Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 498
Sofia’s pov “This is so much fun!” Kayla shrieked in my face as she bounced sideways, pulling me along with her. I easily let my body go with the beat, because I was indeed feeling so much fun.“You were right about this being fun.” I admitted breathlessly and Kayla grinned in satisfaction while spinning on her toes. When she texted me to ask me if I’d like to come out to a fair with her, I hesitated because I wasn’t sure of what to expect. I haven’t visited one before which was why I had declined at first, but Kayla reassured me that it was going to be fun, and so I agreed to come out with her today, on a Friday evening.Thanks to Kayla who made sure we were both dressed appropriately, we were able to easily blend in.We got a few snacks and munched on them while enjoying the entertainment of the atmosphere. Everywhere was bubbling and everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun. We spent over two hours there till the sky began to darken, and that was when Kayla and I finally parted

RYAN’S POV [HIS FIRST POV EVER] As I stood still while watching Sofia scramble backwards, something akin to satisfaction settled in the middle of my chest. I regarded the tremble that wracked through her small body when her back hit the wall behind her. As I inched closer to her, she held a small, trembling hand out and frantically shook her head. “D- don’t come closer.” She whispered shakily, and I’d be pretending if I claimed to not have felt a sharp stab in my soul. I never wanted her to be scared of me. All I wanted was to finally have all to myself, safe and all mine. Her being scared of me was definitely not a part of the plan.“You don’t have to be scared of me, Sofia. You know I’d never hurt you, right?” I asked, softening my voice the way I knew worked in calming her in most situations. Although right now, it didn’t seem like it was working seeing as she only grew more worked up.“You killed him.” She whispered, eyes wide from fear and hands trembling against her thighs. I

Luca’s pov “Stop the fucking car.” I growled out as soon as I instantly sat up straighter. My eyes were still wide as I scanned my gaze over the texts staring back at me. It showed at the lower side of the texts that they had come in about twenty minutes ago.“Fuck.” I cursed as I proceeded to dail Sofia’s number. It went straight into voicemail, prompting me into cursing again as I pushed the door of the car open and stepped out of it. It hasn’t even occurred to me to cheek my phone while I had been talking with a few men from the mafia. The phone has been silenced which was why I hadn’t gotten any notification when she had been spamming me those messages. As I glanced through the messages once again, worry clogged up a part of my brain as I tried to figure out what could have gone wrong.Ryan & Ethan were also unreachable, which prooved that something had definitely gone wrong with them, something really bad.I dailed James' number next; hands pulling on my hair as I waited for hi

Sofia’s pov “Why aren’t you eating?” As the question washed over me, I couldn’t stop myself from flinching. Weakly lifting my head up till I was staring at Ryan, I hesitated for a moment before speaking.“I’m not hungry, thank you.” I whispered and then I glanced away to stare at a spot on the wall which I’ve been staring at for days.It’s been two days since I got kidnapped by Ryan, and so far, it didn’t seem like I was gonna get rescued anytime soon. The sound of him coming close to me made me pull my legs closer to my chest and wrap my arms tightly around myself, as if that was enough to protect myself from him. He crouched at the side of the bed once he got close and I hastily averted my gaze before it could meet his. His hand shot out and prevented that form completely happening, leaving me to stare into his ones. A pair of eyes which I once used to find comfort in, but now, it did nothing but scare and repulse me to the core.He cleared his throat and his fingers stro

Sofia’s pov It was obvious now that Ryan is definitely more than a bodyguard. How he had managed to fool even Luca is still weird to me. With that thought in mind, I felt my chest start to expand from the thought of Luca and I tried to imagine what he’s currently doing, and now he’s faring in my absence. With a sigh, I shoved the covers off my body and slid out the bed, stretching a little to get the knots out of my joints. It’s almost three full days since I’ve been kidnapped and somehow, I had a feeling a lot of people is already aware of it.Ryan leaves the house every here and there, and I wondered if he’s still working beside Luca right now like the bodyguard Luca knows him as, if he’s currently pretending to not know where I am and is joining in searching for me with the rest of Luca team meanwhile he had kidnapped and locked away in here.That thought made anger bubble in my stomach but I knew there was nothing I could do to help my situation. Ryan had said I was lite

Luca’s pov “Why is it taking this long to schedule a meeting with the bastard?” I growled in an exasperated sigh while my hand tugged on my hair. “That’s because you know how pompous the underground lords are. They must have all heard what has happened, and they know why you wanna see them, hence why they’re being difficult seeing as you never tried reaching out to them until right now.” James explained, voice coming out steadily. I heaved tiredly and sank into a seat, feeling tired as ever.“I never want to have shit to do with them. I’m only trying to get in touch because I need their help, that’s all.” I let out, voice muffled due to my hands dragging over my face.The mafia lords who run the underground are quite different from those who run things on the front line. The ones underground are powerful when it comes to intels, illegal tr@fficking, amongst other things. They always have intels whenever Someone’s in need of it, depending on who’s asking, which is the only reason why

Luca’s pov My head was still reeling from disbelief as I entered the house and shut the door behind me. James had felt as flabbergasted as myself the moment I relayed the most important of the dinner to him. I pulled off my time as soon as I entered the room, and then I splashed some water on my face. The past few days has felt like pure torture to me. When Sofia had left the house from anger, at least I had known where she had been throughout those moments. This time felt complete, it kept feeling like I was gonna stop breathing after a few moments due to how restless I was. After the drink I chugged in at dinner, I didn’t feel like drinking any more tonight any longer.After changing, I alighted the stairs and was heading towards my office when Armani arrived from the kitchen with a drink in his hand. It didn’t look like he had been getting enough sleep from how swollen his eyes looked. We stared at each other silently till he closed the distance between us and tugged me into a hu

Sofia’s povT/W Noncon • Violence • Proceed With Caution As each sob rattled out of my body, every inch of me trembled from fear and pain. I tightened my arms around myself even though I know it wouldn’t make any difference.“Why are you making this hard for yourself for no reason?” Ryan asked, voice softened and ladened with so much concern, if I hadn’t known better, I’d have fallen for it.“I’m so sorry.” I whispered for the hundredth time, head throbbing from how much I had been screaming and crying.After Ryan had caught me trying to escape, he hadn’t done a thing to me, which had shocked me to the core. He had laid me in the bed and kissed me Goodnight before existing the room, and I had stayed wide awake from fear until the next morning. He treated me with so much care, never bringing up the fact that I attempted to excspe from him for a moment, and that left me tense throughout the day, because I’ve witnessed just how bad he could get. Unexpectedly, that night, he h

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.
