James’ pov From all that I had expected Blair to say, I hadn’t for a moment assumed that this could end up being what she’d say. It had taken me completely by surprise. It also didn’t help that I just knew that she was being honest right now. Perhaps, it was the way her voice wavered at some point, or it could be the way the pain was strongly etched on her face.“Blair, I –” I began to speak, but she quickly shook her head without glancing up.“There’s no need for that.” She said, voice flat, but the emotions were right there, underneath her voice.“I’m sorry I shouted at you that day, I hate that I’m the cause of your trauma back then. I had no idea that was the cause of your fainting spell, I really am sorry.” I murmured, pointedly ignoring her statement.“It’s okay, that was in the past.” She spoke once again.“It still doesn't make it okay.” I pointed out.“It wasn’t just your voice that made me faint, my phobia is for extremely loud noises. Although the shout had someth

Luca’s pov “Did you ever stop for a moment to consider the consequences of going against me?” My hand was wrapped around a glass of champagne which I wasn’t going to be tasting as I asked the question of the other two men in the list of my underbosses, who had decided to go against me, along with Mr. Romeo, whom I had thoroughly dealt with.“What are you talking about, sir?” The first one asked with a chuckle that was so dry and fake, it grated on my nerves.“Are you really asking me that?” I demanded in a calm voice while looking between both men. They were clearly starting to get scared, having already figured out that I already know what’s actually going on.Wnen neither of them responded, I shook my head a little and barked out a laugh that startled them so far, one of them managed to spill their drink.“I’d like the both of you to be aware of the fact that my time is too precious for me to waste it unnecessarily on you guys right now.” I murmured with a slight tilt of my

James’ pov I nodded my head once.“She is.” I murmured in a low voice with my eyes fixed on the glass which is still held In my hand.Luca let out an audible sigh which made me glance up at him, making our eyes meet, and in that moment, something flashed in his eyes, right before he continued to speak.“You know, we never really liked the fact that we had to suffer the consequences of things our parents did, things our father did; rather.” As he spoke, he dragged his face over his face for a moment and I nodded my head once again.“We hated it so much. We wished that wasn’t how it works, but that was how it unfortunately works.” He paused for a moment.“But, like I said before, she is different, and we aren’t going to fault her for her parents’ past actions.” As he spoke, I felt my chest expand a little in relief.If Luca hasn’t been accepting of Blair, that would undoubtedly stir some problems between us, because there’s no way I can bring myself to let go of Blair now, and

James’ pov “Hm, you sound kind of obsessed.” She breathed out with a small giggle and I rolled my eyes, feeling my chest well up with so many emotions at once as I pulled her forward until her head was resting on my shoulder, and my arm around her waist. I breathed in a deep breath before speaking softly. “Yeah, perhaps you’re right, maybe I really am obsessed.” Blake giggled once again, moving against me in a way that made my blood stir.“You don’t sound sure.” She pointed out and I pulled her away from the embrace until she was staring into my face once again.“I am obsessed.” I murmured, all traces of unseriousness wiped off my face. She blinked a few times before reaching out and wrapping her palm against my cheeks.“Well, that makes two of us,” She declared with a small eyeroll and I let out a fond huff as I pulled her into my arms once again, rolling around until we rolled off the couch to the ground.“You’re heavy.” She whined and shoved me off her with a fake scowl,

James’ pov “What? Of course not.” I argued.“Why then did you still refuse to mention it?” She shut back, looking genuinely hurt.“It was because… because…”“You can’t even come up with any actual explanation.” She pointed out and I let out a long sigh, while wishing we aren’t having this right now.The dinner has been going so damn smoothly between us, only for her to bring up this topic from nowhere. I knew me asking her to put it aside for later would be unfair of me, and so I let out another sigh.I had actually already been contemplating on how to table it to her, I had just been very unsure of how to go about it.“I didn't want to scare you off.” I finally admitted, watching as she narrowed her eyes at me while scoffing.“You know I’m a grown ass woman, right? What could scare me off more than me figuring out shit like this on my own, huh?” She shot back, and the hurt was stack obvious on her face, it made me wince a little while looking for anything which I could use

Sofia’s pov I was currently dusting my shoes in our walk in closet when Luca emerged in the doorway. He leaned against it with his hands deep in his pockets as he commented on how he hated that I have to stress to do something as simple as dusting my own shoes. “Are you sure you really do not want us to hire another househelp?” Luca wondered as he walked towards me and I rolled my eyes as I halted for a moment.Luca has suggested we hire another househelp a handful of times, and each time he brings it up, I’m always quick to refuse the suggestion, because I don’t think I’d be comfortable with a complete stranger coming into our house just yet.And a huge part of me still misses Sarah and still hopes she’d recover completely and be able to resume back here, but I knew that was most likely nothing but wistful thoughts.“I am. It's no big deal for me to do something as simple as this.” I reminded him as I waved the brush I was working on, for emphasis. The slight movement made dus

Sofia’s pov “Hyacinth…?” The name spilled past my lips before I could stop it and without glancing sideways at Luca, I felt how he threw me a look. Surprise filled James face at once, but as expected, recognizable dawned on James’ guest face.“I mean princess Hyacinth.” I hastily corrected myself while silently berating myself for the error of addressing her without her required title. A bashful look crossed her face as she shook her head while taking a step forward.“Oh no, that’s not necessary. And, it’s no longer ‘Hyacinth’, now it’s just Blair.” She responded in a voice that had matured from how it remembered how it sounded the last time I heard it.Her usual signature long hair is now chopped off to shoulder length, and even though that sort of gave her a new look, I’d still be able to recognize her face anywhere, which is probably because I still hold the encounter I had with her in the past till date.—- I was fifteen then.We had all been invited to the queen’s b

Sofia’s pov The sudden urge to visit the beach once again has definitely got to because of my birthday which had happened a few weeks ago.I never used to ever think about visiting the beach, having not been allowed to except on rare occasions while growing up, and on those rare occasions, I was hovered on throughout the entire time by my bodyguards.I was currently seated in the hair salon, one of the biggest one here in Italy. As soon as the stylists had recognized who I was, they treated me with utmost respect and all wanted to be friends with me at once, which I found extremely endearing.I’m currently getting my hair done, getting it curled professionally this time, and so far, they’re doing a better job than I had done on my hair a couple of weeks ago.“Do you care for a drink, ma’am? It’s on the house.” One of the stylists came forward and as she spoke, she shook the glass of wine a little.I gave a polite shake of my head as I responded. “Aw, I really wish I could, bu

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.
