Luca's Inferno 37 Gratitude
Luca The moon had shined on me. I had punished myself for nothing. Emma looked adorable even though her eyes looked haunted. I thought getting her back would be impossible, but she genuinely cared for me. No one has ever made my heart beat this way. Being around Emma is like breathing. How could I have let her go? Fate smiled at me this time; I would not make the same mistake twice. I will love her to the best of my ability and protect her the best way I can, I know she had laid down some rules, but she was still mine to love and protect. Katya flashed in my mind. Her cute smile and beautiful eyes. I could not believe I was a father. I spent two years and six months not knowing my wife had a beautiful baby girl. I should have told Tevin it wasn't what it seemed when he visited. All of this would have been avoided. I looked at Emma in my arms and promised myself I would never leave her again. I will always be by her side, no matter what. She was my life and my soul. I will love her u

Emma. Miranda exclaimed when she saw Luca and me entering the house with Katya in his arms. She instantly had tears in her eyes and came to greet me. "Fix up my room, change the sheets. I also want you to prepare Emma's former room for my daughter, Katya," Luca said proudly, and she nodded immediately with joy. "Welcome home, Madam," she greeted me, and I felt her joy. She took Katya from Luca, and Luca carried me bridal style, which made me giggle. He carried me to the living room couch, and we laughed. The light was back in his eyes, and I was glad to be a part of it. "Not much has changed," I said, looking around. I never imagined that I would be back in his home. The day I left was painful, filled with anxiety and fear. "It has been lifeless since you left." He said on a serious note and looked at me. We kissed passionately, and he was trying to get me out of my clothes when I stopped him, giggling at the same time. "Come on, Luca, we aren't home alone. Didn't you say yo

Emma. Teressa looked stunned, and I looked at what she was wearing. There was no way she came for business. Her skirt was so short that I wondered why she bothered. Her suit jacket had one button, and the blouse she wore showed cleavage. She had come there to seduce my man. I wondered how many times she had come looking the way she did. She was resilient. I had to commend Luca for not falling. I truly owned his heart. "Answer me; what are you doing here?" She asked, and I smiled at her. " Well, technically, we are still married, and I have decided I do not want to stay in Celio anymore. A husband and wife should not live apart, don't you agree?" I asked politely, and she looked confused. Just then, Luca descended the stairs. "Teressa, what are you doing here?" He asked her calmly, and her eyes were filled with tears. "Did you not divorce her? You sent her away. What is she doing here? I can't take this, Luca. I am okay with you healing and doing your thing but bringing her into yo

Luca. I could not believe what Emma kept from me. I held my mother, regretting my outburst. I did not want her to know why my father left her to avoid breaking her heart, but I had blurted it out, out of anger. "Why didn't you tell me, Luca?" My mother cried while I held her. "Because I didn't want to see you like this. I did not want to break you." I said, and she cried. "Keeping it from me was wrong. I thought it was a tantrum and he would be back. But now I know he isn't coming back." She said and cried. "Thirty-five years of loving and supporting him, and he did this to me," She wailed, and I decided to tell her the whole truth. "He was with her before you, mom. I spoke to the woman yesterday, and she told me grandpa was the one that forced him to leave her. He threatened to disown him if he didn't leave her and mate with you. She was a Kappa from a poor family, and he had claimed her secretly. They had twins. Her sons are older than me." I said, and she was in shock. She wip
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Luca's Inferno 41 An Unknown Attack
Luca. I busied my father's call and called back against my better judgement. He answered on the first ring, and I cringed when I heard his voice. All I could think of was my mother's pain. "Luca, how are you?" He asked me. "Get straight to the point; I do not have all day," I told him, and he was silent. "I know you are mad about what happened with your mother, but I couldn't take it anymore. She was a ..." He said, and I cut him short. "Don't pin your infidelity and disloyalty on my mother. Did your bitch not tell you we spoke? She told me everything. She told me about your sons, who are older than I am, by the way. The same people you ruined our family's business for, and now that I have built back our financial reputation, you are trying to ruin me for their sake. If you cared so much, you should have handed it to them, not me. I would have been better off, Roberto would have been alive now, but I do not expect you to care about my mother or her children." I said, and he wa
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Luca's Inferno 42 Suggestions
Luca. Everything had happened so fast, and I did not know what to do. The attack was still a mystery to me. Whoever planned it must have known much about my house and security. They also had to know that Emma was around, and she was of value to me. They definitely took her to get to me. Bianchi was the most plausible culprit, but other than his issue with me, why take Emma? He is most likely to kill her than kidnap her. Whoever took Emma wanted something from me. Aldo and Heather were the first to arrive. Heather was crying, blaming herself for bringing Emma to Ashfield, which made me feel bad. No one would have taken her if she wasn't in my house. Aldo tried to console her, but she wouldn't have it. My mother ushered her to the living room so I could talk to my friend. My uncle Leonardo Mancini was on his way. "How did it happen?" Aldo asked me. He was wearing plain jeans and a white t-shirt. It was apparent he came in his stay-at-home clothes. I thanked him for coming immediately.

Luca. After the suggestions, I excused my guests and went upstairs. Walking into my bedroom, I saw the mess the abductors left behind. I saw a piece of Emma's white knitted gown caught in the nail of broken furniture. There was blood on it, and I knew it was hers. I hadn't had time to let what had happened sink in. It was now sinking in gradually. Why did Teressa or whoever did this do it? I never really bother anyone, and I always allow people to move freely and carry out their businesses. I wasn't overbearing or controlling. Apart from my search for Deigo Gallo, I was a pleasant boss. In the history of the Mafia, I was the most lenient of all the bosses in our country, yet they paid me back like this. Tears began to fall from my eyes. I told her there was no place for her in my world. I told her my life was hell, yet I could not live without her. She dared it all and wanted to remain with me. This was how my life with her would be. She will always be in danger. I went on my knees

Luca. Uncle Leonardo set an impromptu meeting with Bianchi, who still maintained that he had nothing to do with the attack on my home. I did not believe him because no one else could pull off that stunt. No one would dare move against me. Mathias's relationship with my father had made it possible for the man to disrespect me to the point of coming to my home and threatening me. My parents had caused it. Now I had to fix his misconception of who was in power. It was now two in the morning, and we were still yet to hear from the culprits. I knew they were playing mind games with me. The more I waited, the more nervous and afraid I became and the more eager I was to agree to their terms. The fear of the unknown tormented my soul, and I feared for the worst. Questions reeled on my mind, and all of them remained unanswered. I looked at everyone present, and they were clearly equally worried. Then I remembered that Castelo's wife was pregnant, and I knew I had to urge him to go to her. "

Luca's Inferno 87 It Starts Now
Luca. Leaving Emma at home with the women, the rest of us decided to have the last meeting at the packhouse before everyone left. For the first time, Luciano joined us. He was hurt to learn of his brother's betrayal, and he later admitted that many things made sense to him now that the truth was out in the open. We also found out that they were able to get Perez and the other three families based on Mario's cooperation. They had promised the idiot the alpha of Ashfield, and he had taken it. To think my family disliked the Russos because of betrayal was ironic because Mario had just betrayed everyone who cared about him and his well-being. It was a shame and hard to fathom why he would do it, but the bottom line is he did it and almost succeeded in helping them to wipe us out. Deigo's death was a sweet victory. I had carried out my anger for Roberto and Emma on him. As for my brothers, I could see why Emma was not afraid of them. They were feeble-minded and gullible. Because of what
Luca's Inferno 86 Reconciliation
Lacy. I had my heart in my mouth all through the night. I prayed to the goddess to keep them safe. Mathias and his wife were with me in our house, but I couldn't focus. Knowing that there would be a fight and Theo and my son would be there scared me. I was mad at Emma for following, but I knew she would not agree to remain as I did. I just had to hope that the goddess would make it easy and they come home to me. Katya had fallen asleep on the couch, and I linked Miranda to take her to her room. Every time Mathais or Leonard's phone rang, I was on alert. I could hear the pounding beat of my heart. I was afraid, and I dreaded the worse happening. I prayed to the goddess to protect them and bless them. I promised to be more forgiving and quick to let things go. I promised to express myself a bit more if she brought them home to me safely. Leonardo's phone rang at ten in the night, and my brother had to keep the suspense high by walking away from the living room to answer the call. I knew
Luca's Inferno 85 An Easy Win
Luca. We arrived at the venue by six in the evening. I was eager to get it over with. I wanted it to be over. Hopefully, it wasn't a trap, and we succeeded. I wasn't happy that I was to spare the lives of the two creeps there who were my half brothers, but a deal was a deal, and I did not plan on going back on my word. As terrible as the Motzaretti clan were, they had united all the families. Having one enemy and fighting for survival made all of us realise what was best. I hoped we won the fight tonight and kept the lessons that Johanna Wallace helped impact on us with his ruthless ways. Before we came there, we researched and realised the guy was a nobody. I could easily take him, but I had to be careful. I turned to look at Emma beside me and touched her thigh. ''You have to promise me you will be out of that place once Marco and Randy have been bound with Silver. We do not know their strength level, but I need you to be safe so I can focus and end this guy." I told her, and she
Luca's Inferno 84 Great Odds
Theo The day of my initiation had finally come, and I noticed Karolyn was uneasy. She was better now, and I was glad I could get her meds. She looked nervous, and I knew she was worried. I had assured her that Luca would spare our sons, so I did not know what her problem was. "Why are you looking worried," I asked her, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I am worried about how tonight will play out. I have never been in a fight before, and my uncle is cunning. What if he kills my sons to teach me a lesson?" She asked, and I understood her fear. I remembered the note he sent her along with her meds, and I knew the guy was a heartless man. He was ready to let her die the most excruciating death simply because she did not give him the kind of information he needed to be successful. Karolyn was supposed to be his niece, yet he treated her like something he could use and discard. I understood her fear because the man had no regard for life, family or bonds. He was a monster. It
Luca's Inferno 83 Preparation And Hope
Emma, Luca told everyone what Theo had told us, and they were excited and shocked at the same time. We had all been waiting for this break and finally had it. "I say we make an example of those traitors and kill them most excruciatingly," Mathias said out of anger. He did not seem like the type to handle betrayal lightly. We had been living in hell for a while now, not knowing where the problem was coming from; instead of those two workings against them, they decided to drink the cool aid. Mathias was mad. "This makes a lot of sense now. Every effort we have made to get the cult has been futile. They have been one step ahead of us all the time. I now realise that Mario Russo was the issue," Mathias said, and I knew his pain because we had a few general meetings with Marco Diaz and all our plans had no headway too. They were smart to recruit one person on each side. "We can't kill them. We do not want to create a problem for ourselves. It is still based on speculation. We need proof
Luca's Inferno 82 Finally, The Break Needed
Luca, A week had passed, and my father was still yet to get to the bottom of the matter. The woman was a tough bitch to crack. Mathias told me my father had called to ask him for money and that it would be nice for me to reconcile with my father. I knew all of them thought the fight between us was real, and I could not wait to end the pretence. The investigation wasn't getting anywhere, and it seemed the people were getting comfortable in the packhouse. Slowly it was beginning to seem like we would be in Celio longer than expected. I did not know what to do. My mother had pleaded with me to tell my father to abort the mission, and slowly I began to agree that if another week should pass and Karolyn didn't crack, I would ask him to come home. I would rather have him with me than far away sleeping with the enemy. I sat in my home office going through some reports when Emma walked in. She had dark circles, and it was partly my fault. We had not been sleeping. We tried to stay awake as m
Luca's Inferno 81 Confessions
Theo, I sat in the house a bit impatient. I wanted to call Luca to find out how Lacy was doing, but I was being careful. I needed to keep up my pretence just in case I was being watched. I remained in the house doing all I would have typically done when I believed Karolyn had cancer. I decided to make some calls to ask for money. I knew she must have bugged my phone by now; I couldn't wait to stop the pretences. She returned later in the afternoon looking sad, and I wondered what was up with her. I was honestly getting impatient and did not want to linger with her anymore. Her mood was down, and she looked sick. She walked passed me and went to the bedroom. I tried to look at her as she moved, and it looked like I was admiring her, but I was just curious. A few minutes later, she entered the room, popped her head through the door, and smiled at me. "Aren't you coming?" She asked, and a grumble almost escaped my lips, but I held it. I smiled and followed her. How could she switch
Luca's Inferno 80 Strategy and Support
Lacy. Why would Theo do this to me? I was only trying to make him suffer before taking him back. I was honestly relieved that he did not send that message and that he did not leave me for her. I guess she played her cards well. The bitch. If I had not received that message, I wouldn't have sent him horrible messages, and he would have just checked on her and come home. Karolyn had complicated our lives for her selfish gain. I doubt if she loved him. She was just using him. I was mad at Theo for risking his life like this. I knew it was a good cause, but the price was steep. I knew I could not be crying and moping about my room. I had to make decisions that would aid his cause. I sat up in bed and set aside my hurt. I locked my room because this was a crucial moment for me. Every decision I made now would determine the outcome of things. I needed to find a way to aid Theo from afar. Emma had knocked on the door a couple of times. She had also brought Katya to knock on the door. Emm
Luca's Inferno 79 Feeling Giddy
Luca, It had just been a few hours, but I was uneasy. It was almost afternoon, and I was still waiting to hear from my old man. I knew it would not be like magic, but I was hoping he would get there, get what we needed and get out, but it would not be that way. I knew he would have to work on the bitch. She had been masterful and played him for so long that it would be only befitting if he did the same to her. My mother was hurting. She had not been alright since she learned what had happened, and I feared for her health. The moment Emma left her, she locked herself up in her room and wept. I waited for Castelo and Aldo to return before sending for my uncle and Emma's brothers. I wanted us to meet at my house before we went to the packhouse and give them a fictitious task to perform. We needed whoever their mole was, if any, to always have a report to provide the cult with, so my father would be successful. I prayed to the goddess to keep him safe. My uncle wasn't far behind, and w
