Salvatore's POV“What are you…” I stood there staring at Sofia. The question didn't seem to come out, as I wondered when and why they had done all this. I don't celebrate my birthday, but it wasn't even my birthday.“What's going on?” I asked and Enzo was the one who replied very quickly,“We wanted to surprise you, so we baked a cake and cooked so many dishes. Do you like it?” A wide smile on his face caused me to look around. “You both did all these?” I asked in surprise, “Mimi and Madam Cassie helped too” Enzo added. Sofia, who was already at her feet, stared at her feet like they were the most interesting things to look at the moment. “Do you like it, father?” Enzo asked, and I nodded before placing a kiss on his cheeks, “Yes, I like it” I answered. He giggled excitedly.“I told you father would like it. And you were so scared for nothing” Enzo said to Sofia as he wiggled out of my grip“What should we do first?” He asked as he walked over to the cake. His eyes were on the ca
Sofia's POVI swear to God, my heart is racing like I ran a marathon. I didn't know this would be so difficult, I wouldn't have brought the idea. Maybe a drink and the cutting of the cake would do, I don't know why I brought the idea of adding an appreciation note to it. “Come on Sofia. Don't be scared, Daddy would love it” Enzo said to me, cheering me up. I swallowed before breathing in and out, “Don Salvatore Luca…” I looked at him and quickly regretted it because everything I had rehearsed flew from my head the moment my eyes met his.“Sofia” Enzo called and I blinked multiple times“Huhhhhh, yes. Don Salvatore, I want to thank you…” Oh shit, I can't do this looking at him.Should I stare at his shoes? His forehead, maybe. I decided to look at my fingers instead.“Since that day at the parking slot, you've been my hero and savior. Thank you for saving me and letting me stay, even if that was against your principles. I… I… know I'm not a family, but I feel like with you and Enzo
Sofia's POV“Sal… Salvatore” I quickly stood to my feet, staring at him as he walked over to me. “Is there something I can do for you? Should I take Enzo to bed? Do you want me to turn off the TV?” I asked so many questions at a time, but he pressed his finger on my lips.I gulped down the large lump in my throat as I seized my breath. We stood there staring at each other for what seemed like the longest time ever. I didn't know what was running in his mind and my heart was beating so fast and loud, I'm so sure he could hear it.He opened his mouth to speak, and my eyes landed on those lips I had mistakenly kissed today. Without thinking, I licked my lips,“Sofia…” The rest of the words went lost in my head because I couldn't hear them. My eyes were squarely on those lips as I remembered how I felt when he kissed me with those soft lips of his. Imagining licking and sucking those lips, I bit my lower lip. I had literally felt electricity from my lips down to my toes, and my brain
Sofia's POV I rushed like a crazy little girl to wrap my hands around Salvatore, moving so close that our bodies could literally touch, I kissed him deeper, pulling his neck closer like I wanted to eat him all up. The thought of sucking and nibbling his soft lips was all that filled my senses. My eyes closed, and I moaned in the kiss with my eyes closed. His hand on my lower back stroked me gently, making me sigh. This is heavenly, and I didn't want it to end. One of my hands went up to his hair and I ran my hand through it. Our tongues began to fight for dominance till he won and kissed me till I was breathless. We broke the kiss to catch our breath and that was when I got my brain that flee away back.“What the…” I stared at him as he did the same to me. We were both breathing heavily with our chests heaving up and down.My mouth fell open as I stared at him with regret. What did I just do?When I saw him open his mouth to speak, I quickly rushed into the bathroom and locked the
Salvatore's POV I stood there staring at the bathroom where she had run into, wondering why I did what I did. I wasn't supposed to kiss her. Yes, I had teased her earlier when she kissed my cheeks, but the plan wasn't to dive at her and kiss her like a hungry beast. Looking at the door, I sighed, she must be so scared as hell right now. I took advantage of Sofia, damn!Walking out of the room, I went to my study. There was no way I was going to tell Eduardo this. Kissing the wife of my enemy isn't something to be proud of. When I got into the study, I fell on the chair with my fingers on my temple. What did I just do?Maybe I was just too excited about the surprise they both planned for me. I loved it, I enjoyed every bit of it, and seeing them sing and dance for me, make me happy. Sofia was creeping into that soft spot in my heart meant for only Enzo, my son. That was why, when I saw her so close, I couldn't help but want her. Her scent, her eyes, that tiny waist, and her lips ca

Sofia's POVIt's been three days since the kiss accident. I had locked myself up in my room the next day, hoping Salvatore wouldn't come to find me. I didn't even eat that morning till Enzo came to knock on my door. I had to lie to him that I had been asleep and was only waking up now. Asking about his father, he explained that Salvatore had left for work at 8 am. Making me realize that I have been staying hidden for no reason. So for the past three days, I have been hiding indoors till after 8 am, and then I'll come out after Salvatore has left. Before he comes home, I'm back in my room, so I can say we haven't seen each other for three days straight, not even our shadows. “Come on, Enzo. Your father won't be traveling for long. He said a week, right?” I asked and saw him nod.“Then, why are you crying? Don't you have me to play with you and keep you company? I'll even put you to bed” I stroke his back. He shook his head, “The last time Daddy travelled, he came back with injuries
Salvatore's POVAnd the past three days, my mood has been sour. It was from one problem to another. News had come to me that a small gang had been the one playing with me. I knew these were kids I could just step on, and they'll be destroyed, so I don't see why Eduardo had asked me to hold a meeting. Before me were Eduardo, Diego, Aldo, Giorgio, and Dante. Aldo and Giorgio were the team Red and team Yellow, the former team green leader has been replaced, that's why Dante is sitting before us. Eduardo referred him saying he was good at his job since he started working for us, he is a dedicated-made man. “Fine, so these are new gangs. More like starters?” I asked Diego and he nodded.“They are new gangs but not starters, Don. They know more than they should, so I can't call them starters. I think someone is teaching them all that they know. They are too smart to be starters” and I sighed. I hate Local gangs and I don't even know why I'm being called to not only sit and listen to thei
