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
Clancy's POV"Your presence here today means a lot, Mr. McCain, We hope to have you again and we look forward to your response on this proposed partnership" I shook hands with the foreigners in suits before making my way out of the conference room.It's been a long day and I couldn't wait to get back to Sofia.Had to deal with these foreign heads who had a tempting proposal I couldn't afford to resist.I met my secretary at the intersection of the building and she hurried behind me quickly."That's all for today, Boss. Should I outline the next set of investors on the list or you'll prefer them sent to your mail? The proposal looks promising as well "I made to respond to her but the buzzing of my device made me pause and raise a finger.Bringing out the phone, my brows furrowed on seeing who the caller was.'Matteo'.Oh fvck! Just like a call from 'Devin', could only mean trouble.It was the same for Matteo but a lot worse.Devin was in charge of the company building but Matteo was t
Clancy's POV"Third Brother, you are intruding on this territory" I announced, taking a step closer to him causing his men to let down their hands from the rifles they carried. They knew perfectly well I could drop another and not blink an eye about it.Elijah scoffed and brushed the roof of his nose with his finger, "Do you have the slightest idea of what you just did?By asking, he didn't disappoint cos I expected it."I was going to ask you the same, entering my city without an invitation"He scoffed one more time and gently tilted his head to the side, "Your city? I built this empire with my brothers when your stupid ass was rooting in the orphanage" My countenance switched instantly not because he tried to shame me but because he did it in the presence of Sofia. I wanted to keep every detail of my past from her but now she would be curious about this hint dropped by him. Sofia is always curious. I did not restrain myself to hit him in the face with the butt of the pistol in
Sofia's POVI had my breath held from the moment he appeared into the room.Mr. Pompous didn't let me see his eyes but I knew it definitely had traces of intended murder within.No longer intended but accomplished murder, he just shot someone in the head and isn't blinking an eye about it.The room felt suffocating with his domineering aura exploding at every corner but my legs only shivered because seeing blood almost kicked in my PTSD.He was the cure for me so my sanity got back on track just by having my eyes on him.The Third Brother everyone so feared could barely speak in a room with the true King of the City and even when he did, Mr. Pompous was prepared to slam more words to his face.I've seen Mr. Pompous take fierce actions but today is nothing like it.I held Lily tightly to myself and made sure she didn't raise her head from my lap.Luckily, her face was on me so she didn't get to see someone's head get blown off and be traumatized.The gunshot seemed to have scared her a
Sofia's POVThe morning began with Lily interrupting my wonderful sleep at around 7 a.m.Well, If I was following Mr. Pompous to the office, I shouldn't and wouldn't be in bed at the time.Oh heaven, my desire to have children is put on temporary hold.I'm not prepared to experience this inconvenience.Had to help the child with freshening and dressing up before leaving for breakfast. Maid Teresa had come herself to invite us.Mr. Pompous was not there and that made me wonder if he had left for work already.He promised to join us today.The thought of it made my heart sink.He broke his promise the last time he talked about taking me to McDonald's but we resolved it mysteriously.Thought it wouldn't matter anymore since we're now together despite our differences."Are you alright? You look sad" Lily's little voice interrupted my thoughts and I jolted quickly back to reality.I lifted my head to see her blue eyes gazing deeply at me and I gulped."Are you still angry at me?" She hit
Clancy's POVThe last person I expected to show up was Sonia. She never gave me prior notice of her return and the job she was handling should take a few days. I took a deep breath on hearing her incoming footsteps and turned to see her appear from the other end of the corridor. "Are you mad at me?" I could hear her scoff as she came to a halt in front of me, "You never like surprises for once in your life, but my daughter does, I did it for her" Hearing this, I gulped with a neutral look. She was right, I don't like surprises. Always want to be a step ahead of everything. "I believe order is restored at the border now" I demanded, not wanting to go deeper into that conversation with her. "I won't be here if it isn't. Rounded up the big heads within 24 hours using my proposed technique. I was indeed on my way back when I called yesterday" Sonia explained to me and I nodded, before responding. "So, you'll be joining Matteo and his boys on your next job. We can't leave blindspo
Sofia's POV"No..." My answer was firm, "Stay away from me or you might end up dead like the others. Also, don't call this number or try to reach me again "I hung the call on him and took a deep breath.He sounds convincing but could easily be one of the mercenaries waiting outside the City for me.These people knew my origin and could easily formulate a story that would be believable.I won't be fooled to put my life on the line.Life was beginning to get better with Mr. Pompous and I was slowly letting go of who I truly am; The Mafia Princess.He doesn't treat me badly anymore so there was not a factor repulsing me from him.Rather, I'm attracted like crazy."Give me a minute..." I informed Maid Teresa before hurrying back to my room and ensuring the door was locked before diving into my bed. Connected the device to my laptop and began using to skill to trace the point where the call had come from. I've never tried this before but I had knowledge and available resources to. In t
