Chapitre 21: HER SAVIOUR

THIRD PERSON'S POV

I immediately left miss Lois when he came over. I quickly walked in to the mansion and made my way to the kitchen. I tried my hardest to always avoid him. I was confused. Was I supposed to remain angry and bitter towards him because he was the cause of Zac's death? But on the other hand, Zac willingly gave his life for him.

Zac adored him to that extent. He gave up his life for Luca, not considering the fact that he was leaving me behind and alone. I was supposed to be angry at Zac too, but I couldn't. He gave me a reason to live life again. I had nothing!

My parents were murdered, and I was just a lucky girl, who happened to survive after being raped and seeing her parents brutally killed by her rapist afterwards. I was broken, half dead on the streets, when a guardian angel in form of a man came to my rescue.

Zac was my savior. He rescued me from the possible hazards of the street, he sheltered me, nursed me, put me in a state of comfortability and slowly broke the barricades I had built around my heart, due to the cruelty that was meted out on me by this harsh world.

He became my reason to live. Even if he was into some shady businesses, he was a good man. He became my friend and with time, he made me family. I became a wife to Zachary Adolphus. I loved him, and he loved me genuinely as well. I couldn't ask for a better medicine to heal my wounds. He was all I needed.

I kept on living, hoping for a day we would have a child of our own. He always consoled me and made me believe he was always going to be there for me. My whole world came crashing when he died. He left me with nothing but properties and wealth. Nothing like a son, whom would have been a source of comfort and reminded me that a part of Zac still lived on.

I was still in thoughts when I was interrupted by Luca.

"What is the issue with you Sofiah" He scolded.

"And what is your issue with me, Luca?"

"My issue!!? My issue is that you keeping pushing me away, but you comfortably hug my niece and pour out your heart to her. We've been together here for how long? 2 years? And you've never said as much to me. How do you expect me to feel. I keep trying my possible best to make you happy, because I know that's what Zachary would have wanted. Why do you keep Making things so difficult for me?"

"Don't you dare talk to me about what my beloved husband would have wanted" He froze in shock as I continued "Do you know what my husband would have wanted? He would have wanted to stay far from this dangerous lifestyle and environment. To leave a peaceful life and have children with me and be happy!!"

I turned to the kitchen counter and dropped the tray in my hand on top of it. I held my chest, I was feeling the anger slowly rising. This was the first time I had really told him my mind since I lost Zac. I felt his hand on my arms.

"Don't touch me with those filthy hands of yours" I knew I was crossing the line, but I couldn't help it. His phone began ringing, he probably searched for it in his pocket to answer it, I used that as an opportunity to leave there and get some air.

************************************

"Sofiah! Sofiah!!" I heard him shout my name after a few minutes. He was probably done with his call, and was looking for me to continue our discussion. I wasn't interested any longer. I kept quiet and didn't answer his calls.

I didn't hear his voice again, I thought he would have given up and left. I realized I was wrong, when I heard his voice once again, next to me.

"Sofiah, here you are" he whispered.

"Hmmmm" I replied, not knowing what exactly to say to him

"We would finish up this discussion later, for now, we need to leave"

I turned to him, utterly confused

"Leave where?"

"We need to leave the den, we are going to be under an attack soon. We need to leave Italy as soon as possible"

This was one moment I dreaded the most, but had anticipated and planned for it nonetheless.

"Look Luca...." He cut me off

"No, you look. I wouldn't have this argument with you. It's either you willingly start packing up, or I forcefully make you do"

"Just shut up. I was only trying to let you know that some of the employees are not on duty today and wouldn't get the memo. Please make sure they get the information and stay at their houses till further notice" The creases on his forehead straightened as realization hit him.

"Now excuse me, I have to go pack. How much time do we have?"

"45 minutes" He replied, still looking shocked. I walked away to go do my business, leaving him behind.

I heard a knock on the door of my room. "Come in!!" I yelled, whilst trying to pack my hair up in a pony tail.

"Sofiah, are you ready?" Luca asked.

"Yeah sure" I made for my luggage, but Luca beat me to it, as he swiftly carried it and started walking out of the room, with my protests hanging in my throat.

I was already seated in the chopper, waiting for miss Lois and Oliver to come Luca went to get them. All of a sudden, I heard a voice scream my name. That sounded like Lois. I looked through the closed window trying to know what was going on. I saw nothing but hefty men in suit, lined up in front of the chopper. Shiver ran down my spine, this was war for real, and there was no averting it.

I sat patiently and waited for a few minutes until Luca and Lois came into the chopper, Lois looked like she was looking for someone until her eyes hit me. She jolted in happiness and ran over to where I was seated.

"It's true you're safe" she smiled as she caressed my cheeks. I instinctively held her hands that were on my cheek in a loving manner. I noticed Luca looking at us, but who cares?

"Hey babe, are you okay now? She's fine." Oliver smiled at Lois, and it made me feel a pang in my heart. Some people did care about me for real. Going to the US may not be a bad idea after all.
