MARRIED TO THE MAFIA Chapter Sixty Eight
Lila.It had been atleast twenty four hours since I Saw or heard from him. The cryptic number that had texted me was now off. Which made me think either something really bad had happened to Luca or someone was playing games on me and whichever it was, I was done. "Have you heard from Luca yet?" I asked Maria when I saw her come in. Today was on a Sunday and it was her day off, she usually came around this time to just prepare dinner for us. "What do you mean?" she asked confused. "Luca hasn't come home yet and his phone is still off. I was wondering if he had reached out to you at all." "Luca is in his room Lila." she said matter 9f factly. "What?" I asked confused and shocked at the same time as I started following her to go check that room. Why had I not thought of that? "Are you sure he is in there? When did he come back?" "Yesterday, a few minutes after you got in. 8 thought you knew." "Whaat? Of course I didn't know that. I have been worried sick I thought something bad

Lila. It was like I was imagining all this in my head. I had heard him word so strongly how he was not built for family life for kids. How he didn't want to be responsible for another human being for all their love. But now he was ready to do this with me, together and he seemed genuinely excited about it. About becoming a father. Luca’s hands were still on my face, warm and grounding, but my whole body was shaking. I hadn’t realized how long I’d been holding my breath until that moment.“We do it together,” he said again, like a promise, like he was reading my mind and see could see the worry, and everything I was thinking about. I nodded, because if I tried to speak, I knew I’d sob. But he knew. He could see it in my face, the way everything in me was cracked wide open and raw. His arms wrapped around me and I buried my face in his chest, letting myself finally fall into him. Not carefully. Not like I was made of glass. Just… completely. We stood there for what felt like forev

Chapter One. The scandal Luca. The notifications on my phone were going crazy, forcing me to wake up and actually pick up my phone. I had over ten missed calls from my father. What on earth was going on? He had sent me a link which I immediately clicked on.'MAFIA BOSS LUCA DELUCA SPOTTED LEAVING HOTEL WITH A FAMOUS POLITICIAN' S WIFE'For a second, I thought I was reading wrong when the headline popped up on my phone. I quickly scrolled through different blogs and my face was all over the blogs. "Have you looked at your phone today?" my friend Tony said walking into my room with his iPad in his hand. Tony was my personal advisor and best friend, he was the one persona that knew all my secrets, the good and the bad. Our relationship dated way back to college which is where we met, freshman year. I threw my phone at him, as I quickly got up and started dressing up. "This is bad Luca, especially with us in the middle of this acquisition." "I know, I will take care of it." "How

Chapter Two. The arrangement. Lila. I sat in the sterile hospital room, the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor the only sound that filled the space between me and the frail figure of my mother, laying unconscious in the bed. My mother needed chemo, immediately, her condition was getting worse and if they didn't do anything she was going to die. Chemo needed money, alot of money. Money that I don't have. My phone buzzed on the table beside me. My flicked over to the screen, a name I didn't want to hear, especially after last night. A chill ran through me, and for a moment, I considered ignoring it. But something gnawed at me, the promise of something that could change everything. I hesitated before answering.“Lila,” Luca’s voice came through, smooth and cold, like polished stone. “I know you have seen your mother and the doctors have explained to you her condition,"He paused, as if to give me time to process everything he had just said. "You can save your mother, all you hav

Chapter Three. Lila. We stood at the entrance of the grand ballroom, the sound of laughter and conversation swirling around them. The glittering chandeliers above cast a soft glow on the elegant crowd, their expensive gowns and tailored tuxedos reflecting the extravagance of the gala. Luca, dressed in a sharp black suit, adjusted his cufflinks, a look of mild disdain crossing his face as he surveyed the room. Beside him, I fidgeted, my red dress clinging to me like a second skin, my lips painted a perfect shade of crimson. Neither of us looked particularly happy to be here. In fact, we couldn't stand each other.I hated him and everything he stood for. "Smile wifey." Luca said, squeezing my hand a little bit. “I can’t believe you dragged me here,” I muttered under my breath, as I scanned through the room with distaste. I loathed these events, the forced pleasantries and empty conversations. They were the last thing I wanted to attend. But Luca had insisted, of course. He had made

Chapter Four. Luca We had been sitting in silence for a few minutes, now.I looked over at Lila who seemed to be focused on my dad. “So, what do you think?” I asked dryly, already knowing her answer. I hated these gatherings, hated the way my father dominated every interaction. He had summoned me here without notice and when he called, I showed up. When I told her we were coming to see my dad, she didn't oppose me, which made me wonder if she had her own agendas. My father was furious that I had married her knowing our history with her family. But she had been great so far, only speaking when she had been spoken to. She shrugged slightly but didn’t turn away from watching my father who was on the phone . “It’s a lot,” she said, her voice soft, almost hesitant. “He seems... intense.” she added. I chuckled bitterly, rubbing the back of my neck. “You have no idea.” I gave a half smile, but it didn’t quite reach my eyes. “It’s like being a pawn in a game where you don’t know the r

Chapter Five. Lila. His eyes never left mine, and I stared hypnotized into those truly strange and exciting eyes. I was trembling and my heart was pounding so hard in my chest my blood roared in my ears. I remained frozen even when his hand touched my cheek. It felt like hot coals on my skin. I inhaled deeply and breathed in his scent. It was unbelievable the effect this man had on me. Or maybe it was the too many glasses of wine that were settling in. I tried my hardest to act unaffected but failed miserably when he curled his hand till his knuckles replaced his palm and brushed them gently across my cheeks. I could feel the flush spread across my face like a burn.Then his hand reached my bottom lip and his gaze dropped to the quivering flesh. Using the smooth pad of his thumb he pulled my bottom lip down, let it go, then watched it bounce back into place with a curious expression on his face. The only way I could describe the look in his eyes was the way a cat plays with a mouse

Lila. I woke up to the unfamiliar bedroom walls, I was still in Lucas childhood home, the events of the previous night started coming back one by one, and could instantly feel my face turning pink from the humiliation he had put me through. A big part of me wished all this was a bad dream, but the more I registered the surrounding the more real it got. I almost had sex with Luca last night and when he found out I was a virgin he humiliated me. I slowly got out of bed, putting on my robe, l needed to get ready and get out of here as soon as I possibly could. I was about to get in the shower, when I heard a gentle knock on the door. "Come in" I yelled from the bathroom, and I heard the door open slowly.Luca never did anything slowly, so I definitely knew it was not him. "Excuse me miss." I got out of the bathroom, and it was Maria, the house keeper."Good morning Maria, you can just call me Lila please." I said with a smile,"I am supposed to get you to come down for breakfast."

Lila. The drive back home was long and tiresome, mostly because all I could think about was Luca. Was he okay? He had left so angry, and he was a self destructive kind of person. I prayed and hoped he had just gone back home. I slammed the door shut behind me, keys jingling uselessly in my hand. “Luca?” I called, voice echoing into silence. No answer. Just the hum of the fridge and the distant sound of a car passing outside. I dropped my bag on the floor and made a quick sweep of the apartment, heart picking up pace with each empty room I checked.His jacket was gone. His boots. His phone charger was missing too. That meant he took his phone, but when I tried calling again my screen lit up with the same message I’d been seeing for the last three hours.Call failed. I ended it quickly, thumb trembling. I tried again. Nothing. Again. Still nothing.“Goddammit, Luca,” I muttered, pacing the length of the living room. The clock on the wall mocked me: 11:32 PM. He should’ve been home h

Richard. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, but I could tell he was pissed off. I hadn't seen him that way in a long time. "Please sit down Luca, let's talk about this." i said calmly, nudging Lila to tell him to sit down."What exactly did she tell you son?" I finally asked after a few minutes of silence. We were all seated across from each other, but I appreciated the fact that Lila was present, she could help calm things down between us."She said you are the reason she never came back, you threatened her life and told her if she ever came back you will kill her." he finally said, his eyes cold, that angry vein popping on his forehead."Why would I even do that Luca, just think about it. Her leaving broke me, why would I want her to leave in the first place?""Well for starters you were in love with Lila's mom, maybe you wanted to get rid of my mother so that you two could live happily ever after. She is your biological daughter, I am not" he said angrily, his ey

Lila"What does he mean by this Jenny? What did you say to him? Where did he go?" My legs nearly give out. I stagger to the couch, the letter fluttering in my trembling hands. The paper is warm from my grip, but his words cut through me like ice.Gone where, Luca? None of this was making an sense, I had only stepped out for a few minutes, waht could she have possibly said to him. I read faster, eyes blurring from more than just the tears building behind them. As if trying to find an hidden message behind the message. But there was no hidden message, it was just as plain as it read. I was about to get up, when I saw another note, a little hidden like he didn't want someone to find it. He had placed it below the fruit bowl, neatly folded. I picked the note, careful not to seem suspicious to Jenny who seemed unfazed by any of this. 'Lila, I couldn’t stay. I know you’ll hate me for this, and I deserve that. But after hearing her, hearing what she said, it wasn’t enough. There is mor

Lila. We all sit down on the floor, our legs crossed facing each other, the letter in his hand. I nudge him to go ahead and open it. It's now or never. Luca’s fingers tremble as he breaks the seal on the letter. I watch his knuckles, turn white against the yellowed paper, and my heart is a fist punching inside my ribs.He doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t look at me. Just starts reading.I feel useless. Like I’m standing at the edge of a cliff watching someone I love tumble off it in slow motion and there’s nothing I can do to catch him. Nothing I can say to soften the crash.The silence is unbearable. I move closer to him. “Luca?” I say softly, His eyes scan line after line, but it’s like the words are dragging him under. His jaw is clenched so tight I swear I can hear the tension grinding in his teeth. When he finally speaks, it’s a whisper, brittle and sharp like glass underfoot.“She says she left because of him. My dad. She says... she wanted to come back. But he threatened her.”
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA Chapter Sixty Three
Luca.I wasn’t even sure how I got home. The sidewalk bent and curved like a snake, and the streetlights flared and flickered like firecrackers, and I was just stumbling through it all like I didn’t belong in the world anymore. My keys missed the lock three times before the door gave way under my weight. The house was too quiet. Like it knew something I didn’t.My head buzzed like a goddamn beehive. My stomach was a pit. Everything in me was too full, too much whiskey, too many thoughts, too many years of things I never said out loud.I didn’t mean to go to her room.I didn’t even think. My feet just carried me there. Like they remembered something I had forgotten.Lila’s door was open. That soft glow of her bedside lamp leaked into the hallway, golden and warm. She was curled up on her bed, legs folded, book in hand, glasses perched low on her nose like they always were when she got serious about something. Her eyes flicked up when I leaned against the doorframe like I was trying to

Richard. The air suddenly becomes cold and I can tell something is definitely wrong by how Jenny is acting and so quiet. I shut the door behind the detectives and follow them into the living room like I’m in a dream. Jenny’s already sitting on the edge of the couch, hands in her lap, eyes locked on the floor like a kid caught shoplifting.“What’s going on?” I ask as I sit across from Jenny and the two detectives. The taller one, introduces himself as, Detective Harlan before he glances at his partner, then back at me.“We are looking into a cold case,” he says. “A missing person from 1999. You knew a man named Marcus Wynn?”The name hits like a slap. He was the reason me and Jenny fought so much in our marriage. "Yeah. I knew Marcus." He was Jenny’s friend. Or so she said. A musician. Used to crash on our couch sometimes in the months before she left. The kind of guy who always had a half smile and a cigarette behind his ear. After she disappeared, so did he.“Why are you asking
