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

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

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

Huh?” He asked.I rolled my eyes. “Don't ask me that. That's just weird” I said, my body hot as I stood up from the couch.He sat up and watched me move in the dim light.“Where are you going, Elena?” He asked, his tone husky.“I just think I should grab a bite of something” I muttered.In reality, I wanted to just avoid him but it seemed that he wasn't getting the hint.“You sure? You look tense?” He said with a hint of amusement.I turned to him from the kitchen and frowned. “I am not. Anyways, I think I should head up, I just lost my appetite, thank you very much”He groaned and stood up from the couch, his eyes still sparkling with excitement.“So what now? You're gonna avoid me when you just kissed me?”, he said bluntly.I bit down on my lower lip, taking a deep breath

Scars.My eyes widened and I sat up, he was still talking on the phone but he suddenly tensed as if realizing I was already awake.“Fast,” he said simply, then hung up the phone.Turning around to look at me while I groaned having lost sight of the tattoos and scars, he smiled at me.“Morning..” he said huskily as he leaned down to press a kiss to my forehead.I could get used t

    ELENA'S POV A day passed in a blur after that and now, we were standing at the airport, coming out of Luca's private plane, his guards at the airport hurriedly coming to take our luggage.“Kings Hotel,” Luca said simply as one of them with a black suit unlike the rest approached us.The man looked over me and bowed before nodding and leaving.“Kings Hotel?” I asked, looking up at him through my dark shades.It was impromptu so I had only packed light clothes and a few other necessities. Now I regretted it, my choice of clothes was terrible. This place was freezing.“Yeah, that's where we'd be lodged,” he said, his suit creasing slightly as he adjusted his cuffs, his hard eyes staring at the black car approaching us.“I would have thought you owned a mansion here” I muttered.He looked down at me amused just as the car pulled up beside us. “I do but there's no need for people I'm here, is there?” He asked, opening the car door for me.“Oh right, as guessed. Anyways…”, I muttered, clim

I don't want to go meet Kiara with you. No offense…” he muttered.That got my attention immediately. Who was Kiara and why couldn't I follow him? He had simply said he was going to pay a visit to an old friend here and nothing more.“She's just a friend. Was a friend” he muttered, dropping the shirt onto the bed.“Hm. So have you heard any news from the reaper?”, I asked, trying to so desperately change the topic.“No, he

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

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.
