It was the loud laughter that called his attention, he decided to investigate. He walked into the dinning area and saw Gia and Marlina laughing, it seemed Lucia was the entertainment, they stopped laughing when they realized he was present. He realized what was happening when he saw her face, her cheeks were stuffed with food ,he looked so cute and funny. "You look like a chipmunk", he thought. She looked up, he didn't realize he had said it out loud. There was no going back anyway, he was about saying something when he realized that her face turned red, she seemed to be breathe.
He rushed to her side and slapped her back twice, Gia and Marlina rushed to her side offering her a glass of water, the slap seemed to have worked because she started coughing. When the cough subsided he then offered her water to drink, "You silly girl", he said, "Why would you do that". Her face was still red, she seemed traumatized by theI'm experience. Without thinking, he pulled her close and hugged her, the lavender scented soap filled his nose and she rested her head on his neck, she seems so delicate and he is going to do everything within his power to protect her. "I'm sorry", Lucia said. "For what?", he asked. "I seem to be causing a lot of trouble for you, the food was just so good....". "shhhh", he hushed her, "you never have to apologize for anything with me". he said looking into her eyes, the room felt empty like the were the only ones in the room. "hmphhh!", Gia cleared her throat loudly, " Madam Gia, should I clear the table or you would like to continue?". She pulled away from him and answered" I'm done, thank you for the meal, i think i will just go to bed now". she stood up . "yeah sure", He answered, standing also, he walked her to the room. "I hope you don't mind me taking over your bedroom for now" , she asked. "nahhh, you can stay here as long as you like, scrap that, I'm not going to allow you go back to your dad's". "But... I don't have anything here though, I would need to get my stuff, and can I really just stay here like you don't mind?... I heard you don't allow anyone stay over in your house ". "I don't", he answered. "So, what's different now?", she asked. "you are in danger, and you need me to protect you". He answered. "oh", she paused and she said. Was she expecting a different reply, he could not deny that there was something different, a feeling he could not explain but he was not going to admit it, no way, well at least not yet. " Do you want anything else before we go get your stuff?", he asked. "hmmm yeah, my phone, I don't really know where it is and I need to do some stuff, and my laptop also". "okay I will get a new phone but I would go round yours tomorrow and check for your laptop". "you don't need to get me a new phone, I can follow you , you know to search for it". She said. " No, we still haven't figured out how those guys knew you went back home, we need to be very careful, they are still on the look out for you", he explained. " oh my gosh, this is so frustrating, I mean why?", she sighed, " I can't do anything because of this people, I didn't even tell the police anything, why do they keep looking for me?". "Lucia, nothing will happen to you, not while I'm here, trust me". He assured her. "thanks", she said looking at him with those eyes again. The air became light and it seemed like..." good night" , he said and hurriedly left.The next day, Lucia felt better than she did yesterday but she felt bored and lonely soon afterwards, Andretti definitely has a lot more important things to do than babysitting her. Her phone and laptop was still not found so she could not do any work. She didn't to explore the mansion, she was going to be staying here for a long time so She might as well get to know her environment well. enough. She wanted to take her mind of the numerous questions she had, how long was she going to stay here?, what would have to her life from now? these questions she definitely would have to discuss with Andretti.She saw around update and went into the kitchen it was empty like the rest of the house, the house felt really lonely, she was pretty sure if people were around she would still feel that way. She went out of the kitchen into the hallway then she saw a door she had not seen before. She opened the large door and she was shocked to see that it was a library, she would have been less surprised
Andretti was sitting in his study, talking to his grandfather, the old man's 90th birthday was coming up in a week and the godfather was making sure he would be present for the celebration, Andretti was his favorite after all. They were discussing about the formalities for the birthday and he was concerned about how the shipping business will come on after Jimmy's death. A major priority for them now was to find and recruit another person to take over Jimmy's position, Andretti was assuring his grandfather that everything was under control when Lucia burst in. Thinking something was up, he ended the call immediately and rose to his feet, grabbed his firearm from the study table, he looked at the monitor where the CCTV cameras all over his building was connected to, he realized that nothing was wrong, the only noticeable thing was that two of his security guards were discussing in the garage, which was hardly an emergency , "Porco Cane!!, Lady you gave me such a fright!, what are you
Two days had passed passed, after her morning stroll, Lucia stood in the patio, her back resting against the wall staring into space. The memory of what happened days back still clear in her mind, she needed to talk to him but she had not seen him since the last time, it seemed like he was avoiding her. Gia said he didn't come back home last night, maybe he was feeling guilty about what had happened. A figure emerged from the distance, it's features shrouded in uncertainty, it should be one of the staff, she thought still looking at the figure. As it drew closer, the outline of the person became apparent, it was Andretti. As he walked towards her, the weight of what had previously happened hung in the air like a challenge, his footsteps echoed through the silence as he got closer, each step a deliberate move towards reconciliation. She could see the tension in his shoulders, the stiffness in his posture as he walked. Her eyes narrowed slightly as he approached, a mixture of fear and
Andretti Agnello sat in dimly lit office, sipping his glass of brandy, his mind wandered back to earlier in the day, to the moment that had been haunting him all day. He couldn't shake the memory of her lips touching his. He thought about the way her lips quivered as it drew closer to his, the way her hair fell in loose waves down her neck, he thought about the way his heart raced when she drew near, the way his palms grew sweaty with anticipation. The brief moments the kiss lasted he felt like... like a spark ignited, a flame that threatened to consume his whole, her lips were as soft as silk. Andretti's hand instinctively rose to his lips, as if tracing the outline of hers, he would have had her there and then if he didn't draw back. He was a man who didn't draw back from anything, but he knows he is a dark soul, a troubled man, his life isn't something he wants to bring her into. He feared his potential to hurt those he loved, his affection for her would make him vulnerable and s
He looked into her eye, his hands grasped her waist, pulling her close with fierce intensity, her eyes flashed with desire, her lips parting as his lips crashed down on hers, their mouths meeting in a passionate desperate kiss. Lucia's hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as their bodies presses together, the room melted away, leaving only the two of them lost in their desires. Andretti's hand lifted Lucia off the ground, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carried her into the bedroom. They fell onto the bed, their bodies entwined, their lips still locked in a fierce kiss. Their clothes were shed in a frenzy of desire, their skin meeting in a passionate embrace, his hands exploring every inch if her body, his touch setting her aflame, her fingers dug into his skin, her nails leaving marks as she urged him on with her hips, their lovemaking was intense, passionate, and all consuming, he lost himself in her and she in him, their desire burning brighter with every touc
Marcia had told him that Lucia wanted to see him, he tried avoiding her after the night they spent together, but this time she insisted on meeting him, he couldn't avoid her any longer without making it obvious, he told Marcia to bring her over to his study. He hoped she does not ask him what happened to those guys, he had Amato take care of them. Marcia walked in with Lucia, She looked as pretty as always "Hi", she said. "Hey", they avoided each other's eyes as they spoke, "I left because I ......". "I'm not here for that, I want to know when I can go home", she asked. "oh, hmmm.... is there something you need or...?", he asked, for some reason he didn't want her to leave, ironically as he was the one who suggested renting an apartment for me. "No, I thought about what you said the other day, and you may be right, this life may not be for me, I think I should just go back to my life, I definitely do not want to over stay my welcome". "I don't mind you staying here, I kno
Andretti and Andreo rushed back to the plaza, the made men were not lazing around as usual, everyone was at alert, their founder is here, in five years since Andretti became Capo the godfather had not been to the plaza. They greeted him as he walked past, he was too preoccupied with his thoughts to respond, his grandfather had promised not to interfere with his position as Capo, and he knew his grandfather would not break his promise without reason. He tried so hard to think of what could be wrong, the Mafia business was going on fine, their had found a replacement for Jimmy, they had taken revenge on Jimmy's killers, they had doubled their operations in their territories, he couldn't think of any reason why his grandfather would be here. He Walked into his office with Andreo following behind, his grandfather was sitted on his chair with his bodyguard standing behind, Amato was there as well, the godfather looked as frail as usual. He walked to his grandfather, took his hand and kis
"What do you mean, Andretti", His grandfather asked. Andretti had just blurted words out without thinking, like his grandfather said 'family first', there's no way he would give Lucia to the serpents if she is carrying his great grand child, his first for that matter. "There's no way that's true", Amato said. "I don't think you should doubt the prowess of Agnello men", Andretti said eyeing Amato, for some reason Amato seemed to be so against the whole thing. "You know I will figure out if you are lying Andretti", his grandfather said. "I would not lie about something like this", Andretti lied. "Hmphhh.....this makes everything a lot more complicated". "The serpents would not be happy with this", Amato said. "We just have to figure out how to appease them", Andretti said. "Maybe we can give them some of our territories", Amato suggested. "Hell, no, I have worked too hard to gain those territories to just give them out to the serpents, what are you talking about bro
