ELENA'S POV

“I don't think that should go there” I called out to him, sitting on the blanket that he had meticulously laid out on the floor.

He paused what he was doing and looked up at me.

“Have you ever made a fire?”, he asked, waving the lighter in my direction.

I huffed trying to look angrily but judging by the smile that spread across his lips, I was probably just embarrassing myself

“No, maybe not. But I don't think so. That won't light” I said matter of factly.

He raised the lighter for me to see and after a few sparks with the lighter, the sticks he had gathered, burst into a shower of sparks and flames

Turning to me with a triumphant grin, he tilted his head. “Thought you said it wouldn't light up,” he said with a grin when I threw a Marshmellow at him.

“Careful, that's our food”, he said laughing out loud.

I wanted to throw another at him but I paused, the sound of his laughter startling him.

This was a rare sight. Seeing him laugh without a care in the world. It made my

    CHAPTER 64ELENA'S POV“Oh, you look even more beautiful than last time,” One of Luca's aunts said while hugging me.It had been approximately 8 days since that kiss on the cliff and Luca had received an invitation from his family asking for both of us to be present for a meeting.This is why we were back at his family house with the people he called family and I to an extent did the same.“You look just as stunning” I smiled at the woman as she led me to sit.The rest of the family was already there, I knew that we were an hour late and even though I had asked Luca about it, he had brushed it off and said he never rushed to meetings like this because he was just rushing to meet another set of problems.Yep. According to him, everyone except his mum was a pain in the ass.“We shouldn't waste any more time,” his uncle said, with a sigh.Luca nodded, his face changing back to the mask of indifference.Over the last week, I had only seen him in a good mood, we had gone on dates, outings,

    ELENA'S POV My eyes widened as Luca came and immediately punched Gabriel sending a stray of spit and blood in the air.“Luca!” I quickly shouted.Cavill removed his cigarette and let out a loud laugh, his body shaking with laughter. “I told you, Gabe. Don't touch the woman. He'll kill you” he muttered, walking off without sparing Gabriel a glance Good lord.Luca was shaking in anger as he struggled to get himself together, his hand tainted with blood.“Luca…please…”Luca wasn't looking at me, he was staring at the man who was struggling to his feet, his lips busted “Be glad I'm not killing you outright but this is the last time I will tolerate such from you. Next time…. I'll use my gun and I assure you it won't be like the other times when it was empty. I will kill you” he warned I held his tense arm with both hands and when he looked down at me, I shook my head.“Are you alright?” He whispered.I looked at Gabriel who touched his lips and scoffed.“It's not worth it.

    ELENA'S POVI was still pacing about the room, it was around 11 pm already and Luca wasn't back.I was worried. Fucking worried. I had called his number a couple of times but it always went to voicemail.What was I supposed to make of that?!Fuck, this was really annoying. The least he could have done was at least tell me where he was going.After a few more minutes of pacing about, I finally decided to relax so I went to sit by the edge of the bed.“Where are you?” I whispered, my eyes stuck on my phone lying on the bedside table.Was I being too paranoid? Maybe but I didn't mind it. I was staring at the phone. Wishing that it would light up because he was giving me a call.Even a message would be nice but nothing. My phone screen was black and I was on the edge already.Should I go look for him? No, that would be shit.Sighing, I got out of the room and went downstairs.Shambling to the kitchen, I switched on the lights grabbed a glass of water, and gulped it in one go.The sound of

Neither did I.He was just standing above me with a smirk on his face while looking down at me while I was tipping my head back to look at him properly until my neck ached so I sat up.I had dropped my phone on the couch with the face down so that Alex couldn't see him.“Weren't you talking to someone?” He said cooly, reaching down and getting my phone.I was just staring at him with a dumbfounded expression. He was so casual about it like he had not almost given me a heart attack.And don't even get me started on how he had noiselessly entered the house and came to stand behind me without me knowing.Fuck, that scared me.He picked up the phone and looked into the camera. Shit, it was still on the call.The reason I knew that was because Alex's sharp intake of breath reached me from where I sat.“Hey,” he said casually into the phone.“H..hi” the girl seemed to stutter.I quickly stood up and snatched the phone from him, sending him a glare.“What the hell

Let go”That made me immediately let her go. Hearing my name on her lips.“There. Now…. I just want to say that I'm sorry for what happened. It wasn't something that could be helped” I quickly apologized, my eyes dropping to the cracked skin around my knuckles.She frowned. “Tell me the truth, where were

    ELENA'S POV“Isn't that how it's supposed to go?” I asked the man sitting in front of me.Luca had left the house a few hours ago for a shipment so his right hand had come in his place to put me through a few things that had cropped up in the last few days.“Ah, well no. I mean, it's possible that the family didn't actually have a hand in it” he said.I raised a brow and took up a paper that was lying on the coffee table.“So basically you're saying that someone who was entrusted in their care died and they had no hand in it?”“Well no, there's no solid proof against them. The feeds were tapped into” he did with a sigh.“Again? Isn't this a concerning issue?” I groaned, dropping the papers back onto the table.“It is but there is nothing we can do about it, I guess” he muttered.“Sam? Ashley or the other one who can't live off caffeine?”, I asked.“Sam left a few days back because his sick mum needed some help in Moscow and Ashley said it's impossible to get something that has been wi

    ELENA'S POVLuca wasn't back yet but he had called to say that something had cropped up and he may be away for the night.I had simply responded to him and dropped my phone back on the table in the living room.The bell rang and I sighed, looking at the video intercom, seeing one of Luca's men at the door so I opened the door.He simply came in, bowed, and stretched a file towards me.“Open it,” I said calmly.This wasn't the time to let my guard down. For all I know, it could have a bomb so I always took precautions.The man who understood nodded and opened it. Nothing.Good.“Who sent it?” I asked, collecting the brown envelope from him“Lorenzo” he informed.Ah, my information on the man had arrived.I nodded and waved the man away. He quickly left the room and I began to pull the files out of the envelope. This was perfect.“Shall I prepare the table for lunch?” I heard someone's voice and I looked up to see Rosa making an entry.She was dressed in simple trousers and a tee shirt

Talking. Or rather here I was, ranting while he watched and listened carefully“Elena, you're being paranoid” he muttered, pushing himself off the wall and stalking off towards me.I stopped my frantic pacing and wagged a finger at him. “paranoid? Luca, that was fucking dangerous and could have put everybody at risk” I lamented.He took a deep breath and held my shoulders squarely, his arms slowly rubbing it. “Breathe, Elena. I understand why you're this pissed off but last time I remember, I told you not to pry…” his voice was calm but I knew he was frus

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

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.
