His'(Crazy Erotica)

Sophia turned and faced Valerie. “Hey Valerie,”

“Uh uh,” Valerie shook her head. “It’s meant to be Val. You’ll call me Val from now on, hmmm?”

Sophia smiled and nodded her head. “How have you been? How was the program?” Valerie and Luciano had left the country for a week to attend a program and were probably just back.

“Let’s talk about that when you return from college. I was about to come in when I saw Lucas and a few men arranging some books for you. Said it was for college,”

“College?”

Luciano’s voice came from behind Sophia. “Valerie, I think that was supposed to be a surprise, and you just ruined it for Don,”

Valerie’s eyes widened, and she palmed her mouth. She then dropped her hand to her sides. “But Don never surprises people. I didn’t know”

“Ma’am,” one of Chase’s men walked up to them. He then faced Sophia. “Don has made special arrangements for you to be taken back to college. Everything you’ll need is in the car right now. All we need is you to come with us,”

“Uhh-” Sophia was speechless. She didn’t know what to say. The thrill and excitement in her was just too much, and she couldn’t believe Chase allowed her to go to college. It was euphoric. “I-I’ll go and change these clothes I’m wearing right away”

Sophia was dressed in a simple white tee shirt with a denim jumpsuit above it paired with a wedge while her hair was parked into a ponytail. She just had a simple chain round her neck and a stud earring.

“No, no,” Valerie caught Sophia’s shoulders. “You’re perfectly dressed for college like this. No problems”

Sophia looked over her dressing. “Really?”

“Do you want Don to change his mind?” Luciano asked. He then replied when he saw her panicked eyes. “If you don’t want him to change his mind, you better leave now. Tomorrow, you can dress better if you’re not okay with the one you have on”

Sophia nodded.

Luciano turned to the man. “Alessandro, Don ti ha nominato suo nuovo autista e guardia. Ho ragione?”

{“Alessandro, Don made you her new driver and guard. Am I right?”}

“Si,”

{“Yes”}

Luciano nodded at him with a chuckle. “Faresti meglio a prenderti cura di lei, altrimenti Don ti fara impazzire,”

{“You better take care of her, or else Don is having your head.”}

Alessandro managed a small smile and motioned to Sophia. “Let’s leave now if you’re ready”

“I-I’m ready” She turned to Valerie, who had a huge grin on her face. “Bye” and then Luciano. “Bye”

“Bye, sweet cheeks,”

“Bye, Soph,”

She left with Alessandro.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Once they both got to the car, Alessandro opened the back passenger door for her, and she slid in. “Thanks,” She tried closing the door herself, but he didn’t let her.

Alessandro brought out an envelope from his back pocket and handed it to her. “Don ordered that you read it before we leave”

Sophia stared at the black envelope in confusion. Even his envelopes were black. Wow. “T-thanks,” She collected it and opened it as Alessandro shut the door.

Sophia stared at the handwriting in the short note. It was beautiful, elegant even neat, crisp and stylish. Sophia wasn’t sure if it was just her, but his handwriting had its own sense of dominance and confidence in it. Another thing added to the list of things she loved about Chase. She giggled silently at the thought.

Gattina,

I know you went to see that scrawny boy this morning. I’ll let it slide because he took my warnings seriously after getting tortured.

I let you go to college doesn’t mean you have all the freedom in the world. You are not allowed to go anywhere apart from college and its canteen. If you need something, talk to Alessandro about it and make it snappy. You won’t go back to your Nana or that small coffee shop you work in.

Study well, I want you to have a good future. And lastly, the main thing, don’t talk to or let any boy touch you. I’ll skin anyone who touches you alive. We both know that. And I don’t need to tell you why.

Once she was done reading the note, Sophia tucked it inside the bag beside her-one she knew was the new one she had gotten.

Her fingertips grazed the textbooks on the seat with her as Alessandro drove while her mind stayed glued to the words in the note.

“We are here” Alessandro opened the back door for her, and Sophia got down, clutching her bag and books.

“Thanks,” She offered a small smile.

“I’ll help you carry them,” He collected the books and her bag from her before she could even protest.

“Hand them over here,” The deep voice that belonged to the man who only bullied Sophia throughout her stay in the Romano mansion came from behind Alessandro.

“I-Lucas,” She stuttered, afraid to meet his gaze. “I’ll collect them instead. Thanks,” she said. She passed her hand to collect it from Alessandro before Lucas, but he beat her to it.

Lucas adjusted the bag over his shoulder and the textbooks on his arm, his voice cold, just like Chase’s and giving her no space for argument. “I’ve finished your whole registration process. Allow me to do this”

So that was why he was there even before her? Her registration. She thought. “I-,”Sophia turned to look at the familiar building of her college and then back at him. “I didn’t need registration. I already started college before. I would have just continued from where I left off before that night,”

“Don ordered so, Sophia” That was the first time he had ever called her name, and it had a strange softness to it even though he had never treated her like that. “Not to worry about though, you’ll still be together with your friends. Just a few formalities changed”

Sophia opened her mouth to speak. “What do you ”

Lucas ignored her and turned to Alessandro. “Vai. Mi prendero cura di lei e tornero con la mia macchina,”

{“Go. I’ll take care of her and return in my own car.”}

“Okay, sotto capo,” Alessandro nodded and did as he was told.

{“Okay, understand boss}

Once Alessandro left, Sophia turned to Lucas. “You know, you don’t have to help if you really don’t want to,”

Instead, he ignored her again , grabbed her small wrists, and then pulled her into the school building.

She tried talking to him but he just kept his normal stoic face on. For a few seconds, she’d think she caught a glimpse of a few emotions crossing his face but since he was good at masking his face with indifference, she’d just shake it off.

“Thanks,” She passed him a small smile when they both stopped in front of her classroom.

Lucas helped her strap her bag over her shoulder and quietly passed her the textbooks, all the while ignoring the look of confusion on her face.

When Sophia turned to leave, Lucas held her shoulder. “Sophia”

Sophia turned to him, confusion apparent all over her face. “Is there any other-“Her remaining words died on her lips when he pulled her in for a bare hug.

Lucas whispered out. “Buona fortuna sorellina,”
