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 Today was finally Sunday.The day of the art exhibition.Was I nervous? Absolutely.I flew out of the bed and hastily grabbed my phone. It was some minutes past seven in the morning, leaving me with over five hours before the exhibition is supposed to hold.The bed was empty as expected, even though I was sure Luca hasn’t left the house.He never goes anywhere on most Sundays, and before things had suddenly changed between us, Luca would stay in bed with me and keep me there with him with cuddles. But, I wasn’t surprised to meet the bed empty this morning, I couldn’t even remember the last time I woke up to see him beside him, while his arms would be around me.I splashed water over my face in the bathroom in briefly wondered about what could actually be the main problem between us.I knew that communication was the greatest key between couples, and had tried a few times to get him to speak to me about what was wrong. I gave up after a few trials when he’d only apolo

Luca’s POV I held the door open for Sofia and then I slid into the seat after her. It was a little bit past the time which we were supposed to have already been on the way to the location for the arts exhibition.I had left home early this morning, not just because there were some last minutes preparations to get in places, and it was definitely not because I wanted to be away from her to avoid sinking further into guilt… it was because I had went to construct a quick sweep around the location and to station my men in different areas for utmost protection.I could already tell that one of my stupid, dumb enough enemies was definitely going to want to try something stupid today, and I was going to teach them a big lesson for that.I glanced at Sofia who was in a simple looking hoodie and a small flared skirt. She was going to get dressed at the venue, another reason why I should definitely have arrived home earlier than I had done some time ago.There was so much I wanted to do right

Luca’s POV I did a double take.Alexa was dressed in a yellow and black dress that clung to all her curves like a glove. She was dressed to attract attention like a moth to a flame. I had no idea what to make of her unexpected appearance to begin with.I had no idea she even knew about Sofia’s art launch, but then again, the news had spread like wild fire through the mafia, so that could explain why she was here.My main concern right now, was why she was currently here.She was standing before a few large paintings hanging off one side of the wall. A few people were also checking out the paintings as well, but it was obvious that unlike Alexa, those people didn’t come here alone.I glanced around for Sofia and puffed out a small breath on seeing her talking with one of the ministers of the company and his wife about one of her paintings, with her two guards standing a few feet away from her. She was being thoroughly guarded which was just right. Taking that as my cue,

Luca’s POV “Fucking shit.” I quietly cursed beneath my breath, a dark scowl settled on my face right after.James had his lips pursed into a thin line, and he didn’t look impressed.He never liked Lola, throughout the time we hooked up back then, and he never bothered to hide it. Travis arrived at my other side and slung his arm over my shoulder.“What’s up dudes? Let’s go have some drinks, we haven’t had anything to drink since we all arrived here.” Travis spoke up but when I turned sideways to glance at him, he instantly knew something was off.“Shit. What’s wrong?” He demanded. I remained silent, not knowing how best to respond, but James spoke up on my behalf soon enough.“See that woman over there with his wife, she used to hook up with Luca some years back.”“Oh damn. What the hell is she looking for here? Or is she friends with Luca now?” Travis murmured with his eyes never leaving Lola and Sofia, who to Luca’s horror, were both giggling at something together.“Hell

Sofia’s POV I watched as Luca hastiky walked away, all the way to the outside of the hall where the exhibition was being held in. A troubled feeling settled over me a little.It was obvious that something had happened, something important enough for his guards to come summoned him so abruptly.I really hope nothing happens that might ruin today.I turned around and made my way forward, smiling at a few people who were waving at me. This was one of the reasons why I was really grateful for Luca’s presence.He had always been wary about this being safe when I had first pitched my idea to him, and him being here today in order to guard the entire place with his men and ensure that nothing goes wrong, made me feel really happy and less worried.Even though things were not as it used to be before, I’m glad that he was here right now today, doing this. Proving that even though we were not on the best talking terms, my safety is still utmost priority to him.Kayla rushed towards me and eng

Sofia’s pov ‘What could they want?’ I quietly asked myself as I drew a welcoming smile on my face, hoping that it appeared real and genuine, and not tired and exhausted like I actually feel right now.I’ve never talked to so much people one on one in the span of a few hours in my entire life. It was really overwhelming then I had anticipated.I don’t regret doing this exhibition. It left so much joy and satisfaction in my heart, but perhaps next time I’d be hosting this– which wouldn’t be anytime soon, I’d put a limit to people who’d be able to come in, that way, it wouldn’t get this crowded, and wouldn’t overwhelm me this way.“Hello there, I’m Sofia Ricci, the artist whom you’ve come to see today. I assume you’ve taken a look around, are there any paintings in particular which stood out to you?” I said in a single breath and I watched as the three women all exchanged looks amongst themselves.One of them, the one standing in the middle, whose hair was styled in a really high bun,

Luca’s POV After heading outside with the two perplexed looking guards, even before I emerged outside, I already knew that something had happened, coupled with the few words the guards had said to me, just when I had been about to say something in response to what Sofia had said about her needing to thank me. James had his gun out, along with Travis, and at soon as I made my way outside, I hastily whipped out my gun while regarding the unfolding scene carefully.Men clad in black and red where pouring in from different directions, jumping over the electric fence effortlessly, making it obvious that the electrocution projected into the wires atop the fence has definitely been disabled. James, Travis and the guards were taking care of the men, but they were starting to get outnumbered.I motioned for some of the guards to go watch over the people in the hall and prevent them from coming out. I also motioned for some other guards to go check the other side of the hall to ensure

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.
