The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 441

"Eve, I literally just gave you to Miss Sofina, and you're already turning against me?” Alex sighed, exasperated but half amused.

Eve's holographic eyes glowed with firm conviction.

"Not betrayal, Master Alex. My loyalty and my life now belong to Miss Sofina. My duty is to protect her from any danger-including you."

Sofina burst into laughter, hugging the floating robot tight. "I really love this one," she said between laughs.

Alex smiled faintly and turned toward the door. "I'm glad you do. You've had a long day-get some rest."

"Well, Alex," Sofina said suddenly, her eyes glinting with mischief. "I'm already your wife, so I'm surrendering everything to you. You can do whatever you want with me."

Alex froze mid-step, eyes widening in disbelief.

Before he could respond, Eve darted between them, hovering protectively with both metallic arms spread wide.

"No, Miss Sofina! You can't give a man that kind of freedom," she warned, her voice sharp and urgent.

"Master Alex may look kind, but he's still a man. Give him an inch, and he'll take ten. Never show your weakness to him!"

She turned toward Alex, eyes glowing a warning red. "My sensors are on you, Master Alex. Don't even think about it!"

Alex groaned, rubbing his forehead with a mix of frustration and laughter.

"Eve, I don't even know what you think I'm going to do... but whatever it is, I'm canceling it." He shook his head, stepping back toward the door. "Goodnight, Sofina."

"Thank you, Alex," Sofina whispered with a soft yawn. Sleep tugged at her voice. Within minutes, she was half-asleep, curled around Eve like a child hugging a warm pillow.

"Goodnight, Eve."

"Goodnight, Miss Sofina," Eve replied gently. "Rest well. I will protect you."

An hour later, her bracelet began to chime, waking her from her dreams. The soft hum of Eve's systems filled the quiet room.

"Sofina," came a deep male voice from the bracelet.

She blinked, still drowsy, as a hologram flickered to life above her wrist. "Hey, Father," she murmured, rubbing her eyes.
