Chapter 393 Knight In The Shining Armor

"Sweetheart, I am disappointed to hear that you don't want to have dinner with me. So I came here to take you for dinner myself," Adrik said, his voice oozing with faux charm as he reached out and grasped Sofia's hand, pulling her up and making her stand on her feet. Sofia reacted swiftly, yanking her hand away from his hold, her eyes blazing with anger. "Don't you dare touch me. You won't like the consequences my husband will bring upon you."

He smirked, clearly amused by her defiance. "I am just being polite, and you're threatening me with your husband. Let me remind you that I abducted you right in front of him. Can you imagine how powerful I am? I advise you to leave that piece of shit. Don Leonardo doesn't know how to care for a beauty like you," he taunted, his eyes raking over Sofia's body, sending shivers of disgust down her spine.

Sofia mustered her courage and confronted him. "What deal do you want to make with my husband?"

"It's nothing that concerns you," he replied sternly.

"Why have you abducted me? Why do you need to use me to speak to my husband?" she argued, her voice tinged with frustration.

"Fine, I'll tell you. But first, you have to have dinner with me," Adrik said casually as if inviting her to a social event. Sofia's anger flared again, finding it infuriating that he had the audacity to ask her about dinner after being rejected twice already. Refusing to respond or move, Sofia held her ground. Adrik let out a sigh, attempting another approach to persuade her.

"Listen, Sofia. There's no harm in having dinner with me. You need to take care of yourself, especially now that you're pregnant, as advised by your doctor," he added, emphasizing the last part. Sofia couldn't help but notice how everyone seemed to care about her health. It must be Leonardo's influence even in his absence; after all, her husband was the mightiest mafia king.

Sofia's stomach rumbled with hunger, reminding her of the growing life within. She gently placed her hand on her belly, speaking softly in her mind, "Okay, baby. So you're hungry. Momma is going to get you some food."

"Alright, Don Adrik, I'll have dinner with you, but solely because my doctor suggested not staying hungry for too long, nothing else. I am not happy about sharing a meal with you. Don't think otherwise. I am here as Leonardo Morelli's wedded wife. Never forget that," she warned him, narrowing her eyes. Adrik's persistent advances had her suspicious about his true intentions. He merely smirked in response.

"Feisty!" he chuckled, finding her defiance amusing.

The setting was a vast and opulent hall, its dining table adorned with an array of delicious foods. Rena and Enzo were also present at the table. As Rena looked at Sofia, she could sense the cunning smile, and Sofia chose to avert her eyes. Enzo, on the other hand, completely ignored her, not bothering to acknowledge her presence.

To Sofia's surprise, Don Adrik pulled a chair out for her, trying to play the gentleman's role. Reluctantly, she settled into the seat he offered.

Butlers arrived and started serving the lavish meals. Sofia glanced at the food on her plate and then back at Don Adrik. He chuckled before saying, "I ordered them to make all your favorite dishes for dinner." His knowledge of her favorite food didn't shock her; she knew that Rena and Enzo had shared all the information about her with him.

her, making her feel increasingly uncomfortable and scrutinized. Suddenly, a commotion emerged from the doorway, and a man came running, whispering something into Don Adrik's ear. He nodded in response and said, "Bring them inside." With the sound of approaching footsteps, Sofia's heart started pounding faster. Her eyes snapped toward the doorway, anticipation and hope
