Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mafia’s captive: Young Blood, Old Money : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

CHAPTER 21 SOFIA'S POV Mark's eyes widened as Luis babbled excitedly, He frantically tried to signal to Louis to stop talking, hoping the baby wouldn't reveal more. But Luis, oblivious to Mark's distress, continued to chatter, waving his chubby little hands. Mark tried pulling Louis away from me to stop him from spilling but he was too caught up in his own excitement, he clung to my legs struggling with his father while refusing to let me go. Mark's face turned bright red as he mouthed "stop" and "shush" to Louis, who simply giggled and repeated, "Daddy watched you on TV." I grinned mischievously, savouring the moment, then turned to Mark, whose face turned red as he shifted uncomfortably. I teased, "Come on, don't be shy. Admit it, I did great on the interview." Mark's eyes darted around the room, avoiding mine. "I just started watching it," he muttered. I chuckled, "Oh, don't bother denying it. Your secret's out" I winked at him. "It's okay to compliment me, you know. I won't l

CHAPTER 23 MARK'S POV I shook my head, dismissing the idea. "No, Damien. I don't think Sofia would be a good fit." Damien's expression turned quizzical. "Why not, Boss? She's qualified, and—" "I said no, Damien." My tone was firm, cutting off further discussion. The truth was, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Damian's suggestion was motivated by ulterior reasons. Their lunch together still lingered in my mind. Was Damien using this job offer as an excuse to spend more time with Sofia? The thought sent a pang of unease through me. I knew I had something to protect but was it my ego or my relationship with Sofia? Damien is good-looking and his charm and charisma made him a magnet for attention, and I couldn't help but wonder if Sofia was immune to it. "Find someone else, Damien," I said, my voice firm. "Sofia is not the right person for this role." Damian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he nodded. "Understood, Boss." As the day wore on, my mind wandered back to the conversa

Chapter 25 Mark's Pov I wanted to come home early for a change when Damian rushed to my office, I was surprised at first because I gave him strict orders to follow my wife today. "Boss you need to see this" He panted stretching his phone towards me and I took the phone from him puzzled by his behavior, then my eyes caught the pictures on the screen. My wife was sitting with a man in a cafe, this must be the friend she talked about but unfortunately, his face wasn't visible. She was stupid enough to go to such an open place, "There is more" Damian interjected and I slid on the next, he was holding her hand at such close proximity. I clenched my fist and my grip on the phone tightened, "Where did you get this?" I asked and he hesitated before replying. "The Internet is trending at the moment" I sighed and loosened my tie so I could breathe properly, how could she be so stupid to go to that cafe it's like a spot for many reporters, this seemed like some sort of trap and s

Chapter 27 Sofia's Pov I was able to manage to get to the bathroom and I recalled asking one of the maids to get me painkillers the other day, I reached for the shelves and opened it taking the bottle of pills. I dry swallowed two pills and leaned on the wall waiting for the pain to subside first before moving, after twenty minutes I was sweating profusely but the pain was getting less and I was able to stand up straight. This isn't cramps and I have no idea of what is going on with me, it's as if my insides were being shredded and sewed back together, I decided to put it behind me for now I need to get my shit together and dress up before his mother arrival. I remembered what they did to me that day and sighed, the pain stopped and I straightened my posture. I can do this and whatever his mother says today I will just ignore her and apologize for the humiliation I was causing, I know she wouldn't fall to rub it in my face that I'm unfit for her perfect son and grandchild

Chapter 29 Sofia Pov I smiled as he walked out of the house it was a relief that he didn't kill anyone because of me, his family would have hated me forever and his mother would have made it her life purpose to throw me out of the house. I headed for the kid's room and Joey was fast asleep while Lois was playing with his toys as usual, I exhaled in relief they would have heard the gunshot and I kind of didn't want them to see their father like that, after all, they are still kids and it might affect them. Protecting Carl from my abusive father has made me realize how important it is to keep kids out of any violent environment, it's my job to shield them from these things as their mother. I went downstairs for breakfast and took my phone along with me, I found out I wasn't trending as much as before and most of the articles were deleted. But that doesn't solve anything because people would know that my husband is responsible for it, I need to do something and Mark didn't men
