The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Forty-One
Luca The evening couldn't have been more perfect, even with Priscilla lingering around like the shadow of an old memory. If I knew that she would be here, I wouldn't have brought Laura. Rather, I wouldn't have come at all. I know what my mother is trying to do and I don't appreciate it whatsoever. She knows what I think about Priscilla. Yes, she was my first love, but whatever transpired between us is in the past. She has no business being here, trying to disrupt my future. I needed her several years ago. I have no use for her now. I glance at Laura. She's listening to something my father is saying attentively. Her hair is down and tucked behind her ear which is adorned by a pearl earring. She looks lovely tonight. Absolutely stunning. I can't stop looking at her, and I'm sure this feeling that I have is never going to go away. I'm waiting for her to finish her dessert so we can get out of here. Although I loved having her here tonight, I wish the circumstances had been different.

I open my eyes and yawn. I had a good night's sleep, and quite frankly, I haven't been this happy in the morning for a long, long time. There's a permanent smile on my face and it's all because of Luca. I can't think about last night without blushing. I never thought that I'd feel this way about him. The change within me is drastic but, frankly, I don't regret it. I'm glad that I changed my mind about him. I keep asking myself how things would have been if I had chosen to ignore his advances. I wouldn't be feeling this way, and it feels almost ludicrous to not feel like this. "Luca," I whisper his name, then touch my lips with my fingertips. I can't begin to describe the way his kiss made me feel. It was like he was prepared to devour me whole. I've never been kissed that way before. And he kissed me without having to touch me anywhere else, and yet that kiss was enough. How would it feel to have his hands all over my body? The thought makes me shudder. I wanted him to touch me, th

A sound of disappointment leaves my lips. I shove my phone back under my pillow and lay my head on it but sleep doesn't come to me. I can't sleep with this feeling burning my chest and ripping me apart. This is the third day that I wake up to absolutely no news from Luca. It's been three whole days since we've last seen each other, and talked for that matter. I knew that something was off that day, but I didn't know just how bad things would get. There has to be a reason. Before, I thought that he needed some time and anyway, we couldn't see each other everyday. He was a busy man, after all. He had things to do. Having lunch with me probably wasn't on his list of top priorities. This made me sad, but it's the truth. We're adults. We have busy lives. I don't, but he has. But he hasn't texted or called. I haven't heard any news from him whatsoever. It's discouraging. Sure, we're not teenagers anymore who constantly text each other and ask how our days went and if we had something to

I can't help but glance at him for the twelfth time. He hadn't said much to me in the car and it reminds me of the last time. Deep inside of me, I can't help but wonder if this is the real Luca and whether all the other versions of him I saw were fake and designed to lure me in. If so, he didn't finish the job. I'm enchanted with him but I could extract myself from this situation if I decide that it's the best decision for me. I won't stay in a toxic pre-relationship simply because I can't admit the facts to myself. The fact is that he has changed. Drastically so. I don't even recognize the man that's sitting beside me in the car. It doesn't feel like he's the same man I danced with and kissed that night a hundred years ago.I give up glancing at him and stare out the window instead. The view of the city is much more pleasant and less confusing. I purse my lips and try to keep my anger superficial. If he wants to see me, it's for a good reason. I tell myself this so I don't freak ou

I won't lie and say that I'm not nervous. I can't begin to imagine what Sarah Ferrante might want to speak to me in private about. About Luca, sure. But what exactly? I close my eyes and rest my head against the headrest of his car. I think of Eliza at the mall. I hope Sarah won't do the same and try to warn me to stay away from her son. I’m not someone who gives up easily. I never have been. I have a stubbornness that I inherited from my father, apparently. That’s what mom always said. My father walked into this life not knowing what he was getting himself into all those years ago and he didn’t crumble. He was driven for the love he had for her. And us. My late grandfather gave him no other choice; it was either he joined the family and became one of them, or he would have him killed and make his daughter a widow and Mary an orphan. Despite the fact that he came from a normal family, he never gave up. He adapted. But I’m not sure how much it took from him. It must have been a lot

The past few days have been hell for me.Things between Eliza and Miguel couldn't have been worse. I know this because their problems are becoming more public, I'd say. She argues with him in front of everyone these days and things are getting out of hand. They've been bad ever since they crashed the yacht. She pushed him and he lost control. I'm sincerely hoping that I won't cross her path, not while Laura is here in the house with me. I didn't want to bring her, but when my mother told me that she wanted to talk to her, I didn't know what to say to her to change her mind. My mother isn't the kind of person who changes her mind on a whim. If she decided that she wanted to talk to Laura, nothing would stop her from doing so. She told me that she wanted to talk to her to get to know her, but I'm worried and I don't know why. No, I do know why. She's Priscilla's number one supporter and although she hasn't talked about her to me yet, I'm hoping that she has finally understood that Pris

A few hours earlier...Kissing Luca is always a magical moment and I'll never deny that. It lights my soul on fire, and all I can think about for hours on end is how his lips felt against mine and how my heart was in my throat when he touched me. But after the moment, a wave of guilt crashes into me, so powerful that I lose the ability to breathe. I can't kiss him without thinking about Mary. It's sickening and wrong, and it fills me with shame so deep that it can't be unrooted. Luca notices. Of course he does. He notices everything and although I'm flattered that he pays so much attention to me, it's frustrating not being able to keep this a secret. I close the front door behind me and lean against it. I wish I could be more open to this; to him. I wish I could throw myself in his arms without feeling so much remorse. Things would be so much easier, and I'd be able to say to myself that I love him. The words are on the tip of my tongue but there's something pushing them back and fo

I didn't call Luca right away. I stayed outside for the longest time, deciding what to do even though I had already made my decision in my father's office. I walked around and around, thinking deeply. Wondering if I was making a mistake. The neighbors drove past and saw me pacing back and forth like a lunatic. They all gave me odd looks. I wonder if they can tell that I've been kicked out of my own home because I refused to obey their orders. How can they expect me to break things off with Luca so that Mary might have a chance? How can they ask such a thing of me and call me selfish when I refuse to do it? I haven't known Luca for long. And I spent half of that time hating him. This is risky. I know it is. If I abandon everything I've ever know because of him and end up with a broken heart, I won't survive it. I'm giving up everything for him. To be with him. It's insane. Brett and Victoria wouldn't approve. They wouldn't even recognize me. I don't recognize myself. The sun was s

The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Eighty-Two
LucaI'm the last to see Laura, mostly because I want us to be alone for a long time. There's a lot I have to say to her, and I suspect that there's a lot she wants to say to me. She recovered well, and the doctors expect that she'll recuperate fairly quickly. She's tough. She broke a few ribs during her fall and fractured her skull, but she'll be just fine. It could have been a lot worse. She could have died. She could have been paralyzed from the neck down. But she survived. When I saw the crime scene, I realized that a miracle must have happened, because there was no way she had made it out alive when Miguel and Mary had over twenty guns in the apartment with them. The bloody scene was also an indication that something terrible had happened. We didn't have the details, but the police connected the dots fairly quickly. Miguel and Mary were lovers. Judging by the evidence they found, he was involved in the shooting. I was disappointed. Beyond that. I had no words for what I felt. I

I crack my eyes open. The light ahead is too bright, so I close my eyes for a while longer before opening them again. My head spins. I'm awake yet tired. My closed eyes make me fall back asleep. When I awake, I'm in the same place, but my mind is so hazy that I'm having a hard time figuring out where I am. I look to my left. My head practically snaps in that direction. There is someone beside me. Someone in white clothes. I look at her face, and her eyes widen a little and she leaves the bedroom. I groan. I wanted to ask her where I was and who she was, but I couldn't open my lips. My tongue is too heavy in my mouth. When she returns, she isn't alone. There's a man in a white coat beside her. He says, "Laura. Laura. Can you hear me?"How does he know my name?I fall asleep to the sound of his voice. I sleep easily. I dream of nothing. I have no concrete thoughts. I wonder where I am and wonder when my head will stop being so fuzzy. When I reopen my eyes, I see something interesting
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Eighty
“Stop!” Mary shouts. We both turn to look at her. She takes a few steps and reaches Miguel’s side. She stretches her arm out. “Give it to me.”“Why?”“I should be the one to do it,” she says. “Just as you’re the one who’s going to kill Luca. That was the plan. That’s what we agreed on.”“We never agreed on anything like that,” he says with a frown. “It was my idea to lure her here and so I have to be the one to do it.”“Miguel,” she says through gritted teeth. “Give me the knife!”I can’t believe they’re fighting over who’s going to kill me. It’s truly unbelievable. I look back and forth between them helplessly. If I stand, he might stab me in the back to stop me from reaching the door and that’ll ruin all of my chances of escaping. I don’t want to die here. I can’t die here. I’m suddenly so desperate to leave here and live. I want to see Luca again. I want to see my father again. Constance. My friends. I can’t die here at the hands of these deranged people. I can’t be another victim
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Nine
It took everything within me to come here. I park outside the apartment building. I stare at the third floor. The windows are all closed. It's hard to imagine her in there, in my apartment. Polluting my sacred space with her negative energy and bad intentions. I climb out of the car. I don't allow myself to think. She wants this to end, we can end it now. I've hidden behind people for far too long now, and look what has happened. I can't let anyone else die because she's targeting me. That's cruel. I'm just as bad as her if I let such a thing happen. I didn't tell Luca. I didn't tell anyone I was coming here. I'm unarmed. I didn't call for help. There is no plan. There is just me. Me and her. As it's supposed to be. I close the door and take a deep breath before entering the building. The sun is starting to set and the sky looks beautiful; too beautiful for such a thing to be happening. The oranges and the purples are magnificent. I'll never forget the way the sky looked when I con
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Eight
Yesterday feels like a terrible nightmare. Twenty-four hours has passed since those men stormed into the hotel and shot seven people. Seven people lost their lives, Luca's father and my mother were amongst the dead. I can't believe it. I repeat the facts to myself over and over again and still can't believe that such a tragedy has happened. It can't be possible that my mother is dead. That Luca's father is dead. And all because of some silly revenge that doesn't matter. All because I fell in love with Luca.I'm devastated. I don't think I'll recover from this anytime soon. I'm crippled by pain. And the worst part of all of this is Luca's pain and how raw it is. Marc didn't deserve to die at the hands of those traitorous shooters. I call them traitorous because they were invited to the party under some head of some family I don't even remember. It doesn't matter. What's done is done. We've lost two members of our family. My father is inconsolable. Sarah is inconsolable. Luca is abso
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Seven
The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It was only Luca's family, mine, and Brett and Victoria. We didn't need a lot of people there. I've learned during all of this that Luca doesn't necessarily have a lot of friends. He has people he is very well acquainted with, but no close friends. He doesn't let anyone get close enough to him, because there's a side to him that he only shows the people he loves and he needs to keep it protected. It's too tender to be exposed to the world. I consider myself to privileged to be loved by him. He takes care of the people he loves. He knows how to love. I said yes with tears in my eyes. I didn't think I'd cry, but I did. Everything feel so official now. We're finally married. I'm his wife, not his fiancée. It's strange to think that I became his wife without having been his girlfriend first. It's just one of the many thoughts I had when he slipped the wedding band on my finger. We kissed and he held me for the longest time. I was hesitant
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Six
Luca Our wedding is tomorrow, and I'm not sure what to feel about that. It’s not that I’ve suddenly become indecisive. I know I want to marry her. I’m sure of my love for her. I’m not happy that we’re marrying this quickly but I also understand why it has to be done. My father was right; anything could happen to me at any point. If that’s the case, Laura is entitled to everything I have. It’s safer this way. But despite this, should we have given it more time? Would it have been best if we waited for things to blow over? That way, we could I have done things more calmly and wouldn’t have to rush like this. I don’t know anymore. I turn to look at Laura. Her back is facing me and she looks like she’s been asleep for some time now. I notice that she doesn’t really sleep at night. She spends a lot of nights awake; like me. So whenever she sleep, I feel easy enough to sleep as well. But tonight is different. I don’t want to sleep. If I do, I’ll wake up and it’ll be tomorrow. The weddi

"How's my favorite preggie doing?" Brett asks as soon as I answer the phone. I can't help but smile as I pop a grape in my mouth. "I don't feel pregnant yet, you know? It's just normal. I won't even lie."He chuckles and says, "You're just a cold-hearted bitch. My mother said that she could feel me from the second she found out that she was pregnant.""You haven't considered the fact that maybe she lied?" Victoria asks. I can tell from the sound of her voice that she's looking for a fight with Brett. "My mother said she didn't feel me either.""Well, that's you," he says with a sigh. "I'm different, then. Maybe those babies are the most magnificent and remarkable ones."I frown. "You're saying my baby won't be remarkable?""How can you say that?""I'm not saying the baby won't be remarkable!" he exclaims. "I'm saying that I was! Jesus! Give it a rest, you two! Stop being so annoying! Just stop!"I giggle and Victoria does the same. She then says, "I can't believe that we didn't get t
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Four
When Luca asked me whether I wanted to marry him anytime soon, I said yes. I would have waited longer if it were up to me. I really would have. I had no problem living the way we did. Alone. Free. Not caring about what anyone thinks. Not following traditions too much. It was the liberty I felt when I left my parents' house. But now that I was pregnant, that all changes. My father would want a date. And I'd have to give it to him. So I did. Things were happening quickly again. I was feeling quite overwhelmed with everything. My father was very happy when I told him I was pregnant. He was even happier when I told him I'd marry Luca in two weeks' time. He was strict about that even though he wasn't raised in our world. My mother was ecstatic as well. I never in a million years would have guessed that she would have reacted that way to the news. She even cried as she held me. I didn't know how to react so I simply watched her. The same happened with Constance, although with her my re
