I called Sophia on the third day.

I stood by the narrow window in my room with the phone pressed to my ear, watching the estate security make their rounds below. It rang four times, five then six before it went into voicemail.

"Sophia." I kept my voice low. "It's been three days. I need you to call me back, please."

I hung up and stared at the screen, then I called again.

Voicemail again.

“You need to at least tell me the plans you made with papa, I can’t keep on staying here without knowing ho

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter seventeen

    Sapphire’s POVI was not going to let her walk away again with no proper explanation. So instead of sulking and letting her play with my head again, I ran after her and successfully blocked her from taking any further step. “Collateral damage?”I stared at her, waiting for her to laugh in my face or tell me she hadn’t meant it. Maybe she would admit that it was one of her cryptic messages. I curled my hands into a fist, waiting for her to say it one more time. But, she still had that smile on her face and the smile grew even bigger when she noticed that my hands were curled in a fist. “I’m very sure I spoke English when I called you collateral damage.” She said, flipping her hands in the air dramatically as if she was spelling out the words to me. My chest tightened at the sound of her saying it again. “You’re not even sorry for leaving me here.”Her eyes sparkled for a bit. “Should I?” She asked. “Should I really be sorry?”Something inside me snapped that instant. “How long

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter sixteen

    Sapphire’s POV It has been three days since I last spoke to Alessandro, three days since we had that conversation and eight weeks since Sophia walked out the door. I haven’t heard a thing from her or even gotten an update from her concerning the release of papa. I want to extend my grace to her. But right now, I’m forced to believe that she has been aware of papa’s actions. Maybe she has been working with him, while I was being kept in the dark. Alessandro didn’t mention her in the grand scheme of things but I can’t just trust that she is oblivious right now. I hear footsteps approach me but I pay no mind to it “Miss Sophia is here.” I am quickly pulled out from my train of thoughts, when I heard the name ‘Sophia’ I must have heard wrongly. My eyes shifted from the plate in front me to the worker who had delivered the message. She was still staring at me and probably waiting for a response before she went on with her duties. “Wait” The words flew out of my

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter Fifteen

    Sapphire’s POV“You knew.”The words flew out of my mouth the moment I got into Alessandro’s study. He didn’t even flinch. He remained seated behind his desk, one hand resting over an open file while his fingers lightly held a black fountain pen. When his eyes finally landed on me, they were entirely calm and unreadable, as though he had been expecting me. “I assume Thomas called,” he said in a calm tone.“Thomas?” I frowned. “Who is Thomas?” Realization hit me. I didn’t know the man’s name. Alessandro's face softened, he looked amused. My heart sank immediately, then another heatwave of realization hit me. “So it’s true.” I said, the words coming out more as a whisper.“Yes.”That single word landed on me like a physical blow. A bitter, humorless laugh escaped my lips. “I was actually hoping for it to all be a prank. I kept telling myself there had to be some other explanation.”Alessandro remained silent, his steady gaze tracking the frantic rise and fall of my chest.“You cou

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter fourteen

    Sapphire’s POV I called the burner line that had called me a few days ago, first thing the next morning. I just knew that the man would have answers to my questions or he was probably the one who planted the envelope in my closet. He picked up on the second ring, his breath hitching slightly as if he had been waiting for my call. "The photographs," I said into the phone. “You found them," he whispered. "who put them there?" I pressed, my fingers digging hard into the carpet. "Who slipped them into my wardrobe? Don't lie to me." He didn't answer that directly. Instead, his voice dropped, turning low and cautious. "Are you somewhere you can talk safely? Is anyone nearby?” I pulled my knees tighter against my chest, sitting on the floor of my room with my back pressed into the solid frame of the bed. "Yes," I said, a tremor running through my jaw. "Talk." He was quiet for a long moment. "What do you know about your mother's family, Sapphire?" he asked carefully.

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter thirteen

    Sapphire’s POV “I am already trapped, clearly.” — Sapphire ********* I found a brown envelope in the closet of the room I just moved into. I wasn't searching or snooping around, it was my room after all. I had carefully hunged the emerald gown in the closet and changed into a comfortable oversized t-shirt I had found in the closet. I was trying desperately to shake off the lingering feeling of Alessandro’s hand against the small of my back, a sensation that seemed branded into my very skin. This new room was far too large and I didn’t have things that could fit into it. The silence in the room felt suffocating. There were no blankets on the bed so I decided to search for one in the massive wardrobe. At least wrapping my body with something warm, would give me the comfort that I need. I reaching my arms up high to pull down a thick, heavy blanket from the very top shelf. As I tugged at the fabric, my fingers touched something stiff and out of place. A small, heavy paper

  • Maid for the mafia boss   Chapter twelve

    Sapphire’s POV The silence inside the car was deafening. The blurred lights of the city streaked across the dark windowpane, but my mind was stuck on a vicious, agonizing loop, replaying the exact moment Alessandro’s deep voice had cut through the ballroom crowd. *“Sapphire is my fiancée, not a purchase, not a companion..She is my fiancée.”* The word still felt like a physical weight pressing down on my chest, suffocating me. I looked away from the window, my fingers tightly tracing the emerald fabric of my gown, trying to stop them from shaking. Just moments ago, in the dark space between our seats, his hand had found mine, it was brief and he pulled away quickly. Now, he was already back to acting completely untouched by it. He kept his dark eyes fixed on his phone, his thumb casually scrolling through notifications as if he hadn't just altered the trajectory of my entire existence. Like he was simply checking the weather. I couldn't stay quiet anymore. The anger burning

    Sapphire’s POVI can swear it but that would be a little bit too extreme, but yes I can tell the universe came together to rip my family off its glory.
