone makes my skin crawl. And yet, here she is, suggesting a contract marriage. Who even does that?As if reading my thoughts, Sophia arches an eyebrow. “Let me remind you. I had a boyfriend, a decent one at that. But I had to break up with him because I’ve apparently been destined to marry you. Neither of us even likes each other, Da

    A MONTH LATERSophia's POVLife often leads us down unexpected paths, forcing us to confront realities we never imagined.This is my reality.I scrawled those words on a scrap of paper in the dressing room before stepping out into the moment that would change everything.This isn't the life I dreamed of. It's the complete opposite of what I envisioned for myself and my future.I’ve always believed in love—real, deep love—because I’ve felt its magic in fleeting moments. Marrying without love? That was something I never thought I’d consider, let alone experience. But here I am, about to do exactly that.The sound of applause swells and then fades into a distant hum as I walk toward the arbor. My gaze locks onto the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle.Dante's.Today, I’ll become his bride—not because we’re in love, but because life demands sacrifices.I’m doing this for my father. To see him stand tall again, to restore the pride and strength he once carried. To help him rebuild w

    Dante's POVThe door is locked.My hand is still on the doorknob. I twist it again, but it won’t budge.It’s locked from the inside. Without pausing to consider why the woman I married just hours ago would lock me out of our bedroom, I raise my hand and knock.The knock is loud—loud enough to wake the dead. She can’t possibly tell me she locked the door and then fell asleep. I was only outside for thirty minutes, trying to make sense of everything and figure out what to do once this sham of a marriage runs its course.The memory of how she humiliated me at the church lingers, fresh and raw. She refused to let me kiss her. Isn’t that part of the pretense? Weren’t we supposed to make it look real, like we’re starting to like each other? Isn’t this what she said we’d do?I felt humiliated. What if someone had noticed?Luckily, no one seemed to catch on. Not the tension between us, nor the simmering disdain we clearly feel for each other.Still no answer.“Sophia, open the door!” I call lo

    Sophia's POVDetermined to annoy Dante's tonight, I stretch out on the bed, fully clothed, and wait. As soon as the sound of the shower stops, I shut my eyes, feigning sleep.There's no way I’m letting him share this bed with me. I’ve always cherished my personal space. The only person I’ve ever shared a bed with was Liam, and I’m not ready to cross that line with Dante's.Sure, we’re supposed to finalize the contract tonight, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let him charm his way into staying here. Not a chance.I hear the bathroom door creak open, and my imagination kicks in. I picture him stepping out, droplets of water trailing down his bare chest, a towel slung loosely around his waist. I can almost feel the annoyed glare he’ll throw my way when he sees me sprawled across the bed, legs stretched wide to block any space for him.It’s our first night as a couple, and I’m determined to stick to the rules. Letting him sleep here would set a dangerous precedent. He might start expecting othe

    Dante POVI ache so desperately for the remaining months so she can go and I can be back to my normal self.This is what she wants. If she wanted to be gone, then maybe she will be out of my mind as well.I hate this pathetic feeling in me. With my hand entwined with hers, we run all the way home. 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.

  • Mr Billionaire Dangerous Love   51

    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
