Sofia’s POV

I shook my head to get the thoughts which were currently swimming around my head, out of my mind as I stared up into both guards direction and started to speak, feeling my fingers draw weird shapes on my exposed waist since my hands were still wrapped around my waist in a tight hold.

I moved a little in my current spot, refusing the urge to take a few steps backwards until my back was pressed against the wall– not because I was feeling crowded, overwhelmed or whatnot, but because my knees were starting to hurt and I didn’t feel like standing and resting my weight on my knees anymore at this very moment.

“So um, did he show you guys where the room is located and which particular room it was going to be in?” I asked and watched as Ethan nodded his head once before he started to speak, “Yes ma’am, he did.” Ethan replied before pointing down the hall, to the left corner before he continued. “It’s just down the hall, a few doors down.” Ethan said and I felt my heart start to

    Sofia’s POV I took a step back and watched as both men carefully carried in all the stuff which we got from the mall yesterday, and as I watched them align the stuff beside one another, it was making me realize just how plentiful the stuff was. I chewed on my lips a little with my back resting against the wall as I watched silently and some minutes later, they started carrying in the big boards and drawing canvas and other bigger stuff. I allowed my eyes to wander around the room, a motion which I had been repeating over and over again, each time both men exited the room to go carry some more stuff, leaving me alone in the room.The room was large.When I say it was large, I meant it was more spacious than I ever expected. Heck, I didn’t even expect Luca to agree to me painting in the first place, and after he did, I decided to try my luck further by requesting a room which I’d be using for my painting stuff, all to myself, and unexpectedly, he had agreed instantly. Of course, I ha

    Sofia’s POV “Huh?” I said as I got to my full height and had turned my head around until I was staring at him. He gestured at the stuff which I had been about to pick up, moments ago before starting to speak. “Mr Ricci issue you are not to touch a thing in here when we’d start to all put the stuffs away, he said all you have to do and all you’re supposed to do, is to stand back and point and also gesture to whichever parts are sides you want each particular stuffs to be placed in.” He said and shrugged his shoulders a little before continuing. “The boss' orders not mine.” He breathed out and I realized that I had started to scowl at him without even realizing it.I nodded my head once, not wanting to put him into trouble, and I took a step away from the front of the whole pile of stuff, and then I placed my hands around my stomach once again.“Fine.” I huffed out without thinking and when both men continued to stare at me without saying a thing, I realized that I had literally sound

    Sofia’s POV I walked deeper into the frozen room which was located in the kitchen and you’d have to take a door into the kitchen before making your way into it. I shivered a little as I walked further into the room, because like the nsme entails, it really is frozen and gosh, it was really cold.Once I sighted what I came in here to get, I stopped before the rack which held up bags and bags of chips, the types which could get frozen without it getting to ruin the chips. I picked up a small looking bag because I knew myself and I knew I was going to get real bored of it after eating a few handfuls. But my gosh, it’s been really long since I’ve last eaten any kind of thing relating to junks ever since I got married to Luca, to think I use to get a lot of those back at home, it was also the fulll and complete courtesy of my younger brother that my love for Junks increased really well.I cradled the bag of chips and pressed it against my exposed skin on my stomach, feelimg the goosebump

    Sofia’s POV Once he had gone after that part, he switched towards the parts about explaining the types of brushes which new beginners were supposed to be making use it, in order to make the whole introduction into painting for them be more simple and mot as hard and complicated as it would seem if we had started our painting journey by making use of a paint brush that was meant for a pro, and not a new beginner.It was a good that I had gotten so many kinds of brushes and that I hadn’t just gotten a few kinds and I recognized the kind of brush which he was referring to. It was the brush that looked like the most boring Kike in the whole packs of brushes evifg inhar gottrn, because it barely had any kind of design on its body compared to other kinds of brushes which had different kinds of nice looking designs and intricates on it.I paused the video and stretched my hand out to pick up the pack of juice which was placed right before me on the counter, and I picked the carton of juice

    Sofia’s POV I watched Ryan’s shoulders moved a little as he pushed away from the wall and started to move towards me, and I felt my heart start to tighten up on fear and almost immediately, I could feel the incoming tell tale sign of a panic attack.“Ma’am?” I heard his voice call out and that alone was enough to snap me out from whatever I was about to fall into and I shook my head a little, in order to get the glaring and terrifying image thst was currently outlined brightly in my head, out of my head to no avail. I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head a little, feelimg myself start to shiver a little as the thought in my head still wasn’t going away and was instead lengthening to my dismay, and the images were so triggering because I was the one right there in the image popping up in my head and I had been the one who had been at the receiving hand of it, and I wish I’d rather not get dragged down memory lane at this very moment.“Mrs Ricci?” I heard Ryan’s voice called out to

    Sofia’s POV I moved it around and placed it on my thighs, moving my other hand around to place my palm flat against the dry surface or the carton of the juice.I remained quiet for a few moments more right before I moved my head around and stared up at Ryan. He had still been watching me all along and our eyes locked almost immediately I turned my head around, and I stared into his eyes for a few more seconds right before I looked away, not because his gaze was intense or burying, but because I was feeling like he could see all my dirty shameful secrets by just staring at me at this very moment, coupled with the fact that he had once again withessed one of my most embarrassing moments of my life, to my utmost dismay.“You did.” I said to him and watched from the side of my eyes as he bent his head and moved my hand over his face for a few seconds, right before he moved his head towards and stared at me once again, and the eyes which had been watching him from the side of my eyes f

    Sofia’s POV Ryan echoed after a moment and I lifted my head to stare at him and I blinked once at him, biting the insides of my cheeks almost immediately and at the same time, moving a little in my seat.“We wouldn’t?” I asked and watched as he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head once, his eyes still locked with mine, and I knew after a few seconds that it was extremely hypocritical of me to start feeling guilty and weird about being told to keep some stuffs from Luca, when I had literally asked him to to the same when he had found me crying in the here sitting room, some days ago.Not like I was ever going to walk up to luca and start up a conversation about how Ryan started to ask me about myself… and would it even matter? Now that I think about it, I honestly do not think it would because it’s just something as simple as that and nothing as serious as me asking him to keep the details about him finding me crying completely to himself.I started to nod my head

    Sofia’s POV The whole thing only managed to remind me of my younger and only brother, Angelo. Because this was like a normal routine between us, where we’d argue and bicker just for the fun of it and sometimes it might be because we were actually arguing about real issues and not for the fun of it.We also sometimes try to ignore each other for a few hours, but every time we get into that kind of fight, which isn’t very frequent, one of us always end up going back to meet the other ehen we were both supposed to be ignoring each other and staying mad at one and other, and from that very moment, we’d start talking and laughing with each other like none of the argument which had made us start to ignore each other at first, had never happened or taken place in the first place.I moved a little on my spot on the couch and dragged in a deep breath, right before I puffed it out and then sighed out, which barely used up to a second in my lungs, all came out in a long sigh which portrayed

    Sofia’s pov The kids had been bursting with excitement, which only meant one thing. It meant more headaches for Luca and I.“Baby, we talked about this, didn’t we? You can’t check the presents until it’s Christmas.” I murmured to Aria while holding her against my chest. She was clearly unhappy about this tiny rule because her frown deepened at once.“But it’s so far awayyyyy! No one is gonna know if I take a peek.”I chuckled as I let her slid down. “Daddy is gonna know.” I reminded her and that seemed to make her have a change of heart.“Oh.” She hesitated a little. “I guess I can wait a bit more.”“More like one more day, honey cause it’s tomorrow!” I gushed out and a grin split out on her face.“Really?!” She demanded and after getting another confirmation, she went off to find her brother, leaving me to myself. I sighed as I watched her leave with a fond smile on my face while massaging my forehead. I called out to her to be careful before I got back to what I was doing before.

    FOUR YEARS LATER Sofia’s pov “Be careful, honey!” I called out at once, but I doubt she heard me as she hurriedly raced forward till she was standing before James, a glass of milk carefully clutched in her hand.“Here it is, Uncle James!” She called out enthusiastically and a familiar feeling of fondness swelled in my heart as I watched as an exaggerated look of awe got plastered on James’ face as he accepted the glass of milk.“Thank you, Aria! You’re so hardworking.” He complimented as he took a few gulps of the milk because a tiny sip wasn’t gonna be accepted by Aria who’s clearly still waiting for more compliments.“It tastes so nice and fresh, wow.” James gushed and I listened as Aria’s pleased giggles filled up the room. She began to bounce on her toes when she began to speak. “If you noticed, uncle James, the glass wasn’t totally filled up this time because mommy said that’s how it’s supposed to be to avoid it spilling from the top, and I listened to mommy because she’s alwa

    Luca’s POV The bouquet of flowers I had gotten on the way home was a mixture of lilies and tulips, and I paired it with a bunch of balloons and a wrapped gift on the side. It’s a little past six and I couldn’t wait to be home already. I couldn’t wait to get home to my wife and our babies.Work has been quite stressful for the past month, the mafia aspect, to be specific. After news of my wife giving birth circulated around, I already knew that the amount of enemies I have was automatically gonna triple, and in order to keep my family safe, I was gonna have to be more at alert. The mafia clan had thrown a party in celebration after the birth of our babies, and I had purposely attended it alone, keeping my wife and kids far away from a gathering like that because it was filled with dangerous people from top to bottom.“Your enemies are gonna start attacking you even more now that you have a successor. People who have hoped to replace you if you ended up dying without an h

    Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER “I look ugly and bloated.” I blurted out while eying my reflection in the floor length mirror in the walk-in closet. Luca, who had been running a comb through his hair, paused for a moment before throwing me a glance, and then a smile bloomed on his face.“Of course you don’t! How can you even think that when you look like a goddess right now.” He murmured, discarding his comb and heading in my direction. I pouted at my reflection, not at all impressed by what I was looking at.“Now you’re just lying cause I’m sure goddesses don’t look this bad. My face is swollen and I literally feel like I’m gonna die.” Luca who had now eased up behind me let out a chuckle into my hair as his hand slid around my waist to carefully cradle my large stomach from the sides.“You still look very gorgeous to me. I don’t think your face is ugly, neither do I think you’re no longer sexy, because you still are. Did last night not explain that enough?” He chuckled at the end of

    Luca’s pov It was clear as day that this particular topic has been troubling Sofia for a while now. I could tell from how she was wringing her fingers. I lifted her fingers and brushed my lips across it, and then I let out a long sigh.“If I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t actually thought about it. I just assumed you don’t want them and I was cool with that.” Her eyes widened comically as she whispered. “But… I want children.”I hummed. “I see that now.” “You don’t want children?” Sofia asked after a few moments and I slowly shook my head.“I don’t think I do, cause I don’t actually like the thought of bringing a child into a lifestyle as dangerous as my current one, and leaving the mafia is completely out of the question cause the past would end up catching up with me no matter what.”“Oh.” She whispered while chewing at the inside of her mouth.“Yes, love. But, that aside, I love babies. They’re always so cute and clueless of all the evils in the world.” Sofia laughed at th

    Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER*** The sounds of soft laughter filtered through the screen of the television I was currently staring at and a small smile tugged at the side of my lips as I averted my gaze and took a glance at the wall clock situated at the top of the wall here in the room. It was past eight in the evening, which indicated that Luca was almost home, and an excited feeling coursed down my spine. It doesn’t matter that Luca has almost returned home to me every damn day, that giddy feeling still engulfs me every day.Which is the best thing ever, said my therapist when we stumbled on that topic. It’s been over two years and till date, I’m still yet to stop seeing my therapist. She, a Middle aged woman, has made me feel so much love and comfort than my mother has done for me throughout the past two decades that I’ve been alive. The sounds of cute giggles emitting from the television screen grabbed my attention and once again, I focused on it. This time, my bre

    Sofia’s pov The weeks flew by faster than i could keep up with.Healing was slower than I anticipated, and I hated almost every second of it, if I was being honest, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t willingly take another bullet for Luca if I could, because I will. Luca had gotten extremely displeased when I offhandedly said those same words to him, and he made me promise to never, ever do that again.I stayed in the hospital for months, because Luca wanted me to be completely healed before getting discharged. The flowers that got sent to me by every well wishers had gotten thrown out more than three times because at a point, they all began to rot.A little gathering was thrown in celebration of my release from the hospital. Everybody was there waiting in the house as entered the house, from Kayla and her husband, Travis, to Armani and his girlfriend, Nala, to James and his fiancée, Blair, to Angelo. It was relieving to finally be home and be surrounded by so much love right now ma

    Sofia’s pov ‘Was this how it feels to float?’I asked myself over and over again, the more time I spent in that same unending loophole. It felt like I was stuck in a fluffy space, but instead of sinking, I remained afloat.Muffled voice could be heard coming from multiple sides at once but I couldn’t make any word out, neither could I tell each voice apart from the other.I limbs literally felt nonexistent because I couldn’t wait use of them no matter how much I tried. It’s almost weird how it’s pitch dark in this fluffy space, preventing me from making anything out.Or perhaps, I was the one who had my eyes closed throughout, I realized when I discovered that I could feel my eyelids twitch a little. I tried to get my eyes open after that, but ended up giving up after trying over and over again to no avail. I drifted straight into an unconscious state after that.When I came to once again, I felt warm fingers around mine. The fingers felt familiar in a way, and with everyth

    Sofia’s pov The scream that left my mouth this time was completely silent as I watched as the kneeling man who was apparently working with Ryan, fell to the ground face first after being shot by Ryan. That sent a more terrified feeling down my spine, because not only was Ryan crazy, he was clearly also heartless as hell. Seeing how he could effortless kill off his own partner made it more obvious that it wouldn’t be hard for him to kill me if he wants to, and that he wasn’t just bluffing by threatening to shoot me.“Fuck, man, you really are a freak. Your own partner?” Angelo mused with an unimpressed look on his face. Luca snorted and leveled Ryan with a look. “That’s not something a Ricci would do, you know?”“Well it’s a good thing I’m not a fucking one, okay? And now that I’ve killed my partner myself, you clearly don’t have anything to threaten me with, I have nothing to lose in this situation unlike the rest of you.” Ryan responded haughtily, sneering as he tugged on my hair.
