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--
It wasn't just the story of a random person. It was Sonia Quinn's.She saw the look on my face and slowly nodded with a bitter smile, "Yes. It's me. I always wanted to kill him even if I died doing it... His men raped me 551 times and he did 49 times... I've been counting each time they had their way. I know I was never going to be the same person at the end of it, I was a broken useless woman and he really thinks a few days of love from him would magically brainwash me. You know people say after they take revenge they don't feel any better or different, yes, I was still the same woman who would be forever ashamed to be with a good man knowing-- " She halts sharply and shook her head, "My virginity is not restored, my life would only get worse but at least, I made the world one less of a bad monster like him. I don't care if his emotion towards me was truly changed. His family did not kill me, instead, they kept me with the plan to do it once I delivered his child, the heir of the fam
Sofia's POVI'm sure he could see my red cheeks so I shyly covered and took a peak to see the unchanging cold gaze he wore."I didn't ask you to seat there" His words were firm and I wore a frown that made my cheeks become normal.He wanted me to take the chair but, I pout my lips and shook my head."Don't push my hands, Sofia.." Mr Pompous warned me with murderous stares from him but I wasn't moved a bit."You're forgetting you're injured..." I reminded and moved my gaze to his well-bandaged arm.Fury flashed across his eyes and he rose to a seating position making me prepare in case he tried to attack."Are you here to mock me? I asked for Sonia not you " He told me with an arrogant look on his face."Well, Sonia is not available.." It was impossible not to peak a gaze at his exposed chest and the narrow line that ran down his stomach.Freaking hot! I bit my lower lip again.He caught me staring, oh fvck!His expression was dark and I scratched the back of my neck when he asked, "Ho
Sofia's POV Before I realized what was going on, my hands have been cuffed to the headboard restricting the movement of my arms. Holy shit! What are handcuffs doing in his bedroom? Was he an undercover cop or something? I dared not mention a word about it. All I could do was run my eyes around his fine frame and be mesmerized by it. I was high on his man. Mr. Pompous cuffed my legs to the lower edges of the bed before plucking off the needle attached to his wrist.I gasped in shock and couldn't help but say, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" The bag was half filled, meaning he needed to get everything into his system but he just interrupted the transfusion process.His frame hovered over my still body and he sniffed my neck like a predator preparing to devour a terrified prey.The thought of struggling with his cuffs did not even flash through my head for a moment.If this happened days before, I'll scream like a scaredy fox and feared he would do something bad to me.Prob
Clancy's POV"Fvck!" I cursed under my breath as I glared furiously at the bulge in my pants.It's been ten minutes since I left Sofia Dante to this hallway and this johnny is yet to shrink.That Senorita had turned me on in a way I've never felt before and the urge to turn her over and fvck her face down was strong.But then, she must kneel before I do so.I might have bent a little when it comes to Sofia but on this aspect, she won't get what she wants freely.She is stubborn and needs to understand that she cannot always get what she so desires.I never planned on touching her, did not even think about having her barge into my room but here I am with a bulge that refuses to go down. Sofia's seduction is so strong that she doesn't even realize it herself. Her presence alone is enough to get a man craving madly for her. Maybe it's just me alone and not everyone because I never felt this way when I first met her. I felt something over time but it has gotten so bad right now.My ob
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
