Sofie's POV"Fuck, no." I cursed in frustration as a guy abruptly breezed past me, causing me to drop my wallet on the floor which made everything inside it pour out on the floor."Hey, watch where you are going." I yelled after him but he didn't even bother to look in my direction.Stupid brat, I seethed, darting his retreating back a glare before I averted my focus back to my wallet."Are you alright?" Katie asked, crouching down beside me and helping me grab my stuff from the floor."Yeah, I'm alright." I affirmed, getting up from the floor and dusting my wallet."Woah, you have a black card?" Katie gasped as I slid the plastic card into my wallet, and I just nodded in response as my thoughts strayed to Roman for the nth time that day.It had been two days since his abrupt confession and I still couldn't bring myself to look at him because something within me thought I didn't deserve to be loved at all, much less by a handsome billionaire like him.Even though I mostly replied to a
Roman's POV"Nana, Sofie is here to see you." I announced as I walked into Nana's hospital room with Sofie.I willed the despondence that threatened to hitch my throat as Nana tried but unfortunately failed to sit up by herself away, and went over to help her up after propping two pillows behind her back, to make her comfortable."Thank you, mio figlio." She smiled weakly as she rubbed my cheeks.I sighed heavily as I watched her frail hands beckon Sofie over for a hug; She had really emaciated a lot.I badly wanted to get mad at her for conspiring with her butler, and servants to withhold the fact that she'd been collapsing frequently from me. She had claimed she didn't want to make me worry over something intangible.She looked so thin and weak, and her extremely sickly appearance worried me so much but at least, she could still breathe on her own, to my utter relief which made me hopeful that she'd be fine again."Oh, my darling Sofie, how have you been? I hate that we're meeting
Sofie’s POV "Thanks for the hug. I really needed it." Roman muttered, withdrawing from my embrace and darting me a smile that didn't quite crease his eyes."There's no need for you to thank me, Roman. I'm always here for you whenever you need me, okay?" I said, smiling wanly at him.He just nodded before clasping his hands together, and staring into space with a melancholic mien.I sighed as I watched him. He looked so vulnerable which really broke my heart. I thought about how I had literally rejected his feelings in front of his grandmother and guilt instantly tanged my heart.I really was a jerk."Nana is the only family I have left, I don't want her to die. She can't just go like that, I won't allow that to happen. Even that means I have to bring in the best specialists from every country in the world to have a look at her. I won't mind doing so, as long as she would live." Roman suddenly said, breaking the silence."Don't worry too much about it, Nana wouldn't like that. I know
Roman's POV I was beyond smitten with Sofie. I smiled in adoration as I watched her wake up from her sleep with a loud yawn and a big stretch. "What time is it?" She yawned. "Good morning to you too." I playfully huffed before pressing a light kiss to her lips. She giggled, "Hope you slept well?" "I should be the one asking you that question, doll." I smirked as my eyes took in the image of her disheveled hair and the dark red hickeys scattered around her neck and body. As I pounded into her last night, I had yanked her by her hair while she screamed my name aloud with her back arched. I had never been more thankful for soundproofing the entire house like I was yesterday night. The lewd thoughts of the previous night drifted into my mind, causing heat to pool in my guts as I stared at her. Her face reddened as she weakly punched my chest, "Shut up." "You weren't saying that last night, doll." I teased and she made to pull herself away from my hold, with her pretty face cont
Sofie's POV"Wow, ma'am. You look really pretty in that outfit. Red is really your color." Natalie gushed as I walked down the stairs.It was the day Roman and I were going on a date.I felt really nervous because that was my first date ever, and I didn't want to mess things up.I laughed, gazing down at my outfit which consisted of a strapless red silk figure-hugging dress that stopped just above my knees, coupled with silver heels paired with a silver clutch bag. I also accessorized the outfit with the engagement ring and cartier bracelet combo while my hair freely fell on my shoulder, in brown, loose curls."You think?" I chuckled."Yes of course, ma'am. The color accentuates your beautiful, spotless skin. You are really stunning, madam Sofie. I'm sure the young master will be blown away when he sees you." She said, shaking her head as she eyed me in awe."Thanks for the compliment. It really means a lot, by the way, where is Melissa?" I asked, glancing around the room for the old
Roman's POV"Are you sure this menu is in English? Because I literally can't pronounce most of the dishes here." Sofie said, causing me to chuckle.I watched her raise the menu again with a frown etching her ethereal features,, and I couldn't help but be swooned all over again."Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" She asked, placing the menu on the table."Yes, beauty. Lots of it." I casually said.Damien was right, I was really the biggest simp in the world for Sofie."Please never say stuff like that again." Sofie muttered, rolling her eyes as a waitress stopped at our table."A lovely evening to you sir and ma. I hope the ambiance is cozy enough for your comfort." She said, a business smile curving her lips upward.I nodded, "Yes, thank you.""My pleasure, sir. Are you ready to have dinner yet?" "Yes, I am." I said, "I'll have filet mignon." She wrote it down on a small jotter before averting her gaze on Sofie whose lips were wordlessly moving with a squint
Sofie's POV"You are so fucking beautiful for me, tesoro." Roman growled into the crook of my neck as I climbed onto his lap and roughly dry-humped him.My head was too far high up in the clouds of erotic delectation for me to give him a coherent response, so I just settled on moaning loudly as he bit and licked my neck.Unbuckling his belt, I freed his cock from the shackles of his pants and slowly started jerking him off. I really wanted to get down on my knees to fully take him in my mouth and have him splatter his cum over my face but whatever pleasuring thing he was doing with his mouth to my neck made the thought dissipate as I momentarily released his dick, angled my neck closer to his lips before wrapping my hands around his neck.While he trailed hickeys after hickeys down my neck, his hands strayed downward to roll my dress upward at a frustratingly slow pace; he was hellbent on teasing me until I broke."Faster please." I grunted when he finally slid his hands into my pant
Roman's POV"What do you mean the charity gala is taking place this evening?" I spat, glaring at the overtly-designed invitation card that Nathan placed on my desk."I'm sorry, sir. I brought it to your notice last week, so I thought you were aware of it, that's why I didn't call to remind you about it yesterday, sir." Nathan said, and bowed.I inhaled deeply as I massaged my forehead. "So what time exactly is it happening?""You still have about two hours left, sir. It won't begin until five in the evening and it's about fifteen minutes to three now."I groaned in frustration. "For fuck's sake, how could I have forgotten about something so damn important?"He bowed once more. "By the way, the event coordinator told me to inform you that it's compulsory to bring a plus one and since almost everyone in the country knows about your fiancée, the chairwoman instructed me to tell you to take her with you." I raised an eyebrow, "When did she tell you that?*"I just got off the phone with h
