CassioThe steady beeping of the monitor was the only sound in the room.I sat on the couch across from Sophie's hospital bed and watched her sleep. I hadn't looked away in almost three hours. Not since the doctor had finally finished examining her. Not since he had assured me for the fifth time that she was fine.The word still felt ridiculous.There was nothing fine about what happened.Absolutely nothing fine about my pregnant wife being kidnapped.Nothing was fine about finding her tied up in a filthy warehouse surrounded by men who thought touching what belonged to me was a good idea. Yet, compared to what could have happened, Fine was acceptable.The doctor had confirmed there was no internal bleeding.No injuries beyond dehydration, bruising, and exhaustion. And most importantly, the baby was unharmed.The moment I'd heard those words, something inside me had finally loosened. Sophie's chest rose and fell steadily beneath the blanket. She looked peaceful My gaze softened as

I love you

SophieThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was the silence.Not the sterile silence of a hospital. Not the constant beeping of monitors.Not the faint sounds of nurses moving through hallways.But the kind of silence I was very familiar with. For several seconds, I remained still. Confused about the development. The mattress beneath me felt wrong. It was too comfortable.The blanket draped over me felt familiar too.Slowly, I opened my eyes.My gaze landed on the ceiling and immediately, I knew I was home. I wasn't in the hospital anymore. I was home.More specifically, I was in our bedroom.Relief hit me so suddenly that my eyes burned.I was home.The nightmare was over.A warmth around my hand drew my attention and my eyes lowered.Large fingers were wrapped around mine. It was possessive and protective at the same time. I didn't need to look to know who it belonged to.A small smile touched my lips. Then I turned my head.My husband sat beside the bed.His large frame occ

Diabolical

Sophie I stared at my husband.My very suspicious husband.The sheepish expression on his face wasn't helping his case at all. In fact, it made me even more suspicious.Because Cassio Moretti was not a sheepish man.He was many things.Terrifying. Possessive. Overprotective. Ruthless.But sheepish?Never.Which meant whatever he was hiding had to be bad. Very bad.I folded my arms across my chest. "Cassio."His expression remained innocent. Or at least what he probably considered innocent.Considering this was the same man who could order someone's death while eating breakfast. It wasn't particularly convincing as he'd love to portray. "Cara....""No." I pointed a finger at him.His gaze immediately dropped to it. Then slowly returned to my face."You are hiding something."His jaw tightened. Just slightly.But It was enough for me to recognise the discomfort in it. "I knew it.""Sophie.""What did you do?"His silence lasted approximately three seconds.Three very suspicious sec

Trauma

SophieA week had passed since the kidnapping.Seven whole days.Seven days of being surrounded by security. Seven days of being watched like I might disappear if someone looked away for too long.Seven days of Cassio refusing to let me out of his sight. Not that I could entirely blame him.After all, I'd been kidnapped right 'under his nose'. His words, not mine. Still, I was beginning to feel like a very pampered prisoner. Cassio had practically moved his entire life home.His meetings were held from his office.Anything that could be handled remotely was handled remotely.The only time he left the estate was when something absolutely required his physical presence.And even then, he was gone for the shortest amount of time possible.I had once joked that my husband ran half the city. Apparently, he could do it from our house.The man was annoyingly efficient.My gaze drifted toward the phone resting beside me.The screen lit up. There was another message.I didn't even need to loo

Therapy

Sophie"So, where should we do this?"The question pulled me from my thoughts.I blinked at Nina. "Oh." Right.The Therapy.For a moment, I'd been so busy psyching myself up for the conversation ahead that I'd forgotten we actually needed somewhere to have it.I glanced around the living room.Then i shook my head. "Not here."There were too many people passing through. Too many hiding in the shadows. Too many distractions.Too many opportunities for me to change my mind.I stood from the couch. "I have an office."Nina rose smoothly to her feet. "Lead the way."The office wasn't large. Unlike Cassio's office, which looked like it belonged to a CEO preparing to take over the world, mine was much more comfortable.A large desk sat near the windows. Bookshelves lined one wall.A couch occupied one corner.Several plants added life to the room. It was my space.My little sanctuary whenever I worked from home.The moment we stepped inside, I felt myself relax slightly.Nina took a seat on

Nightmares

CassioI stared at the document open on my laptop. I'd been looking at the same page for the past ten minutes.Maybe longer. I couldn't tell.Because I hadn't read a single word.The board meeting had ended almost an hour ago and yet I was still sitting in my office pretending to work.The problem was that my mind refused to cooperate. Every thought eventually led back to Sophie.It always did. Three weeks had passed since the kidnapping.Twenty one days. Twenty one days since I had walked into that warehouse and found my wife tied up in a dirty and dark room. Twenty one days since I had nearly lost everything. And somehow it still felt like yesterday.A knock sounded against the office door."Enter."The door opened and Trisha stepped inside.The older woman looked exactly as composed as she always did."Mrs. Moretti has gone to your room"My attention immediately shifted toward her and I narrowed my eyes, wondering why she was informing. Then I remembered I had spent the last fe

A step at a time

SophieA Month. That was how long it had been since the kidnapping.Thirty-one days.Thirty-one days of staying inside the estate.Thirty-one days of security escorts.Thirty-one days of Cassio watching me like I might vanish if he blinked.I love my husband. I really do. But if I stayed trapped inside this house much longer, I would lose my mind. Which was why I found myself standing in our bedroom, arms folded across my chest as I stared at said husband.Cassio stared right back. Neither of us looked particularly pleased."No."I sighed, already expecting the rejection "Cassio.""No." He insisted with a frown. "Cassio.""No."I pinched the bridge of my nose. We had been having the exact same conversation for nearly ten minutes and it wasn't getting us anywhere. "I am going to lunch.""No."I dropped my hand. His answer hadn't changed.Across the room, Cassio sat on the couch with a document in one hand and a tea cup in the other. Neither had been touched in the last five minut

Step by step

SophieThe moment I entered the reserved section of the restaurant, I spotted them.They were seated at a table near the large windows, deep in conversation.For a moment, I simply stood there and stared as it hit me just how much I'd missed them. The realization caught me completely off guard.I'd spent the past few weeks surrounded by people.Cassio, obviously. My therapist, who had been doing a great job. My mother-in-law, who visits every Sunday, because that was the only day Cassio allowed her to come to our home. Security, because they were doing their jobs. I was never truly alone.And yet seeing Emmy and Leona now felt like I'd finally found something I'd been missing.Emmy looked up first. The moment she spotted me, her eyes widened."Sophie!"Leona turned immediately. And the next thing I knew, both women were out of their seats and hurrying toward me.I barely had time to react before Emmy wrapped her arms around me."Oh my God."She squeezed me tightly. "I missed you.

Victory

CassioI had checked my phone fourteen times in the last twenty minutes.Not that anyone was counting. I certainly wasn't.The fact that I knew the exact number was completely irrelevant.My gaze dropped to the screen again.Nothing. No messages. No missed calls. No emergencies.No signs that anything had gone wrong.Which should have reassured me. Instead, it somehow made me want to check again.A knock sounded against my office door."Enter."The door opened and Finn stepped inside casually like he owned the house. I wondered what he wanted because I wasn't informed he was coming. The moment he saw me staring at my phone, he stopped. Then slowly looked at the laptop sitting untouched on my desk.Then back at me. His expression became suspicious."What?" I narrowed my eyes.He sat down across from me."I see you are still micromanaging your wife"That wasn't true. At least, to some extent. I was just worried. "So you came here to gossip?" I asked, my tone flat. He shrugged "Who k

The meeting

Cassio I disliked meetings. Most of them were a waste of time.But I especially hated the ones that would take me out of my house and from my wife's side. This one had the potential to become a bloodbath. Which would at least not make it boring. Thank God for small mercies. I sat at the head of the table inside one of our private properties on the outskirts of the city. Not a club as I requested. A location Tobias had personally selected and swept twice.Finn lounged in the chair beside me, looking entirely too relaxed for a man attending a meeting with a Bratva enforcer.Across the room, several of my men remained stationed near the exits.Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. We simply waited.At exactly noon, the door opened.Every weapon in the room became more alert as a man stepped inside.He came alone. A very interesting behaviour. My gaze settled on him immediately.He was Tall. Broad shouldered. Has dark hair and sharp features. But what stood out to me mostly were his cold and
