68- Unexpected Forgiveness
POV- Sofia Vitali.
I enter my ally's room and he is as always, behind his armchair. Without showing his figure, he had no idea if it was a young or old man.
I sit uninvited, because I have never been much of a person to have manners. Silence reigns for a few seconds, until I decide to break it, saying:
"Antonie is no longer on our side and I think she has already told Eleonora and her orda." I hear him growl and grit his teeth.
"I knew well that that sciolto would disrupt our plans and you are responsible for that. It is your fault that I will have to settle this matter myself." He throws a glass cup towards the wall, which shatters with the impact. I swallow hard, I've never been afraid of anyone like I am of this man. "Edgar, call the Shadow." He speaks to someone, who until then had not noticed his presence, so much so that I am startled when he slams the door on his way out. "I thought I was smarter, I was wrong with you."
"We all make mistakes." Whisper.
"But this mistake ended any plan we could come up with, for everything to come out perfect and without mistakes." He pauses and then asks: "Did you ever tell him about me?"
"No, he has no idea I have your support." I say convinced and he says nothing. We are interrupted by the door, which this time is opened.
"I'm here, sir. What do you need?" A horrifying voice sounds, giving me chills.
"Edgar, give him the address and the photo of who he needs to bring to me." I dare not look back, for I already knew what it was about. I smile mischievously, since I would soon have my revenge.

POV- Eleonora Vitale.
I wake up with a severe headache and I also feel like I'm lying on the floor. I try to get up, but my arms and legs are tied, preventing any movement. In addition, I also had a tape covering my mouth.
A light is lit above me in the midst of the darkness, making me blink through the light. I can hear footsteps toward me. I try to at least raise my head and widen my eyes when I see that it is Sofia.
"Well, well, little sister. We finally had a chance to get to know each other." She says, as she continues to walk up to me. And once it's close enough, it crouches down and whispers, "It's time we started settling the score." She prepares to slap me, so I close my eyes and hide my face. A few seconds pass and nothing happens, then I look back at her, who is held by the wrist by a bad-looking man.
He had a very large scar on his face.
"And this one? Why did you prevent me from giving this what it deserves?" I feel like flying on your neck.
Who does this dannazione think she is?
"The boss asked you to be calmer, he still wants to talk to the girl. So keep your posture, or he won't let you have what you want for now." Seeming to be very angry, Sofia nods and looks at me again. The stranger approaches and removes the tape from my mouth.
"Luck really is your friend." Says my twin with a cold smile. "She was not taken away and much less was she mistreated for long years by a bad person. He had the opportunity to have a loving family and now he has built his own."
"So, is this all about envy? Are you envious of everything I have?" I raise my eyebrow and it tries to advance on me, but the man stops her again. "I am not to blame for what you lived and did not live, I am as innocent as anyone. Don't you think you should look for who took you away from our mother?"
"The person who did this is already dead, do you think I'm stupid enough not to look for the real culprit of all this?" He questions ironically.
"If you know who has harmed you, why do you want to hurt me? I did absolutely nothing to him!!" I raise the tone of voice and this makes her put her hands to her ears, as if she was bothered by the noise I make.
"Time is up, Miss Helena. Vitale." The man pulls her and the two leave the space I'm in, leaving me alone.
I feel like I'm being watched, I look around me as much as I can. But there is only the little that the light can lighten, for the rest is bathed in darkness.
MEANWHILE...
...
POV- Viktor Sorrentino.
I lost count of how many times I tried to contact Eleonora on the phone. But all the calls fell into voicemail. Alfred had already notified the police about her disappearance and everyone was looking for her.
I tried to kill Antonie, but the officers took him as a suspect and I didn't have a chance to proceed with my act.
I walk back and forth in Eleonora's room, not losing hope that she can suddenly answer my calls. I feel something land on my shoulder and look to the side, seeing Alfred, who had red eyes, just like me, because we are both distressed.
I am taken by surprise when he pulls me into a hug, but we separate very quickly with the baby who cries in her crib. "Most likely you're hungry!"
"Heavens, Alfred! How are we going to feed it? Eleonora is not here." I ask already getting desperate.
"Wait, Eleonora asked me to buy a newborn milk in case she didn't have enough milk to breastfeed her. I'll be back in a few minutes..." So he leaves, leaving me with Alessa. I take her in my arms and try to calm her down long enough for Alfred to return with the milk. Endless minutes pass, until he comes back with the milk he had mentioned earlier. Even though I was afraid, I put the bottle in my daughter's small mouth and she is so hungry that she hardly realizes that it is not her mother's breasts. "La mia povera nipote, what a disaster! Where will my figlia be?"
"For now we don't know, but I'll find out. Soon I will have to leave and gather my security and investigation team. She can't be too far away and when I get my hands on the maledetto who dared to kidnap her, I will kill it myself with my bare hands." Determine. Alfred watches me sadly and takes the baby in his arms. She was like a little angel and had already taken all the milk.
We looked at Alessa, her crying stopped, but some time later, a very unpleasant odor took over the room. Alfred and I looked at each other, we both smelled the same odor and then we realized the situation.
"It's yours." He handed it to me and I frowned. "The daughter is yours, why! Go change it." I swallowed hard, because I had never done such a thing. And finally I asked him:
"Is there no one here who can help us? I've never done that!" Alfred shakes his head negatively and leaves the room, then returns, accompanied by a girl. He explains the situation to her, she is willing to help and I pay attention to how it is done.
In the end, it wasn't too difficult!
"Shame on you, isn't it, little one?" I questioned my daughter, who went back to sleep peacefully. "My love, I will have to go out and look for your mammina. I promise you that I will bring you back." I put her back in the crib and let Alfred know about my departure.
We ended up filling the property with security guards, so that what happened would not happen again.
...
POV- Eleonora Vitale.
I have no idea how long I've been asleep, and I have no idea how long it's been since I've been brought here. Again, the feeling of being watched filled me. Not being able to stand such a feeling, I asked:
"Who's there?" I look for something or someone in the surroundings, but you can't see much. Finally, I hear footstep sounds and try to visualize the image.
Her feet hidden by black leather shoes are revealed, soon her knees covered by dress pants are also exposed. I swallow hard when I see the full figure in front of me.
"Viktor?"
