Don Salvatore's Obsession

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

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

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.

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

Salvatore PovWas I too harsh? I couldn't stop thinking of how I had treated the old woman unfairly, gazing at the palm which I had wrapped around her neck, I knew that I had been too hard on her when I shouldn't have.I hadn't even given her a moment to defend herself and all that I had done was attack her, sighing deeply with a hand around my waist. I took a last glance at Sofia's room before walking toward one of the guards standing close by. When I walked away from her room, her eyes were misty and I could tell that she was about to cry. It had taken all of me not to caress her cheek gently, attempting to wipe away the tears that seemed to have brimmed in her eyes. Letting out a sigh escape from my lips yet again, I gestured at the guard to come closer. "Yes Don" his body was curved and his head facing the ground. "I want you to get me the woman who had walked out of the room I was in a while ago" I gave him the instruction but the stunned look on his face told me he knew noth
