Sofia’s POV

Ryan echoed after a moment and I lifted my head to stare at him and I blinked once at him, biting the insides of my cheeks almost immediately and at the same time, moving a little in my seat.

“We wouldn’t?” I asked and watched as he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head once, his eyes still locked with mine, and I knew after a few seconds that it was extremely hypocritical of me to start feeling guilty and weird about being told to keep some stuffs from Luca, when I had literally asked him to to the same when he had found me crying in the here sitting room, some days ago.

Not like I was ever going to walk up to luca and start up a conversation about how Ryan started to ask me about myself… and would it even matter? Now that I think about it, I honestly do not think it would because it’s just something as simple as that and nothing as serious as me asking him to keep the details about him finding me crying completely to himself.

    Sofia’s POV The whole thing only managed to remind me of my younger and only brother, Angelo. Because this was like a normal routine between us, where we’d argue and bicker just for the fun of it and sometimes it might be because we were actually arguing about real issues and not for the fun of it.We also sometimes try to ignore each other for a few hours, but every time we get into that kind of fight, which isn’t very frequent, one of us always end up going back to meet the other ehen we were both supposed to be ignoring each other and staying mad at one and other, and from that very moment, we’d start talking and laughing with each other like none of the argument which had made us start to ignore each other at first, had never happened or taken place in the first place.I moved a little on my spot on the couch and dragged in a deep breath, right before I puffed it out and then sighed out, which barely used up to a second in my lungs, all came out in a long sigh which portrayed

    Sofia’s POV “Whoa, I most definitely didn’t expect him to be this talented, that’s a lot of skills the little guy has up his sleeves.” Ryan started to say after a moment and I snorted a little before turning my head around and staring at him. “Did you say little? He doesn’t look that little, he looks really older than his age, he even looks older than I am even though I am three years older than him.”“Oh, now I guess I can understand how he’s able to figure out how to pick locks himself, that’s really impressive of him, your father must have been really proud.” He mused and I shrugged a little, of course my father would be really proud about it, after all, he has been the one to be encouraging my younger brother to start training in different kinds of things all at ones even before he clocked the age of six, all because Lind I had overheard him say a countless times, he was training his kid and bringing him up to be a strong and fearless person when he grows up.But then he hadn’t

    Sofia’s POV “Well then, can you tell me something about your childhood? What it felt like for you, what it was like growing up and finally coming of age, and all those kinds of stuff.” I said to him after a minute and watched as he stared at me blankly for a fleeting moment, right before the sides of his lips started to stretch out a little into a small smile. “Why? You’re curious?” He demanded in a light voice and I find myself nodding my head in reply befute I could think and I watched as the tiny smile at the corner of his lips started to stretch into a small chuckle.“I am.” I mumbled out in a small voice and watched as he chuckled a little before starting to lean forward until he was leaning into my side of the couch, right before he started to speak. “You still haven’t gotten around to telling me about yourself, Mrs Ricci, you know that?” He started to say after a moment, the sides of his lips still stretched out a little.“I would, like I said I was going to some time ago

    Sofia’s POV Ryan breathed out with a tilt of his head and I stared at him for a few seconds more, before leaning back on my spot on the couch and nodding my head once at him, and then I watched as he shifted a little on his feet, right before he turned around and started to make his way out the sitting room through the opened doorway.I puffed out a breath as soon as his built has disappeared from the doorway and out of sight, right before I proceeded to lean back against the backrest of the couch which I was currently sitting on.I dragged in a deep breath and puffed it out after a moment, moving my fingers ever so lightly against my thighs and feeling the smooth surface of the pop socks which I had worn beneath the small skirt which I had on at the moment, and liking how it was feeling almost ticklish against my fingertips.I huffed out another deep breath, my body moving against the back rest of the couch right before I threw my head against the top of the back rest of the co

    Sofia’s POV I breathed out a sigh and tugged both parts of the bag of chips open, and then I leaned forward and spit the content which I had been unable to swallow down, directly into the bag of chips. And then I proceeded to fold up the bag of chips and tie up the edge, knowing that I was going to be taking it into the trash can next.I returned the now tied up bag of chips and placed it on the side of the table which I had picked it up from, and then I made sure that my phone wasn’t hanging on the edge of the table. Once I was done, I pushed myself towards my feet and started to make my way towards the television set located here in the sitting room, and then I leaned towards where all the whole wires sat in, reaching towards the particular switch which controlled the television. I switched it on and took a few steps away from the spot which I had been standing in, moments ago, and then I watched as the television started to start up after a few moments, the really large screen

    Luca’s POV I blinked my eyes open and stared straight into the roof almost immediately, blinking my eyes a few korea times to get the remaining sleep which was clinging to it, completely off the lashes, and then I slowly rolled onto my side, before carefully sitting up and groaning lowly in my throat. The curtains were pulled shut as expected so I couldn’t glance through the window, but notwithstanding, I didn't need to check the sky before knowing about the fact that it was currently some minutes past five thirty a.m in the morning.I turned my head around and stared at a sleeping Sofia, and her head was the only thing picking out of the blankets which she had drawn around her whole shoulders and the upper parts of her face, it was only revealing a little part of her face and her hair was also not helping matters by coming to sprawl out around her face and shoulders like another dark and think colored blankets, and it got to a point that I started to wonder and then worry abou

It was a Monday morning and the date, day and time showed brightly and boldly on the front of the Home Screen. It was some minutes before it was going to get to six thirty a.m and I knew that I had spent too much time here in bed immediately after had jolted awake, doing nothing else except to watch Sofia and touch her smooth skin, before tugging the blanket off the lower part of her face. It was obvious that I had cut in on my time which I was supposed to spend in the gym, which only meant one thing, I was going to be completely gyming for only about twenty to thirty minutes, thanks to the thirty minutes which I had wasted here in bed.Well, when I start to think about it, I wouldn’t really call it wasting, because to me, I didn’t see it like I had wasted my time or anything, because what I had done, the time which I had spent just staring at

    Luca’s POV I stepped out of the walk-in closet and pulled the door close behind me without making any unnecessary sounds as I made my way towards the side table at the side of my phone where my phone was currently sitting. I picked it up, along with the guns and knives on the table, and I shoved them all into their respective places and spots, before turning around and starting to make my way towards the door which would lead outside our bedroom. I paused beside it and turned around to stare at Sofia, and as expected, she still haven’t moved from that particular spot which she had been in, ever since when I had woken up, and even through out those times when I had pulled down the blankets which had been covering her nose, and it had looked so much to me like she wasn’t able to breathe well.I could clearly remember when I had seen her laying at the far end of the bed, at the very tip, and how I had been worried about her talking off the bed for a moment as I had stated to her.

    Sofia’s pov The kids had been bursting with excitement, which only meant one thing. It meant more headaches for Luca and I.“Baby, we talked about this, didn’t we? You can’t check the presents until it’s Christmas.” I murmured to Aria while holding her against my chest. She was clearly unhappy about this tiny rule because her frown deepened at once.“But it’s so far awayyyyy! No one is gonna know if I take a peek.”I chuckled as I let her slid down. “Daddy is gonna know.” I reminded her and that seemed to make her have a change of heart.“Oh.” She hesitated a little. “I guess I can wait a bit more.”“More like one more day, honey cause it’s tomorrow!” I gushed out and a grin split out on her face.“Really?!” She demanded and after getting another confirmation, she went off to find her brother, leaving me to myself. I sighed as I watched her leave with a fond smile on my face while massaging my forehead. I called out to her to be careful before I got back to what I was doing before.

    FOUR YEARS LATER Sofia’s pov “Be careful, honey!” I called out at once, but I doubt she heard me as she hurriedly raced forward till she was standing before James, a glass of milk carefully clutched in her hand.“Here it is, Uncle James!” She called out enthusiastically and a familiar feeling of fondness swelled in my heart as I watched as an exaggerated look of awe got plastered on James’ face as he accepted the glass of milk.“Thank you, Aria! You’re so hardworking.” He complimented as he took a few gulps of the milk because a tiny sip wasn’t gonna be accepted by Aria who’s clearly still waiting for more compliments.“It tastes so nice and fresh, wow.” James gushed and I listened as Aria’s pleased giggles filled up the room. She began to bounce on her toes when she began to speak. “If you noticed, uncle James, the glass wasn’t totally filled up this time because mommy said that’s how it’s supposed to be to avoid it spilling from the top, and I listened to mommy because she’s alwa

    Luca’s POV The bouquet of flowers I had gotten on the way home was a mixture of lilies and tulips, and I paired it with a bunch of balloons and a wrapped gift on the side. It’s a little past six and I couldn’t wait to be home already. I couldn’t wait to get home to my wife and our babies.Work has been quite stressful for the past month, the mafia aspect, to be specific. After news of my wife giving birth circulated around, I already knew that the amount of enemies I have was automatically gonna triple, and in order to keep my family safe, I was gonna have to be more at alert. The mafia clan had thrown a party in celebration after the birth of our babies, and I had purposely attended it alone, keeping my wife and kids far away from a gathering like that because it was filled with dangerous people from top to bottom.“Your enemies are gonna start attacking you even more now that you have a successor. People who have hoped to replace you if you ended up dying without an h

    Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER “I look ugly and bloated.” I blurted out while eying my reflection in the floor length mirror in the walk-in closet. Luca, who had been running a comb through his hair, paused for a moment before throwing me a glance, and then a smile bloomed on his face.“Of course you don’t! How can you even think that when you look like a goddess right now.” He murmured, discarding his comb and heading in my direction. I pouted at my reflection, not at all impressed by what I was looking at.“Now you’re just lying cause I’m sure goddesses don’t look this bad. My face is swollen and I literally feel like I’m gonna die.” Luca who had now eased up behind me let out a chuckle into my hair as his hand slid around my waist to carefully cradle my large stomach from the sides.“You still look very gorgeous to me. I don’t think your face is ugly, neither do I think you’re no longer sexy, because you still are. Did last night not explain that enough?” He chuckled at the end of

    Luca’s pov It was clear as day that this particular topic has been troubling Sofia for a while now. I could tell from how she was wringing her fingers. I lifted her fingers and brushed my lips across it, and then I let out a long sigh.“If I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t actually thought about it. I just assumed you don’t want them and I was cool with that.” Her eyes widened comically as she whispered. “But… I want children.”I hummed. “I see that now.” “You don’t want children?” Sofia asked after a few moments and I slowly shook my head.“I don’t think I do, cause I don’t actually like the thought of bringing a child into a lifestyle as dangerous as my current one, and leaving the mafia is completely out of the question cause the past would end up catching up with me no matter what.”“Oh.” She whispered while chewing at the inside of her mouth.“Yes, love. But, that aside, I love babies. They’re always so cute and clueless of all the evils in the world.” Sofia laughed at th

    Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER*** The sounds of soft laughter filtered through the screen of the television I was currently staring at and a small smile tugged at the side of my lips as I averted my gaze and took a glance at the wall clock situated at the top of the wall here in the room. It was past eight in the evening, which indicated that Luca was almost home, and an excited feeling coursed down my spine. It doesn’t matter that Luca has almost returned home to me every damn day, that giddy feeling still engulfs me every day.Which is the best thing ever, said my therapist when we stumbled on that topic. It’s been over two years and till date, I’m still yet to stop seeing my therapist. She, a Middle aged woman, has made me feel so much love and comfort than my mother has done for me throughout the past two decades that I’ve been alive. The sounds of cute giggles emitting from the television screen grabbed my attention and once again, I focused on it. This time, my bre

    Sofia’s pov The weeks flew by faster than i could keep up with.Healing was slower than I anticipated, and I hated almost every second of it, if I was being honest, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t willingly take another bullet for Luca if I could, because I will. Luca had gotten extremely displeased when I offhandedly said those same words to him, and he made me promise to never, ever do that again.I stayed in the hospital for months, because Luca wanted me to be completely healed before getting discharged. The flowers that got sent to me by every well wishers had gotten thrown out more than three times because at a point, they all began to rot.A little gathering was thrown in celebration of my release from the hospital. Everybody was there waiting in the house as entered the house, from Kayla and her husband, Travis, to Armani and his girlfriend, Nala, to James and his fiancée, Blair, to Angelo.

    Sofia’s pov ‘Was this how it feels to float?’I asked myself over and over again, the more time I spent in that same unending loophole. It felt like I was stuck in a fluffy space, but instead of sinking, I remained afloat.Muffled voice could be heard coming from multiple sides at once but I couldn’t make any word out, neither could I tell each voice apart from the other.I limbs literally felt nonexistent because I couldn’t wait use of them no matter how much I tried. It’s almost weird how it’s pitch dark in this fluffy space, preventing me from making anything out.Or perhaps, I was the one who had my eyes closed throughout, I realized when I discovered that I could feel my eyelids twitch a little. I tried to get my eyes open after that, but ended up giving up after trying over and over again to no avail. I drifted straight into an unconscious state after that.When I came to once again, I felt warm fingers around mine. The fingers felt familiar in a way, and with everyth

    Sofia’s pov The scream that left my mouth this time was completely silent as I watched as the kneeling man who was apparently working with Ryan, fell to the ground face first after being shot by Ryan. That sent a more terrified feeling down my spine, because not only was Ryan crazy, he was clearly also heartless as hell. Seeing how he could effortless kill off his own partner made it more obvious that it wouldn’t be hard for him to kill me if he wants to, and that he wasn’t just bluffing by threatening to shoot me.“Fuck, man, you really are a freak. Your own partner?” Angelo mused with an unimpressed look on his face. Luca snorted and leveled Ryan with a look. “That’s not something a Ricci would do, you know?”“Well it’s a good thing I’m not a fucking one, okay? And now that I’ve killed my partner myself, you clearly don’t have anything to threaten me with, I have nothing to lose in this situation unlike the rest of you.” Ryan responded haughtily, sneering as he tugged on my hair.
