I do my best pretending to look unassuming and uninterested but Roman still shoots me a look regardless.
“Sophia Mincetti. Now she’s even more interesting,” Michael says his face fixed on the screen. “If most families have a black sheep, then I guess she’d be the one. Unlike her sister, she’s had a more wild life. Nothing too serious. Just excessive partying in high school. She was arrested once for underage drinking. The really interesting part though is how smart she is. Perfect grades throughout high school and college. She went to NYU, majored in Economics. She even graduated summa cum laude.”
I lean my back in my chair, my mind reeling from all the information.
“So, both girls are like geniuses?” Enzo asks, awe in his voice.
“Yeah. Katerina Mincetti also minored in computer science. I’m pretty sure she’s proficient at hacking. And I think Sophia is more responsible for the business aspect of their family’s dealings. Eduardo Mincetti couldn’t have asked for more perfect daughters.”
“Fucking bastard,” I mutter.
“Well, this is unsettling,” Roman says leaning back and tipping his head to the ceiling. “It’s one thing to hand over an empire to a woman. But to hand one over to a woman as capable as Katerina. That’s..” he trails off.
I can tell they’re unsettled. Until now they didn’t realize just how strong their opponents were. I’ve always known Sophia was something special. A confirmation of that isn’t knocking me off my feet.
“He’s not handing it over to her yet,” Michael points out.
I’m quick to concur, “He will be once we kill him.”
Roman nods. Enzo has a thoughtful expression on his face.
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea. To have allies like to Mincetti girls,” he states. When my eyes narrow, he amends, “Once we’ve killed their father of course.”
“That’s the thing though,” I say. “Once we kill their father, they’ll want nothing to do with us. It’ll be enmity. So yeah they’re smart and capable and they would make good allies. But they’re on the other side of this war. And they’re looking to take us down. We can’t think of them as anything other than that.”
I’m a fucking hypocrite. Because I’m sleeping with one of them. And I have no idea how to navigate through this mess I’ve found myself in.
One thing’s for sure though. I don’t think I can stop seeing Sophia. Because even now, the thought of seeing her again sends a thrill through me. And I want nothing but to look into those gorgeous blue eyes.
I’m quite literally fucked.
CHAPTER16
Sophia
As soon as I walk through the doors of my home, I get a text from Tony asking if he can come over. My first thought is that it’s pretty audacious considering we just saw each other this morning and we’re also not dating. Then I consider the fact that I actually do want to talk to him.
And there’s also a tiny part of me that wants to see his stupid face, so I tell him he can come over. He arrives thirty minutes later, looking absolutely handsome in black pants and a white shirt. They’re completely normal clothes. But Tony has the top three buttons of his shirt unbuttoned and the sleeves are rolled up. He looks hot.
I enjoy ogling him for a couple more seconds because he’s apparently also ogling me. When I can’t bear the weight of his eyes roaming over me anymore, I step toward him, leaning upward for a kiss. It’s meant to be quick but Tony’s arm clamps around my waist and he pulls me in closer, deepening it and leaving me gasping for air.
“That’s better,” he murmurs when he finally pulls away. He twirls a lock of my hair with his finger. “How was your day, gorgeous?”
I let him lead me into the living room. He takes a seat on the couch, pulling me onto his lap so I’m straddling him. My heartrate immediately skyrockets but I pretend to be unaffected.
“It was fine, uneventful,” I reply, staring into his brown eyes.
Actually, it was eventful. I finally got Li Jun, the Singaporean billionaire to sign in on our deal which is pretty great. But I’m not about to tell him that.
Honestly this is a little tiresome. The things I have to keep hidden, having to tip toe around every topic of conversation. Tony must see my thoughts plainly written on my face because he lets out a soft sigh.
“Come on, blondie, let it out,” he states.
I tilt my head to the side, “Let what out?”
“Whatever it is you’ve got going on in that big brain of yours. I know you have something to say. Is this about what I said this morning. It didn’t seem like we were on the same page,” he says worriedly.
“We are,” I start slowly.
