It's been two days since her father attempted to kidnap her. It's been two days since she last saw Luca. He didn't come home for the last two days. Emma is begging to get worried.
She tried calling him, and every time she called, Marco picked up the call and told Emma that Luca is busy.
Emma is feeling insecure and worried. She knows he must be trying to find a solution to this problem they are currently facing, but a small part of her couldn't help but feel insecure.
'Did he realize that I am not worth the trouble? Is he sick of her already?' Emma started to get plagued by doubts.
He never proposed his undying love for her, and Emma never experienced love either. She cannot give a name to their relationship either.
But one thing Emma is sure about is, she cannot live without Luca. If he really decides to send her back, then she prefers to die than belong to someone else.
Their relationship is fragile and new. They both are in a completely n
'Pretend?' That word left a sour taste in Emma's heart.Why is it not real? She wished.'Emma, you know you are out of his league. For some stupid reason, he likes you enough to protect you. So don't act like you are suitable enough to marry him. There is a limit to wish' Emma scolded herself.Luca knows this is nothing but real. But he doesn't want to scare her. She is confused and sad enough with that sale agreement between her Father and Alexi.He is not willing to give her more things to worry about. For now, he will let her believe that it's not real. When the time is right and all this is solved, he will tell her everything, Luca decided.Emma could feel the tears forming in her eyes. But she willed them not to fall.'Why does it hurt so much? It's not like I love him or something. We just like each other. No one has ever loved me since my childhood. Why will it change now? How will I know if someone loves me? I never experienced
Luca turned away and let her change into her dress. He refused to leave the room, claiming that she is his. Emma couldn't do anything but change inside the closet.After she is done, she came out with her combed and dried, hanging on her back in soft waves.Luca turned and looked at her."You are so beautiful kitten, and all mine," he said possessively.Emma blushed at his comment."Let's go" he offered her his elbow, and she linked hers with him.They both walked down the stairs, hand in hand.Like Luca mentioned, a priest and a registrar are waiting for them. Now their living room is decorated with white and purple flowers, not leaving an inch of the gap. Purple and white balloons are thrown on the floor. The railing has flowers decorated and the steps have ballons on them.Marco, Lizzie, Elijah, Uncle Peter, Emanuel, Smithy, and more than 50 other people she didn't know are all standing there, dressed in fine clothes.Th
She softly kissed him on his naked chest.Luca smiled when she kissed him."Why did my wife award me with a sweet kiss?" he teased her.When she heard him calling her his wife, her heart filled with happiness."Now I feel like I am yours. I feel safe and protected. I now have the confidence that you will not let him take me away" she confessed.Luca looked down at her face."With or without marriage kitten, you always belong to me. No one can change that. Marriage is just a formality for other's sake. But you will always remain mine kitten. I am a very possessive man. I will not let anyone touch anything that belongs to me. You stand on the top of my most valuable possessions. My kitten, my wife" he declared.Emma is feeling blessed. It's impossible to get anyone to care for you like this in this world. Everyone becomes selfish over time. But she knows Luca would never abandon her."I don't want to go away from you as well" Emma whispe
After what Luca explained about the document, the ten were in a dilemma."You never were the type to go after the woman. Now you like a woman enough to kill for her. But the said woman is sold to someone else. What a pickle" Matteo muttered.Luca, Matteo, Adam, Gilbert, Peter, Steve, Lionel, Richard, Brian, and Wilson are the ten.None of the other 9 saw Luca going out of his way for a woman. If it was before, then Luca would have voted to hand over the girl to her buyer. But the woman in question is his wife now."How are we going to deal with this? Only our votes will not be sufficient to win. There are 52 more mafia bosses in the council apart from us. A couple of them clearly favors Alexi. They wouldn't vote in your favor no matter what. With this document, it's not easy to win the others as well" Peter analyzed their situation."It's not that hard if we could prove that she is not Franks's daughter. She is not the same girl who was sold to Al
"They called for the council meeting tomorrow" he answered truthfully.Emma's body stiffened after hearing that sentence. The palms with which she was holding him behind his neck tightened."What? So soon?" She whispered with shock and fear.Luca pulled her tightly into his embrace. Emma rested her head on his shoulder."Yes, you should never agree that you are Emma Costello and Frank is your father. That's what I am trying to prove and protect you from that document and your buyer. Try and install it in your brain that, you are Gio's sister and now my wife. Even if you see your father, act as if you don't know who he is. Alright?" Luca told her.Emma nodded her head in understanding."Remember kitten, don't look at your father or engage with him at all. He will try to make you uncomfortable and even provoke you. Don't go there kitten" he is trying to make her understand that, she will be under the spotlight.Emma started to panic.
The next morning, Emma woke up alone in the bed. She started to panic until she heard the shower running inside the bathroom. She relaxed a little.But the thought of what's in store for her today made her stomach knot with fear.'I hope I could get out of this unscratched' she thought.Luca finished his shower and walked out of the bathroom with just a towel hung low around this hips.When the door opened, Emma looked up and blushed furiously.She immediately turned her head away.Luca is amused by her reaction."This is not the first time you are looking at me like this kitten" he teased her.Emma's blush deepened, but she didn't look at him again.Luca intentionally walked to where she is still sitting on the bed and bent down a little. Now his face is inches away from hers. She is covering her body with the blanket.He tugged at her blanket and it polled around her waist.He pulled her out of the bed and mad
The council always meets in a seven star hotel. This time is no different either. They decided to meet in a seven star hotel which is owned by Luca.As the issue is his, they all came here for the meeting. All the expenses of their stay and arrangements should be taken care by their outfit.Luca ordered not to allow any commoner inside the hotel today. It's not safe for them in between so many mafia bosses.He know they will stay in the hotel tonight and will leave tomorrow. He has microphones in every room allotted to each boss. He needs to know who is on who's side and what they are planning. He doesn't want to take chances, when Emma is involved.Their car came to smooth stop near the entrance of the hotel. Luca got down and walked to the other side to open the door for Emma.He opened her door and she got down hesitantly. She wants to stay inside the safety of the car. She doesn't want to go anywhere near them. But one look at Luca and she kno
She couldn't hide behind Luca and let her buyer bad mouth him. So she took a deep breath and reluctantly stepped beside Luca, forcing Peter to make place for her.As soon as Emma took one look at Alexi, she shivered with fear. The evil satisfied glint in eyes is making her uncomfortable. She wants to run as far away from him as possible. But she doesn't want the give him the satisfaction, showing him her fear.Emma reached for Luca's palm and tangled her fingers with his. She is looking at Luca , but she could feel his dissatisfaction.Emma looked straight in to Alexi's eyes."Even if I look at you a thousand more times, I don't think I would prefer you any where near me. If they decided to give me away to you, then have fun with my dead body. I will not you touch me when I am still breathing. I don't think you are a better choice when compared the him" Emma told him, with a blank face, exactly like Luca.The 9 chuckled at her bold answer to Alexi's tau
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
