Sofia's POV"Lorenzo has been taken care of, thanks to you. Katrina Esposito will be the new governor of the Bank of the Republic Of Italy" The president had received my call immediately when I called and hearing this, he first went silent then blurted out, "Katrina Esposito? Isn't that his secretary? I have a better candidate to take over his position and serve you"I scoffed internally and said, "No, I choose Katrina and it stays that way. Do you have a problem with that?"The president's loyalty will no doubt waver at some point in time so I need someone I trust and not one of his people."If that is what you want. I'll sign a decree for her appointment...She just needs to assume the position thereafter""I'll be waiting" I replied and then hung up the call to contact Gloria but Katrina interrupted, "That voice sounds familiar... That can't be the president, right?"Katrina was still standing, refusing to believe that she could be the governor in the blink of an eye. I didn't res
Sofia's POVThe Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a halt at the intersection that led to the cancer research institute and I tilted my head to Katrina who had her fingers wrapped around the steering wheel.A smile curved at the corner of her lips the moment she noticed and a brief exhale left her lips."How do you feel?" I asked, my brows slightly raised.Just as I predicted, she was a good driver, better than my chauffeur assigned by Gloria. "I..." She stammered, "I don't know. I was scared at first" Katrina chuckled briefly and added, "Thank you, Miss" "Call me Sofia" "Miss Sofia" Katrina grinned and unlocked the door. "Take care, Katrina, and if you ever encounter a problem, don't hesitate to call me," I told her and she first responded with a nod, then said, "I don't know why you've taken an interest in me but thank you, Miss Sofia" She bowed her head slightly in respect and stepped out of the vehicle. Almost immediately, my chauffeur entered the vehicle and said, "I hope you wer
Clancy's POVI was looking haggard and disappointed when I arrived at the mansion all by myself that night.After spending the entire day searching for Sonia, I still couldn't find her even with the help of Matteo who could access virtually all CCTV in New York.Sonia had taken into one of our blind spots and vanished without any digital footprint left.My only fear was Sonia going after Sofia in Italy.The latter was now the Di Marco Princess and the power she wields is typically unfathomable.If Sonia was with her device, she should have seen the global notice already and irrational behavior was no longer an option.I walked down the red carpet that led into the living room and unannounced, Little Lily jumped out of nowhere and hugged my legs."Daddy! Daddy! Where have you been? I've been crying" I went low to level with her height and noticed her eyes were red indeed with a trail of dry tears down her cheeks.My heart sank low for a moment and the first sentence that I muttered was
Sofia's POVI was awakened from my sleep by the buzzing noise of my phone and I yawned loudly before turning to the other side of the bed.Who could it be?I managed to pick up my phone and realized the caller was Mr. Romano from the newly purchased company, SuperNet Technologies."Hey..." I moaned out, feeling tired, and noticed the time was 10 a.m.Fvcking hell! Have I been in bed since 9 p.m. last night?Unbelievable!My bones arched me still and the feeling of tiredness was heavy on me.Shouldn't I be relieved after such a long sleep?What's going on with my system?"Young Miss, there are some people causing trouble at the office now. They claim they are your people and intend to continue the cell tower project behind the building. I've been trying to reach you" Mr. Romano explained and I could hear a noisy commotion in the background.I had forgotten to tell him about it yesterday."Yes, Mr. Romano. They would be handling the cell tower project from now so give them the necessary
Sofia's POV"Mistress, what are your orders at the moment?" Carl's voice sounded from the other end of the phone as I sat on my bed and took my heels off.No one has made any communication to the Tree syndicate since they arrived at the new spot in San Bernardino and that shows the gang was clear of spies now.I called Carl immediately after I arrived at the mansion from the Rome.It was dark already and I was going to bed after the call."You're all clear now, Carl. Gather the Eastern gang tonight in a location I'll provide and be prepared for transportation to Italy where the Tree syndicate cannot touch you""Miss, is it safe now? Those you mentioned as snitches are really guilty after investigation. All 57 of em'. There could be more" Carl told me his worries and I couldn't help but beam a smile, "Like I said, you're clear now. The longer you stay in North America, the harder it can become to take you all out""Understood, Mistress. I'll contact the elders of the various branches o
Sofia's POV"Fvck! Fvck! Fvck!" I cursed, slamming my hands on the keyboard of my laptop.My breathing was heavy as I dropped the system and picked up my phone to check the time.It was 5 pm already and my stomach twirled with intense hunger causing my eyes to be red.I've been on my computer since early that morning, trying to override the passcode that protected the drive but all my trial was to no avail. I've overridden several security setups and gained unauthorized access to well-protected software but never in my cyber exploits have I come across a blockade so difficult to trick. The security protocol predicts every move of mine and adjusts to cover the entry point I manage to create. Who under the earth could do something this good? Was Papá also unique with computers when he was alive? Right now, I was frustrated and on my last foot.I've tried everything possible to my capability but the situation remains unchanged.I guess Papá was supposed to give me the password befor
Sofia's POV"No! No! No! " I was screaming insanely with my legs widely spread on the bed.Right now, my mind was in a mess and I wasn't even conscious of how crazy I was acting at the moment.I was stark naked on the bed, checking my vagina for the slightest trace of menses but there was nothing.Clean as my sexy lips.A late period. Could I be pregnant?No way... There is no way!We've always used a condom except for a few times when we are not close to one and the heat of the moment takes over.Our last sex was in the kitchen where I was making pancakes naked as early as 6 a.m. thinking he wouldn't be up early.Long story short, I cum all over the floor and we stayed in each other's arms for minutes.He always pulled out whenever he wasn't on a condom and I thought I was safe.Was I careless the entire time?Or could it be when we had a broken condom situation because of the sex style we embarked on?It wasn't my time of the month if I remember vividly.Could it also have been when
Sofia's POVI was pacing inside the room when Gloria's call came in.It's been about ten minutes since she assured me about the capability of the shadow agent."Give me something positive, Gloria" I was still panicking."Of course. The assassin has been successfully captured by the shadow agent. Evidence will be sent to you soon. His phone has been seized and we now have recordings of his conversation with the president""Are you sure about this? There was still an atom of doubt in me."You can give Katrina a call, Your Highness," Gloria told me and I hung the call before contacting Katrina who received the call almost immediately, "Oh my God... Who the hell are you?"Her voice was loud and I couldn't help but say, "It's me, Sofia"She sounded strange right now."I know. I mean what are you? I was scared of you at first but now I'm frightened and I think I'm going to take a piss in my pants" I could hear Katrina's loud panting over the phone and my forehead creased.Gloria said it was
