Clancy's POVMy phone buzzed just as Sofia alighted from the vehicle and I picked it up to see the incoming call from my mafia mentor.My eyes tilted gently and saw Sofia leaving already so I took the call."Boy..." Mentor Hansel's old voice sounded from the other end of the call and I took a deep breath before responding, "Mentor, I thought we agreed never to speak again"He was silent and then spoke up, "You're right. But you broke the rule when you called. Have you done it?"Maybe calling him was a mistake. He would probably follow this up.I called earlier to know if the McCain rule was flexible and the consequences that come with willful deviation."No, I plan to do it tonight and sleep over it" I lied. Fvck it! I'll never hurt Sofia with my hands, even if I'm drunk. She had penetrated deep into my heart and the one thing left was full acceptance of her into my life, that decision was in my court. Sofia. Killing Sofia is the same as murdering myself.How can I live without her
Sofia's POV'Do you have a brother?'For the first time today, Sarah did not reply immediately but she eventually did.'Are you already imagining what my replicate in male form would look like? Sorry to disappoint but no, Sofia. I don't have one. It's just me'My chest lifted and I minimized the chat to view the images previously sent by Sarah.They were unchanged. Still the female version of the pompous man.How in the name of heaven is this a coincidence?I've seen celebrities look alike on the internet but this resemblance is simply on an impossible level.'Wouldn't you love to see me live an awesome life with your brother?' I hit the send button and a few seconds later, her response came 'It's a 50 to 50, Sofia. Yes, I'll personally be one of your bridesmaids but what's the guarantee you won't infect him with your craziness? Also, your love for me might depreciate'I almost laughed and I sent another message to her, 'I won't love you less, Sarah. I promise, but for the craziness p
Clancy's POVAs I moved down the hallway, I could feel Sofia's stare digging holes into my back.She was obviously shocked I said she was going to be a good mother.Definitely won't view it from the perspective of carrying my kids even though I wasn't going to make a good father.Yes, I was imagining a future with Sofia already despite knowing the consequences that might come with it.I brought out my device and called Sonia as I approached my room.She received my call almost immediately "Is she giving you trouble already?""She is asleep" I replied hoarsely and came to a halt in front of my door."That's surprising. How did you manage to do it?" She inquired and I took a deep breath before responding, not exactly a response to her question, "Give me an answer this time, What have you been discussing with Sofia?"My voice was stern even though I knew Sonia wouldn't be moved an inch."What are you talking about?"I grit and answered almost immediately, "Sofia, she knows Lily isn't my
My hands curled around her back and I couldn't help but place a quick kiss on the side of her scalp."She's asleep now. I'll stay until she is up again" Sofia's voice was soft as she whispered close to my ear and returned to surrendering her head on my chest."Why?" My throat was sour as I asked, "Why are you doing this?"Her face lifted gently from my chest and her eyes pierced into mine, in confusion."What are you talking about?" The innocence in her voice pricked my heart."Why don't you hate me as before?" I was curious at the sudden change even though I loved it.There was a time she wished I was dead and I knew it.A gulp went down her throat and she relaxed her head back on my chest, "Maybe it's because I love everyone, all of my life. I have a good relationship with people. If you have a sister, I believe we would get along"My heart skipped a beat at the mention of 'sister' but I was quick to control myself.Why would she talk about Lily when I just finished awakening the tr
Sofia's POVEverything happened so fast.In the twinkle of an eye.I came around for something else only to have a breakthrough with Mr. Pompous after so many bumps.He felt so easy and different to deal with this moment.Like I was conversing with an entirely different man.I should be pissed at the fact that he knew my feelings the entire time but chooses to ignore them but he said it himself, unusual.Moreover, I got to see the truth in his eyes, the truth I always longed for.He didn't say the words but I could see them boldly.Mr. Pompous loved me the entire time, it wasn't just sympathy or recent care for me.My heart pounded heavily against my chest as my mind could not believe what was happening. This isn't another Mr. Pompous, right? The feeling of his skin on mine, the proximity, and the intoxicating scent that came from him, fvck! It's really him. "It has always been yours to take. You are the right man" I revealed to him as he hit me with another shocker.He was prepar
Sofia's POVI was awakened from my sleep by a faint noise and my eyes blinked open to see Mr. Pompous fast asleep on the other side of the bed but facing my direction. The noise seemed to be coming from the door so I turned in the direction and groaned feeling a slight pain between my legs. "Hey, Daddy! Daddy!" I could hear a faint voice from behind the door and instantly recognized it as little Lily's. Fvck! She is awake. I was carried away with the moment and slept off on the bosom of Mr. Pompous. I rolled over the duvet to get down but gasped on seeing the blood stains on my thighs and the bedspread too. Moreover, I was completely naked. "What's that noise?" My movement was interrupted by the husked voice of Mr. Pompous and I turned back to see him awake. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and I responded to him in a low tone, "It's Lily. She's awake and must be searching for me" Mr. Pompous groaned and then cleared his throat, "Stay back. Let me deal with her"He got off the bed
Sofia's POVA smile curved at the corner of his lips when Lily hugged his legs with her eyes raised up and for a moment, I was jealous of the little creature.He had a soft spot for her.Little being competing with me for my man.I almost pouted."Are you going to play with me today?" Her little voice sounded as he began moving his legs towards my direction and our eyes met.I felt the instant connection when his green eyes pierced into mine and I couldn't help but beam an infectious smile.Yeah, Infectious as he smiled back at me which was totally mind-blowing.He had become different over the night."I have office work to handle today, Sofia will take care of you, and Teresa too" He struggled to move with the little creature clinging to his right leg until they got to the position I was standing.When Lily's eyes were distracted, he pecked my right cheek which in turn glowed crimson, and his voice was calm, "How do you feel?""Teresa is not funny. I just love her food" Lily blurted o
Sofia's POVIt had been about ten minutes since we came inside and I was feeling the need to use the bathroom already.My eyes dart in the direction of my bed and there lay Lily with her eyes widely opened.I've tried to engage her in a conversation but she wouldn't respond to me which is unusual.She was sad and I could tell she hated this third brother of a person."Hey" I approached and kissed her cheek but she did not bulge and that made me sad."I'll be back and I got this good movie you might want to see, Give me a minute.."The little girl did not blink an eye and that made me sigh heavily.I found my way into the bathroom and closed the door behind me before taking a quick piss.Couldn't wait for Mr. Pompous to return and explain what was happening because I was getting scared already even though I didn't want to be.Lily had never been this sad since I met her and that made me worried.I pushed my blonde hair behind and washed my spotless face in front of the rectangular mirr
