Luca’s POV

“You mother fucker.” Those two words were the first things James uttered as soon as he made his way into my office and shut the door. I snorted a little and Ignored him, as I continued to sort out the files on my desk, briskly putting down my signature in the required spots.

The sound of James sinking down into the seat on the other side of my table made me lift my head up a little, and my eyes locked with that of a mischievous looking James who was grinning from ear to ear and wiggling his eyebrows as well.

“What’s up with you this morning?” I asked after a few moments while lifting my hand up to use in stifling a small yawn, a thing which I had been doing almost as soon as I had gotten to the office, which was only about thirty minutes ago.

It was most definitely because I hadn’t been able to get enough sleep last night, and of course, Sofia had been the complete reason for that. Last night was the night whereby we had a dinner arrangement with Tristan and his wife alon

    Luca’s POV “Man, what was that comeback which Sofia made at me last night? I totally didn’t see that coming.” James breathed out after a few moments and I glanced up at him and placed my pen on the desk before leaning backwards against my chair, and I breathed out a snort after a few seconds.“I mean, I had been expecting her to be a little bit shy about saying something like that, I didn’t expect her to just come at me like that.” James continued and I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head in the next second.“She didn’t come at you, she literally just gave you your size, that’s all.” I started to say just as James started to shake his head.“I mean, that doesn’t happen to me a lot, I got dumbstruck for a moment back then.” He continued to speak and I nodded my head in the next second, agreeing with him instantly as I started to speak.“It was for more than a moment though, and you’re right, it doesn’t happen to you, which was honestly what made it all better.” I breat

    Luca’s POV I was in a zoom call with multiple owners of some huge companies outside of Italy and the meeting was starting to get tiring since I’ve been sitting in a spot and talking about one topic for almost an hour at this point. I started to massage my forehead with my forehead as I made sure to listen to all what one of the people here in the zoom call had started to say. I darted my gaze sideways and picked up a bottle of water in order to dry my parched throat. Before I could completely lift the bottle of water up to my lips, my phone started to ring to my annoyance.I started to ask myself why I forgot to silence my phone before this zoom meeting had started as I reached towards the spot where I had picked up the bottle of water from, and the first thing I did was to click on the side of the phone to instantly silence the phone, and as I was about to cancel the call, I stopped at the last moment and hovered my thumb over the red button which would end the call as soon a

    Luca’s POV “So, I take it you’re done?” I said to him on the phone as I shifted a little on my seat, feeling my heartbeat slowly return back to its usual steady pace.“Yeah, I finished some months ago. I’ll be coming back in two days.” He informed me and I absorbed his piece of information as I started to rack my brains to see if there was something currently ongoing which could be really dangerous for him to come home to.Armani was my little brother and I was really older than he was, it was why I was able to send him out of the country into a different country that was really far from Rome, for his own safety. At the time when our father had passed away and I had taken over him, it was as if a lot of people had been waiting for that day to come just so they could attack my brother and myself. My brother was still a lot younger than I was back then, and he wasn’t exactly cut out for the whole risky lifestyle of the mafia world. It was one of the main reasons why my father an

    Luca’s POV “No, no child yet, not anytime soon.” I said to him on a low voice and I heard a little sound coming from his side of his phone that lasted for a couple of seconds before finally dying into his background, right as he started to speak. “Oh… why then did you get married?”“That’s just to make everybody shut the fuck up.” I said to him and paused for a couple of moments before continuing. “Not like I cared about what people thought or say, but because the people that called the shots along with me were starting to get worried so I had to go indulge them, that’s all.” I informed him, not knowing how I was going to tell him about the fact that it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my entire life, and how I’ve never regretted taking Sofia as a wife. “Hm, that’s a lot more understandable, I guess.” He informed me and I chuckled a little without saying a thing in response to him. “So, what about you?” I asked in the next moment.“There’s nothing going on

    Luca’s POV I started to absorb what he had just said, knowing that he was very right to worry but those same thoughts had crossed my mind almost as soon as he had told me he’d be coming back here.“Well, I’ll start to search around to make sure everywhere is safe before he’d be able to come back here, starting from tonight, because I honestly don’t think it’s completely safe for him to just come in like this.” I said to him after a few moments and watched as he started to nod his head at me slowly in the next second.“That’s the best thing that we’re supposed to do, I’ll start to check around as well.” James said in the next second and paused then seemed to be like he was deep in thoughts, but then after a few moments, he started to speak once again. “You know, I think a lot of people think he’s already dead, don’t you think so?” James started to say and I huffed out a small laugh at his words in the next second.“Of course they had, that was the kind of thing I was going for

    Luca’s POV “Why should I?” I demanded with a small shrug of my shoulders a fleeting second after a and I watched him pick up his phone which I hadn’t noticed when he had placed it on my table, and he placed the phone into his pants pocket before lifting his head back up to stare at me once again. “You know what? You’re completely hopeless and I think we should really start going, seeing as we’ve spent a good time doing nothing in particular when we were supposed to be in a freaking meeting.” James started to say and I rolled my eyes once he was done speaking and I watched as he started to pick up some more files from my table.“You know, I was saying the same thing for a while now, but you were only interested in what goes on between my wife and I.” I reminded him slowly and watched as he rolled his eyes in the next second before starting to speak. “Well, that was actually just because I was curious and nothing more.” He admitted in the next moment as he started to shove his ha

    Sofia’s POV Today has been a long day and I had been really bored at a certain point around noon. It got to a point whereby I didn’t feel like painting anymore and just resulted in reading one of my new books right there in the middle of our bedroom upstairs. I managed to convinced Ryan into taking me to the garden at the back of the house and this time, he had tried to refuse adamantly but I didn’t back down one bit because I knew there was no way he was going to be able to call Luca and inform him about the new development, seeing as there was some things which I sometimes kept from Luca for him, and vise versa. I also knew there wasn’t any way that he’d be able to force me into following his order or trying to physically restrain me, which was why I was able to ignore him and kept on walking to the corner that led around the house until as expected, he had come forward to fall into step beside me after a couple of seconds.We managed to talk together this time at the garden un

    Sofia’s POV Well, today had been pretty cool at the garden, it wasn’t hot when we had made our way over there and I also wasn’t with any teddy bear to weigh me down as well, coupled with the fact that the sun wasn’t shining really harshly like it had done on that day.“I painted some flowers.” I managed to say after long minutes, feeling my cheeks start to heat up in the next moment because he had probably or most definitely been expecting me to say a lot of things since I waited a long time before starting to speak, only for me to finally breathe out three words.“Are you nervous?” He asked in the next moment and I started to shake my head after a little while.Was I nervous at the moment? It would seem so… and why? Well, I’d say it was because he made me feel lots of things without even trying, to begin with.“No, I’m not.” I responded with a small lift of my shoulders. I watched as his eyes dropped from my face to rest on my chest, my shoulders movements had probably made my

    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. It was relieving to finally be home and be surrounded by so much love right now ma

    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.
