Luke's POV

It's been a few days since I lost my baby and since then I've moved into Valentino's room. I've always slept beside him anyway, so it just made sense that I move into his room. I'm currently arranging my toiletries in the bathroom. I opened the cupboard and moved Val's toiletries to the side to make space for mine. As I moved the bottle, I noticed a small plastic pouch behind it. Inside was pills, it was the same as the bright pink pill that I took with the vitamins that Valentino gave me.

I took the small plastic pouch and inspected it. My brows furrowed as I inspected the small bag of pills. Why would it be hidden in here if it was my vitamins? I swallowed dryly as my heart started beating rapidly in my chest. I quickly pocketed the pills and placed my toiletries in the cupboard and closed the door.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I'm growing suspicious that it was what caused my miscarriage. I decided to ask Dr. Silvano about it. I exited the bathroom; I wa

    Valentino's POVLuke's settled in between my legs with his back pressed against my chest. We were back in my room after the earlier events. Luke was playing with my hand, tracing the outline of my tattoos. I knew I had to do something with Dr. Silvano, I can't let her tell Luke the truth. I knew Luke would believe me, no matter what I say. For now, Luke's convinced I have nothing to do with it. Given that people around us are already aware of what Luke means to me, it's easy to put the blame on someone else.Luke twisted his body as he started placing kisses all over my neck. I grabbed the back of his neck and placed my lips on his. Luke quickly wrapped his arms around my neck as he turns around to straddle me, kissing me back. I placed one of my hands on his waist, pulling him closer to me. I slowly pulled away, trailing small kisses from his jaw to the base of his neck. I took the skin in between my teeth, nibbling gently on the skin. Luke let out a moan, pushing his hips towards m

    Luke's POVI look out the car window as we make our way back home. I refused to even glance back even a little bit at Valentino. Somehow having this much freedom as I used to is more frustrating than being held captive for the last eight years. It's like I'm only given a false sense of freedom. I could feel Valentino's gaze fall on me from time to time, but I kept ignoring him.As soon as the car stopped upon reaching the mansion, I quickly scrambled to get out. I ran to the main doors, pushing them open to let myself in. I walked into the mansion and froze when I saw Dr. Silvano in front of me. I wanted to feel anger toward her for taking my child away from me, but I only felt the same pain the moment I lost my child. My heart broke all over again as I recall the pain that I went through as my own body forced my child out of me. I just stood there with a million thoughts and questions running through my head, not knowing what to do as I stare off in her direction."Luke, we need to t

    Luke’s POVI sat on the bed after Emilio left the room. I wanted to agree with him, but the prospect of freedom has become far fetch. Agreeing with Emilio would not alleviate any uncertainty, but it will give me even an ounce of freedom. Not agreeing with Emilio would probably bring a lifetime of what-ifs. I let my body fall back onto the bed as I stare at the ceiling, contemplating whether to agree to escape with Emilio or not.The door suddenly opened, making me shoot up from the bed. Valentino walked into the room and closed the door behind him. I scrambled on the bed until my back hit the headboard. Valentino cautiously approaches me as I look at him in fear. He took a seat on the bed, leaving space between us."I'm sorry you saw that. I shouldn't have acted on impulse." Valentino apologized.I didn't respond as I kept my gaze on my lap. Valentino moved closer, making me push myself further into the headboard. "You didn't give me a chance to confront her," I said in a low voice.

    Luke’s POV"I love you, Luke." Valentino suddenly blurted out.I stare at him in disbelief. I've never heard those words without something in return. I moved my head to the side, avoiding Valentino's gaze. Fear suddenly enveloped me. I tried standing up, pushing Valentino away from me, but Valentino held me in place. "You don't have to say it back. Just know that I do." He told me before placing a kiss on my forehead. "You don't," I said as I look him in the eyes. "You don't love me. Nobody does."Valentino let out a sigh before getting off of the bed. "I'll prepare you a bath." He said before going into the bathroom. I lay on my side, my back facing the bathroom door as tears started to flow down my face. I suddenly felt conflicted. I'm given chance to leave and finally be free or stay with a person who loves me. Both of which I'll never know when I'll have the chance to get. Valentino came back into the room, and I quickly wipe off my tears."I'll carry you to the bath." He told

    Third Person POVLuke was settled on the bed with Valentino's arms wrapped around him. Valentino was still awake, stroking Luke's hair as he sleeps. Valentino wasn't going to let anyone take Luke away from him. He knew he had to claim him. His eyes landed on the marks he left on Luke's neck, a smile spreading across his face. Luke was his, and only his. No one else.Valentino slowly pulled away from Luke, pulling the covers over his shoulder. Valentino got out of bed, making sure to not wake up Luke from his sleep. Valentino exited the room and walked into his office. He took the gun out from the drawer and attached the silencer to the end.It was close to three a.m. and Emilio's pacing around the garage, in hopes that Luke will come with him. He wanted to start a new life, tired of all the chaos that comes from being in the mafia. He knew Luke has suffered enough and he doesn't deserve this kind of life, but Emilio has harsh competition. Footsteps echoed around the garage and Emilio

    Luke's POVI was sitting beside Valentino as the plane begins to land. Valentino held my hand as I look out the window, enjoying the view as we descend to land. The landscape of Italy was finally coming into view, and I couldn't help but think of what the view would've been if I went with Emilio instead. I know Valentino asked him to come with us to Italy, but he isn't here. I wonder if he pushed through with his plan already."Where's Emilio? I thought he was coming with us?" I asked Valentino as I turn to face him. Valentino faces me before replying. "I haven't seen him since this morning. He might follow us on a later flight."He must've left then. I gave Valentino a nod before turning my gaze back out of the window. The plane finally lands on the runway before coming to a stop. Cars were already lined up near where the plane landed. The pilot announced that we have safely landed, and we can finally get out of the plane. The door opened was opened by Romero and Valentino and I got

    Valentino's POVLuke fell asleep on my lap the rest of the way. I laid him back down on the seat with his head resting on my lap. I opened the panel and called out to the driver."Get us some shirts as we reach the mansion," I told him, and he nods, and I closed the panel again.We soon pulled up to the driveway of the main house. The car stopped as the car was parked in the driveway. I looked over to Luke and gently woke him up. Luke stirred for a while before waking up from his sleep. Luke slowly sat up, stretching out his arms as he awoke."Are we here?" He asked."Yeah," I replied.There was a knock on the door, and I opened the window. One of the men handed me two shirts and I hand one over to Luke. He quickly put it on as I put on mine before we exit the car. Luke's mouth gapes open in amazement as he looks over the mansion."This is bigger than where we live." He whispered in amazement."Yeah, this is where I grew up," I told him as I wrap an arm around his waist."I still don'

    Luke's POVIt's been two weeks since we landed in Italy, and I've enjoyed every moment of it. Valentino has spent his time touring me around spots in the city, showing me places where he used to play as a kid, and introducing me to people he knew while growing up. I never expected Valentino to treat me this differently once we landed here. I thought I would be under surveillance 24/7, but I was free to leave the house any time I want, alone or not.I was currently in one of the greenhouses in their garden, cutting off the thorns from the roses we picked earlier. Another thing is that I've been spending a lot of time with Valeria. She's been showing me all kinds of flowers that she's growing in the garden. Seeing her, I expected that she would prefer someone else to do the work for her, so it was surprising when I saw her doing all the gardening. These past few weeks felt so ... normal, to say the least. I was genuinely happy, and I felt at home. Something that I thought I could never

    It's been two months since the incident and peace has been maintained since then. The Japanese mafia moved their main house to a gated community near the city after it was destroyed. Luke has fully recovered from his gunshot wound and Romero was granted citizenship, or faked rather, by Haru so he can stay in Japan without hiding anymore. He has also become Alessandra's personal bodyguard or babysitter.Luke and Alessandra are now living in Haru's personal home. Luke has also decided to homeschool Alessandra for now. Valentino remained true to his words and remained in contact with Luke for the sake of Alessandra. Alessandra seemed to have recovered well from the past events, seeing how she was bubbly and full of life. "Valentino's going to be here in a few hours," Luke said, worry evident in his voice. "How's Alessandra?" Haru asked."She's fine. She's actually quite excited to see him. It surprised me," Luke said. "I guess she still sees him as her father."Haru pulled Luke close a

    "I want you to promise me something," Luke said as he wrapped his hand around the knife. "What are you doing?" Valentino said, barely above a whisper."Promise me something Valentino, please," Luke pleaded. "I don't want you to die, I can't. Because for some fucked up reason, part of me still loves you."Valentino weakly grabbed Luke's free hand. "That's a good thing to hear before I die," Valentino weakly chuckled, blood spurting out of his mouth."Valentino, please, promise me, you'll let me and Alessandra stay here. Please, I just want a normal life. As normal as I can have it, please let me stay," Luke said.Valentino didn't answer, he didn't know what to say. He could only let the tears flow down his face. When he still didn't answer, Luke slowly moved the knife and Valentino quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from moving it further. "I'll let you stay. I promise. I'll let you stay. As long as you won't keep Alessandra from me. I still want to see her from time to time," Vale

    Haru was rounding up his men in the main house as they anticipated the attack of the Italians. As Haru was distributing the firearms among his men, an explosion sounded from the left side of the main house, shaking the grounds of the mansion. Haru cursed under his breath as he and his men split to search for more explosives planted around the house. The others went to search for wounded men.Haru pulled out his gun as he entered the living room. One of the men was holding a detonator. Haru aimed his gun at the man and warned him to put the detonator down."Put the detonator down!" Haru shouted at the man in front of him. The man only gave him a sinister smile before pressing the button, detonating the bomb. The explosion sent Haru flying across the room as rubble fell from the ceiling. Haru groaned in pain as he tried to stand up from the ground. He tried calling for his men, but another explosion shook the house. "Shit!" Haru cursed.Haru then ran to the exit as the ground shook ar

    "Buenos dias, Valeria. I see you finally take over again. I'm surprised you even let your son rule for that long," Damaso said as he took a long drag from his cigar."So you're the only one who showed up huh," Valeria said as she leaned back on her chair."Yes. The British could not give a shit about this. The Greeks are probably siding with the Japanese. I don't understand why they would do that. They're both weak. Even if you combine both their manpower," Damaso exclaimed."We need firepower. We'll give them back and grab some from the Japanese once we defeat them," Valeria said."So what's your plan?" he asked."Simple, I have moles in their mafia for a long fucking time now. I'm telling you, I thought I was going to get nothing out of it, but now I've proven that I didn't waste my time on planting them," Valeria said with pride in her voice."What are the moles going to do then?" Damaso asked."Plant some bombs and once they're detonated, we'll sweep out the rest. It wouldn't be t

    "What is happening?" A little voice said while looking at the gun pointed at her dad's head.Luke could no longer hold back the tears from running down his face. He desperately tried to cover his sobs. Valeria didn't bother to put her gun down as she faced the little girl."Hey, sweetheart. We're just sending your daddy back where he belongs," she said."Mother put the gun down. Alessandra could see it," Valentino said to his mother through gritted teeth."Oh shush. You saw a gun when you were three and killed someone when you were six. She'll be fine," Valeria said.Alessandra then realized what was happening and ran to her dad. Haru took this opportunity to grab both Luke and Alessandra and hid them behind his back."Don't let them hurt us, please," Alessandra cried.Valentino cursed under his breath and glared at his mother. Valeria only rolled her eyes. Valentino slowly approached Alessandra and crouched in front of her. Alessandra hid further behind Haru."Come to me, Alessandra.

    "We had a truce, Valentino. For decades no one dared to turn their back on that truce. Not even you. I was wondering why all of a sudden you do something that you know will initiate a war," Haru said while maintaining a calm composure."I didn't like how she was pushing Luke away from me," Valentino said."Luke's not your property. He's an adult who can decide for himself which is something your small little brain apparently can't comprehend," Haru mocked.Valentino clenched his fists beside him. He wanted to punch Haru in the face, but they were in public and if he did, any talk of reforming the truce would be nonexistent."Why don't we have lunch together? It seems like you have already started so let me just join you," Haru said, walking past Valentino.He took the seat between Luke and Alessandra and gave Alessandra a small smile."I'm sorry for hurting you last time," Alessandra apologized."It's okay. I understand you were going through some big emotions. We can always learn how

    Valentino rushed inside the house and immediately went to check on Luke. He walked into the dining area where Luke was helping Alessandra eat her breakfast."Luke," Valentino called out as he approached Luke.Luke looked up at him as Valentino inspected the wound on his neck."Are you feeling okay?" Valentino asked.Luke pulled Valentino near him to whisper in his ear. "We'll talk later," he said and then pointed his eyes over at Alessandra. Valentino nodded before taking a seat beside Alessandra. Alessandra cut her pancakes and offered them to Valentino. He graciously took the piece into his mouth and Alessandra gave him a delighted smile."You like your breakfast?" Valentino asked."Yes, but I would prefer more strawberries," Alessandra replied.Luke smiled at his little girl. He was glad she hadn't noticed the wound on his neck despite the visible bandage on it and he plans to keep it that way. Once Alessandra was done, Elisse came into the room and took her dishes away."Elisse,

    Luke woke up the next day with sensations along his neck. He opened his eyes and saw Valentino on top of him, kissing and sucking the skin on his neck. Luke froze as he realized what Valentino was doing. Valentino noticed this so he lifted up his head and smiled down at Luke."Good morning," he greeted before kissing Luke on the lips. Luke kept his gaze away from Valentino as he caressed his cheek with his thumb. Valentino leaned down and kissed Luke on the cheek before going down on his neck again. Valentino left one last mark on his neck before getting off of Luke."You look even more beautiful in that gown in the daylight," Valentino said.Luke slowly sat up on the bed before getting off, but Valentino grabbed his arm. "Let's shower together. I want to see you again," Valentino said.Luke didn't answer but it was enough for a yes for Valentino. He got off the bed and pulled Luke to the bathroom. Luke stood with his back to Valentino as he took off his clothes. Valentino then wen
