Thank you for reading
Luca My trip to New York is the most important on my list and yet I'd rather be at home playing games of hide and seek with Camilla. I don't know when it began but I just feel drawn to her. But on the other hand, I'm about to face the stories I've been avoiding and it sets me in a mood. We arrive at the Moretti Estate and I walk straight to Adrian's office where I find my father sitting too. I tighten my Jaw as I fight the urge to hit this son of a bitch again. "Welcome Luca. Take a seat." Adrian says and all I do is nod. "I'm as angry as you are and I know this is not what you wished for but can you please fucking say something. You're driving me crazy here." He says and I offer him half a smile. "You're my Capo. I've sworn my Loyalty to you and I would give up my life for you. But I need some time to process this." I respond and he nods in understanding. "Fine, I won't push you. Back to business then. John has been looking into the ledger theory and in as much as it is given
Camilla I'm setting up the table with a pounding heart as fear continues to grip me. Why did Luca ask if I went out? Does he remember our previous night and figured out it is me? I gave him my virginity and I regret it. I should have stayed true to my own words and beliefs and kept it for my husband once I had been set free from this cruel mafioso world. But I opened my legs like it was nothing. As the memory floods through again, my center throbs and I have to fight the urge to run back upstairs and touch myself again. Shaking my head as though it would take away these dirty thoughts, I continue setting the table as quickly as I can so that when he wakes up, he won't find me here. "Good morning," Melody says and I almost jump out of my skin. "You scared me!" I exclaim. She laughs a bit before turning serious "I'm so sorry I got you in this mess, Camilla. He has never asked for anyone by name, I never thought this would happen." She says sadly and I smile at her as I place
Luca I know who the woman behind the mask is. I know that we had sex. I know that I broke my own fucking rule of never fucking a virgin. Hell, it's fucking Camilla. But why do I feel so different towards her? Why am I unable to control myself? I practically came rushing to take her home. No matter how hard I thought about it, I just couldn't let go of the fact that other men were seeing her. The urge to make her mine has grown so strong that I will kill this son of a bitch for touching her. No one dares to question or ask anything when I throw her over my shoulder and walk upstairs to my office. I don't want her to know that I know her identity so instead of taking her home, I hold my tongue, "Go home." I say flatly and her eyes stare back at me in anger. She opens her mouth to say something but is cut short. The door bursts open and Adrian walks in. Fucking hell. Did he follow me back here? "I wondered what made my brother rush back to Vegas." He laughs. I ball my hands
Camilla My heart drops and shatters in a thousand pieces when I look up at Luca and he is staring right back at me silently. The mask somehow got entangled and fell off and now my identity which I worked so hard to hide has been uncovered and worse off by the person whom I wanted to hide it the most from. His blue eyes bear deep into mine and there is no sense of shock in them. The mothefucker knew all this time? Tears and anger swell up as my blood boils "You knew all this time?" I scream and he chuckles. Mischief is evident in his voice when he responds "Knew what baby girl?" I don't even waste my time to answer him when I try to stand up from the couch but he pulls me back forcefully. "Do not fucking walk away from me!." He says angrily like he has any right to be angry. Well, he does because he was placed in charge of me but that is the least of our problems right now. "Do you have any fucking idea what would have happened had anyone other than me found out about your li
Camilla My eyes slowly begin to shut as I feel my body fight for air. A vibration makes him pull back. It's his phone. I hold my neck and I cough and tears fall continuously. I glare at him and unable to hold back, I jump and the surprise attack makes him tumble back a few steps but he manages to catch me like I weigh nothing. ‘’Let me go you son of a bitch!’’ I scream and she chuckles like he finds me amusing. ‘’As you wish,’’ he says as he lets go, making me fall on my ass and it hurts like hell. I scratch my ass from my jean as I try to reduce the pain from the fall. How old is this man? Six years old?! ‘’This must be so fun for you.’’ I hiss and instead of another chuckle, he turns serious as he walks towards me and I move back but moving with your ass does little to help the situation. ‘’It’s the opposite actually.’’ He says as he squats to reach my level but the man is so tall that even while he’s squatting, I have to look up to meet his gaze. So I don’t. ‘’What do you
Ella Adrian left me to make wedding preparations on my own. I was so upset but then again, I’m just grateful that this whole mess has began to die down a little. I was hurt after discovering that everyone has been looking for me lately and not because I was attractive, but because of what my family line has been in charge of. ‘’What kind of twisted game is this!?’’ I ask Nana who just looks at me apologetically as if they had no choice. ‘’What's the whole point of this if you can’t even keep your own family safe by paying their hospital bills?’’ I spit angrily as I am unable to understand how a normal mother would watch her child die in the name of keeping a legacy safe. I had come to visit her but from the way Adrian insisted I knew something was up but I had no idea that it was something as horrifying as sacrificing my mother. ‘’I was being tested. Ella.’’ She begins but stops halfway when I glare at her. ‘’So you decided to cover up and use my mother’s blood as a cleansing sac
Luca Everything is not going the way it should. First of all, I don’t want these men in my house. Second of all, Ella is not supposed to be here and now that she is, she knows Camilla is alive which causes a problem for me because I’m already not on good terms with her but this will make it even worse. I look at Adrian and we exchange a silent agreement and he tells me what to do with a nod. Eyes are on him and if he doesn’t control this situation, word will spread and a bigger issue will come up. Being Capo comes with a lot of shit and looking confused and pussy whipped is not one of them. Adrian sighs, a heavy acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation. "I thought it was for the best, Ella. There were complications, things I couldn't burden you with at the time," he says and the anger in her eyes only grows. I turn my gaze to Camilla who looks like she is at a loss of words and my heart clenches painfully. I shouldn’t give a damn but I do, and it bothers me. We have
Ella Emotions are everywhere. I came here to be consoled but faced worse betrayal. It may not be a big deal for them but it is for me. They took her away and declared her dead. My anger is now replaced by a flood of guilt. Did they do it because she started being close to me? I now feel very bad because I may have set her life upside down without knowing.’’It wasn’t Adrian's fault.’’ her soft voice pulls me back from my abyss of guilt and I turn to her. ‘’You don’t have to defend him you know.’’ I force a smile and she sighs. ‘’It was completely my fault. I betrayed and sold everything you told me to Sofia. I even encouraged you to go out with her didn’t that ring a bell?’’ tears swell in her eyes and I reach over to her and squeeze her hands. The car comes to a stop at a red light and I smile a half smile at a friend I once thought I had lost. ‘’I almost died, Camilla. Twice. I understand it’s not easy being forced into a life you never planned for. I understand you better than
