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"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish till death do us part, I, Clancy McCain, take you, Sofia Dante, to be my legally wedded wife, to have and to keep, from this day forward" I smiled crazily with red cheeks as Mr. Pompous read his vows while holding my hands with his green eyes fixed directly at mine.Even on our wedding day, he still chooses to be in his regular dress code.He can wear it as many times as he wants as long as he looks perfect for me."If anyone here objects to this holy union, speak now or forever hold your peace"The old voice of the priest who stood in front of us announced to the congregation and I wasn't even listening to him anymore. All I wanted was to kiss this pompous devil right now.This was all I ever wanted; to be with him forever."I do" A recognizable voice echoed from the congregation and instantly my heart quaked with unexplainable fear.My legs went jelly and I broke my eye conta
Clancy's POVI collapsed into the rocky chair and made to pick up the newspaper by my side when the phone in my hand buzzed.It was a message from Sonia which reads 'I believe you're up now'She was no doubt the knocker who left earlier.With a deep sigh, I moved to the door and unlocked it to see Sonia standing outside with a bright smile on her face."Wonderful night I believe" Her shoulder brushed into mine as she walked into the room and I closed the door behind us.There was something about her voice."Especially one well spent with a blonde with luminous green eyes" Sonia added as she rolled her eyes over my bed and that was when I understood where she was headed.She would stop at nothing to prove herself right on this occasion."What are you talking about?" I feigned ignorance with a long face that was supposed to discourage her from continuing but typical Sonia was not moved.She turned to me with a smirk at the corner of her mouth. "I saw her sneaking out of this room just a
Sofia's POVI entered the departmental building and exhaled heavily, having hold my breath from the front desk where I escaped further questions from Mia.The office was empty making me realize we might have been a little bit early today.My eyes dart to the table clock and my jaw dropped on seeing it was thirty-five minutes to work time.That Dev-- Pompous man made me believe I was holding him late and hurried me up to work this morning because I had no phone to tell the time.Hish! I collapsed into my work chair and made to drop my handbag when I noticed the piece of paper laying not far from the flower vase.I doubted the content my eyes saw, so I picked quickly for myself and looked deeply.Just one sentence that sent my heart pounding dangerously for fear.My fingers vibrated and I could feel molecules of sweat forming on my forehead despite the active cooling system in the building.'Hello Princess' was the message.Left on my desk at a point that could easily be seen.Who the h
