The Mafia’s Substitute Bride

Sofia and Leonardo were both breathing heavily, their bodies intertwined and feeling completely satisfied. Leonardo slowly withdrew from her, causing his release to trickle down from her vagina to the sides of her thighs. He gently pulled down her dress, helping her regain her footing.

“That was incredible, baby,” Leonardo said, a smirk playing on his lips.

Sofia buried her face in her husband’s chest, wrapping her arms tightly around his torso. Leonardo reciprocated by encircling her with one arm and using his other hand to lift her face, making her look into his eyes.

“You are mine, angel, and no one can harm a single hair on your head. They would have to go through me even to come close,” he said, his expression turning serious. At that moment, Sofia couldn’t fully grasp why he was sharing these words with her. It felt as if he was reassuring himself as much as her.

Just when she thought he had finished, Leonardo continued, his voice filled with determination, “I will always be your shield against any danger. I will protect you from every evil eye that dares to look your way. As long as I am alive, no one can harm you.”

Sofia didn’t understand the intensity of his emotions, but she was deeply moved by his unwavering commitment to her well-being. Standing on tiptoe, she threw her arms around his neck and gave him a tender kiss on the lips.

“I know,” she whispered, only two words escaping her lips. As her words reached his ears, the tension in Leonardo’s face eased, and a genuine smile graced his lips-an expression reserved solely for her. Leonardo Morelli was not known for smiling, but with Sofia, he never failed to make her feel cherished and special.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

They spent the entire week aboard the luxurious yacht, indulging in their passions. Leonardo’s desire for Sofia knew no bounds as he made love to her in every corner and every room of the magnificent vessel. His passion was intense, untamed, and dominant, a side of him that Sofia found irresistible. But amidst his fiery nature, he also showered her with love and tenderness, pampering her like no other.

Sofia considered herself incredibly fortunate to have Leonardo as her husband. Before their marriage, she had feared that being wedded to a wealthy and handsome man like him would be a nightmare. However, she soon discovered that she was wrong. Leonardo proved to be the antithesis of her father, a man devoid of compassion. He constantly reminded her that not all men in this world were heartless. He showed his love and affection exclusively to her, treating her with gentleness and speaking to her in a soft, comforting voice, a stark contrast to his demeanor around others.

During their idyllic stay on the yacht, Leonardo oscillated between moments of stress and happiness. Sofia sensed that something was troubling him, but he didn’t want her to worry. He urged her to remain stress-free, happy, and always ready for him. She cherished the intimate moments they shared, marveling at how his words alone could arouse and satisfy her.

As their honeymoon phase drew to a close, they set sail back to the mainland. Stepping off the yacht, they were greeted by their awaiting car. By the time they reached the port, the sun was already beginning its descent, casting a warm glow over the surroundings.

They headed straight home, where Leonardo swiftly changed into his formal business attire and departed for the office. He assured Sofia that he would try to return early, but deep down, she had her doubts. The last time they were away from Genoa for only three days, he had a mountain of pending work. This time, after an entire week away, she was certain he would be compelled to spend the night at the office.

Deciding to rest for the day, Sofia made up her mind to start attending her classes the following day. Her intuition proved accurate as Leonardo arrived home very late. She was already half asleep, nestled in their bed when he joined her. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close, and tenderly kissed her lips. Embracing her tightly, he fell into a peaceful slumber, their bodies entwined in perfect harmony.

The following day, Sofia woke up early, feeling the weight of the upcoming school day on her shoulders. As she rubbed her eyes, she noticed Leonardo already bustling around, getting ready for work. They decided to have breakfast together, cherishing those precious moments before their daily routines took over. After a quick meal and some playful banter, Leonardo bid Sofia farewell and left for the office.

With her mind now focused on the day ahead, Sofia gathered her school books and headed towards the parking lot. As she approached, she spotted a sleek white Audi waiting for her, flanked by her vigilant bodyguards. They formed a protective circle around the car, ensuring her safety at all times. Sofia gracefully settled into the back seat, the soft leather embracing her as she made herself comfortable. Simultaneously, one of the bodyguards assumed the passenger seat, while the others dispersed to their designated vehicles, ready to follow her lead.

The car glided through the streets, and soon Sofia arrived at her school. Two of her trusted bodyguards trailed behind her, their presence serving as a constant reminder of her unique circumstances. One bodyguard stationed himself just outside the classroom, maintaining a watchful eye on the surroundings, while the other accompanied Sofia into the room.

Inside, her friends Enzo and Rena were already seated, their faces lighting up with joy upon seeing her. Rena playfully tugged at Sofia’s arm, guiding her to sit beside her, with Enzo settling in on Rena’s other side.

“Hey Sofia, you’re finally back after such a long holiday,” Rena exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.

Sofia smiled warmly, grateful for the welcoming atmosphere. “Yes, Rena, it feels good to be back. Leonardo planned a surprise for me, and we spent seven romantic days on a yacht,” she shared, a blush creeping onto her cheeks as she reminisced about their time together.

Enzo leaned in, his eyes filled with admiration. “Wow, you’re incredibly lucky, Sofia. Having a caring and loving husband like Leonardo is a dream come true.”

Sofia’s modesty kicked in as she lowered her head shyly. “Yes, I truly am blessed to have such a romantic and caring man as my husband.”

“Whoa!” both Enzo and Rena exclaimed simultaneously, their voices filled with awe.

Rena’s expression suddenly turned mischievous as she changed the subject. “You know, Kat has been looking for you,” she revealed, and Sofia’s eyes widened in fear at the mention of Kat’s name. She knew that if Kat was seeking her out, it couldn’t be good news.

Curiosity piqued, Sofia asked with a hint of trepidation, “What did Kat want?”

Rena continued, her voice tinged with relief, “Kat asked every student about you, but we didn’t say anything. She came to our class for three or four days straight, but then she stopped searching for you.”

Sofia let out a sigh of relief, her anxiety dissipating. “Thank God,” she murmured softly, grateful that Kat’s relentless pursuit had come to an end, at least for now.

“I am sure that Kat had tasted her own medicine that day. Maybe she was looking for you because she wanted to apologize,” Enzo said.

“No way!” Rena and Sofia both yelled simultaneously.

Enzo quickly raised his hand in surrender. “Okay, girls, calm down.”

“There is no way Kat Ricci will apologize to anyone,” Sofia insisted.

“Alright, girls, I take back my words,” Enzo said, mimicking the action of catching something in the air and pretending to put it in his mouth. They all burst into laughter at his funny act.

Fortunately, the teacher arrived, putting an end to their gossiping.

Once the class was over, they all headed to the library to search for some books and gather information on two current topics that their teachers had discussed in class.

“I need your notes one more time, as I missed classes for a week and have to copy all the important notes and assignments,” Sofia pleaded with Rena, hoping for her support.

“Of course, Sofia. What are friends for?” Rena replied warmly, retrieving the notes from her bag and handing them to Sofia.

Enzo also offered Sofia his notes for the classes they shared. Sofia had a lot of pending work to complete, so after returning home and freshening up, she began diligently finishing her overdue assignments. By dinnertime, she had nearly completed all the notes. She decided to call Leonardo to check on him, but he informed her that he would be coming home late once again.

Sofia felt a slight pang of disappointment, but she understood that Leonardo had work commitments. After dinner, she retreated to her room and started watching TV. Suddenly, a knock at her door startled her, and a maid entered the room.

“The fixed line phone is ringing, and someone asked for you, Sofia. You can take the call using the phone in your bedroom,” the maid informed her.

Curiosity piqued, Sofia wondered who could be calling her, as she didn’t have many people who regularly contacted her. Rena and Enzo were the only ones with her number. She picked up the receiver of the fixed line phone in her bedroom, her heart racing.

“Hello?” Sofia cautiously spoke into the phone.

“Hello, Sofia,” a voice from the other end of the line greeted her, leaving her startled.
