Chapter 60
“Who are you? What are you doing in my room? Get out of here.” Sophia snarled at Saul and rang the bell situated beside the bed calling for protection.
A soft gasp left out of him in shock. “Sophia, what are you talking about? Don’t you recognize me?” Earth washed away from under his feet. His legs gave up and Saul fell on the chair behind him staring blankly at Sophia.
“Can't you understand simple English? I asked you out of my room.” Sophia pointed to the door.
That's it! It was the worst that he expected to happen for them. As if he was struck by a live wire, Saul fled to the doctor’s room.

Chapter 61“No, I don't think she was. Dr Mary Franklin was in the doctors team who examined her private areas. I think you can confirm it from her.” The young doctor corrected his glasses and spoke concernedly to Saul.Saul did not wait even for a second after he got the reply. Fucking hell, if he had touched her, he will knock him down right at the moment.Saul went to Dr Mary who assured him Sophia wasn't molested. He realized the blackmailer was only trying to boil him with his lies. He visibly relaxed. As he was about to return to Sophia’s room, he got a call from Roger. “Speak”“Sir, we got a clue regarding the vehicle which was used by the goons who shot ma'am.
Chapter 62“What’s going on here? Why are you arguing with the doctor, Lawrence?” Saul walked like a king to rule in strict commanding strides with hands ducked in the pant pockets.“Did I hear right that you're taking Sophia home today?” His question sounded more like a warning than a query.“Yes, you heard him right. I'm taking her home.” Saul spoke sternly and at the same time kept the matter away from Lawrence that he was flying her to Los Angeles. Else he will have more to say than what he is already doing.“Have your mind gone nuts? She had a heart surgery just yesterday. Sophia is my daughter and I can't see her dying right before my eyes. Get the hell out of he
Chapter 63Saul’s security immediately ran out to catch the shooter but there was nobody around. “Take care of him.” He shouted to Brandon pointing to the bleeding waiter and looked around to find any clue. But unfortunately he met once again with a dead end.“Sir, you would have already noticed the building opposite to your bar is under construction. Experienced shooters are hired for costly murders like this in the underworld businesses. You are already aware of all these things being the leader of a popular mafia group. This is just a recollection of the information for you.” Roger took out an engineering plan from his briefcase to explain everything to Saul.“The shooter put a sniper on the 15th floor of the bedroom window of the
Chapter 64On the other side of the city.“You shouldn't have gone all the way to his bar and meddled with him.” - speaker A“I did it because I did not want to bring the least doubts about me to him. He is a fucking sceptic. Secondly, going to the bar was not planned. I went to see Sophia. Eventually we landed in his bar.” - Speaker B“When did you start developing feelings for Sophia? I thought you only lusted upon her.” - Speaker A“Anytime I see a lady walk the path of women empowerment, I hear music playing in my head. It increases my heartbeat, causing tension in my arteries. I hate girl education and parents
Chapter 65“He was your best friend. Brandon always talked great about you. He loved you. Why did you kill him?” Emily shrieked fisting Saul’s shirt.He was sitting before her with head in his hands like a felon before the judge. Saul succumbed to grief. He felt like he lost something very precious in life because he never expected Brandon to be a convict. Not a single word came out of him for any of her questions. But at the end he raised up his head from his hands and looked at her with red shot eyes.That’s it! Emily was startled, absorbing the unanticipated emotion on him. If he is grieving Brandon’s death, why did he kill him in the first place? She released his shirt and looked for answers but got none.&nbs
Chapter 66Looking through the peephole he looked at the visitor waiting for him outside the door and visibly relaxed. “Dad and mom? What are you doing here at this late hour?”Carson sighed. “I'm sorry son, I did not want to disturb you. But your mom was not able to sleep. She overheard our conversation a few minutes ago. You were briefing me about Brandon. It was very much unexpected that he would be such a monster. We thought you were both best friends.”“I felt the same, dad. You were shocked but it was like a bomb blast to me.”“I am able to assimilate your thoughts, son. Both of you were together through thick and thin. The biggest sorrows are brought by the people whom you trust. I am sorry, yo
Chapter 67“Of course why wouldn't you, since the day I entered your life, I had only been a burden to you.” Sophia spoke brokenhearted.Saul signaled to his mom making a head lift towards Sophia. He felt sorry but had no time to console and handle her mood swings. There were a lot more things on his platter that he had to take care of immediately after discussing them with his father.Understanding her son Scarlet took Sophia to one of the bedrooms. After the women left Carson spoke to Saul again.“It is not necessary Brandon had spoken the truth to you. Remember, he told you he raped Sophia but the doctor confirmed to you she was not molested though had suffered serious physical abuse. This
Chapter 68“What's the matter?” Sophia asked concerned.“Nothing. My secretary called me. We may not be flying tomorrow. There was some issue with the flight. It needs maintenance. I'm sorry but I will fulfill your wish of going to Los Angeles as soon as possible.”Sophia shook her head. “Don't put yourself in a guilty position. I overheard your dad call you to his office tomorrow. Whatever happened was not in your hands and it happened for your good. You are my Eros. I was stupid to act stubborn and put you away. I am sorry I thought you as my enemy until I heard from the doctor. You have no idea how many times I have imagined you in my bed making love to me.”She felt just
Chapter 82“Greg Warner is still breathing. Why did you hide the truth from me?” Sophia held the collar of Saul transforming to a fire emitting virago. “Did you know he is alive even before our wedding?” Her eyes searched his orbs for answers and she got them clear and loud.“You're a liar, a betrayer and a disloyal partner. I hate you.” She screamed and turned around ready to pack her suitcase and walk out of the house.Only then Saul came back to the present. The awareness dawned on him like an ear tearing thunder. And then his mind started to function again. “Stop there.” He forced a laugh.“What are you doing? Are you going to pack your clothes and leav
Chapter 81“I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour sir. Mr Liam Colon escaped from the prison cell.” The officer informed Saul.“What? How could you be so negligent? My wife and I already told you how dangerous he could be. He almost raped her without a third person coming to know despite we having such a huge security. Shouldn't you be taking extra care in guarding such a malicious criminal?” The hitherto calm and happy emotions of Saul were replaced by a storm of annoyance.“I'm sorry sir. Mr Liam called for nature's call and went to the washroom. Close by we are having construction work going on using drilling machines. Because of the sound the jailer couldn't hear the breakage of the glass. When he didn’t see him come out of the wa
Chapter 80“We have received this information from a public telephone. I have no idea who called.” The officer walked to Saul, removed the handcuffs and nodded to him as a goodbye.Saul pressed the remote to lock the door and walked to Sophia for a hug. “Relax. We will soon find out who is the root cause of this issue.”Sophia took out her head from his chest and looked up at him. Saul can read her eyes even in his sedation. In the state of sobriety, she is an open book.Those pulchritudinous eyes were filled with desire. She needs him. So did he. But the issue in hand was of pivotal importance. Saul held her neck and pulled her face closer to him to capture her lips. The kiss screamed, desir
Chapter 79“What? How did he escape from the warehouse torture cell? How did the police get to know about all this and how did they enter my private area without my permission? And above all why am I getting to know all this now?” Saul asked Van, going utterly angered.“It is obvious, there is someone who knows about his whereabouts and informed the cops about him. This person also knows you will not allow him to live for long. To grant him life, I think he sent him to a prison cell.” Van stated diplomatically.“Who could know Liam’s whereabouts other than me and my security staff?”“Maybe we have a mole among the security guards themselves?” Van projected his po
Chapter 78“These stones are way back from 2017. How come you collected them from such a long time when you met me just six months ago?” She twirled the stone in her hand back and forth and looked at him for answers.For a couple seconds Saul was blank trying to fetch a suitable reply. And then his eyes twinkled like two eternity jewels dipped in snow. “Because I have the same hobby. We match in several ways that is why we are wife and husband with the best compatibility.”“Is it so?” Sophia went on her tippy toes and kissed his nose with mischief dancing in her almond shaped eyes that were a fire with passion. She bit her lip and her optics gradually brushed down reaching his lips.
Chapter 77“What?” Saul asked before he turned stunned and speechless.After hearing Liam the grip on his phone weakened and the instrument fell from his hands.“Psst, you are such an emotional crested cuckoo. Even after being in the mafia for so many years, you are so pussy whipped. You need to make your heart steel so that you don't get surprised when you hear news like this.” He twisted his lips in mockery. “Come on, sit here, you need to know more.” He tapped the place beside him for Saul.“You asshole, how dare you command my son?” Carson took a step forward gritting his teeth to beat him. But Saul stopped putting his hand forward as an indication. An unsaid conve
Chapter 76“I'm sorry Mr Campbell, you lost your baby in this mishap.” The physician confirmed after checking upon Sophia.“A baby?” Saul asked, holding the hand of Sophia for support. She was his strength in hard times despite lying unconsciously on the bed.“Don’t you know your wife was pregnant?” The doctor asked, giving her an injection.Saul had no words to say. His feet were about to give up as he took a chair and sat on it. “Mr Campbell, are you alright?” The doctor asked with concern as he saw Saul’s face turn colorless in a matter of a few seconds.He could only manage a nod as his speech
Chapter 75Few hours ago“I have a suspicion that Greg is not dead. Saul didn't indulge in giving me any information, but I got the clue from his conversation.” Lawrence spoke to Liam with a grimace.“Have you gone nuts or are you drunk?” How can Greg be alive? The truck driver gave us the proof of the accident. We saw him bleeding in the location. The doctors confirmed he is dead and we buried him with our own hands. How can there be a slip? That bastard is very clever. He was only trying to deviate you from the topic.” Liam spoke to Lawrence in irritation.“I don't think so, there is a missing piece in this jigsaw puzzle. I saw the truth in his eyes. He would have surely d
Chapter 74No sooner did she touch the bouquet, water sprinkled on her face with happy birthday music.“What the…” She looked around and there he was standing after coming out from behind the door. “Liam?” Sophia asked, surprised.“Happy Birthday dear friend. How are you?” He hugged her and kissed her cheek. Sophia went static with his touch. Liam didn't like it but he hid the pain behind a smile.“Sweet Jesus, I was so frightened when I saw nobody around. Where are the bodyguards? How did you come inside the house without any hindrance from the security? She spoke bewildered.“Ms Campbell, don't
