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
Sofia's POV It's been two days since Salvatore asked me to be his girlfriend. He had told me that day that he wanted to tell Enzo about it. I wondered how he planned to tell the little child and aside from that, I was scared. I don't know what Enzo will think of me. I didn't know whether he was going to accept it or not. Well, since that day, Salvatore has been busy. We only see during dinner and when we are taking Enzo to school. I suspect work had been way too much for him because whenever he comes back, he has a tired expression on his face, making me wonder when he would be less busy. Today, we had just finished taking dinner when he and Eduardo left for the study. It's been going on for the last two days. I don't know if I'm only noticing it now because I see him as my boyfriend now, or if it's not work as he tells me. “Enzo, let's go to your room,” I said as I held Enzo by the hand. For Enzo, not to ask me anything yet means that Salvatore has not told him yet. “You w
Sofia's POV “Sofia!” I gasped as I pushed myself away from the bed and went to open the door, “Alessandro,” “I'll be going away for a few days, remain in this house. If you run away, I have instructed the guards around to waste you, so be careful if you like your life” I gulped and bobbed my head up and down obediently. He pressed his lips on mine with his grip holding on to my chin tightly before he pulls away. “Good girl” he murmured before walking out of the room. With Alessandro, whenever he goes on a mission, I pray he doesn't return, but time and time again, he returns to my displeasure. “Oh, you are praying that I don't return, huh?” He appears again in front of me, gripping my chin tightly, “I'm sorry, please let me go” “Fuck you!” He landed a slap on my cheek and I groaned as I fell to the bed. “You pray I die, right? The day I die, you die! Do you hear me?!?” He asked, but tears only rolled down my cheeks. “You fucking bitch,” another slap landed on my ch
Salvatore's POVI woke up to find the two people whom I would live and die for still asleep. They must have been scared all through the night that they didn't get to sleep on time. After the shooting, I went there to find them all sleeping together, so close to each other. Waking Mimi and Madam Cassie, I asked them to go to their room before I picked Enzo up. Enzo doesn't sleep deeply like Sofia. So he woke up the moment I picked him up.His first question was if I was okay, and I nodded. Smiling, he said he saw me and Sofia kissed, and he asked if I liked her. Enzo is a sweet boy, I know he would support me no matter what. So when I nodded, he nodded too before going back to sleep. It was after putting Enzo to sleep that I had gone to carry Sofia from the secret room to her room.The girl didn't wake up at all. It was when she had the nightmare that I had to wake her up. I hate that Alessandro was still tormenting her even when he was far from her. I am just glad I was there when
Sofia's POVI had wanted to discuss with Salvatore concerning the guards that he always placed around Enzo in school, especially when the boy complained of not making friends because of them, but I just couldn't anymore after what happened two nights ago. I no longer wanted Enzo to be all by himself, I could see that they were searching for a way to get to Salvatore and if it was Enzo, they would use him since he was his son. Getting up from the bathtub, I made my way to the shower and turned it on. It's been a long day, I had prepared a cake, especially for Eduardo. His hand had fully healed, and that called for a little celebration. Or not. I was only jobless. After spending some time in the shower, I wrapped myself with a towel, excited to finally go to bed after putting Enzo to sleep a while ago. Salvatore wasn't back yet, he did tell me he would stay out late. Since the attack, I easily panicked and worried a lot. So Salvatore promised to always call if he was going to stay o
