Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 383
Sofia’s pov The ride home was extremely silent. I couldn’t believe that the air between Luca and I could get any tenser, but tonight has proved my thoughts wrong. I was angry, definitely.Who wouldn’t be angry by the blatant show of disrespect. Excusing to go talk to the woman whom I had just introduced to him only a few hours ago – whatever it is that he went to ssy to her couldn’t be voiced out in my presence?I was very angry, and hurt.I don’t have a problem with Lola. She probably didn’t mean any harm. My main problem was Luca now.I kept to myself and alighted the car as soon as it drove into the compound, hastily making my way into the house. I was about to climb off the stairs when Luca, probably sensing that something was wrong, stopped me with a hand on my wrist.“Can I help you with something?” I asked, keeping my voice as neutral as possible.He fidgeted for a few moments before finally shaking his head.“What’s wrong?” He finslly asked and Sofia let out a started

Sofia’s pov Once again, before I could begin to climb up the stairs, Luca stopped me with his hand on my wrist, stopping me from moving an inch forward.And after that, I refused to turn back around back to stare at him, because I didn’t want him to see that this entire thing was getting to me this way.I didn’t want him to see the tears already starting to gather in my eyes. I didn’t want him to see how weak I was, and kinda pathetic.But, he kept tugging me around until I gave in and turned around, eyes plastered to the ground. I didn’t see his hand come around until I felt his hand move beneath my chin really lightly to tip my face over until I was staring up at him.I hastily tried to blink my eyes in order to hide the tears, but that was a wrong move because it only made the tears roll down my cheeks really slowly.The shock that took over Luca’s face almost immediately was almost comical.“Why are you crying?” He asked, voice quiet as he reached up to thumb one of the teardrop

Luca’s pov This night had taken an entire different turn than I had anticipated, to my utmost shock. I thought to myself as I sank into the chair in my office. That had been where I had ran into because I couldn’t bring myself to go up to the bedroom along with Sofia.Not only have I managed to make things even worse between us, I’ve managed to hurt her so much in the process.If I had continue to kiss her and touch her like I usually do, then I’d have been feeling guilty that I was touching her intimately with the same hands I had used to touch another woman.Never have I felt this much conflicted in my entire life, and Lola’s sudden, unexpected arrival to my club tonight, had only made things so much worse for me tonight.I had promised myself that I was going to give her a toast tonight and try to make her feel really good about herself, and to offer her emotional support which I knew damn well that I should have shown her throughout the whole of today. I had told mysel

James’ pov I was currently heading back home from the club. The streets was still filled to the brim and there was unfortunately some traffic as well, which is quite expected since today is a Saturday.Unsurprisingly, my head was filled up with so much thoughts of Blair.In all honesty, I hadn’t wanted to leave her all by herself in my large ass house, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t bring her with me to Sofia’s art exhibition this morning, because she was literally going through so much at the moment, it was obvious that the last thing she’d want now is to go somewhere filled with crowds.When I had woken up this morning, I had first gone to check in on her. After witnessing her sobbing in the midnight before I had comforted her until she fell asleep. She had been wide awake when I got there that morning, and the shattered look in her eyes had literally made my heart crumble in that moment.It was the exact reason as to why I had arrived late at the art exhibiti

James’ pov I was burning up with rage.Not just because these stupid guys had thought it was wide enough to try to catch me off guard this way. I was more annoyed about this being such a bad timing. I was looking forward to going home to Blair, and now this was happening.Fucking hell.I glanced out the rearview mirror once again and saw the guys on the mother bike staring to pull even closer to my car. The one riding the bike was very fast, and the one behind him who was shooting the gun at my car, had a mask over his head. They both do.I wonder why they haven’t shoot at my tires. That’s the first thing they’re supposed to do if they wanted to catch me so bad, unless perhaps they hope I’d come in with some accident while trying to outrun them.Just how dumb can these people get?It seems like people have began to underestimate me too much cause what the hell is this.I slowly pulled to a stop while reaching for the guns beneath my suit jackets, taking off the safety instantly

James’ pov I made sure the water was in a warm temperature before running the napkin beneath it, and then I existed the bathroom in the guest room which Blair was currently occupying. I walked over to the spot at the foot of her bed which was still huddled in, and then I crouched beside her.She glanced at me without saving a thing, and then she slowly averted her gaze. She thankfully wasn’t crying any longer but she was as silent as a night, and I didn’t like it.I gently held her chin as I dabbed her face, cleaning off the tearstreaks on her cheeks. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were flushed, but that didn’t her look less beautiful than she usually does – instead, they made her appear cute and soft as hell.I returned the napkin and fetched her a cup of water, which she only took a sip from.I puffed out a long exhale as I sank back into the spot beside her, but I made sure there was some space left between us this time, because I wasn’t sure she’d appreciate me crow

James’ pov We didn’t continue to talk after that, and once again, the silence that stretched out between us wasn’t an awkward or uncomfortable one.I told her I’d be back soon and went to check my phone which I left on my bed in my haste to go check in on Blair after I had arrived home and had taken a shower.There was a few notifications from my private number, some were from Luca, which I opened immediately.Luca; Things has somehow gotten even worse between my wife and I.I checked the time that message had been sent, realizing that it had been sent almost an hour ago. He must have probably thought I was banging some chick, which is definitely why he had refrained from calling me after not getting a response to that text, and the other couple of texts he had sent to me.Luca; I feel like a really bad person. Like a really terrible husband.Luca; I don’t even know what to do man. I’m going crazy at this point.I let out an exhale as I read through those texts while slowly s

James’ pov The next morning wasn’t all that awkward.It really wasn’t.As soon as I woke up, I let out a small yawn and carefully sat up. My back cracked as I stretched my arms around side by side for a few moments. It didn’t take long for the last images from last night to begin to flood my head, and I let out a small sigh as I glanced sideway at a peacefully sleeping Blair.Her body would definitely be hurting this morning as soon as she wakes up. I thought to myself as I let out another yawn.After she had fallen asleep against me last night, I had carried on with watching the horror movie on my own, but I genuinely hadn’t been paying much attention to it, seeing as all that was in my mind throughout those minutes, was no one but Blair.After some time, in which I had made sure Blair had fallen asleep really deeply against me, I finally decided to move.I moved us over, maneuvering her lithe body around before carefully laying her on the rug at the foot of the couch.

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.
