Sofia's eyes widened as she stared up at Liam, her heart racing with anticipation. "I had to," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Liam's eyes blazed with intensity, his jaw clenched in anger. "You didn't have to force me," he growled, his voice low and menacing.
Sofia's eyes locked onto Liam's, her gaze unwavering. "You weren't listening to reason," she said, her voice firm.
Liam's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing. "You're going to pay for that," he whispered, his voice dripping with menace.
Sofia's heart skipped a beat as Liam's words sent a shiver down her spine. She tried to push him away, but Liam's grip on her wrists only tightened.
"You shouldn't have crossed me, Sofia," Liam whispered, his breath caressing her skin.
Sofia's eyes flashed with defiance, despite the fear creeping up her spine. "I did what needed to be done," she said, her voice firm.
Liam's eyes blazed with intensity, his jaw clenched in anger. "We'll see about that," he growled, his voice low and menacing.
Liam's lips crashed down on Sofia's, his kiss deep and possessive. Sofia tried to push him away, but Liam's grip on her wrists only tightened, holding her in place.
Despite her initial resistance, Sofia felt her body begin to respond to Liam's kiss. His lips were warm and demanding, sending shivers down her spine.
Sofia's eyes fluttered closed, her mind clouding with desire. She tried to clear her head, but Liam's kiss was relentless, leaving her breathless and wanting more.
As Liam's kiss deepened, Sofia felt her body melt into his, her resistance crumbling. Liam's tongue tangled with hers, sending waves of pleasure through her veins.
Sofia's hands, still trapped beneath Liam's grip, flexed involuntarily, her fingers curling into fists. Liam's lips moved against hers, his kiss growing more passionate, more demanding.
Suddenly, Liam pulled back, his chest heaving with exertion. Sofia's eyes fluttered open, her gaze locking onto Liam's. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.
Sofia's eyes burned with desire as she gazed up at Liam. Without a word, she reached up and dragged him back down, her lips crashing against his.
Liam's resistance was nonexistent as Sofia's kiss ignited a fire within him. He groaned, his lips parting to allow Sofia's tongue to dance with his.
The kiss deepened, becoming more passionate, more all-consuming. Sofia's hands roamed over Liam's chest, her fingers tracing the contours of his muscles.
Liam's own hands came up, cupping Sofia's face as he devoured her lips. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the depths of their passion.
"Beep" beep beep" Liam phone buzzed, breaking the spell of their passionate kiss. He groaned, reluctant to let go of Sofia, but he couldn't ignore the insistent ringing.
He broke away from the kiss, grabbed his phone, and picked up the call. "Hello?"
Sofia's eyes never left Liam's face as she heard a faint voice on the other end of the line. "Please help me... some boys are after me... I don't want to die... please save me."
Liam's expression changed in an instant, his eyes narrowing with concern. He sprang up from the bed, grabbing his shirt and putting it on. "I'll be right there," he said into the phone before hanging up.
Sofia's heart sank as she recognized the voice on the other end of the line - Emilia's. She felt a pang of jealousy and hurt, but she tried to push it aside, concerned for Emilia's safety.
Liam stared at Sofia, his eyes cold and distant. "I have to go," he said, his voice firm.
Sofia's eyes flashed with determination as she blocked Liam's way. "You're not going anywhere," she said, her voice firm. "You can send your men to rescue her. You're not feeling well, Liam. I don't want to lose you."
Liam's expression didn't change, his eyes still cold and hard. "I'm fine," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "And I don't need your permission to go. Emilia is in trouble, and I won't let anything happen to her."
Sofia's eyes narrowed, her heart aching with hurt. "You're going to risk your life for her?" she spat, her voice venomous.
Liam's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't deny it. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe," he said, his voice cold.
Sofia's eyes stung with tears as she realized the truth - Liam loved Emilia, not her anymore. She felt a pang of jealousy and hurt, but she tried to push it aside, her pride wounded.
"If you love her so deeply, why didn't you marry her?" Sofia asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you choose me instead?"
Liam's expression didn't change, his eyes still cold and hard. "I made you my wife for the meantime," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I didn't choose you or marry you out of love. Our marriage is just a contract, nothing more."
Sofia's eyes widened in shock, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She felt a stinging sensation in her chest, as if her heart was being ripped out.
Without another word, Liam walked past Sofia, leaving her standing alone, her heart broken into a million pieces.
She stood there, frozen in place, as Liam walked away, leaving her with the harsh reality of their marriage. A contract. Nothing more.
Tears pricked at the corners of Sofia's eyes as she whispered to herself, "Why did I ever think it was more?"
Sofia stood frozen, her eyes fixed on the empty space where Liam had just been. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her.
She couldn't believe what Liam had just say, he will do anything even his own life to keep her safe, there marriage a contract, Nothing more? It was like a slap in the face, a harsh reminder that she meant nothing to him.
Sofia's eyes stung with tears as she turned and walked away, her heart heavy with sorrow. She felt like she was walking through a nightmare, one that she couldn't wake up from.
As she walked, Sofia couldn't help but think about all the times she'd tried to get close to Liam, all the times she'd tried to make him see her as more than just a contract wife. But it had all been for nothing.
Sofia's tears began to fall, streaming down her face as she realized the truth. She was just a pawn in Liam's game, a game she didn't even understand.
With a heavy heart, Sofia walked back home the sound of her own sobs echoing through the empty halls.
She thought for a moment, her mind racing with the possibilities. Knowing Emilia's is not a good person forget about her innocent look. Sofia suspected that this was more than just a distress call. Emilia was a master manipulator, and Sofia wouldn't put it past her to use underhanded tactics to get what she wanted.
With a determined glint in her eye, Sh picked up her phone and dialed a number. It rang a few times before a smooth, velvety voice answered.
"Hey, Young Miss S," the voice said, a hint of amusement underlying the tone.
Sofia didn't waste time on pleasantries. "Bloody, I need a favor. I need you to track someone's car for me."
Bloody chuckled on the other end of the line. "Alright, alright, What's the plate number?"
Sofia rattled off Liam's car plate number, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. "Be quick, Bloody. I don't know what Emilia's capable of."
