ELENA'S POV

As we sat in the car on the way back to the mansion, I knew for sure that there was some kind of switch controlling this man's emotions.

Because how the fuck would I explain him being casual and mischievous one second in the cafe then keeping a straight face while pretending I didn't even exist while we were in the car.

It was like a freaking switch had been flipped.

I crossed my arms, huffing silently as I stared at him through the rear mirror, an unreadable expression was on his face as he placed a hand under his chin and stared at his phone while going through some stuff.

I wanted to tear my gaze away before he caught me looking, I really did want to but I couldn't. I couldn't help but watch how his black silky hair fell in strands obscuring his blue eyes…those beautiful blue eyes that seemed the pierce into my soul anytime he looked at me. But it didn't feel scary. It felt just right.

And that was why I couldn't tear my gaze away. He had told me not to fear him even t

    ELENA'S POV My eyes were wide with horror and my body felt numb.Luca pulled back and crossed his arms at me.“Get back in. Let's get home” he said, his tone still flat.With a twitching eyelid, I turned to look at him, my lips parted slightly in an iron ‘o’“You killed him …” I whispered, unable to believe the sight I had just witnessed.He sighed and placed a hand on his forehead.“I know what I did, Elena. Get in the car” He said, his tone hard and leaving no room for argument.My eyes turned to the dead man on the ground, his eyes blank and lifeless with a hole at the center of his head.Gagging and trying to fight the bike rushing up my throat, I quickly looked back at Luca but this time anger was in my expression.“You're a murderer” I stated the obvious as I stared at him with disbelief.He was silent and just looking at me until I clenched my fists and hit his chest, making his nostrils flare.“You killed him! You murderer!” I shrieked, knowing fully well he could do the same

    ELENA'S POV The knock came again on the door, this time louder.I didn't move.A loud rap on the door again.I didn't steer.“Elena!” The voice on the other end yelled.I flinched and slowly got out of bed, wondering if I could jump out the window but considering that we were on the second floor, that would be suicide “Elena…I know you're in there. Please.” His voice softened.“Fuck this…” I whispered before opening the door.My heart caught in my throat as I caught sight of him in his morning glory. He was wearing a simply white t-shirt that seemed to expand around his muscles and his grey sweatpants hung loosely around his hips. My lips slightly parted and I looked up at him, noticing how his hair was still messy but he still managed to look good.Just one sight of him and I almost forgot that I was still mad at him“Elena?” His deep morning voice rumbled and my knees went weak.He knew what he was doing.“What do you want?” I asked, trying to keep up a bored expression and ignore

    ELENA'S POV We were standing in this abandoned warehouse with stray objects lying about while we waited.One of the stoic-looking henchmen at the warehouse brought a seat for Luca while giving me a glare like “I'm not getting a woman a seat”Luca simply motioned me to sit instead and said nothing, a blank look on his face.I sat down gingerly and scowled at the guard who scoffed Inwardly and looked away.Honestly, we'd been here for just 5 minutes but I was getting bored. For Luca not to have said anything about the way we were kept waiting, I knew that it was either the said person we were waiting for was more powerful which was unlikely or Luca had something more sinister in mind which was why he was patient.After a while, a door to the left opened and I heard the faint sounds of music booming behind the door as a pudgy middle-aged man stumbled out, his skin shining with sweat.“Don Luca. I was surprised to hear that you had paid me a visit” he immediately said with a smile that m

I knew that I was not much help to Luca and the only thing he got out of this was whatever marrying me made him gain meanwhile I literally owed him my life.Just this once.“What are you doing here?” I asked him, raising a brow.“I'll cut straight to the crap. Come work for me” he simply put out.“Not interested. I don't think my husband would be pleased to hear you say this” I said, crossing my arms as I leaned on the wall.“Oh c'mon honey, he doesn't really like you, you know? He's probably in Natalie's room already. I can give you so much” his eyes roved around my body making me sick.“How much are you willing to pay though?” I suddenly asked.His brown eyes lit up as he saw him walk to him and smile at him.“200 thousand,” he said, his tongue sliding over his lips as I placed a hand on his neck.I tried not to gag from t

    ELENA'S POV It was already 6 pm and I wore soft slippers as I padded down the stairs for dinner.“You're done?” Luca asked from downstairs as he set the table.Just something that I was yet to get used to again. He cooked, cleaned, and did most of his stuff by himself. Why? What was the maid for then?The said maid was standing there and bringing a tray of empty glasses and a bottle of wine.“Ma'am…” the maid said bowing in respect as she sighted me.“Rosa, how's it going?”, I asked her kindly, feeling a sense of connection to the 19-year-old maid.She smiled and placed the tray down. “Great. I shall retire now”, she said bowing respectfully to both of us before quietly retiring.I still didn't get her. She was so kind yet so quiet.“She doesn't talk much” Luca offered sending me a soft smile.I nodded and sat down at the table as he put a plate in front of me.“So uh, what about Enrico?” I suddenly asked Luca who was about to pour me a glass of wine stopped and forced a smile.“Do

    LUCA'S POV I immediately went up to my room and jammed the door, anger brewing through me.What in the nine fucks was wrong with me? It wasn't my first time around a woman as beautiful as she was so why was I getting worked up over it?It was due to the fact that I hadn't touched a woman for so long but it also felt weird because I didn't know if it was just a physical attraction or if I was truly intrigued by her.Sighing, I pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it on the bed without sparing it another glance.My hands hovered over my phone resting on my table and I contemplated leaving the house for a few hours to clear my head. Maybe I could go out for a ride on my bike or I should just fuck it and go to bed.Tough choice.I was about to pick up my phone and call someone when there was a knock on the door.“Elena?” I asked to be sure even though I knew she was the only one who could be there. Rosa had since retired to her room and even if she hadn't, she wouldn't come up to my r

I cursed and tapped him gently “Luca?” I whispered, my palms sweaty.He stirred but didn't wake up, his face squeezing up “Luca!” My voice gained tempo as I hit him lightly on his arm.He didn't even flinch and it seemed like it was getting worse by the way his breathing quickened an

Elena. Oh right, I had given her my private line.“Oh, Elena. I didn't realize that you were the one…” I looked at her number which I had saved as “little wife”, and sighed.“Well, I am. Where the hell are you?” She didn't sound angry that

It's just a dream” a voice that was unmistakably Luca's reached my mind that was clouded with fog.I opened my eyes and spent a few seconds trying to adjust to the bright sunlight that was filtering through the blinds before I could focus on Luca who was above me, his arms holding my hands tight.“Luca…” I whispered.He

We did do our best. Things went haywire at the last moment” he explained.“Things went haywire?! Paulo, I paid you three million just to do this one thing. Get rid of the bitch but you're telling me things went haywire?! Do you know how much that cost me?!” She yelled, her eyes wide.The man clothed in black clothes that seemed to buff out his muscular physique snapped back immediately. “And do you know how much it cost me?! 28 men! Dead! Those were the best in my ranks and they're 6 feet deep now! What do you think this is to me?!”Bianca almost flinched when he advanced towards her but he stopped himself in time and looked away, his body brimming with anger.“As I can see, things didn't just go haywire.

    LUCA'S POV My shoes clacked against the stoned floor as I walked into the small shelter where I had discovered years back and made mine.I probably looked like a murderer or an assassin with the way that my cloak seemed to blend in with the night. Good. I felt like a murderer anyway and I was entering this building with every intention to kill.After I drove Elena home, I helped her to bed, made sure she was fine, and left as soon as she dozed off.Exactly 12:07 am now.“Don Luca…” someone's voice came from the shadows matching my steps as I neared my destination.“Yes, Lorenzo?” I asked, twirling my keys around my index finger while my eyes were fixed straight ahead.“The men are clearing up the scene and they're almost done”“And who's my guest for tonight?” I asked, stopping at the door.“The driver. The last car to tumble over. Thankfully he had only sustained a few hits to the head so he's alive and in the perfect shape to talk. We've…treated him good already” Lorenzo's voice dr

    ELENA'S POV “Hold on!” Luca yelled from his car before he rolled his window up just as a bullet bounced on it.Fuck, that was close. I had always wondered why he had made all his cars bulletproof and now I was seeing why.Lorenzo who was still returning fire turned to me. “The boss?” He yelled over the sound of tires and guns.I gripped the steering tighter. “Yes!”Looking into the rearview mirror, I spied 5 enemy cars. 5. Okay, that was still a lot.Luca's car sped up, overtaking mine and speeding to the front of the road where the alley ended.What in the fuck was he doing.Lorenzo stopped shooting and looked at what was happening, a look of confusion on his face.“Wait, pull over!” He suddenly yelled at meI didn't turn to look at Lorenzo but my eyes widened. “Are you crazy, they're right behind us!”Luca's car reached the mouth of the alley and with a skilled drift of his car, he swerved his car to the side to block the entrance of the alley.How were we supposed to leave?!

I'm sorry. I just lost it when I found out you had a connection with the person who tried to kill my boss. Don Luca has helped a lot of people so when I did my research and I found out that you knew him… I just assumed the worst. Was he your friend? I saw a photo of you both year

    ELENA'S POVI had been here for about 20 minutes already and the atmosphere was silent as I had placed my head on the bed frame, letting his run his fingers through my hair.After he had told me that, we hadn't spoken about it. I was silent and so was he. We just stayed in the calm environment saying nothing.“You know… I want you to hate me he suddenly spoke up and that made me want to raise my head up but his strong arms pulled me down.Another testament to how weak I was. He was injured and still far stronger than I was.“What the fuck does that mean? Why would you want me to hate you?” I asked confused.“Because then I'd know that what my dad said was true. He used to tell me that I was unlovable and I did believe him so tell me how it's possible that you love me?” His grip on my head loosened.I used the opportunity to release myself from his grip. “You're not. You're the best thing that happened to me. We've both come out from homes that tried to restrict us from growing but th

Luca's car.I had called and called but he hadn't answered so I quickly left with Gareth only to receive a call from Doctor Giovanni who said that Luca was in an accident and he thought I should know about it.Thankfully Gareth had raced to the hospital but now he didn't want me to enter the room. I couldn't even see the insides of the goddamn room.“Gareth, let me go” I thrashed in his arms, kicking wildly.“Ma'am, I think you need to wait for the doctor to give his permission for you to go in” he said, trying to make me see reason.I heard the sound of rushing feet and I turned around to see Bianca rush in, her hair messy and her eyes wild.“Is it true?” She asked.I turned my face the other way and I heard her gasp. “Oh fuck, is he alright?” She didn't wait for me to answer, she started marching

I'm here to tell you that you're in charge of her and no goddamn thing must happen to her”, I said, my eyes fixed on Elena who was sliding her hand across the counter.Bianca forced a smile and straightened up, the tiny shirt she wore hiking up to show her a bit of her bra.“When did you start dressing like that?”, I frowned at her.She looked down at her body like she hadn't realized what she was wearing. “Well it's a strip club after all”“Don't give me that shit, you're not one of the girls and you weren't wearing that before I came here” I frowned at her.Her smile faltered. “Oh, there's someone watching me?”“My club, remember?”“I also remember you entrusted

Is it safe?” I nodded immediately, stroking her hair. “Completely. The woman in charge, she'll take care of you and you know I won't ever put you in a place where your safety isn't guaranteed” She was clearly thinking about something judging by the little creases on her lips. “I do wanna know though. How are you comfortable trusting me with this, In your space when you know what I am” she raised her eyes to me and I melted at the sight. When did I get this smitten over this woman? “You're not a what, Elena. I don't know what you think you are but I know who you are and do you wanna know who you are?” I kissed her forehead softly.
