Everything’s fun when I do it with Sophia.
“Thank you, for making me do that,” I say when we pull up in our driveway later that night. “Talking to my father. I needed that.”
She offers me a small smile, “It’s what I’m here for. Making sure you do the things that are absolutely good for you even if you don’t want to. If I have to kick your ass to achieve that, I will.”
She leans forward to place a quick kiss on my lips.
“Well feel free to kick my ass anytime,” I say smiling.
“Anyway, I have to get out of here, I’m really tired and all I want is to climb into bed.”
She doesn’t waste a second unhooking her seatbelt and stepping out of the car.
I chuckle softly already planning on making us a snack and playing a movie so she can sleep easier. When I step out of the car as well though I hear a tiny whimper. My head snaps up and my eyes widen at the sight in front of me.
“Tony,” Sophia whispers, standing impossibly still.
Because Dimitri Antonov is behind her. And he’s holding a knife to her throat.
CHAPTER28
Sophia
Life has a way of hitting you fast. One second you’re in a car with your husband, feeling grateful that the both of you found each other. Feeling grateful for him and the way he always manages to say the right things and plan the most perfect dates. Skating was exactly what I needed today.
But it’s been a long day and I was exhausted so I rushed out of the car. That’s the only reason Dimitri’s able to sneak up on me. Because he caught me off guard. I had been thinking about my bed and lying on top of it when he whirled me around and pressed a knife to my throat.
Tony doesn’t move as he takes in the scene. I can see him trying to work out a plan.
“Dimitri, what are you doing?!” I ask, feeling fear course through me.
The smell of alcohol is wafting off him. And when he opens his mouth to speak, I nearly gag.
“Did you forget me, Sophia? I was so hurt when I didn’t get an invitation to your wedding I thought about coming anyway and torching the place but I managed to control myself. But the more I thought about ti, the angrier I got. You should have been mine, Sophia. Mine. Instead you got pregnant for this bastard and then got married to him,”
“Okay. I understand. But you need to calm down. You don’t want to do this.”
He presses the knife further into my neck, the pressure’s starting to sting a little.
“Put the fucking knife down!” Tony yells slapping his hands against the car, a wild look in his eyes.
I’ve never seen him look so scared. I try to communicate to him that I’ll be fine.
“It’s okay,” I mouth.
Dimitri’s drunk. It’ll be easy to handle him.
“I came back for you, Sophia,” Dimitri whispers. “You should have been mine.”
I take in a sharp breath and my eyes meet Tony’s for half a second. Then I’m opening my mouth and clamping down on his arm with my teeth, hard enough that he screams and rips his arm away. The knife falls to the floor. After a jab to his stomach with my elbow, he lets me go completely and I stumble forward.
Tony’s immediately there, wrapping me in his arms.
“Are you okay? Sophia, look at me. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m okay,” I answer.
His eyes trail over me for a few seconds before he lifts them to Dimitri who’s swearing under his breath. When Tony’s eyes darken, I suck in a sharp breath.
