The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 38: Watching him work-out
ELENA'S POV It had been about two weeks after we had gone out to the museum and since then, we had gone out for other meetings and stuff and I was learning stuff fast.Today, Luca came downstairs by 11 am and leaned by the stairs banister just staring at me.“What?” I asked confused, my legs draped over the other as I scrolled through my phone.He shook his head and walked into the room, a smile on his face.“I have something to do now so I thought I'd ask you to join,” he said, his gaze heating my entire body.I dropped my phone to look at him and I sighed.“Fine, what is it?” I asked, waiting for him to explain why he wanted me there.“I want to go to the gym,” he said, crossing his arms.Over the last few days, I had actually been visiting the gym but I made sure to avoid the times that I knew he would be there and now here he was trying to make sure that we would work out together.“Why do I have to be there?”, I asked suspiciously.“It's just nice for someone to watch me while I

LUCA'S POV She was staring at me with a shocked look In her eyes.“Why is she coming over and not just that but staying over?” She asked, her eyes furrowed.I sighed and dropped my phone back in the gym bag.“I have no idea but my guess is that she just wants to spend some time with you,” I said, a frown etched on my face.“With me?!” She asked, her eyes widening slightly.“Yeah, I guess you could say that she's still worried about you from the other day” I sighed, getting ready to leave the place.“Where are you going?” She called after me.“I need to meet someone for a shipment right now. 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. I'll be back by then, she said she'd be here by no

ELENA'S POVI sat with my legs crossed over the other as I struggled to put on a smile for appearance's sake.“Um… yes. 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

ELENA'S POV He was silent but I could see the gentle tick of his jaw as he thought of something.“You don't know who, do you?” I muttered, coming into the kitchen fully.“Nope,” He sighed, looking down at my figure.“Do you have any ideas who it could be?” I asked, my voice low.He sighed and looked at me. “We have guests now, I don't think we should talk about this here. 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

ELENA'S POV The car ride back was silent, I could feel his gaze on me as he drove back to the mansion but I always managed to avoid his gaze, the last thing I wanted was to make myself feel any worse than I already did.After that had happened in the store, Luca hadn't wasted any more time, he had gotten a random bouquet and told the woman who was confused by his sudden haste that we had somewhere to be so he paid and quickly left with me.Fuck.The silence pressing down on the car was unbearable but I didn't want to break it. 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

ELENA'S POV “Sit dear” the woman urgedForcing a smile at her, I sat down beside her and crossed my legs. “I see you're already getting comfortable in the house”She nodded and gestured to the flowers in my hand.“Are those for me?”, she asked with a smile.“Oh, umm it's for you and his mum,” I said smiling.She nodded and leaned back on the chair, her brown eyes staring at me.“So um how are you liking the house?” I asked, trying to ease the tension I felt.She shrugged. “It's not really my first time here”“Oh,” I muttered then looked in the direction of the room that Luca had entered with his mum.“So about the stunt of earlier. I'm sorry if I put you on edge. I just wanted to know what type of woman had stolen his heart”“Ah, it's no problem. You're close to him, aren't you? That's why you're feeling this way”“Oh no, He hates me I think. Let's say my husband pissed him off” she said then smiled. “When he was alive, that is”I was silent, just watching the woman who leaned forwar

LUCA'S POV She had long slept off while I was awake, looking down at her features in the dim light.I didn't like how this was turning out. She was becoming my personal weakness and the only thing that was keeping me grounded. I liked the feeling of having someone but I also feared that she would leave.In the beginning, I wanted to stay away but now I'm not so sure I wanted her to leave.Her actions tonight showed me that maybe she didn't want to also Sighing, I stroked her hair, resisting the urge to press my lips to her forehead again. That would be creepy but I really wanted to.Things were going a bit bad in the group and I couldn't afford another distraction like her, I had someone who probably wanted me dead so I had to keep my guard up.Mum coming with her own opinions just managed to piss me off. Seriously? I should make my cousin the consigliere and let my right hand step down? Bullshit. I had Immediately shut down the idea. My cousin was the last person I wanted to put th

LUCA'S POV “What do you mean you don't know?!” I asked my right hand, my hand sweeping everything on the table off in anger.He didn't flinch, just buried his face in his hands, a look of confusion crossing his hard features.“Don Luca, that was all we got”, he repeated.I had arrived at the goddamn warehouse and there was nothing to show me except the dead body of Enrico. What was he even doing here?“You sure there's nothing else here?” I asked, looking around what seemed to be an office in the warehouse.He shook his head. “We're still looking around but I just had to call you to come see it. Who would have dared to kill Enrico and why?”“That's not my Business. Enrico had a lot of goddamn enemies, my problem Is that somewhere out there, someone with that godforsaken number is trying to ruin the family and it's somehow involved with Enrico. The person didn't kill Enrico for fun. Lorenzo, I don't know how you'll do it but find out who was here” I said, running a hand through my hai

ELENA'S POV“Kill her…”“We should have killed her when we had the chance”“Kill her now”They all advanced towards me with their guns at the ready.No, no. Make it stop.I wanted to scream, to open my mouth but no sound came out, I was all alone.“He's not here to save you now”“You can't even live without him”“Weakling”One of the men with the dark eyes raised his gun, his face quite hazy as he squeezed the trigger.I screamed immediately, thrashing about when someone held me tightly.“Elena?!” The voice sounded distant yet so familiar and the person was holding meNo, they wanted to kill me.I tossed about in the strong person's hold until I was tired.“Calm down. 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

AUTHOR'S POV“What do you mean you didn't get that done?!” Bianca screamed at the man who had come to give her the reports.The man bowed his head slightly and sighed. “Look, Miss Conti. 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. What happened?” She managed to calm herself down to speak.He sighed. “The don came. Don Luca cam
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Torture room
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
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 81: A saviour
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?! What
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 80: We've got tails
ELENA'S POV“Get me all the information you can on him, leave no stones unturned” I said to Lorenzo a few days later as I packed up my stuff in the bar where I now worked as a mixologist as planned.Lorenzo had been sent to drive me back home and he was walking me out of the bar already when Bianca came up to me.“Elena, can I talk to you for a second?”I nodded and told Lorenzo that I'd be out in a minute before going to meet her at the door.“What?” I asked, folding my hands across on my chest.It had been a week since Luca had a crash and he was discharged two days after so I had resumed work three days back and so far, I had no problems with Her, she even seemed nice.“Look about that day in the hospital. 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
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 79: Hidden agendas
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

ELENA'S POV “NO! LET GO OF ME!” I trashed in Gareth's strong arms, tears brimming in my eyes.What had happened?I was at the bar one moment then I saw the news going on about a car crash. 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
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Accident
LUCA'S POV “When you said you were coming over with your wife,I sure as hell wasn't expecting her” Bianca said, pouring me a glass of wine while she gave Elena who was looking around the club excitedly a glare.I took the glass from her and took a sip from it.“Don't say that again firstly and also she's the new mixologist. 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

LUCA'S POV She was still staring at me with those large does eyes of hers and I was waiting for her response. “So why are you looking at me like I said something that was impossible” She blinked and relaxed her head on my shoulder. “It's a bit surprising that you want to employ me in your club or bar or whatever. 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. She nodded, her eyes fluttering close f
