FAZER LOGINEven in death, Soren was still hugging the ice-cold Browning pistol in his arms.Sophie stood in front of his corpse and stared at it for a long time. She wondered what her father would say if he were here. Would he sigh for Soren, or get enraged over Soren's betrayal? No matter what, at least he would be proud of her."My daughter is as soft-hearted as I am but as ruthless as I am too!"A tear rolled down Sophie's cheek, but it was not for Soren. It was for the memory of her father.She called Antonio over after that. "Bury him. Bury him next to my father. He has to redeem himself with my father.""Have you stopped hating him?" Antonio asked."I haven't," she replied calmly. "But my father would hope for me to look forward to life. Antonio, I don't regret falling in love with the wrong man, nor do I feel sad for what happened to me in the past. Those things are what made me who I am today."Sophie held Antonio's hand in hers."It's like what you told me. I'm a warrior. All I h
It was winter in the year 2000. A new café had opened in Palo, Sociles.The owner was a disfigured woman who was always wearing a half-veil, and she made very good coffee. No one knew that she was the all-powerful Donna of a mafia family.Another figure was the homeless man who would quietly sit at a corner outside the café every evening to watch her make coffee. No one knew that he was the once-renowned Don of the Lucas family. The man who had once ruled over everything had lost it all in the end.Soren thought Sophie would forgive him after he killed his father, but he ended up being exiled. He sold everything he had for alcohol, and the only thing he kept was the Browning pistol.His mind sobered momentarily when he heard several Rossi men talking about their Donna at a pub. He used every penny he had left to pay for information on Sophie's address.However, Soren never dared to go near Sophie. All he did was watch her from afar. He watched her smile and serve coffee to her cus
William slammed the phone, cutting the call. That was when the door suddenly opened."How did you get in here?" William's eyes widened when he saw Sophie leading a group of men inside to surround him.She ignored him and sat in his chair. "The entire Lucas Villa belongs to me now. Of course, I can come inside.""T-That's impossible!""Nothing's impossible. Leaving members of the Rossi family alive after you killed my father was a mistake."William fell sitting on the ground. The once-powerful Don was now filled with despair, but he refused to give up. "Soren will never let you get away with this!""Well, I won't let your other son get away with this either!" Sophie slammed the table as she stood up. "You treasure your second son so much, you refuse to let him touch any of the mafia's business." She smiled brightly, but her words chilled him to the bone. "But I found him. My snipers are in the building right across his house. They're ready to take him out at any moment."Willia
Sophie turned to leave, surrounded by the Moretti family's men.Soren watched her walk away before suddenly saying, "I found the Browning pistol, Sophie."She stopped."I dove in the water for three hours before I found it." He took the pistol out of his holster. "Look. It's not damaged. I even brought the diamond ring designed by your favorite designer."He knelt on one knee as he raised the ring. "Marry me, Sophie. Marry me not as your Don but as Soren Lucas, the sinner who loves you."Sophie turned her back against him, and tears fell from her eyes behind the veil. "It's too late, Soren. I would've agreed if this were before, but now…"She reached a hand out to him. A shiny diamond ring was on the ring finger of her left hand. It was imprinted with the crest of the Moretti family. "I'm in love with someone else now."A man in a black suit came forward and reached his hand out to Soren. "Mr. Lucas, I'm Antonio, the newly appointed Don of the Moretti family. I'm also Sophie's f
Soren searched every corner of Novatia until an informant told him that Sophie had been spotted in Sociles.Sophie was in a black veil at the annual party of the Moretti family. She was wearing a bracelet carved with the Rossi family's crest on her wrist. "Ms. Sophie." Soren approached her. "May I have this dance?"She turned, and the look in her eyes behind the veil was calm. "Soren?""You're still alive!""Are you disappointed?"Soren laughed. He laughed until he cried. "I've been searching for you since the day you 'died.' I almost died missing you, and you're asking if I'm disappointed you're alive?""You miss me?" Sophie laughed softly. "What do you miss about me? Do you miss how I knelt in college while being bullied? Do you miss how I knelt while you hit me?"She leaned in close to Soren. "Or do you miss the way I jumped into the river and you were finally released from your demons?"Soren felt like a knife going through his heart."Sophie, I was wrong." He knelt on o
Soren went crazy for seven days. He hugged Sophie's clothes and refused to eat or drink. He would not let anyone touch her.The family said he had gone crazy.When the old Don sent men over to force him out of the room, Soren shot at them and wounded three men.On the seventh night, his body had become weak from not eating or drinking for a long period of time. He was losing his mind as he leaned against the wall. When his head hit the wall, Soren noticed a hollow sound.He cracked the wall open and found a secret compartment that contained Sophie's diary.[October 15, 1995. Soren sent me to the college today. He said I'll learn to be a good girl there, but I saw his eyes turn red when we got onto the helicopter. He can't bear to leave me there.][January 3, 1996. Isabella wrote me a letter. She told me that I should confess my dirty thoughts or Soren would break ties with me. I'll do it. I'll do anything they want.][June 18, 1997. Isabella came today. She had a bottle of acid
