Chapter 38-Illusions?

After so many days at ROYAL, aside from her passionate response that night when he visited her, her reactions remained the same as before. There was no sign of any "training" having an effect.

Yet at this moment, Capone felt a sense of relief. Compared to the deliberate passion and allure she showed that night at ROYAL, he preferred the original Sophia Diaz. Even though she still resisted now, her unwilling and reluctant demeanor was far more acceptable to him than her smoking and flirting.

What he wanted wasn't her obedience like other women, but her willing heart.

Sending her to ROYAL was a mistake. There, she became a different person, trying to please and adapt, with seductive behavior, but she was no longer his Sophia.

"Sophy…" He released her lips, unintentionally murmuring her name. Their hands were still clasped together. He placed her hands on either side of her head, fingers interlocked, gently caressing her hands.
