Luca and Linda remain in the hug position for minutes because neither party was prepared to let go.He had his hands wrapped around her waist while she buried her head into his chest.They were both silent as no one could construct the right sentence in the heated moment.His right hand trailed up to her red hair and that was when he noticed the incoming Sedan from the other end of the street.He recognized the vehicle as his and slowly released Linda from his embrace. She noticed the sudden change in his emotion and raised her head to see his face. Linda turned to the road with Luca who waved down the Sedan. The vehicle stopped in front of them and Jack came running out with his hands in the air, "Oh good Boss, I was scared for you. You're fine now" Luca could not believe his chauffeur had returned to ensure he was fine. "You shouldn't be here, Jack" "I would have called the cops but you asked me not to. I couldn't leave by boss down here, your um, the lady is home now and Hann
Luca arrived at the living room to see that Hannah was done with patching up Nica with plasters that matched her skin.One would not easily recognize her anymore because her face was almost covered by the cuts. Linda would be so proud of herself when she sees this. "Thank you, Hannah. I'll take it from here" He beckoned at Nica who got to her feet and approached her. They both found the elevator which carried them up. "So tell me, what did you do to them?" Nica rests her head on his chest and he laughed, "What I do best. Added extra because of the fear they instilled in you" She smiled and raised her head to see his eyes, "You killed them all. I love you so much" "I know. The plaster goes well with your skin" Luca told her and she frowned, "I'm now ugly. Right?" "No, beautiful as ever" He winked at her and she returned to place her head on his chest. Everything was set now and he didn't care if he was making her feel good about herself. It was going to be over before the morn
Nica's BMW-3 series came to stop at the entrance of the airport and she turned her head to Luca who was seated beside her with a bright face.Without warning, she pulled close and kissed his lips, "I'm gonna fvcking miss you,"He forced a smile "I know"Luca alighted from the vehicle and slammed the door close, he looked through the open window to see Nica still staring at him with a sad look.After the sex they had the previous night, he arranged for her flight ticket to New Jersey online and made sure to follow her up early this morning so she won't miss her flight.This was the only window he had to throw her out and was not careless about it.Only when Nica was out of Thornhill will he be able to sigh relief."Call me when you arrive in New Jersey" She had requested his contact before they left the mansion and he did not hesitate to hand it over. Hoping she doesn't get to pester him with calls because then, he might get to block her ass. Luca watched her drive away and sighed he
"I'm just gonna note that down and call you when I get to the office" Lucia hung up the call and resumed driving after retreating her phone. Linda was seated beside her in the Ferrari 812 GTS with divided attention.She was always interested in viewing the buildings and the free lives of humans around. "Are you sure you're alright?" That was the third time Lucia gets to ask her the same question. She couldn't say whether Lucia was only looking out for her or noticing something. Well, she had not been herself since the meeting with CEO Luca the previous night. Linda was yet to believe she got emotional and hugged him to herself. It felt good though and a part of her wanted more. She wished they had remained in the embrace for a much longer time. Meanwhile, he was still on his decision to protect her and she couldn't change his mind about it. Even more difficult now that she knows he is mafia and people like him don't back out. She truly hopes he doesn't get hurt whilst tryin
Luca collapsed onto the sofa in the living room and turned on the Samsung TV before him with a remote.He had no plan to drive to work today. Instead, he would chill that morning and probably drive to the boutique, and see Linda.Last night's moment lives rent-free in his head and he just wanted to see her gorgeous face again."Not cartoon..."He cursed at the programme on the screen and switched the channel swiftly to a news station.Luca made to change the channel again but paused seeing the scene where the reporter was standing.It was Classy Chic.He increased the volume.".... the scene of the crime where the manager of Classy Chic was stabbed multiple times and her condition is yet to be determined. She has been moved to Thornhill General Hospital and the police are still searching for a suspect. Is this an attack on her sales of Mermaid X which have skyrocketed because of the model--"" Fvck! " Luca roared to his feet and grabbing the glass cup on the table, she threw it against
"Mr Antonio, are you dating the model?""Is it true you are here to see the stabbed Classy Chic manager?""Do you have an idea of who might have stabbed her? Are you connected to the crime?""Is the model a new woman in your life?""You were at Classy Chic yesterday. Is it true you proposed to the model there? Did she say yes?"All manner of ridiculous questions filled the air as the reporters pressed towards the two with various microphones pointed out.If this was his hotel, the security team at the entrance would protect them from the crowd but the hospital security stood by and watched.Luca had called Jack to bring his sedan around when he went to the lab for the blood test because he had already planned to find and punish the one who stabbed his sister.Linda was getting frightened already by the flashing camera lights and pressing of the crowd towards them.She was not used to getting this much attention and it seemed scary to her.She couldn't help but bury her face into the a
Linda sat in the sedan, beside Luca who had his head down and hands holding tight to the steering wheel.She spoke no word and instead, focused her gaze on the road because this is never the best time to talk.He soon starts the ignition of the vehicle and drove off silently.They arrived at the hospital in no time and that was when he finally spoke, "We have this rule in our family. No hurting of innocent women and children during mafia operations. I've punished others for breaking the rule, meanwhile, I have gone against the rule countless times""I've hurt women when I eliminate their husbands and I've hurt children when I turn them, orphans. Isn't that breaking the rule? Maybe I don't have to slit people to hurt them. I guess I'm born to be the badman"He paused and turned his face to her, "I might have light and darkness as you claim but, my darkness would always overshadow the light"Luca stepped out of the vehicle into the hospital and she hurried after him quickly.She soon ca
A stretch limousine came to rest in front of the Mizzeti mansion and the chauffeur hurried opened the door for Nica who stepped out with her diamond-decorated bag.She exhaled heavily and turned to the entrance to see Layla approaching with a frown, "I was worried when I received the call concerning your arrival""I thought you needed to know" Nica grumbled and moved past her mother for the door.That was when Layla noticed her patched-up face and quickly pulled her back, "What happened to your face?""Did he hurt you?"She panicked and Nica prevented her mother from touching her face when Jacob appeared from the open double door of the mansion.His husk voice sounded, "What's going on here?""Why are you home already?"Layla stepped forward quickly and announced to her husband, "Her betrothed did this to her face. Luca is a monster but, should he do this her?"She was visibly angered and Nica could help but scoff and stand at akimbo, "You make crazy assumptions mother. Luca did not d
