“Baby, you don’t have a choice. You’ll only get rid of me when I die,” Leonardo's voice carried a possessive edge, making Sofia's pulse race with conflicting fear and longing.“You say all these intense things, but you can’t even promise not to see Ava after today?” Sofia's voice wavered, frustration lacing every word.Leonardo exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck. “Ava needs help with her business. I’m yours, Sofia. You have nothing to feel insecure about.”Sofia’s chest tightened at his words. No matter what, he always found a reason to stand by Ava.“Let’s call it quits, Leonardo. You go to your childhood friend, and I’ll go my way.” Sofia’s voice cracked as she tried to free herself from his grip.Leonardo’s eyes darkened. “Look at me, angel,” he commanded. But Sofia averted her gaze, staring past him as she pushed against his chest. Yet, he stood firm as if rooted to the ground.Grasping her chin, Leonardo tilted her face upward, forcing her to meet his gaze. “You’re my
Sofia got up early in the morning, knowing it was a very significant day for her. Her first try in the pubs and casino had been successful, and now she was going to open more outlets. For this, she needed more investors.Leonardo had assured Sofia that they needed to share responsibilities and take care of their children together, but today, she decided to give him some time to get used to the idea.Sofia headed to the bathroom and took a relaxing shower, letting the warm water soothe her nerves. Once dressed casually in her daily wear, she went to the kitchen. She instructed the chef on what to prepare for Leonardo, their children, and herself for breakfast and packed lunches. The kitchen was bustling with activity as the chef and staff hurried to follow her instructions.The chef moved efficiently, chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients while the aroma of fresh coffee filled the air. Sofia watched as he arranged a healthy breakfast spread, making sure to include Lucia and Vinc
But Sofia didn’t have time to sulk over the lies of her husband. Shaking off the lingering disappointment, she quickly took Vincenzo and Lucia to their rooms to get them ready for school. After helping them dress, she guided them downstairs, ensuring they had their bags packed and everything they needed for the day."Bye, Mom!" Lucia shouted joyfully, adjusting the straps of her backpack."Bye, Mommy!" Vincenzo added, running ahead with his lunchbox in hand.Sofia crouched down and placed a soft kiss on each of their foreheads. "Be good at school, my loves. Listen to your teachers and take care of each other.""We will!" Lucia promised, flashing a bright smile before hurrying towards the waiting car.Sofia walked with them to the driveway, where the car and their bodyguards stood ready. She watched as the chauffeur held the door open for them, ensuring they got inside safely. As the car pulled away, she waved, maintaining her warm smile until they disappeared from sight.Once they were
Of course, ma’am," Arthur said, regaining his composure. "I'll summarize the key points on the way."Without wasting another second, Sofia grabbed the necessary files, and together, they headed toward the waiting car, both bracing for the high-stakes meeting ahead.Arthur opened the door for Sofia before taking a seat beside her and instructing the driver on the address where they had to go. The engine roared to life, and they sped off toward the company where the bid for the future project would take place. The cityscape blurred past them, a mix of towering buildings and bustling streets.“Alright, fill me in on the specifics,” Sofia said, glancing at Arthur.He took a deep breath and began to outline the key points of their proposal and the strategies they would use to impress potential clients. He did his best to provide all the necessary details. Yet, despite their brief discussion, Sofia still felt it might not be enough to secure the deal.As Sofia entered the conference room at
All heads turned as Leonardo strode in, his usual dominating aura filling the room. He walked toward Sofia, wrapping an arm around her waist before pressing a deep kiss to her lips. Sofia's eyes widened at the unexpected public display of affection, aware they were at an official conference, not in the privacy of their room."I'm sorry, babe. I was stuck in traffic."Liar. But why had he decided to show up at the last moment?Leonardo turned to face the room, his piercing gaze sweeping over the attendees, particularly those who had expressed displeasure with the bid.“Who wants to go against my wife and get blacklisted from doing business worldwide?” His voice was calm, yet the underlying threat was unmistakable.The room fell into a pin-drop silence. Gazes lowered, and no one dared to challenge the intimidating presence of Leonardo Morelli.Sofia suppressed a giggle, watching her mafia husband command the room with ease. He was dangerous and intimidating, but he always knew how to get
Leonardo was leaving after his meeting with the CEO of SuperTech Innovations, eager to reunite with his wife, when his phone buzzed with a text notification. He pulled it out from the inner pocket of his suit jacket.‘Meet me at the conference room in the left northern wing.’It was a text from Ava.His eyes scanned the hall, finding her standing at a distant corner. Their gazes locked for a fleeting moment before she turned toward the conference room without waiting for a response. Leonardo furrowed in confusion, slipping the phone back into his pocket before following her quietly.As he entered the conference room, Ava stood in the middle of the room with her back facing him. The faint scent of her expensive perfume lingered in the air."What's wrong, Ava?" Leonardo's voice was low with concern. Ava turned abruptly, revealing red-rimmed eyes and streaked mascara. Tears rolled down her cheeks.Leonardo frowned, stepping closer and pulling out his handkerchief and offering it to her.
“Fuck!” Leonardo cursed, pushing Ava away. But she clung to his hand.“Leonardo, she’s angry. I think she misunderstood. Let me come with you and explain—”“No,” Leonardo cut her off coldly, shaking her hand away. “I can manage.”Without another word, he bolted out of the room, his heart racing as he hurried after his wife. But by the time he reached the parking lot, Sofia had already climbed into her car and sped off.“Damn it!” he growled, snatching the keys from his driver. He jumped into his own car and followed her, weaving through traffic at a reckless pace.To his relief, she drove straight home. The familiar gates of their villa loomed ahead, but the storm brewing inside the house was far worse than anything he’d faced on the road.Inside, Sofia’s entire being trembled with rage. She didn't know how she had made it home without crashing. Her mind replayed the gut-wrenching image of her husband holding Ava in his arms — comforting her, protecting her — as if she was the most pr
Leonardo's hand shot out, gripping her wrist with restrained force. His stormy grey eyes locked onto hers. "Stop it, angel. That's not funny.""I'm not joking," she snapped, yanking her hand away."I made it very clear to you baby girl from the very beginning... divorce is not an option in our marriage." His voice was low, dangerously calm, but the warning in his eyes sent chills down her spine."I won't live with you anymore, Leonardo." Her heart pounded painfully in her chest, but she held her ground. "Our relationship is suffocating. You should be happy — once I leave, you'll be free to play the devoted lover with your friend." Her voice dripped with mockery.Leonardo's eyes narrowed into icy slits. "She is only a friend for god's sake."A bitter laugh escaped her lips. "Girlfriend, friend, soulmate — call her whatever you want. I saw the way you held her... the way she cried in your arms. Don't insult my intelligence by pretending there's nothing between you.""You think too much,
It was a usual morning, and Sofia was getting ready for a meeting early in the day. Leonardo had cautioned her not to overwork herself, and she had assured him she was fine and wouldn’t let anything happen to the baby. They hadn’t told Vincenzo and Lucia about her pregnancy yet, deciding to wait a few months before announcing it to the family.Suddenly, Sofia’s phone rang—it was her gynecologist. Her heart instantly filled with unease, as Dr. Martinez didn’t usually call her directly.“Hey, Doc,” Sofia answered.“Good morning, Sofia,” Dr. Martinez’s voice came through the speaker. “How are you feeling today?”“I’m fine, Doctor,” Sofia replied skeptically. “What’s wrong?”There was a brief pause before Dr. Martinez sighed. “Sofia, can you come to my clinic today?”“Okay…” Sofia answered, her grip tightening on the phone.“And don’t come alone, okay?” Dr. Martinez advised.Sofia’s heart started pounding. “Doctor, is everything alright with my pregnancy?” she asked, her voice laced with
“Nope! You’re not keeping your feet on the floor, angel,” he declared with a smug grin.“This is getting too much, Leonardo,” she scolded, frowning.His deep laughter echoed in the bathroom as he set her down on her feet.“But you only have me, and there’s no other option, wife,” he winked, kissing her passionately before leaving her alone in the bathroom.Sofia sighed, smiling at her husband’s overwhelming display of love, and closed the door. Just as she was about to turn on the water, she heard his voice again from the other side.“I’ll be waiting for you, darling.”Today, her mood was exceptionally bright, and she felt optimistic about everything. If she and Leonardo could stay like this, everything would be wonderful. She took a long shower to relax her sore muscles from last night’s passionate lovemaking, washed her hair, and brushed her teeth. After wrapping herself in a fluffy bathrobe and getting ready for the office, she walked downstairs to the dining hall.There, she found
The next morning, Sofia woke to the enticing aroma of coffee and freshly baked croissants, accompanied by her husband's deep, sexy voice."Good morning, angel," Leonardo greeted her. Before she could fully open her sleepy eyes, his warm, soft lips pressed against hers as he murmured, "I love you so much, sunshine."Wow. That was a surprising change. She was so used to waking up before him, making coffee, and preparing breakfast while he got ready for the office. She couldn't help but wonder what had caused this unexpected shift—had the sun risen in the west today?“Umm, what’s the occasion?” she asked teasingly, slipping the cover off her half-naked body. Her movement didn’t go unnoticed, and she watched as Leonardo took a sharp inhale, his eyes lingering on her breasts before flickering back to her face.“What do you mean, angel?” he asked softly, and to her shock, there wasn’t a hint of irritation in his tone.Hmm… someone’s in a good mood. But who was she fooling? She loved waking
As he gathered Sofia in his arms, she shifted to her side, snuggling against him, soft and instantly willing to cuddle. It felt incredible to have her so close, trusting him enough to hold her when she was vulnerable as if he were her protective shield.Stroking his palm across her skin, he traced a slow path down her back, over the curve of her ass, and along her thigh. Needing more of her warmth, he lifted her leg over his hip, pressing kisses along her shoulder, up her neck, and taking teasing nips at her earlobe. Her eyes widened with a flicker of surprise—and rekindled arousal.He sent her a knowing smile before brushing his lips against hers. "Ready?""Hmm," she hummed, a sweet smile playing on her lips.Leonardo pressed his mouth to hers again, nudging her lips open. The moment she parted for him, he invaded deeply, fusing their mouths together. Rolling her onto her back, he aligned himself with her entrance, teasing her with slow, deliberate strokes.He pushed forward, gliding
Leonardo hovered over his sexy wife, positioning himself between her legs. Sofia propped herself up on her elbows, her darkened eyes heavy with desire. He moved closer, pressing her into the mattress, his restraint barely holding as he ached to fit his hips between her spread thighs and thrust inside her.Instead, he focused on her hard, juicy nipples, lavishing them with attention. His mouth found one, then the other, drawing each into the heat of his tongue and lips, eliciting sharp, breathy gasps from her. He let his lips travel lower, trailing kisses down her soft skin until he reached his destination—her glistening, pink pussy, waiting right under his mouth.She was soaked, swollen, her clit peeking out, eager for attention.Leonardo cupped her gently, watching as she shuddered, her eyes fluttering closed, a long, agonized breath escaping her lips.“Leonardo…” she whimpered.“Yes, baby? I’m here,” he murmured, his voice thick with lust. “And I’m staying here for a long, satisfyin
Leonardo clenched his jaw, his restraint hanging by a thread. The way her body moved, the way she tested him—it was dangerous. She was playing with fire. His fingers trailed down the sleek curve of her spine, shuddering. With slow, deliberate movements, Sofia sat up and slid down his body, her thighs settling over his, her soft curves on full display. The sight of her alone was enough to wreck him.His gaze darkened as he took her in—the high curve of her breasts, the delicate dip of her waist, the sheer perfection of her bare skin. But she wasn’t admiring herself. No, she was admiring him. Her fingers traced the ridges of his abdomen, wandering lower, dragging over every hard contour as if memorizing him. The innocent curiosity in her touch sent a jolt of raw electricity through his veins.Then she went lower.Her fingers slipped beneath the waistband of his pants, a single teasing touch tracing the thick length of his cock. A growl rumbled in Leonardo’s chest, primal and deep. His
His smirk sharpened. “My sexy wife, when did you become so demanding in bed?”Sofia whimpered in frustration, and that was all the permission he needed. He sealed his mouth around her breast once more, taking, consuming, until she was writhing beneath him, her breath coming in sharp gasps.She dug her nails into his scalp. “Oh my God, Leonardo...”His teeth scraped over her sensitive bud, a wicked promise of pleasure-pain, before he released her with a firm, teasing pull. “Something you want to say, sweetheart?”She blinked up at him, dazed, lips parting as though words had abandoned her. Then, in a breathless whisper—so desperate, so needy—she murmured, "Just… more."Leonardo’s eyes darkened with satisfaction. “You like it harder?”Her silence made him chuckle. He dragged his thumb over her pebbled nipple, waiting, pushing. “Tell me, Sofia,” he demanded, his voice low and authoritative.She shuddered beneath him, lips parting in a soundless plea, her damp eyes locked onto his with unr
Her breath hitched, a delicious tremor running through her as he pinched harder.“Do you want me to watch you writhe for me?” he continued, his fingers toying with her already hardening nipple. “Do you want me to hear you scream my name when I make you mine?”Sofia whimpered, her hands fisting against his bare chest, nails scraping lightly as she shivered from his touch.“You have such a dirty mouth, hubby,” she panted.“And you love every filthy word that comes out of it,” he smirked, rolling her nipple between his fingers with deliberate roughness.She bit her lip, eyes gleaming with mischief, and in one smooth motion, she pushed him back just enough to peel off the delicate lace dress.Leonardo stilled, his gaze locked onto her, taking in every inch of the perfection before him. The swells of her bare breasts, the soft dip of her waist, the smooth, peachy skin that begged to be marked by his touch.His jaw clenched, his need sharpening into something primal.“Fuck,” he muttered, vo
Sofia’s delicate hands slid around Leonardo’s neck, her soft fingers threading into his hair as she pulled herself flush against him. The moment her lips met his, the world around them ceased to exist. The fatigue, the grievances, the lingering tension between them—none of it mattered anymore.Her kiss wasn’t just a kiss; it was a firestorm, an undeniable surge of raw, unrestrained need. It had been too long. Too damn long since he’d had her like this—since she had melted into him since her body had trembled with desire beneath his touch.A sharp inhale did nothing to steady the molten lust coursing through his veins. Control was slipping, burning away like paper in an inferno.With a low growl, Leonardo tightened his grip around her waist and twisted, flipping her beneath him in one swift, effortless motion. He caged her against the headboard, his broad frame pressing her down as he claimed her mouth with renewed hunger.Sofia gasped, her breath hitching as she arched instinctively i
