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
Sofia’s POV“You stupid bitch.”A slap resounded throughout the walls of the room, and I stumbled back to the floor, nearly hitting myself on the nearby wall. A cry tore through my throat as I raised a hand to my defense, knowing what was coming next. Rounds of slaps rained on me, and then a final kick to my guts that threatened to make me lose the dinner I had earlier.“Please, Alessandro. I am sorry.” I sobbed out, still trying to shield myself from him.He was unpredictable. I didn’t know the next time he was going to punch me or kick me like I was a freaking punching bag. I have at least three cuts and five bruises throughout my body from the beatings of this week alone. Yet, the bastard still expected me to conceal them when we were out in public.Alessandro was one of the biggest figures in this town. He was a drug lord, disguised as a businessman who is known throughout the city to be a charitable man that takes out a fat share from his pockets to give out to the needy. He was
Salvatore’s POVThe entire setting of the fundraiser repulsed me. From the lightning in the hall down to the people around that wore fake smiles to fit in with the population at the fundraiser. I didn’t want to come here and as usual, my second in command, Eduardo forced me to attend. I wanted to spend some time with my son today but he insisted I come down here and try to bid on at least one of the items being auctioned for the fundraiser.Most of the people here were dangerous drug lords and mafia dons, such as myself. But we put up a front, and the society saw us as good people. These kinds of events are made every year to renew the way people saw us in the society, which I disliked. I liked being seen as the most evil mafia don in the society and showing it off because that is who I was, not the nice rich guy that wore suits and donated money to charities.I wasn’t ashamed to show my face as the person behind the most dangerous mob in Sicily. “I am going to leave,” I told Eduardo
Sofia’s POVI was overthinking throughout the drive to the destination that fate was going to land me at. I felt suffocated, like the air in the boot was starting to exhaust. The feeling of being in a tight dark part of a moving car made me feel sick. I regretted every second of when I decided to put myself in this situation.Maybe I should have allowed the guard to catch me, and then beg him to not tell Alessandro. I knew it was impossible, because he had pledged his loyalty to him. The idea of being trashed and beaten by him seemed like a dream right now, because it would be better as I would heal, but the thought of slowly suffocating to death in this boot was absolutely terrifying.What if the owners of this car didn’t have a business with the boot, and decided to leave me in here? So many thoughts were meandering in my head, each worse than the one before, making me panic and hyperventilate even more. I was still panicking when the car came to a halt, and puke almost came rushing
Salvatore’s POVI have been in alot of situations like this. This wasn’t the first time an enemy was sending an incredibly perfect looking woman to me to test if I would fall for her so he would start to plan by befall. It has never worked so far, and I wasn’t about to allow it to happen this time.After I checked on Enzo, I headed down to the dungeon using the elevator, because there were way too many stairs and I was feeling stressed. I didn’t want to sleep without getting to the bottom of this, also. When I got down to my dungeon which had materials used for torture so gruesome that it made me feel disturbed sometimes, I creaked the door open.The ambiance of the dungeon was enough to bring out the truth in a lot of people, and it was tested and trusted. The few of them that chose to cover up for someone instead of saving their lives mostly left with a few limbs missing or sometimes even as a corpse. As nice as Eduardo was, he was behind most of the murders here and he doesn’t have
Sofia's POVWith eyes as wide as saucers, I took in the room that I had been given. It was nothing like the one I had in Allesandro's house, this one was bigger and wider and the view was beautiful.Painted green with a huge princess bed neatly made in the middle, I couldn't stop thinking of how lucky I was. When I had been pulled away from the dungeon, nothing had prepared me for this beautiful room that I had been given. Instead, the numerous thoughts running through my head at that moment had caused a cold chill down my spine. Salvatore didn't seem to be a ruthless guy, contrary to the image that he was known all over the city, I could tell he was different, my fingers strayed unconsciously to my lips. The same lips that I had placed gently on his and his stunned reaction had blown me away. Somehow, I knew that I would want to do the same thing if he was close again. Flicking my head to the side, I tried to get rid of the thought in my head but it seemed to be stuck in there.
Salvatore's PovRubbing my forehead gently with my index finger, I sighed deeply. I had searched everywhere for Enzo but he was nowhere to be found, although this rarely happened, there were times when he could be extra mischievous and when that happened, he went missing for hours non-stop. The creaking of the door jolted me out of my daydream and the frown on my face turned into a smile when I saw him on top of Eduardo's shoulder, pouting his lips gently. "Is something wrong?" I stood up from the chair that I was sitting on, taking steps toward them. Stretching out my arms at Enzo, I let him move gently into my arms before dropping him on the table." That's my boy" I patted his shoulders gently, causing him to chuckle gently. I knew that he loved that when I acted like he was an adult already "What is wrong?" I could sense it, the change in Eduardo's mood, he was just like an open paper before me and I could read him properly "Why did you have to do that?" He asked, with a fist
Sofia's POVTaking a last glance at the boy who was still on Eduardo's shoulder, I bit my nails nervously. Could it be that he was Eduardo's son? That must be the only reason why he was this protective of him, aside from that, there was no other reason that I could come up with. Pushing the door to my room open, I let my mind run wild, just thinking of the way he had yelled and glared at me like I was trash, Something that he couldn't wait to get rid of broke me. Staying far away from him and his son would be the best thing to do, I knew what I had to do if I was to stay away from trouble, it was to avoid Eduardo and his son just like they were a plague, that seemed like the only reasonable thing to do. Plopping on the soft princess bed, a moan escaped from my lips at how warm it felt. I could tell by the fragrance that the sheets on them had been newly washed and it was soothing to me. "Why are you not in the dungeon?" Eduardo had asked, with so much hate that I could feel in his
