"That's not fair," Sofia protested, her voice tinged with frustration, as Leonardo turned his back on her.His deep laughter reverberated through the air, causing her heart to race."Everything is fair in love and war, sweetheart," he announced shamelessly, his confidence evident in every word.Sofia took a deep breath, feeling the need to be heard. She mustered her courage and made a decision. With a determined look in her eyes, she reached behind her and unclasped her bra, letting it slide off her shoulders and fall to her side."Leonardo, I miss my husband," she confessed, her voice desperate and vulnerable.He chuckled, dismissing her emotions as mere tricks. He removed his coat and loosened his tie, yet still avoiding eye contact, trying to resist her charms.Undeterred, she walked slowly toward him, her eyes locked on his. As he unbuttoned his shirt, she took a stand in front of him, encircling her arms around his neck, drawing her body closer to his.He reacted immediately, gri
The following day, Sofia slowly stirred in Leonardo's embrace, her eyes fluttering open to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. Her head nestled under his chin, and his arms held her tightly as if not wanting to let her go. She relished the comforting warmth of his body against hers, a contented smile playing on her lips as she basked in the intimacy of the moment.She attempted to untangle herself, but Leonardo let out a soft groan, tightened his grip, and gently shook his head, silently urging her to stay. His voice, still husky with sleep, murmured, "Stay a little longer.""Let go of me. I need to use the bathroom," she said, her voice muffled against his chest, her fingers lightly tracing circles on his skin."But come back soon, okay?" Leonardo replied, his eyes still closed. He loosened his hold on her, allowing her to slip out of bed. As she stood up, she realized she was completely naked, feeling a slight blush creep into her cheeks. She picked up a soft, flo
"Sofia…" Leonardo tried to speak, but she glared at him fiercely, causing him to falter and stop mid-sentence."I said that I don't want to listen to either of you!" she exclaimed with a heavy voice, her emotions threatening to spill over. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she struggled to keep her composure while reprimanding the two men she loved more than life itself. The conflicting emotions within her heart weighed heavily, torn between her love for both of them and the exhaustion caused by their constant disputes.Leonardo tried to comfort Sofia, gently massaging her shoulder. "Okay... okay... you just relax and calm down. I won't say anything," he assured her, his touch comforting. "If you want, I apologize to Mr. Ricci. But you stop crying," he added in a low voice, and Sofia's heart melted at his concern.Carlo, however, remained skeptical, accusing Leonardo of putting on a facade. "Stop acting in front of her, Leonardo. I know that you are not an emotional kind
The doctor's office was suffused with tension as Leonardo kept intimidating the doctor with his demanding demeanor. Sofia, feeling a mix of concern and embarrassment, rubbed her forehead, worried that his behavior might hinder the doctor's examination."I want to be assured about everything. I don't want to have any doubts. Run more tests if needed, but make sure she and my baby are fit and fine. I can't afford to take any risks," Leonardo asserted, his commanding aura filling the room.As Sofia anxiously observed the situation, she knew she had to intervene before he overwhelmed the doctor. She whispered-yelled at him, trying to catch his attention. "Leonardo!"His gaze turned toward her, and his demeanor softened as he addressed her with an endearing nickname. "Yeah, baby girl! You just sit and relax. I will handle everything."Flustered and embarrassed, she blushed at his choice of words, especially in front of the doctor. She leaned closer, speaking near his ear in a hushed tone.
When Leonardo returned home, he found Sofia lazing on the couch, deeply engrossed in working on her class project. Hearing the door click shut, she slightly lifted her head from the laptop and directed her gaze toward her husband.As Leonardo approached, Sofia closed her laptop and got up, a bright smile illuminating her face. He closed the remaining distance between them, and she eagerly stepped closer, their bodies coming together as he wrapped his arm around her waist and gently pressed his lips against hers.She smiled against his lips, savoring the sweet intimacy of their greeting, and asked as they pulled away, "How was your day?""As usual, it was the same. But now I feel my night will be better," he said with a loving smile, his other hand finding its place around her as she took his bag and jacket. Sofia playfully rolled her eyes, earning a soft chuckle from Leonardo."How was your day?" he inquired, pecking her forehead."It was good. I cracked a new deal, and I feel it will
"It's lunchtime. So let's have lunch," Leonardo said, his arms gently wrapping around his wife's waist, pulling her closer to him. They decided to dine at the renowned restaurant in Venice, Terrazza Danieli, which offered one of the most breathtaking views in the city. From their table, they could marvel at the splendor of the Grand Canal, Punta Della Dogana, Giudecca, and San Giorgio Maggiore, all while being enveloped in a romantic atmosphere.Leonardo lovingly allowed Sofia to take the lead in ordering their food. She chose the delectable Dandolo risotto with sea urchin, sole, and fresh tomatoes. As they waited for their order to arrive, they delighted in the captivating view before them. The soft breeze caressed their faces, and the distant sounds of gondolas and laughter filled the air, enhancing the enchanting ambiance.When the food arrived, they savored each bite as if they were experiencing culinary perfection. The divine flavors seemed to dance on their taste buds, but it wa
As the gondola glided gracefully through the serene waters of Venice, Leonardo and Sofia were lost in their own world of passion and love. Under the famous Bridge of Sighs, they shared an intimate moment, their lips locked in a desperate, hungry kiss.Leonardo's desire for his wife was evident as he deepened the kiss, sucking her lips with a fierce intensity. Sofia welcomed his advances eagerly, her own passion mirroring his. Their tongues danced in a sensual embrace, their bodies pressed close together in a heated union. The world around them faded into oblivion as they were consumed by the ardor of their love.Sofia's teeth grazed over Leonardo's bottom lip, eliciting a low groan from him. He pulled her closer, their bodies pressed against each other, their connection palpable. The intensity of their passion was evident as they explored each other's mouths, their breaths mingling with a sense of urgency.Their intimate moment was shattered by the sound of gunfire echoing through the
The goons seized Leonardo, dragging him along without resistance. Deep inside, he felt a grim acceptance of his fate – the meeting he had been avoiding for months was finally upon him. They blindfolded Leonardo and tightened the handcuffs, ensuring he couldn't escape.“Boss, we got him here,” one of the henchmen reported to their leader. The blindfold was yanked off, and Leonardo squinted, trying to adjust his eyes to the dimly lit, dank room.“Leonardo Morelli!” a gravelly voice growled, and he turned his head to see his captor. Leonardo was momentarily bewildered; he had never laid eyes on this man before. But it didn't take long to put the pieces together."You may not know me, but I know you well, Don Morelli. I am Enzo, Don Adrik was my brother, and you killed him ruthlessly, shattering the Russian Mafia along with him." Enzo spat the words out with venomous hatred.“Enzo, you haven't learned anything from your brother's death,” Leonardo shook his head with a hint of pity.“Leona
