"D...don." He stuttered and that only made me more angry than I initially was, I got out my gun immediately and cocked it, giving him warning that I was more than serious and ready to kill Jim at the slightest mistake."Will you talk or I kill you?" I asked."I...I'm sorry don, i.. I'll explain the full details please" He begged as he raised both of his hands in a surrendering expression."Start talking." I yelled."I... Was driving when a car crossed path with ours, and before I could think of turning in the opposite direction, fire was opened at us by the men on bike that rode to where we were." He began, the fear eay still in him, but I cared less, all I wanted to know was how they were able to get to my shipment with less difficulty."I took out the weapons, and gave it to some men who were privileged to still be alive, although most of them had already died from the bullets fired by our rivals, and this men who had attacked us were sent on a mission to assassinate and steal this
Salvatore's POVMore than ever I was curious to know what it is that he had to tell me.Probably it was about my shipment and I needed a better explanation from him."Yes tell me, what is it that you had wanted to say?" I asked adjusting closer to him.He coughed out once more. "Th...the shipment." He stuttered still coughing out."C'mon tell me, what happened to my shipment Eduardo, I don't expect this to happen, I mean I had kept this under your control because I had to deliver it to our biggest Chinese client, but then this happened." I said."I...I'm sorry Don, I never expected this to happen too." He said in a low voice as i took my gaze to Maurice and then back to Eduardo."Tell me, what happened to my shipment, why is that the rivals overpowered your squad, I need a better explanation to this, and moreover we need to get this scumbags that dared try this shit with my shipment." I said. My anger was doubling and I couldn't control it. My shipment was even more important than a
I raised my gaze to who it was that spoke, and the figure was that of Eduardo.He took the opposite seat."What? You know the culprit?" I asked and he gave a nod."So why didn't you tell me that day when we were in the hospital?" I asked."That was because he was right there with us don." Eduardo leaked out as I stared at him in confusion and suspicions."What do you mean by he was there with us? Are you trying to say that he was the one?" I asked and he gave a nod."Exactly don, he is the one, and there's no one other than that bastard, he is the spy, and that is why he was spared." Eduardo said."If you take notice, Maurice had no single injury on him, and everyone else had serious injuries, I know most of my comrades that died after suffering severe injuries, even i was at the point of death till you came to my aid don." Eduardo explained, and to be sincere, his words were making definite sense to me.Now I saw reasons why I should believe him, and suspect Maurice.I sat probably o
Salvatore's POV He took his gaze back at me, his lips shivering, he spoke."That is because the video was edited. in the real video I have in my phone, it shows his face and not mine, Eduardo is the culprit I'm telling you Don." The man said.I turned to Eduardo who had a vexed expression. "Where's his phone Eduardo?" I asked, and he took it out of his pockets."I made sure to cease it from the fool." Eduardo replied."Let's check his phone." I said."Hold on Don, I have one condition to make." Eduardo said."Alright go on." I gave him audience."According to this fool right here, he said he is sure that the video is on his phone, so then if we check and the video is there, then believe all he is saying, but in the case that the video isn't on his phone, then grant me permission to waste his miserable life." Eduardo said."Permission granted." I replied. "Here take, look for your video bastard" He said throwing the phone to the man, as they untied.Maurice began searching the video
Sophia's POV Ever since Chloe stepped foot into the mansion,. everything just turned sore and bad. It was more like she brought alongside an evil curse or something.I couldn't believe this, everything just changed. Even Enzo wasn't that close to me anymore, and whenever we both were together all he ever talked about was his mother, and what she does for him.I was always getting mad, whenever he talks about Chloe, but the fact that he is a child and still innocent made me pretend as though I was okay with him praising his mother in front of me.I was literally just getting jealous and wished Enzo was my son, then I would have more rights over him and tell him the kind of people he should mingle with.But Chloe was his mother, and definitely had all rights in the world to be with her son as long as she is treating him nice. I can't possibly tell Enzo to stay away from his own mother, that wouldn't make sense, and so I was left with having to share both Enzo and Salvatore with Chlo
Sophia's POVIt was Salvatore who had interrupted us. He walked into the room, and for the first time my heart skipped at Seeing him.I could tell that it was as a result of the little fight between us, we hadn't talked for a long time so it was definitely logical for me to feel this way around him."A son of a Mafia cannot be an army or a police right?" He asked with a smirk as he walked into the room fully.I was surprised that he was excited about the fact that his son was exposed to such details at a tender age.I felt like Enzo knowing pride and wanting to overrule everyone at such an age is not right. I mean he is enthusiastic about being a Mafia Don.I sighed out of disbelief. "My son would eventually take my position and no one else, so him wanting to be powerful is okay at this age, he'll be fit to inherit my position as a don." Salvatore spoke so confidently and so relaxed about it.I had wanted to give my own opinion, but then I and Salvatore were not in good terms, so I d
Sophia's POVI slowly nod my head. I was anticipating to hear what it is that he wanted to tell me, I was more than ready to listen to him.He made me sit. "I love you honestly, and I don't think I can ever do a thing to hurt you." He muttered as I stared silently at him."Do you know the reason why Chloe told you that?" He asked and I shook off my head."That was because she knew what would destroy our relationship, she probably guessed that I hadn't told you that from the start and so she thought of telling you now in order to spoil our relationship, and that will create an opportunity for her." He said."If there's something Chloe wanted, then it was for our relationship to get ruined, so I don't think you should give her that opportunity to make her plans work out for her." Salvatore said."But then I need to know why you didn't let me know that it was my husband that broke your marriage, why didn't you open up to me if you truly loved me?" I asked."That was because I didn't care
Sophia's POV My expression turned into horror the moment I saw his face.He glared at me with so much resentments, and hatred, it as though he was going to come after me and my heart beats ran so fast against my rip cage.I moved backwards as I saw him move forward to me with a smirk, and what terrified me the most was the knife he was holding on his hands and the way he stared at me with so much excitement.Alessandro only smiles when he is about to do something horrible, and it was obvious that it was his intentions to do something that'll hurt me.He was holding a knife on his arm, and this was enough to terrify the hell out of me."N...no Alessandro don't do this." I begged."But you're doing something worse." He said with a smirk."Something wrong? I don't understand." I said to him."You want to get married to another man and abandon me Right? Isn't that enough betrayal already?" He asked, staring at the knife as he leaked the blades with his tongue."N...no Alessandro, I am no
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
