Sofia's POVThe minute I got back into the room, I fell on the bed crying. I knew right from the beginning that it was a terrible idea to follow Enzo, I just never expected that Salvatore would still see me that way, until now. I didn't do anything when I even got to his office. All I did was stare around.I know how it works here in the mafia world, like Alessandro, there have a lot of secrets they do not want anyone to know about, so why can't he believe me when I told him that I didn't do anything besides follow Enzo here?Remembering how he pulled me out of his office with his firm grip, my heart breaks. I promise, I only followed Enzo there. I didn't know how many minutes or hours I had laid on the bed carrying, but I heard the sound of my door, opening. I raised my head to see who it was, I sniffed.The moment I noticed that it was Salvatore, I was quick to stand on my feet,“Salvatore” his name came out quickly from my lips and I saw him scoff. He was still dressed in the out
Sofia's POV “Nana?” I called as I saw her step in with a wide smile on her face. I was quick to rush towards her.“Hello, my dear,” She said to me as she hugged me firmly“Nana…” and that minute, as if a dam broke, I burst into tears. Nana's hold on me righted as she caressed my back,“Shiiiiii” she kept coaxing me. “Let's sit first, then you can tell me all that happened,” she said, and I nodded. The moment I sat down on the bed, I began to explain to her all that happened. I didn't do anything wrong, and I wanted someone to hear me out. I was glad that Nana had come just in time because I really needed an ear.“I swear Nana, I'll never do something that would hurt him, not when he is helping me here” Nana kept nodding at me, and I sighed, knowing that she believed me. Nana understands me better because she has known me for a long time now. Alessandro was bad to me, yet I didn't do anything that would cause him harm and talk more of my savior and my helper. I will never cause Sal
Salvatore's POVI had hardly slept as I continued to wonder what Sofia had done to make me do all that I did for her. Not only did I take her in without proper investigation, but I had also stupidly believed her lies without seeing through them.She has the face of an innocent little girl who had never seen evil in her life. Her eyes want to make me protect her, like the way I protect Enzo. She has that beautiful face that makes me would like to keep her safe, yet she was lying, she was lying to me and that surprises me. Because I could tell when someone was lying to me, but I can't happen to tell if she is, she is so good at hiding it that I wonder who she learned it from. The person must be so good.Looking up at the time, it was 5 am already, there was no need to try to sleep. I got up and headed to the bathroom, took my bath, and dressed up before heading to my office.Entering the office, I remembered all that happened there. Enzo would not lie to me, but why then….I began to lo
Sofia's POVI lay on the bed like a dead fish, there was nothing else to do. I had looked through all the clothes in the walk-in closet, taken my bath, and washed my hair. I had eaten, twice. That's one thing I noticed, they kept bringing food to me like I was starving. I've eaten twice just this morning.After Salvatore left, I fell right back on the bed and slept off again. I knew it was because I had slept late because of Nana. It was just in twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door and food was brought to me. I ate before going to take my bath, since I was no longer sleepy. After bathing, another round of food was brought to me and I wondered why, but still ate it. The food was too good for me to resist.After eating, I decided to do what would keep me busy. I have been doing all that, and now I am jobless and bored. I am not a fan of movies, else I would have watched a movie, but I don't think so.I lay on the bed as I began to wonder if I should ask Salvatore to get me a w
Sofia's POVTurning slowly in fear to see what it was that Enzo was showing me, I saw nothing. There was no one there, nothing scary there, and there was no reason to scream either.“Enzo?” I drawled in annoyance, and he said,“Look, the time” I snapped my head to look at the wall clock and I frowned,“Yes Enzo, it's 2:15 pm” “That's the problem,” he said to me as he came down from the bed, and I raised my brow.Just as I was about to ask what the problem was, the two guards beside my door barged in with stiff faces and their hands on their backs. I knew they were ready to take out the gun and shoot if in case there was trouble.“What's the noise?” One of them asked.“I screamed”“And why did you scream?” He asked again and Enzo replied, “I wanted to. Can you leave now?” Enzo asked and I raised my brow. He acted so bravely in front of them.They looked around the room with their eyes before making their way into my bathroom and closet and finally coming out“Be good” I heard them s
Salvatore's POV“What did Mr. Niko say about the deal? Is he in?” I asked Eduardo as we made our way into the house.“Is there anyone that wouldn't want to have a profitable deal with you?” He asked back and I let out a chuckle. “He sure is in, and it didn't take a lot of convincing for him to agree” I raised my brows at Eduardo's words and he explained,“He said he's been waiting for it” and I nodded with amusement dancing in my eyes. Mr. Niko is a wealthy and powerful man in California. He is known for his power, which makes him seek more power. Working with me means my name is now among his allies, which was good for business for the both of us.As we made our way in, I said to Eduardo,“I'll change first” and he gave me a nod. Today, we planned on going to see someone of the finished work by the men I had assigned to carry out some duty. Eduardo was the first to head upstairs and soon halted in his steps. Before I could speak, he did, “What are you doing there, Enzo?” He aske
Sofia's POV“Heaven's me” I signed in relief the moment Salvatore left my room. Why did Enzo have to lie about his father giving him permission? What if we get caught?I shook my head as I fell down on the bed. That boy had caused me to lose a lot of blood tonight. I was so scared of getting caught by Salvatore, there's nothing that can escape a mafia's eyes. I am so sure Salvatore just didn't want to press the issue any more else, the truth would have been out.I glanced at my bed before pushing myself up after what felt like forever. I made my way to the bathroom to take a cool bath. I should thank the guards later for not telling on us.It was in the bathroom, my stomach protested in hunger. I've not eaten since this afternoon, I wonder if there would be food tonight for me. I wrapped a large towel around my chest before picking another clean my wet hair.The minute I walked out of the bathroom, I came face to face with Salvatore and sucked in my breath sharply. He was still dress
Salvatore's POV The meeting had gone incredibly well even without the documents, but my mood hasn't changed one bit. I had my face looking out the window as I continued to wonder why Sofia would steal from me. If not her, then who?Eduardo sat in the right passenger's seat while I sat at the back, the driver drove up home in total silence. Remembering how she had claimed she didn't steal anything, I couldn't find any atom of guilt or deceit in her eyes. What is this girl up to?The car rolled into the spacious compound and stopped. I came out before any of them before making my way into the house in anger. Eduardo followed behind, I could tell that he was worried about the documents as well.The moment I entered the office, I heard him say,“I am very sure we didn't give the documents to anyone, and you had taken it from the car that day. Who must have taken it?” His question made my teeth clench as I could only think of one person.“I hate to say this, but who else would dare come
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
