Chapter 2
ChitChat: Keep in mind, this is not a Liz/Lorenzo fic. Nevertheless, there will be some romances in the fic.
~Penthouse~
Carly knew those eyes too well. Sonny's big brown eyes, now looked black deep, empty, and cold. Sonny got up careful not to wake Courtney who was sleeping beside him. He signaled his head to the kitchen and she followed.
He pulled out a chair for her then stood by the sink. Carly sat down, looked at her husband, and thought how good he looked with his gray Italian suit. His shirt that was half buttoned up and his sleeves rolled to the elbow. His hair wasn't as slick back as it usually was.
She was bought out of thought when Sonny spoke. "Where have you been?"
"I had some invoices to sign, and some work to do at "The Cellar" I know I should have called, but I was so wrapped in my work I forgot."
Sonny sighed "Carly why you like to lie to me?" Sonny asked running his hands over his face. "When you lie Carly I start to lose it and forget you're my wife and all I see are lies. Now I ask you again where were you?"
Carly eyes cast downward like a small child who was about to be punished. "I umm, I.." Sonny waited for an answer.
"I was walking home. and decided to take a short cut and ran into someone."
"Who?" Sonny asked although he had a good idea of who it was.
"Sonny." "No just tell me who it was."
Carly saw no point and lying again. "I took the short-cut and I saw Alcazar's on the ground not moving."
"Tell me you left him there." Sonny studied Carly's eye and knew she hadn't.
"Carly, Carly, Carly Why? And don't give me the cops would have come straight to me and Jason because we didn't do it." he said walking closer
Carly found that hard to believe that her husband was not the one to set Alcazar up.
"Why couldn't you walk away?"
"I tried." She said softly
"Well you should have tried harder," Sonny yelled. Carly looked at her husband face that was set in stone. "I'm sorry," she pleaded.
"Carly your always sorry. You're sorry about the car going into the lake, you're sorry for the lies you told me, and you're sorry for turning me into the Feds. Carly I'm trying here, but if you have to lie to my face, do things that endangers you and or children, then my trust in you is broken."
Carly eyes swelled up with tears. "Well you know what Sonny, I was going to walk away, but I knew if I did my conscience would have eaten me alive. Alcazar had saved me and our baby on more than one occasion, the least I could do is do the same for him."
Sonny was now pinching the bridge of his nose. "Carly you knew what you signed up for in this marriage. You didn't only marry me Carly, you married my business and the things that I do. When you came into my world my enemies become yours including Alcazar. So your conscience Carly is suppose to go bye-bye. I know that hard to do, but you have to stop taking these risks. Especially risks that involve a man that kept you captive."
Carly's tears were now streaming down her face. "I know I said this before but I'm sorry."
Sonny took the seat next to her. "I know, and I believe you're sincerely sorry, but if something happens to you. I don't want to think about something like that. Those are my worst fears. Losing you, Michael, and the baby, is what wakes me in the middle of the night, and now it's scares me to death because my enemy is all hot and bothered over you."
Carly laughed between her tears as Sonny wiped them away. "I love you Carly, and I don't want to lose you."
"You won't." The moment she looked in his eyes the coldness faded and those big puppy dog eyes were there again. "Hey let get Courtney out of here and go to bed huh" He smiled that million-dollar smile at her. "Sounds like a plan to me."
~Alcazar's Apartment~
The sunlight shined through the window. Elizabeth eyes fluttered hoping that her latest dream was real. She let out a groan, when she found herself and the reality of being in Alcazar's apartment. She attempted to close her eyes hoping the scenery would have changed when she opened them again. She let out another groan of disappointment.
She looked over to see Alcazar still out. She moved from the comfort of the recliner next to him. She removed the cloth she had only placed there an hour ago. She re-wet the cloth and began to apply it when Lorenzo's hand moved fiercely for her throat and started to squeeze. His fierce blue eyes shot open only to see Elizabeth struggling trying to pry his hand from her neck. He let go and Elizabeth coughed for air. "I'm sorry it's just that.Lorenzo trailed off. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah" she said coughing "I know you're paranoid from last night, but don't take it out on me." She finally stated getting her breath back.
He sat up to study the young woman. He had so many questions. First, he needed to do something else.
"You stayed here all night, for that I thank you for watching over me."
"Don't mention it," she said drinking a glass of water while handing him one.
"I really mean that." He said earnestly "Well your welcome, but Carly is the one who found you."
"Oh, I hadn't forgotten." He eyed Elizabeth who looked as if she was cleaning up his living room.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked.
"If you want to ask me if I called cops or an hospital, the answer is no.
"Good, good if you had it would have been disastrous for us."
"Well I learned the rules awhile back."
"Yes, I understand you dated Jason Morgan awhile back. So you know the essence of silence in the business I'm in.
"Yeah you learn, to keep you mouth shut in situations like these."
Lorenzo nodded "Another thing I wanted to ask you is, did I say something while I was asleep?"
"You said a couple of things."
"Tell me," almost fearing what he might have said
"You said names Carly, Sonny, Jason, and a name I didn't recognize I think it was Sophie. Who is she?"
"No one," he spoke absently
"Well if that's all I'll be going umm, here put this on the bruises" she said handing him ointment cream. "It should prevent swelling and infection."
"Thank you." He said pouring him a glass of vodka. Elizabeth frowned and took the glass. "Your throat is trying to heal. I don't think your throat would appreciate liquid fire, especially early in the morning."
Lorenzo cracked a smile "I suppose it wouldn't."
Elizabeth smiled and headed to the door and opened it, she stopped in her tracks when she looked into the angry and shocked eyes of Sonny and Jason.
Lorenzo looked to see what stopped Elizabeth. His ice blue eyes clashed with cold black ones. He hid a smile. He had to admit he hadn't expected them this early. Carly must have told him that she was here last night. Having Elizabeth here now worked to his advantage as well. "How can I help you Mr. Corinthos?" Sonny looked from Elizabeth's face to Lorenzo's.

If so I would like for my Sophie to be no other than Anna Devane. She would have been still with Duke and still the have been Police Chief of PC as well, but I'm going to re-write some history.
