Luca’s POV

I would be lying if I dare claim to be surprised after waking up with tiredness weighing down my muscles really heavily, seeing as I had only gone to sleep late into the night and early morning.

It was a Sunday morning, which I was really glad about, bed that way, I didn’t have to actually leave the house today.

After the drama that had broken out between Sofia and I last night, I’m very sure I wouldn’t be in the mood to leave the house today.

In all honesty, I just want to end this whole thing with her so we’d be able to go back to being how we used to be before.

I let out a small sigh and tugged on the roots of my hair as I slowly sat on on the bed. Even before I glanced at the space beside me on the bed, I could already tell that Sofia wasn’t in bed with me any longer.

I briefly wonder what her reaction had been after she woke up to see me laying in bed.

Had she been pleased by that? Or annoyed? Or irritated?

When I had made my way up here at around 3 a.m. in the

    Luca’s POV The shock that had descended over me had been from my shock and unexpectedness of the situation, and nothing more. I was quickly able to shake the shock off my shoulders, and both individuals had broken out of the hug and were looking at me.Feeling put in the spotlight when I least expected, I awkwardly cleared my throat.“You don’t need to stop because of me, I was leaving right away anyway.” I called out and turned around to exist the bedroom but Armani stopped me instantly.“What? Why are you leaving? C’mon in!” He called out and I regarded Sofia for a few moments.It was the first time I was laying my eyes on her today, and the sheer beauty of her face made my breath slow down at the first few seconds. She had on a large sweater that’s literally swallowing her up right now, and a pair of soft looking pants, while her hair was rolled up in a loose bun.She didn’t look at me. Her eyes were averted the entire time, which was a reminder that I needed to fix the t

    Luca’s POV James didn’t pick the call, probably because he’s still asleep from hangover, and so I shot him a couple of texts and decided to get some work done now that I was in here.Today was a Sunday, but it didn’t mean I wouldn’t be working from home at all. I usually work on Sunday before Sofia’s presence in my life, and even after he presence in my life at first, I only stopped once we began to get closer and all of that.Now that I find myself going back to this, it made me shudder in distaste at the thought of going back to how I used to act around her in the past.That only made me feel more determined to have that conversation with her today, and I was going to do just that.But, for now, I’m going to be getting some work done.I needed to carry out some more research, and I also needed to make some important phone calls. There are a lot of bad guys roaming around, waiting to catch me off guard, while some were obviously planning lots of things at once against me.Which is

    Luca’s pov Sofia met us in that state.No one had noticed her presence until a gasp tore out of her throat, and then in the next moment, she was zapping towards Sarah to gently envelop her in her arms.“What happened to you?” She cried out against Sarah’s head and I watched as she broke down as soon as Matilda, eager as ever, explained all that had happened in details to Sofia without wasting time.“Oh my gosh, Sarah, you shouldn’t have overworked yourself! You should have said something all these while. You should have requested for a break or for some tone off, Luca would have given it to you immediately.” Sofia admonished as she gently rocked Sarah in her arms.“I suggested she did just that, but you know how stubborn she is.” Matilda pointed out.“I’m not that sick, and besides, you need me here, Armani needs me here. He just got back, he –”“No, Sarah. Yes, we do need you, but never at the expense of your health. Armani wouldn’t be happy should he be informed that you’re in

    Luca’s POV At breakfast, it thankfully wasn’t awkward.There was silence, a whole lot of it, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.I had finally thrown a shirt on while the table had been getting set, and now, here I was, sitting at the table with Sofia and eating breakfast at early noon.It’s been a whole long since I last had breakfast with her, and I silently berated myself over how I had let this thing between us to drag out.There was none of the usual giggles that would be echoing around the table as we eat and flirt, like we usually do back then. Now, none of that was happening. The only thing that’s echoing around the dining room is the lights sounds of our cutleries meeting the plates.Although the silence wasn’t uncomfortable or awkward, I’d still like it if we were talking a little.I subtly glanced up at Sofia. She was gingerly cutting into her pancake and as she slip it into her mouth, her eyes caught mine and color instantly rushed into her cheeks, and then she averted he

    Luca’s pov “I did something.” I echoed once again.The confusion was start obvious on Sofia’s face and so I decided to continue.“I know you’re probably confused now.” I pointed out and she nodded her head.“Yeah, I am.” She supplied and I nodded my head slowly.I’m really doing this. I whispered to myself in my head as I made to speak.“This thing which I did, is making me feel hella… guilty.” I paused and carefully regarded the emotions on her face. Apart from confusion, there was nothing else on her face. “It has been eating me up from the inside, which made me pull away from you.” I pause once again.“Me pulling away from you, was none of your fault. That was all on me, it was all on the inner turmoil always going on in my head.” I paused once again and exhaled deeply. “And, I don’t like that at all. I didn’t like any of it.” I glanced at her and our eyes locked. Apart from the confusion swimming around in her large eyes, there was nothing else in there, and I felt myse

    Sofia’s pov I was angry.The anger I was currently feeling was one too thick that I had to force my throat in a swallow in order to push the lump out of my throat.I glanced out the car’s window, watching as the world whirled past in fast seconds and then I sucked in a deep breath.Why was I even angry?” I asked myself on a small exhale, as I glanced down at my fingers laying on my thighs.The conversation with Luca had started off very well. It had been going pretty fine, until he refused to tell me the reason for the start of everything.He shouldn’t have said he wanted to talk about it, if he knew he wasn’t going to talk about it all the way.And I knew I had a right to be angry in a situation like this, hence my anger.I had even gone ahead to explain to him how it was only going to make me start to overthink if he wouldn’t tell me everything all the way, but he still hadn’t wanted to tell me.Hence my anger.I wasn’t even sure of what had actually overcame me when I had

    Luca’s POV After Sofia left, I went back into the bedroom and laid over the bed, reflecting over the conversation which we’ve just had.The only problem about the conversation was the fact that I hadn’t told her the reason for my pulling away from her. But, there was no way I could actually tell her. Which was why I had agreed to let her go out, right in the middle of the conversation.Which, if I had been her dom, would have been extremely disrespectful and would be her asking for some punishment.But, she didn’t know about that dynamic yet, and what’s currently on ground is something really serious.I didn’t even bother reaching out to James cause I wasn’t in the mood to talk. All I really wanted to do right now, was to hold Sofia in my arms and fall asleep on her soft thighs while her small hands run through my hair.I let out a small sigh as I turned around on the bed, lying on my side. The bedroom feels empty and deserted in a way, and I didn’t like how it felt.A lot of

    Sofia’s pov “Stay down.” Luca husked out and I gulped, nodding my head hastily while an intense feeling of fear clog up my wind pipe, making it hard for me to suck breaths into my lungs. A few more gunshots echoed in the sky, along with the sounds of glass shattering, making me scared to my bones. The soft look which had been on Luca’s face moments ago was nowhere to be found, and in its place, laid a very blank and stoic facial expression that had me biting on my bottom lip nervously.As he unwrapped his arms from around my waist, a gust of wind hit me from nowhere in the next fleeting moment, making it seem like Luca’s arms around me was all it took to keep the cold away from me completely.With my heart in my throat, I watched as Luca pulled out two guns from his body, along with a few knives. I gulped once again, flinching when a few more gunshots echoed out in the open air.“L- luca–” I began to speak in a small shaky voice, while trying my best to stop myself from tre

    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.
