Sofia's POVI lay on the bed like a dead fish, there was nothing else to do. I had looked through all the clothes in the walk-in closet, taken my bath, and washed my hair. I had eaten, twice. That's one thing I noticed, they kept bringing food to me like I was starving. I've eaten twice just this morning.After Salvatore left, I fell right back on the bed and slept off again. I knew it was because I had slept late because of Nana. It was just in twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door and food was brought to me. I ate before going to take my bath, since I was no longer sleepy. After bathing, another round of food was brought to me and I wondered why, but still ate it. The food was too good for me to resist.After eating, I decided to do what would keep me busy. I have been doing all that, and now I am jobless and bored. I am not a fan of movies, else I would have watched a movie, but I don't think so.I lay on the bed as I began to wonder if I should ask Salvatore to get me a w
Sofia's POVTurning slowly in fear to see what it was that Enzo was showing me, I saw nothing. There was no one there, nothing scary there, and there was no reason to scream either.“Enzo?” I drawled in annoyance, and he said,“Look, the time” I snapped my head to look at the wall clock and I frowned,“Yes Enzo, it's 2:15 pm” “That's the problem,” he said to me as he came down from the bed, and I raised my brow.Just as I was about to ask what the problem was, the two guards beside my door barged in with stiff faces and their hands on their backs. I knew they were ready to take out the gun and shoot if in case there was trouble.“What's the noise?” One of them asked.“I screamed”“And why did you scream?” He asked again and Enzo replied, “I wanted to. Can you leave now?” Enzo asked and I raised my brow. He acted so bravely in front of them.They looked around the room with their eyes before making their way into my bathroom and closet and finally coming out“Be good” I heard them s
Salvatore's POV“What did Mr. Niko say about the deal? Is he in?” I asked Eduardo as we made our way into the house.“Is there anyone that wouldn't want to have a profitable deal with you?” He asked back and I let out a chuckle. “He sure is in, and it didn't take a lot of convincing for him to agree” I raised my brows at Eduardo's words and he explained,“He said he's been waiting for it” and I nodded with amusement dancing in my eyes. Mr. Niko is a wealthy and powerful man in California. He is known for his power, which makes him seek more power. Working with me means my name is now among his allies, which was good for business for the both of us.As we made our way in, I said to Eduardo,“I'll change first” and he gave me a nod. Today, we planned on going to see someone of the finished work by the men I had assigned to carry out some duty. Eduardo was the first to head upstairs and soon halted in his steps. Before I could speak, he did, “What are you doing there, Enzo?” He aske
Sofia's POV“Heaven's me” I signed in relief the moment Salvatore left my room. Why did Enzo have to lie about his father giving him permission? What if we get caught?I shook my head as I fell down on the bed. That boy had caused me to lose a lot of blood tonight. I was so scared of getting caught by Salvatore, there's nothing that can escape a mafia's eyes. I am so sure Salvatore just didn't want to press the issue any more else, the truth would have been out.I glanced at my bed before pushing myself up after what felt like forever. I made my way to the bathroom to take a cool bath. I should thank the guards later for not telling on us.It was in the bathroom, my stomach protested in hunger. I've not eaten since this afternoon, I wonder if there would be food tonight for me. I wrapped a large towel around my chest before picking another clean my wet hair.The minute I walked out of the bathroom, I came face to face with Salvatore and sucked in my breath sharply. He was still dress
Salvatore's POV The meeting had gone incredibly well even without the documents, but my mood hasn't changed one bit. I had my face looking out the window as I continued to wonder why Sofia would steal from me. If not her, then who?Eduardo sat in the right passenger's seat while I sat at the back, the driver drove up home in total silence. Remembering how she had claimed she didn't steal anything, I couldn't find any atom of guilt or deceit in her eyes. What is this girl up to?The car rolled into the spacious compound and stopped. I came out before any of them before making my way into the house in anger. Eduardo followed behind, I could tell that he was worried about the documents as well.The moment I entered the office, I heard him say,“I am very sure we didn't give the documents to anyone, and you had taken it from the car that day. Who must have taken it?” His question made my teeth clench as I could only think of one person.“I hate to say this, but who else would dare come
Sofia's POVEven though I tried not to think about it, I just couldn't stop my mind from going back and forth. I hated that Salvatore would suspect me. I know it isn't easy for a mafia to trust a person, but I was really innocent, I didn't do anything. I didn't steal anything.After taking my bath and dressing up, I made my way to the window to stare out and appreciate nature. Since I wasn't allowed to go out, I can as well do it indoors from here.When I heard the knock on the door, my already pounding heartbeat increased. I couldn't breathe properly, and my throat dried up instantly. When I opened the door and saw Eduardo also, it was over. I could tell since I came into this mansion that he never liked me. But the moment I heard him say that he didn't think I was the one who had stolen the documents, my head flew up to look at him.Was this God sending me a helper?“Why?” Salvatore asked and surprisingly tag was the same question in my mind, why? Why did he not believe that I coul
Salvatore's POVSoon, I had Sofia come down for dinner. If the CCTV camera was to be placed in hidden corners of her room, she can't be there. The best way to distract her is to have her come down for dinner.Looking at her and Enzo, I can't tell who's happier about being downstairs. Enzo has the liberty to come downstairs anytime he likes, but it was like freeing Sofia was freeing him as well. Since they both sat down to eat, they have been talking to each other, ignoring my presence as if I'm not there with them. Enzo kept speaking like, I don't think I have seen him speak that much and have been this happy before.“Today's episode was even more interesting than yesterday's own. I wonder why it ended there, I almost screamed at the TV” Sofia said with a giggle while Enzo laughed out loud too.“I told you the cartoon is very interesting" he licked his lips while Sofia served more food for him.The way she acted towards him, I could only describe her as a caring mother to her child.
Salvatore's POVThe looks on Eduardo's face had already told me that indeed there was a problem. I looked at the two bundles of joy in front of me and I sighed, I wish I could postpone whatsoever it is that's wrong now.Sofia and Enzo turned in my direction when they saw me stand. I wasn't done with my food, but for Eduardo to come even when he saw me eating, it must be a serious issue.“You both go to bed when you're done eating. See you tomorrow” I said to them.Enzo wanted to nod but paused before he looked up at me, “Father?” “Hm Enzo” “Can Sofia tell me a bedtime story since you won't be available together?” He asked with puppy eyes. He was trying his luck, he waited for my reply, and I wonder what made him always try when I always give him a negative response.“Okay,” I said and turned to leave, but I could hear the excitement from behind. A small smile appeared on my lips. I made my way to the office with Eduardo behind me. I sat on the chair and asked,“What is it?” And Ed
