Sophie’s pov
Sergio’s hand land on his chest, he takes a step back and whines. “Oh that just stabbed me right in the heart Sophie.”
The smirk reformed on his mouth, a colder look gracing his face. He looked like those villains in movies and he was not far from the description. If anything I think I described him perfectly, he was after all, the villain in my story.
He chuckled dryly and brought the cigar to his mouth. He took in a puff and let it out slowly while eyeing me across the room.
“I didn’t think you’d have a single rude bone in your body Sophie. Never took you for what do they call those things again….” He drawled as he struts to his desk and chair and plop down smoothly.
I glared at him, fisting my hands at my sides. I’m tempted to storm his way and smack him right in the face.
His smirk widened as he lounged back. “Oh I remember the word now,”
“A bitch.” He stated chuckling with humor.
I did not find it funny, but I didn’t care to waste my breath by arguing with him.
I only came here for one thing, and one thing only.
To get Christopher Muralo’s address and get Aiden out of jail soon.
I took a step forward. “You know what I came here for Harrington. Give me his address.”
Topanow
Sergio raised a brow, arching it in a way that was mocking. “Who are we talking about here? Who’s address do you want? Who is ‘he’?”
Was he seriously pretending like he hadn’t heard me the first time?
My eyes narrowed. “You know Sergio, I don’t get it. You act like you hate me, yet, you continue to do something to get under my skin. You know, my mom once told me, those who secretly like you, pretend to hate you.”
He looks surprised for a second but then his expression changed.
He snorted. “When did she tell you that? Right before she died?”
I instantly grew cold.
Noticing my stunned expression Sergio continued. “What? Didn’t think I’d find out about you Sophie Bell? Your past? Those who took you under their wing-
I stepped forward. “If you do anything to them-
He waved a careless hand. “I don’t hurt the innocent.”
My jaw hurts as I clench it brutally.
“Unlike someone who caused an innocent death,”
My body stiffened, my blood freezing, my heart throbbing with both pain and fear of where this conversation would lead.
“Caused an innocent person to be placed behind bars. Poor innocent Aiden. Was such a fool back then-
“Don’t you dare say anything about him!” I spat, my hands fisting and ready to slam into bones and skin.
But instead of shutting up, he continued.
“But he’s an even bigger fool now. Someone smart would not make the same mistake twice. Hell, anyone would not make the same mistake twice except for a fool.”
I stormed towards him, anger leading my way.
Sergio got up swiftly when I’m on the opposite side of him, the only thing separating us was the huge oak desk.
His hands slam on the surface, hard. I willed myself to not jump or back away and sent daggers his way.
He’s not fazed.
“And you know what’s funny Sophie Bell? I righted your wrongs.” He stressed on the word righted and wrong, peering at me such coldly that I actually shivered.
“I fixed what you broke.” Again he stressed on the words fixed and broke.
