Sofia's POVNana held me by the hand as we walked past an exit I never knew was ever in this house. “Nana, how did you know about this place?” She held my mouth closed. “Shhhh” she shut me up as she continued to pull me out of the exit silently. We appeared at the back of the mansion. I have never been to this part of the Mansion before. I followed Nana until she opened the gate that, I thought, was locked. She had the keys, again I wanted to ask how she got it but paused when I heard the sound of a car.Was that Salvatore? It has to be. Who else would drive in?“Nana, I think Salvatore is back”“That's not true,” Nana said to me, but I was adamant about seeing who it was that had come into Salvatore's mansion“Let me go and see for myself,” I told Nana, but her grip tightened around me.“You can't leave now that we've gotten here” she argued and I replied immediately, “What if that's Salvatore? Why should we leave if the person we are going to search for is already here?” I asked
Sofia's POVOn our way, I kept smiling as I thought of Enzo's reaction. He would be so happy to see his father back, he has hoped and cried too much. Salvatore came down, and I followed when I noticed we've gotten to Enzo's school. There, he made a call. “Aren't we going in?” I asked him.“No, they'll come out” he said to me, making me remember that two guards had actually stayed behind this morning when I came to drop Enzo at school. It didn't take long, Enzo was coming out with a straight face. His bag was held by one of the guards, and he walked down like he cared less about anything. A true Salvatore. Not until he saw his father, though. His eyes twinkled, and a wide grin broke out on his face. Before I knew it, Enzo was running down happily. The last time I saw this genuine smile on his face was thebday before his father left for his business, as he called it.Enzo jumped on Salvatore, who was quick to pick him up in his arms. The man must have missed his son so much too beca
Salvatore's POVAll this time, while we were under attack, all I could think of at that moment was Sofia and Enzo. I wished I had set some things right before leaving, like telling Sofia how I felt, but on second thought, how can I convert my enemy's wife?I noticed Enzo and Sofia had become so close, it made me wonder what exactly happened while I was gone. They spoke freely like best friends, and I wonder the stunt Sofia is going to pull just to get Enzo friends in school.I'm not surprised he doesn't have a single friend, I never had one, too. Especially when my father made it so difficult for me to have one. I'm not hard on Enzo, not like my father was to me.We were at the dining table having dinner. Sofia and Enzo kept discussing something I'm not so sure about. From time to time, Enzo tells me a funny story of what happened while I was away.I'm glad he
Salvatore's POVThe smile had not left my lips even after leaving Enzo's room. As I had thought, the king was me and the maiden was Sofia. She was telling a story that got me thinking, the beautiful maiden was in love with the king.I shook my head as I walked into my office. There are a lot of things I needed to work on now that I was back home. Turning on the computer, I remembered what had happened the day we went on our little trip. We never expected them to be prepared for us. The plan was to go pay them a visit and maybe remind them who the boss is here in Sicily, but those dumb motherfuckers killed four of my men!We had been left stranded in the middle of nowhere. That wasn't the problem, but the fact that there were bullets still in our bodies that needed to be taken out with immediate effect. We had to do the surgeries ourselves, as we know they shouldn't remain in our bodies for so long. Eduardo had advised we continue to move because whoever was doing this was going to
Sofia's POVThe light appearing from the narrow opening of the curtain shone into my room and down my bed, entering my eyes. I murmured a few words I didn't even understand before getting up from the bed. My eyes went first to the wall clock and I gasped, “Enzo,” with great speed, I rushed to the bathroom. Enzo would be late for school because of me. Why didn't anyone wake me up? It was 7 am already. Moving as fast as I could, I took my bath speedily. Yesterday, I had woken up so early even without an alarm, but today. I hope Enzo was already up, though.Well, Enzo always wakes up early, unlike me. When I was done taking my bath, I wrapped myself in a towel, thanks to this cap Enzo had given to me a few weeks ago, I don't have to wet my hair whenever I take my bath.I rushed out of the bathroom, only to receive the shock of my life. I saw Salvatore standing in the middle of my room,“Salvatore…” I breathed out. And like a flash, it hit me what had happened last night. How can I f
Sofia's POVWe all sat at the back of the car with Enzo. Enzo and I kept talking about what we would do when he gets back from school,“Don't forget to watch P.J. Masks this afternoon by 2 pm. You'll tell me what happens when I get back” I nodded my head as he spoke, “Okay, I'll watch for you” “You didn't watch it yesterday. Do not forget today” his eyes fixed on me like he wanted me to swear I'll watch the movie.“I forgot yesterday. And you know how boring it is watching it alone,” “How will I know what's going on if you're not watching it?” He asked as he crossed his arms on his chest.“For heaven's sake, Enzo, I said I'll watch it” I sighed, and he gave me a firm nod before he went on to the next discussion.Enzo and I kept talking till we got to his school,“Do you want me to come and address your class to remind them that you are the coolest boy ever?” I asked as I winked at him.Enzo chuckled as he came down from the car after me. “No, I'll just tell them the reason why the
Sofia's POVThe kiss was slow and steady, like he was searching for something from me. After a while, he pulled away, but his lips were still very close to mine. He said to me with his hot breath on my lips, “Yeah, certainly we need to talk” Again, I licked my lips as I stared at those eyes of his. He moved backwards and the next thing I heard was the car engine turning on. I had totally forgotten that we were in the car in the middle of God knows where. Silence filled the car as I didn't know what to say if he asked why I kissed him last night or why I kept reciprocating his kisses. God, my heart is giddy, and it just can't stop beating fast. I kept biting my lips from time to time as I wondered what I would say if he asks me these questions in my head. I know I shouldn't have kissed him, I knew it, but what should I have done?The car stopped, and I noticed I've been staring at my fingers for the longest time, playing with them. When I looked up, I noticed Salvatore had already
Sofia's POV I picked up my spoon, but I had lost all appetite to eat. Remembering Alessandro brought a sour taste to my mouth. Letting out a ruffle cry, I begged, “Help me, Salvatore. I am only safe in your mansion, please don't send me out. I saw Alessandro when I was coming back home yesterday from Enzo's school. He is looking for me, he'll kill me if he finds me” Salvatore's gaze was on me, but he wasn't saying a thing, “Please” I whimpered. “Sofia,” he called before dropping his cutlery as well, “Do you know why I brought you here?” I shook my head and he sighed, “First, I want you to know that I don't like Alessandro” I nodded. He is not even supposed to, they are both with different characters. “I don't like him too” I murmured, and he let out a small chuckle.“And me?” He asked, making me look at him with confusion written all over my face, “Do you like me?” He asked and my eyes widened. I felt my cheek burn and my neck I could suspect was red already.“Do not lie to
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
