SALVATORE'S POV“She's pretty,” Antonio said. I took over from Sofia. She was asking the wrong questions, and she was too slow with it. “Oh,” my breath came out in a hurry after hearing the boy's words, “Can you explain more about this person to me?” I asked him and the boy grinned happily.After hearing the boy mention that a lady picked my little boy, a faint suspicion grew and began to gnaw me deep.I have a feeling that the kidnap is related to her, but I don't want to jump to a conclusion, so I will rather let the evidence point her out as the person behind itThe boy suddenly pouted when I expected him to continue, “But that beautiful lady told me not to say anything. She says it's our secrets.” He muttered with teary eyes.Upon hearing that, a furious feeling took over me. I had to control myself to stop myself from strangling the woman already.I gritted my teeth and patted the kid's shoulder, trying to act friendly even though I knew my face was likely to be twisted.“Litt
Salvatore's POVOf course, I had a faint premonition of who it was, but I can't tell Sofia now nor can I bring myself to lie to her, so I fell silent and pretended to do something on my phone.Even without looking at Sophia, I knew she was hurt by my actions, and it broke my heart, but some things can't be said that sudden.There is nothing I won't want to tell Sofia. She is my joy and lover, but now's not the time. Now, we need to get Enzo back from the bitch!And luckily, Eduardo's call came through, giving me the escape I needed.The instance I picked up Eduardo's call, she turned away, pretending not to listen. I pretended to be calm as I talked to Eduardo. Eduardo ended up giving me the same description the little boy gave me, but Eduardo's was more detailed. The lady was the one who picked Enzo up from his class.“I'll come to get you, stay there,” I said to himI clenched my fist against the steering after ending the call.I decided to call my boys to ask them how far they wer
Sofia's POV“Chloe? Of course, she's Enzo's mother.” The word kept on ringing in my head even though I tried not to think further. I took a glance at Salvatore, but he looked calm, and it didn't seem as if he wanted to explain anything to me, just like earlier when I asked him if he knew who kidnapped Enzo And it turns out that Salvatore knew who kidnapped Enzo, but he was just not willing to tell me who it was. Why? I thought we were dating. I thought we were close enough to know many things about each other. But why wouldn't he tell me just a simple thing like that? What type of woman does he think I am? What is our relationship? I was sad and hurt about what happened, but still, I didn't say anything to him. After all, Salvatore didn't look like someone who would answer me if I questioned him. Even though Eduardo had given me a reply, Salvatore still didn't pay me a glance.“I understand,” I replied. Eduardo didn't seem to look my way again. I think Salvatore had been able to
Salvatore's POVThat bitch brought men. Backups. Where from? I wondered.I'll make sure she pays for taking my son and placing him in such danger. When the others were exchanging bullets, Eduardo and I made our way into the abandoned building. My son is all that's in my mind right now, and that's who I cared about. With my gun before me, I walked carefully further into the building,“Hello, darling Salvatore” and my eyes darkened. I looked back and forth, but I couldn't see him, I could only hear her speak. “Chloe. Where is my son?” “How are you doing, my darling Salvatore?” She continued to ask without answering his.“Fuck you, Chloe. Where the hell is my son? I didn't come here to respond to your stupid questions!” I thundered in anger. The grip on my gun tightened and my eyes red in anger.“But you have to, honey. You don't have a choice. The earlier you start answering all of my questions, the better. Your son's life is in my hands” she drawled, making me wonder why I didn't k
Sofia's POVThe shooting had calmed down, everywhere was silent again, so I raised my head slowly to look out the window. I can imagine the men on the floor, dead already. Alessandro's face flashed through my memory when I thought of the dead people. The man was good at killing people. Even his own men, he killed without mercy. Once you make a silly mistake, you're gone for good.I looked at the building, wondering whose team was going to come out. Was it Salvatore or the witch, Chloe?All this while, my head was bowed, I kept praying and crying that Enzo and Salvatore comes back alive. My heart was beating so loudly, my throat tightened and my eyes blurry. Where are they? Why isn't anyone coming out? Just as the tears rolled down my cheeks, my eyes caught sight of two people.“Enzo?” I whispered before screaming out loud.“Enzo!” Rushing out of the car, I ran towards him. When Enzo saw that it was me, he pulled his hand away from Eduardo before running toward me as well. We met i
Sofia's POVI pulled my hand away immediately before looking from Salvatore to Eduardo, back to Salvatore. I turned to see Enzo smiling so wide at mI opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know what to say. No one was talking, and only Enzo seemed to have a smile on his face. Chloe had something that looked like a smile, but I knew better. I mean, she had immediately made me know that we weren't close friends when she held my hand so tightly a while agI looked at Enzo again, he looked happy, and he seemed like he wanted to spend time with his mother as wellThen Salvatore, what made him agree to it? Did he see her just to fall in love with her agaiI closed my eyes before opening them again“Okay,” I smiled sweetly before stepping back into the caI wasn't okay, not for a bit. I hated that the Chloe of a girl wanted to stay with us. She had these negative vibes I didn't want to be witWhat did she use to blackmail Salvatore? I could see that he wasn't pleased with the situat
Salvatore's POV“Sofia, come on, open up!” I was trying to contain the rage in my heart. I didn't know it would come to this, I would have tried as best as I could to answer her questions the moment she asked me about them. “Looks like your girlfriend's mad at you” Chloe came to stand beside me as I stood next to Sofia's door waiting for her to come open up the door. “What do you want now? Where is Enzo?” I asked and she giggled, “Calm down Salvatore, Enzo is sleeping, and I only came to remind you that Enzo's room is not so far from here, so don't knock too hard” “Fuck you!” I gnashed my teeth at her.“I'll like to see you try. I mean I've missed it” she winked at me making me clench my fist and directed it quickly to her face. “Salvatore!” Eduardo called from the stairs. He had stopped me at the very last minute, I was about to land a heavy punch on her face. “I wonder what Enzo will say if he sees that his father wants to hurt his mom” “I might just kill you myself before th
Sofia's POVA knock on the door woke me up. I slowly sat up on the bed.*Knock knock*I quickly wore my slippers before making it to the door and opening it. I thought it was Enzo. He is always the one to come wake me up every morning, especially when Salvatore doesn't have the heart to.I frowned deeply when I saw who it was, Salvatore. I was about to close the door on his face when he used his hand to hold it steady, stopping me from closing the door.I rolled my eyes at him, before making my way to my bed, ignoring him.“Good morning angel,” he greeted, but I ignored him. I know I'm behaving like a child right now, but I do not care. Laying down on the bed, I covered myself up to my face with the duvet before pretending to sleep off “Come on, Sofia. Speak to me” I closed my eyes tightly. I didn't want to cry, but his voice, his presence, they were practically breaking my heart and I just cannot help but feel helpless, useless, and hopeless. “Sofia, speak to me, baby,” he said a
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
