My Godfather is my Soulmate 48. Echoes
Alexa's POVMy phone, lying face down on the kitchen counter, buzzed, shattering the oppressive quiet moment Sarah and I were enjoying. I hesitated, my hand hovering over it, reluctant to break the fragile shell of my peace. Finally, I flipped it over. Jeremy’s name flashed across the screen.“Hey,” I managed, my voice hoarse, a mere whisper.“Alexa? You sound…rough,” Jeremy said, his voice laced with concern. “Are you alright?”“As alright as I can be,” I replied, trying to inject a semblance of normalcy into my tone, but it was a poor attempt.There was a pause, a moment of shared silence that stretched between us. I could almost feel his empathy, his unspoken understanding.We hung up after catching up with work and making plans for dinner the next day. The silence returned in the room, but this time, it felt different. It was still heavy, but it was no longer suffocating. It was a silence filled with the echo of Jeremy’s affection towards me, a reminder that I wasn’t entirely alon

The apartment was a dimly lit sanctuary, the silence broken only by the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall. Jeremy’s call had hung in the air, a gentle reminder of the dinner he had planned, a dinner I was woefully unprepared for. I hadn’t even started getting ready. My clothes lay scattered on the bed. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, a relentless replay of Don Antonio’s voice, his laughter, the feeling of his hand in mine. How is he? Is he alright? Does he miss me as much as I miss him? The questions echoed in the quiet apartment, drowning out any attempt at rational thought. I stared at my reflection in the darkened window, a pale, drawn face staring back. My hair, usually carefully styled, was a tangled mess, pulled back into a haphazard bun. I hadn’t bothered with makeup, and the dark circles under my eyes spoke volumes about my sleepless nights. Jeremy’s invitation, meant to be a gesture of kindness and support, felt like an impossible task. The thought of dressi
Last Updated : 2025-03-31My Godfather is my Soulmate 50. Illusions or Delusions?
The villa was a haven of tranquility, a place designed to soothe the soul and heal the body. The gentle rhythm of the waves lapping against the shore, the fragrant scent of the tropical flowers, the luxurious comfort of my surroundings – all of it should have brought me peace. But it didn't. It couldn't.I spent hours by the infinity pool, the warm sun on my skin, the cool water a temporary balm against the fire that raged within me. Isabella was attentive and kind, her presence a constant, gentle reminder of my need for rest and recovery.Her touch was gentle, her voice soothing. She brought me fresh fruit, read to me from books, and tried, with unwavering patience, to engage me in conversation. She was everything they said I needed. Everything except her.I would smile, offer polite responses, and attempt to feign interest in her stories. But my mind was a battlefield, a constant struggle against the relentless tide of longing that threatened to consume me.Everywhere I looked, I sa

Alexa's POVI paced restlessly, my half-hearted attempts to get ready abandoned. My reflection in the mirror was a stranger – pale, drawn, with shadows under my eyes that spoke of sleepless nights and gnawing worry.But I couldn't let it consume me. Not tonight and certainly not completely. Jeremy deserved better. He deserved my attention, my gratitude, a semblance of the warmth he so freely offered. I couldn't allow my father's cryptic message to completely overshadow the evening.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to straighten my shoulders. "What will be, will be," I told myself, a mantra against the rising tide of panic. I couldn't control the future. I couldn't undo the past. All I could do was try to navigate the present with a shred of grace.I decided to start over, to approach the evening with a renewed sense of purpose. I chose a dress, a simple but elegant black number that made me feel a little more confident, a little more put-together. I took my time with my hair and m

Alexa's POVFor a few precious hours, I allowed myself to be swept away by the flickering images on the screen, to lose myself in the story unfolding before me. This movie night was an impromptu decision, but it will go a long way in getting me distracted from everything happening in my life. Jeremy's presence beside me was a comforting anchor, a gentle reminder of the kindness and support he offered. He didn't press me, didn't demand explanations for my distracted silences. He simply sat beside me, his hand occasionally brushing against mine, a silent offering of comfort.The movie ended, the credits rolling across the screen, and we stepped out into the cool night air. The city lights shimmered, reflecting in Jeremy's eyes as he turned to me, a soft smile playing on his lips."That was good," he said, his voice low. "I'm glad we came instead of going home like we had initially planned.""Me too," I replied, my voice a little breathless. The tension that had been building between us

Don Antonio's POVThe silence in the villa was no longer a peaceful respite; it was a tense, expectant hush, like the calm before a storm. Isabella's threat hung heavy in the air, a dark cloud casting a shadow over the once-tranquil haven. I knew it was only a matter of time before Donald would know.I paced the length of the living room, my movements restless and agitated. The expansive windows, usually a source of solace, now framed a turbulent sea, mirroring the turmoil within me. The staff moved with hushed efficiency, their eyes darting away from mine, sensing the brewing storm.I tried to prepare myself, to steel my nerves for the inevitable confrontation. I rehearsed what I would say, how I would explain the baffling connection I shared with Alexa. But words seemed scarce, clumsy tools against the force of Donald's likely fury.He was my best friend, my confidant, the brother I never had. We had weathered storms together, built empires together, faced down enemies together. But

Alexa's POVI rushed after Jeremy, my heart pounding in my chest. He walked with a determined stride, his back rigid, his silence a heavy rebuke. I had to stop him. I had to make him understand."Jeremy! Wait!" I called out, my voice echoing in the deserted street.He paused, turning to face me, his expression a mixture of hurt and resignation. "What is it, Alexa?" he asked, his voice flat."I…I need to explain," I said, my breath coming in ragged gasps. "I need you to understand."He raised an eyebrow, his gaze skeptical. "Explain what? That you're in love with someone else? That you can't be with me?""Yes," I said, my voice trembling. "But it's not that simple, Jeremy. It's not just 'someone else.'"I took a deep breath, the words catching in my throat. "It's…it's Don Antonio."The silence that followed was deafening. Jeremy's eyes widened, his expression shifting from hurt to disbelief, then to something akin to shock."Don Antonio? The Don Antonio?" he repeated, his voice barely

My Godfather is my Soulmate 60. The Morning After

Sunlight, unwelcome and harsh, pierced through the gap in my curtains, making me groan and bury my face deeper into the pillow.Slowly, reluctantly, I dragged myself back to consciousness. Fragmented memories of the previous night flickered through my mind – the devastating call with Claire, the numbing burn of the scotch, the heavy descent into oblivion. A wave of nausea washed over me, a physical reminder of my self-destructive spiral.With a sigh, I reached for my phone on the nightstand. The screen lit up, displaying a string of missed calls. Several from Don Antonio. My heart gave a painful lurch. He had tried to reach me. Multiple times.

My Godfather is my Soulmate 59. Escalating Fears

Terminated, effective immediately.The clinicality of the words sent a fresh wave of panic surging through me. Donald’s anger was clearly far more intense than I had even imagined. To cut Alexa off from her career, from her own standing within his empire, was a brutal and decisive act. It spoke of a complete severing of ties, a public denouncement that chilled me to the bone.My first thought, as always, was for Alexa. How was she coping with this? Was she alone? Was she scared?

My Godfather is my Soulmate 57. Inevitable
Alexa’s POV The moment I stepped into my father's office, the atmosphere was thick with a cold, simmering rage that was more terrifying than any shouting.

Elsie came in at some point and stood silently to the side, her expression a strange mix of uncertainty and vindication.Before I could even open my mouth to ask what was wrong, what the urgent matter was, his hand shot out with lightning speed.
