Sofia's POV"Jamme, jamme, 'ncoppa, jamme jàJamme, jamme, 'ncoppa, jamme jàFuniculì, funiculà!Funiculì, funiculà!'Ncoppa, jamme jàFuniculì, funiculà!"My sonorous voice filled the whole kitchen as I sang in Italian and did the dishes at the same time.This was one of my late father's favorite songs.He would spend hours with his friends singing, dancing, and playing guitar to this song around a bonfire.I got to learn due to my constant closeness with him and realized how soothing the song felt on my lips. My hand ran across the surface of the dishes, making sure there was not even the slightest trace of stain on it. This was 5 am that morning and I should still be in bed. I was engrossed in my singing and didn't even realize someone had snuck in and was close to me. "jamme j--" My singing stopped abruptly the moment I felt a hand rubbing over my arms from behind. I was only in red panties and bra alone leaving me almost naked but I didn't care since it was just us in the ho
Sofia's POVI hurried down the staircase with my purse and that was when Gloria received my call, "Your Highness"My heart raced as I demanded, "Did you send that message?"She didn't reply immediately, "What message? What message are you talking about? Your Highness"This made me halt my movement abruptly and I stammered, "The missile system... Pompeii and coordinates""What missile?" When Gloria asked this, I realized she wasn't the sender of such a message.I minimized the call screen and looked at the number that sent the message again.This was when I realized the country code was plus 1 instead of +39.The sender was from the United States and not somewhere in Italy.There were only two people in the United States who had my current contact.One was Carl who is currently in Italy and the other was... Sonia?This wasn't Sonia's line.Would she even help me? She hated me like a plague."Let me call you back, Gloria. Help me look into Pompeii here in Naples. Does our cell tower net
Sofia's POVI was lost in a haze for a moment and all I could hear was the word 'Quadruplets' echoing endlessly in my ears.How exactly is that possible?How can I be carrying four kids? I'm just 21, and still trying to figure out how to raise a child alone but now it's more of a plural... Children.Not two, not three but four kids.My lips trembled and my back collapsed against the wall, feeling faint.Gloria didn't interfere with my outburst of emotion.I could barely see her as the hot tears from my eyes overshadowed my vision and made it blurry.Slowly I slid down until I sat on the bare with my head between my legs.I was in severe pain and there was no one pretty close to share it with.Gloria was an AI who was only built with human emotion.I'm yet to tell Uncle Danny about the pregnancy knowing his reaction could be wild.It is just me, standing at the center point of an ocean without an anchor to hold into.I felt alone... All by myself and it hurts so bad.Getting rid of the
Sofia's POVI was awakened from my sleep by a faint crash noise and my eyes peeped open for a moment."Fvck!" I groaned for a second and made to close my eyes but a realization soon hit me.I was working with my laptop last night and that was all I remembered.Knowing I might have slept off with it, I sprang to a sitting position to see my laptop turned over on the floor."Geez!" I grit between my teeth and made to get down but moan gently because of the pain in my lower abdomen.Why does it hurt that way?After the pain subsided, I picked up my laptop luckily for me, it wasn't broken.I worked through the night to find the location of the caller from North America but the line appears to be untraceable despite the best of my effort.My attention was drawn to the buzzing noise from the stool and I picked up my phone to see a new message from Gloria.There was also a missed call from her five minutes earlier.My brows tensed as I read, 'The line appears unregistered, Sofia. That alone
Warning!!! Chapter contains triggering content. Clancy's POVMy face was covered in blood as I stepped out of the warehouse carrying a thick rod that had blood dripping from its end.No, the blood on me wasn't mine.Bashed someone's head to death with the rod and I felt not even a pinch of emotion about my action.I am back to the man I was since Sofia's absence.After dropping the rod, I pulled out my phone with bloodstained hands and typed on my notepad, 'You should really be careful today. Something bad is targeted at you'The message was for Sofia once I confirmed her life was in danger. I truly hope she listens to me considering her stubbornness sometimes.The Tree syndicate had one solid trump card to murder the Di Marco Queen and I ruined it for them.The missile system in Pompeii was the last weapon they had to target Sofia without traces but their biggest mistake was thinking I was one of them.I would go any length to protect my Senorita and not let them hurt her.Today, I
Sofia's POV"Leonardo Karts... Leonardo is working for the Tree syndicate and on a mission to assassinate you"My ears became heavy and I could hear the fast motion of my heart against my chest. Leonardo?? No way he was an enemy. He acted so nice to me just now and can't possibly be thinking about harming me.I need to leave with my men immediately before he tries to do anything."Send the shadow agents" I whispered in a low tone and made to hang up when she said, "Special agents on route... Keep calm, Your Highness"I took a deep breath and sighed heavily."Breathe..." I faked a smile and turned around to give a signal to the bodyguards with me but Leonardo was already coming in my direction with five of his men in black suit.Just when I opened my mouth to speak, the men with him pulled out pistols and shot my bodyguards who weren't able to react fast.There were just two of them and Leonardo never gave a red flag from the start. My eyeballs enlarged and I could feel my heart wan
Clancy's POV'Casio is dead and you won't be getting money but death. Fvcking demented bastard! ' After sending this message to Leonardo, I paced around aimlessly, trying to contain my anger and murderous intent.My life seems to have gotten into a bigger mess by the news of Sofia's death.I knew there was no purpose for my existence anymore but I won't rest until Leonardo was six feet under.I don't care if that means traveling to Italy which could be dangerous considering I was a threat to the Di Marco syndicate.Suddenly Casio's phone started ringing and my brows furrowed on seeing it was a call from Leonardo.That son of a bítch dares call me. Such audacity.With heavy breathing, I took the call and just when I made to speak, my eyes noticed shadows appearing at the entrance of the Casino room.Masked men armed with rifles flooded into the room from the darkness and opened fire at me."Sh¡t!" I grit my teeth and stumble low, using the snooker table as cover.Bullets pierced into
Sofia's POV I rolled out of bed and slammed silent the ringing alarm before moving to the window where I pulled up the blinds."Cool morning" After yawning out loud, I dragged my feet back to the bed and touched the noticeable protrusion on my story.Since I wasn't wearing a shirt, it was easy to see and examine. The previous day was a rough one and I can't get my mind off the narrow escape.I had slept off after a conversation with little Lily and my head feels so light now. "Let's start with something..." I picked up my phone to contact Gloria only to notice I had a missed call from her and one text message, then another text message from an unknown number with the country code +34.I can easily guess who it was.The same person who has been giving me a heads-up lately.It was because of his message I took a pistol and was able to buy time until my military support arrived.Only if he revealed himself to me instead of playing anonymously. I checked Gloria's message first and it r
