Salvatore's POVPushing the door open, I stepped in, sensing the tense atmosphere, I could feel it. The air around me was heavy and misty and somehow, I could tell right away that something wasn't right. Darting my eyes around, I fixed them on Sofia who was fiddling with her fingers, another extremely suspicious habit."Salvatore" she whispered when I took a step closer to her, "Is everything okay?" I asked while walking past her, she ran forward, standing in front of me with her arms stretched wide open. " Yes," she nodded, a smile on her face, " Everything is okay" she added, what was making her so nervous? It piqued my interest more and walking in a large stride toward the closet, I stood still when she held my wrist. My eyes strayed to her hand wrapped firmly around my wrist and she pulled away as though she was scalded by something hot. "Sorry," she apologized, biting into her lips, with her gaze averted to the ground.Pushing the closed door open, I placed a foot in, consc
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
Sofia's POVPouting my lips, I plopped on the bed for what felt like the tenth time to me within a minute. Ever since the day Salvatore had walked away from the room after seeing Nana inside the room, I have been confined to the room, not moving an inch. Was I some sort of doll who was dressed beautifully just so it could wait for its owner? I wondered but on a second thought, I sighed. The doll which was dressed beautifully for its owner was better than I was because at least it knew that its owner would come for it one day but mine was different. Salvatore hasn't been here since the day he had seen Nana in here. Nana, I haven't seen her for a while now and I was hoping that she was okay wherever she was. Boom. Boom. Boom. The sound of guns being shot tore through the air again, sending shivers through my body. One would have thought I had gotten used to gunshots but that wasn't the case. Back at Allesandro's, it wasn't this frequent, here, it was as though they took pleasure i
Sofia's POVI watched as Zelda took a step forward, intending to confront Eduardo who still had his hands wrapped around the lady he had walked in with, not showing an act of remorse."How could you?" Her voice broke as she confronted him, she sounded just like a broken disk to me and it was annoying already. "How could you do this to me? I loved you, I gave you my all but instead, this is the way you paid me back, how could you hurt me in such a way?" I took a step back, watching her confront him, wait! Does that mean the person she was here to meet wasn't Salvatore but Eduardo?I raised my gaze, staring in the same direction as Salvatore but quickly withdrew my gaze when our eyes met. The look in his eyes and the way his eyes bore into me, causes me to fidget with my figure.I gulped in my spit, trying to get rid of it but it seemed to be stuck to my head. "Get a hold of yourself or you are going to hurt yourself, what exactly is wrong with you?" Eduardo asked," I thought that I
Salvatore's POV" I have told you countless times Eduardo, about having numerous relationships at the same time, I have given you orders countless times about this but still, you don't listen, what do you take me for, someone who you can do whatever you want to?" I was trying to wrap what had just happened around my head. Everything had happened in a split second, Zelda has been laughing hysterically but never would I have thought she was capable of doing something like this. Eduardo had his head bowed to the ground, averting his gaze and not wanting to meet mine. "I am sorry, I…. I never knew it would come to this" I glanced pitifully at the lone figure that was lying underneath the steps.She had rolled off the stairs before hitting the bottom and I was hoping that it would be nothing serious."Go" I wave a hand at him, dismissing him, he had better things to do. "And make sure she doesn't end up dying" I added, when he scooped the strange lady in his arms. Crimson red blood fi
Sofia's POV"Allesandro please, don't do this to me" I pleaded, running both of my palms together as he walked closer to me with a sharp knife in his hands, one that was dripping with blood."How dare you defy my orders, I told you the last time, didn't I?" He had a smile on his face. One that widened as he took steps closer to me. A malicious grin on his face. "I promise," I pleaded, running down the hallway. Hoping that somehow he would have a change of heart and wouldn't hurt me" I promise not to defy your orders anymore, but please don't kill me, I will do whatever it is that you want me to do" " Help me, someone help me" I pleaded, but just like always, there was no one who would be able to defy his instructions and help me.Everyone turned their faces away, not wanting to take another look at me. Leaving me to my doom. "How many times Sophia, how many times have I warned you against talking with the old women downstairs? You both were talking about killing me, weren't you?"
Salvatore's POVTapping my fingers on the seat beside me, I waited, obviously pissed off at how slow the car was driving."What did you say happened?" I questioned Eduardo while waiting for an answer. The cooling air from the air conditioner was supposed to calm me down but instead, it did more harm than good. My patience was going thin with each minute that passed. "It will be clear soon, it is just a little traffic jam which wouldn't take long"I couldn't get over what he had just from my mind and I was having regrets already about not using the helicopter when I was advised to. It would have made things easier for me."It is moving Don Salvatore and we should get there in the next three minutes" the driver's voice resonated in the car, pulling me from my wide sea of thought.Today was a great day, one that I couldn't wait to see what it holds. The look on my enemies' faces as I showed them how ruthless I could be was entertaining and it was amusing to me already.The luxurious car
Salvatore POVThe look on Allesandro's face made me chuckle, I could feel it just like daggers being thrown at me. If he was going to act so petty, I was going to make sure that there was no way I would back down either, Don Salvatore wasn't one to back down. "He is acting just like a spoiled child whose favorite toy has been taken away" Eduardo mocked, before laughing out loud at Allesandro who had his fist tightened into a ball. "You should learn to take defeat better Allesandro, stop acting so petty, you should know I would do whatever it is to make you fall, I thought we have acknowledged that already?" I questioned, a stern look on my face "And now, let's call the man of the hour, Mr. Allesandro to give his speech" Finally, he withdrew his gaze, walking down the steep stairs leading to the platform. I watched with a disgruntled look as he gave his speech, one that I knew wasn't from his heart. "He is giving a vote of thanks to you," Eduardo said, looking stunned. I nodded a
