ELENA'S POV

I 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.

    ELENA'S POVHe didn't move. 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

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

    ELENA'S POV “It should have been impossible” I paced about, saying all sort of things while he just watched.Luca was just leaning on the wall of our room, his head tilted back and his eyes following my tense figure about.I was even surprised that he had cut his trip short, he did say he wasn't going to be home for a few days but immediately I informed him of what had happened, he immediately rushed back home.And now here we were. 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

He had wanted to ditch that plan but I assured him that I could take care of myself.Now I wasn't sure of that anymore.I was stuck in a mall filled with very beautiful pieces of jewelry a

I'm scared of heights, you know?” I asked, tugging on his arm, my floral dress swooshing with the wind.He stopped and looked down at me. “Do you think I'd let you fall?”“No, I trust you”A smile broke on his face and his dimples hollowed as he smiled. “Then don't be so paranoid, I won't let anything happen to you and yes we do have to go to the same spot for sentimental reasons” he continued walking with me by his side“Okay fine, but why though?

You look how I feel. Happy” I muttered.“You're right. I earned myself a lifetime of you. It's something w

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.
