Sofia remained by Leonardo's side unwaveringly during his entire stay at the hospital. How could he be so fortunate to have found her? She was his angel.

The hospital kept him there for an entire week to monitor his recovery, yet Sofia took care of him single-handedly despite nurses being available round the clock. Finally, the week had come to an end. Leonardo felt fit and healthy, just as he always had, and they were ready to return home.

Today was the day Leonardo came home. He looked better and more energetic. Everyone gathered to welcome him back with open arms. The entire house was adorned with flowers and heart-shaped red and white balloons, courtesy of his family.

Leonardo's parents, uncle, aunt, and cousins stayed until late at night. Domenico also joined the celebration, and they reveled in Leonardo's recovery. Bella and Sofia still didn't have the best relationship. Bella seized every opportunity to taunt Sofia, but she chose to ignore her, not wanting to spoil the joyful a

    Sofia obeyed, holding his erection and stroking him, taking her time to enjoy playing with her husband. Slowly lifting herself, she positioned his hard and thick length toward her center and began to lower herself onto his dick."Ah..." Her head rolled back as he entered her. She moved down slowly, inch by inch, allowing herself to stretch. However, he grabbed her waist and forcefully pulled her down onto him."Leonardo... Ahhh..." I screamed.He continued thrusting into her, gripping her waist and moving her up and down on his length. His hips jerked upwards, driving deep inside her. She felt a sense of fullness and completion. Instinctively, she started moving in sync with him.Soon, the muscles in her belly twisted, and the pleasure built inside her became too much. She was about to climax in the next second. Leonardo sensed her reaching her peak."Don't you dare come alone, baby. Wait for me, and we'll come together," he warned, pumping harder and deeper, causing her to moan even

    Kat could be mean at times, but she seemed to reserve her meanest behavior exclusively for Sofia. Why on earth did she always want to pick fights with Sofia?Sofia was exhausted from dealing with Kat's constant tantrums and hearing her lay claim to Leonardo. What was so difficult for Kat to comprehend? Sofia was the one who had married Leonardo Morelli."One day, you'll see. I'll get what rightfully belongs to me. What will you do then? It would be better for you to stop being a third wheel," Kat continued to spew her venomous words. Finally, Sofia had reached her breaking point. She turned toward Kat."Enough, Kat! Just because I choose not to engage with your nonsense doesn't mean I can't respond. I've been trying to respect our relationship, but you've clearly forgotten your place. You're my sister, and Leonardo is your brother-in-law," Sofia tried to maintain a calm tone, even though she wanted to shout at Kat's face."And you're talking about my husband. I won't tolerate it.

    "What brings you here, Dad? I can tell it must be something important for you to bother coming into my office," Leonardo asked Alessandro, his father."You're right. The secret is out. Everyone now knows that Sofia is the sole heiress of the Ricci Empire and holds all the rights to it. Therefore, the merger between the Riccis and the Morellis won't be valid unless we have her signature," Alessandro declared.Leonardo had suspected this might happen, and now his doubts were confirmed by Alessandro's words."So, what do you want, Dad?" Leonardo asked, his brows furrowing."I want you to convince Sofia to sign the contract papers, granting you control over her properties," Alessandro stated his demand.No chance. Leonardo would never do that. He would never force Sofia to sign any document against her will."Dad, we've just come out of a difficult situation, and I don't want to pressure her into anything. I think we should give her some time to make her own decision and sign the papers wi

    Carlo smiled, his eyes pleading. "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Please, let me throw this party for my daughter. I want to make up for my regret," he asked, looking toward Leonardo.Leonardo was not going to agree. He despised Carlo for his irresponsible behavior toward Sofia. No matter how many times Carlo regretted his actions, Leonardo would never forgive him."No, Carlo. Sofia is now Morelli's daughter-in-law. You have to pay for your sins. You have no right over her after what you've done to her for so many years. She longed for her father's love, and you ignored her. This is your punishment. So we will be the ones to make this announcement. However, you are invited to this party, and of course, you can invite your guests as well," Alessandro interjected, turning toward Leonardo."...And Leonardo," Alessandro continued, locking eyes with his son, "make sure every influential name attends this party. It will be beneficial to make more connections and expand our territo

    Sofia gasped, her perky breasts covered in a pink silk bra now exposed before his eyes. "Oh my god, Leonardo! What are you doing? We're in the dining area, and anyone could come in at any moment," she panicked, glancing around. His innocent wife was always mindful of their surroundings."No one will come, Sofia. I've instructed all the servants to go off duty and not come out of their rooms until morning," he reassured her, having already sent a broadcast to all the household staff to take the rest of the evening off, leaving the house solely for Sofia and him.Leonardo lifted her up and placed her on the table, settling himself between her legs. As she gazed down at him with her big, innocent blue eyes, he felt his heart skip a beat—those eyes had captured him from the first moment he saw them.Trailing his hands up from her ankles, he glided them along her soft, bare legs, moving upward toward her thighs covered by shorts. His gaze darkened as she shivered under his touch, her sensi

    Leonardo pulled the elastic down and tore that piece of fabric into two. He pulled back and picked up the liquid chocolate bucket. He poured some warm liquid chocolate on her smooth pink pussy and watched as it flowed down, spreading over her thighs. He took some more vanilla ice cream and rubbed it on her cut.Her pleasurable moans became more frequent as he waited for her to say the safe word. "Today, I will pleasure you so deliciously that you will never forget," he whispered over her lips. He pressed his finger on her back hole, and she moaned loudly and panicked."One day, baby girl, I am going to claim your virgin back hole," he told her. Her half-hooded eyes widened, showing horror. "How... h... how can you fit in there?" she stammered."Don't worry, baby. When I take your back hole, I will make sure that you are ready, and I will make it more pleasurable. But not today," he said and felt her body relax instantly. He knew she was scared. He was going to claim her body as his o

    It would be much better if he accompanied her on the shopping trip. She wanted him to come."Ah... I want to come. I will try, but I cannot commit as I have some important meetings and lots of contracts and deals to read and sign," Leonardo said, cupping Sofia's face between his hands and caressing her jaw with the pad of his thumb."It's okay, I understand," she replied half-heartedly in a dull voice."Look at me, baby girl. Take your friends with you and buy them some stuff from our side. Have fun and shop with them. That way, you won't miss me," he said, and she knew he wanted her to cheer up."No need, Mr. Morelli. I will be fine on my own, and I don't want to spend your hard-earned money on my luxury," she pressed her hand on his chest."It's also your money, Mrs. Morelli. You can spend as much as you want," he said, smiling at her, making her roll her eyes. When would he stop spoiling her like this?"Okay. Go and get ready. Otherwise, you will be late for your office.

    Sofia found herself surrounded by a myriad of dresses in the exquisite shop, her brows furrowed in a mixture of confusion and anticipation. Domenico had introduced her as Mrs. Sofia Leonardo Morelli, and the attentive staff quickly ushered her toward their finest collection. She moved gracefully through the racks, her fingertips delicately grazing the fabrics as she searched for the perfect attire.A red halter-neck gown caught her attention, its flowing silhouette whispering promises of elegance. She slipped it on, admiring the way the fabric cascaded down to the floor. It was undeniably lovely, yet a flicker of discontent danced in her eyes. Determined to explore other options, she chose a black strapless gown that hugged her curves like a second skin. The dress exuded timeless beauty, leaving her breathless, yet the decision still eluded her. Each garment she tried on was a masterpiece in its own right, further complicating her choice with every new embrace of satin and silk.Yearn

    “You’re not telling her anything,” Domenico added, his tone less of a suggestion and more of a command. “She’ll be broken, Leo. She’ll never be the same after this—and neither will your marriage. You can’t do that to her.”His voice cracked slightly, frustration and desperation laced in every word.“I can’t watch her fall apart,” Domenico continued, his eyes pleading. “You know how much her self-respect means to her. She’s strong, but this… this would destroy her.”Leonardo looked away, guilt tightening his chest. “But… what if she finds out?”Domenico didn’t hesitate. “How?” he snapped, stepping forward. “How the hell is she going t

    Leonardo didn’t answer. Instead, he unbuckled his seatbelt, yanked the car door open, and stepped out without a word.“Where are you going?” Domenico frowned, confused.Sighing, he unfastened his own seatbelt, turned off the engine, and pushed the door open. He stepped out onto the sidewalk, his eyes instantly locking on Leonardo.The mafia king was pacing slowly, hands in his pockets, head low. The road was nearly deserted—just the occasional car speeding by. Above them, the night sky was star-scattered and dark, the moon absent. Street lamps cast pale yellow pools of light on the sidewalk, flickering faintly. It was quiet, almost eerily so.“What’s going on, Leonardo?” Domenico pressed, his voice taut with tension. Panic had begun creeping up his spine ever since Leonardo had admitted he’d done something that could break Sofia’s heart.Leonardo stopped pacing. He looked out at the road like he was hoping it would swallow him whole.After a heavy silence, he finally muttered, “I slep

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 175. Protective Brother

    Domenico drove like a man possessed, the tires screeching against the asphalt as he pulled into the clinic’s private entrance. The second the car stopped, medics were already rushing out. Leonardo had called ahead.Leonardo barely got out of the car before two nurses approached with a stretcher for Rusty, who was unconscious and pale from blood loss. Domenico helped them load him onto it, his jaw tight as he watched his injured man disappear behind hospital doors.Leonardo winced as he clutched his shoulder, blood still seeping through his shirt. A nurse tried to usher him inside, but he waved her off.“Get Rusty stable. That’s the priority,” he muttered.“You both need care,” she insisted.“I said, treat him first.”Domenico rolled his eyes. “For once, don’t be a stubborn bastard.”Eventually, the Italian don allowed them to clean and dress the wound—nothing deep, but enough to sting and tear the fabric of his day. The bullet had grazed him, but the tension in the room made it feel d

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 174. Sold Out

    The musty air inside the warehouse was thick with dust and diesel fumes. Shafts of sunlight slipped through the cracks in the rusted ceiling, cutting across crates of firearms marked with foreign stamps. Leonardo adjusted the cuffs of his black linen shirt, stepping around a crate with slow, measured confidence.Domenico stood at his side, expression unreadable, arms crossed, and a Glock holstered beneath his leather jacket.Anthony Gonsalvis lit a cheap cigar and grinned, the oily kind of grin Leonardo had always distrusted. “Everything's here, Don Morelli,” Anthony said, waving a hand toward the open crates. “Fresh stock. No serials, no loose ends. Clean work.”Leonardo gave him a long, quiet stare. “I don’t give a damn about the wrapping, Anthony. What’s the price?”Numbers were exchanged, fake smiles offered. Domenico crouched beside a crate, pulling out a semi-automatic and inspecting the chamber. Everything seemed legit—too legit.Then came the sound.A sharp whistle. Tires scre

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 173. The Guilt

    The soft rustling of the curtains filled the quiet bedroom as the moonlight streamed in through the open windows, casting silver streaks across the floor. The night air was cool and still, carrying with it a sense of calm that the couple hadn’t felt in days. Dinner had been quiet, filled with concerned glances from Leonardo’s parents and affectionate giggles from their children, Vincenzo and Lucia. But now, in the sanctuary of their room, it was just the two of them—no distractions, no interruptions.Sofia sat on the edge of the bed, brushing her fingers over the blanket absentmindedly. Leonardo stood by the door for a moment, watching her. She looked fragile in the dim light, her hand resting protectively over her belly, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks.He finally walked toward her, kneeling in front of her like a man seeking redemption.“I owe you an apology,” he said softly. “Not just for last night, but for all the times I let my anger win. For making you feel like y

    When Leonardo finally arrived home in his disheveled state, guilt weighing heavy on his shoulders, he found Sofia waiting for him near the front door. Her phone trembled in her tight grip, and the moment she saw him, she shot to her feet, rushing toward him.She threw herself into his arms, her body shaking as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Where were you the whole night, Leonardo?” she cried, her voice breaking. “Who does this to his pregnant wife after a small fight, huh?”Her sobs echoed in the hallway as she pressed her face against his chest. Leonardo’s heart shattered at the sound of her pain. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as though he could shield her from everything—including himself.“I’m sorry, amore mio,” he whispered, lowering his head and pressing his lips to her hair. “It won’t ever happen again. I swear.”Sofia pulled back slightly, just enough to look into his stormy grey eyes with her tear-filled blue ones. Her voice was soft, but the words st

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 171. A Mistake

    Leonardo stared at Ava, his heart sinking with helplessness. He still couldn't believe what had happened. The reality of his marriage, his love for Sofia, stood like an immovable wall between them. No—he loved Sofia, more than words could ever express, and the mere thought of betraying her, even if he didn’t remember every detail of the night, made him feel like a criminal.God, what have I done?He turned his gaze away, guilt consuming every corner of his mind. Ava was sitting on the edge of the bed, the sheet pulled around her like a fragile veil, watching him with eyes full of something that looked like hope. But staying here any longer would only be a bigger mistake. Whatever happened last night—it shouldn’t have.“I have to go,” Leonardo muttered, already stepping toward the door.His hand had just touched the knob when a trembling voice froze him in place. “Leo…” Ava whispered, her voice broken. “I’m very alone.”He stood still, his back to her. The image of Sofia’s face flashe

    Ava reached out, her fingers tracing lightly along Leonardo’s chest as she whispered soft, seductive words into his ear. But even in his dazed state, his reaction was immediate and fierce—he jerked away, his eyes clouded and nearly closed, yet his actions were furious as he shoved her hand aside with surprising strength.“Ouch,” she muttered, stunned more by the rejection than the force. His body was firm, solid like carved marble, and every part of her ached with longing. She had dreamed of this moment for years, and now that he was here—in her home, in her bed—she couldn't accept defeat.But it was clear: he wasn’t yielding.Frustrated, Ava stepped back and signaled her driver, who had been waiting just outside the door. Without exchanging a word, he entered the room and silently helped her undress Leonardo—his limbs heavy, his consciousness fading. She administered another dose of the sedative, watching his breathing slow as the drug took effect.Only then did she dismiss the drive

    Sofia didn’t want to call her—not now, not ever. It went against every ounce of pride she still had. The very idea of reaching out to her to ask about her own husband made her stomach twist with humiliation. But her instincts as a wife were louder than her ego. Something deep within her, something raw and unexplainable, told her she had to find Leonardo—and that she would do whatever it took.With a shaky breath, she tapped the name on her phone screen. The dial tone rang only twice.“Ava, hi,” she said softly as the call connected, trying to sound composed.There was a pause before Ava responded, her voice low, almost too calm. “Sofia,” she said, the way one might say the name of an unexpected guest. “What makes you call me today?”Sofia hesitated, swallowing the lump in her throat. “Um… is my husband with you?” she asked carefully, every word laced with tension.There was a sharp inhale from the other side.“Your husband? And you don’t know where he is?” Ava’s tone instantly shifted
