Sophia's point of view

“Get down!” William’s voice roared behind me, breaking through the fog of terror.

Time slowed. The man’s finger twitched on the trigger. I dropped to the ground just as a deafening crack shattered the night.

The bullet zipped past me, so close I could feel its heat.

I stayed down, hearing the sound of gunshots as chaos erupted. Tires screeched. Doors slammed. Another shot rang out, and I crawled behind a nearby car, my heart hammering in my chest.

“Stay down, Sophia!” William shouted. I turned to see him standing outside the Audi, his own gun drawn. He fired twice, forcing the men to retreat into their car.

“Sophia, move!” William yelled, sprinting toward me. I scrambled to my feet, but the car was closing in too fast.

Just as I braced for impact, William tackled me, throwing us both to the side. We hit the pavement hard, pain exploding in my shoulder, but the car missed us by inches.

“What’s going on?” Security guards began to rush out with their

  • The DON's Princess   Chapter 26

    I turned to William, my eyes pleading for help. "What do I do?" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper. He simply nodded, his expression steady and assured. "I’ll handle it," he said before stepping forward. "Excuse me, listen up, everyone!" William’s voice echoed through the lobby, commanding attention. Conversations reduced, and one by one, heads turned in our direction. A few employees exchanged uncertain glances, but soon, silence settled over the crowd. "The email you all received is false," he stated firmly. He gestured toward me as I took a step forward. "This is the new C.E.O." I straightened my shoulders as William continued. "Her name is Sophia Martins, and she is more than capable of leading this company. She has stepped in to honor her father’s legacy, and under her leadership, this company will not decline—it will thrive." His gaze swept across the gathered employees, his voice unwavering. "That email was nothing more than a disgraceful attempt to tarnis

  • The DON's Princess   Chapter 25

    Sophia’s Point of View: I tossed and turned all night. Despite the room’s complete renovation, I couldn't sleep. For the first time since the incident, the nightmares returned—vivid, relentless, and cruelly familiar. I was back on that cold bench, chains biting into my wrists. The strange man loomed over me, his shadow stretching across the dimly lit room. Beside him stood Ava and John, their laughter slicing through the suffocating silence, their eyes gleaming with twisted delight at my helplessness. And then there was William—my hero. He appeared, just like before, ready to save me. But just as his hand reached for mine, a deafening gunshot tore through the air. I watched, horror twisting in my gut, as he crumpled to the ground. His body lay still, lifeless. And that was when I felt the most fear—not when I was tied up, not even when I thought I was going to die. It was the sight of William’s body on the floor that truly broke me. I woke up gasping, sweat clinging to my

    John's point of view: "This bitch." I stared at her, watching as she bossed everyone around. This was the same little Sophia who used to worship the ground I walked on, and now she had the guts to talk back to me? I clenched my jaw, trying to keep my anger in check, but it was damn near impossible. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to put her back in her place. She was beneath me, and it didn’t matter if her father had all the money in the world—or if she did now. "Well, you should get to cleaning. From the look of it, you might have to spend the whole day," she said with a smirk, mocking me. I shot her a glare before turning my attention to the room. My stomach twisted. 'How the hell did anyone live here?' It looked more like a closet than a room. I stepped inside, forced to duck my head to get through the doorway. Sophia was tall. how could she even fit in here for so long. The place was disgusting, the kind of space even rats would turn their noses up at. I looked ar

    Sophia's point of view; "Follow me. I'll show you to your rooms," I instructed, gesturing for John to get to his feet. He hesitated for a fraction of a second before rising. Rose followed close behind as I led them down the hall. The room I chose for John was one I knew all too well. My old room. The one Maxwell Smith had forced me to stay in. It was tiny, damp, and wedged directly under the staircase. I had spent countless nights staring at the low ceiling, my body aching from exhaustion, yet unable to sleep because of the constant creaking above me—the heavy stomping of feet, reminding me of my place beneath them. The only nights I ever found peace were when Maxwell was away. Rose would let me sneak into her room, where the mattress was soft, and the silence didn't suffocate me. "Here," I said, pushing the door open. A gust of dust rushed out, thick and stale, forcing all of us to cough. The air inside reeked of mildew, and the mold that had once been a small patch on the w

  • The DON's Princess   Chapter 22

    Was I not his type? I wondered, my mind racing as I stared at William. Was he even into women? I shook off the thought. Why was I always drawn to men who didn’t find me attractive? First John, now William. 'Snap out of it,' I told myself, pushing the thoughts away. "I’ll ask Grace to clean the room for you. While she does that, you can have your men set up the cameras," I instructed, my voice firm. William had suggested installing cameras throughout the house, insisting it was the best way to protect me. "Everywhere except the room I’ll be staying in," I added. "And I want full access to the footage." I didn’t wait for his reply before turning away, my steps carrying me toward the master bedroom. The moment I stepped inside, a chill crawled up my spine. My breath caught in my throat. The room looked exactly like the one John and I had shared. The same furniture. The exact same curtains. The wallpaper. Even that hideous painting of a boat—hung in the same spot where a c

  • The DON's Princess   Chapter 21

    Sophia's Point of View: I watched as John and his family carried their boxes out of the house, yet the satisfaction I had expected to feel never came. My gaze drifted to Rose, and a hint of sadness tightened my chest. After my mother’s death, she had been like a mother to me. And just like me, she had suffered under the Smiths’ cruelty. "Wait!" I called out, suddenly uneasy at the thought of Rose being out on the streets. I folded my arms over my chest, forcing indifference into my tone. "I might consider letting you all stay in the guest quarters—if you beg." John turned, his face twisting with disdain. "Beg you?" he spat. "Never." His voice dripped with pride. I glanced briefly at Rose. She was looking at Maxwell as though hoping he would say something, but he didn't, and she stayed quiet. She was always a loyal wife. "Suit yourself," I said with a shrug, watching them leave. I knew John hated handling cash—so much so that they probably didn’t have enough on them to even p
