SOFIA POV~Today was the day we finally go back to my Homeland, I didn't even have the words to says how excited I was. After Matteo told me that we were going back, I couldn't care for the reasons all I knew was that I was so excited to finally leave this dreadful place. I counted the seconds and minutes from the day he told me but the days just went by slowly.Finally I would leave this place and go back to my family... I arranged my stuffs first thing in the morning, I was so glad my baby decided to spare me morning sickness and stomach cramps, maybe my baby knew that mama was so excited today."Sofia, are you ready? We would be leaving in thirty minutes" Matteo's voice snapped me out of my thought when he entered the bedroom fully dressed.I checked the time on the wall clock and it was exactly 7:30. "I'm ready" I mumbled but I was sure he heard me.During my stay here, Matteo and I barely made any conversations except when he told me of his company. It was usually "hellos" and
SOFIA POV~Waking up and my body being in an immense pain was not how I imagined my first day back in New York to be like.I groaned in pain as my neck felt like someone had stabbed it... What the hell happened?, Was I in a fight?... The memory of the incident that took place between Matteo and I rushed back to me immediately. I hissed as I tried getting up from the bed, I must have had a great fall when he pushed me.When I finally got up from bed, I practically sprinted to the restroom to empty my gut. My baby must be on daddy's side to be torturing me this morning. After spilling out everything, I felt extremely exhausted and lightheaded, my whole body was in pain and now I had no food in my stomach.I managed to shower and brush my teeth to look a little bit presentable, I didn't want to look like a prisoner though that was the case.The moment I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door. It was one of the maids who brought me breakfast."Thank you" I said to her while t
Sofia pov~ He looked at me shocked by his actions... I guess. I shut my eyes to endure the back pain I was experiencing, I hoped my baby was ok... My baby, oh my God, I couldn't lose my baby. No, I just couldn't. “Sof...Sofia, are you hurt? Oh no what did I do...tell me I didn't hurt you please” he rushed to my side with a worried expression, for a moment I thought I saw a tear fall from his eye but I might had been hallucinating. “Please, don't touch me... Please” I said with anger dripping from my voice, it's not like I could do much. “Let me help you up” he said hurriedly, panicking from the situation he caused. “Please Matteo, take me to my parents now” I begged him, still wincing in pain. I might as well take advantage of his pity. “No, no... You need the doctor” he rushed out still trying to help me up. “NO!! I want to go home... Please... AHHHH!!” I shouted as the pain had circulated to my abdomen and I could barely stand. “Please Matteo
Matteo pov~ While we were having lunch, Sofia got up and rushed to the restroom while her mother went after her. I was left at the table with her father who kept throwing death glares at me. I knew that the situation at hand was not pretty and I wasn't handling it the way Sofia expected me to but I was handling it the way I knew how to. I came back here to New York to handle my work and also strategize a plan to take care of the big mess awaiting me back home. When Sofia and I were left at the living room by ourselves, I got a message from Santi informing me that the anonymous gang in Italy were trying to discover my location, I knew that where Sofia's parents lived was an open environment and was easily trackable but back at my place it was almost impossible to track because of the high tech security. I knew this place wasn't safe so I tried persuading her to leave but being my stubborn baby mama she refused. I had to find a way to make her leave and threatenin
Sofia pov~ On the ride back to Matteo's house,I rested my head on the headrest and closed my eyes. I kept thinking of my parents and how I didn't bid them goodbye, I just ran out of the house overwhelmed without hugging either of them. I missed them already, all of them. I didn't want to go with Matteo but I had not choice, he threatened my parents. I groaned thinking of that. I could see the way Whitney's and Nora's eyes lit up with excitement when they saw me. I didn't know when I would see them again. The girls wanted to know what the details of my alleged kidnap so I spilled everything except the fact that Matteo had slapped me. As much as I hated him, I didn't want them to kill my child's father out of anger. I was beginning to get a headache from this constant thinking and remembrance. I groaned again loudly this time while I rubbed my temple trying to suppress the headache. "Is anything wrong?" Matteo's voice startled me, I forgot he was sti
SOFIA POV~ TWO~ MONTHS~LATER Four months, four whole freaking months I've stayed with Matteo. I had known and lived with this messed up man for four months. These two months spent in this mansion with Matteo was... Eventful?. These two months, we've only had argument, disagreement, silent treatment, yelling at each other and what not. The months were not that bad because I made a new friend, Melissa. We had been close ever since that incident happened, she was my only friend in this prison they called home. She was with me most of the day, we would chat and I would tell her how I really wanted to leave this place and she would apologize for not having any solution to my problems. She was really a nice person, she told me she had been working here six years, I was surprised because she was only twenty eighty years but according to her, she really enjoyed working here though her boss could be extra strict at times and I totally agreed with her, Matteo
Sofia's POV~I was quickly pulled into the car by Matteo, he looked confused by the situation."Matteo what's going on, who are these people?" I asked in panic. He didn't reply but instead he hurriedly dialed someone on his phone while the shoot out continued as people were panicking and running for their lives. "santi siamo stati aggrediti in ospedale, cosa sta succedendo?" Matteo said authoritatively in Italian, I had no idea what he said and who he was talking to.{Santi we're being attacked at the hospital, what's going on?}"CHE CAZZO VUOI CHE HANNO TROVATO LA NOSTRA POSIZIONE ATTUALE !!!" He yelled angrily at the other person while pulling his hair. I just looked at him in confusion and fear, I wondered what was going on. It seemed our car was bulletproofed because despite the safe place the driver tried to hide in, the car was still being shot at but the bullet didn't penetrate.{WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY FOUND OUR CURRENT LOCATION!!!}."Rispedisci immediatamente!" he sa
Matteo's POV~Seeing Sofia in that condition made me want to kill myself. I wondered why I thought it was a good idea to bring her into my fucked up life.All these were my fault, everything that happened in her life was my fault.Everything leading to Sofia's current state started from that dumbass attack at the hospital. It was confirmed that the anonymous mafia gang finally tracked me at the hospital and decided it was the perfect time to have a shoot out. So many lives were lost and most of them were just patient's visitors and staffs at the hospital.After making sure the situation was handled I decided to go my company and check things out. I immediately instructed Santi to come to New York.After settling few of the chaos at the company, it was 11pm and I couldn't go to the house like that so I hit up Santi to meet me at the club.As soon as I got there I was served strong alcohol at the VIP section. After one and half bottle of hapsburg gold label, I was extremely drunk

She sighed when she thought of how to begin cleaning the house when she had just spent 6 hours at med school. “Hey mommy, I missed you” Aurelia engulfed her mother in a tight hug as she smiled at her. “My love I missed you too.... Mama, why are your things scattered everywhere.

MATTEO POV~ Today made it exactly a month since the incident and the birth of my daughter. I still hadn't figured out a name yet, I was secretly hoping Sofia would wake up anytime soon so we could name her together. Today my little angel would be out of the NICU and I would be able to hold her for the first time. I stood outside the children's unit as I watched the doctors and nurses detach the machines from her. I couldn't wait to lift her tiny body in my hand, I wished Sofia was here with me so we could cradle our little baby together. Mariella asked to come with me but I refused, I still hadn't come to terms with the situation and I didn't want to create more distance between us. I was brought back from my train of thought when one of the nurses gently placed my baby girl in my arm. I smiled appreciatively at the nurse and held my baby protectively. She squirmed in my arm and open her eyes as she stared at me. I was blessed with the sight when I stay

She screeched in pain, shuting her eyes before falling to the ground but Santi caught her in time.My head whipped swiftly in Dimitri's direction as I shot him thrice. He was caught off guard as he was watching Sofia so he didn't expect me to shoot him.I shot him in his shoulder, thigh and side....
