He chuckled darkly and took some steps forward. The more he walked towards her, the more she moved back until she hit her back against the door of his wardrobe.

She was trapped.

He gave her a mischievous smirk, maybe this was the position he wanted her to be in. He placed his two hands by the door on both sides of her body, totally restricting her movement and locking her in.

"So, Sofia," he began, his voice low and menacing. "You tried to escape."

Sofia's breath caught in her throat as Alessandro's eyes locked in hers, his presence dominating the room. "I..I was just...".

He knew about it and he still bought her expensive gifts? Did he find out after he bought the gifts? Why's he so calm about it? Why's he not asking her to strip?

Who even told him? So the Chief Security Officer told him after her numerous pleas, he's heartless like his boss. Was it really the Chief Security Officer? Was it Adriana?

No, Adriana was trying to help her. She can't possibly report when she knows she

    "You want my trust, you have to earn it” he replied harshly.“What? How?” Sofia asked as she was dragged by Alessandro.“You'll find out” he said quickly His steps were swift and unyielding. Sofia truly had a hard time keeping up with him if not for the fact that he held onto her hands as he led her to an unknown destination.Then they came in front of his room door and he pushed it open roughly. Sofia gulped down her nervousness and apprehension.Why are they back in here? He closed the door the moment they entered and let go of her wrist. Memories of what took place here a few hours ago came rushing into her mind.She clenched onto her dress tightly as he stared at her. She was feeling so nervous. Darkness settled itself in his room, even though it was clearly day. The curtains were pulled together and the air inside was chilly.His tall frame stood out in the dark, his cold blue eyes sparkling giving him a sinful look. His jaws were so sharp and clenched like it could cut throu

    Sofia decided to have a warm shower. Hoping it would help in soothing her nerves. It didn't help at all. She stood in front of the mirror drying her body with a towel. She noticed the hickeys Alessandro gave her were still very much visible.This man was leaving his prints on every part of her body. He had flogged the hell out of her body giving her scars now he was marking her on her neck.What was wrong with him? What's he planning to gain from the scars on her body? Win a trophy? Get a good name? She got sick to the stomach knowing how her body responded to his touch and kisses. She felt so dirty.She wished she could erase the marks off her body but It was impossible.As she walked into the bedroom, her stomach growled. A sign that she was hungry. She didn't eat dinner well last night after learning about Alessandro's arrival from the Chief Security Officer.Her appetite had vanished and that moment it was replaced with an immeasurable tension and fear.She picked a dress, wore i

    Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days. Sofia waited for Adriana to come and say something on her behalf, but Adriana never showed up again. Sofia wasn't allowed to spend time with Mrs Rose and the maids again.Everything changed for the next few days, until she was told Alessandro was coming back.She became scared when she heard the news. She sincerely wished Alessandro would never come back but the day he would be arriving had come. Even with the tight security around her, she was a bit happy, but today, she was submerged back into that feeling of fear, gloom and anxiety once again. She never knew how afraid she had become of him until today. Just the very mention of his arrival by the chief security officer sent cold shivers down her spine.Sofia repeatedly glanced at the wall clock in her bedroom, most times she would rush to her window to peep if he was back. Watching the hour hand and the minute hand tick continuously in anxiety and fear was killing her. Th

    Sofia raised an eyebrow,as she looked up from her book. Her mind filled with questions as she saw Adriana walking towards her She thought Adriana had traveled with Alessandro, Why's she here? Did he send her to monitor her? She took a deep breath waiting for Adriana to talk.Adriana cleared her throat, "Sofia, that's your name, right?” She asked, without waiting for Sofia's response she continued “Listen to me," she urged, her voice low and urgent. "You need to stay away from Alessandro. He's not what he seems."Sofia's brow furrowed, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?"Adriana hesitated, glancing around the room once more before focusing intently on Sofia. "Just trust me, Sofia. I'm telling you something that's vital, something that can save you and your grandmother. Alessandro is dangerous. If you value your safety, you'll keep your distance."Sofia's expression shifted, a flash of anger in her eyes. "Why are you warning me? What's in it for you?"Adriana's gaze loc

    After breakfast, Alessandro decided to check up on Sofia. He entered Sofia's room quietly, the soft morning light casting a warm glow on her peaceful form. He approached her bedside, his footsteps deliberate, yet gentle. Sofia,sensing his presence, remained still, pretending she was in a deep sleep, her breathing was steady and calm.Alessandro's gaze lingered on her face, his expression calm and softening. He reached out, his fingers lightly brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. Sofia's eyelids fluttered slightly, but she didn't stir, her trick convincing, until his eyes fell on the tray of unfinished food on the table. He smiled.After a moment, Alessandro spoke softly, "Sofia, I know you're awake. You don't have to pretend." Sofia's silence was her response, her chest rising and falling with each breath, her face looked peaceful.He stood for a while watching her, he noticed the marks on her body,”I'll see you at dinner,” he said, leaving the room and closing the door beh
