บททั้งหมดของ THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Sofia's POVMy eyes widened at his question, and I didn't know whether to answer or just keep my mouth sealed. He was smiling at me with expectation, and my mind went blank. “Sofia!” He called my name with a snap of his finger, and I shook my head. “Uhmm.. Dinner! Uhmm…” I stammered, and my cheeks burned with embarrassment. Matteo scoffed and strode over to where I stood slowly. “I'm not sure you have had anything to eat today. You've spent your day taking care of everything and everyone. It's time for you to be taken care of, too, as well.” Mattoe said, and I glanced up at him in surprise. “But…” I wanted to protest, but he grabbed my wrist and walked away with me outside. “There will be no objections.” He said and I didn't have a choice but to go with him. I felt a warmth in my heart, and I smiled all the way till we made it to the car.We arrived at the restaurant and made our reservations. We were seated in a few minutes, and one of the waitresses attended to us. “Good eveni

Mattoe's POV I sat back at the board meeting observing Sofia lead the discussion. My eyes flickered with my eyes glued to her and I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions wash through me. Ever since the night we had dinner together, I have not been able to get her out of mind for even a split second. I admire her, but this feels more than admiration. With each passing minute I spend in her presence. Every conversation where I'm able to hear her voice. Every meeting giving me an insight into her intelligence and a more reason to admire her. I feel drawn to her and even though I have tried cautioning myself several times. I still find myself doing it, and today doesn't seems to be an exception. My emotions seem to be over the top today and I just kept staring at her, not stealing glances this time as I used to. Sofia would catch my eyes once in a while and would pause, clear her throat and continue with her presentation. It made me giggle internally. I love that I'm a

Santoro's POVI sat back on the couch with the TV remote in my hands doing nothing. Ever since I returned from the club where I had seen the mayor and his friends and recorded their conversation. I have felt a little bit at ease even though it has not been easy living through it. I would have exposed their plans immediately, but I had no power or support of sort to cross the line. Mayor Eduardo would have the news removed in seconds that is if it ever made it out. The only way I could win against him is to team up with someone much more powerful.Sofia!Her name rang in my mind once again. I would love to see her and probably get an audience with her. But with my current situation, I'm probably just day dreaming. I don't even have the tiniest amount to fuel my car. How the hell will I get to her? If I show up at her company looking this way. I will be thrown out before I even get the opportunity to speak. News about me is still circulating especially with the latest update which I

Sofia's POVMy mother's voice has been echoing in my head since the last time we spoke about Mattoe. Of course, I have ensured to avoid her completely so she wouldn't have to lecture me all over again about Mattoe. And since she has been spending most of her days at the hospital taking care of my brother, Julian. We have not seen much of each other lately. Julian is also yet to open his eyes. The doctors, however, have promised us that he's responding to the treatments pretty well. I heaved a deep as I wonder what she meant by her last words to me before I stormed upstairs, not wanting to hear another word from her. “My mother has no idea how much we hated each other. We are only just starting to get along.” I chuckled and shook my head in denial. There's no way there's anything more to the tension that has always existed between us. It has gotten a little better, at least in a positive way. We are no longer at each other's throat, I especially.My phone chimed at the solemn musi

Mattoe's POVMy breath siezed the minute I laid my eyes on her as she stepped down from the stairs majestically. Her legs carried her body so elegantly that I almost choked on my saliva from staring too much.The peach floral gown she wore hugged her waist perfectly displaying her figure in the most beautiful way. Her pale skin complimented her makeup and I must say that I have never seen her look this feminine. Her black long hair flowed seductively down her back and I was almost close to rushing towards her and grabbing it. Finally her face came into view and her succulent lips was the first thing my eyes captured. Her lips curved up into a smile and my lips spread widely as well. My eyes trailed up her face and her eyelashes fluttered slowly. That moment it dawned on me that I have fallen in love with Sofia and my feelings are stronger than something that I can control. She walked closer to me and I drew back involuntarily. Every fibre of my being screamed for me to run back,
