Salvatore POV"You wouldn't dare do anything like that, Salvatore," Allesandro said, causing me to halt in my space, a smile on my face. "What did you just say?" I asked, wanting to hear what he had said again. I needed him to say the words he had said again because I was ready to unleash hell on him."Why are you so confident that you will be able to know my wife if you see her?" He glanced around, seeing that he was garnering looks from everyone, he bridged the gap between us. "When there is barely a picture of her anywhere? You have some nerves you know, you walk in here, talk trash to me to my face, in my house, and now, you are trying to get me vexed, don't you have any fear, Salvatore?"I scoffed, I was thinking we were done with that already and I didn't want to hear a word of anything he was going to say anymore but who am I to reject an invitation to make ridicule him? I was going to take any little opportunity that presented itself to make a joke of him. Since he was read
Sofia's POVI sat upright, heaving up and down. I have been having the same recurring dream for a while now and seeing Salvatore stabbing me, caused my heart to ache. Was he going to do this? Although I tried to push the thought out of my head, I just couldn't. It seemed to be stuck in my head. "Would Salvatore really do that? Would he stab me just like I have seen in the dream?" I wondered out loud, although I didn't want to believe that, I couldn't get over that feeling of dread that had settled underneath me. I just couldn't. Standing up abruptly from the bed that I was sitting on, I sauntered toward the ensuite toilet, turning on the faucet and splashing water on my face. I looked drained and my face lacked color, being locked in here every day wasn't helping either. The last person who had stepped in after Salvatore had left was the maid who had brought in food and had waited until I was done eating to take the plate back.The guards who stood by the door had nothing to write
Sofia's POVCaressing my aching heart gently, I placed a foot forward when the figure walked past. I wanted earnestly for Enzo to walk past and when he finally did, I stepped out of my hiding place, running after him. "You almost fainted out there, why are you so scared?" He asked, with a glint on his face. I glared at him, not wanting to say another word out of my lips. I couldn't do that, not at this moment. "I wouldn't want to be caught, so can you walk faster?" I glanced around at intervals, still worried that someone might catch up with us. " This is it" he stepped in front of a room, pulling it open. It was as though I was blown into a different world. Unlike most rooms which I knew most kids were used to, Enzo's room was different, painted gray and green, somehow although I have always been of the opinion that those two colors didn't match. Somehow what I was seeing here made me have change of mind. "This is yours?" I asked with my mouth wide agape, " Yes" he answered,
Salvatore's POVI glanced directly at the door which was left open, wondering who must be in there, since Eduardo was with me, there was only one person who was allowed inside my room and that was Enzo. A smile cascaded my face as I thought of him. I have missed him and unlike me, I wasn't able to see him before leaving for the auction today. My eyes strayed to the Auburn gold jewelry in my hands. Somehow, the only person who had come to my mind immediately after I had seen it was Sophia, and although I knew I had done it to show Allesandro that he couldn't get all he wanted, a part of me was eager to see the look on her face when she sees the necklace, that I had gotten for her.Wait! The smile on my face faded as soon as it had come immediately I stepped in. " What are you doing here?" I asked, glaring at her. She fidgeted with her hands, tugging at them for a while before glancing up at me. " I came here with Enzo to get something and…m"" Get my son's name out of your mouth,
Salvatore POVWalking in a large stride toward my office, I stood at the door listening to the conversation between Eduardo and Enzo. "You are all the same, how can you treat her in such a way? She isn't harmful" Suddenly, I could feel my head aching and with a finger, I massaged it gently. Enzo could be a handful at times but he was still the same sweet son I have always known. Pulling the doorknob clockwise, I stepped in, waiting for Enzo to talk but he was silent. Glaring daggers at me, something that I wasn't used to. "I was right Salvatore, you shouldn't have trusted her in the first place," Eduardo said to me immediately after I had stepped in, a smile on his face. I knew he was feeling so happy, that what he had told me was correct, "I guess I shouldn't have" I shrugged, agreeing with him on what he had just said. He was right after all, on calling Sofia a spyHow was I supposed to know that she was one? She looked so innocent and harmless and didn't seem like someone who
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
