YULIA AND PADRINOHis mouth against hers was tender and soft; she hummed against his mouth as he pinned her to the side of the car. He kissed her deep and hard, but she didn't kiss him back. He released her and grinned at her."Let's see if you are lying, and when I find out you lied, I can't tell you what I would do to you."Sofia was not paying any attention to what he was saying. Had he just stolen her first kiss? She knew he was going to do worse to her if he found out that she lied to him. She had to think of a way to escape."I am not lying." She said, lying again."You really know how to get on someone's nerves."Sofia's brows furrowed as Alexander leaned in, a mischievous smile on his face. She quickly turned her head, avoiding his advance. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, causing her to wince in pain."Ouch! Don't you know I have a wrist injury?" She exclaimed, raising her hand to examine it.Alexander, realizing his mistake, shifted his gaze away from her and
YULIAHe handed the menu over to her, and she glanced at it. She didn't have the appetite to eat; after all, she had eaten before leaving the house. She had only come to the restaurant for one thing: to find an opportunity to escape. He had left the envelope in the car, and the only way to get rid of it was to get it out of the car. She tried to focus on the menu but couldn't even concentrate. If she managed to escape, there was no need to get rid of the test result.However, if she failed to escape and trashed the result, He was going to drag her to the hospital and take another test on her. It was useless; she only had to escape and forget about the result. Maybe she would change her name or something."What are you ordering?" He asked her.His words jolted her away from her thoughts and placed them on the table. "Huh?"He placed his hand over hers and gently squeezed it. She withdrew her hand from his and winced from the pain in her wrist. She couldn't help but wonder why he was ac
A rich man's wife—that was what they had called her. She wasn't married, and why would they think a woman can't be rich enough to buy this gown on her own? Then she remembered the jacket that she was putting on. The jacket didn't go with the dress, and it looked like she had been cold, so her husband offered his jacket to her.Sofia took a step back and flashed them a smile. "I'm not a rich man's wife; I am not even married."She waved her hand in display. "See, no wedding ring."The men exchanged glances. The same one who had spoken earlier stepped closer. "Well, you were walking in a dark alley, all alone. Did that ring a bell?"She grinned. "Of course not; I am not scared of walking in a dark alley alone."Sofia guessed the one to speak was their leader. If she could fight them, she had to get rid of the leader first, and maybe the rest would retreat."We will just have to take you and ask your family for money." The same man said "We could really use the cash, so come over here an
He dropped her on the bed as soon as he took her home. He didn't say a word to her and walked out of the room. Sofia hurried to the door and checked if it was locked, and it was. She didn't try to open it or struggle with it; she walked back to the bed and sat on it.She was still wearing his jacket and could smell his cologne. She took off the jacket and tossed it on the floor. Her eyes spotted the camera that was in the room; she knew he was going to be watching her. She raised up her middle finger and rolled her eyes at the camera. Well, call her childish; she couldn't live in a room forever.She peeled off the gown from her body. She stood in the room wearing her pants and the lacy bra Marie had picked for her. She walked into the bathroom and stood under the shower; the head pin was still on her hair. She took out the hair clip and opened it; the screen appeared in front of her eyes.She started typing on it, checking the GPS of the place, and found the address of the building sh
YULIAAs soon as Alexander had left the room, she stood up from the bed and hurried over to his system. She wanted to know the business that he was involved in; it had to be an illegal business, and she knew it. She went through all the computers he had, and soon she was on his Macbook.She had gotten all the business he does; she searched his room for a flash drive and found one. She pushed it into his laptop and waited for everything to move into the flash drive.Just when the file was still processing at 50%, she heard his footsteps approaching. Standing to her feet, she hurried to the door and locked him outside. There was no way she was going to let him in when she hadn't gotten what she wanted."Open the door, Yulia!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.She flinched and glanced at the door. She wound up her hair into a messy bun, and her gaze returned to the screen."Come on," she urged.It was 65% now, she groaned, and she wondered how big the file was that she had to wait thi
YULIAIt had been two weeks since the incident had happened. Sofia hasn't seen much of Alexander; whenever she was outside her room, he appeared. She would take the other direction or hide until he was gone. She would always peek out to see if he was there, and if he wasn't, she would leave her hiding spot.Staying in the house hasn't been so bad. Alexander had ordered someone to give her a phone, and she gladly accepted it. There was no one that she could call because there was literally no SIM card on the phone. She was only able to use the wifi and watch endless reels on Instagram and YouTube.She had information about all the kinds of jobs Alexander does, but she didn't have the chance to use it against him. She had already been suspected, and she was waiting for the time to tan his reputation. She needed to wait for the perfect time to strike.Marie had been checking on her from time to time, but Sofia was not ready to see Alexander. She was pretty sure that he was going to try t
YULIAAlexander gently raised her leg and held it in his hand. He began pulling out the piece of glass that was in her feet. She winced from the pain, and blood began oozing from the cut.Alexander would look at her whenever she winced, and she would avoid his gaze. Soon the maid returned with the first aid kit, and Alexander took the kit from them and opened it.Sofia's gaze followed the movement of his hands, and when he started to clean the cut, She tried her best not to wince in pain by biting her lips; however, she winced. Alexander was surprisingly gentle; she thought he was going to do it in a way that would hurt her, but he didn't.He began blowing air on the injury as he cleaned it. Sofia couldn't help but wonder why he was doing that. She glanced at his dark hair, which was ruffled on his head. His body was still stained with the dish that she had slammed on his face.He pulled out the bandage and wrapped it around her feet. She was lucky enough that only one foot was injured
PADRINO“You messed up!” Alessandro said.“I know, you have told me that thirty times already."They were sitting in the waiting room while Yulia was in the ward. She had fainted when they reached the basement. Alexander had pulled her into his arms and rushed her to the hospital. On the way, Alessandro couldn’t help but scream at his brother non-stop.“I thought you weren’t going to take revenge on her, but I guess I was wrong.” Alessandro scoffed.“I feel bad already; could you stop blaming me? I never knew she didn’t do it.""Like, why didn’t she remember you or your face?” Alessandro asked.“Maybe because of the accident I had, I went into surgery. My broken nose was changed, and my eyes look different.” Alexander replied. “I never knew she was innocent; now I feel like a villain. Would she ever forgive me?”“How terrible have you treated her?"Alexander stared at his brother and said, “You won’t want to know; I messed up big time.”“Just tell me."He wasn’t listening. Was Yulia s
