The Mafia’s Substitute Bride

The doctor’s office was suffused with tension as Leonardo kept intimidating the doctor with his demanding demeanor. Sofia, feeling a mix of concern and embarrassment, rubbed her forehead, worried that his behavior might hinder the doctor’s examination.

“I want to be assured about everything. I don’t want to have any doubts. Run more tests if needed, but make sure she and my baby are fit and fine. I can’t afford to take any risks,” Leonardo asserted, his commanding aura filling the room.

As Sofia anxiously observed the situation, she knew she had to intervene before he overwhelmed the doctor. She whispered-yelled at him, trying to catch his attention. “Leonardo!”

His gaze turned towards her, and his demeanor softened as he addressed her with an endearing nickname. “Yeah, baby girl! You just sit and relax. I will handle everything.”

Flustered and embarrassed, she blushed at his choice of words, especially in front of the doctor. She leaned closer, speaking near his ear in a hushed tone. “You can’t talk to a doctor like that. She’s the specialist, and we have to follow her instructions.”

He seemed surprised by her response, shaking his head, but then turned towards the doctor, assuming a more composed facade. “I want everything perfect for her and our baby. So, tell me what you recommend, as my wife wants to hear it, and I have no choice but to listen to her,” he stated, nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.

Sofia flashed an embarrassed smile towards the doctor, hoping her husband’s attitude didn’t make things worse. She knew he was protective, but sometimes his aggression could be overwhelming.

“Mr. and Mrs. Morelli, this being your first child, there are certain precautions to take during the first pregnancy,” the doctor began, explaining calmly. “She should avoid stress and physical exertion, ensure she has proper meals on time, and you, Mr. Morelli, should keep her happy and relaxed. I’m prescribing some supplements for Sofia, make sure she takes them on time.”

Leonardo’s forehead furrowed in response. “That’s it?” he questioned, seemingly surprised that the doctor’s advice wasn’t more elaborate.

“Yes, Mr. Morelli, and if you have any questions, you can ask me,” the doctor said in a humble tone, fully aware of Leonardo’s reputation as an impatient and demanding individual. Nevertheless, she treated him with the utmost respect, recognizing the profound love he had for his wife, Sofia.

Sofia observed Leonardo, her heart fluttering with anticipation about what he might ask next. Surprisingly, he inquired, “When do we have to visit again?” His question showed a sensible and caring side, earning a smile from the doctor.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I have mentioned everything in this prescription. OK, Sofia, take care of yourself,” the doctor responded, leaving Sofia feeling reassured and grateful for her care.

“Thank you, doctor,” Sofia expressed her gratitude as they exited the clinic, holding the prescription and medicine in her hand.

Once outside, Sofia playfully pouted her lips and chided Leonardo, “What was that, Leonardo? You can’t be so rude to a doctor who will be delivering our baby.”

“I can’t help it, baby girl. The doctor was just trying my patience. I mean, she is the doctor, and she can’t tell me that you and our baby are perfectly fine. I had to get some confirmation about you and our baby,” Leonardo explained, his love for Sofia evident as he kissed her cheek. “You both are my life. I can’t take any risks.”

Sofia giggled at how he could switch from stern to sweet in an instant. Still, she had a little complaint. “But you should stop calling me ‘baby girl’ in public. It is so embarrassing to show your affection every time in public.”

Leonardo frowned, misunderstanding her statement. “Are you embarrassed by my love?” he asked, his concern evident.

Quickly realizing her mistake, Sofia rushed to clarify, “No. I didn’t mean that. I mean, you don’t have to tell the whole world about it, you know. It’s our private thing.”

Holding him close, Sofia tried to soothe his tension, explaining her perspective. “But I want to scream to tell the world how much I love you,” Leonardo admitted, a hint of playfulness in his voice.

Unable to resist the overwhelming affection she felt for him, Sofia leaned forward and tiptoed to meet his lips with hers. At that moment, amidst the bustling city and with their bodyguards nearby, she didn’t care who was watching. She wanted to show the world that this remarkable man, the epitome of perfection, belonged to her, and she loved him deeply.

In the midst of the bustling city, Sofia and Leonardo found themselves lost in a passionate kiss. She felt the corner of his lips curve into a smile against hers, sending shivers of delight down her spine. His embrace tightened, pulling her even closer, igniting a fiery connection between them. His tongue ventured into her mouth, and she couldn’t resist closing her eyes, surrendering to the intensity of his affection.

He nipped and sucked on her lips, kissing her with such raw passion that her heart pounded in her chest. Sofia was fully aware of the public setting, but at that moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only them in an intimate embrace.

When Leonardo finally pulled away, Sofia was left breathless and panting, her lips slightly swollen from the intensity of their kiss. The electricity between them lingered, causing her to tingle with desire.

“What are you trying to do, baby girl? Hmmm…? What do you want?” he groaned, his voice husky and deep with desire. “You won’t let me go to the office. If you keep kissing me like this, I will take you home right now and make love for the whole day and night.”

His words sent a surge of anticipation through Sofia, making her bite her lips seductively. She secretly hoped he would choose this passionate encounter over his usual office responsibilities.

“Let’s go. I can’t wait to take you home and make love to you,” he declared, opening the car door for his wife. The way he looked at her spoke volumes about his love and desire.

As soon as they reached their luxurious home, they wasted no time in shedding their clothes, consumed by their burning desire for each other. Sofia threw herself in her husband’s arms. Their bodies entwined in a fiery dance of love, they surrendered to the passion that had been building between them.

In the sanctuary of their private domain, they lost themselves in each other, indulging in a night of intense intimacy and unbridled affection. Their love-making was a celebration of their bond, a passionate exchange of emotions that left them both fulfilled and deeply connected.

The night was a symphony of pleasure, and as they lay in each other’s arms, Sofia felt a profound sense of contentment. Holding each other in their arms, they fell asleep after making intense and hot love countless times.

**********************

Leonardo sat in the ambiance of his spectacular office. His thoughts were overwhelmed by Sofia. He remembered how desperately she had been looking when she told him she wanted a fairytale romance. Their marriage happened in some unwanted circumstances, but now he wanted to give her moons and stars like a real lover who loved his beloved more than anything in this world. He wanted to give Sofia the kind of sweet romance she yearned for in their marriage. Their love was passionate, and she seemed content, but he desired to take her on a date to show her that their love story was more than just intense passion, that it was filled with tender affection too. He had never been one to worry about dates, never felt the need to impress a girl before Sofia came into his life. Now, he was determined to do everything in his power to make her believe that she would never find someone better than him, someone who would love her fiercely until the end of the world.

As he pondered over numerous options, he found it challenging to plan the perfect date. The typical candlelight dinner in a Michelin-star restaurant felt too common, and he wanted something unique for her. Booking the entire movie theatre for her favorite movie seemed childish in comparison to the depth of his feelings. Showering her with expensive gifts appeared cliche and superficial, not what he wanted to convey.

He wanted their date to be perfect, just like Sofia, and just like his love for her. He craved to show her the seriousness of his affection, to let her know that his world revolved around her. To him, she was his sun, his moon, and his universe.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration lit up his mind, and he reached for his phone, dialing Domenico’s number. He gave his trusted associate some discreet instructions, hoping that this plan would work. He wanted this date to be unforgettable for Sofia, something that would make her feel special in a way she had never experienced before.

The anticipation of the upcoming date was overwhelming, and he could hardly wait for tomorrow. He yearned for this plan to be a success, to make their first official date a memory they would cherish forever. Sofia deserved all the love and attention he could give, and he was determined to make her feel cherished beyond measure. In his heart, he knew that this date would be just the beginning of a lifetime of love and devotion he would shower upon her.
