Chapter 89

Eliana POV

“Cassandra, you were kidnapped a few hours ago, so you'll excuse me if I don't want to have you out of my line of sight,” I heard Vasilios grumble from Cassie's room in Luca's apartment.

She had insisted on staying at Luca's place instead of Vasilios's, even though it was right next door, saying that I needed her close by. But instead of Vasilios caving in to her request and letting her have her way, he decided that the only way she was going to stay there was if he shared the room - and subsequently the bed - with her.

She had, for obvious reasons, fought him about it. And lost.

“Come,” Luca said softly, lifting me into his arms as he carefully carried me to our room.

“I can walk, you know,” I told him teasingly, and he laughed, nuzzling my ear.

“I know, but for some reason I don't want to let you go. You seem to disappear whenever I do,” he teased back.

Luca laid me gently onto the bed and pulled the duvet up, tucking me in like a child.

“When will Enzo be back?”
