Matteo pov~ I paled at the sight in front of me. Still in my trance, I heard Melissa crying and Santi cussing out as we came into the bathroom. Sofia's body was in the bathtub filled with water that was now red because of her blood. Her face and hair was drenched with water but was obviously brought out of the as she laid there unconscious. I recovered from my trance and rushed to her side. I lifted her cold body out of the tub and laid her on me. “So..Sofia wake up, what did you do? Please wake up” my voice cracked as I shook her body but nothing happened. At this point I was starting to loose myself. “Melissa what happened? Why is she not waking up?” I started to tremble, my mind thinking of the worst case scenarios. “Sir, she.. she said she wanted to be alone so I left after giving her lunch. I came back to take the tray and dishes but she wasn't in the room so I assumed she was in the bathroom, I knocked on the door but there was no response. I
Matteo's pov~It was now 8:00pm and doctor Sam advised it was better for Sofia to stay the night for supervision. I sent Santi home to go rest while I stayed here though he insisted he stayed with me but I refused. I pushed the thought of Mariella calling me, I'd deal with that later. I couldn't believe she flew all the way to America. I had gone to a nearby restaurant to eat because the hospital food was disgusting. I entered Sofia's current room and saw her sleeping, she still looked pale and tired. Her hand that she had cut had been bandaged. I sat on the chair close to her bed and watched her sleeping form, her baby bump had gotten slightly bigger. I lean back into the chair and closed my eyes.'~~~~~~~'I jolted up due to the sounds in the room. “Im sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was checking on her” a nurse said lowly looking sort of scared. I guess she witnessed my outburst to the other nurses. I nodded and signalled her to continue her
SOFIA'S POV~ It had been a few days since I found out everything about Matteo... Well not really everything, just that he is the head of the Italian mafia.I still hadn't gotten over it since the past few days and I'd been having bad anxiety. I really had been thinking of the worst things that could happen to me and my child. I had thought of escaping this place but the security had been extra tight and the bedroom was on the third floor. It was practically going to be difficult to escape here and I really didn't want to start a fight with Matteo so I just put the idea aside. Mariella’s bubbly presence in the house had really cleansed the atmosphere from the bad energy that had been in the house. She always troubled Matteo making him frustrated which for a reason brought me peace. I hadn't realized that my bump had grown bigger. Mariella always teased me and said she was sure it was going to be a boy and he was going to be exactly like Matteo so they would gan
SOFIA'S POV~ After making phone calls with my parents, I was so relieved and happy that I didn't notice I had started tearing up. I spoke to them and ensured that they wouldn't worry too much about me. I also called Whitney and Nora who were so excited to finally speak to me. Whitney threatened to come here and deal with Matteo for taking me away from them, while Nora asked about my well being and cautioned me on taking good care of my health and the baby. I really enjoyed the chat with the girls as we laughed and joked around until I had to say goodbye to them which ended with us crying. After handing the phone to Mariella, I was a little sad but Melissa brought us some snacks and together the ladies cheered me up. When I informed them about my upcoming birthday, Mariella promised to celebrate my birthday in a grand form but I begged her not to do anything because I didn't want to celebrate my birthday and I mostly especially didn't want Matteo to find out. After ou
{SOFIA'S BIRTHDAY~I}SOFIA'S POV~ It had been two weeks since the incident which was now resolved. Two weeks now which meant it was my twentieth birthday today and also meant that I was five month pregnant. I was happy to finally be twenty but I also missed my family so much because I was not able to celebrate with them. If I was at the apartment with the girls, they would have woken me up by midnight and wished me a happy birthday with a small cake that would have candles lit up. They would treat me breakfast in bed and we would go shopping. We would later go over to my parents house to have my birthday dinner there. My mom, dad, Whitney and Nora would sing the happy birthday song and they would each have a gift for me. My birthday always brought good memories and they made me happy.... But this one was different, I didn't have my family here and it just felt like a normal day. I put my thought away and managed to get up from the bed with my growing bu

SOFIA'S POV~ I couldn't explain the level of happiness I was experiencing at that exact moment. Seeing my family again after months and especially on my birthday brought me so much joy and that was the best birthday present I received. “I can't believe you're here.... I've missed you so much” I cried happily as I hug all of them once again. “We have missed you too dear...” My mom spoke for the first time since I've seen her. “My love how are you?” My dad said, stroking my hair as his eyes teared up. I was so emotional that I started sobbing again as I hugged him tight “I'm fine now” I mumbled in his tear soaked shirt. He chuckled and patted my back “Don't cry my love, we are here now” After the hugs and crying, we joined the party as everyone interacted with one ano
SOFIA'S POV~I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face though I was alone because Matteo had to leave early. I hurriedly went to the bathroom to do my business.I was happy things were going well for me; I had a wonderful birthday party, I got to see both my parents and best friends.After using the bathroom, I got dressed and went downstairs. I usually had my meals in the bedroom but I wanted to see my family and I wanted to spend quality time with them.I heard giggling in the dinning room ; my mom, dad, Nora, Whitney and Mariella were all at dining having breakfast."Good morning everyone.... I see you all started breakfast before me" I said, making all eyes turn to me."Good morning sweetheart, how was your night... Whitney insisted on going to your room to call you down for breakfast but I figured you had a tiring night and you should rest" my mom said, smiling brightly at me."Yeah... She really had a tiring night" Mari said, giving me a knowing smileI blushed hard and
Matteo's POV~I dismissed all my gang members after the meeting, excluding Santi.I was beyond tired because I hadn't slept for so many night and I've been worked up trying to find the fucking anonymous gang that had been sending threat letter.I give it to them, they are good in hiding and staying low and they should keep it that way because if I caught a glimpse of them, they would be history."Matteo, this is getting out of hand. We need to find them before they do anything drastic. We don't know how big their gang is but they already proved how smart they are when they attacked you last month" Santi said. I rubbed my temple with my index finger trying not to lash out my frustrations at him.The so called anonymous gang attacked my vehicle on my way back to the mansion a month ago and they killed two of my men and fled immediately. Since then, we had been more alert on finding them.I didn't tell Sofia or Mariella about it so they don't get stressed out. I tripled the security in t

•FIVE YEARS LATER• ~Omniscient~ “Aurelia Starr Russo! Get down here now!" Sofia called her five year old. She had just returned from medical school and the house looked like a tournament had just taken place. It was scattered with crayons, books and toys. 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. I already told you not to play with all your toys the same time” she spoke gently to her as she lifted her on her hips. “I'm sorry mommy, I didn't mean to make a mess” Aurelia apologize as she pouted. “It's okay, we'll clean it up... Have you had lunch yet?" Sofia asked as she sat on the couch. “No, but only because I wanted to have lunch with you and daddy” she said as she played with her Mom's hair. “Hi Sofia,

He left to work very early in the morning and we saw that as a chance to prepare everything for the surprise. I had been busy all day trying get everything checked and to make sure the surprise was perfect. I was so anxious about the party because I didn't know if he was going to like it, this was actually the first time I was putting effort to impress Matteo and I hoped he liked it. “Sofia! Cosa ci fai ancora qui? Devi prepararti!” Mariella exclaimed, shaking me by the shoulders as she rambled in Italian. {Sofia! What are you still doing here? You have to get ready} “Hey! Relax.... I have no idea what you just said” I said trying to calm her down. “Sorry.... Why are you still down here? It almost time and Matteo will be back anytime soon and you're not ready?” she asked looking panicked. “Well.... I'm just trying to make sure everything is perfect.... I mean the d

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.
