Chapter 1. Prologue

Sofia's heart pounded in her chest as the rain pelted against the windows, matching the rhythm of her mother's sobs. She could hear her mother's footsteps pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting for her husband to come home. Then, suddenly, the sound of a car pulling up to the house cut through the storm. "Mama, he's here!" Sofia whispered, barely audible over the sound of the rain. She watched as her mother rushed to the door, wiping away her tears and plastering on a fake smile. "Welcome home, dear," her mother said, her voice shaking. Sofia's father strode into the house, a beautiful woman in his arms. Sofia recoiled at the sight of her father's mistress, but her mother put on a brave face. "Who is this?" her mother asked, trying to keep her tone light. "Is everything alright?" "Everything is fine," her father sneered, pushing her away. "Can't a man have a little fun?" Sofia knew this just wasn't right, although she was just a child! Her mom's fingers trembled as

Chapter 2. Living In Hell

*Seven Years Later*“Sofia, come to my room quickly.” Sofia heard her stepmother, Emma, calling her. She felt a pang of hunger in her stomach, but she knew she had to obey her stepmother's command. Sofia covered her plate and placed it on the slab before leaving. She couldn't risk facing the consequences of disobeying her stepmother.After her mother's death, her life became a living hell. Her stepmother didn't provide her with enough food to eat or proper clothes to wear. Sofia wasn't allowed to enjoy any luxuries in her father's mansion; she was treated as nothing more than a housemaid. Emma, her stepmother, justified her actions by claiming she was disciplining Sofia, fearing that without her mother, Sofia might turn out to be whore due to her mother's poor family background.Sofia was confined to the house and forbidden from attending any social gatherings or her friends' birthday parties. She wasn't even allowed to have any friends. Today after gathering all the leftover food from

Chapter 3. Substitute Bride

“I won't marry that girl!” Leonardo shouted angrily, throwing the contract papers off the table. Alessandro, looking out of the window, listened to his son’s outburst. The study, lavishly decorated with antique furniture and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, was thick with tension."Leonardo. Try to understand. This wedding is very important for this merger," his father declared nonchalantly."No, Father, it is not fucking possible. I won't marry a slut like her," Leonardo refused sternly. "By the way," he narrowed his grey eyes sceptically. "I was supposed to marry Ricci's other daughter. So, why did they change the bride at the last moment?" he scowled."We don't know why they changed the bride. However, this marriage will only last for three years and not a real one, so it doesn't matter who the bride is," his father explained patiently, but Leonardo was not in a good mood to understand those things."Are you serious, Dad? You want me to marry a whore for a business deal ?! You can't f

Chapter 4. My Life Is Screwed

Leonardo entered his friend's condo feeling frustrated and upset. His friend Domenico Russo greeted him with a warm smile, "Hey, Leonardo!" But Leonardo didn't respond. Domenico sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" Leonardo huffed."Father issue!" Domenico snorted.Leonardo scowled.Domenico inquired once more, "Tell me what happened this time."Leonardo, visibly frustrated, responded with clenched teeth, "He has replaced the bride and now expects me to wed that slut, Sofia Ricci, who is deemed worthless by the Riccis.""Why did they change the girl at the last moment? Weren't you supposed to marry Kat Ricci?" asked Domenico, clearly worried.Leonardo sighed deeply and massaged his forehead before pinching the bridge of his nose. "I have no idea," he said, his voice thick with frustration. "My father threatened me, and I have to marry Sofia Ricci. My life is a mess."Domenico sat next to him and gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "I'm sorry to hear that, my fri

Chapter 5. Wedding Day

"What's wrong, darling? You look troubled,” Emma asked Carol, her voice laced with false sweetness."I was thinking about the contract and Sofia’s wedding. I hope it proves to be a good decision for her. But I have doubts because She is not willing to marry Alessandro Morelli’s son," he said, and his eyes were gloomy as he was pitying his daughter. She went near him and rubbed his shoulder.Emma stepped closer to him. “Honey, you’re thinking too much. We’re doing this for her future. I mean, who would marry her anyway, with the kind of reputation her mother has?”She was afraid Carlo would change his decision. She would have buried Sofia with her mother if it were in her hand. Her hatred was so immense she spread the rumor in society that Sofia was a whore, just as her mother was. Because of Sofia and her mother, Emma couldn't convince Carlo to marry her sooner. But when Sofia's mother died, she came into this house, and she made sure Sofia would live a life worse than hell. Getting

Chapter 6. Wedding Night

The wedding rituals finally ended and Sofia and Leonardo now stood as husband and wife. The media were all over the place, capturing every moment and detail of the ceremony. The Riccis and the Morellis really outdid themselves and made it a grand event that everyone would remember for years to come. After the wedding, they all made their way to the ballroom. Leonardo was seated next to Sofia, engrossed in his phone. Sofia was too nervous to glance over at him, but she noticed him furrowing his brow out of the corner of her eye.Sofia furrowed her brow as she watched Leonardo answer his phone. She couldn't hear anything from where she sat, but Leonardo's expression had quickly soured. Without a word to her, he got up from their table and began walking away, still speaking into the phone. Sofia was left sitting alone in the ballroom, wondering what could have possibly upset him so much.As the announcement for the newly-wedded couple's first ballroom dance was made, everyone noticed th

Chapter 7. Confused Feeling

Leonardo jolted awake in the middle of the night. Something felt wrong. The room was quiet, but a sense of dread pressed on his chest. Then he saw the blood on the sheets. His heart sank. It all came back—he had slept with Sofia. And she had been a virgin.He stared at the stain, feeling sick. Guilt surged. He hadn’t known. He hadn’t asked. He had just taken what he wanted. It wasn’t force, but it wasn’t kindness either. He’d been reckless, desperate. Now the memory burned like shame.He cursed under his breath, sitting up. Why hadn’t he realized it? Her silence, her fear, the way she trembled—he had noticed all of it, but ignored it. He had told himself she wanted him too. That she came to his room because she was willing. But now, none of it felt right.And yet, something else disturbed him. Sofia wasn’t like the rumors. People said she was plain, even manipulative. But he didn’t see that. From the first time he saw her, he found her beautiful. Not just physically—there was somethin

Chapter 8. Morning At The New Place

Sofia felt like she was floating. In her sleep, everything was soft and warm, as if she were wrapped in clouds. She clutched the blanket, unwilling to wake from the peaceful dream. But then someone shook her gently and called her name.As her eyelids gradually lifted, she struggled to adjust to the blinding brightness that flooded her vision. She squinted, and blinking repeatedly she attempted to clear her vision until her eyes finally adjusted to the intense light. It was then that she noticed a young woman standing directly in front of her, regarding her with an expression of complete disinterest.Sofia sat up quickly, guilt washing over her. She had slept too long. Back at her father's house, she always rose early to cook and clean. She feared punishment for waking late—and now, in a new home, the same fear returned.As she moved, she realized something strange. This bed was soft, the blanket warm and silky. Her mind raced as she tried to piece together the events of the previous e

Chapter 9. Bad News

As the clock struck afternoon, the grand mansion was eerily quiet, save for the soft shuffling of the servants' footsteps. It was a lonely place, once occupied only by the reclusive Leonardo. But now, Sofia had to start her first day in this sprawling estate. After having breakfast, Leonardo checked some mail and looked at some documents on his laptop.Sofia hadn't still come down. So Leonardo sent a maid to call her for breakfast because it was already eleven in the morning.He was deep in work, focused on his laptop, barely aware of the time. But then a light scent of shampoo and soap drifted through the air. He looked up.Sofia stood in front of him, eyes downcast. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, but somehow, that made her look even more beautiful than the night before. Her skin was clear, her features soft. She looked small and delicate, her figure slim and well-proportioned. If Leonardo hadn’t seen her birth certificate during the contract process, he might have guessed she was y

Chapter 10. First Flight

Sitting beside Sofia was starting to bother Leonardo. He couldn’t explain why, but something about her presence unsettled him. At the same time, her soft scent was distracting—sweet, clean, and strangely calming. It made his chest tighten.He tried to focus on his emails, but he kept stealing glances at her. She didn’t notice. Her eyes were fixed on the window, lost in thought.They were heading to the airport. Leonardo’s eyes kept drifting to her, even as Mark drove in silence. He didn’t even realize they had arrived until the car came to a stop. Mark opened the door, and Leonardo gestured for Sofia to get out first.She stepped out and stood quietly, waiting. Leonardo followed, slipping on his Gucci sunglasses before walking ahead.“Let’s go,” he said simply.Mark carried their luggage and followed close behind.As they neared the private jet, Leonardo heard a soft gasp.“Oh my God.”He turned and saw Sofia staring at the plane, wide-eyed.“Are we… flying in this jet?” she asked, he
