ELENA'S POV

I was embarrassed immediately I became normal. I had almost lost control at his house.

In front of his mother!

That was bad and worse still Luca hadn't said a damn thing and it only made me more nervous because I couldn't tell what he was thinking as his expression was completely blank.

His eyes were focused on the road. Too focused. He didn't need that much focus.

“Are you not going to talk about it?” I finally muttered, my gaze darting outside the window.

He looked over at me and then back at the road. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Did I? I didn't but I also wanted to know what he was thinking.

“I don't want to but it'll be nice If I knew what was going on in your head. You haven't said a word yet” I muttered again.

“Speak up Elena. I can't hear you properly. I'm driving, you know?”, he requested, in a calm tone that made my heart ache.

Why wasn't he bothered? Shouting that I had almost blown our cover? It made me feel bad.

Slowly, I repeated myself and he looked over

    ELENA'S POV “Your wife?” I heard for the umpteenth time that night at the dinner where we were, which was apparently a meeting.The man in the crisp black suit with a woman hooked around his arm smiled at me.“Yes, I must say that it has been a while since I saw you here, Axel” Luca said, looking the man up and down.The man's left eye twitched, a slight gesture but I still noticed. Seems like they had history.“You could say that I couldn't turn down the offer of a meeting. I have a group to run, don't I?” The man smiled at him and the girl who was at his arm looked me over with a glare.Wow.How nice.“What's your name?” The man whose name I just realized was Axel asked me.“Call me Elena,” I said, nodding at him, my arm around Luca's.Luca looked down at me and smiled before glaring at the man. “Don't call her Elena. You don't deserve that, call her Mrs Ferraro. Sounds better doesn't it?” His eyes were blazing with a fire that I rarely saw.Axel smiled and nodded. “Whatever you sa

    ELENA'S POV It was dark already and I could hear of thunder rumbling in the distance.We had gotten home a few hours ago and Luca had excused himself briefly to get something upstairs, leaving me alone in the kitchen, my eyes briefly darting out the window at the dark sky that threatened a downpour.What was it with the rain these days?Luca had said he would cook something for me which was why I was still in the kitchen this late at night with a cup of tea in my hands.I held the mug tightly, the lights in the living room turned off as I looked out the window of the house again at the storm before I stopped and went to sit, the sound of the thunder soothing me.I leaned back against the couch after setting the mug back on the table while I focused on letting my head relax.My mind traveled back to the drugs we received that evening from Doctor Giovanni. A part of me hoped the drugs would work perfectly and I would be rid of the plague as I termed it now but a part of me knew the lik

    ELENA'S POV“...and this right here…”, the guide was droning on and on but my mind was on not disgracing myself and Luca by picking something by mistake. The drugs were working but you may never know. I have never been to a place where I don't pick something before. especially when it's somewhere as beautiful as the Museum. it's not like there's anything to steal but.... when have I not stolen even the most useless of things? Because of this, I turned my entire focus on the man who was standing beside me staring at an abstract piece of art.“What? You like it?” I asked, my voice a slight whisper, trying to distract myself from even thinking of picking. He smirked and looked down at me, his blue eyes contrasting with my brown ones.“Yeah, do you know what this means?” he said pointing off to another painting of a girl in a dark place with several elements across the piece.I looked at the art for a brief moment and nodded. “Yeah, I think”He looked down at me again but this time it

I would have liked to go with you but I think you need to prepare yourself for my mum so I should head out and do it quickly”, I said, already at the door ready to go out.“Wait, are you leaving me here alone with your mum?” She shrieked and I smiled knowing that she couldn't see the amusement on my face since I was backing her.“No of course not.

Indeed” I nodded unconsciously to the other woman sitting beside his mother “You're really pretty,” the woman beside his mother said for the fourth time in a minute.“Ah thank you very much. Luca takes care of me very well” I said forcing a laugh at the woman.The woman looked over at Luca's mother and smiled. “You must be lucky to have her as his wife. They suit each other so well”His mother laughed, a ringing sound that made me look at the doorway hoping that Luca got my text.He had promised to be here In time and though I knew that his mother had shown up earlier than planned, I didn't feel comfortable being alone with her and this other woman. Not like I didn't trust them but I was just nervous and I had anxiety sometimes.“So tell me where did you say Luca went to again?” His mother suddenly asked, looking at me.“Ah, he stepped out”, I said vaguely.“He did

Maybe later in my room” he suggested.My heart skipped a beat. “I should come over to your room?”He furrowed his brows and folded his arms across his chest.“My family is around. Of course, you're sleeping in my room” he said with a tone that was confused and basically saying “What the fuck did you think would happen?”“Oh, right right. I understand, I think” I muttered nodding my head fervently.“So later at night. We may head out soon though” he said, his eyes dimming slightly as though bored.Whew. He always has somewhere to go. “where is it this time?”“I wanted to get a gift for my mum,” he said, his voice tur

I was always this way after a fit but this was one of the few times that I was saved from a fit. I usually got away with what I stole and most of the time I felt bad afterwards but what could I do? I accepted that it was a part of me a long time ago.“Um... Elena?” I heard Luca say, his eyes still fixed on the road.I quietly turned to look at him, a fragile and vulnerable look in my eyes.He looked at my eyes briefly and something in his eyes broke, a feeling

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.
