Sofia's POV

I wake up unbearably cold so I leap out of bed and put on my teddy bear robe that was twice my size, I brush my teeth and wash y face you know the usual and check the time 5:27. I didn't want to wake Maria but when  peaked over, she wasn't in bed 

"Sofia do you think I've ignored Mason enough, I kinda feel bad now" she sits on the edge of my bed, "I don't know" I shrug and my phone dings again, it was going off all night too 

"someone hasn't been able to sleep" she teases me "don't reply." but Maria had already sent him what I learned was a snap of her and it was captioned 'sleeping with your wife'. 

"No no I need to delete that" I take my phone and run downstairs slightly tripping on my robe repeatedly "how do I delete?" I muttered, i shut my phone off and walked into the kitchen, it was still a little dark so I turned on the light, and there stood a tall man with white-sh hair and pure blue eyes. 

"who are you?" I say lunging for a knife "woah, I'm a friend of your brother, Nikolai" he chuckles with a thick Russian accent "I think your lying, i've never seen you here or ever" my sleeves fall again so I pull them up "your too small for that dude" he laughs at me "and your too old to be saying the word dude and yet here we are" I shot back. "okay feisty but im 17.. you are?"
"16.." I keep my reply short.

Antonio and Enzo walk into the kitchen and start dying of laughter "how are you scared of a girl like Sofia I mean, look at her. her robe goes down to her feet and over her hands " he wheezes, as Antonio laughs harder. I'll show them. one day they'll all fear me. I stab the knife back and jog upstairs nearly tripping once again not paying attention to the message Ares sent.

Time Skip

"So i-" Maria and I had sat down at our normal spot before she was cut off by Ares "why were you with another boy this morning" he flops down front of me, what is going on "don't pretend,  Nikolai is talking all about you and just how 'funny' you are. So you were busy with him and not talking to me? I mean I'm-" he rambles.

"can I talk now" I sigh "I was threatening him to leave but then Antonio and Enzo walked in and made fun of my pj's" I eat a mango slice I packed for lunch, Ares slowly nods his head clearly embarrassed by his jealousy. 

"you talked to me" he smirks, oh no I did.. damn it. I bit my lip "eh I was gonna give up anyway" I mumble. We tell both of them about what happened with Matteo last night. "i'll bring the past events with their Mafia too then" Ares says 

"Mafia!?" I shriek Mason face palms "she was going to find out sooner or later" Ares shrugs "listen bellisima-" I shake my head "no don't speak in Italian lover boy with me" it was working which I didn't like "Do you kill people?" he shakes his head no without making eye contact "eyes up here, now answer"

"I do but only bad people, and the same goes to your brothers" he holds both my hands his warm hands made my heart melt while running a mile.

he moves a strand of my watermelon scented hair, then cups my head in his hands and gently connects his lips with mine before pulling away. "Sofia, i really want to be with you so I'm going to come clean" i hold my pinkey finger out, "no more lies?"
he raised an eyebrow "really? *my smile starts to fade* i mean- yeah" we hook our fingers together. 

After a while of them explaining the truth I felt terrified but I covered it up with a smile "you're whipped" Mason teases Ares with the biggest grin, what does whipped mean? "Shut up, you drool over Maria's every move" Ares comments as Maria blushes. 

I still didn't entirely like the fact i'm dating someone who kills people but he said people like Igor.. I still didn't like it, that means I live among killers too, I would tell Bianca but she wouldn't believe me.

The bell goes off so I stand up rather quickly "Sofia, where are you going we have an assembly the opposite way" Maria furrows her eyebrows, "I just need to go to the bathrooms quickly. uh could you hold my bag" i take it off and hand it to her before rushing away.

How am I supposed to feel safe when I live with killers, I'm dating a killer and i'm most likely now friends with killers Oh and I can't forget how im being hunted down by a killer.. what did i do to deserve this.
