Salvatore PovWas I too harsh? I couldn't stop thinking of how I had treated the old woman unfairly, gazing at the palm which I had wrapped around her neck, I knew that I had been too hard on her when I shouldn't have.I hadn't even given her a moment to defend herself and all that I had done was attack her, sighing deeply with a hand around my waist. I took a last glance at Sofia's room before walking toward one of the guards standing close by. When I walked away from her room, her eyes were misty and I could tell that she was about to cry. It had taken all of me not to caress her cheek gently, attempting to wipe away the tears that seemed to have brimmed in her eyes. Letting out a sigh escape from my lips yet again, I gestured at the guard to come closer. "Yes Don" his body was curved and his head facing the ground. "I want you to get me the woman who had walked out of the room I was in a while ago" I gave him the instruction but the stunned look on his face told me he knew noth
Sofia's POVPouting my lips, I plopped on the bed for what felt like the tenth time to me within a minute. Ever since the day Salvatore had walked away from the room after seeing Nana inside the room, I have been confined to the room, not moving an inch. Was I some sort of doll who was dressed beautifully just so it could wait for its owner? I wondered but on a second thought, I sighed. The doll which was dressed beautifully for its owner was better than I was because at least it knew that its owner would come for it one day but mine was different. Salvatore hasn't been here since the day he had seen Nana in here. Nana, I haven't seen her for a while now and I was hoping that she was okay wherever she was. Boom. Boom. Boom. The sound of guns being shot tore through the air again, sending shivers through my body. One would have thought I had gotten used to gunshots but that wasn't the case. Back at Allesandro's, it wasn't this frequent, here, it was as though they took pleasure i
Sofia's POVI watched as Zelda took a step forward, intending to confront Eduardo who still had his hands wrapped around the lady he had walked in with, not showing an act of remorse."How could you?" Her voice broke as she confronted him, she sounded just like a broken disk to me and it was annoying already. "How could you do this to me? I loved you, I gave you my all but instead, this is the way you paid me back, how could you hurt me in such a way?" I took a step back, watching her confront him, wait! Does that mean the person she was here to meet wasn't Salvatore but Eduardo?I raised my gaze, staring in the same direction as Salvatore but quickly withdrew my gaze when our eyes met. The look in his eyes and the way his eyes bore into me, causes me to fidget with my figure.I gulped in my spit, trying to get rid of it but it seemed to be stuck to my head. "Get a hold of yourself or you are going to hurt yourself, what exactly is wrong with you?" Eduardo asked," I thought that I
Salvatore's POV" I have told you countless times Eduardo, about having numerous relationships at the same time, I have given you orders countless times about this but still, you don't listen, what do you take me for, someone who you can do whatever you want to?" I was trying to wrap what had just happened around my head. Everything had happened in a split second, Zelda has been laughing hysterically but never would I have thought she was capable of doing something like this. Eduardo had his head bowed to the ground, averting his gaze and not wanting to meet mine. "I am sorry, I…. I never knew it would come to this" I glanced pitifully at the lone figure that was lying underneath the steps.She had rolled off the stairs before hitting the bottom and I was hoping that it would be nothing serious."Go" I wave a hand at him, dismissing him, he had better things to do. "And make sure she doesn't end up dying" I added, when he scooped the strange lady in his arms. Crimson red blood fi
Sofia's POV"Allesandro please, don't do this to me" I pleaded, running both of my palms together as he walked closer to me with a sharp knife in his hands, one that was dripping with blood."How dare you defy my orders, I told you the last time, didn't I?" He had a smile on his face. One that widened as he took steps closer to me. A malicious grin on his face. "I promise," I pleaded, running down the hallway. Hoping that somehow he would have a change of heart and wouldn't hurt me" I promise not to defy your orders anymore, but please don't kill me, I will do whatever it is that you want me to do" " Help me, someone help me" I pleaded, but just like always, there was no one who would be able to defy his instructions and help me.Everyone turned their faces away, not wanting to take another look at me. Leaving me to my doom. "How many times Sophia, how many times have I warned you against talking with the old women downstairs? You both were talking about killing me, weren't you?"
Salvatore's POVTapping my fingers on the seat beside me, I waited, obviously pissed off at how slow the car was driving."What did you say happened?" I questioned Eduardo while waiting for an answer. The cooling air from the air conditioner was supposed to calm me down but instead, it did more harm than good. My patience was going thin with each minute that passed. "It will be clear soon, it is just a little traffic jam which wouldn't take long"I couldn't get over what he had just from my mind and I was having regrets already about not using the helicopter when I was advised to. It would have made things easier for me."It is moving Don Salvatore and we should get there in the next three minutes" the driver's voice resonated in the car, pulling me from my wide sea of thought.Today was a great day, one that I couldn't wait to see what it holds. The look on my enemies' faces as I showed them how ruthless I could be was entertaining and it was amusing to me already.The luxurious car
Salvatore POVThe look on Allesandro's face made me chuckle, I could feel it just like daggers being thrown at me. If he was going to act so petty, I was going to make sure that there was no way I would back down either, Don Salvatore wasn't one to back down. "He is acting just like a spoiled child whose favorite toy has been taken away" Eduardo mocked, before laughing out loud at Allesandro who had his fist tightened into a ball. "You should learn to take defeat better Allesandro, stop acting so petty, you should know I would do whatever it is to make you fall, I thought we have acknowledged that already?" I questioned, a stern look on my face "And now, let's call the man of the hour, Mr. Allesandro to give his speech" Finally, he withdrew his gaze, walking down the steep stairs leading to the platform. I watched with a disgruntled look as he gave his speech, one that I knew wasn't from his heart. "He is giving a vote of thanks to you," Eduardo said, looking stunned. I nodded a
Salvatore POV"You wouldn't dare do anything like that, Salvatore," Allesandro said, causing me to halt in my space, a smile on my face. "What did you just say?" I asked, wanting to hear what he had said again. I needed him to say the words he had said again because I was ready to unleash hell on him."Why are you so confident that you will be able to know my wife if you see her?" He glanced around, seeing that he was garnering looks from everyone, he bridged the gap between us. "When there is barely a picture of her anywhere? You have some nerves you know, you walk in here, talk trash to me to my face, in my house, and now, you are trying to get me vexed, don't you have any fear, Salvatore?"I scoffed, I was thinking we were done with that already and I didn't want to hear a word of anything he was going to say anymore but who am I to reject an invitation to make ridicule him? I was going to take any little opportunity that presented itself to make a joke of him. Since he was read
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
