Sophia's POV

MORANO’S MANSION

"Are you okay, ma'am?" Luisa asked as she fluffed one of the pillows beside me, her eyes warm with genuine concern.

"We really missed you," Giovanni added, standing tall beside her with a shy smile on his face. He clutched a rolled napkin in his hand like it gave him strength to speak.

"I'm fine," I said, smiling at them. "See? I’m healthy, whole, and still very much alive." I did a small twirl with my hands to emphasize my point, and they all laughed softly, relieved.

"You need to see the way sir went berserk because of you," Maria said, eyes twinkling like she was holding onto a juicy secret. “We’ve never seen him like that.”

They all smiled at once, like they were recalling the same memory. For a moment, I saw how loyal these people were—not because they were paid to be, but because they actually cared.

“Your namesake didn’t come with me,” I said, looking at Maria. “It would have been nice if you two got to know each other.”

“Where is she?” Mar

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Six: A Storm We cannot Outrun

    Sophia’s POVMORANO'S MANSION - LEONARD'S ROOM The rain had softened into a rhythmic drizzle, like a lullaby only the lonely understood. I stood by the window in Leonard’s room, arms wrapped around myself. The silk of my nightgown clung to my skin, and the firelight behind me cast a warm glow that flickered against the glass. Outside, the world was blurred—wet trees swayed and the distant hills faded into a grey hush. The chill in the air felt familiar. Almost like an old friend that always came when my heart was too heavy to rest.I didn’t move when I heard the door open and close behind me. Leonard never made noise when he returned. A part of me always knew when he was near—the air shifted, like it recognized him too."You’re still awake," he said quietly."Couldn’t sleep. You were gone longer than usual." I said, turning only slightly to acknowledge him.He didn’t respond immediately. I could hear him take off his watch, the faint metal clink against the dresser sounding louder th

    Sophia’s POV Crystal University – Art Garden “Sophia!” Mercy’s voice rang out like a songbird echoing through the quiet breeze, just before she flung her arms around me in a jubilant hug. I nearly dropped my brush in surprise. My heart jerked slightly—not from fear, but from being pulled so suddenly out of my thoughts. “Mercy?” I blinked at her, startled. “You scared me.” “Good!” she chirped. “You need some shaking up because, girl, I have news! Big news!” I chuckled faintly at her usual dramatic flair. “You always have news. What is it this time?” Mercy plopped down beside me on the grass with all the energy of someone who had just won a lottery. “You’re not going to believe this…” she began, eyes gleaming. “Those three plastic-faced witches who poured soda all over your sketchpad last week?” “Elena, Tina, and Lina?” I asked, my voice automatically flattening as their names pulled an uncomfortable memory from the back of my mind. “Yes! Those three hyenas in glitter!” she hi

    Sophia’s POV Crystal University, Art Garden “La-la-la…” The sound reached me before the footsteps did. A humming tune, faint and soft, floated in the distance like a feather drifting through the breeze. It wasn’t jarring or intrusive—it was gentle, almost melodic—but I didn’t look up. The wind rustled through the branches above, soft enough to whisper but not loud enough to disturb. I liked it here—under the crooked arms of the old eucalyptus tree that stood in the center of the Art Garden. It had been here long before I arrived at Crystal University, and I had the feeling it would still be here long after I was gone. Its bark was peeling in strips like stories half-told, and beneath its shade, I painted in silence. Charcoal strokes pulled tension into the canvas. The figure I was working on—blurred, faceless, fragmented—wasn't anything my professors had assigned. It came from somewhere deeper, some place that only opened in the quiet. My fingers moved in practiced rhythm,

    MORANO'S MANSION - Meeting Room (Cont'd)The room was quiet, but it was the kind of silence that crackled with tension—thick enough to slice through. A distant rumble of thunder stirred the air outside, mirroring the storm that brewed inside the mansion."Do you have something to say?" Massimo finally broke the silence.Leonard didn’t respond immediately. He sat behind his desk, elbows on the arms of his chair, eyes fixed on Massimo like a predator assessing a threat. The silence dragged again, stretching thin.Then Leonard’s voice came, low and sharp. "Cut the formality, Massimo. We both know this isn’t about business."Massimo didn’t blink. "I figured. You are still angry.""Of course I should be." Leonard leaned forward, voice rising with each word. "You think you could sneak around with my brother without me noticing? You think I’d let someone breathe near him without checking what they had for breakfast?"Massimo bowed his head slightly. "It wasn’t meant to happen. But it did. I

    MORANO'S MANSION – MEETING ROOM "I want to know how a stranger got through my gates, past five trained men, into my house—my house—and almost laid a hand on my wife." Leonard’s voice sliced through the silence like a blade, and the sound of his fist slamming against the table echoed in the cold, dimly lit meeting room. Six bodyguards sat around the round table, their faces drawn tight, eyes avoiding his. No one dared breathe too loudly. Leonard sat at the head, a glass of brandy in his hand, untouched. The amber liquid trembled slightly from the impact of his blow. The silence was thick. Deadly. Until Enzo cleared his throat. "Boss… we’re still going through the footage. He had help. Someone must’ve turned—" "Save it." Leonard growled, eyes burning. "Cameras don’t protect lives. You do. I trained every single one of you better than this. So explain to me how a ghost—a ghost with Diego’s name on his lips—walked into my home and pointed a gun at my wife’s face?" Massimo, standing t

    MASSIMO MANSION - LOGAN'S ROOM (CONT'D) Another thud. Distant. Muffled. But unmistakable. Massimo grabbed a towel and stood, his body suddenly tense, every muscle coiled like a spring. "Stay here," he whispered, already stepping out of the tub. Logan reached out, hand slick with water, catching his wrist. "Don't go. Not yet." Massimo paused, looking back. His eyes were dark with worry, desire, and something deeper. "I have to. Something's wrong." Before Logan could protest again, a knock came from outside the bathroom door. A soft voice followed. "Logan, are you in there?" Sophia. "Yes," Logan replied quickly. Massimo exhaled, tension leaving his shoulders just slightly. "Alright," Sophia said gently, "I brought some fruit for you. I’ll leave it on the table." Logan smiled, mischief curling his lips. "Thank you, sister-in-law." Massimo’s brows lifted slightly at the title, a faint smirk threatening his lips. He watched as Logan reached for his hand again, not ready to let
