Sofia's POV We walked slowly to his car in total silence, and then he turned towards me all of a sudden. “Thanks for inviting me over to dinner once again. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.” He said out of the blue with a smile, and I glanced up at him because I wasn't expecting him to say that.He was mostly quiet all through the dinner. At first, I thought he probably didn't like the food, but then he emptied his plate in a few minutes, then I thought perhaps he didn't like my dress. Not that it mattered, but I put so much thought into my dress just to look good. But then my heart melted when he spoke up for me when my mom got unnecessarily worried. No man has ever defended me like that, and I couldn't help but let down my guard at the table. “You are welcome, I hope we can do this often.” I said without thinking and immediately bit down my lips to stop me from speaking. That was not what I meant to say, but it came out anyway. “Really?” His voice softened, causing me to shiver, a

Sofia's POV“As my father has announced to you all, I will be anchoring the fundraising.” She began by saying, and I rolled my eyes at how shallow minded she can be. The only thing her mind is filled with is trying to compete with me and prove who is better on is. She continued her speech, and I just listened in with my lips pressed together, and my legs crossed over each other. “Thank you…” She concluded her speech, and everyone gave her applause, including myself. She climbed down the stage, and some men brought out the items that were to be placed on auction. On the table where I sat, the voting card was already placed on the table, and I smiled as I saw it. “The night is about to get even more interesting.” I grinned with my fist clenched against the table. “This first item on display is this beautiful artwork by the famous Mario…” The host went ahead and explained while everyone got ready to bid their prices. “$1,000” one of the guest started off the bid.“$1,200” Another

Sofia's POV The blood on Lucia's face wiped off and I was so close to bursting into tears. But since we are all pretending, I didn't have any choice but to play along. Isabella's eyes widened, and she looked back at Lucia, but she was also dealing with her own thoughts at the moment. “What is that supposed to mean? A camera? How does that affect anything?” Lucia scoffed, trying to do damage control, but it was already too late for her. “It meant exactly what I said. A camera is planted into each of my clutches, purses, and handbags. I do that for security reasons. Who would have thought it would be useful at a time like this?” I said with my hand placed dramatically on my chest. “You really don't need to do that. I have my necklace now, and that's all that matters. I forgive you, and I'm going to tell the reporters here not to broadcast a single thing about what just happened here.” She spoke so fast that one would think she was rapping to some music. “My father will s

Sofia's POVMattoe's gaze held mine for minutes without letting go. My breath grew heavy and my cheek burned with a whirlwind of emotions dragging through me.“From the moment I wake up to the moment I close my eyes, all I worry for is your safety.” Mattoe's voice was low yet it rippled through my being and my heart melted on the spot. “You keep rising and you have so many enemies now. And I can't help but feel terrible that my assistant is one of such people.” He said with his eyes flickering with guilt.“So hell no! I'm not worried about Isabella. She laid her bed, so she must lie on it. Do with her whatever you so please. But I am damn worried about you, Sofia.” His eyes softened and so did mine. I felt a pinch in my heart as he said those words, one can tell the extreme guilt laced in them. I reached out to him and touched his hands. “It was not your fault. You didn't know she was going to chose that path. I'm not angry at you.” I shook my head and lifted his chin up using my f

Sofia's POV.The next few days went by as fast as it came. After my visit to the hospital to see Julian, I have been feeling restless. “It's not your fault, and you have every right to feel the way you want.” Matteo's words echoed in my head once again bringing a smile to my face. “Miss Estaban!” I heard Sylvia's voice and zapped out of my thoughts. She has finally mastered the art of driving me insane. “What do you want?” I asked her with my eyes still glued to the screen. “The meeting with the investors starts in ten minutes and everyone is waiting for you ma'am.” She informed me and I nodded my head in acknowledgement. “Thank you, Slyvia.” I rose from my chair and buttoned up my shirt. I approached the conference room with Slyvia following after me with some files in her hands. A major international corporation, GlobalTech Industries, approached Esteban Global with a partnership proposal three days ago. The offer seems incredibly advantageous, shared resources, combined mar
