Luca’s POV I rolled unto my back, feeling completely drenched like I had stood under a cascading water with my clothes on, therefore drenching my body in the warm water that would feel cold against the body after a few seconds. My neck felt cramped up like I had slept in a wrong position and a part of it has ended up getting numb. I groaned a little as I finally forced my eyes open, my filled up bladder waking me from the deep sleep I had fallen into immediately after eating, making use of some drugs and taking a warm shower.I slowly sat on the bed, moaning loudly in pain in my muscles although not hurting the way it had hurt last night, still starts to hurt after little to no movement nevertheless. I rubbed at my eyes and blinked a few times, trying to chase the last bits of sleep clinging unto my eyelids.The first thing I did after kicking the blanket which was starting to feel uncomfortable against my body was to pull off my hoodie which was drenched in sweat. I tossed it on th

Luca’s POV Dressing in casual clothes was hard as hell for me, because being in a suit alone brings a particular kind of aura around you which a casual looking jeans and a flannel shirt wouldn’t be able to bring around you. Dressing in suits had always been like a super power for me, right from after I got ordained to be the new mafia lord after my father, and after I had to officially take over from my father after he had gotten killed.I wasn’t completely prepared to because a leader of a counter like this and to keep on walking in the footsteps of evil and greed which my father had laid out for me the way his father had did the same for him, but being left with no choice, I had to take the title and position and start leading the people forward from where my father had stopped. I knew a lot of people were not going to give me the due respect they were supposed to give me, because of my young age and because of how everyone in rankings back then were older than I was.And so I had

Luca’s POV “Oh, she’s upstairs, sitting on the balcony. Would you like me to get her for you?” Sarah replied immediately, her face somehow lightening up by that question which I had asked her.I shook my head instantly, already making my way out of the kitchen, “Nevermind, don’t think about it anymore.”I paused outside the kitchen’s doorway and contemplated asking Sarah how Sofia was doing and if her injured arm was still hurting badly, and how she was fairing but thought better against it and nudged the urge away, not wanting Sarah to start to suspect a thing concerning Sofia’s and I marriage. Because it was most definitely going to sound weird and suspicious to her that I was asking her how my wife was fairing instead of me asking Sofia directly like a normal husband was supposed to do.But then, I wasn’t a normal husband. Never felt like a normal husband for a second since the start of our marriage.For one, a husband wouldn’t have gotten married to his wife in a crowd of three

Luca’s POV I glanced at my wrist watch clinging on my right wrist and noted what the time says, it was almost four p.m in the afternoon. I made my way into the hospital building, walking past the security who bowed his head a little at me in respect the moment he recognized who I was. I walked into the elevator which wasn’t empty, to my disappointment and stood at the far end of the elevator, staying clear of the three identical children who were chattering the ears of their mother off.“Mummy, look at my bracelets in the mirror.” The one standing in the middle of her strikingly identity sisters said, smiling at her mother through the mirror— just as the one standing on the side which was only a few feet away from where I was standing at– lifted her hand up and looked up at her mother through the mirror with a small pout which made Sofia’s face pop into my head all of a sudden.“Mummy, mine is the prettiest, right?” She asked with a small pout just as the third one chose to tu

Sofia POV When Luca had suddenly broken eye contact with me and disappeared deeper into the house without saying a thing to me– not like I was expecting him to, in the first place, I had thought it was because he was angry with something that he had probably encountered with at work or wherever it was that he went to. I had no idea he was sick at that moment. I should have known, I guess? But when our eyes had connected, I was too busy focusing my whole willpower on not breaking eye contact with him ducking my head in embarrassment, which was probably why I hadn’t noticed how stressed out and tired he looked.When Sarah had suddenly come down from the stairs, straight into the kitchen where I was currently in– with Matilda stirring the food she was preparing and quietly humming a Christmas tune beneath her breath, despite the fact that Christmas was coming anything soon— to ask Matilda to increase the heat of the boiling rice and to start the preparation of the chicken soup

Sofia’s POV I scrolled through my phone, through the list of results that had come up after I had looked up ‘the things a married woman can do to pass time’ on safari. It had brought forth a bunch of things I had no thought of doing, and most of it contained taking care of babies– where would I find a baby to take care off? And that sounds really stressful, I wanted to do something I was going to really, really love doing.It would have been easier for me if I had been allowed to do any of my hobbies back when I was growing up at home, but my father disagreed the moment I had brought the topic up, even before I could finish speaking.And that had been the end of it for me. Until this morning when it occurred to me that I could be doing something I like, something I’d have passion and zeal to do… Well, that is it, Luca was going to agree and give me the permission to do it, instead of disagreeing like my father had done instantly, years ago.I wanted to start doing something.

Sofia’s POV I closed the bedroom door the moment I got into the room and leaned against it as I dragged breaths into my lungs while blinking repeatedly. Once my breaths were starting to come out at a normal pace once again, I moved away from my spot against the door and walked deeper into the bedroom, heading straight for of the bean bags chairs in the room and the other side of the bedroom and sank into it, pulling my legs up and warping my arms around it. I dragged in another deep breath and puffed it out ever so slowly, my ribs rising and falling along with the slow intake and exhale I was performing in order to calm myself down and stop the tears that had been about to once again fall down since the moment I exited Ryan’s presence.I was going to blame these unusual overwhelming emotions that had suddenly come to visit me this afternoon on my period. Yeah, it had got to be it.My hormones are most definitely messed up at the moment, hence the urge to cry.I shifted a little and

Sofia’s POV The first thing I came to was low, unclear voices which were blending into each other, making it hard for me to figure out who was who. I blinked my eyes open and winced immediately as bright lights shown into my eyes really intensely that I had to close my eyes back for a few seconds before finally blinking my eyes open slowly once again.What happened? I asked myself as my eyes started trailing over every near you detail it could lay its gaze on. I turned my head around and stared straight down, the familiarity of the room I was currently in registered into my head slowly and I blinked once again in confusion.I was… in the sitting room?I stared down at the white couch I was currently lying on, recognizing the couch immediately as one of the ones in the sitting room. I pushed myself up to a sitting position and let out a sharp noise when that sudden movement made a sharp pain tug at the inside of my head and my stomach at the same time.I didn’t notice the set of he

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.
