It was Christmas evening and he was currently in his office, checking out the stuff Nicho had brought for him. There was nothing new, just what they already knew. He honestly wanted to find out what Emilino’s motives were but nothing came up. He had thought of calling Nora to wish her a merry Christmas when the clock hit twelve but he decided not to and instead focused on what he was doing. His phone rang and he picked it up and placed it on his ear. “Nicho,” “Boss, we found one of the men who was part of the shooting and took him to the warehouse, I thought I should let you know. the bastard is refusing to spill about who sent him but he agreed to be one of those who shot at us that night,”Nicho told him. “Nicho, let Ted handle things there until I get there, I need you to find out where Emilino might be tonight, I want to end this. I know he was responsible for what happened, I just need to get the reason why from him.”Luca told Nicho, he was done trying to find out why, what b
“Put your dress on and get out of this place,”Luca told her. She didn’t wait to be told twice and got to work immediately. He turned to Emilino who was shivering in fear. The man didn’t even have any form of protection. Did he really think he could go on with his life as if nothing happened after taking the life of his men? He must think he has nine lives. Luca spared the lady a look and his eyes landed on the bag of money in the room. “Hey, you might want to take that as compensation for what the bastard did to you, that’s if you can find your way out of here with it safely, it will be enough to pay for your way out of the country and start a new life somewhere far away,”Luca told her. She looked like she didn’t want to take it at first but she grabbed the bag, Emilino leaped towards her when she did and Luca stopped him by putting his leg out, and the bastard fell to his face. “Don’t fucking take my money if you don’t want to die,”He yelled at her from the fall. “Take everythi
Christmas evening, Nora sat alone in the dark, the new help, Maya already turned in for the night, and even though Nora knew Luca might not show up as she hadn’t seen him for three whole days now, she still sat there waiting for him. The whole Christmas day was spent doing nothing, she had woken up in a bad mood, feeling lonely and useless. before her parents passed, she used to spend the holidays in a happy mood, after they passed, work at the lab and Rose kept her away from feeling lonely, she would spend the whole day working and by evening, she would go out with Rose for fun and then the next morning, they would show up at Rose’s parent’s house and be fed the Christmas leftovers and get presents too. This year was the loneliest Christmas for her, not only was she in a foreign country, she didn’t have anyone she knew and Rose had not called her throughout the day either. she understood that Rose would be having fun and expecting her to do the same, that’s why she didn’t bother t
When Luca had decided to return to the mansion after seeing Nora’s missed calls, all he had wanted to do was make sure she was okay and also wish her a merry Christmas, he never thought he would end up kissing her and wanting her so much, he thought the three days away had killed the want he had for her but jokes on him because he just had to see her, to hear her call his name for him to want her again and now, she gave him permission and was kissing him right back, moaning into his mouth and clearly waiting for him to take their make-out session to the next level. “I missed you so much,” She voiced when their lips parted for a moment, he missed her too but instead of using words, he showed her. He pulled her up on his lap and took off the dress she had on, she wasn’t wearing a bra so just taking off her dress exposed her glorious breasts to him, he took both breasts in his hands and squeezed. “These, oh my, Cara, I am going to feast on these and bring you so much pleasure,”He mut
Nora opened her eyes expecting to see Luca next to her but when she did, he wasn’t in the room, she touched his side of the bed and realized he must have left as soon as she fell asleep, she didn’t expect him to just leave like that after the night that they shared. She got out of bed and went about her usual routine without thinking much about what happened the night before because it still felt like it was a dream and waking up to him not being there made it even more so. If she had not been sore and her neck not filled with hickeys, she would have believed that she had dreamt of him. When Maya came to check on her and give her breakfast, she asked her for Luca and she told her that she didn’t meet him when she came him. She concluded that he might have had something important to do which is why he left so early. The thought of what they did last night and how her Christmas had gone from being lonely to erotic, her face reddened when she remembered how well he had loved her body, sh
Nora didn’t see or hear from Luca for the rest of the week, it was as if he didn’t come around and she had imagined him that night, if she had not woken up sore and with so much love bite all over her body, she would have believed that what happened had happened in her imaginations and honestly, she wished she had imagined it, it would have been better but she lived with his mark for a couple of days and she entered the new year still carrying his mark, it was the first day of the year and even though his love marks on her body have faded, she still could feel them. “I can’t believe that fucker dipped right after we had sex,”She let out. he could have at least called her or anything but there has been radio silence from him, the silence was pretty much loud and clear, she was sure he regretted that his cheating ass had seduced her and fucked her in his family home. “What? You had sex with someone?”Roseline’s voice brought Nora back to reality, she drifted off while on the phone wi
One week, one whole week away from his home because of one woman who would probably hate him right now, one whole week of not being able to forget what happened with her, it wasn’t just sex for him, it was more because if it was just sex to get off, he would have forgotten about it already. Nothing much was going on with him, he just stayed away because he didn’t want to face her, face what it would be that made her different from all the other women that he had ever been with including Emily. He never rethought about sex with Emily because it only happened once, when he was drunk and out of it, it shouldn’t have happened anyway. When they got married, he never tried to get close to her, not even once, Emily didn’t care, she was much more invested in being a mom and also being a friend to his mom, she never talked to him about it and he never asked. If she had not been taken away from him, he would have changed that, he had been on the plane back home with his mind made up to fix his
“Fuck you, Nora,”Luca yelled out in anger when he realized what the bitch had said. There was only one woman currently in that mansion and God help him when he got her. He took his car keys and rushed out of his office in anger. Luca drove to the mansion in anger, he couldn’t believe that he had trusted Nora and assumed she didn’t know anything, of course, she knew something, for all, he knows this might be her plan with that bitch, he didn’t know what they were playing out but he was going to find out from her. There was no other woman in the house and who else would have access to his house when he wasn’t there, she was the only one and he was going to get the answers he needed from her and when he found out that she was one of them, he was going to make sure she pays dearly for making a fool out of him and also seducing him while at it. “Nora? Where the fuck are you woman?”He called out, looking around for her. He went upstairs to her room, calling out her name but there was no a
“I am three months pregnant, we are going to be parents too, I told him last night and Luca is so excited about being a dad again,”Nora told Rose. It was Rose’s turn to tear up. “Oh, baby, I am so proud of you, congratulations my love,”Roseline said, hugging her again. “Thank you, Roseline, it feels so good to have you here with me at a time like this, it makes it even more special,”Nora told her. “You know that I won’t give up an opportunity to see a place like this, this house is a literal castle and Luca said I could take a tour around and he even agreed to be my tour guide, payment for stealing you away from me, he also agreed to one more thing but I am not telling,”Roseline cheered; “Both of you are crazy but I love you guys, let’s go up to the room that you will be using,”Nora said and they both walked upstairs to the room she had prepared for Roseline, they spent the whole day chic-chatting, and even when Luca came back, she didn’t leave Roseline. They had dinner toget
Nora woke up in a happy mood. Last night was one of the best nights of her life. Not only was she going to be a mom, but she was also going to marry the man of her dreams. She reached out for him but the space next to her was empty, she opened her eyes and the bed was empty, she checked the time. “Fucking hell,”she yelped and got out of bed. She had to go pick Rose up from the airport in less than an hour. “You are finally up,”Luca voiced, he was all dressed while she still had morning. “Luca? Why didn’t you wake me up? Rose will be in soon, I am going to be late,”She let out as she rushed out of bed, she couldn’t believe she overslept. “Relax, don’t be in such a hurry,”He said; she gave him a dirty look, it was all his fault that she slept in. “You had one job, wake me up, and you didn’t do it, don’t tell me to relax, you don’t know Rose, she will be super upset if I don’t show up,”Nora let out. “She is already here, I am just coming back from the airport, I went to pick h
“Oh my God, he has a ring,”She whispered and tried to get up from her seat. “Stay,”He said in a shaking voice that he had never spoken in before. “Is this why you have been so nervous?”She asked and he nodded, he was still nervous, if she said no, his world would crash. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. “Aren’t you going to say anything?”Nora asked after a couple of minutes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t rehearse what you were supposed to say,”She continued, he did think about what he wanted to say to her but right now, he couldn’t remember anything. “I don’t know what to say, I just know that I love and want you with me, I am not good with these kinds of things, I didn’t know what it was like to feel like this until I met you, I can’t get the words out that would properly describe how I feel for you, how desperate I want you to be mine forever,”He told her. “You are doing just fine right now, you don’t need big fancy words,”She encouraged him. Her words helped to reduce h
Luca watched his woman sleep, she looked so beautiful and peaceful sleeping beside him. He didn’t know what he did to deserve her but he couldn’t thank the universe enough for sending her to him. Now he couldn’t imagine a life without her. two months, the past two months hadn’t been easy for him but with her by his side, he could do anything, waking up each day to her made everything bearable, he had to relearn how to do everything but it wasn’t so hard for him when each time he looked around, she was there cheering him on. He didn’t know how best to pay her back. She came into his life and never looked back, not even when he told her to leave, she vowed to be with him, believed in him even when he had doubts; her words of encouragement, the way she was there each time he was so close to giving up, telling him just how much she loved him. He could say her love healed him. She never asked anything in return but he vowed to take care of her for the rest of their life. He already had pl
“You bet I will, thank you so much, I will come around soon for registration,”She told her and walked out of the office, it was almost one pm; Luca would probably be looking for her already, Nora didn’t know how he was going to take the news of the pregnancy since they hadn’t talked about having a baby. Maria did say it would be good news so she hoped Luca saw it that way too because even though she just found out, she already loved the baby. “Amore, what took you so long? I was waiting for you,”Luca let out when she walked into his room, he got out of bed and walked to her, wrapping her in a welcoming hug. He could walk now, he was still healing. “The second hug I am getting today, today must be my day of hugs,”Nora mouthed, Luca broke the hug and gave her a look. “Who else are you getting hugs from?”He asked in a jealous tone, Nora laughed. “Don’t look so jealous, I got a hug from Maria,”She replied and went into his arms again. “Maria gets a pass, no one else is allowed t
“Yes, I am sorry for what I said the other day, I regretted it the minutes the words came out, I was only trying to get you to leave, I feel stupid for doing that, I love you so much, please say you have forgiven me,”He said. she smiled; she already forgave him but she needed him to know that what he said was wrong on all accounts. “Apology accepted, don’t do it again, no one wants to be called a gold-digger by the one they love, that shit hurt like hell, I can’t lie to you and say it didn’t, I am glad you talked about it and apologized,”Nora said and planted another kiss on his hair. “Thank you for coming back, Amore, it won’t happen again, I promise,”He replied. “So, you are feeling good now?”She asked him, lifting his face so that she could see him properly, he nodded. She hugged him and they stayed like that for a couple of minutes before she helped him get back to his room. The days turned into weeks and then months, and every day, Luca got better, it was a lot of work an
Nora didn’t know what to expect when she walked into Luca’s hospital room after three days away, she set her mind to him asking her to leave again, telling herself that she would turn back and leave without a backward glance if he said anything like that but knowing she would not be able to do it. The last three days were spent doing nothing, she ate, tried to sleep, and talked with Maria who came to visit Luca yesterday. She did tell her that Luca looked down and even asked about her but that doesn’t mean he still wants to see her. She went to his hospital room but he wasn’t there. She saw a nurse who told her he was getting fresh air and pointed her to where she would find him, she saw him before he saw her. There were a few other people in the healing garden but Luca was all alone, he looked up and saw her, his face lit up for a moment before his expression went unreadable again. She saw the few seconds of delight and hoped it was a good sign. “Hey, Luca, how have you been?”Nora
“I haven’t been to the mansion since and I haven’t seen her, I thought she was here with you, did she leave? Should I call her here for you?”He asked. If she was still at the mansion, calling her to come to the hospital when it was already late wasn’t a good idea. “No, you don’t have to do that,”Luca responded. “Boss? Did you make her angry? Did you both fight?”Nicho asked in a scolding voice. Luca thought about just letting it go and not telling him what happened, he didn’t have to tell him but Nicho was the only other person he could ask about her, and Maria wouldn’t answer him. “Why are you scolding me? I already know I made a mistake. I don’t need you rubbing it in, I kind of told her to leave and she did, I haven’t seen her for three days now and I am starting to think she really decided to leave me, not like I blame her, I said some really hurtful things to her, told her she was around for my money, don’t look at me like that, I regret it,”Luca said when Nicho gave him an
Luca looked up when the door to his hospital room for the ninth time that day but once again, it wasn’t the one he wanted at the door, Nora, he hadn’t seen her since he told her to leave two days ago, and for the past two days, he had waited for her to show up, he felt like an helpless child waiting for his mom, the problem was he was the one who sent her away, it was his fault and now, he feared she might have taken his advice and actually left him for good. “Why did I even say something like that to her?”He scolded himself; he should have called her back and apologized to her but he had stupidly let her leave. Maybe he thought like before that she would be back. When she didn’t come back that first day, he had thought she would the next morning but up until this moment, he still had not heard from her and another day was almost over. Luca looked up when the door opened, hoping it would be Nora this time but it wasn’t her, it was Maria, the older woman smiled when she walked in, i
