"You've reached Sophia Maria, please leave a message after the beep. Ciao!"
Beep
"Sophie, what's going on you bolted out of Italy and hopped a train. What happened? Nikki said something happened to your dad and I'm just concerned call me back."
I had no clue what was going on. Sophia and I were doing so well and then bam! She disappeared.
I couldn't think of why she would leave me like this.
I mean maybe she did call me. My phone has been acting fun.
In Italy, I'd come to find all of my text messages had been deleted and in my call log I only had Romeo's number.He's a creep and I'd never do business with him.
I tried to call Sophia again, but my phone lost signal.
"What the fuck?" I mumbled. My lights turned off and I felt a sharp pain to my head. I fell to the ground only to be yanked up by my collar.
The stranger threw me on my couch and tied my hands and feet.
"W-who are you?" I said weakly.
The light turned on and I saw a tall man towering over me. He had a on a pair of stockings over his head, so I couldn't make out his face.
Even though I couldn't tell who he was, I could tell that he had dreads.
He laughed. "Who am I ?" He sounded crazy and he laughed like a mad man. He had on brass knuckles and his hands were shaking. "You wanna know who I am? I'll tell you who I am."
He punched me and the sting of the metal against my face caused me to cry out in pain.
"I'm surprised she didn't tell you about me. You don't need to know who I am, motherfucker, but please believe I know who you are."
He struck me again.
"You stupid motherfucker. You still haven't put it together have you? " He pulled me up by my collar again. "I'm the father of those babies! Me! Not you. And you certainly wasn't gonna take my baby girl from me..."
Another blow to my head.
"You thought I was just going to ease up and let you play daddy. You thought I was going to let you play family man? With my kids?" Another hit. "My girl?!"
The blood was dripping heavily from my mouth. I couldn't even speak.
"Did you know you were fucking with a sociopath like me? You know... I was going to let this shit slide. I figured that if I couldn't make her happy, that I could let you do it ol' boy. I figured, but I couldn't stay away from her."
He shuffled around my apartment.
"Nah... I couldn't. You see I've been watching you two and for a while you had my blessing. Up until I saw something I didn't want to see and I heard some shit that I most definitely didn't want to hear. You remember what you said to my girl, 'fore you fucked her?"
"I... I said I'd take care of her."
"Yeah. You said you'd take care of her even if it meant that you had to be a father to the twins." He started to punch me with every word he said.
"Those...are MY... kids! " I screamed in pain.
"You wanted to play daddy with my babies, my girl. And you didn't think that I'd do anything about it? Nooo... ha! No fucking way. She doesn't even want anything to do with you no anyways. She thinks you set her up."
"What?... what are you saying?"
"I'm saying I framed you ol boy. I planted text messages on your phone and she saw them. She thinks you were trying to kill her. So now she wants you taken out."
"You evil motherfucker!"
"Oh wow, you got heart nigga? You bold ain't you? Relax. I ain't gone kill you... I still have use for you. I'm going to tell her not to kill you, but she gone come for your title. I can't stop her from trying to take everything you got."
"Fuck you you fucking swine!"
"You fucked yourself when you put your hands on another man's property." He turned away and started to leave but then he turned back towards me.
"Oh and just in case you want to tell Sophia about me coming here just know that if she ever does find out about this I will come back and I will murder you you got me?"
He laughed again. "I'm just going to leave you here."
He'd made Sophia hate me and I couldn't do anything. I didn't know who this guy was. I couldn't send anyone after him. I couldn't do anything.
I'd figure out who he was eventually.
In due time.

Sophia's POV
"Baby, Abel where are you taking me?" Abel had his hands over my eyes.
"It's a surprised Sophie baby."
"Tell me what it is."
"Alright open your eyes." He moved his hands and I opened my eyes.
"Abel... oh my goodness! You bought a house?"
"I bought us a house. Not that I don't like staying with your day, but the kids are coming any day now and I just want to make sure that they have their own space."
"Oh Abel baby! I love you, I love you so much."
Abel was really trying to change and I think that it was working. Everything was going perfectly and he was making me so happy.
"I never would've thought that I could be this happy." I said looking at the house. He wrapped his arms around me and rocked me back and forth.
"I make you happy Sophie?""Yes. Of course you do! You know you and I we've been through everything, the good and the bad, but I think that you and I we're really going to be happy together this time. I feel it in my heart, you've changed."
"Only for the love of my life." He whispered to me.
"I love you Abel."
"I love you too and you're mine baby."
"Why do you say it like that?"
"No reason, I just want you to know."
I laughed. "You're so silly baby."
