Sofia's POVI swear to God, my heart is racing like I ran a marathon. I didn't know this would be so difficult, I wouldn't have brought the idea. Maybe a drink and the cutting of the cake would do, I don't know why I brought the idea of adding an appreciation note to it. “Come on Sofia. Don't be scared, Daddy would love it” Enzo said to me, cheering me up. I swallowed before breathing in and out, “Don Salvatore Luca…” I looked at him and quickly regretted it because everything I had rehearsed flew from my head the moment my eyes met his.“Sofia” Enzo called and I blinked multiple times“Huhhhhh, yes. Don Salvatore, I want to thank you…” Oh shit, I can't do this looking at him.Should I stare at his shoes? His forehead, maybe. I decided to look at my fingers instead.“Since that day at the parking slot, you've been my hero and savior. Thank you for saving me and letting me stay, even if that was against your principles. I… I… know I'm not a family, but I feel like with you and Enzo
Sofia's POV“Sal… Salvatore” I quickly stood to my feet, staring at him as he walked over to me. “Is there something I can do for you? Should I take Enzo to bed? Do you want me to turn off the TV?” I asked so many questions at a time, but he pressed his finger on my lips.I gulped down the large lump in my throat as I seized my breath. We stood there staring at each other for what seemed like the longest time ever. I didn't know what was running in his mind and my heart was beating so fast and loud, I'm so sure he could hear it.He opened his mouth to speak, and my eyes landed on those lips I had mistakenly kissed today. Without thinking, I licked my lips,“Sofia…” The rest of the words went lost in my head because I couldn't hear them. My eyes were squarely on those lips as I remembered how I felt when he kissed me with those soft lips of his. Imagining licking and sucking those lips, I bit my lower lip. I had literally felt electricity from my lips down to my toes, and my brain
Sofia's POV I rushed like a crazy little girl to wrap my hands around Salvatore, moving so close that our bodies could literally touch, I kissed him deeper, pulling his neck closer like I wanted to eat him all up. The thought of sucking and nibbling his soft lips was all that filled my senses. My eyes closed, and I moaned in the kiss with my eyes closed. His hand on my lower back stroked me gently, making me sigh. This is heavenly, and I didn't want it to end. One of my hands went up to his hair and I ran my hand through it. Our tongues began to fight for dominance till he won and kissed me till I was breathless. We broke the kiss to catch our breath and that was when I got my brain that flee away back.“What the…” I stared at him as he did the same to me. We were both breathing heavily with our chests heaving up and down.My mouth fell open as I stared at him with regret. What did I just do?When I saw him open his mouth to speak, I quickly rushed into the bathroom and locked the
Salvatore's POV I stood there staring at the bathroom where she had run into, wondering why I did what I did. I wasn't supposed to kiss her. Yes, I had teased her earlier when she kissed my cheeks, but the plan wasn't to dive at her and kiss her like a hungry beast. Looking at the door, I sighed, she must be so scared as hell right now. I took advantage of Sofia, damn!Walking out of the room, I went to my study. There was no way I was going to tell Eduardo this. Kissing the wife of my enemy isn't something to be proud of. When I got into the study, I fell on the chair with my fingers on my temple. What did I just do?Maybe I was just too excited about the surprise they both planned for me. I loved it, I enjoyed every bit of it, and seeing them sing and dance for me, make me happy. Sofia was creeping into that soft spot in my heart meant for only Enzo, my son. That was why, when I saw her so close, I couldn't help but want her. Her scent, her eyes, that tiny waist, and her lips ca

Sofia's POVIt's been three days since the kiss accident. I had locked myself up in my room the next day, hoping Salvatore wouldn't come to find me. I didn't even eat that morning till Enzo came to knock on my door. I had to lie to him that I had been asleep and was only waking up now. Asking about his father, he explained that Salvatore had left for work at 8 am. Making me realize that I have been staying hidden for no reason. So for the past three days, I have been hiding indoors till after 8 am, and then I'll come out after Salvatore has left. Before he comes home, I'm back in my room, so I can say we haven't seen each other for three days straight, not even our shadows. “Come on, Enzo. Your father won't be traveling for long. He said a week, right?” I asked and saw him nod.“Then, why are you crying? Don't you have me to play with you and keep you company? I'll even put you to bed” I stroke his back. He shook his head, “The last time Daddy travelled, he came back with injuries
Salvatore's POVAnd the past three days, my mood has been sour. It was from one problem to another. News had come to me that a small gang had been the one playing with me. I knew these were kids I could just step on, and they'll be destroyed, so I don't see why Eduardo had asked me to hold a meeting. Before me were Eduardo, Diego, Aldo, Giorgio, and Dante. Aldo and Giorgio were the team Red and team Yellow, the former team green leader has been replaced, that's why Dante is sitting before us. Eduardo referred him saying he was good at his job since he started working for us, he is a dedicated-made man. “Fine, so these are new gangs. More like starters?” I asked Diego and he nodded.“They are new gangs but not starters, Don. They know more than they should, so I can't call them starters. I think someone is teaching them all that they know. They are too smart to be starters” and I sighed. I hate Local gangs and I don't even know why I'm being called to not only sit and listen to thei
Salvatore's POVI watched as Sofia slowly sat upright on the bed, my eyes remained fixed on her. “Good morning” her voice small and gentle. She didn't dare look at my eyes but anywhere else, making me almost chuckle. “Good morning to you too, Sofia. You came barging in like that—”“I'm sorry, Salvatore. I'm very sorry. I didn't know there were others in there. Enzo didn't tell me. I just wanted to ask…” she paused. I raised my brows, wondering why she stopped. “I'm sorry,” her head bowed. My eyes narrowed as I continued to stare at her. “What are you sorry for?” I asked her, and she blinked, without looking at me, she said, “For everything”Moving closer to sit beside her on the bed, I asked,“What's everything, Sofia? The kiss?” She snapped her eyes up to look at me,“Or for avoiding me for three days? Or is it for barging into my office like that? Or was it for…” She squeezed her eyes shut, ready to receive more questions,“For coming into the gathering of men dressed in this
Author's POV After the incident with Chloe, the relationship between Sophia and Salvatore became even stronger.Eduardo could no longer chase after her as he had learnt that she was pregnant.It has been over 8 months and the pregnancy was bigger and everyone around now knew that she was pregnant.Even little Enzo knew that she was pregnant and had decided to take her like his mom in order to go over the trauma of having to know that his own mother wanted to take his life."Mother " He called as he ran to her after coming back from school."What is it my dear?" She asked when he came closer to her."Look." He said as she took her gaze to his accessment file to see that he had the best grades."Wow, this is good Enzo." She said as she hugged him tightly."You know that it was all because of you mom, you made this possible." He said with a smile as she smiled."It's all your hard work dear""And your determination to make me work." He responded as they both chuckled."How's my little a
Sophia's POVI really didn't understand why he should be this caring to me, he was always being flirty and so I wasn't expecting his kind gesture all of a sudden."I'm fine " I muttered."Thank you so much for saving her." Salvatore said as he nodded.He took his gaze to the chemical that burnt the chair. "I can't believe that Chloe would be this wicked, how can she think of such an idea to kill a human." I asked."What of Damien?" I asked Salvatore."Yes we have to go look for where my son is, I don't know where that woman has taken my son to." He said."Please we need to look for Enzo at all costs, I am more concerned about him than anyone." I said."Eduardo takes her to the car while I go look for my son." He instructed."N...no, please I want to follow you two." I said."But you're pregnant." Salvatore without taking note of his words blurted out.Everyone now knows that I am pregnant, and there was no difference now if I tried to hide it from anyone. I could see the disappointme
Sophia's POVIt was the remote i saw her holding and the other was a knife."You want a slow death right?" She asked as I stared at her blankly, to be honest I still didn't understand what was happening.I wondered how a remote would cause my death."Can you explain to me?" I asked in confusion as she took her gaze up, I slowly followed them to find out that above me was a big bucket, but what I didn't know what it's contents."Do you know what that is?" She asked as I nodded negatively.She gave a smirk as she came closer to me. "It's called fluoroantimonic acid." She muttered with a smirk."What?" I asked as more tears leaked out of my eyes. "It's a kind of corrosive chemical that causes severe burn, it is worse than fire as it melts down anything it comes in contact with." She said in a smirk."S... so what are you planning to do with me?" I asked.."I want to melt you down, I mean that'll really be the sweetest death ever, don't you think?" She asked as more tears escaped from my
Sophia's POVI was scared, I could feel my legs shaking without me even making a move.I felt death whispering to my ears as the knife kept on dangling on my belly.She began tearing my clothes with the knife as all I did was to beg her, but she wasn't ready to listen to me."I begged you right? I told you to leave him and that I was ready to do everything to make you happy staying on your own, but you were just too selfish to leave him." She said."I have told you that I'll leave him, just spare me and my baby I beg you, I am ready to stay without Salvatore." I said with a pleading tune."But I want to talk to your baby, he's Salvatore child right?" She asked but I said nothing as I kept on breathing in hard breaths."I'm asking you a question." She groaned as I nodded briskly."Good, and so in that case I want to talk to him, if I can't have some time with Salvatore then I can surely have some time with him, don't you think?" She asked."My baby has no business with this, so please
Sophia's POV I felt weak that even my eye lids were hard for me to get them opened. I just felt weak deep in my bones, but then I struggled with all effort to get up, atleast that was what I could do right now to help myself. After trying hard I was able to lift my eye lids open to see where I was. The room looked somehow dirty and dark more like an uncompleted building. "What am I doing here?" I asked myself as I took my gaze around and then got to find out that I was tied to a chair. I couldn't move any part of my body regardless of how hard I tried I was just unable to make any movements. "What's happening?" I muttered. I was too weak In a way that I could not even make any movements. It was an impossibility for me to make any move, as I was tied and at the same time weak. "Arrgh." I groaned as I kept on trying my best to get out of the grip of this chains. Seeing that I was getting hurt by this, I gave up and decided not to make any movements, in order not to injure mysel
Salvatore's POV I was at the meeting with my board members, as we were discussing the growth of my company. I was not only centered at the underground business but I had a company that made so much money. Although the mafia business was my main source of income, I kind of used this for a cover up. "Sir our resources are slowly depreciating and we need adequate.finds to raise it at equilibrium, we were the top five biggest companies in America but presently we are suffering from funds to renew our resources, and if I must say, this is really having a downgrade on us" my manager said. I frowned. "What the hell are you trying to say huh? I mean what the fuck is happening to the funds I invested in that company this is the third time I am having complaints this year about the funds.'" I complained. "Now tell me? What the hell is happening to all the money I invested in that company? Because this is more or less compared to a case of fraud." I said as the other members took their gaze
Sophia's POV I was hoping that it wasn't what my instincts were whispering to me. "Who's there?" I asked. "It's me." The voice replied. My heart skipped. It was Eduardo again. What the hell was happening to that man, why the hell is he stalking me. My hands went to my phone. I thought of calling Salvatore too. But I was having second thoughts. What the hell would I tell Salvatore if he asks me why I was calling him? The thoughts were quite bothersome. "Can you open the door for me?" He asked. "What do you want from me?" I asked with anger. "You know what I want, so 'stop acting innocent and open the door for me" he said from outside as my heart beats increased even more. At this point I was now thinking of what to do in order to make him go away. "Can you open the door now?" He asked. "I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, please let me." I responded to him. "I promise that this won't take any minutes of your time I just want to ask you something that's all." He repli
Sophia's POV.I became so worried when I learned that she knows that I am pregnant.Of all people, it was her that knew about my pregnancy, and this wasn't something I'd be happy with.I knew what she was capable of doing, I really didn't know what to do now, she now knows that I am pregnant and she was capable of doing anything just to get rid of my baby, and that was what I was trying to avoid, I can't let her lay even a single hand on my baby.The thoughts were just too much that I didn't realize the moment Chloe had walked her way into the room with her wheelchair.The moment she walked in, I was moved by her presence."Hello." She said with a smile standing at the threshold."Hi." I said, feeling startled by her presence.She rolled in. "You look startled, hope my presence isn't startling you?" She asked."Why? I see you everyday so why would I get startled by your presence?" I asked."Because you're guilty, you know exactly what you did, and so you tend to be startled." She repl
Chloe's POVI said nothing to him as he moved closer to me. "You think you're smart right? You now want to do things on your own?" He asked."Just let go of me, let me be Eduardo." I said as I stood to my feet. He clutched my wrist. "I have helped you up to this extent and you want to betray me? You want to fight against them without my help?" He asked."Yes, I don't, I do not value your help anymore so I think it's high time we sever ties. I can do this on my own." I said as he clutched my throat. "How dare you speak such rubbish?" He asked."Let me go Eduardo, I don't want to partner with you again." I said."You have to. We have the same mission and so you need my help, without my help then there's nothing you can do in this mansion." He said still holding onto my neck.I was able to stretch my hand over to the bottle and clutch it, and without wasting time I broke it on his head and he let go of me clutching his head in pain.He groaned as he held his head..lI stepped back. "If
