Chapter 373 The Fight For Power

"What brings you here, Dad? I can tell it must be something important for you to bother coming into my office," Leonardo asked Alessandro, his father.

"You're right. The secret is out. Everyone now knows that Sofia is the sole heiress of the Ricci Empire and holds all the rights to it. Therefore, the merger between the Riccis and the Morellis won't be valid unless we have her signature," Alessandro declared. Leonardo had suspected this might happen, and now his doubts were confirmed by Alessandro's words.

"So, what do you want, Dad?" Leonardo asked, his brows furrowing.

"I want you to convince Sofia to sign the contract papers, granting you control over her properties," Alessandro stated his demand.

No chance. Leonardo would never do that. He would never force Sofia to sign any document against her will.

"Dad, we've just come out of a difficult situation, and I don't want to pressure her into anything. I think we should give her some time to make her own decision and sign the papers willingly," Leonardo tried to convince his father to leave Sofia alone. Wasn't his own life enough for his father to control? Did he also want to take over Sofia's life?

"Are you serious, Leonardo? You're saying this! What if she changes her mind once she realizes the power and wealth she would gain from this inheritance? You have to make her sign before that happens. Use your charm, the charm that makes women willing to die for you," Alessandro said, a cunning smile playing on his face.

My father was so self-obsessed. Wealth and power were all that mattered to him; nothing else held any significance. I knew it would be difficult to convince him when it came to power and wealth, but I wouldn't give up. I decided to make my point once again. "But Dad..."

"Leonardo is right, Alessandro. We can't force Sofia to sign the merger deal. It was our decision, and she wasn't involved in it. My mother chose her as the heiress of the Ricci Empire for a reason. She must have seen something special in Sofia that we couldn't see all those years," Carlo intervened, supporting Leonardo's stance.
