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.
Sofia's POV"Checkmate..." I chuckled lightly as I kicked my opponent's king piece from the cheese board.Slowly, my eyes tilt up to see the eyes of the macho men on me from the different angles they hung around.Tedros still had an angered look plastered on his face because I defeated him twice already.It's Sunday evening. Days after Mr. Pompous left the mansion.I thought he would return today since Teresa claimed he was away until the end of the just concluded week but there has been no sight of him.All these days, I've been making dinner for his men in the building, and at first, it was challenging.They looked down on me thinking I was their Boss' pet but I did not argue.They had no idea I was still a prisoner.They barely eat the first night I prepared and claimed that the meal tasted bad.Teresa says it was good and I had a taste too.I came up with the plan where I cook but Teresa pretends she did and serve them as she usually does.As expected, they hailed her and complime
Sofia's POVHow dare he try to die without telling me the truth of the matter?There entire time I saw him as a complete monster who is irredeemable but it turns out he is only helping me to believe so.Not only did he lie about not saving me from the cell, but he also took the blame for killing my landlord and the tenants.Why? The biggest question I wanted this monster to answer.He can't die and leave me in suspense.No, I won't let him.I heard incoming footsteps behind me and turned to see his gangsters marching towards me with rifles under the leadership of one who I recognized.The dude I kicked at the door.He was still alive. Good. But staggering, must be a painful experience.I saw them slowly raising their weapons and without thinking twice, I picked Mr Pompous ' fallen pistol and turned to them.His body fell from my hand to the ground and he let out a groan."Stand back," I warned, aiming the gun at them with shivering fingers.I was fvcking scared but kept a straight fac
Sofia's POV'Do you have anything new?' After sending the message, I scrolled through my recent chat with Sarah on the dark web and noticed something from the information she had given me the last time.I completely believed the devil in an Armani suit was responsible and did not think much about the mercenaries.Sarah says the information she got says they were Italian mercenaries with classified weapons and the underground government of California had allowed them to escape after the operation.According to Sarah, they might be after some high-tech material but that does that warrant the killing of people.What tech material would be there in the first place?These are many questions I would think about if I didn't hear Sonia spill the truth while thinking Mr. Pompous had received the call.The one thing that rang like a bell was that the only reason I'm not dead is because I'm in Mr Pompous' territory where those mercenaries cannot come. That answers the question of who they came
Sofia's POV"Sofia...." Sonia mumbled my name with a smile on her face.When did she come back? And what is she doing here?"Hey.." I managed to respond. She was here for what had happened to Mr Pompous.The smile made my heart relax a bit. Sofia doesn't look angry so it means the man in Armani suit is alright.It was becoming extremely difficult to call him a devil knowing he is the reason I'm alive.He wasn't trying to protect me when he kidnapped me but he indirectly shielded me from the international assassins. Pwww!"How is he?... I mean how are you?" I stammered, unsure of which to ask first.I was worried about Mr. Pompous but couldn't show it in front of his worker, Sonia.Sonia was good at beaming endless smiles. "He's alright. How are you Sofia?" She redirects my question making me rub the side of my face."I think I'm good" I responded. The look on Sonia's face was indifferent.Without waiting for her to raise the topic, I said quickly, "I didn't do it. Whatever they said--
