Chapter 19

(Alexander's POV)

I charged into the top floor of the clock tower and saw Sophia tied to a chair.

Isabella stood behind her, gripping the detonator in her hand.

Damien arrived almost simultaneously, and we locked eyes for a brief moment.

Isabella looked at the two men who had burst in and laughed hysterically.

"Haha! Look! The two most powerful men are both fighting desperately for you!"

She grabbed Sophia's hair violently and pressed the detonator against Sophia's chest.

Sophia winced in pain but made no sound.

There was no fear in her eyes, only calm composure.

My heart clenched violently.

She was still so strong, so beautiful.

"Alexander, didn't you want to kill me for her sake?" Isabella laughed maniacally.

"Now I'm giving you a chance. Come here and trade your life for hers."

A countdown began echoing through the building.

"Ten minutes... nine minutes fifty-nine seconds... nine minutes fifty-eight seconds..."

Red light dots flickered across everyone's faces.

The air was thick with

  • The Don Begged Me for Second Chance   Chapter 20

    (Alexander's POV)After three days and nights of unconsciousness, I finally escaped from death's grasp.My consciousness slowly returned, and sharp pain shot through my chest.I slowly opened my eyes.The hospital room was quiet.I turned my head and saw Sophia sitting beside my bed.She sat in a chair, holding a book in her hands.Her hair was loosely tied back, her face peaceful and beautiful.Joy, almost humble in its intensity, instantly flared in my gray eyes.She was watching over me.She was really watching over me.Did this mean that the bullet I took had finally won back her heart?I reached out with trembling hands, trying to touch her fingertips."Sophia..." My voice was hoarse and broken."You're watching over me... does this mean you still have a place for me in your heart?"My heart pounded violently as I looked at her with hope.Maybe, maybe we still had a chance.Maybe she would forgive me.Maybe that bullet could really wash away my sins.Sophia expressionlessly avoide

    (Sophia's POV)The wedding dress fitting room was bathed in golden light.Damien had flown in the world's most prestigious tailors just for this moment.They were helping me try on the wedding gown embedded with ten thousand diamonds.This dress had taken six months to create.Every single diamond was hand-selected and perfectly placed.I stood before the floor-length mirror, gazing at my reflection.The white silk hugged my curves flawlessly.The diamonds sparkled under the lights, breathtakingly beautiful.Damien stood behind me, carefully adjusting my veil.His movements were gentle and precise."You must be the most beautiful bride in the world," he whispered.He pressed a tender kiss to my temple.I looked at the peaceful life reflected in the mirror, my heart calm.Finally, the nightmare was ending.Tomorrow I would become Damien's wife."I need to take an urgent call," Damien said apologetically."I'll be back in five minutes.""It's okay, I'll wait for you."He kissed my forehe

    (Sophia's POV)Damien burst into the room with the smell of gunpowder.His clothes were stained with blood, his eyes filled with murderous intent.Seeing me chained to the bed, his expression instantly twisted."Damn bastard!"He punched the wall, his knuckles immediately becoming bloody and mangled.But he didn't care about the pain, his hands trembling as he unlocked the chain on my wrist.The chain snapped with a sharp sound.I was free."Sophia, my darling..." His eyes were red as he checked me over and over for any signs of injury."Did he touch you? Did he hurt you?"His voice was hoarse with fear. "I'm sorry. I failed to protect you.""This will never happen again."I looked at this man who had almost used everything he had to save me.He had mobilized his entire mercenary group, destroyed half of Sicily.All to save me alone.This love was deep and passionate."I'm fine." I gently embraced him back. "Take me home."Damien buried his head in the crook of my neck.He breathed in

    (Sophia's POV)For the next few days, Alexander took care of my every need.He appeared in the room punctually every morning.Helping me wash and dress.His movements were careful and gentle, afraid of hurting me.But I remained silent throughout.He personally cooked my favorite desserts in the kitchen.Tiramisu, Italian macarons, and the lemon tart I used to love most.Then he knelt beside the bed, feeding me spoonful by spoonful."Open your mouth, Sophia." He said tenderly. "This is your favorite lemon tart."I kept my lips tightly sealed, refusing to eat.He waited patiently, the spoon hovering at my lips."You'll hurt your body if you don't eat."I suddenly opened my mouth, but not to eat.Instead, I bit down hard on his finger."Ah!" Alexander cried out in pain.Blood flowed from his fingertip.But he didn't pull his hand away, only frowned slightly."Sophia, bite me if you want to."I released his finger and looked at him coldly.He took a tissue to clean the wound, his eyes ful

  • The Don Begged Me for Second Chance   Chapter 15

    (Sophia's POV)One month later, the engagement ceremony was about to be held.I stood in the fitting room, looking at myself in the mirror wearing a white wedding dress.This dress was personally selected by Damien for me.Simple and elegant, exactly the style I liked.Tomorrow I would become his fiancée.Thinking about this, my mood was very calm.Compared to that painful marriage with Alexander, this choice was wise.Damien loved me, respected me, and would never betray me.Just as I was about to change out of the wedding dress, the door to the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.Alexander walked in.He looked completely haggard and inhuman.His eyes were sunken, his beard unkempt. He clearly hadn't slept well."How did you get in here?" I asked warily."Where are the security guards?"Alexander didn't answer my question.He directly knelt beside the pristine wedding dress hem.He humbly grabbed my hands. "Sophia, I've destroyed everything in Sicily.""I'm just begging you to com
