Apollo's pov

SOFIA?

"You weren't expecting me, were you? says the soldier standing in front of me. He looks at me and my father. The person spits him out

"Don't you dare call me weak again, because I'm not the one on the floor with bloody clothes"

"Sofia, my dear" he says and tries to get up. She hits him again. She comes to me and sits in front of me. 

''Pathetic''She says and unties my hands and feet and I get up. I hug her.

"Come on, you have to lie down, you're injured"

''you too''

''I'm not suffering anything,'' She says.

"We'll talk again if you're not dead by then."she gives him a death stare 

No matter how hurt I am, I hug her and take her to the car. As soon as Axel sees us, he runs over us

''WHAT'S UP? APOLLO? SOFIA? ARE YOU OK?''

"Calm down bro" I say

''WHAT HAPPENED;''

"Sofia almost killed my father with a 2X45 revolver"

''WHAT DID YOU DO?''Axel says surprised

"are you dumb and don't you understand?"

"No I just can't believe what I'm hearing"

"Try to do it, if you want, go with Apollo to the doctor of stupidity, I've told him to go many times" they laughed.

Sofias pov

I get in the car and see Eliza. I told her what happened and how it happened. She didn't believe it either.

There were four of us in the car and we were laughing, talking about everything.

"how did you do that you beast"

''I have been training all my life, without even knowing the reason. My father was forcing me and I couldn't say anything about that. He justified it to me as a counterattack and resistance. I know how to handle almost all the weapons of the mafia, I know how to defend myself, I know how to disarm the opponent and finally I know how to manipulate others.''

"And you didn't know you were in the Mafia?" Apollo asks and looks at me from the mirror.

''no''

"spectacular"he says and looks at me smiling from the mirror 

*********

afternoon/next day

Today is Apollo's birthday.

We are in the preparations

simple ones

The people are coming.

Apollo had left me a dress at noon. I'm like a queen and he's like a king. 

The dress is a navy blue strapless,with diamonds on the waist-belt.I wear a pair of metal silver heels.And my tiara.

The music had started. We went with Apollo to have a drink.

"Do you like it?" I tell him and wait for an answer

"What question is that? You've set it up perfectly"

"thanks"i say and smile at him 

"Now Apollo Martínez and Sofia Perez are coming to the dance floor," Bella says into the microphone.

holy shit

what

i look at her worriedly and she just smirks.

Apollo and I are forced to dance.We haven't did it actually.He looks at me ready to kill me with a stare

"Don't look at me, I didn't know about that"i say and raising my arms like an innocent 

We went to the middle. He grabs me by the waist and I'm by the neck. We start and I dance.

''you are very beautiful ''

"Thank you too" I smile at him

The song stops

"I hope this doesn't bother you" he says and kisses me. He brings me to him. Everyone was yelling and screaming. They were laughing and clapping.He is walking to the stairs holding my hand.He raises his glass 

"Good evening, thank you for your presence in such an important event. I want to say a big thank you to the people who helped create this event and above all I want to thank Sofia Perez from the bottom of my heart" and he is looking at me

"Every day you make me happier, as soon as I met you, you made me feel like I have the ability finally to love. You were like an angel from heaven. Thanks for all your help. I love you so much"she just said. waiting for me to speak, the whole crowd is waiting for me to speak

"I love you too" I say with a breath. A weight is lifted off of him and everyone shouts happily. Suddenly I see a strange guy walking behind. In the rooms near the living room ceiling.

''I'll come back''i say to Apollo and smile fakely

I follow this man who seems to know the house better than I do and he goes to a part of the house I've never been before.

"What are you doing?" I  Yell. He's freezing

''Sophia, you scared me'' The person turns.He is taking his mask of.i better say she.my sister

''What are you doing here;''

"Nothing,i have to deal with something"

''like what?''

"something to do with the mafia"

"Leave before I call Apollo"

"So what is he going to do to me? Have his men shoot me again?" I do not answer. She enters a room. It looks like a palace.

"Wherever you go I will follow you." She nods. She opens the nightstand and takes out a key.

"Here you are" she says and goes to the next room.

She goes to the bathroom. This room is all white. It goes to the only black place. The cabinet above the sink. He pulls out a jar of powder, gray powder. We move to the last room and it goes under the bed. He takes a black chalk.

"What are we going to do to them?

"You nothing, I'll do it"

"Are you going to let me come with you or I'm going to call security"

"Good".

Forms a square with the chalk. She draws a lock and sprinkles some dust on it. Soon the ceiling was gone and there was a gap to fit a key. She puts in the key and unlocks a hatch. Quickly a large staircase automatically descended and we began to climb. we saw a place full of mirrors, paintings, furniture covered with cloths and sheets. My sister found some files and took them and left. I take out what's on top. It is broken and has the word 'freak' engraved on it. What could this mean?

I head to a bunch of paintings. I take off the cloth and see a lot of photos of me. From when I was 3 until I was 10. Where and who found these? Are you saying Apollo knows about this place? What the hell, why he has me here again. It says my full name as a heading. I see some spell solving papers. Another paper with some dates. It had pictures and all were crossed out in red marker except 3. My sister's, Brad's and Bill's. What's the deal? do I have them??

I'd better get out of here. If he finds me here, he'll be angry

I fell down, I tripped. I fell on top of a box. The box said

''Hermes Gonzalez's stuff'' what the hell?

what are the things of Hermes doing here?

Right next to it I see a box that says "Jaxon Gonzalez's stuff" but what is going on here? I open the box and some memories come to me.

OUCH

my heart broke into billion pieces

A PORTRAIT

a portrait very similar to the one we had made with jaxon.

It reminds me of him.

This memory of love

I have one for me and one for him. Logically, he has died.

He may have been a friend of Apollo and let him. I'll ask him later. I take the box down and take it to my room. I go downstairs and everyone has left.He looks at me suspiciously

''Where were you?''

"Apollo, come a little bit upstairs"I say seriously

We went upstairs, and I show him the portrait. He opens his eyes wide.

''where did you find this?'' he asks frozen

"It doesn't matter," I say

''it matters ''

"just tell me what the fuck is a portrait of my old boyfriend doing in your house, in a hatch I didn't know anything about"

"it doesn't matter, sleep"

"Apollo, you know what? I'm bored, you never answer me completely, answer correctly for once. Don't say I can't tell you. I know everything about you"

"You think you know me huh?"

"Then tell me who you are, so I can understand"

''Fucking hell,Apollo answer my question''

''You fucking piece of shit answer me'' 

I keep yelling at him. He just looks at me and stays still. I start hitting him. He doesn't do anything. A tear falls on his cheek. His leg is shaking. He sits on the bed. Suddenly there is a sound that I never expected to hear.
