AND THUS IT BEGAN

CHAPTER 26

Marco:

Slowly Marco stirred from his sleep as a result of the sun that kept peeking in through the window he had obviously forgotten to shut after their rendezvous last night.

Speaking of last night, he had no idea how he waited so longer before finding this woman and putting a damn ring on her pretty finger, but then again it wouldn't have felt so good now that he finally did it.

After she had dropped the bombshell on him yesterday on the plane he had felt so much happiness that words could never comprehend, in that moment he had brought out the ring he had purchased and instantly engaged and married her right there on the jet with his men, his brother and his daughter and niece as witness.

Everyone had been so excited for them that the party only ended early this morning and only because they had quite a lot doing for the day.

Speaking of the day, it was His wife's Memorial day according to her mother and although no one knows that she's still alive they planned on given them a show they would live to tell the tale of, he never forgot the debt the Maliz matriarch and her fake heir owed him. And God willing he hoped Catherina would permit him to collect that debt today.

He was about leaving the bed when he heard his door slowly begin to open as though someone was trying to sneak in, he doesn't remember leaving the door unlocked but he sure as hell had no plans of debating with his mind, swiftly he had pulled out his gun from under his pillow and kept it firmly on his chest before sliding out of his bed and slowly walking to the door.

On getting there he swung the door open and stretched his gun only to look down when he heard a thud, before him was Sophie who had fallen as a result of the speed he used in opening the door.

"Shit, shit, shit, Soph are you okay? Did I hurt you? Are you Aching anywhere?, fuck I'm sorry baby, I didn't know you were the one there"

He kept rambling and rambling till Sophie looked up and smirked.

Oh come on

He started grumbling cause he knew one of two ways this would end, she would blackmail him into what she wanted or full on start crying till she woke her mother who would in turn give him the ear full he couldn't stand so early in the morning.

"Papa, first off you said a lot of bad words, secondly you made me fall, thirdly you raised your gun, I don't know how this would work Dad"
She said, sounding so innocent and non chalant That Marco almost believed her, that was of course till he remembered the first time he met his manipulative daughter and how she had blackmailed him into giving her four thousand dollars, now that he thought about it, it now seemed like a long time ago and he now wondered what she had done with the money, did she get scolded cause he could imagine Catherina loosing her shit back then, why had she even accepted money from a stranger back then?

With all that question he figured he could turn the tables on her so he went back to the bedroom quietly and picked up his wallet and wore a polo to cover his torso then he kissed his still sleeping wife and went back to Sophie whose smirked deepened when she saw his wallet. Evil spawn.

Soon they arrived the s
Kitchen where he placed her on the kitchen island and then took a sit across from her and without wasting both their time he pulled out four thousand dollars and handed it to her, he knew she had this gigantic piggy bank so he wasn't worried about helping her with more cash to save even if it wasn't necessary.

"You get two thousand more if you can answer my question honestly Baby."
He bargained cause money was The only way to get through to Sophie without getting snitched on.

"Cosa vuoi sapere papà?"
(What do you want to know dad?)

"The first time I saw you in the Mall, why did you accept money from me?"

This wasn't supposed to be a conversation and he believed that Sophie was always a really good kid, he just needed to make sure that she never did something like that ever again, that could have been someone else and he had lived long enough in this world to know that it could have ended in much worse ways than just willingly handing her a ward of cash.

"We went to the mall to buy gifts for our parents but I got lost, mommy says that if I don't know where I am no matter where it is in this world I must always remember her number and my house address but most importantly I must always call her as soon as I see a phone, that day I saw a miss with a phone but she said I must have money to pay for a call, I didn't have any and I saw you sitting there so I came to you"

He guessed he knew the rest from that point on.

"Did mommy scold you?"
He asked already imagining the event.

"Yes she did and she didn't talk to me that day"
She replied and he watched as her lips began to wobble, he knew how much she hated being given the silent treatment by either of them in the house.

"It's okay baby but next time don't blackmail people into doing your bidding, if you want something you must work very hard to make it yours, if you don't get it then it was never meant to be yours in the first place and that is also okay my love.

You won't always get the things you wish for, that doesn't mean that you don't deserve it but it just means that it was never meant to be yours in the first place."

"Mi dispiace papà"
(I'm sorry papa)
She replied and clung to him , hugging him real tight.

"Ti amo mia ereditiera"
(I love you my heiress)

"Ti amo anche papà"
(I love you too papa)

"But I'm still taking that money though"
She mumbled before falling asleep. Earning a smile from Marco before he concluded that She has mafia blood flowing in her through and through.
