Thank you for reading.
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
Luca A distressed Ella walks in with Torren who looks like his life flashed before his eyes. ‘’Why do you both look like shit?’’ No words come out, only tears and I frown. What the hell is wrong with our little bride? Adrian bursts in and is panicking’’ Ella!’’ He breathes as he rushes to her side and wraps his arms around her. And now the groom too, I shake my head. ‘’Did someone die? What the Fuck is going on?’’ I ask irritatedly when all I see are continuous tears and no one seems to want to speak. I look in Torren’s direction ‘’’ Well?’’ I raise my eyebrow and he avoids contact with me. Are we still on the betrayal shit? I think to myself but I don't bother asking out loud. ‘’Camilla and Ella went out and ended up at a bridal store. It seems we relaxed a little since no one knew we were in Vegas.’’ Adrian speaks but it makes no sense to me. Adrian fucking Capo relaxing? That's new. ‘’So why does everyone look agitated?’’ I ask as I try to grasp the situation. ‘’Where
Camilla Life can be so unfair. The most painful thing about my life is that I’m always unlucky. Instead of a normal life, I’m paying my father’s debt and to protect my sister, I have to work harder and clear it, so she doesn’t live the same life as me even if I die in the process. The only man my heart jumps for thinks of me as nothing but a slut to help relieve his swollen cock and it hurts me. And now I'm in this mess again. One minute I was with Ella and the next I was hit with something heavy making me black out and now I have no idea where the hell I am. I'm not even sure if my legs are working. Fear clings to every fiber of my being as I find myself trapped in the dimly lit warehouse. The cold, hard floor beneath me feels unforgiving, and my hands are tightly bound. ‘’No one is coming to save me and I have no money so if you’re planning on killing me, please do it quickly,’’ I speak as high as I can even though my throat feels like it’s been set on fire. ‘’Is that what
Camilla The sound goes through loud enough to burst a heart and that heart which is about to busted is mine. I watch but the horror isn’t as I expect because the one who gets shot is not Luca. But his crazy ex. Adrian stands behind and once she drops dead, Luca is quick on his feet too ‘’Quickly hide.’’ He tells me and I turn but stop mid-way. ‘’What about you? I whisper and he curses under his breath as another gunshot rings. The goons start to multiply and as the gunfire increases, I freeze. ‘’For fucks sake Camilla, you will get me killed while I try to protect you so hide so I can stay alive.’’ He growls and that is enough to set my heels on fire. Part of me wants to ask why he would die protecting me but I decide better of it and obey. I duck behind some crates which is the best I can do at the moment. Luca came to save me and Adrian came to save Luca? Okay dying here tonight will be better than going back home and having to explain why a ‘’Moretti’’ saved me. There i
Adrian The day has finally arrived and I will be making Ella my wife. Not for the ledger and not for power but because I have fallen for her. Hard. When I went to that Auction five months ago, I wanted to ruin her. Her tears were satisfying for me and my sadistic cock. But now all I want is to see her smile. I will burn the fucking world for her without even blinking or thinking twice about it. The ledger is just a bonus and if it will keep her five times more safe, then why not? "Come on man, you don't even have friends!" Luca nudges me and I hold back the urge to punch him. "No!" I growl and he curses. "Why not?" He frowns and his blue eyes light up in amusement like a child. The only time I've ever seen this side of Luca is when he is asking me to give him someone to torture, seeing him behave this way over wanting to be my best man makes me question if my assumptions have been right all along. "You want to be the best man just because Camilla is the Chief bridesmaid?
Luca I don't know what the Fuck Adrian just saw that made him five times alert. I don't need him to speak up, I know what to do. "I've got it. Proceed with the greetings so that no one suspects anything." I whisper to him and he nods. Taking that as a sign of a go-ahead, I walk to the one person who can have answers to my question. "Why the fuck is Carlos alive and why is he here?" I whisper to Dad who looks like he just saw a ghost when all I did was mention his name. It's a funny scene because this man is a deadly beast hiding behind his nephew now proclaimed as his son Pathetic! I wonder what Mum saw in him. "I'll check thoroughly." He says as he tries stand to up and I just push him back down by his shoulders. "Stay sitted, you'll only cause a stir. If he is up to something we'll know." I say and turn around to proceed with my best man duties. Once I'm certain all the men we stationed are in their positions, I nod in satisfaction but my eyes stop on one figure. A

Camilla ‘’I can’t believe I said yes and I’m wearing a wedding gown instead of being on a flight away from here.’’ I shake my head in disbelief and Ella laughs as she stares at my reflection with me. This has been the most crazy thing I've done and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so happy and being here with my best friend makes it even more fulfilling. ‘’I guess the day we went out to try on the dress was a sign that the time was near.’’She jokes but quickly rushes to the bathroom. ‘’Ella are you okay?’’ I follow her and she turns to me with a thumbs up as the realization hits me. She is pregnant! ‘’I haven’t told him yet she confesses and I laugh. ‘’Your secret is safe with me.’’ I wink at her and we continue to prepare for my wedding. Who would have thought that the two of us would ever tie the not? I was just a maid, he was the prince of the underworld. I can’t help but feel nervous and wonder if I’m good enough for him. ‘’Was the Viktor issue handled?’’ I ask Ella
Camilla It’s been five days since the doctor said Luca would be fine. Three days ago he regained consciousness but I’ve been too afraid to approach him. I don’t know if he even wants to see me. His mother has been very supportive and hopeful that our love will blossom into something beautiful but I’m not so sure about that. We have never been on the same page and now I don’t even know how to face him. It's crazy how time flies and relationships change. But I can't help but wonder. What do you say to a man who took a bullet for you after you had said the most horrible things to him? ‘’Just go and see him before you regret it,’’ Ella says and I shake my head. I have been avoiding visiting him by any means necessary because the guilt wouldn't let me live after seeing him unconscious and knowing that my mouth led us here. If only had kept quiet and not said anything to provoke Viktor, maybe this would have turned out differently. Once again, it has been proven that we are meant to
CamillaEverything happens so fast that my mind can barely keep up with it. Tears roll down my face as I sock into Luca’s blood. His body starts to get cold and I scream so loud as the guilt grips me. The one time that I decide to finally stand up and not be tossed around, costs me so much. This should have been me. I should have been hit but he took the bullet for me. He did it even when I had said the most horrible things to him. I don’t know how everything happens but I hear guns blaring and shouting. Angry voices are in the air as someone pulls me from Luca. Everything is in slow motion and it feels like I’m not really present but experiencing this through someone else. ‘’Mr. Moretti said to protect you with our lives!.’’ The man shouts but I fight him. ‘’You should be calling an ambulance! Can’t you see he is on the brink of death?!’’ I scream but it seems I’ve been screaming so much without knowing and my voice is now barely audible. ‘’Take her to safety!’’ Adrian orders and
Adrian. Pride cannot begin to explain what I’m feeling as I watch Luca beat up the famous Dimitri like it's nothing. Blood splashes everywhere with each punch that he throws. He tries to throw a few punches, but Luca is too fast and too accurate. The boy is a machine and having made him my enforcer satisfies me to the very core because like always, I only got the best. I knew he had feelings for Camilla even before I had asked him to watch over her and my assumptions were proven right after that but I did not think he would push through with this despite my countless warnings.’’The brat has really fallen in love this time.’’ I chuckle as I pull out my phone which is vibrating. ‘’Are you just going to let that little spoilt brat start a war!’’ John shouts and I have to remove the phone from my earpiece to avoid them from bursting. ‘’That brat is the Enforcer and if he has done so much damage to a man like Dimitri, imagine what he will do to you?’’ I respond lazily. I don’t even k
Luca Anger seethes through me as I walk out of Camilla’s apartment. I don’t blame her but the least she could have done was trust me and join hands with me. I guess I’ve done so much to hurt her that she would rather hate me. Even though I know she didn’t mean anything she said, It hurts like hell. ‘’Send up security five times more intense,’’ I instruct Sean. I was too late and I found the son of a bitch gone, but that was the last time because everything ends now. The Russians may have power but I’m a fucking enforcer with Moretti blood in my veins. Power is defined by us and I’m about to show these men exactly what that means. My phone vibrates and I check the caller ID as I walk to the car. ‘’Yes, boss?’’ I respond, addressing Adrian as I expect him to gloat. "Viktor called.’’He says and I laugh dryly. ‘’Then I guess you got the memo. I was hoping to call you once I got his head on a silver platter.’’ I speak through the phone as I step on the reverse. ‘’I will handle Vikt
’Someone just came in from the back door! Camilla are they here to kill us?!’’ Cassie cries in fear and I run to hold her in a tight hug before whispering, ‘’Everything is going to be okay. Just remain calm okay?’’ ‘’Oh, I hate loud bitches. Shut her or I will. Permanently.’’ Dimitri growls as he takes a sit on the couch and his goons stand in the corners of our apartment. My thoughts are moving at an incredible speed only to come up with no solution. The only thing I have is fear. I should have known something was wrong when he asked so much about me and from the way that Luca reacted when he saw him. I should have read the signs and like he is reading my mind he says, ‘’Oh don’t beat up yourself too much. You couldn’t have known. But now you do so I suggest you do the right thing and we will all be happy.’’ ‘’I have no money and I owe no one. What do you want from us!?’’ I scream as tears roll down my face. I should stand and be strong but the strength is slowly fading and I can
Camilla The tea flies all over the place as I try to sink in what Luca just said. ‘’That’s not funny!’’ I snap but he doesn’t smile or tease me. He just looks straight into my eyes and I shift uncomfortably. I wait for the moment when he passes a nasty comment to break the ice but it doesn't come. I get more uncomfortable as the realization hits me. He is serious! I clear my throat as I try to digest what is happening until I find the strength to speak,’’ Luca, we can’t just get married.’’ I reason with him but he frowns and I smile at how cute he gets when something confuses him. ‘’Why not? We love each other.’’ He says and I nod although, I’m still yet to believe that this man here loves me. My heart pounds at a crazy speed to hear him repeat that. ‘’Well ...’’ , I begin but he beats me to it. ‘’You don’t believe me?’’ He asks as an expression of pain crosses his features. ‘’I do. I do. It’s just that we have so many things to sort out. I mean I was made to leave because
Luca Without uttering a word, I move closer, my gaze never leaving hers. The air is charged with an unspoken tension, and as I reach her, I gently cup her face with my hands. The warmth of her skin beneath my touch sends shivers down my spine. "What have you done to me?" I repeat my voice now a whisper. Camilla's eyes search mine for answers, and I lean in, capturing her lips with a slow, lingering kiss. It's a moment of passion and a load of emotions, a silent exchange of emotions that words fail to convey. She responds, her fingers finding their way into my hair as the kiss deepens. The connection between us intensifies, the weight of unspoken desires filling the room. I pull back, just enough to look into her eyes. "I can't stop thinking about you," I confess again, the raw honesty hanging in the air. "I want you close, Camilla. Closer than ever." She looks at me, her expression a mix of surprise and something else, something that mirrors the uncharted territory of her own feel
