เข้าสู่ระบบSophia’s POVIt had been two month since the baby shower, a month since Leonard slipped that ring on my finger again under the stars and made me feel like the happiest woman alive. Life in the Morano mansion had changed since then. The house no longer felt like a cage—it felt like a home. The staff, Grace especially, treated me less like the master’s wife and more like family. And Leonard… Leonard had softened in ways I never thought possible.But today, none of that mattered.Today, my hormones were driving me crazy.“Leonard,” I said, dragging out his name like a child begging for candy as I chased him around the room. My swollen belly made me slower than usual, but determination gave me speed. “Stop running from me.”He chuckled, dodging my attempt to grab his arm. He still had that smug, playful smirk that drove me insane. “Sophia, I told you. Let me finish this first. These documents won’t sign themselves.” He waved a folder in his hand as he tried to stay out of my reach. “You’l
Sophia’s POVLeonard’s hand was warm against mine as he guided me up the narrow stairs. I could hear faint music drifting upward, and the cool night air brushed against my face as the door opened. When I stepped out onto the rooftop, I froze.Soft golden lights hung in perfect rows, swaying gently in the night breeze. Candles flickered on every corner, casting a warm glow that made the rooftop look like something out of a dream. White and silver ribbons danced in the air, tied to pillars, and in the middle stood a small table with a bouquet of roses.I gasped, my hand instinctively covering my mouth. “Leonard… this is… this is beautiful. You really… you really did all this?”He smiled, his deep voice warm. “For you. And for our baby.”My eyes blurred with sudden tears. I turned toward him, my heart tightening. “You already gave me a surprise with the baby shower earlier, and now this rooftop… Leonard, you really spent a lot of time and effort. You didn’t have to—”“I wanted to.” He st
Sophia’s POV“Careful, madam… just a few more steps.” Grace’s gentle voice guided me as I felt her hand steadying my arm.My eyes were still covered with the blindfold she had stubbornly tied earlier. I had been asking questions non-stop, but no one was answering me directly. The soft shuffling of feet around me told me there were others—probably the maids, helping guide me.“Grace, at least tell me where we’re going. This is unfair,” I complained, my hands instinctively moving over my growing belly.She giggled mischievously. “If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise anymore. Just be patient, ma. You’ll love it.”I sighed, puffing my cheeks. “I don’t like surprises.”“Yes, you do,” Grace teased, tightening her grip as I slowly descended the stairs. “You just like to act like you don’t.”“Grace…” I dragged her name in protest.“Almost there,” she whispered in excitement.The air around us shifted the moment we reached the last step. I could hear faint murmurs, the shuffling of many feet,
Sophia’s POV"How are you feeling?" Dr. Asher asked as he checked my pulse, his voice calm, steady, and professional. His fingers were warm against my wrist, pressing gently as if he could read not only the rhythm of my heart but the weight of my emotions."I'm fine," I replied softly, my voice low but steady.He tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing in quiet assessment. "Are you feeding well? Taking care of yourself? And the child in your womb?"I managed a small smile. "Yes, doctor. I’m eating fine and resting as much as I can."He nodded, though his expression showed he wasn’t entirely convinced. "That’s good. But listen carefully, Sophia," he said, lowering his voice as if his words carried a heavier truth. "Don’t stress yourself too much. Your health and the baby’s health depend on it. Always eat on time, don’t skip meals, and make sure to take your supplements.""I will," I assured him, though a lump had begun to form in my throat.The room was quiet, too quiet, except fo
Sophia's POV “One month feels like one year,” I whispered under my breath as the car slowed to a stop before the towering gates of the De Luca mansion.The sight of the mansion, with its tall windows glowing warmly against the late evening sky, stirred emotions in me I wasn’t prepared for—relief, nervousness, longing, and above all, guilt.Leonard switched off the engine and stepped out. I reached for the boot, wanting to help with our luggage, but his hand immediately closed over mine.“Don’t touch that, Sophia,” he said, his voice low but firm.I looked up at him, startled. “I was only trying to help—”“No,” he interrupted, his eyes holding mine with an intensity that made me shrink back slightly. “You shouldn’t be carrying anything. You should be taking care of yourself and the baby.” His hand brushed briefly against my stomach before he pulled it away, the motion sharp and guarded.My lips parted, but no words came out. His tone was concerned, yet beneath it I still felt the shar
“Aaagh…” Logan’s moan slipped from his lips as Massimo’s mouth wrapped around him, warm and eager. His back arched slightly, muscles tightening while his fingers tangled in the sheets.Massimo’s movements were unhurried, his tongue working with deliberate patience, tasting every inch of him. He wasn’t rushing, wasn’t devouring—he was savoring. It was the kind of tenderness that burned deeper than raw hunger.“Massimo…” Logan’s voice cracked, his breath hitching. His hand reached down, resting on Massimo’s dark hair, not guiding but holding, as if to keep him there forever.Massimo released him slowly, lifting his head to meet Logan’s gaze. His lips glistened, his eyes burning with desire yet softened by something deeper.“You sound beautiful,” Massimo murmured, his voice low, husky with heat.Logan flushed, his chest rising and falling rapidly. “Don’t stop.”Massimo smiled faintly and kissed his thigh before moving up, his mouth tracing a path over Logan’s stomach, his chest, until th
“Okay, darling.”The message popped up on Leonard’s phone as he stood in front of the mirror, drying his damp hair with a white towel. The heat from the steamy shower still lingered in the room, curling at the corners of the mirror. Leonard glanced down at his phone, the screen still glowing from t
“Sophi?” Logan called out, his voice breaking the thick silence in the room, his face draining of color.Sophia stood at the doorway, her eyes wide, mouth parted slightly in surprise. She hadn’t meant to intrude—hadn’t meant to witness what she just had. Massimo was already up from the bed, his com
“How did you do that?” Massimo asked, still standing beside Leonard as the last of the investors exited the meeting room. Leonard didn’t answer immediately. He was reclined in his chair, swinging slowly as though gravity itself bowed to him. His fingers were tented together, the way a man thinks b
“Sir, the investors are calling at the company,” Massimo said as they descended the marble steps of Mr. Bianchi’s estate.Leonard Morano didn’t reply immediately. He was focused on the blood staining his sleeves—dark red and tacky. He brought a white handkerchief to his arms, dabbing at the smeared
