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
Sofia's POVI lay on the bed like a dead fish, there was nothing else to do. I had looked through all the clothes in the walk-in closet, taken my bath, and washed my hair. I had eaten, twice. That's one thing I noticed, they kept bringing food to me like I was starving. I've eaten twice just this morning.After Salvatore left, I fell right back on the bed and slept off again. I knew it was because I had slept late because of Nana. It was just in twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door and food was brought to me. I ate before going to take my bath, since I was no longer sleepy. After bathing, another round of food was brought to me and I wondered why, but still ate it. The food was too good for me to resist.After eating, I decided to do what would keep me busy. I have been doing all that, and now I am jobless and bored. I am not a fan of movies, else I would have watched a movie, but I don't think so.I lay on the bed as I began to wonder if I should ask Salvatore to get me a w
Sofia's POVTurning slowly in fear to see what it was that Enzo was showing me, I saw nothing. There was no one there, nothing scary there, and there was no reason to scream either.“Enzo?” I drawled in annoyance, and he said,“Look, the time” I snapped my head to look at the wall clock and I frowned,“Yes Enzo, it's 2:15 pm” “That's the problem,” he said to me as he came down from the bed, and I raised my brow.Just as I was about to ask what the problem was, the two guards beside my door barged in with stiff faces and their hands on their backs. I knew they were ready to take out the gun and shoot if in case there was trouble.“What's the noise?” One of them asked.“I screamed”“And why did you scream?” He asked again and Enzo replied, “I wanted to. Can you leave now?” Enzo asked and I raised my brow. He acted so bravely in front of them.They looked around the room with their eyes before making their way into my bathroom and closet and finally coming out“Be good” I heard them s
