Sofia's POVEven though I tried not to think about it, I just couldn't stop my mind from going back and forth. I hated that Salvatore would suspect me. I know it isn't easy for a mafia to trust a person, but I was really innocent, I didn't do anything. I didn't steal anything.After taking my bath and dressing up, I made my way to the window to stare out and appreciate nature. Since I wasn't allowed to go out, I can as well do it indoors from here.When I heard the knock on the door, my already pounding heartbeat increased. I couldn't breathe properly, and my throat dried up instantly. When I opened the door and saw Eduardo also, it was over. I could tell since I came into this mansion that he never liked me. But the moment I heard him say that he didn't think I was the one who had stolen the documents, my head flew up to look at him.Was this God sending me a helper?“Why?” Salvatore asked and surprisingly tag was the same question in my mind, why? Why did he not believe that I coul
Salvatore's POVSoon, I had Sofia come down for dinner. If the CCTV camera was to be placed in hidden corners of her room, she can't be there. The best way to distract her is to have her come down for dinner.Looking at her and Enzo, I can't tell who's happier about being downstairs. Enzo has the liberty to come downstairs anytime he likes, but it was like freeing Sofia was freeing him as well. Since they both sat down to eat, they have been talking to each other, ignoring my presence as if I'm not there with them. Enzo kept speaking like, I don't think I have seen him speak that much and have been this happy before.“Today's episode was even more interesting than yesterday's own. I wonder why it ended there, I almost screamed at the TV” Sofia said with a giggle while Enzo laughed out loud too.“I told you the cartoon is very interesting" he licked his lips while Sofia served more food for him.The way she acted towards him, I could only describe her as a caring mother to her child.
Salvatore's POVThe looks on Eduardo's face had already told me that indeed there was a problem. I looked at the two bundles of joy in front of me and I sighed, I wish I could postpone whatsoever it is that's wrong now.Sofia and Enzo turned in my direction when they saw me stand. I wasn't done with my food, but for Eduardo to come even when he saw me eating, it must be a serious issue.“You both go to bed when you're done eating. See you tomorrow” I said to them.Enzo wanted to nod but paused before he looked up at me, “Father?” “Hm Enzo” “Can Sofia tell me a bedtime story since you won't be available together?” He asked with puppy eyes. He was trying his luck, he waited for my reply, and I wonder what made him always try when I always give him a negative response.“Okay,” I said and turned to leave, but I could hear the excitement from behind. A small smile appeared on my lips. I made my way to the office with Eduardo behind me. I sat on the chair and asked,“What is it?” And Ed
Salvatore's POVAlthough I had asked Matteo to explain to me what the issue might be. He remained mute, with his head down. I could easily ask someone else, but wasn't he supposed to act like the leader that he was? He was the one in charge of Catania's dealings, he should shoulder his responsibilities.“Matteo, aren't you going to speak?” I asked, trying to control myself before I blast his head off.“Don, the…” he stuttered, making me arch my brow. Was it that hard to say?“Matteo…?” I drawled and saw him trembling. I could see the sweat trickling down his forehead as he explained again.“Don, the shipment movement earlier didn't go as planned” I squinted my eyes at him“What do you mean?” I asked with my eyes staring squarely at him.“Someone…, someone, someone seized it, Don” “Someone seized it” I repeated before letting out a deep chuckle.“Someone seized my Shipment here in Sicily. Matteo, can you hear yourself?” I asked and saw him with his head bowed, he nodded. “Who dares?”
Salvatore's POV“I want it done as soon as possible. Don't mess it up” I ordered before dropping the black device in my ear down on the table.With a sigh, I stood up from the chair to stretch my legs and muscles for a while. I have been here in the office since morning having meetings over the phone with some of my subordinates.These men hardly know what to do, or else I tell them. I have been giving instructions since morning. As I stared out the window, Sofia filled my thoughts again. What I have read in that paper has been on my mind for the past two days now.What's even more suspicious was that Eduardo is finding it hard to get information about her. Who is she?Just one time I decided to bring someone into my house without investigating. Who sent that letter? Who else knows that Sofia is in my mansion? She hasn't gone out since she came in, so how did…I sighed before walking back to my chair, it was useless trying to think about that now. I need to know whose woman I have in
Chapter 34 Sofia's POV I watched as Salvatore picked Enzo up and kissed him like the loving father that he was. The smile on his face was breathtaking, I noticed his eyes sparkle when Enzo kissed his cheeks, and it made me smile. The resemblance between father and son was more evident when they are smiling or laughing. They both managed to look good. I began walking towards them to say hello, Salvatore looked at me and I felt my breath hitched in my throat. His gaze made me gulp and flushed also. I turned my eyes away from his intense ones. The minute I looked up at him again, I saw him squeezing his left palm with a deep frown on his face. Totally different from the expression I had seen earlier. What had caused his mood to change all of a sudden? “Sofia!” Enzo called, and I smiled brightly at them both. Salvatore smiled back at me, making me arch my brows, were my eyes seeing things? His smile wasn't like the first one, it looked forced. Did someone say something to annoy hi
Salvatore's POV“Sofia is Alessandro's wife” “What…?” I asked as I stood to my feet, with my eyes narrowed at Eduardo. He can't be serious, Sofia can't be…“Sofia is the missing wife Alessandro had been searching for all these while” “Shit!” I murmured under my breath. It all makes sense. Eduardo quickly passes me the documents where all about Sofia was kept. I took the document very quickly and began to read through it. This is a disaster, so it better not be true, but the more I read through, the more I could clearly see that Sofia was indeed Alessandro's wife. “How come?” I asked a very foolish question, but didn't wait for Eduardo to reply,“She looks so innocent and kind. Yet, she is married to that imbecile?” “She must have been sent by Alessandro to watch your moves. I don't doubt that she was sent” Eduardo explained, and it all just made sense to me.First, she had hidden in the boot of my car without getting caught, how's that even possible, or else Alessandro planted h
Sofia's POV“Sofia!” I heard a call from my sleep, I blinked my sleepy eyes open before staring at the door. I do not need a soothsayer to tell me that it was the tiny little Enzo who had decided to disturb my beauty sleep. With a smile on my face, I came down from the bed and went to get the door.The moment I opened the door, he stepped in with a wide smile on his face, “Good morning…” he sang out and I giggled, “Good morning, Enzo. Didn't you sleep?” I asked when I saw him already dressed up for the day. He jumped on my already scattered bed,“Yes, I did. I woke up two hours ago” and I gasped,“What time is it?” I asked him, and he pointed at my wall clock. It was 9:30 am, and my eyes widened, “Why did I wake up so late?” I asked no one in particular as I tried to get myself ready for the day.“I was also thinking why because we have to prepare for Father's surprise today, remember?” Again I gasped as Enzo reminded me of the most important thing we have to do today. “I'll go
