It was evening and Sophia asked Laura to spend the night with Isabella again and she accepted, she wore a simple red gown while waiting for her brothers.
“Can you bring me pictures of Luca?” Laura asked and she rolled her eyes. “Why will I do that?” she sneered when there was a knock on the door.
Sophia opened the door and found Damon standing there dressed in a blue shirt and jeans “Brother” she called with a nervous smile.
“Where is Carlo? I prefer he doesn’t come along” Damon said, he knew his younger brother was thirsty for power and he was also someone who idolizes gangsters.“I also think so,” Sophia said, she had not yet told Damon about the incident at Luca’s place where Carlo almost lost his life.
“Damon” Laura walked towards him with a shy smile, her face was completely red when she saw his gaze was stuck on her “Laura” he called and Isabella rushed towards them.
“There Is a spark, right Mother?” she asked and Sophia laughed hard while Laura pulled her cheeks.
“What do you know about sparks?”
“I know a lot” the kid pouted.
“Hello” Carlo walked to the sitting room and had a huge smile, they were surprised seeing that he was dressed in a black suit. “Where did you get the suit?” Damon asked with a frown, his brother was only 19 so he had no job and couldn’t afford a suit.
Carlo had a huge frown “I work my own money now”
“Oh yeah? What do you work?” Damon asked and Sophia could see another argument arising.
“Coz you are a cop, you think everything a teenager does to raise money is illegal. Are we going or not?”
“Don’t dare talk to me with that tone” Damon warned angrily when Sophia butted in. “Let’s leave already, can we?”The brother stared at each other for a while before Damon walked out towards his car and they both followed.
**
The hall at the Greco’s mansion was well decorated and also surrounded by arm men, upstairs Luca was surrounded by his sisters and Marco.
“Camille, are you okay?” he asked, she was the most fragile of his sisters and might blow their cover with her emotions.
“What do you think?” she sneered and Luca stared at Marco “She won't attend the party” he ordered and Camille had a frown.
“I am fine, I won't speak to anyone” Camille butted in and Luca nodded before a guard walked in “The guests have arrived,” he said.
“My sisters will take care of the party,” Luca said as he stared at his three sisters, they were his life and he will kill anyone who dares hurts them.
“Won't you attend?” Valentina was curious. “Yes,” said Luca, he was not going to bless those gangsters with his presence.
“Lina, I know Camille Is older than you but you are in charge of her,” he said and Lina nodded while Camille sneered.
Meanwhile…
The hall was filled with gangsters and mafia lords, and the tension was high coz they all glared at each other angrily, the Mondragon family walked in and Jasmine’s eyes wandered round the hall. She wanted to meet Luca so badly.
“His mansion is paradise,” Jasmine said with a smile “A bloody paradise” the old Mondragon sneered before walking to a couch that was reserved for the Mondragon family.
Jasmine walked towards one of the guards “Where is Luca?” she asked and the guard snubbed her, they were not allowed to talk with any of the guests.
“You better reply, I will become your boss’s wife soon and I won't forget to teach you a lesson” she warned angrily before walking towards the couch.
There was an unlimited amount of beer and drugs of all kinds. The hall became quiet when the Russos walked in.
Sophia glared around and felt nervous, this place was filled with bloody gangsters around the country, Damon clenched his fist angrily when he saw half-naked girls walk around with a tray of drugs.
“Now this is what I call a party,” Carlo said happily and Damon glared at him angrily. “No drugs” he warned.
Damon was angry coz these mafias always took drugs in hiding, but Luca served drugs at his party like it was some desert.
“What is Officer Russo doing here?”
“He has some guts showing up”
“He sent my cousin to jail”
Everyone had frown when they saw Damon, he was a loyal detective who never accepted bribes, and that made him have a lot of enemies.
“Everyone hates you, now you wonder why I hate you?” Carlo said mockingly before leaving to talk with some real mafia.“We can still leave” Sophia whispered as she didn’t feel comfortable here, the ladies present at this event all dressed indecently.
“Stay by my side,” Damon said instead as they walked to the couch that was reserved for them, the couch had the name Russo.
Soon, the Greco sisters walked downstairs and everyone’s gaze was on them. “They are all staring at us” Tina whispered and Lina had a huge smile. “Day one of our revenge plan”
Jerome Mondragon’s gaze was stuck on Camille, he felt his heart move when it noticed her. She looked familiar and she was staring at him as well.
“Camille, stop staring at him” Lina whispered with a frown, Camille nodded and stared somewhere else. She felt it hard to breathe when she saw the man she used to love so much, but his family had ruined hers and the only connection left between them should be hatred.
“Hello everyone, thanks for coming” Lina took the mic and said, the guests had to admit that their beauty was incomparable.
“It's not like we had a choice” the old Mondragon muttered.
“My brother won't be joining us, so let's all enjoy the party” she concluded and this caused a lot of tension, Luca invited them to a party and didn’t show up.
“That little brat,” the leader of the Serene family said with a frown, then he turned towards his oldest son “Talk to one of his sisters,” he said and he nodded. They needed to be connected with Luca in all ways possible.
“Okay father,” Clovis Serene said, he was known as an heir with no manners.
Sophia glanced at Luca’s sisters, they were so pretty and she wondered what it felt like to be the sister of a bloody man like Luca.
She was lost In thought when she received a call from Laura “I will answer a call” she whispered to her brother who looked worried. “Don’t stay too long, and don’t go far”
Sophia nodded before leaving the hall, she saw the place was well guarded and there was a cool fountain by the side. She walked towards the fountain before calling Laura again.
“Hello, did something happen to Bella?” she asked worriedly. “Of course not, I called because I wanted to remind you about those pictures of Luca”
Sophia's frown deepened, she thought something happened to her daughter and that’s why she called. “I thought you liked Damon?”
“Yeah, I like him a lot but I want to see what the great Luca looks like, his abs and especially what's below”
“So naughty, if you like my brother then you should know he hates Luca”“I am not the only lady who is curious to know if Luca is as powerful in bed as he is with a gun” Laura sneered.
“So what? You expect me to walk towards Luca and say ‘ Hello Luca, my friend wants a picture of your d*ck’ huh?”
“I won't mind” a voice echoed from behind her and she quickly turned to see who was standing there, this made her gasp and her phone fell inside the fountain.
hello guys, I am a new author here and wish to receive feedback and support from readers. how do you like the story so far?
Sophia quickly retracted her phone from the water and had an embarrassed look, did she just say that loud in front of Luca? How she wished the ground will open for her to hide in. “What now baby?” Luca asked with a smile as he held his belt. Sophia swallowed hard “I should leave,” she said nervously. “Let’s have a drink first” his tone was demanding and Sophia found this as an opportunity to know how Luca came to know about her stammering as a kid. “Mr. Russo, about…my..my way of talking. How did you know?” she stuttered and Luca’s gaze never left her. “I am Luca Greco, I know everything”“So you know about everyone in Italy?” “No, I know only about those I find interest in,” he said and Sophia could feel her heartbeat accelerate, she had to escape. “I also like it when people appreciate my help, so think of a good way to appreciate me for helping you at the casino. If not I will decide how you should” Sophia frowned, she was right that men never do anything for free. What was s
Luca blew the smoke off his gun and Marco hurried towards him, he walked and glared at Sophia then the man on the floor.“My bullet missed,” he said and they were all confused, did he want to shoot Damon or did he want to kill Micheal but it took just his thighs? And this was Luca, his bullet doesn’t miss.Damon frowned and held Sophia’s hands before leaving the party, when a gangster shoots a gun then it only means there will be trouble.“Now the party can start,” Luca said as he walked towards a couch, Micheal stared at him angrily but he knew he couldn’t say anything now. Luca embarrassed him in front of that stupid cops.He was more surprised when Luca's men walked towards him “We will clean your injury” they said and he had a sneer. Is this Luca’s style? He gives you an injury then treats you.Meanwhile…Carlo was done having fun with Jessica, he saw the scene earlier and was about to go save his sister from Micheal but he saw Luca arrive and he wanted to know how he will resolve
Sophia got a call from Marco later, she was given a location to come pick her daughter up. She took a cab and hurried there, it was on a private beach and was surrounded by guards. Isabella sat with Luca and she had a bright smile as she ate cake and there were more snacks on the table “Bella” Sophia hurried towards her and hugged her. “Are you okay?” she scanned her and saw that she was perfectly well and even eating a cake. “Mother, your friend is so kind,” Bella said and Sophia frowned before glancing at Luca. “You wanted to learn how to swim right? Marco will take you” Luca said and she nodded happily. Sophia held her tightly, she didn’t let her go “Mother” She called out and Sophia stared at Marco and then her daughter.“Be careful, okay” she said worriedly and her daughter nodded before leaving with Marco. “What do you want? You abducted my daughter from school just because I refused to follow you?” “Isn't that romantic?” Luca asked and this made Sophia angrier. “What do y
Angelina(Lina) hurried downstairs with her phone, her sister Valentina(Tina) was having coffee when she saw Lina hurry down.“Camille” Lina said before showing her phone to Tina, she saw the photo where Camille was handcuffed by the police.“What did she do?” Tina asked surprised, they didn’t even know that she left the house. Just then, they heard a car drive in and immediately knew it was Luca so they hurried to the door.Luca walked out of the car and saw the worried looks on his sister’s face. “Luca, have you seen this?” Lina showed the picture to him.He had a frown, Damon arrested his sister. He had so much guts to arrest his sister. He could kill anyone who dares to mess with any of his sisters, and Camille was fragile. She has never been to a place as dirty as a prison cell.“Marco” he called angrily, Marco hurried towards him and he whispered some words to him.“Lina, go to the station” Luca ordered and walked in. Lina nodded and got into the car when Tina followed her. “I wa
Damon arrived at Sophia’s place together with Carlo, he needed to drop him off personally but it was a bad idea as Sophia was worried seeing Carlo’s bruises. “What happened? Did he get into a fight again?” she asked worriedly and Carlo frowned before sitting on the couch “More like the lion’s den again” he sneered angrily. “Tell me what happened?” she kept asking but Damon kept quiet, Carlo decided to explain “What happened is the fact that Damon wants to kill us all,” he said and she got confused. “Don’t say that” she refuted “It’s the truth, Sophia, if not then why will he ever arrest Luca’s sister? Ignorance is a disease” Carlo said mockingly and Damon still kept quiet, he lost his image today because of Luca. “If you would have used your brain then maybe Luca would have been on our side” Carlo added angrily before walking out. “Carlo, come back here” Sophia turned to run towards him when Damon held her hands. “Let him go,” he said with a baffled tone before sitting on the sofa

It was evening and Jasmine drove to the Greco home with her luxurious car, but she was stopped at the gate by the guards, they knew who to let in and who not to. “Open the gates” she ordered but the guards remained unmoved.“Are you guys dumb or blind?” Jasmine walked down the car with a frustrated look. She was Jasmine Mondragon and these guards dared to disrespect her?Marco who noticed the scene outside, hurried towards them “What's happening?” he asked and Jasmine recognized him as Luca’s spin man.“They won't let me in,” she said and Marco had a helpless look, he had to ask Luca if he wanted to see this spoilt brat right now but Luca was not in his right state now.“Uhm, we never expected you today. Is there anything you want?” he asked and she deepened her frown.“I want to talk to Luca or one of his sisters, not to some worker” she sneered and Marco nodded.“Then you can wait out here” he scoffed and turned to leave when they saw Luca walking towards them.He was dressed in a b
Sophia was shocked when she saw her ex-husband standing there. “Sophia” he had a frightful smile, Sophia quickly pushed the door to close it when he blocked it with his legs before pushing her in.“Where is my daughter?” he scolded and hurried to the room when Sophia held his hand. “What are you doing here? Get out” she scolded but he pushed her and she landed on the couch.“Tony, don’t touch my kid” Sophia was in tears as she hurried to the room.“Bella, Bella…daddy is here” he woke the kid up, Bella was frightened when he saw the man by her bed.“M..mom” she muttered in fear, this man had also hurt her along with her mother.Sophia hurried towards Bella but was stopped by Tony, he dragged her by the hair as she scream in pain. “Mommy, help” Bella jumped down from the bed as she saw her mother was in pain.“Come here, I am your dad” Tony pulled the kid with the other hand. Sophia got scared seeing that he was ripped off alcohol. He was probably drunk now and high on drugs, but no mat
Carlo couldn’t understand Luka’s words, but he dared not ask further. “My sister has suffered a lot ever since we were kids; all she needs is happiness, and if you are willing to give her that, then I approve,” Carlo replied, and Luka patted his shoulder before sitting back on the chair.He thought of Sophia when they were still kids; she was the cutest thing he ever saw, and her way of stammering wasn’t embarrassing but cute.“You can leave,” he ordered Carlo, who nodded before leaving.He had to see his woman, so he picked up his phone and dialed Marco’s number, asking him to go pick Sophia up.Back at the Mondragon mansion...Senior Mr. Mondragon sat on the couch as he made a phone call, and Jerome glared at him in anticipation.“What happened?” he asked his dad curiously.“There will be a transaction tomorrow; make sure it runs smoothly,” he said, and Jerome nodded. He had always wanted to quit this family business and live a normal and happy life, but it was impossible when he ha
Sophia and Valentina talked some more, and Valentina had to admit she felt comfortable talking with her; she had never had a friend since her brother became a don, and now Sophia was here.“Uhm, I don’t know if you care, but it's my birthday in three days. After visiting my family, I will host a small get-together at my place. You are free to come. With your sisters, of course,” Sophia said, and Valentina smiled.“Will Damon be there?” She asked shyly, and Sophia nodded, and so will Laura as well.“Then I will be there, but I can't assure my sisters will be,” she said, and Sophia nodded. She desperately wanted to know more about Luka; he was a mystery, as were even his sisters.Do they have relatives? How was their childhood life like, and did Luka ever fall in love?"Valentina,” she called in a serious tone.“Uhm… Is this your first time in Italy?” She asked, and Valentina nodded. Sophia was confused. Then why did Luka say he was the monster Italy made?
CHAPTER 21Sophia was glad she still had three days' leave, so she made some breakfast for Bella and Damon. She was going to drop Bella at school and later go see Damon.After dropping Bella off, she took a cab to the station because that’s where he was…then minutes later she walked into the station and found his seat empty.She had a sad look as she had expected to see him “Miss Russo” a voice echoed from behind and she turned to find a man dressed in a police uniform.He had one star so he must be a man of high rank “Yes?” she asked confused, how did he know her name?“You don’t remember me? I am Ray, Damon’s high school friend” he said and she glared at him for a while when the memories about him came rushing in.Oh, she now remembered him. Whenever Damon gets scolded or maltreated by her aunt, he will rush to his friend Ray’s place and stay for days before coming back. They used to be good friends and went to police camp together.“I am sorry about that, I had a lot on my mind…but
Marco witnessed how Sophia ran out quickly, so he turned and stared at Luka only to find him hugging Jasmine.He quickly rushed to Luka, they broke the hug and stared at him “Boss, something urgent came up” he said and Luka frowned.“What?” he askedMarco glared at Jasmine whose attention was focused on them, he walked closer to Luka and whispered some words. Luka’s eyes widened in shock, he walked to a guard and seized the motorcycle key.“Luka, are you leaving?” Jasmine asked seeing that he took the keys and rushed to the motorcycle.“Luka….” She called loudly but he already drove out of the gates. “Follow him” Marco ordered the guards who quickly rushed to the van, Marco sighed. He never expected Luka to rush out this fast when he heard about Sophia.He even took the risk of leaving the house again with no bodyguards.“What did you tell him?” she asked and he sneered before walking in.**Sophia kept running as fast as her legs could, she couldn’t believe what just happened. After
Sophia knew what she was doing was wrong, she promised never to give herself to a man again, especially to a gangster like LuKa, but she loved the pleasure he gave her.Seeing that she didn’t resist, Luka took the opportunity to pull her gown and kiss her in the places that would make her moan, the atmosphere was intense as she followed his every move.After an exotic moment, Sophia fell asleep because she was worn out from their activities, meanwhile, Luka stared at the half-naked woman on his bed.He had a smile but he knew this was bad for him, as a gangster he shouldn’t have an enemy, and not now that he has an additional enemy, the Moretti family.He walked down the bed and walked to the bathroom, soon he walked out completely dressed before staring at the lady on his bed.“You shouldn’t be with me,” he thought before walking out, when he got outside he found Marco in the car with some guards.He frowned and walked towards Marco “Why did you bring her here?” he asked and Marco sh
The next morning, Camille stood in the kitchen in a bad mood. “Why did you make the coffee so sweet?” she scolded the innocent maid angrily.“I am sorry Miss, I will make it right” she apologized Camille shot the coffee glass down and it shattered into pieces just like the other three.“Camille” Argentina stood by the kitchen door and watched this unreasonable scene. “What are you doing?” She asked angrily as Camille frowned at the maid before going to the sitting room and Angelina followed.“She is too stupid” Camille hissed angrily. “You are in a bad mood so don’t blame it on the maid, she has nothing to do with your anger” “I am a fool” she yelled angrily as countless tears rolled down her cheeks. Angelina felt bad and hugged her tightly “The Greco sisters could be anything but not fools” she tried calming her, then let her cry her heart out.After minutes of crying, Camille finally cool down “Thanks” she sniffed.“Let's have breakfast in a classy restaurant, what do you say?” Ang
The guests were shocked to see that one of the Greco sisters was laying down unconscious.Marco hurried towards her and helped carried her princess style “She was a little ill in the morning, I will take her back home…you both can stay” he said loud enough for others to hear.Angelina and Valentina could understand that she fainted due to shock, did she expect Jerome to be entrapped in some old love from fifteen years ago? Of course, he had to move on, but he moved on with the girl they hate a lot.Grace's eyes darted towards the Greco sisters, she had a frown as she walked towards the old Mondragon.Jasmine didn’t miss the glare Grace through at the Greco sisters “Do you know her?” she asked Valentina.“She is such a lousy slut, so I hate her” she sneered angrily.Angelina sighed and she spotted her target Clovis Serene making a phone call outside.“Tell her more about Grace,” Angelina said and excused herself.She took a glass of wine from the waiter and hurried out towards Clovis.
Sophia walked back to her bench with a cup of coffee but Alicia was gone, she was surprised and walked to her office where she found her.“Oh, thanks for this” Alicia said with a smile as she took the coffee, Sophia nodded gently before turning to leave but Alicia stopped her.“I can’t find the proposal you gave to me last week, it's somewhere here on my desk so can you find it while I use the bathroom?” she asked and Sophia nodded without thinking twice.Alicia left her office while Sophia searched the files on her table, she didn’t search for long as the file was close by, so how come Alicia couldn’t find it?*Later after work, the staffs were ready to leave when they heard a scream from Alicia’s room.“My ring” she yelled before hurrying towards the employees. “No one is leaving, I can't find my ring…it costs a fortune,” she said angrily and they all looked at each other.“Hope no one left yet?” she asked before glancing at Sophia, she had a smirk on her lips as she was going to r
Sophia’s brain was a mess, was Luca pulling her legs now, or was he being serious? Luca glanced at her and then at Jasmine “Whenever I make a joke, it never is funny” he said and Jasmine had a bright smile, then she burst out in laughter. “You are so funny Luca, of course, it's funny,” She said and glanced at Sophia who didn’t find his joke funny. She stood up and turned to leave when Luca held her hand “Your brother will be back tonight” he said and she nodded, why was he making her heart flutter? Sophia left the pool and Jasmine took her place, she glared at Luca with a seductive smile. She wanted to get on his bed at all points but it seems he was immune to his advances. “It's just us here, what now?” she asked and Luca glared at her angrily, he was about to lose his temper on her when he remembered he needed something from her. “Sophia is an open book, so I like her,” he said and she felt like a thousand needles were sent to her chest. “What do you mean? She is not worth you
