Sofia was hungry, so she decided to have breakfast first before calling Leonardo. She pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down. Sofia informed the servant that she would be fine with anything for breakfast. They served her an array of dishes, and her taste buds rejoiced at the sight of so many delicious foods spread out before her. Once she had eaten her fill, she set down her fork and spoon, bidding farewell to the dining room as she made her way back to her room.Sofia indulged in a lengthy shower, luxuriating in the warm water cascading over her body. She lingered in the bathtub, fully immersed in the soothing comfort, while her chosen playlist filled the air from the speakers discreetly mounted in the bathroom's corners. After emerging from the refreshing bath, she slipped into a fresh set of clothes and turned on the television to pass the time. As she sat there, she anxiously awaited Leonardo's call or message. Though a romantic movie played on the screen, her mind was
Domenico nodded sympathetically, his expression conveying understanding. "I can understand, ma'am," he responded gently."Call me Sofia," she corrected him abruptly, wanting to assert some familiarity amidst her distress.Domenico's face showed a hint of concern, and he responded, "Oh no, ma'am! I am not permitted to address you by your name. I value my life too much," he said with a chuckle, leaving Sofia perplexed. What did he mean by such a cryptic statement?Sensing her confusion, he continued, tapping his chin as if deep in thought. "So, the issue lies in your desire to spend quality time with your husband while he fails to provide you with the attention you seek. Hmmm..." Domenico's words trailed off, indicating his contemplation of the matter.Then, he turned his gaze toward Sofia, mustering a gentle smile, and spoke with the utmost politeness, "Given that you are married to the most successful and affluent man in the country, you must understand the immense responsibilities an
Leonardo's breathing became heavy, his chest rising and falling with each labored breath. His heartbeat thudded in his ears, the sound echoing in his head as his pulse raced into his cardiac chamber. Sweat dotted his forehead, evidence of the adrenaline coursing through his veins."Tell me, baby girl," he whispered, his voice husky with desire. He leaned in closer to Sofia, his face mere inches from hers, his eyes filled with a mixture of longing and anticipation. With one swift motion, he kicked the door open, the force of it propelling them forward as he continued to hold her securely in his arms. Taking purposeful strides, he carried her toward the bed, his movements confident and deliberate.Reaching the bed, Leonardo gently placed Sofia down, his touch tender yet possessive. He was about to pull away, but Sofia's hands clung to his neck, her fingers entwined in his hair, refusing to let go."What, baby girl?" he asked, his voice a low murmur. He brushed a strand of hair away from
Sofia's disappointment dissipated as she entered the bathroom, the cool water splashing on her face like a gentle wake-up call. With renewed vigor, she hastily freshened up, determined to seize the moment. As she walked down the hall, her footsteps seemed lighter, her heart was sad and missing her husband.To her surprise, the gloomy corridors led her to a heartwarming sight. There he was, Leonardo, seated at the breakfast table with his laptop open before him. His typically unreadable demeanor softened, and his tea sat neglected, growing colder with each passing moment."You haven't left for your work?" Sofia inquired, taking a seat beside him, her smile radiant and genuine. It had been an entire week since they had the chance to share breakfast together, and her joy couldn't be contained.Leonardo chuckled, playfully teasing her, "Why, baby girl? Are you not happy to see me?" He knew all too well the happiness he brought to her by being there, breaking his routine for this special o
"Sofia, you missed so many classes. If you need any assistance or notes, you can ask me," Rena's words broke through the air, laced with sincerity and genuine concern. Sofia lifted her head, her eyes meeting Rena's with surprise. The kindness radiating from Rena's offer struck a chord within Sofia, for it was a gesture she had never experienced before."Thanks, I really appreciate that," Sofia's voice carried a soft gratitude, her heart warming at the thought of someone extending a helping hand. In that moment, Rena's genuine nature pierced through the superficial facade that often dominated the halls of their school."I got you, girl. So... friends?" Rena's hand extended toward Sofia, an invitation to forge a connection. Sofia hesitated for a moment, her mind wrestling with the skepticism bred from past experiences. But the sincerity in Rena's eyes and the warmth of her gesture melted Sofia's reservations. With a tentative smile, she reached out and clasped Rena's hand in hers."By t
The weight of their cruel words started to overwhelm Sofia, and tears welled up in her eyes. Sensing her distress, Sofia's bodyguard, who had been observing the scene from a distance, stepped forward, concern etched on his face."Ma'am, if you want, I can make them pay for laughing at you," he offered, his voice filled with a protective determination.Sofia, fighting back her tears, shook her head. "No, no, please. I don't want to make a scene," she pleaded, her voice laced with vulnerability.In the past few days, Sofia's bodyguards had grown accustomed to her friends accompanying her at school. They had learned to recognize them and had stopped bothering the students who approached Sofia.Sofia, determined to maintain her composure, continued walking toward her car, trying to ignore the hurtful names thrown her way. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over, as the weight of the taunting became too much to bear.Just as she reached her breaking point, someone abruptly g
As Leonardo began to walk, leading Sofia by his side, a sudden touch upon his chest caused a surge of fury to ripple through him. Kat, with audacious boldness, had dared to place her hand upon him, a move that invited his wrath. His eyes flared with a fiery intensity, his face contorting into a menacing expression that conveyed a clear and deadly threat.But she also saw something else in his eyes—a command for her to handle the situation. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, her confidence bolstered by the knowledge that she held a place in Leonardo's life that Kat could never comprehend. With a subtle shift of her body, Sofia removed Kat's hand, her voice dripping with calm assertiveness."Kat, can't you see my husband is not interested in talking to you? Please leave us alone," Sofia declared, her expression betraying a hint of boredom as if Kat's presence was nothing more than an irritating inconvenience.Kat, taken aback by Sofia's sudden display of assertiveness, found her
Sofia's excitement was palpable as she woke up early, anticipation coursing through her veins. She carefully selected a pink, flowy gown that accentuated her figure, its fabric dancing with each step she took. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, showcasing her slender neck and framing her delicate features. With a touch of light makeup, mascara enhancing her lashes and a pink lip gloss adding a touch of freshness to her lips, she wanted to present herself as a woman ready to embrace the adventure that awaited her.As Sofia made her way down the grand hall of their mansion, she couldn't help but notice Leonardo standing there, exuding an aura of charm and confidence.

The sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong forearms, and a few buttons at the top were left undone, offering a tantalizing glimpse of his chiseled chest. Paired with faded denim jea
