Chapter 9

Author: Unsweetened Coffee
When I opened my eyes, I realized I was tied up, and someone had changed me into a brand-new wedding dress.

“Sof, you’re awake.” Matteo stood beside me in a tailored suit, holding a glass of water to my lips as he said, “In two hours, we’ll finally be together forever.”

“Are you insane? This is kidnapping!”

Matteo grabbed my jaw and forced the water into my mouth. I was terrified it had been drugged, so I spat everything back out immediately.

“Sof, I told you to come home so many times, but

    The moment I stepped outside, I understood what was happening: Matteo had been surrounded. Caleb and his men had sealed off the entire area, and there was no way out for Matteo anymore.Matteo pulled out a gun and pressed it firmly against my lower back.“Let’s go, Sof. Don’t look back.”Every step I took was small.From a distance, Caleb immediately got out of his car when he saw me. Even from so far away, I could make out the stubble on his face.“Caleb, I didn’t touch her,” Matteo raised his voice. “You can relax now.”“Let Sofia go, and we can talk this through,” Caleb said, half-threatening and half-trying to negotiate. He was clearly afraid I would get hurt in the process. “Or do you want to drag the entire Cross family down with you?”“The Cross family? It has nothing to do with me anymore,” Matteo cursed under his breath.I tried to speak calmly. “Matteo, people can only atone for their sins if they’re alive. Don’t take this to extremes.”Matteo suddenly smiled. “Sof u

    Matteo didn’t refuse. Instead, he closed the car door and draped his coat over my shoulders. When the people came looking for me, Matteo drove them away with a sharp reprimand. I stayed curled up in his arms, trembling uncontrollably, tears soaking through his clothes in large patches.Matteo closed his eyes as he recalled the memory. “If you could go back in time, would you still choose to come to me for help?”“No,” I answered without hesitation.I would rather die in that alley than ever step into Matteo’s car again.“You sure are heartless,” Matteo said, tossing a gun toward me. “Be a little more heartless, will you? Let me die by your hand.”I picked up the gun, aimed it straight at him, and pulled the trigger with a click. The barrel was empty.I lowered the gun slightly, meeting Matteo’s anguished eyes. For a split second, something tight twisted in my chest, but it faded quickly.“I can let you go, but stay here with me for three days.” Afraid I wouldn’t agree to it, h

    The moment I stepped onto that ship, there would be no turning back.Seeing my hesitation, Matteo pulled out a gun and gave a helpless laugh. “Sofia, are you coming with me or staying here?”I felt a lump in my throat. I couldn’t breathe or even swallow.“When did you develop a habit of stealing other men’s wives, Matteo? My wife scares easily and has trouble making decisions. Why don’t you ask me directly instead?”Caleb’s voice came from inside the cabin.Matteo didn’t even turn around. He couldn’t spare Caleb so much as a glance.“Name your price,” Matteo said. “What would it take to give Sofia back to me?”My heart skipped a beat.“The Warrens are no longer content with the domestic market,” Matteo continued. “And the Crosses’ influence is great abroad. Even though the board removed me, I’ve kept plenty hidden over the years. I shall hand over our overseas businesses in the three countries.” I remembered Matteo once telling me that his real power and business empire were

    When I opened my eyes, I realized I was tied up, and someone had changed me into a brand-new wedding dress.“Sof, you’re awake.” Matteo stood beside me in a tailored suit, holding a glass of water to my lips as he said, “In two hours, we’ll finally be together forever.”“Are you insane? This is kidnapping!”Matteo grabbed my jaw and forced the water into my mouth. I was terrified it had been drugged, so I spat everything back out immediately.“Sof, I told you to come home so many times, but you refused every time. I had no choice but to bring you back myself. Everything’s already arranged. We’ll have new identities and live in Canadia. Don’t worry. The money in my trust fund is more than enough for us to live however we want.”“I don’t want that!” I screamed at him, my eyes burning red. “Whatever I felt for you ended on our wedding night!”“You’re lying!” Matteo cupped my face tightly. “It’s been years, and every time this came up, you always looked at me like you still wanted my

    Before she could even get close, the man kicked her away again. The force of it made my heart skip a beat. What kind of man had I fallen in love with before?Riley collapsed onto the floor, coughing violently. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get back up. Caleb waved a hand, and several men immediately stepped forward. They carried Riley away and silently understood his order to deal with everything cleanly.“Sof, look. I told you those women out there mean nothing to me, but I would never treat you like this. Come back to me,” Matteo continued to tempt me, still refusing to give up. Just then, his assistant pushed past the bodyguards standing at the entrance.“Mr. Matteo, this is the Mr. Caleb Warren you’ve been trying to work with!”The smile on Matteo’s face disappeared. Having never been so defeated in his life, he walked out in a daze. Some of his men wanted to follow after him, but Caleb stopped them. What else could a man, who had been crushed in every possible

    Holding a wine glass, I moved through the crowd of wealthy elites. Surprisingly, Riley was there too, but she looked terrible. Her whole body was tense, and she looked afraid of me.In the middle of the laughter and clinking glasses, my eyes accidentally met Matteo’s. He froze for a second before immediately dropping his drink and rushing toward me.“Sof, you’re here? Thank God. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Let’s go home, okay?” His eyes lit up with joy as he grabbed my hand, ready to pull me away.I instantly shook him off. “We’re surrounded by important people. Don’t embarrass yourself.”“Important people?” Matteo said with pride, “Other than being Mrs. Cross, what other identity do you even have? Don’t worry. As long as you come back to me, everything will be fine again. Sof, I’ll make up for how badly I treated you before.”“You can’t fix the past, no matter how hard you try. Watch your words, Mr. Matteo.”“Mr. Matteo?” Matteo let out a dry laugh. “Since when have yo
