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
Sofia's POVI sat upright, heaving up and down. I have been having the same recurring dream for a while now and seeing Salvatore stabbing me, caused my heart to ache. Was he going to do this? Although I tried to push the thought out of my head, I just couldn't. It seemed to be stuck in my head. "Would Salvatore really do that? Would he stab me just like I have seen in the dream?" I wondered out loud, although I didn't want to believe that, I couldn't get over that feeling of dread that had settled underneath me. I just couldn't. Standing up abruptly from the bed that I was sitting on, I sauntered toward the ensuite toilet, turning on the faucet and splashing water on my face. I looked drained and my face lacked color, being locked in here every day wasn't helping either. The last person who had stepped in after Salvatore had left was the maid who had brought in food and had waited until I was done eating to take the plate back.The guards who stood by the door had nothing to write
Sofia's POVCaressing my aching heart gently, I placed a foot forward when the figure walked past. I wanted earnestly for Enzo to walk past and when he finally did, I stepped out of my hiding place, running after him. "You almost fainted out there, why are you so scared?" He asked, with a glint on his face. I glared at him, not wanting to say another word out of my lips. I couldn't do that, not at this moment. "I wouldn't want to be caught, so can you walk faster?" I glanced around at intervals, still worried that someone might catch up with us. " This is it" he stepped in front of a room, pulling it open. It was as though I was blown into a different world. Unlike most rooms which I knew most kids were used to, Enzo's room was different, painted gray and green, somehow although I have always been of the opinion that those two colors didn't match. Somehow what I was seeing here made me have change of mind. "This is yours?" I asked with my mouth wide agape, " Yes" he answered,
Salvatore's POVI glanced directly at the door which was left open, wondering who must be in there, since Eduardo was with me, there was only one person who was allowed inside my room and that was Enzo. A smile cascaded my face as I thought of him. I have missed him and unlike me, I wasn't able to see him before leaving for the auction today. My eyes strayed to the Auburn gold jewelry in my hands. Somehow, the only person who had come to my mind immediately after I had seen it was Sophia, and although I knew I had done it to show Allesandro that he couldn't get all he wanted, a part of me was eager to see the look on her face when she sees the necklace, that I had gotten for her.Wait! The smile on my face faded as soon as it had come immediately I stepped in. " What are you doing here?" I asked, glaring at her. She fidgeted with her hands, tugging at them for a while before glancing up at me. " I came here with Enzo to get something and…m"" Get my son's name out of your mouth,
Salvatore POVWalking in a large stride toward my office, I stood at the door listening to the conversation between Eduardo and Enzo. "You are all the same, how can you treat her in such a way? She isn't harmful" Suddenly, I could feel my head aching and with a finger, I massaged it gently. Enzo could be a handful at times but he was still the same sweet son I have always known. Pulling the doorknob clockwise, I stepped in, waiting for Enzo to talk but he was silent. Glaring daggers at me, something that I wasn't used to. "I was right Salvatore, you shouldn't have trusted her in the first place," Eduardo said to me immediately after I had stepped in, a smile on his face. I knew he was feeling so happy, that what he had told me was correct, "I guess I shouldn't have" I shrugged, agreeing with him on what he had just said. He was right after all, on calling Sofia a spyHow was I supposed to know that she was one? She looked so innocent and harmless and didn't seem like someone who
Sofia's POVThe minute I got back into the room, I fell on the bed crying. I knew right from the beginning that it was a terrible idea to follow Enzo, I just never expected that Salvatore would still see me that way, until now. I didn't do anything when I even got to his office. All I did was stare around.I know how it works here in the mafia world, like Alessandro, there have a lot of secrets they do not want anyone to know about, so why can't he believe me when I told him that I didn't do anything besides follow Enzo here?Remembering how he pulled me out of his office with his firm grip, my heart breaks. I promise, I only followed Enzo there. I didn't know how many minutes or hours I had laid on the bed carrying, but I heard the sound of my door, opening. I raised my head to see who it was, I sniffed.The moment I noticed that it was Salvatore, I was quick to stand on my feet,“Salvatore” his name came out quickly from my lips and I saw him scoff. He was still dressed in the out
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
