Sofia's POV It was a new day and the melodious chirping of the birds outside my window could be a sign of a good day and I hoped so.It was tough sleeping the previous night not because I took a nap earlier but because my head was filled with hurting thoughts. I freshened up and Sonia appeared again to invite me for breakfast this time.Mr Pompous didn't join us just like the previous night.Just Sonia, and her daughter who kept stealing glances at me with her small eyes.I beamed a smile at her so she would feel comfortable and not be hostile toward me. Lily eventually returned a smile and her mother who was watching the drama the entire time sighed relief."What's your day going to be like? You'll feel bored when alone in here" Sonia brought up a topic as Maid Teresa cleared the leftovers from the table. "I'm going to the office with Mr..." My lips halt and then continued speaking, "Mr McCain. I've not found a complete solution to a problem I'm trying to fix at the company" I alm
Clancy's POV"Fvck!" I groaned loudly with my eyes shut as I stroke my d¡ck in front of the WC and my teeth were gritted.Porn wasn't working. Only by thinking about that Senorita and sniffing the scent of her pu$$y juice on my fingers.I could imagine her on her knees sucking my d¡ck the previous day."Oh, fvck! Sofia" I released inside the WC and turned to the mirror where I washed my face.The miserable man I've become.I brushed my fingers through my head and for a moment saw a reflection of Sofia in the mirror with a big smile on her face.I turned quickly but there was no one. Fvcking imagination!Sofia came into my life like a wrenching storm and everything has changed since then.That Senorita dares turn me on and walk away after throwing threats at my face.I was no longer the man who would have the slightest thought of pulling a gun at her.She was no longer a prisoner.Sofia is mine now. "My property" I growled and connects a powerful punch to the mirror center.It cracked,
Sofia's POV "Alright Sofia, you can do this" I drained water from my face with the handkerchief in my possession and found my way out of the restroom.Fvcking hell! It was so difficult getting that handsome devil out of my mind.Almost pushed me to fvck myself in the restroom but slapping myself a couple of times helped."Pwww" I exhaled with my eyes shut as I approached the entrance door of the department where I worked in the company. "Today is gonna be a good day" I wished despite knowing I had stepped on the viper's tail and hoped not to be bit.Mr Pompous is unpredictable, so whatever happens, happens.The jealousy in his eyes was all I wanted to see and I got it.He still cares. The pompous, stubborn, son of a-- Geez!I arrived at my work desk and no one realized my presence because they were engrossed on one computer, clustered into themselves with dissatisfying noise.What's happening?I shrugged and had my seat with a deep breath. The movement of my chair seems to have caug
Sofia's POVI groaned out of my sleep and rolled over the bed to get the music off my head but it only got louder.Yawning loudly, I stumbled out of the foam and found my way to the open window where I leaned.From that position, the beats of the song hit the depths of my ears strongly and I was able to view the party taking place at the pool area.Disco lights flashed all over the arena, reflecting the faces of everyone around including the swimming pool where women in bikinis roamed.Is this what a birthday celebration looks like? Fun.This is my first time.I was supposed to be down there right now but after helping Mia in fixing the disco lights, my body grew weak and the women around urged me to take a little sleep.A little sleep and so much had gone already.I looked up at the darkness of the night and a smile curved at the corner of my lips as it brought back an almost forgotten memory.Mr. Pompous had pushed me off a jet during our trip to New York and then rescued me midway
Sofia's POVI don't know how long I've been in my seating position, recalling what the therapist, Every Dennison had said to me.Was Mr. Pompous truly scared of love and the responsibility that comes with it?He isn't willing to share the thoughts of his heart with me so I can never know em'. Only if he lets me in."That--" My thought was interrupted by a voice that I recognized immediately as Mia's. "Hey, I've been searching the entire place for you"I turned to see her approaching in the strapless red gown that wrapped around her silhouette making her look alluring.Her heels caused a satisfying echo until she came to a halt in front of me."Hey..." That was all I could mutter.She beamed a bright smile."You look perfect" I complimented Mia whose cheeks turned red and she sat beside me on the bench.I adjusted my posture so the bench could accommodate us both."Are you bored? Everyone is having fun down here Sofia" She puts her arm around me with her eyes pointing in the direction
Sofia's POVI didn't have time to observe the details of his outfit. Just the stem look on his face as he pocketed his right hand."Like a knight in shining armor.." I almost spilled out but managed to hold back my running tongue.The cologne I perceived earlier. He was around the entire time.My heart felt guilty right now."Did you get drunk and miss your way? Take him away" Trevor laughed as he commanded his men who were already strolling towards Mr Pompous, taking a fight stance but he was calm.They moved to grab him but all happened in the twinkle of an eyes.He pulled his hand from his pocket and targeted it expertly at angles towards the throat of the men.They all dropped to the ground, convulsing, with jabbed needles attached to the sides of their neck.How could he be so fast? Was he the real devil?Everly called him 'The Beast Of New York'My eyes blinked in disbelief as he resumed strolling in my direction with his unwavering gaze fixed on mine. He was less bothered abou
Clancy's POVI never expected the event of tonight to turn this way but it did.Arriving at the location of the birthday party that evening, I was updated with details by my man who was keeping an eye on Sofia for me.When I found her, she was asleep peacefully on the queen-sized bed and I couldn't resist the urge to tug her blonde hair behind her hair and reveal that flushed cheek of hers.I gulped dry air and could feel a heaviness in my heart that cannot be described.Sofia Dante is a drug for me and I'm fvcking high on her.Just the thought of possessing her as mine forever but the consequences could be just behind the door.She moaned to my touch and groaned out, signifying the consciousness of her mind.I couldn't let her know about my presence in the place so I left quickly.How can I take a rest for the day knowing my property is out there without protection?Yes, my men could keep an eye on her but the only one I could ever entrust to keep the Senorita safe is me, fvcking me.
Sofia's POV"Of course...." His husk voice responded to me and a fulfilled smile carved on my small face.His eyes dimmed with determination as he stared directly into mine without any further words.I was scared tonight. Scared that his current level of fury was dangerous and he would hate me.Hatred; the last thing I need from him right now.I listened to my psychotic side to join him in the tub and apologize, hoping he doesn't flare, luckily for me, he has his eyes on me again.Was I so charming to him?Is he in love with my body so badly?But not in love with me, the thought of it alone made my face gloomy but I was quick to mask it with a smile."What's wrong?" Mr. Pompous eyes turned dark as he squat his frame in my direction.There was a hint of empathy in his voice.My eyes blinked, knowing I can't tell him the truth directly, I fear rejection, I fear his response because it was obvious he doesn't want to lift this relationship to the next level.Well, I'll just stick to what
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
