After her friends are gone, Emma quickly changed out of her jeans and dressed in her sleep shorts and a t-shirt.
She decided to go and check on Luca.
'He was angry a little while ago' she thought.
Emma slowly walked barefoot towards Luca's room. She knocked on the door, which is closed.
Luca just laid down on his bed, when someone knocked on his door. Locking the door from the inside is one of the precautionary measures he takes. In his line of work, it's common to become an enemy to many people, who wants to kill him.
On instinct, his palm reached under his pillow, where he keeps his gun. But then again, he moved his fingers away from the gun.
'Is it Emma? Why did she come to find me so late?' Luca thought.
He prefers track shorts to sleep in.
He walked towards his door and opened it. Sure enough, he found Emma standing outside.
"Kitten?" he said attracting her attention.
The hallway is dark, and she was looking behind her
The next morning, Emma woke up surrounded by a warm cocoon."Hmm" she snuggled deeper into the warmth."Good morning kitten," Luca said from beside her."Morning" she mumbled sleepily, without opening her eyes.Luca slept surprisingly well last night. He is an insomniac. He cannot sleep for more than 4 hours at a time. But last night is the first when he slept for 7 hours straight.He woke an hour ago. Usually, he would wake up and go to his home gym to work out. But today, he woke up to Emma sleeping almost on top of him. He couldn't bring himself to move her away.He knows she feels warm sleeping beside him, so he let her sleep there. She is lying upside down on top of him.Resting her head on his chest, her arms thrown carelessly on either side, her legs between his.He looked at her innocent-looking face for a long time. He wrapped his arms protectively around her.'I will stay with you
Luca had a meeting with all of his underbosses, from all the other outfits, which he took over.The meeting lasted longer than he thought. They hold a meeting every week, to discuss the shipments or the profits from the weapons they sell, which is their main business.Luca hates woman trafficking. So he never touched that. If he finds out any one of his underbosses doing that, he would kill him and replace him with another one of his trusted men.Everyone knows the score. So no one dares to do anything behind his back. As a gift to their loyalty, he pays them generously. Not giving them any chance to cheat him for money.After his meeting is done, he thought of going to Liquid tonic, as he has some work there, looking at the logistics of all the other hundreds of nightclubs he owns around the country.But at the last second, he changed his decision."Let's go home Marco," he told his underboss.Marco smiled knowing the reason."Y
In her dreams, Emma is struggling to pull herself away from the guard, who is forcing her against her will.He is tearing her clothes and holding her tightly, restricting her moments. He is kissing her and slapped her when she turned away from his kiss.The guard is relentless and Emma is helpless. Emma is crying with fear. She tried with all her might to pull herself away from his hold but is futile. He is not letting her go.In her dreams, Emma is calling for Luca, over and over again for the help. Even in her dreams, she knows he is the only one who would help her.So she was crying and calling him to help her."Luca""Luca, help me"Emma's agonizing cries alerted Luca. He woke up with a start and noticed with horror that Emma moved away from him in her sleep.Yesterday she was craving his warmth, and today she is scared of it, Luca thought.That guard will pay for this, he vowed.Emma is sleeping on the edge
Emma is eating absently. Luca is not feeling like eating at all. All he wants to do is, kill the bastard who did this to Emma.He looked at Marco's sister, who is fidgeting a little distance away from them."Come and take care of Emma. I will be back in an hour" Luca told Lizzie.Lizzie immediately nodded her head.Luca then looked at Emma, who is staring into space."Kitten" he called her.Emma looked at Luca when she heard him."I will be back in an hour. Your friend will stay with you. Call me if you need anything. Okay?" he told her.Emma nodded her head.She knows where he is going. She didn't want to think about that. That guard deserves whatever he is getting, she thought fearfully.Luca went to the basement.Lizzie immediately sat beside Emma and tried to cheer her up with silly jokes.Luca found Elijah kicking Thorn angrily."How dare you touch her. She is still innocent despite born in this world
He then turned to Marco."I need you to completely renovate the living area. Throw that couch away and change the look of the living area completely. Change the uniform of all the guards. And also take a few day's permission from Emma's college for her leave" Luca instructed him.Marco nodded in understanding.Luca then went into Emma's room and packed a bag for her. He then proceeded into his room and did the same as well.Emma looked at Luca, who is packing his bag.She started to panic. She is too scared to live without him in the house."Please don't leave me" she pleaded with him.Luca stopped what he is doing and went to where she was sitting on the bed."I am not going anywhere leaving you here kitten. We both are going out for a couple of days. You stay here. I will be done in a couple of minutes. We can go then. Only you and me away from all this" Luca told her.Emma relaxed completely. She nodded her head in agreement.
After she slept, Luca lifted Emma up and settled her down on the bed. He looked at her, sleeping soundly on the huge bed.She is looking delicate and gorgeous, and all his. He didn't understand why he never realized it until now that he likes her so much.It started since the moment Marco threw a bucket full of water on her head. Then she slowly captured his heart, a single frozen piece at a time. She warmed it up with her honesty, innocent, and caring nature and claimed it as her own.'I, the ruthless mafia boss of the New York outfit and many more is a slave to her'. Luca declared.He always thought, loving anyone and caring for them is a weakness. He now knows differently. She is making him look at everything around him differently.He now wants to be more cautious and careful and he now wants to live a long life together with her.He will now be more careful and alert, as he has her to protect and to cherish.He bends down and kissed her
Emma is exhausted. They are walking for the past 2 hours and they are still halfway through.'She has to agree, trekking is not fun. Her legs are aching, she is tired, sweaty, and hungry. When she read in books about how fun trekking is, she thought it is true. I guess they purposefully skipped the part where we have to climb uphill on uneven grounds and the aches in her legs' she thought.Emma collapsed heavily on a big boulder, breathing heavily. She unscrewed the water bottle cap, before gulping the water down her throat."You won't be able to walk if you drink so much water" Luca commented with Amusement.Emma is looking cute with a few strands of her hair that came out of her high ponytail, and now they are falling on her face.She is breathing heavily, and her bare midsection is glistening with sweat. She is enticing."I can't walk anymore," Emma said defeated.Luca shook his head."But we are still halfway down. You will l
When Luca heard what Carter told them, he became furious.'They dare to kidnap and torture my men in my turf? They are getting bold' Luca thought angrily."Is he still alive?" Luca asked Carter.He is asking about the man who was kidnapped and tortured. Carter and Marco both understood that."Yes, he is" Carter answered."Take me to him" Luca instructed.Carter nodded.Carter is driving the SUV, Marco is sitting in the passenger seat, and Luca in the back.In half an hour, Carter stopped the car in front of a huge apartment building."He was living alone. If he was married, then according to him, they must have killed his family as well. They were adamant to find out about who you are and how you look like" Carter explained.They are inside the elevator of the building.'The building has good security, then how did they enter without being detected?' Luca thought looking at the security cameras everywhere.
After 5 years, Luca became the most feared mafia boss in the world. After Alexi's death, everyone began to be cautious in front of him. They all know he is the one behind Alexi's death, but no one is courageous enough to point that fact out loud.Now everyone is scared to trifle with him. They are fearing for their lives. They think they might end up as Alexi, who was killed by his brother. No one understood how Luca managed to turn the brothers against each other, but he did.The end result is, Ivan killed his own brother and is now the boss of the Russian mob. Ivan did not know the full extent of Luca's involvement in his brother's death. He thinks Luca helped him. But the truth is far from it.Luca used Ivan to remove the threat called Alexi permanently. Which Ivan would never find out.Lizzie married Emanuel and Marco is dating a nice girl. Elijah found a partner, whom he met in Liquid toxin and they are happily living together now.Luca began to op
Alexi received a video message from an unknown number. He is drinking himself to oblivion. He carelessly opened the video and began to watch it. The more he watched, the more he began to get angry.It's the video of Ivan taking money from none other than Marco, Luca's underboss.Alexi threw his phone away in anger."You b*stard. You sold yourself to him? You decided to backstab your own brother? First he bought Frank and then you, my own brother? I won't leave you Luca. I will kill you. But first, let me parcel my brother's body to you. Then you would understand what I can do" Alexi said out loud in to his empty room.Just then, his room door opened and Ivan stood near the threshold.Alexi sneered looking at Ivan.Ivan immediately understood Luca is right.'He found out. If Luca didn't warn me before hand, then he would have killed me' Ivan thought."How dare you?" Alexi smashed his whiskey glass on the carpeted floor and it broke in t
Ivan dialed Luca's number after his men left his room.Luca, who is working in his pub, looked at the caller ID when he saw an incoming call."So he bought them all. Good for him" Luca thought out loud, before answering the call."Luca" when Ivan heard Luca's signature greeting, he smiled. He is getting used to Luca's I don't care attitude."It's done. I swayed them all. Now all the 25 men are under my payroll" Ivan informed Luca.Luca smirked."Good. How much time do you need to make up your mind to kill your brother?" Luca asked.Ivan is shocked to his core."I thought you would kill him," Ivan said with confusion."Tsk tsk" Luca made a pity sound."Ivan, if I kill your brother, then I will become the boss of the Russian mob. You will remain as my underboss. That's the rule we always had. If you want to become the next Boss, then you have to kill him. Not me. Whoever kills the existing boss, becomes the new boss. How did
Ivan decided to go and take Luca's money, as soon as he can. As Luca said, it's better to make as many of his brother's men to turn against his brother and work for him as possible. His brother is losing his mind and it's high time Ivan takes the charge.Alexi noticed Ivan going somewhere."Where are you going?" he asked, making Ivan stop dead in his tracks.Ivan tensed."Just going down for some air. Will be back soon" Ivan replied vaguely and walked off the floor.Alexi didn't think much about it, and he began to drink himself to oblivion.Ivan drove off to Luca's pub and there he found Marco waiting for him with a briefcase."Thank you," Ivan said after taking the briefcase and checking the cash inside the box.Unknown to him, everything was being recorded by one of their security cameras. Within five minutes after the exchange was finished, Marco received the video of Ivan taking money from him.He then dialed Luca's
Emma is glowing with happiness during breakfast.She keeps peeking at Luca every now and then.Luca is amused by her reaction."What are you doing?" he asked her with amusement.Emma blushed looking at him."Nothing" she said averting her eyes away from him and concentratrating on her plate.Luca is not having any of it."No, there is something. Tell me, why are you looking at me like that?" he insisted."I .. " she hesitated."You?" he prompted."I.." she tried again, but she is scared that he might laugh at her."Come on. You can tell me everything. Why are you hesitating all of a sudden?" he asked."I am sure you would laugh at me when I tell you" she confessed.Luca smiled at her."No, I promise. I won't laugh" he said to make her open up."I am just confirming that everything that happened last night is true and not my imagination" she confessed hesitantly.Luca's eyes became g
Alexi, when he heard that Luca met Frank in his house, he began to doubt Frank."This Frank is a scum bag. He is trying to play games with me" Alexi yelled out loud.Ivan stood there, unmoving and without responding to his brother's outburst."And for how long did Luca stay in Frank's house?" Alexi asked the made man, who was spying on Frank."Not for long. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes maximum" he replied.Alexi began to pace restlessly."Maybe we should leave NY and go to Russian" Ivan suggested.After all, Alexi is his brother and no matter how angry he is with him, he wanted to give one final chance to his brother to save himself.He can see Luca making his moves. When he finished making his final move, it's checkmate for his brother.Ivan is not understanding his brother's confidence. He doesn't know how he is planning to win over Luca in his own outfit. It's impossible.When Alexi heard his brother's suggestion, he lau
"I .. I.." she stammered with confusion.'I cannot tell him that I love him can I? What if he leaves me immediately after hearing that?' she thought.Luca can see the wheels turning in her head. He doesn't want that to happen. He wants her to admit to him that she loves him. If she starts thinking now, she will make things complicated.So he slowly started kissing her from her cheeks, bypassing her lips, down her neck and the valley between her breasts, down her stomach, and then her core.He kissed her there softly at first, and then with fever. He inserted one of his fingers and nipped her core lips, making her go crazy with pleasure.Emma pulled his head more towards her core, in an attempt to reach the heights she is craving for. Luca bit her core and increased the speed of his finger.In and out, his finger pumped until she lost to the craziness and yelled his name and climaxed."Why did you cry kitten?" he asked when her mind is
But when she saw Luca in front of her eyes, her eyes welled up with tears again.When Luca saw the tears in her eyes, his heart ached with pain."Kitten?" he said with pain.He hugged her closely to his heart.Emma couldn't control anymore, and busted out crying.The others understood that these two need privacy, so they left them alone.Luca slowly undestood the reason behind her tears.'Did I misjudged her reaction as confidence? Is she hiding her pain behind her confidence?' he thought.For the first time in his life, he regretted not coming home to her, once he found out her run in with Tasha.Emma is a gentle soul. She cannot act as bitchy and catty as the other woman in his world. That's one of her qualities he likes the most.'I should have assured her that everything is alright and she doesn't have to fear about anything' Luca thought.Her tears are evident enough that she loves him, and Tasha's words must hav
Marco didn't tell about the call Luca. He doesn't have to. Luca would have already guessed by now and he prefers Marco to deal with this kind of simple threat.It works out for both Marco and Luca well. Work burden would be less on Luca and Marco would feel the weight of responsibility, as his underboss.Back in the Vitiello mansion, Peter was looking for Emma, who didn't return until now. She took her dog for a walk a few hours ago and didn't return yet.The guards near the gates informed him that she didn't pass through the gates, which means, she is still inside the mansion premises.The Vitiello mansion and the area in the backyard are so huge, it's possible that she must have been gotten lost.Emanuel and Smithy are already searching for her, for the past half an hour. But they didn't find her yet.So Peter decided to call Marco."Peter" Marco answered with a smile in his voice.But Peter is not at all happy. He is t
