Author's POVFrom the backseat where Sofia sat, she could see the choppers in the air unleashing missiles at the junkyard and the military tanks approaching from different directions shot explosives endlessly.It was now she realized the entire place had been surrounded and there was no way Mario and his people would have stood a chance.They didn't have to take their lives but then even if they stood their hide, these explosive attacks would have killed them.Taking their lives was logical but she wasn't mentally prepared to live with the guilt.Now she believed she was responsible for the death of both father and son.Mario was determined to help her out of New York and bring glory to the name of his neglected family but failed in the end.To her, he wasn't a failure but it didn't matter anymore, he's gone, they're all gone."Sofia, talk to me...."

Sofia's POVJames was sincerely trying to help me the entire time and wasn't a pervert who just had his eyes on me.I was blinded by my love for Mr. Pompous and ignored the slightest advance from any man.He must have played his role of an Informant so well to not be noticed by the King of the City."Sir Almond Yuturo will call you now," James told me and I was going to say 'wait' but he already hung the call on me.I took a deep sigh and rubbed my eyes with a line of thought In my head, If James was an informant under the nose or the king, is he also responsible for the funny activities at the office?The virus that I couldn't rid of in the company's security system suddenly vanished overnight and, the infection and fix could only have been done by an internal person who knows the right way in and out.Thinking about it now, James is good with computers from what I hear.My thinking was interrupted by a call from Almond Yuturo saved as 'Master Yuturo' on Mario's phone."Oh Princess,
Sofia's POVThe more I thought about him, the more difficult it was to leave so I simply tuned my mind to remind me of the cheater and the liar he was, ignoring the fact that I was alive because of him.If I hadn't left California with him, there'd be no Mafia Princess to save right now.All credit to him but I gotta go now.My past calls for me.I disabled the footage at the paths I'll take and was about to figure out a way to make him leave the hallway when he suddenly left.He appeared to be heading for his room.Quickly, I took that small window and left.I had my important things stuffed inside a backpack already, knowing there was a chance of never returning to this mansion in my life.And also had to carry my art painting which held good memories of my past.With a pistol tucked behind me, I entered the underground wine cellar to see the tall shelves that held liquors of various brands.Walking between rows of em, I noticed stacked crates around and the arrangement was the beau
Sofia's POVI don't know how long we've been underwater but I was silent throughout the submarine ride.I sobbed internally with my hands wrapped around my body and occasionally, tears would form in my eyes.James has tried to talk to me but seeing my unwillingness to speak, he lets me be.I don't know if to hate him for killing Sonia Quinn.The manner Sonia sounded, she was prepared to kill James on the spot and mocked him regarding the return of the Di Marco Princess.It was still crazy to know Sonia Quinn was meant to be my enemy and not a friend.The Mafia Runner had always been a good person to me and a major factor who helped in my relationship with Mr. Pompous.Oh heaven..... Lily was left without a mother and that was one thing that arched my heart.Makes it more painful now that I understand she was my step-sister the entire time.Sonia Quinn once told me about her past, talked about the man who raped and did all evil to her so she took revenge by stabbing him to death.That
Sofia's POVI was awakened the next morning by the knock on the door and my eyes blinked open to see the environment.Although I spent a long time reflecting on what James had said, I managed to get sleep eventually.Groaning, I stretched my toes and fingers before yawning out, "If that's you, James. Come in"The door wasn't locked so an intruder wouldn't bother to know and make me away of his entry.The door creaked open with a loud noise and James was standing at the entrance.My vision was still blurred but I recognized his frame from a distance."I thought you might be hungry and would like to have breakfast before our journey, Princess " James revealed to me as he stepped into the room and carefully shut the door behind me.I rubbed my eyes to see clearly and saw him clearly, coming with breakfast indeed."What's the time?" I groaned, sitting properly and he dropped the serving tray on a stool just at the side of my bed.I couldn't turn my device on to set an alarm knowing a call
Clancy's POVI paced around at the entrance to the intensive care unit of the hospital and occasionally turned to look through the transparent glass of the room where Sonia was being operated on by the Doctors.This wasn't the first time Sonia survived an injury this bad so I'm not worried about her life knowing she would be mysteriously bouncing on her feet the next day.Sofia was the one I was worried about.My heart is not at rest and I still comprehend what my eyes saw back at the secret exit that is not supposed to be known to her.Sonia had earlier called me to inform me about the discovery of the rat who turns out to be James."If those men are truly connected to the Karts then James is not just foolishly messing with our systems from above. He must be connected to them as well and with his last known location, I think I know where he is headed. Meet me at the at the underground exit 2.0 immediately.... "James? I trusted that son of a b¡tch.He has been working for the McCain
Sofia's POVMy head was hurting and heavy the moment my eyes opened to see the blurry environment.I moaned gently in pain and made to touch my head only to realize my hands were restrained behind me.Not again. I waited a moment for my vision to stabilize and got to see the white walls of the room I was in.I was seated on a metal chair and, had my hands and feet locked to it with chains.Fvck!My head rolled around and I got to see the glass wall behind me with several masked men staring at me from the other end.They were armed with rifles and on the same dress code; Black Biker's outfit and the mask were that of a smiling white skull. Scary... Geez!My neck arched from the strain so I realigned to regular and almost immediately the metal door pushed open and one of the masked men entered the room, and dropped a glass table that was filled with all the raw fruits and vegetables one could ever imagine.Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Strawberries, Blueberries, Peaches, Carrots, Avocados
Clancy's POVIt was difficult sleeping that night as Sofia kept appearing when I closed my eyes.It was impossible to take my mind off her after knowing the truth.Sofia has been lying to me just as I lie to her but was her love for me also a lie?No, it can't. Sofia never gave herself freely to me.She was stubborn at first then began making moves at me.Everything just doesn't make sense.The McCain is responsible for the death of her father even though Sonia was the one who executed it.Sofia had many opportunities to murder Sonia but has been a friend of hers and her daughter.Moreover, I kidnapped Sofia to New York against her wish, she didn't sneak herself into my syndicate.I didn't know how I eventually managed to sleep but the next morning I was awakened by Sonia's call. "Tell me you have something" I yawned and rose to a sitting position in expectation. She sighed and after a moment of silence said, "You didn't sleep well, did you? You still have her in your mind"I nodded
