I suggested that she take some time to rest until you came," Emma replied, her voice quivering slightly as she tried to maintain an innocent facade.Leonardo's voice boomed again, filled with anger and impatience. "Where the hell is the guest room?" he bellowed, his frustration echoing through the space.Carlo Ricci, standing at the top of the staircase, intervened forcefully, his voice resonating with authority and indignation.

When Leonardo woke up, his eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in an unfamiliar bed.

The sterile scent of disinfectant lingered in the air, and the steady beeping of machines filled the room with an eerie rhythm.His gaze shifted, and his heart skipped a beat when he spotted Sofia sleeping peacefully on a chair beside his bed.

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.

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. You h

"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

"She has come around over the years," Bella said with a soft smile, remembering those hard days. "Now she's been very nice to me," she assured him."Strange," Leonardo taunted, his tone skeptical."Shut up. My mother-in-law isn't a bad person, okay?" she protested."Whatever," Leonardo scoffed. "I'm just glad she's good to you.""Yeah, she's happy to have me as her daughter-in-law," Bella grinned proudly.Leonardo watched his cousin with a rare sense of contentment. Seeing Bella so happy, so at ease, brought him a measure of peace he hadn’t realized he needed. He had always worried about her—her future, her choices—but knowing she had found a loving husband in Matteo reassured him that she had chosen wisely.“She takes me everywhere, even to all those fancy kitty parties,” Bella said with enthusiasm, her eyes shining. “She introduces me to all her friends, as if she’s showing off a prized possession.”Leonardo chuckled, his lips curling into a smirk. “Oh, so she likes you because she

"Bella, let's go," Sofia said, holding her arm, but Bella didn’t budge, determined not to let go of this matter.Sofia sighed, looking at her fuming face. "Bella, forget him. Let's go. I have a lot to talk to you about. By the way, I have to complain. Why did you come after such a long time?" she asked with a hint of reproach in her voice.Bella's eyes shifted from her cousin to Sofia, and her expression softened."Aww, I'm sorry, Sofia. I'm so emotional. You missed me! Someone in the family actually missed me," she spoke dramatically. She was such a drama queen, but Sofia loved her sister-in-law."You are such a sweet angel. Leonardo named you correctly," Bella said, suddenly making a puppy face.Now Sofia wanted to roll her eyes at these two dramatic cousins. She couldn't decide whether Bella was on her side or her cousin’s. How quickly she changed."By the way, let's go and leave this stupid Leonardo Morelli alone to go to hell," Bella grimaced, casting a brief glance at her cousin

Sofia glanced at Leonardo, whose frustration was etched across his chiseled face. His stormy eyes locked onto her, a silent warning flickering beneath the surface."Bella, it's a matter between husband and wife. You shouldn't interfere," Leonardo interrupted just as Sofia opened her mouth to speak. His voice was low and firm, carrying the authority he wielded effortlessly. "We'll sort it out on our own."Bella's sharp gaze snapped toward him, unyielding."Leonardo, if you think I'll leave Sofia alone, then you're mistaken." Her voice was steady, but there was steel beneath the calm. "Sofia, you don't need to worry, and you don't have to leave this house. If anyone should leave, it's Leonardo."Bella squared her shoulders, stepping protectively in front of Sofia — a fierce pillar of unwavering support.Leonardo's scowl deepened, his jaw clenching. "Your habit of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong hasn't changed." His voice was sharp, cutting through the tension. "In case you've

Leonardo's hand shot out, gripping her wrist with restrained force. His stormy grey eyes locked onto hers. "Stop it, angel. That's not funny.""I'm not joking," she snapped, yanking her hand away."I made it very clear to you baby girl from the very beginning... divorce is not an option in our marriage." His voice was low, dangerously calm, but the warning in his eyes sent chills down her spine."I won't live with you anymore, Leonardo." Her heart pounded painfully in her chest, but she held her ground. "Our relationship is suffocating. You should be happy — once I leave, you'll be free to play the devoted lover with your friend." Her voice dripped with mockery.Leonardo's eyes narrowed into icy slits. "She is only a friend for god's sake."A bitter laugh escaped her lips. "Girlfriend, friend, soulmate — call her whatever you want. I saw the way you held her... the way she cried in your arms. Don't insult my intelligence by pretending there's nothing between you.""You think too much,

“Fuck!” Leonardo cursed, pushing Ava away. But she clung to his hand.“Leonardo, she’s angry. I think she misunderstood. Let me come with you and explain—”“No,” Leonardo cut her off coldly, shaking her hand away. “I can manage.”Without another word, he bolted out of the room, his heart racing as he hurried after his wife. But by the time he reached the parking lot, Sofia had already climbed into her car and sped off.“Damn it!” he growled, snatching the keys from his driver. He jumped into his own car and followed her, weaving through traffic at a reckless pace.To his relief, she drove straight home. The familiar gates of their villa loomed ahead, but the storm brewing inside the house was far worse than anything he’d faced on the road.Inside, Sofia’s entire being trembled with rage. She didn't know how she had made it home without crashing.

Leonardo was leaving after his meeting with the CEO of SuperTech Innovations, eager to reunite with his wife, when his phone buzzed with a text notification.

Leonardo furrowed in confusion, slipping the phone back into his pocket before following her quietly.As he entered the conference room, Ava stood in the middle of the room with her back facing him.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.Leonardo frowned, stepping closer and pulling out his handkerchief and offering it to her.

Sofia's eyes widened at the unexpected public display of affection, aware they were at an official conference, not in the privacy of their room."I'm sorry, babe. I was stuck in traffic."Liar. But why had he decided to show up at the last moment?Leonardo turned to face the room, his piercing gaze sweeping over the attendees, particularly those who had expressed displeasure with the bid.“Who wants to go against my wife and get blacklisted from doing business worldwide?” His voice was calm, yet the underlying threat was unmistakable.The room fell into a pin-drop silence. Gazes lowered, and no one dared to challenge the intimidating presence of Leonardo Morelli.Sofia suppressed a giggle, watching her mafia husband command the room with ease.

After helping them dress, she guided them downstairs, ensuring they had their bags packed and everything they needed for the day."Bye, Mom!" Lucia shouted joyfully, adjusting the straps of her backpack."Bye, Mommy!" Vincenzo added, running ahead with his lunchbox in hand.Sofia crouched down and placed a soft kiss on each of their foreheads. "Be good at school, my loves.

Lucia promised, flashing a bright smile before hurrying towards the waiting car.Sofia walked with them to the driveway, where the car and their bodyguards stood ready.
