Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 366
Sofia’s pov Luca was leaning against the doorframe, with his hands folded around his middle for only God knows how long. His curls were in disarray, framing his face and sticking out in different directions, making it obvious that he had pulled the hell out of it throughout the whole of today.His face was expressionless, but there was a slight pinch of skin on his forehead, proving that he was deep in thought. I couldn’t help but swallow emptily, the sound echoing around in my head like it had echoed through the entire sitting room.I didn’t know what to say, and so I averted my gaze and glance around the sitting room for a minute.On a normal day, he’d have been eager to have his hands on me. It doesn’t even have to be sexual, sometimes he just want to hold me in his arms to reassure himself that I was safe and sound in here, away from all dangers– his words, not mine.But now, I wasn’t sure of how to react.Do I just wave at him without getting up from the couch? Or do I walk

Sofia’s pov My heart beat accelerated a thousand folds as I felt Luca’s firm grip around my wrist. His grip made me instantly half in a single spot as I gulped emptily. I glanced up at him after a moment to lock eyes with him, and unsurprisingly, his gaze was way more intense than it was before.I averted my gaze after a moment, feeling like all my feelings were currently being exposed to him. I felt vulnerable in a way, and I hated that feeling so much right now, because I wasn’t sure of what was currently happening between Luca and I, or where I stand in his life.I tried to pull my wrist out of his grip after a few more moments of silence had passed, but his grip was still firm around mine, making me swallow emptily once again.“Um, please let me go.” I mumbled without glancing up at him, not wanting him to see my face because I knew how I tend to reveal everything I was feeling on my face, and I didn’t want to do that right now to avoid feeling more vulnerable that I curren

Luca’s POV If guilt could kill, I’m sure I’d have been six foot under at this point.Never have I felt this level of guilt in my life before, and I knew I was only making things worse by pulling away from Sofia.But, it wasn’t like I could control myself to no longer feel disgusted with myself any longer each time I was around her.This was such a foreign feeling for me. Never have I known that I’d ever be in this kind of situation, caused by no one but myself.With my hands still stroking Sofia’s upper arm right now, it felt like that had rendered some sort of peace over me. When I had finally get to hug her some time ago, it felt like that single thing had put a stop to the uproar of emotions that had been going up in my head throughout the whole of today.When Alexa had called me some days ago back at the office and I had Informed her not to call me any longer, she called me again and I blocked her from reaching me without even hesitating. Each day, I had barely been able t

Luca’s POV I felt like I had gone back in time in a way, since I was doing what I used to before– before Sofia and I had gotten emotionally and physically closer.I was currently hovering over her, watching her as she sleeps.She looked so peaceful right now, with her mouth slightly parted go puff out air every few seconds. The sight made my chest ache.After Sofia fell asleep in the music, I continued to play the piano, because it brought me peace in a way.There was once a time where the piano was one of my outlet, although that changed when Armani left for Los Angeles.More like I sent him to Los Angeles.The fact that my father had somehow found the time to make sure Armani and I learnt how to play a few music instruments amidst the entire Mafia trailing while growing up was crazy to me, but father made it work out in a way, and it did work out.He had claimed he wanted us to master those things, as well as multiple languages in order to be like some sort of jack of all trad

James’ pov I drove as fast as I could, cursing the city’s traffic beneath my breath while at it.I loosened my tie and exhaled deeply as I slowed to a halt in accordance to the traffic light.I had already planned myself today.I had planned to head over to Blair’s as soon as we round up the mafia’s meeting tonight. I just hadn’t anticipated that the meeting was going to take this long.That wasn’t the reason why I was currently running late. It’s because I had stayed in with Luca even after the meeting had been over.I couldn’t help it.I was worried about my best friend.Ever since the deed which he did with Alexa, he sort of slowly spiraled into some sort of down casted and depressed head state. It didn’t help that he had been loyal to his wife since he began to feel something for her, that was what made him feel really bad with himself.I guess I do understand him in a way. But I couldn’t help but still be lost about how he was feeling. Perhaps it was because I’ve never

James’ pov “So, can you tell me about yourself?” I asked after shooting her a quick look. It was hard for me to keep my eyes off her, but I was trying to not let myself be too obvious.It’s usually extremely hard for me to keep my eyes off her on a normal day, and now that she was dressed up than what I was used to seeing, was making my thoughts all jumbled up in my head.I already expected the scoff before it spilled past her delectable looking lips.“Why are you so curious about me?” She demanded, and for the hundredth time, I also asked myself that question in my head, and unfortunately, I’ve been unable to get a response to that question since.“I have no idea, I just am.” I responded honestly but she snort that left her mouth next proved that she didn’t believe me.“Well, stop being curious about me, I won’t tell you shit.”“Are you from around here?” I continued.She pursed her lips and refused to answer that. I didn’t know what to make of her response, so I decided to drop

James’ pov I have a whole lot of questions.I couldn’t help but feel confused and lost, I wasn’t sure of what it was that had actually happened. One moment, we were both entering the restaurant and had been able to head over to their table, only for everything to turn around in the blink of an eye.I shot a quick glance at Blair and felt something shift inside of me. Something was definitely terribly wrong.Blair was hunched over and sobbing into her palm, the sobs were hard enough to wrack through her entire body, and the sound made my inside twist in a very bad way.Because I was already sure that she wasn’t going to appreciate me trying to touch her in order to comfort her, I stuck to driving her back home and keeping silent.I had a lot of things to ask. I was now curious about a lot of things, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask her any of the questions in my head right now, seeing as she was literally falling apart.The fact that I hadn’t even cared about the fact that the

Blair’s pov I had been looking forward to the dinner with James since the last one, even though I’d never admit it out loud. Perhaps, it was the because of the constant loneliness that I’m always getting engulfed in, but then I knew deep down that, that wasn’t the only reason.But, one thing I couldn’t deny, was the fact that I was very lonely.I was currently seated in the passenger seat while he drove towards where I’d assume was his house.When he had requested I come home with him, I had only declined half heartedly, while being really relived deep down, because I really didn’t want to be alone right now, and being in James’ presence always leave me in some sort of emotions that I cannot really describe yet.I glanced at him just as he threw me a quick look. He smiled at me reassuringly and reached out to take my hand in his, while his other hand controlled the steering wheel effortlessly.I felt my stomach flip as his large hand enveloped mine, and a small shiver slide ov

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.
