In Episode 9
“Crucified”

After
Frano
breaks up an argument between Jagger and Camila, he tells
Jagger that Rita is Sophia, his cousin’s supposedly dead
girlfriend.

Alessandro
tries to calm down a panicked Honey, who is upset that Jagger
doesn’t want her. When she throws herself at him, desperate not to
be sold, he has sex with her. He soon regrets it, not only because
she’s married, but because he discovers she’s an FBI plant, sent in
to bring the D’Angelos down.

Christo
crucifies the Landi sisters, which ignites a mafia war. As a
result, the grieving father storms the D’Angelo household, wanting
to execute the Donatelli sisters. He kills Ghita, but Alessandro
and Frano manage to save Andriena and Camila.

Wanting to take revenge on Christo for what he did to her
seven years ago, Rita asks
Frano
to get word out that she’s alive, so that Christo
will come for her.

Episode 10 “Stalked”

SOPHIA

Jagger
was proposing to me! He was kneeling
behind the school gym, holding a big ring up for me to take. I
couldn’t believe it. Yeah, Christo Donatelli had warned me that
this would happen, but Jagger and I had only been going out for a
few months, so I hadn’t taken the
Padre’s
brother seriously.

Jagger’s
stunning face started to
scrunch up, the look in his eyes telling me he knew I wasn’t going
to accept the ring. “Please say yes,” he said.

“
I can’t.”

He pulled the ring back and
pushed to his feet. He was wearing his school uniform: tan
trousers, a white button-down shirt, a red tie, and a blue blazer.
He looked so nice, but he still wasn’t Frano. Even though I found
Jagger attractive and liked kissing and talking to him, he just
didn’t make my heart pound fast like his cousin did. No, Frano made
it soar;
just the thought of him warmed me all over.

“
Why can’t you marry me?”
Jagger said, his voice sounding hurt.

“
We’re too young,”
not to mention I
want your cousin.

“
I’ll be seventeen
soon
, and
you’re almost eighteen.”

“
It’s still too young, and I’m
only your first girlfriend. Don’t you want to go out with more
people?”

His face dropped. “No! Why would you
say that?”

I looked down at the concrete ground.
“Because, I want to...”

“
You want to
what?!”

“
I want to break
up.”

“
No!”

I looked back up, now even more
upset. I didn’t want to hurt
him, because he was so nice, but he would feel
even worse if he found out I lusted after his cousin.

“
Please
don’t do this, Sophia,” he said,
looking like he was about to cry. “I’m sorry I proposed.” He shoved
the ring into his blazer pocket. “I just want to be with you, no
pressure.” He took a hold of my hands. “Please don’t break up with
me.”

I bit my lip, not knowing what to do now.
After my father had found out about Christo Donatelli’s threat,
he’d made me promise to break up with Jagger. But with Jagger
looking at me like a kicked puppy, I didn’t know whether I could go
through with it.

He let go of my hands, the pain
in th
ose
golden eyes pulling at my heart strings. “You were the only good
thing in my life,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “Now I
have nothing to keep me here.” He picked up his school bag and
slung it over his shoulder.

I took a hold of his arm, scared he would
do something stupid. “Don’t run away.”

Jagger had mentioned he hated
living with his uncle and cousins, and had talked about running
away to America or England, or somewhere no one could find him. And
worse, he’d said that I wa
s the only reason he stayed with them.

“
I’m not worth running away
for,” I added.

He yanked his arm free.
“I’m not going to
run away!
If
I can’t have you, then I have nothing to live for.”
He took off around
the gym as though he couldn’t get away from me fast
enough.

I ran after him, cutting him
off. “Jagger, you shouldn’t say such things
. I’m not worth it.”

His
eyes flashed with anger. “It’s not
only because of you! And what do you care? You hate me.”

“
I don’t hate
you.”

“
Then why are you dumping
me?”

I placed a hand to the back of my head.
“My father is making me,” I said, now wanting to defuse the
situation. If he thought it was because of my father, rather than
my feelings for Frano, then maybe he wouldn’t feel
rejected.

Jagger’s angry expression dropped.
“But, I thought he liked me.”

“
He does, it’s just...” I pulled
a face. “
Christo Donatelli and his brother came over yesterday and
ordered me to stop seeing you. My mother and I were threatened with
our lives if I didn’t agree.”

Jagger’s eyes widened. “I’m going to kill
him!”

He went to move around me. I mirrored
his steps, now terrified he was going to approach Christo. “No,
Jagger.” I grabbed his arms as he tried to go the other way.
“Stop!”

He went still, though he was breathing
hard, the anger in his eyes telling me he would try to kill
Christo. There was a darkness inside of him that at times scared
me. He could be so sweet, making me think of adorable things, then
a few minutes later he could say something that would send chills
down my spine.

“
You can
’t attack Christo Donatelli,” I said.
“He’s a killer.”

“
I don’t want to kill him,”
Jagger snapped, “I want to kill the
Padre
.”

“
Why
? It was his brother who threatened
me.”

“
Only because of the
Padre.
That freak is
behind everything. He tried to bully me into breaking up with you
too.” He dropped his bag and took a hold of my face. “But we can’t
let him or his brother split us up. I love you, and would rather
die than lose you.” He leaned forward and kissed me,
causing me to
freeze in place
. We’d kissed numerous times before, but at this moment,
even though he was my boyfriend, it strangely felt like I was
cheating on Frano, which was
ludicrous
considering I
had nothing to do with
Jagger’s cousin. But I still
didn’t stop Jagger kissing me. He didn’t make my heart soar like
Frano did, but it still beat fast, making me wonder whether I could
stay with him and forget about Frano. No, I could never forget
about Frano, but it didn’t change the fact I could never in a
million years be with him. He was too far out of my league. God,
even Jagger was out of my league, and I should be grateful he
wanted me.

Instead of pulling away, I
wrapped my arms around Jagger and kissed him back. After a minute,
he broke the kiss and placed his forehead against mine. “I will
sort this mess out with the
Padre
, and make him understand I can’t live without
you. So, please, stay with me.”

“
Okay,” I breathed
out
. Deep
down I knew I was making a mistake, but I couldn’t say no, and if
Jagger could change the
Padre
’s mind, things could possibly work between
us.
I just
had to do whatever was necessary to stay away from Frano.
And if I succeeded
in doing that, then hopefully
things could go back to the way they were
before.

Jagger smiled at me, his golden eyes
now dancing with happiness. “You won’t regret this,” he said. “I’ll
make everything right again.”

I nodded and let go of him. “I better get
home,” I said. “I’m grounded.”

“
I’ll see you tomorrow at school
then.”

I shifted about on my feet.
“Can you keep us a secret until you sort things out with the
Padre
?”

“
Sure. The Devil’s coming over
for dinner. I’ll sort it then.”

“
The Devil?”

“
It’s w
hat I call the
Padre
behind his back.”

“
Can I ask why you spend so much
time with him?
His brother said the
Padre
was training you to be a priest. Is it
true?”

“
I’m not going to be a priest!”
Jagger spat out. “And I’m not going to do anything he tells me ever
again. He can go straight to Hell, where he belongs.”

“
Why do you hate the
Padre
so much?” I asked,
the venom in his voice startling me.

“
He... Nothing. I need to get
home. I have stuff to do. See you tomorrow.” He walked past me
fast, taking a short cut across the school field.

Still wondering
why he hated the
priest so much, I headed in the opposite direction. I unlocked my
bike and got on it, then pedaled out of the school grounds. I
spotted my bodyguards’ car further down the road, parked in front
of another black vehicle. They’d been given
orders to drive me to and from
school, but I had insisted on riding my bicycle.
In the end, they
had given into me,
although they still followed me in their car to make sure I
was safe.
