Sofia's POVI was awakened the next morning by the knock on the door and my eyes blinked open to see the environment.Although I spent a long time reflecting on what James had said, I managed to get sleep eventually.Groaning, I stretched my toes and fingers before yawning out, "If that's you, James. Come in"The door wasn't locked so an intruder wouldn't bother to know and make me away of his entry.The door creaked open with a loud noise and James was standing at the entrance.My vision was still blurred but I recognized his frame from a distance."I thought you might be hungry and would like to have breakfast before our journey, Princess " James revealed to me as he stepped into the room and carefully shut the door behind me.I rubbed my eyes to see clearly and saw him clearly, coming with breakfast indeed."What's the time?" I groaned, sitting properly and he dropped the serving tray on a stool just at the side of my bed.I couldn't turn my device on to set an alarm knowing a call
Clancy's POVI paced around at the entrance to the intensive care unit of the hospital and occasionally turned to look through the transparent glass of the room where Sonia was being operated on by the Doctors.This wasn't the first time Sonia survived an injury this bad so I'm not worried about her life knowing she would be mysteriously bouncing on her feet the next day.Sofia was the one I was worried about.My heart is not at rest and I still comprehend what my eyes saw back at the secret exit that is not supposed to be known to her.Sonia had earlier called me to inform me about the discovery of the rat who turns out to be James."If those men are truly connected to the Karts then James is not just foolishly messing with our systems from above. He must be connected to them as well and with his last known location, I think I know where he is headed. Meet me at the at the underground exit 2.0 immediately.... "James? I trusted that son of a b¡tch.He has been working for the McCain
Sofia's POVMy head was hurting and heavy the moment my eyes opened to see the blurry environment.I moaned gently in pain and made to touch my head only to realize my hands were restrained behind me.Not again. I waited a moment for my vision to stabilize and got to see the white walls of the room I was in.I was seated on a metal chair and, had my hands and feet locked to it with chains.Fvck!My head rolled around and I got to see the glass wall behind me with several masked men staring at me from the other end.They were armed with rifles and on the same dress code; Black Biker's outfit and the mask were that of a smiling white skull. Scary... Geez!My neck arched from the strain so I realigned to regular and almost immediately the metal door pushed open and one of the masked men entered the room, and dropped a glass table that was filled with all the raw fruits and vegetables one could ever imagine.Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Strawberries, Blueberries, Peaches, Carrots, Avocados
Clancy's POVIt was difficult sleeping that night as Sofia kept appearing when I closed my eyes.It was impossible to take my mind off her after knowing the truth.Sofia has been lying to me just as I lie to her but was her love for me also a lie?No, it can't. Sofia never gave herself freely to me.She was stubborn at first then began making moves at me.Everything just doesn't make sense.The McCain is responsible for the death of her father even though Sonia was the one who executed it.Sofia had many opportunities to murder Sonia but has been a friend of hers and her daughter.Moreover, I kidnapped Sofia to New York against her wish, she didn't sneak herself into my syndicate.I didn't know how I eventually managed to sleep but the next morning I was awakened by Sonia's call. "Tell me you have something" I yawned and rose to a sitting position in expectation. She sighed and after a moment of silence said, "You didn't sleep well, did you? You still have her in your mind"I nodded
Warning!! Chapter contains content that could be considered disturbing... Sofia's POVHow exactly is this Gerald person sick in the head? He just wouldn't listen to me and tried to force out something I had no idea about.If Papá wanted to give me a priceless gift as this, he would wait until I was grown up to be the woman I currently am.Something like this is literally sensitive for an eleven-year-old child who is still trying to understand how life works.He never saw death coming and so, never gave me the code.I'm sure someone like Mr. Pompous would understand my words if he was my kidnapper.He isn't a dummy like Gerald or whatever the fvck he calls himself.The masked men soon returned with a metal box and a long hose pipe that was stretched into the room.He collected the hose and turned to face me with an annoying smile on his face."I started with your uncle using this, and then he forced me into upgrading to the next level. Let's make this easier, tell me and we don't have
Warning!! Chapter contains content that could be considered disturbing... Sofia's POV Knowing this, I slowly moved to the bed and had my seat.There was no use of reasoning with the real definition of a psycho." Good "He gulped lustfully and took off his shoes before saying," Take off your clothes.. Now! "I did not hesitate to. It's funny I wasn't in tears or feeling emotional.My eyes were fixed on him as I unbuttoned my shirt and dropped it.I removed my skirt so I was now on bra and panties alone.No, I wasn't shy, shivering, or scared.My gaze was fearless knowing the latter would not help my situation."Haha... Wonderful" He laughed like a madman, "You have suddenly become obedient""I love dominant men" My throat arched and his brows furrowed in confusion, "What?""I love powerful men. They are sexy " My voice was seducing and he was getting more confused, looking around frantically.When he wasn't laughing, it meant my words were getting into his head and having an effect.
Sofia's POV Was it a good fate to be kidnapped by the Eastern gang?One minute I was held captive to be handed over to the Tree and the other, I am now the gang leader of the group.Fvcking hell!I don't even know what to do right now with the position.I've been an innocent person my entire life and even taking over the throne of my father is something that worries my mind.Can I be my father?As I moved down the corridor, the armed masked men swarmed around me with the burnt-faced one moving up closely and instructing some to spread the information of a new leader to the branches they had in North America.He already stated his reasons for helping him so I needed not to ask questions."Where did you keep my Uncle?" I asked him and his brows furrowed."Your Uncle... Who is that?" The burnt-faced seemed to have no idea of who I was talking about."He was taken captive ten years ago by the Eastern gang" I explained and his face soon brightened.He cleared his throat, "Do you talk abou
Clancy's POV"Drive faster!" I yelled at the driver who I was seated with in the vehicle and he hit the accelerator further with fear written all over his face.My fingers tapped gently below the window and I tried to control my breathing.I was scared for Sofia. Scared they might have harmed her before I got there.Seeing her hurt will definitely plunge my soul into an endless madness.No one is permitted to make her cry.Soon enough, the vehicle came to a halt in front of the Eastern gang base and I alighted immediately.I pulled the pistol behind me and raised my head to see choppers hovering around the base, letting down ropes to aid my armed men to come sliding down the moment I gave the order.I pulled half of my military support in New York to fight with me so more were coming to overpower the gang with me.This was my last chance to get on Sofia's good side and I won't screw it up.I connected an earpiece and cleared my throat, "On my mark... Rain them with all you got"With t
Sofia's POV"Sofia..."Oh my God.. She knows it's me.How? How exactly?"Why do you speak like Sofia?" She added and this made me stare directly at her, beads of sweat still scattered all over my forehead."Are you alright?" Her little voice asked me and I managed to calm myself down.A sigh of relief that my cover wasn't blown but I'm under the suspicion of a child.She must have noticed from the way I communicate with her but how is that still possible?I trained myself for months... years... to change the way I act and communicate with people when using my Aurora DE Santa identity.Aurora DE Santa is supposed to be someone else entirely.Did I let my emotions slip in and allow Sofia to surface a little?Oh shit. Fvck me!"Sofia...?" I laughed nervously and rubbed the side of my face.Lily let down her head and played with the helm of her dress, "Yes. She used to be lovely like you""And I speak like her?" I scratched the back of my head nervously."I think I'm just missing her and-
Sofia's POVShe blinked her ocean-blue eyes at me and the two men stared at each other before staring at me.I opened my mouth and made to come up with the best lie ever."You! Are you Aurora DE Santa?" Lily's face brightened as she stared even closer at me, "You are Aurora DE Santa, the beautiful woman who makes a lot of games"Her mouth opened and I could see a smile forming on her face.I sighed in relief and nodded with a small smile on my face.Aurora Technologies also dealt with the mass production of new software every month which includes games.And yes, mobile games for children too.My face is now on everything in newspapers and online news outlets so I'm not surprised at being recognized easily.Lily embraced me and I felt my heart stopped beating at that moment.She had really grown and could even touch my waist now. Tears covered my eyes and emotions whirled inside of me because of the contact with her.This feeling of her hug since five years ago.It felt special and go
Sofia's POVI was pacing around in the room, from one end of the wall to the other with my fist tightly clenched.How dare he?How dare Clancy McCain think he can do whatever he wants?For a moment, it felt like I was under his control and wanted to break free but he is ever cunning to know the right words to use.I couldn't imagine him taking over my room and going through my things.Apart from him seeing my underwear which is of great concern to me and would make my face hot when I think about it, he might find out about my identity because of my gadgets that can be linked to Tuscany."Your Highness, your system is connected" Giada pulled me out of my thoughts from the bed where she was seated with my laptop.I collected the system from her and glanced at the phone in her hand."The code stopped running, broken or something. The CCTV server might not be active right now?" She told me.I took the phone from her and made adjustments to the program I was running, "The storage appeared
Clancy's POV I had a lot to think of and figure out as I entered the Night Moon Hotel and made my way to the elevator but stopped because of the noise in the lobby. I was angry and looked around to see the hotel manager having a heated conversation with two women and the security team with him seem to be ready to take action at any moment. I was going to ignore them when I caught a glimpse of the side of one of the woman's face and a gulp went down my throat. Now my attention was gotten. Aurora DE Santa. I adjusted my suit and walked towards them when the manager of the hotel noticed my presence. He quickly rushed over to me and acted polite with a smile on his face, "Mr. McCain, I didn't know you were around. I was about to send this women away" "Send us away. What the fvck are you talking about?" The other woman with Aurora had stepped out to throw a tantrum but when her eyes met with mine, she shrank away. I've seen them hanging around too often so they must be really close
Sofia's POV"What are you smiling about? Did you find a cute little boyfriend down here?" Giada's tone was a little suspicious as she spoke to me from the front seat where she was driving.I lifted my head from the screen of my phone and snorted coldly, "Don't say nonsense, Giada. I'm a mother of four, not some Italian sugar mama. Moreover, I'm still in my twenties"She laughed hysterically, "You are the richest woman in the world so there's definitely no restriction to you. What do you think?""I'll send you back to Tuscany" I threatened her playfully."Alright, Queen. You got all the power" Giada became quiet and concentrated on her driving.I smiled softly and returned my gaze to the screen of my phone to see the reply from my mysterious American friend.'Dead? Do you want me dead?'The smile on my face broadened as I asked him through the text, 'Are you not angry? I snubbed you for the longest time''As long as it makes you happy' His response was quick.I rubbed the roof of my no
Clancy POVI guess I knew this wasn't right from the beginning.It never was.Everything sane about me must have died the moment Sofia left me and I seize to care about whatever madness goes on in me.If I have to go out of my way to get vengeance, I'll do just that.There's nothing left of me that matters."Yeah! Fvck me, that's just the way I want it!" She moaned insanely as I pounded her recklessly from behind but my mind was absent.I felt nothing for her.She was simply a tool for me to get what I wanted.My hand was wrapped around her hair and I had her face pressed against the bed.There was no holding back as I released all of my frustration on her but it turned out that was just what she wanted.To be handled recklessly.Such an insane woman.I finally climaxed and collapsed to the bed with her body pressed against mine.For a minute, I was overwhelmed with the guilt of betraying Sofia for the second time but the next minute, I felt nothing anymore.We're not together anymore
Sofia's POV "Here... I got this for you" Giada slid a cup of coffee across the table in my direction and I raised my head from the screen of my laptop to see her."Are you alright?" She inquired with a concerned look and I first responded with a shrug of my shoulders."Of course I am""You just canceled our meeting with the richest man in Los Angeles so don't tell me you're alright. But then, you know best and you should take enough rest. C'mon, I'll drive us to the hotel" She beckoned at me."Give me a few more minutes, G" I returned my gaze to the screen and stared endlessly at the reply I had given to Sarah's message on the dark web.I was waiting patiently for her response but it wasn't coming forth.Just when I made to close the system, her message pinged in and I had my seat again.'Hey, I was away for a while'I sighed and typed my response quickly. 'That's fine. Are you free now? I just need you to answer a couple of questions for me''Okay. Shoot' Her reply was instant.'The
Clancy's POV "Do you think I'm joking?" I was going to lose my patience soon and do something I'm not supposed to do.Now Rosita was the only one I knew who could tell me the information I wanted but more importantly, killing her wasn't an option.I won't even get the opportunity to avenge my sister because the full force of the syndicate will be unleashed on me.She knew this and that's just why she can act fearless around me.Not even a gun to her face would make her flinch."What the fvck do you want?" I gritted my teeth, grabbed her by the arm and raised her from the bed."What I want is something you're refusing to give me" She placed her fingers on my shoulder but I slapped them off."I can give you the name, Clancy. He is not someone you can't take on with your current influence. You should know that already. The high ranking members of the high table are like gods of this world. I know what it feels like to have your loved one killed by one of them. Don't you think you need m
Clancy's POVThe noise of gunshot echoed in the air as the man I shot rolled over the staircase until he slumped dead to the ground with a soft thud and was soaked in his own pool of blood.I walked down the staircase and looked down the hallway to see the blood-stained wall on both sides.The bodies of the men I had killed were scattered all over the narrow floor and I walked around to make sure no one was still alive."Guess this is all..." Whispering, I tucked back my gun behind me. I entered my room and put a call through to the manager of the hotel."Boss, should we send your breakfast over now?" I asked quickly."No. I called to give you an instruction. No one is allowed on the top floor until I give you permission to. Not even the cleaners or room service. I'll send a woman to the top floor, she'll give you my name and you'll let her through "The Hotel manager didn't reply immediately." Yes... Yes... I'll keep that in mind, Mr. McCain ""Not even you are allowed on the top fl
