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
Sofia's POVSalvatore took me to the bed gently before kissing me on the lips. I opened up to him the very minute he wanted me to. His hands stroked my skin so softly and slowly that I couldn't help but shiver under his touch. I could feel butterflies in my stomach as his tongue moved in sequence with me. His hand settled around one of my breasts and he squeezed it. A moan escaped my lips as I broke the kiss to catch my breath.Salvatore didn't mind that, he attacked my neck, kissing and nibbling me there. My back arched at the foreign sensation, my finger dug into Salvatore's shoulder and I heard him chuckle a little, “Aren't you so sensitive?” He asked before kissing my lips, and I blushed. “I… I've never… I never… got it this way” I replied as I bit my lower lip. He pulled away slightly to stare into my eyes. When I turned away from him, he cussed, “Fuck! I'll kill Alessandro” but I shook my head as tears rolled down my eyes. “I'm sorry,” he said to me. He sounded sincere, an
Sofia's POVI yawned sleepily and stretched my hand lightly, but upon touching the empty and cold bed, my eyes went wide open.I turned to my side and saw an empty bed. Salvatore was no longer in the room, he must have left for a while now because his side of the bed was cold already. This made me wonder if he was still at home or if he had left.Picking up my phone, I checked for a message from him but found none from him, which gave me the thought that he was still in the house.I walked to the bathroom, took my bath, and quickly arranged myself before I left the room searching for him. Last night was just the best. I cannot help but continue to recall, Salvatore had been so sweet and gentle to me. It made me tear up.I met Enzo as I made my way downstairs, he was in the dining room dressed in his school uniform and having his breakfast. He looked so cute.
Sofia's POV It was when I frowned that Mimi raised her hands in the air while trying to control her laughter, “Alright miss. I won't tease you anymore, please continue already.” She said. “So…. When is the wedding?” I didn't notice the tease in her voice, so I replied honestly.“I don't know yet,” I replied, and she rolled her eyes. That's when I noticed what was going on, “Mimi!” I exclaimed and she giggled. “What?!? It's vivid that he's in love with you. I bet you'll be getting wedded to him soon, Enzo's mom.” She said, and that made me smile.If it was Salvatore, I'll gladly accept. “I hope so. Actually, I also like him a lot.” I muttered shyly.“Hm-hm.” Madam Cassie purposely cleared her throat loudly. I didn't even know when came here. How long has she been standing here?Mimi bowed her head while I cleared my throat and I looked away. I can't believe this! I'm okay if it's Mimi, but madam Cassie hearing all that we have talked about was making me uncomfortable.“Someone se
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
