Leonardo couldn't help but notice Sofia's perplexed expression and wondered if she was thinking about their wedding night. He regretted acting like a demon that day and scaring her. He couldn't help but think that maybe she regretted marrying him or had negative thoughts about him.

"I am sorry, baby girl. I was drunk last night," he said hesitantly, rubbing his nape in embarrassment.

Sofia bit her lips nervously. Leonardo couldn't take his eyes off her even though she seemed to be scared.

"I won't do anything, Sofia. I promise. At least not without your consent," Leonardo assured her desperately, hoping to ease her worries. "I respect you and your boundaries." He wanted her eyes back on him. He yearned so badly.

Leonardo gently patted the soft comforter of the queen-sized bed, beckoning Sofia to join him. Without hesitation, she obliged and positioned herself on the right side of the bed, her back facing towards him. As she nestled into the plush pillows, she curled up into a tight b

    "Yeah, let's go," Leonardo said, his voice filled with a sense of readiness. He wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin, rising from the breakfast table with purpose. Sofia followed suit, stepping out of the room alongside him, her gaze scanning their surroundings.To her surprise, Mark stood by the door, waiting patiently.

Sofia couldn't help but feel a tinge of novelty as she adjusted to being addressed by her new title.Returning the greeting, Sofia replied, "Good morning, Mr. Mark," her voice tinged with warmth. However, Mark quickly interjected, insisting she should call him by his first name, “Maam, please call me Mark.” Sofia nodded, appreciating his friendly gesture.As the pleasantries continued, Mark turned to address Leonardo respectfully.

    Returning to the payment area, Leonardo waited anxiously for Sofia to emerge. However, his attention was abruptly diverted as a familiar female voice called out his name. Startled, he turned to face the source of the voice, his eyes widening in surprise and apprehension. It was Diana, his ex-girlfriend, standing before him.Before he could react, Diana closed the distance between them and enveloped him in a hug, pressing her lips against his. Leonardo's mind went blank for a moment, completely caught off guard by her actions. He gently pushed her away, a mix of shock and anger flashing across his face."What are you doing, Diana? You should know that I am married," Leonardo stated firmly, his voice laced with a hint of irritation. The whole world knew about his marriage to Sofia, as it had been a grand affair covered by the media, and even their parents had made it a significant event.Diana seemed undeterred by his response, leaning against his chest once again.

    Sofia's heartache consumed her, tears streaming down her cheeks in an unending torrent. She desperately tried to wipe them away, but they continued to flow, betraying her emotions. Each sob that escaped her lips echoed her inner turmoil."Why did I feel bad?" she questioned herself between broken sobs, her voice barely audible. She knew she shouldn't have been affected by Leonardo's actions, yet the pain gnawed at her heart. Her mind battled with conflicting emotions, unable to reconcile the hurt and confusion she felt.

    Sofia heard the sound of the door breaking with a loud bang, and a gunshot echoed throughout the room. The sudden noise jolted her out of her dazed state, and her eyes snapped open. She struggled to focus, her heart pounding in her chest, as she realized the man who had been ripping her dress was now lifeless, sprawled across her. It was the bullet that had ended his life, bringing an abrupt halt to the nightmare she had been trapped in.

    Sofia turned her head towards him, her face contorted with shock and disbelief. She felt disappointed to know the whole truth of their contract marriage."So you married me for this position?" she asked, her voice filled with a mixture of hurt and confusion. Leonardo couldn't help but feel amused, wondering how someone could be so naive."You can say that, and it's not my fault," he responded, his voice tinged with a hint of defensiveness. "I had never met you before our marriage. I didn't know you at that time. So yes, I married you for this position. But..." Leonardo leaned forward, his face just inches away from hers, his voice dropping to a low whisper. "...it is different now."Sofia's eyes searched his face, her expression a mixture of vulnerability and skepticism. "How... how is it different? I am the same girl, and you are a Mafia king," she said, her voice trembling with uncertainty.Leonardo leaned even closer. A slight, knowing smirk played on his lips. "Because now I am

    He chuckled, breaking the kiss, and with a light jerk, Leonardo tore all the buttons from his shirt, saving both Sofia’s time and his own energy. His hands returned to her breasts, where he pinched her nipples, causing Sofia to moan with pleasure. Her eager hands trailed over his soft, smooth skin, and the urge to explore every inch of his perfect abs and chest drove her desperate.“Remove this,” Sofia whined, her fingers fumbling with Leonardo’s belt, her impatience growing by the second.Leonardo chuckled in response. “Now, who’s impatient, huh?!” he teased, quickly unbuttoning and unzipping his pants before removing them along with his boxers, shoes, and socks in one fluid motion. Sofia bent down sideways and removed her heels.Her mouth watered as Leonardo’s hard, throbbing erection, which stood tall and proud, slapping lightly against his stomach, appeared before her face.“Now, let’s get rid of this piece of clothing,” Leonardo remarked, his desire evident, as he tore Sofia’s pa

    Taking Sophia's hand, he guided it to rest on his neck, his touch both confident and deliberate. His hands found their place on her hips, pulling her closer until their bodies aligned with the rhythm of the music. Sophia gasped at the electrifying proximity between them, her pulse quickening as their eyes locked in a silent exchange.“So, what’s your plan for tonight?” he asked, his voice low and inviting.“What do you mean?” Sophia questioned, her brow slightly furrowed.“Planning to go home or stay here with me?” he asked straightforwardly, his gaze never wavering.“Hold your horses, mister. You don’t know who my husband is. He can be very dangerous,” Sophia warned, a mischievous smirk dancing on her lips as she indulged in the playful tension between them.“I’m not afraid of him,” he replied casually, the corner of his mouth lifting in a teasing smile.“If my husband finds out that you’ve danced with me and gotten this close, he might actually kill you,” Sophia cautioned, her tone

    With the VIPs settled in, it was time to officially open the doors to the public. And just like that, the pub and casino buzzed with activity, quickly filling up with enthusiastic patrons eager to experience the excitement."Sophia, everything is going great!" Domenico's voice broke through the din, his excitement palpable."It wasn't possible without your help," Sophia replied with a smile, grateful for his hard work. He had truly helped her understand everything in such a short period.“If you want, you can leave. Aldric will handle things from now on,” she advised.Domenico glanced at his wristwatch. “Yeah, I think it's a good time to head out. Aldric seems capable of handling things on his own. But I’m only a phone call away if he needs me.”Sophia nodded, knowing she’d be leaving herself in just a few minutes, confident that the event was in capable hands. After Domenico left, she glanced at her phone, staring at Leonardo's name in her call log. Her finger hovered over the screen

    Just then, the sound of their children’s laughter echoed through the house.“Oh, my lovely grandchildren are home. I came here just to meet them,” Sophia’s father said with a wide grin. “Excuse me, now. I’m going to meet my little munchkins,” he added before hurrying off.Now, only Leonardo and Sophia were left, and the tension between them was palpable. As Sophia turned to leave, Leonardo grabbed her wrist.“Baby, we need to talk,” he said authoritatively.Sophia sighed. “Again?” she muttered, wondering if Leonardo felt insecure because her business expansion overlapped with Ava’s interests.“I have to check if the meal is ready. The kids will be hungry,” she reasoned, avoiding his gaze and waiting for him to release her hand.“Angel, don’t avoid the conversation,” he said, his voice laced with concern.“Don’t worry about my problem. You can focus on Ava’s business and your work, if that’s what you’re meant to discuss,” Sophia retorted fiercely.“Now what the hell does this have to d

    \"But angel, listen to me." His tone softened upon seeing his wife so angry, though the authority in his voice remained. "You don’t need to ask for favors—from me or anyone else—when you already own an entire enterprise. What’s mine is yours. You can have whatever you want," he added lazily, as if the matter were the simplest thing in the world.How swiftly he switched moods never failed to baffle her. But one thing was certain—her mafia husband was unlike anyone else. As his wife, she knew what was his was hers. Still, it wasn’t truly hers, not in the way that mattered. She refused to rely on his wealth."Leonardo, I don’t need your money—or my family’s. I’ll work hard and build my own empire one day," she declared with fierce determination."Then let me be the investor in your project, dear."The familiar voice of Sophia’s father cut through the air, causing both Leonardo and Sophia to turn toward the doorway.Sophia’s brows knitted in confusion as she watched her father step into

    When Sophia returned home, she found her husband standing near the window, his broad shoulders tense and his hands clenched into fists at his sides. His dark eyes flicked toward her, stormy with unspoken frustration, and the air around him seemed to crackle with restrained anger.“Are you happy now? Humiliating me like that in front of everyone?” Leonardo’s voice was low but sharp, each word laced with irritation as though he had been holding them back for too long.Sophia furrowed her brows, confusion clouding her features as she stepped further into the room. “What are you talking about? What did I do?” she asked, her voice rising slightly as frustration stirred within her. Shouldn’t she be the one who was angry after he had chosen to help his childhood friend instead of standing by her?“You asked for help from everyone—looking for investors—as if I can’t provide for you,” he accused, his intense gaze locking onto hers as if daring her to deny it. “Angel, I could give you the world

    As Leonardo adjusted the cufflinks of his tailored suit, he glanced around, intending to find Sophia and kiss her goodbye before leaving. But before he could move, Ava appeared at the doorway, her figure wrapped in a sultry, form-fitting dress that clung to her curves.“Leo!” she called hurriedly, her heels clicking against the floor as she approached. “I’m running late. Come on, let’s go!” Without waiting for his response, she grabbed his arm and tugged him toward the driveway where the car waited for them.Leonardo frowned slightly, glancing toward the hallway where Sophia might be, but Ava's insistent pull broke his focus.As the car cruised toward the venue, Ava glanced at Leonardo with a coy smile. “Leo, I need a favor.”He arched an eyebrow, adjusting his watch. “What kind of favor?”“I’m meeting with investors today, and I need you there with me.” She tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with intent. “Your expertise in convincing investors is unmatched.

    After breakfast, Sophia sent the kids off to school with the bodyguard and chauffeur. She stood by the doorway, watching until the car disappeared down the driveway. Turning back inside, she spotted Leonardo heading upstairs to get ready when Ava’s voice stopped him.“Leo,” she called, her tone soft and deliberate as she stepped forward, eyes batting with practiced sweetness. “Will you drop me off? I have a meeting nearby.”Leonardo paused, adjusting the cuff of his shirt. “Sure,” he replied casually.Sophia’s stomach twisted at Ava’s victorious smile. She trusted Leonardo—there was no doubt about that—but Ava was another story. The woman’s lingering looks and subtle touches hadn’t gone unnoticed. Despite telling herself there was nothing to worry about, an uneasy feeling settled in her chest.“I’ll wait by the car,” Ava added with a slow smile before walking away with a sway in her step.Sophia’s gaze lingered on Leonardo, searching his face for any sign that he’d noticed Ava’s behav

    “What brings you here this morning, Domenico?” Leonardo asked, frowning as he descended the stairs, still dressed in his night robe. He had woken up that morning to find his wife already gone from their room. Missing her warmth, he made his way downstairs, only to discover his entire family seated at the breakfast table—with Domenico casually enjoying breakfast with them. Ava was also present, her eyes lighting up the moment she spotted Leonardo.“Good morning, Leo,” she greeted him with a sensual smile that lingered a bit too long.“Morning, Ava,” Leonardo replied, his gaze sweeping over the table as he searched for his wife. “How did you sleep?” he asked mindlessly.“Oh, I slept well,” Ava answered, her smile turning softer. But Leonardo wasn’t paying attention. His eyes had found their prize—Sophia, standing near the table with a tray in her hands, gracefully serving breakfast. The morning light caught her features, making her look even more radiant in his eyes. For a moment, Leona
