Sofia pov~ On the ride back to Matteo's house,I rested my head on the headrest and closed my eyes. I kept thinking of my parents and how I didn't bid them goodbye, I just ran out of the house overwhelmed without hugging either of them. I missed them already, all of them. I didn't want to go with Matteo but I had not choice, he threatened my parents. I groaned thinking of that. I could see the way Whitney's and Nora's eyes lit up with excitement when they saw me. I didn't know when I would see them again. The girls wanted to know what the details of my alleged kidnap so I spilled everything except the fact that Matteo had slapped me. As much as I hated him, I didn't want them to kill my child's father out of anger. I was beginning to get a headache from this constant thinking and remembrance. I groaned again loudly this time while I rubbed my temple trying to suppress the headache. "Is anything wrong?" Matteo's voice startled me, I forgot he was sti
SOFIA POV~ TWO~ MONTHS~LATER Four months, four whole freaking months I've stayed with Matteo. I had known and lived with this messed up man for four months. These two months spent in this mansion with Matteo was... Eventful?. These two months, we've only had argument, disagreement, silent treatment, yelling at each other and what not. The months were not that bad because I made a new friend, Melissa. We had been close ever since that incident happened, she was my only friend in this prison they called home. She was with me most of the day, we would chat and I would tell her how I really wanted to leave this place and she would apologize for not having any solution to my problems. She was really a nice person, she told me she had been working here six years, I was surprised because she was only twenty eighty years but according to her, she really enjoyed working here though her boss could be extra strict at times and I totally agreed with her, Matteo
Sofia's POV~I was quickly pulled into the car by Matteo, he looked confused by the situation."Matteo what's going on, who are these people?" I asked in panic. He didn't reply but instead he hurriedly dialed someone on his phone while the shoot out continued as people were panicking and running for their lives. "santi siamo stati aggrediti in ospedale, cosa sta succedendo?" Matteo said authoritatively in Italian, I had no idea what he said and who he was talking to.{Santi we're being attacked at the hospital, what's going on?}"CHE CAZZO VUOI CHE HANNO TROVATO LA NOSTRA POSIZIONE ATTUALE !!!" He yelled angrily at the other person while pulling his hair. I just looked at him in confusion and fear, I wondered what was going on. It seemed our car was bulletproofed because despite the safe place the driver tried to hide in, the car was still being shot at but the bullet didn't penetrate.{WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY FOUND OUR CURRENT LOCATION!!!}."Rispedisci immediatamente!" he sa
Matteo's POV~Seeing Sofia in that condition made me want to kill myself. I wondered why I thought it was a good idea to bring her into my fucked up life.All these were my fault, everything that happened in her life was my fault.Everything leading to Sofia's current state started from that dumbass attack at the hospital. It was confirmed that the anonymous mafia gang finally tracked me at the hospital and decided it was the perfect time to have a shoot out. So many lives were lost and most of them were just patient's visitors and staffs at the hospital.After making sure the situation was handled I decided to go my company and check things out. I immediately instructed Santi to come to New York.After settling few of the chaos at the company, it was 11pm and I couldn't go to the house like that so I hit up Santi to meet me at the club.As soon as I got there I was served strong alcohol at the VIP section. After one and half bottle of hapsburg gold label, I was extremely drunk
Sofia's pov~I woke up feeling tired and weak, I realized I wasn't at the guest room but at Matteo's room. I jolted up ready to leave but was stopped when Matteo entered the room."You really should calm down, I'm not going to bite" he said chuckling, still standing at the door with his hands in his pants pocket while he slightly rested on the door.I tried standing up but hissed and sat back immediately, I forgot about spraining my ankle. I decided not to give any reply to Matteo because I wasn't in the mood.I laid back a little quickly and regretted it as my back hurt as well."Fuck" I mumbled shutting my eyes tight in pain as I rubbed on my back to relieve the pain."Are you hungry?" Matteo said in a monotone voice."Yes" I mumbled."Melissa will bring your lunch here" he said and started walking towards me with his hands still in his pants pocket. I felt a little scared because what if he planned on finishing what he started yesterday and now my back and ankle hurt.He sat next t
Matteo's pov~ I stormed out the room furiously and punched the wall. Why do we always end up here. All I wanted was to go apologize for my behavior towards her as soon as she woke up but ended up leaving her in tears and leaving the room. Aagghh.... I needed a drink to cool down. On my way to my home office, I sighted Santi coming in my direction, I guess he was going to my room. “Hey man” he said as soon as we met each other. The look on his face instantly turned to a curious one when he saw me. “What are you doing here?” I asked as we both started walking to my office. “I came to speak to you about something important”. “But before that why'd you have that look on your face? You look like someone just busted you balls” he said laughing at his own joke when we entered the office but I only glared at him and sat down. “It's Sofia... We had an argument and I said horrible things to her... Ugghh... What's wrong with me?” I said slamming my fist in the desk.
Matteo pov~ I paled at the sight in front of me. Still in my trance, I heard Melissa crying and Santi cussing out as we came into the bathroom. Sofia's body was in the bathtub filled with water that was now red because of her blood. Her face and hair was drenched with water but was obviously brought out of the as she laid there unconscious. I recovered from my trance and rushed to her side. I lifted her cold body out of the tub and laid her on me. “So..Sofia wake up, what did you do? Please wake up” my voice cracked as I shook her body but nothing happened. At this point I was starting to loose myself. “Melissa what happened? Why is she not waking up?” I started to tremble, my mind thinking of the worst case scenarios. “Sir, she.. she said she wanted to be alone so I left after giving her lunch. I came back to take the tray and dishes but she wasn't in the room so I assumed she was in the bathroom, I knocked on the door but there was no response. I
Matteo's pov~It was now 8:00pm and doctor Sam advised it was better for Sofia to stay the night for supervision. I sent Santi home to go rest while I stayed here though he insisted he stayed with me but I refused. I pushed the thought of Mariella calling me, I'd deal with that later. I couldn't believe she flew all the way to America. I had gone to a nearby restaurant to eat because the hospital food was disgusting. I entered Sofia's current room and saw her sleeping, she still looked pale and tired. Her hand that she had cut had been bandaged. I sat on the chair close to her bed and watched her sleeping form, her baby bump had gotten slightly bigger. I lean back into the chair and closed my eyes.'~~~~~~~'I jolted up due to the sounds in the room. “Im sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was checking on her” a nurse said lowly looking sort of scared. I guess she witnessed my outburst to the other nurses. I nodded and signalled her to continue her
