Sofia's POVOn our way, I kept smiling as I thought of Enzo's reaction. He would be so happy to see his father back, he has hoped and cried too much. Salvatore came down, and I followed when I noticed we've gotten to Enzo's school. There, he made a call. “Aren't we going in?” I asked him.“No, they'll come out” he said to me, making me remember that two guards had actually stayed behind this morning when I came to drop Enzo at school. It didn't take long, Enzo was coming out with a straight face. His bag was held by one of the guards, and he walked down like he cared less about anything. A true Salvatore. Not until he saw his father, though. His eyes twinkled, and a wide grin broke out on his face. Before I knew it, Enzo was running down happily. The last time I saw this genuine smile on his face was thebday before his father left for his business, as he called it.Enzo jumped on Salvatore, who was quick to pick him up in his arms. The man must have missed his son so much too beca

Salvatore's POVThe smile had not left my lips even after leaving Enzo's room. As I had thought, the king was me and the maiden was Sofia. She was telling a story that got me thinking, the beautiful maiden was in love with the king.I shook my head as I walked into my office. There are a lot of things I needed to work on now that I was back home. Turning on the computer, I remembered what had happened the day we went on our little trip. We never expected them to be prepared for us. The plan was to go pay them a visit and maybe remind them who the boss is here in Sicily, but those dumb motherfuckers killed four of my men!We had been left stranded in the middle of nowhere. That wasn't the problem, but the fact that there were bullets still in our bodies that needed to be taken out with immediate effect. We had to do the surgeries ourselves, as we know they shouldn't remain in our bodies for so long. Eduardo had advised we continue to move because whoever was doing this was going to

Sofia's POVWe all sat at the back of the car with Enzo. Enzo and I kept talking about what we would do when he gets back from school,“Don't forget to watch P.J. Masks this afternoon by 2 pm. You'll tell me what happens when I get back” I nodded my head as he spoke, “Okay, I'll watch for you” “You didn't watch it yesterday. Do not forget today” his eyes fixed on me like he wanted me to swear I'll watch the movie.“I forgot yesterday. And you know how boring it is watching it alone,” “How will I know what's going on if you're not watching it?” He asked as he crossed his arms on his chest.“For heaven's sake, Enzo, I said I'll watch it” I sighed, and he gave me a firm nod before he went on to the next discussion.Enzo and I kept talking till we got to his school,“Do you want me to come and address your class to remind them that you are the coolest boy ever?” I asked as I winked at him.Enzo chuckled as he came down from the car after me. “No, I'll just tell them the reason why the

Sofia's POV I picked up my spoon, but I had lost all appetite to eat. Remembering Alessandro brought a sour taste to my mouth. Letting out a ruffle cry, I begged, “Help me, Salvatore. I am only safe in your mansion, please don't send me out. I saw Alessandro when I was coming back home yesterday from Enzo's school. He is looking for me, he'll kill me if he finds me” Salvatore's gaze was on me, but he wasn't saying a thing, “Please” I whimpered. “Sofia,” he called before dropping his cutlery as well, “Do you know why I brought you here?” I shook my head and he sighed, “First, I want you to know that I don't like Alessandro” I nodded. He is not even supposed to, they are both with different characters. “I don't like him too” I murmured, and he let out a small chuckle.“And me?” He asked, making me look at him with confusion written all over my face, “Do you like me?” He asked and my eyes widened. I felt my cheek burn and my neck I could suspect was red already.“Do not lie to

Sofia's POV “Sofia!” I gasped as I pushed myself away from the bed and went to open the door, “Alessandro,” “I'll be going away for a few days, remain in this house. If you run away, I have instructed the guards around to waste you, so be careful if you like your life” I gulped and bobbed my head up and down obediently. He pressed his lips on mine with his grip holding on to my chin tightly before he pulls away. “Good girl” he murmured before walking out of the room. With Alessandro, whenever he goes on a mission, I pray he doesn't return, but time and time again, he returns to my displeasure. “Oh, you are praying that I don't return, huh?” He appears again in front of me, gripping my chin tightly, “I'm sorry, please let me go” “Fuck you!” He landed a slap on my cheek and I groaned as I fell to the bed. “You pray I die, right? The day I die, you die! Do you hear me?!?” He asked, but tears only rolled down my cheeks. “You fucking bitch,” another slap landed on my ch
