Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 489
Sofia’s pov My eyes widened in shock as his words washed over me and continued to reecho in my head over and over again.A small, almost regretful looking smile tugged at Luca’s lips as he regarded me for a few heartbeats while giving my hand little squeezes.“Why is it a surprise to you?” He asked, voice soft and eyes sincere. “I thought it was pretty obvious.”I gulped emptily and contemplated on what to actually say, because it felt like my brain had shut down. “I- I didn’t know…” I whispered and once again, Luca chuckled.“I had no idea either, until it dawned on me.” He hesitated for a moment. “I think I’ve been in love with you for a really long while. It just didn’t actually dawn on me because I never considered it.”And then voice took a bitter tone as he continued. “I just wished I had done this in a better moment. I didn’t say this right now in order to make you give me all your trust at once, that wasn’t the case at all.”“I wasn’t even planning on saying that. The o

Sofia’s pov It’s been a week since I returned home, and dare I say that I had fallen for Luca even more. A part of mind didn’t hesitate to point out that I shouldn’t allow myself to keep falling for him, but I make sure to shove that voice out of my head each time it decides to show up.Things didn’t drastically change from how it used to be between the two of us. It only got better, when I didn’t even think it could get better.Luca has been at home with me most of the time, choosing to keep skipping work, although he keeps visiting the mafia whenever his presence was greatly needed.Luca never missed any opportunity to remind me that he cared for me so much. He apologized so much till I asked him not to bother apologizing at a point.He takes his sweet time to remind me of how much I mean to him, which leaves me an overwhelmed mess most of the time. Luca and I didn’t really go out since I returned home, it was like he wanted me all to himself here in the house, and it wasn’

Sofia’s pov “I can’t believe you took your husband back.”Those words pierced through the heavy silence, leaving me reeling from shock because that wasn’t what I had expected him to say at all.I sucked in a deep breath and waited a few moments before clearing my throat. “Huh?” I muttered, because that was all I could come up with. Ryan only shrugged his shoulders while continuing to drive the car, as he repeated himself.“I can’t believe you accepted Luca back.” After I returned home, I had barely exchanged only a handful of words with him because I remained indoors throughout and Luca was always around to keep me company.Although today, I had wanted to pay Kayla a visit and my two bodyguards had accompanied me there. Now, on returning home, Ethan had to run an errand for Luca, leaving me and Ryan to ourselves.The ride felt hella awkward, and I wasn’t sure of how to break the awkwardness and start a conversation, which left me guled to my phone while hoping that we wou

Sofia’s pov I stared at Luca’s hand for a moment once again before focusing on his face and letting out an hesitant exhale.Luca grinned as he dangled the folded material in his grip and then he inched closer to me. I felt my breath hitch in my throat at how close we currently were. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been in this particular position, nor does it matter how long I’ve been married to Luca, I still manage to feel flustered by him, and I’m sure he’s immensely pleased by the effect he has on me.“Curious?” He asked and I shook my head, which made him laugh some more as his arms easily slid around my waist to tug me closer. “I know you are, I can see your curiosity over your face.” He pointed out and I let out a small huff as I tried to reach his hand which he raised high, away from my reach.“I’m not.” I insisted as I tried to reach for his hand once again. Luba regarded me for a few moments before letting his hand lower into my reach. I retrieved the folded t

Sofia’s pov It’s been a full month and a week since the horrible phase of me leaving the house in anger after discovering I once cheated on me. Since that time, it was as if we grew closer and closer as the day passed by, and I loved every second of it and would never ask for anything else. It was as if I fell more in love with Luca everyday, that it was almost insane to dwell upon. I’ve been in love with him for a really long while and it has always left me breathless each time he said those words to me. When he had said those words to me that first time, it had still left me in shock even into the very next day, but when he repeated those same words to me the next day at nighttime, and the day after that day, was when it actually began to fully sink in.Of course I ended up saying the words back, because I loved him too, and have loved him for a longer time than he can ever imagine. The shock that crossed his face after I said the words back to him one night was almost c

Sofia’s pov “You can’t be serious about liking that movie.” Zander exclaimed, sounding completely outraged while I snickered away.“Why not? It’s a good movie. And besides, it’s not my fault that you hate romance.” I pointed out and he rolled his eyes before leaving forward, face a cape of seriousness.“I dont hate romance, don’t get me wrong, but everything in life has its limit, you know?”I shook my head adamantly. “Definitely not romance! Romance is limitless.”Zander shook his head once again. “I believe it gets cringe really fast, that’s why movies or stories centered on just romance tend to bore me out really fast.” “I think that’s because you’re a hater of that genre, because no sane person should ever tire of romance.” I reminded him as I reached for my drink and began to thumb the straw. Zander sighed from exasperation, which made me dissolve in laughter once again.“I don’t hate romanc–… ugh, never mind, you’d never agree with me anyway.” He whined while leaning ag

Sofia’s pov “I was sent back here on a mission.” Came a weakened voice, followed by a cough. Luca had motioned for one of his guards to keep delivering punches to a particular spot in his stomach until whenever he was ready to start confessing. After that incident at the park, a call was instantly put through to Luca and he demanded that I be brought back home at once. Unfortunately for Zander, Luca took the day off to rest at home, which means he’d have more time to torture him today.Looking at Zander’s face made me feel so much pain, which was why I chose to sit in the front of the car instead. “Can you please look at me, Sofia? Please?” He began as soon as we began to drive towards home, and when he kept on trying again and again after I ignored him, Ryan who was seated behind a tied up Zander to ensure he didn't try to escape, ended up gagging him with a part of his own shirt.The expression on Luca’s face was very gloomy when the car pulled out of the house. After Z

Sofia’s pov As I sat in the bathtub that night, my mind could only focus on what Ryan had revealed to me.It still felt unbelievable that he had gone ahead to murder Zander. I wasn’t sure of what to make of that, but I know I need to tell Luca about it.The problem here is that if I go ahead and tell Luca, there’s no way he won’t connect the dots and realize that Ryan likes me romantically, and Luca isn’t gonna like that one bit. Despite how much Ryan was starting to make me feel a little uneasy around him, it doesn’t mean I wanna lose him forever and should words of Zander getting killed by Ryan get to Luca, then all hell is gonna break loose.As I toweled myself dry, I came to a firm conclusion, I’m gonna keep it to myself and just keep on observing him. If he gets any weirder than this, then I’m definitely gonna go to Luca and spill it all to him. With a long sigh, I exited the bathroom.~~~ The days passed in a blur. I was as happy as i can get. I made sure to hang out with my

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.
