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
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
Sofia’s POV“You stupid bitch.”A slap resounded throughout the walls of the room, and I stumbled back to the floor, nearly hitting myself on the nearby wall. A cry tore through my throat as I raised a hand to my defense, knowing what was coming next. Rounds of slaps rained on me, and then a final kick to my guts that threatened to make me lose the dinner I had earlier.“Please, Alessandro. I am sorry.” I sobbed out, still trying to shield myself from him.He was unpredictable. I didn’t know the next time he was going to punch me or kick me like I was a freaking punching bag. I have at least three cuts and five bruises throughout my body from the beatings of this week alone. Yet, the bastard still expected me to conceal them when we were out in public.Alessandro was one of the biggest figures in this town. He was a drug lord, disguised as a businessman who is known throughout the city to be a charitable man that takes out a fat share from his pockets to give out to the needy. He was
Salvatore’s POVThe entire setting of the fundraiser repulsed me. From the lightning in the hall down to the people around that wore fake smiles to fit in with the population at the fundraiser. I didn’t want to come here and as usual, my second in command, Eduardo forced me to attend. I wanted to spend some time with my son today but he insisted I come down here and try to bid on at least one of the items being auctioned for the fundraiser.Most of the people here were dangerous drug lords and mafia dons, such as myself. But we put up a front, and the society saw us as good people. These kinds of events are made every year to renew the way people saw us in the society, which I disliked. I liked being seen as the most evil mafia don in the society and showing it off because that is who I was, not the nice rich guy that wore suits and donated money to charities.I wasn’t ashamed to show my face as the person behind the most dangerous mob in Sicily. “I am going to leave,” I told Eduardo
Sofia’s POVI was overthinking throughout the drive to the destination that fate was going to land me at. I felt suffocated, like the air in the boot was starting to exhaust. The feeling of being in a tight dark part of a moving car made me feel sick. I regretted every second of when I decided to put myself in this situation.Maybe I should have allowed the guard to catch me, and then beg him to not tell Alessandro. I knew it was impossible, because he had pledged his loyalty to him. The idea of being trashed and beaten by him seemed like a dream right now, because it would be better as I would heal, but the thought of slowly suffocating to death in this boot was absolutely terrifying.What if the owners of this car didn’t have a business with the boot, and decided to leave me in here? So many thoughts were meandering in my head, each worse than the one before, making me panic and hyperventilate even more. I was still panicking when the car came to a halt, and puke almost came rushing
Salvatore’s POVI have been in alot of situations like this. This wasn’t the first time an enemy was sending an incredibly perfect looking woman to me to test if I would fall for her so he would start to plan by befall. It has never worked so far, and I wasn’t about to allow it to happen this time.After I checked on Enzo, I headed down to the dungeon using the elevator, because there were way too many stairs and I was feeling stressed. I didn’t want to sleep without getting to the bottom of this, also. When I got down to my dungeon which had materials used for torture so gruesome that it made me feel disturbed sometimes, I creaked the door open.The ambiance of the dungeon was enough to bring out the truth in a lot of people, and it was tested and trusted. The few of them that chose to cover up for someone instead of saving their lives mostly left with a few limbs missing or sometimes even as a corpse. As nice as Eduardo was, he was behind most of the murders here and he doesn’t have
Sofia's POVWith eyes as wide as saucers, I took in the room that I had been given. It was nothing like the one I had in Allesandro's house, this one was bigger and wider and the view was beautiful.Painted green with a huge princess bed neatly made in the middle, I couldn't stop thinking of how lucky I was. When I had been pulled away from the dungeon, nothing had prepared me for this beautiful room that I had been given. Instead, the numerous thoughts running through my head at that moment had caused a cold chill down my spine. Salvatore didn't seem to be a ruthless guy, contrary to the image that he was known all over the city, I could tell he was different, my fingers strayed unconsciously to my lips. The same lips that I had placed gently on his and his stunned reaction had blown me away. Somehow, I knew that I would want to do the same thing if he was close again. Flicking my head to the side, I tried to get rid of the thought in my head but it seemed to be stuck in there.
Salvatore's PovRubbing my forehead gently with my index finger, I sighed deeply. I had searched everywhere for Enzo but he was nowhere to be found, although this rarely happened, there were times when he could be extra mischievous and when that happened, he went missing for hours non-stop. The creaking of the door jolted me out of my daydream and the frown on my face turned into a smile when I saw him on top of Eduardo's shoulder, pouting his lips gently. "Is something wrong?" I stood up from the chair that I was sitting on, taking steps toward them. Stretching out my arms at Enzo, I let him move gently into my arms before dropping him on the table." That's my boy" I patted his shoulders gently, causing him to chuckle gently. I knew that he loved that when I acted like he was an adult already "What is wrong?" I could sense it, the change in Eduardo's mood, he was just like an open paper before me and I could read him properly "Why did you have to do that?" He asked, with a fist

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
