Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss

Sophia's men hopped out of the cars, and from the trunks, they started pulling out suitcases and boxes…

"What is that?" Hector asked as he stopped one of the men.

"Ohh, I'm moving in." She said with a smile on her face and everybody was just speechless.

Especially Hector because he knew Sophia fully in love with James, but it's more like a cult-like following. She is a problem on her own, but not just that because… a war has started, people died, the government is working with them, and it's also two past midnight and she just came here to move in?

That's when Hector puzzled it together, the red dress on her that was like a bodysuit on her, like highlighting her breasts, curves, and ass. Not just that, but the red lipstick, her makeup, and even her hair was done… she came to fuck…

But before he could say anything to her it was late and another convoy of cars rolled into the street, and it was James himself with IF agents escorting, and it was a crazy scene as the driveway were lined with blacked-out SUVs and got crazier when the IF agents hopped out like it was their job, like they were part of the family too, standing guard while James got out in a fashion.

He literally had an aura around him… with his cane, now two golden rings in his hand and the blood-stained black suit hopping out of the car while the IF agents stood guard.

But even though he looked like a menace he was too surprised… what the fuck is Sophia doing in his driveway with all of the suitcases and boxes? Why does she suddenly appear in his home in the middle of the night?

"Sophia—"

She didn't give him time, and even though she was stunned by the agents, she knew it was because James and he probably did something but she didn't care about that at all… nah rather than caring she jumped at James and kissed him on the mouth…

It just confused everybody even more, even the IF agents who just stood there because, well, first they were scared a little about this whole situation, that they are literally in James Bellini's estate. Second, they knew Sophia, and it caused them to wonder if they are together or what, because no file, no intel told them that.

On the other hand, James was not surprised. He was calm and, well, didn't really give a fuck about it, because this night was already crazy on its own. He sat through Marco's torture, then personally blasted his head off with his pistol. And after that came the political moves and the news about Ferucci... that kiss was nothing.

He was so tired, and his leg hurt like hell, so yeah… that kiss was nothing, nah it was more like a little refreshing.

But what followed was something else.

Sophia threw her hands around James' neck looking deep into his eyes. "Let's kill them togetherl" she said and gave another kiss, a longer one.

She was a going crazy on James's tongue, kissing him like they were in a rated movie, but to the others it was so fucking confusing that they just stood in silence of embarrassment, and, well, the thought of what would Bella do if she was there.

She would pull out a pistol and shoot her on the spot, which came with another question. Does it count as cheating? Or should a person like James be with one woman? Like he is the underworld himself, like the king of it, why would he be okay with one woman?

Crazy thoughts in the middle of a war, but that thought was answered as fast as James pushed her away from himself.

Sophia got a little stunned by it and, well, scared in the moment. She looked back at James… it was like she was looking at a completely different person… his eyes didn't have that light he had, that light he always had. He didn't have that embarrassment, that surprise about the kiss, about her. The atmosphere of the situation seemed to go really quickly to zero and below that.

An ice-cold stare at her as he wiped off his mouth and the red lipstick.

"What are you doing here, Sophia?"

The question too was ice cold, no emotion beneath it, no surprise, no nothing. And she felt it, the different person that was not the James she expected to be, and it was her fault.

What was she even thinking, to come to James and just kiss him? When his family had been attacked, when he had lost his brother and everything that was close to him. When he is in the biggest war, a war that's going to shake the foundation of everything.

Yeah, and she just came here to do it, to kiss him and that's it? No thought behind it, no plans?

No, there was a plan. She worked all day since the day she disappeared to have something that was worth it for James, and that's why she showed up, but her emotions and her love for James just took over, and now she was regretting what she had done. She felt guilt. She felt like a whore… until the point James asked another question.

"Did you come here with a purpose or just to fuck?" He asked with the same tone, and he stepped closer to her.

"I came with purpose… and to fuck." She said it fast, not even thinking about it. "I disappeared but I worked hard and I have everything that you need to strike back at them." She said, and it was true too.

She disappeared with a reason, to get every information on everybody who can go against James. First it was more aimed at Isabella and Marco because she knew the moment they left the Circle, they would try to attack James, but then through her own connections she was informed about the cartel too. So she did everything to get every information she could to help James, she tortured, she killed, and when she was finally done, came here.

"I collected everything about the cartel and their connection in the city, everything that could help… but in the meantime I got targeted too, so I thought if we work together, let's stay together…" She said with a little hesitation knowing that maybe she fucked up.

But it made sense for James, Marco said the next one was going to be Sophia, and if she dug around, it just put her more in their crosshairs. And one more thing, he wanted Sophia to be a Bellini and even spoke about it with Hector but that when she disappeared… now the time has come.

"Good." He said again, in the same tone but now he stepped closer and with his left hand he softly touched her face down to her chin and pulled her head up to meet his gaze. "Do you want to be one with me and the family?"

The question Sophia wanted was the biggest respect she could get in this world… to be one with the Bellini family with James.

"Can I…?" She asked hesitantly because his eyes were still the same as a monster's.

"Yes you can, but..." He looked deep into her eyes. "If you kiss me again, I will kill you."
