ELENA'S POV

I was transfixed for a second as I stared into those piercing gray eyes that always made my heart skip a beat in the past.

“Elena?”, he called again when I didn't answer him.

“Peter…” I acknowledged him.

He looked shocked then he let out a short chuff of air. “Elena. Where the hell have you been?” He asked with moist eyes.

I opened my mouth to talk when he wrapped his hands around me, embracing me as the scent of cinnamon filled my senses.

My hands fell limp around me and I didn't know how to react to this.

After a while, he pulled back, an excited look in his eyes.

“I was so worried when you just left without saying anything. I went over to your house and I heard…” his expression turned apologetic.

Right. He heard that my own parents threw me out.

“Yeah, it sucked” I confirmed, folding my arms, my eyes scanning the man.

He had changed and it was in a good way. I liked it. He was just as handsome and now more manly and well-built. There was still that sparkle in his eyes

Typical middlemen look. A tall stout body and lean figure, complete with a pipe in his mouth as he greedily watched me with those hawkish brown eyes.“, here,” I said, handing him money for nob well done.I don't know how to feel about the whole thing. Meeting Kiara after so many years and seeing Elena with her ex.Peter Cavill. She had told me about him and the fact that we had run into him today just made me all the more mad.“Thank you so much” he quickly said before scurrying away.This was a cozy house and I wondered what had made her leave the business. She was a total badass when her father was alive and I knew that she could taken over so what had made her leave and go into photography? I couldn't even picture it.Standing in front of the door,

    ELENA'S POV “Did it work?” I asked him as soon as he came out of the bathroom in a towel, his hand running through his wet hair.He hadn't said a word since he returned and he just seemed to be deep in thoughts.Was he seriously giving me the silent treatment?The idea made me scoff.His phone beeped for the tenth time in a minute and he rolled his eyes, pulling it out just as he sat by the edge of the bed, his towel riding up his legs slightly as he did so.I struggled to keep my gaze on his face, noting how his hair fell around his face as he stared at his phone.With an impassive look on his face, he raised his phone up to me and tilted his head.My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed my phone from the nightstand, my eyes roving over my phone screen as I laughed.“3000 likes? You might as well be famous. It's like you're a celebrity already”, I laughed, going through his Instagram account.He huffed at that and his eyes kept glued to the phone. “I was already one”I looked through

We weren't even sure if it was hers, we just confirmed that someone had indeed gone after her life.Was it the person? Reaper?I looked over at Luca who looked seriously agitated.Was he that worried about her? Maybe he still had feelings for her and me as the stupid lovesick girl had gone on to confess her love for him the previous night.“Anything new?” I asked, my voice low.He turned to me and shook his head. “not yet. I don't know if it's the same person. I just have a very bad feeling about all this” he muttered.“What about the Sam you said you were going to check?”, I asked reminding him“As much as I want to, I can't right now. I don't have any evidence against him and besides… I have assigned someone to watch him discreetly”One of the men jo

    LUCA'S POV It had been three days. Three fucking days.And it was torture.Maybe I had been the immature one by staying away but I was completely put out by her words that day and it had sent my mind into a mess.“Who else will be there?” I was on the phone with Lorenzo as I sat on the couch in the living room.“Sources say Carlos is coming over too”That got my attention immediately.Carlos, as in the heir of one of the most powerful families in the mafia world? Interesting. “I think the rest are just some random Dons that you don't have to worry about except maybe Carlos. That man is a snake. Heard he got a name for himself. Annihilator. He's dangerous.” Lorenzo explained, his tone sounding muffled.“I don't care about him. Have you found anything about Sam?” I asked, changing the subjectI don't know why Carlos was coming over, why fly all the way just because Kiara had died? They were not related, he had no business here in fact.A small voice in my head told me that this meetin

Henry would be proud of his daughter” the man to my left had said.We had been here for a few hours already but this was the first time that someone had actually spoken.I was sitting across the table from Luca who had been glancing at me for a long time while I effectively ignored it.What he had said had made me feel like I was inferior. The way he had spoken about Kiara that day made me know he saw her as someone who could take care of herself so why couldn't he see me the same way?The very thought was annoying to me.I huffed in my seat, the red evening gown I was wearing sliding up my lap as I crossed my legs.The man beside me with patches of red hair glanced down at my legs before giving me a grinRemind me why I didn't like men again. There were girls here, planted at the side of their men or somewhere off in the room.After a few clinks of glasses, the man at the head of the table stood up.“We have a special guest with us today.

God, why did this have to happen to me right here?How could I explain it?!“There's no need to draw weapons” another person said yet the mother fucker had a pistol trained at me.Luca didn't budge, his eyes had dimmed to an inhumane level and I wondered if he was still himself. It looked like he had lost all control and just wanted to kill someone.“Drop your weapons” Luca said calmly while Carlos stood up, his mask of indifference still etched on his handsome face.“We don't let the women steal. You know that” the man who I had stolen from breathed out, his eyes briefly darting down to the barrel of the gun pressed at his neck.“He's not wrong” another person said.“I didn't steal from you!” I countered, my eyes wild.The man's eyes widened. “You bitch, dㅡ”That was as far as Luca let him get before hitting him across the head.There was a loud thud and the man fe

There. I said it. This is fucking childish, Luca” I frowned at him.Is this how it would always be? Us shying away from matters like this? No, I couldn't let it go like this. We would solve it.“Elena, why are you hell-bent on it. I said I don't mind what happened… it's not big deal and I understand, Why are you pushing it?” he looked down to drop his toothbrush by the edge of the sink before running a hand through his hair.“Because you're tense. Something's up with you. I swear that I take all my medications everyday at the right time” I qu

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.

    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?!

    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

    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.
