Sofia's POV"Miss Sofia, are you sure about this? I'm scared I think" Katrina Esposito said to me as I walked down the staircase with my phone on speaker."We only had a few issues to deal with and it's resolved now. Be rest assured, Katrina, as long as I'm here, no one will get to you and your family easily but if you want to quit as the governor, I won't stop you" I came to a halt after saying this and waited for her response.As much as Katrina was important, I won't tie her down."No, that's not what I mean Miss Sofia. I'm just scared for my mother, I really value the seat of the governor and I want to work for you" She said audibly and I sighed before saying, "I spoke to a friend and your mother would be moved to a military hospital here in Tuscany with the best doctors. I own Tuscany so she is safe here. She can stay here after the treatment or I can assign one bodyguard to her""Miss Sofia, you do too much for me. How can I ever repay you?""Your loyalty," My response was sharp
Sofia's POVI was left in a daze and tried to wrap my mind around what Almond Yuturo said.Mario died before my eyes. Him and all of his men.The buzzing noise of my phone caught my attention and I picked up the device to see the incoming call from Almond Yuturo."I'm not sure I heard you well. Can you come again" I stammered after taking the call."Mario Karts called, he is alive and on his way to Italy. He asked to speak with you but I think you needed to know first. You said he was dead, right?" He asked me and my memories flashed back to that night in the junkyard."Mario shot himself in the head. I was there" I told Almond Yuturo while thinking of the possibility of him being alive when he revealed, "Mario said he had indeed shot himself in the head but he survived. The doctor said the bullet partially penetrated his skull and didn't get to his brain"Hearing this, I sighed in relief and laid back on the bed.That makes sense a little. He is so lucky but then, who had taken him t
Sofia's POVI strolled out of the washroom butt naked and molecules of water trailed down my soft skin.My strawberry blonde hair which draped over my shoulders still had the enticing smell of shampoo.In five minutes, I was dressed up and checked my phone to see the missed call from Almond Yuturo.He must have called when I was in the bathroom.The last time we spoke, he said he was bringing Mario to the mansion.Were they here already?I couldn't wait to see Mario and believe with my eyes that he wasn't a ghost.Picking my phone, I made my way out of the room and called Gloria, "Hey Gloria, I'm wondering why you believe in me"I pinched the roof of my nose when I asked this.She didn't respond immediately, "What's the human saying? Blood is thicker than water. I have known both of your parents and have seen the level of their intelligence and knowledge. As their daughter, you'll naturally be a genius"My lips pouted and I scratched my forehead, "You exalt me, Gloria, but I'm nothing
Sofia's POV When I entered the building, I was welcomed by the disco light that painted the room in a kaleidoscope of colors.Laughter and chatter mixed with the pulsating beats of the DJ and the energetic atmosphere embraced my presence.Waoh! This is cool, just like in the movies.I looked around in admiration and a cute smile curved at the corner of my lips.My observation was suddenly interrupted by a grip against my wrist and I turned my head swiftly.My expression was now cold and I grip the gun I was touching inside my purse."Hey, what are you doing standing there? Are you new here?" The person who had tugged my hand was a young woman who could be assumed to be the same age as me.She was dancing happily but when she saw the frown on my face, She apologized " I'm sorry..."Before I could say a word, she had danced away already.Just then I noticed a group of seductively dressed women walk in through the door.There were five of them and they temporarily had their eyes on me b
Sofia's POV The Ferrari 296 GTS arrived at the mansion and I got down with the Shadow Agent who had rushed to open the door for me.Armed soldiers at the entrance approached in their number and peeved a path for me to follow.When I looked around, I noticed armored vehicles and trucks filled with armed persons also arriving.They seem to be surrounding the entire mansion and I couldn't help but glance at the shadow agent who brought me."The Interagent must not be underestimated, Your Highness" He explained and his head was down."Do you think she would be brazen enough to come here? "I inquired and started making my way for the door.The armed soldiers followed us closely from behind but stopped outside the door and assumed different positions.The Shadow Agent stepped inside with me and said, "She got no associate or partner. This woman does everything alone and always succeeds. The Di Marco has never offended her to the best of my knowledge, so I have no idea why she came after yo
Sofia's POV"Your Highness... Your Highness..." I was distracted from my thoughts by the continuous call of Giada and I blinked my eyes to see her standing nervously in front of me."Giada..." I rubbed my eyes and I saw her staring in the direction of my stomach.I looked down and realized I was subconsciously rubbing her stomach."The guests are around, Your Highness"She announced and bowed her head slightly in front of me.I sighed heavily and said, "You should learn to call me by my name. You can clear the table now"She smiled softly and started clearing the dishes from the table."Your English has improved greatly, Giada" My fingers worked on the screen of my phone as I said this with a calm expression."I watched a lot of videos on YouTube, Your Highness. I want to serve you well"My phone buzzed as a message from Gloria entered and I read slowly, 'Doctor Scott is clean'I bit my lower lip, then lifted my head to Giada who was still clearing the dining table, "You're hardworkin
Five Years Later... Clancy's POV"Isn't it strange? It's been five years and there is no news about her""We have to do something and not just sit by. What if she is dead? The Di Marco Queen could be dead but the syndicate knows it could be the end of them so they put someone in place to pretend to be her and keep deceiving everyone""Yes, I agree with you. There has been no news about the actions of the Queen so it's safe to say she died of a sickness or there's a coup in the group. Whatever the heck it is, they don't have a queen""You idiots! Do you know how many times we have tried to invade Italy with our troops but they either get destroyed or captured? The Di Marco is very much at large and cannot be underestimated""Oh fvcking hell, we have been running circles for years. We need to do something before the Di Marco makes the next move""Yes, It's strange that they haven't attacked us yet which confirms that their Queen is no more to control the major resources""What if they
Five Years Later Sofia's POV "Sofia..." I was awakened by the soft taps on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see the slender woman in a flight attendant outfit standing in front of me."We have arrived in New York, Ma'am" Her composure was calm as she announced to me and I looked through the side window to see countless Maybach Exelero parked all over the private airport and bodyguards in black standing beside them.I couldn't help but sigh and collapse back to the seat, "Not again"After regaining myself, I carried my frame down the aisle and came to a halt in front of the elongated jet bridge where my assistant stood ahead."Giada, what's all of this?" I complained, taking careful steps down the staircase until I was standing close to her."Miss Sofia, your uncle asked for this, he wouldn't stop calling me" She explained with a complicated expression and I simply waved my hand."We're not going to fight a war or something. This would only bring unnecessary attention to me. Send th
