Sonny's POV

I paced the length of room of the abandoned warehouse, I was going to make Claudia suffer a slow and painful death. A moment later Max and Milo were carrying a kicking and screaming Claudia Zacchara. I had regretted marrying her the moment I did but, I was trying to make peace with the Zacchara family. For my goddaughter. I let out a bitter chuckle at the sight of her, as Max made her sit down in a chair while Milo tied her hands and legs with rope.

"What the hell Sonny? Let me go! Is this some sort of sex thing?" Claudia struggled against the rope, but to no avail.

"I think you already know why." Sonny drawled, noting the panic that colored her pale features.

"I...don't know what your talking about." Claudia stutters, earning a headshake from Sonny.

"Claudia, why do you continue to lie to me? I already know the truth. You're fighting a losing battle darling. Did you actually think I could EVER love you? My kids mean everything to me, I go to war for the ones I hold close to me. You could have killed my son, maybe you didn't pull the trigger but Michael still got shot. Do you have any clue how much agony Carly and I were in when my son was in a coma?" Sonny was getting increasingly upset thinking about what happened to his oldest son.

"Sonny, I never meant to hurt Michael. You can't kill me...I'm pregnant with your child." Claudia had thrown a monkey wrench in his plan.

"What?" Was all Sonny could say.

"Here, if you don't believe me just look in my pocket." Claudia nodded down at a piece of paper in her pocket, Sonny snatches it revealing a songram picture of a baby.

"You're pregnant." Sonny states in disbelief.

"You can't kill the mother of your baby, you have to keep me around! Didn't you promise that you'd never hurt any of your children's mothers?" Claudia smirked knowing he couldn't deny it.

"Untie her, that's not good for the baby." Sonny instructed Max and Milo, they did as he said.

"Maybe I can't kill you, but your not my wife." Sonny looked at her with disdain and disgust.

"In the eyes of the law I am." Claudia argued.

"Go back home, Claudia. I don't want you anywhere near me, you're right I can't kill you. Just go, just let her go!" Sonny snapped agitated, as Claudia's smirk only grew.

Lulu's POV

I figured Johnny was still at Jake's so I headed over there after getting changed, I'd extended an invitation to Maxie but she didn't feel like coming. I took a seat at an empty table, sipping on my beer.

"You come here often?" A tan skinned male says with a smirk, making his way over to my table.

"Save it Romeo, I'm off the market." I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"What's your name?" He pressed on, ignoring what she'd just said.

"None of your business. Leave me alone." Lulu scoffed, who did he think he was?

"Can I at least get a dance? I'm Chad, by the way." Chad extended a hand.

"No, now go! Before my boyfriend kicks your ass! I'm not playing around!" Lulu was getting very annoyed.

"Your boyfriend isn't going to do anything, because he doesn't exist. You're just saying that to rile me up. Now c'mon, dance with me. I think you'll like what you see." Chad smirked, grabbing her arm making her stand up so she wouldn't fall.

"He does exist, stop it!" Lulu snapped, trying to jerk back from him but that only drove Chad closer to her body.

"STOP!* Lulu pushed against him, cringing at his touch.

"Stop being a tease, it's getting old honey. I don't even know you're name! Please beautiful, let me hear you say that precious name." Chad pressed his lips against her ear, lowering his voice down to a whisper.

"Please just let me go!!" I yelled at him, cringing as he came closer intending on kissing me.

Johnny's POV

"I wonder where Lulu is." I thought to myself turning around, just in time to see some man jerk another man away from Lulu.

"YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY TO HARASS WOMEN?" The other man yelled, holding the blonde man by the shirt against the table.

"What the fuck?? You think you can just attack my girlfriend and get away with it?" I ran over to the two men, punching the blonde man in the jaw.

"You don't mess with women who have boyfriends, or women at all. You're a piece of shit." The Italian man says with a shake of his head, having no words.

"You're a prick! You don't know what the fuck she's been through! My girlfriend doesn't need pieces of shit like you threatening her or degrading her! Get the duck out of here!" Johnny pushed him towards the door, as the other man got a swift kick to Chad's leg which made him stumble out of the bar.

"Johnny!" Lulu says in relief, wrapping her arms around him.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Johnny cupped her face in his hands, pulling back to look at her.

"I'm okay, my ego took a hit but...I'm okay. It would have been a lot worse if he hadn't shown up." Lulu nods to the other guy.

"Thank you for helping her when I couldn't. Can I buy you a drink?" Johnny extends his hand.

"I grew up with a single mom, some of the guys she dated were really rough with her. I hate seeing that type of behavior because it's wrong, a man shouldn't do that to a woman. I was just doing my job as a man. Sure. I'm Dante, it's nice to meet you." Dante shook his hand, as the three of them sat down.
