Sofia's POVI woke up that afternoon with an empty stomach and rolled on my bed for a moment before opening my eyes to see the walls of my room.For a moment, I forgot this was my captor's mansion and when I remember, I wished I could go back to my former life.It was fvcking boring, yeah, but people didn't get to die because of me.To think I was happy he had moved my room to this place but at what cost?I still fail to understand why he murdered my landlord and the tenants.It just didn't make sense.Did he have a dispute with them regarding moving my things out or he was just trying to prove a point to me?I had a painful headache. The same ache that sent me to sleep off after crying my eyes out.It was difficult trying to think like a murderer.Maybe I was blinded by his good look to keep forgetting he is a Mafia man.He's the Devil in an Armani.I sniffed and rolled to a sitting position, burying my head between my head.Now I hated him for real. Everything I felt before and susp
How can my heart be disappointed it wasn't Mr. Pompous?I took a deep breath and refreshed my brain, recalling I hated him now."Hey, I didn't want to disturb your sleep," Dale told me and then sat at the side of my bed.I moved my legs so I don't stain his white shirt with them' before dragging my butt to a sitting position."Dale..?" I mumbled even though I recognized him well.I just wasn't expecting to wake up and find him in my room.He licked his lower lip and nodded, "Miss Sofia, it's been a while"I forced a smile and nodded."I've not been around. I should have come earlier" Dale said to me and my brows furrowed."You don't have to" I responded to him.I don't know but this conversation was becoming awkward.He said it like it was a responsibility."You said yourself, Sofia. I got you into this, you're in it because of me""Are you taking responsibility now?" I demanded looking and his calm face.He shrugged and answered, "I guess so but still, I cannot help you leave, Sofia.
Clancy's POVI stood outside the mansion with my hands in my pocket and blinked my eyes, inhaling the fresh breeze that blew in the environment. Soon, footsteps resounded behind me and Dale came to stand beside me with a briefcase in his hand. "Will an attractive sorry ease your mind?" He mumbled calmly, not looking at my face."I'm not angry. You're my Brother. Flops tend to occur in business" There was a dispute at the West border regarding the import of our products into the territory and Dale was there to ensure calm to the problem and ensure the border was overseen professionally as usual. Only James is feed information by my team behind the screen regarding the competitors outside the territory who tried to sneak their products into the country. James' responsibility was to intercept them at the western border by making sure the usual search is done properly by the assigned team but I gave him another job to handle.Due to his absence at the border, disputes arouse and the
Sofia's POVI finished breakfast alone and handed over the repaired laptop to the maid to help return to Mr Pompous who I was scared to meet.As I walked back to my room, I looked at the ink on my palm and beamed a bright smile.Dale turns out to be useful after all.I tried the password given by Dale and it connected to my system successfully but I quickly disconnected after confirmation.I've learned lately not to underestimate Mr Pompous so I'll be careful.If he checks the users connected to the Mansion WIFI daily then he would see me too.I have to find a way to hack it and make my presence invisible.It would take longer to do even though I had the password but it's worth it.Having the password makes my entry easier and that's why I wanted to get it first.I can hack the WIFI to get the password but unlike what's shown in movies, it could take weeks to achieve, probably for me. I made to get to work when a knock sounded on the door and I lifted my head, knowing full well it wa
Clancy's POVI sat in front of the monitor watching the footage of Sofia's room.She has been under the duvet for the past five hours and has not lifted her head once.Theresa had reported to me that afternoon that her door was locked and no avail could be made to make her open up.She wanted Sofia to come out for lunch.I waved her off believing Sofia would come out when she wants to and went ahead to watch her room footage to see what she was up to.I rewind to the moment she arrived in her room after we meet in the hallway with Lily around my neck.Sofia came in sobbing and slumped into the bed where she cried for minutes.Somehow, what happened in the hallway had a psychological impact on herI told Lily to stay away from her, Is that enough reason to be broken down?The Sofia Dante I know is stubborn and would not cry over small talk.Lily called me 'Dad' in her presence, could that also be a reason for her to cry?Does she think Lily is my daughter?Even if she thinks so, Sofia
Sofia's POVSeeing him here was the last thing I expected.After crying under the duvet all day, I finally step out to quench my thirst only to bump into this devil.The same way I bumped into him after trying to step out of my isolated lifestyle.He kept appearing everywhere I go to.Difficult to shake off.I would have stayed under the duvet for as long as I can but soon realized my tears would change nothing.He was with Sonia and they had a daughter together.Heart-shattering.Does that mean Sonia lied to me? She said she would buy me a drink if I managed to make Mr. Pompous my boyfriend.Was she mocking me knowing full well it's impossible?She looked sincere when she spoke to me.Could it also be that the only thing they had together was the child and there was no relationship? His baby mama.But she claims she has never had sex with him before.I don't even know what to think or believe anymore.A good reason I've decided to put myself together and move on.Mr Pompous is not th
Sofia's POVSarah's reply came fast, 'Haha... Even your ghost is sick in da head. Wassup girl, I truly thought you are dead. The hospital won't let anyone identify the bodies. I've been crying for days now'My eyes darkened and I typed speedily, 'So it's true. I can't find anything on the web'Sarah: Why do we explore the dark web Sofia? One of the benefits, the government doesn't have political control over it.Me:???I had no idea where she was headed until I saw her next message.Sarah: Everything regarding the incident is being flagged as false information on the internet. You can't post pictures relating to the mass murder, your post gets taken down in minutes if you successfully bypass the flagging system and you get banned from the platform. People in high places don't want the news to get out. The government is the one that I believe had such a government. I'm not talking about the legal government, Soffy, you know what I mean? "Me: The underground?She could only refer to th
Clancy's POV"Drive Safely, Boss..." The security men at the Underground parking lot of my company bowed gently before I drove off speedily in my crimson-colored Lamborghini.I increased the volume of the radio and nod my head slowly to the tone of the music while striding foot on the gas.It's a new week. Sunday to be precise. I've been away from home to personally attend to the situation at the Border.Sometimes the King had to remind the subordinates that their lives are in his hands.They must continuously remember that their loyalty has been sworn, to serve in complete obedience to the Master, me.Calm was restored and I returned to my office this morning to handle a few issues that needed to be taken care of.I would have returned to the mansion but I had an operation to handle that night so I stayed until now.I checked my watch to see the time.9 PM.Just what I wanted. I guess I'll finally get to see Sofia again, It's been about five days without seeing or hearing her voice.
