All Chapters of Betrothed To The Mafia Lord : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Sofia’s POV A week has passed since the night Luca and I attended the wedding party together and the night it felt like things officially changed between us. He always returned home on time to have dinner together and ever since he had started to return home for dinner, I had stopped having dinner with Matilda and Sarah. We usually talk whenever we were having dinner and when I think the conversation between us couldn’t get any better, it became so much better and as each day went by, I was always finding myself being drawn to him so damn intensely, and I hadn’t tried to fight the feeling from tne very start, because he hasn’t given me any reason to.He had been nothing but really good to me. He literally treats me with so much care and respect, something I hadn’t even bothered to try using to deceive myself that I was going to get married, right from the moment I got told that I was feeling to get married to him.Now, look at me at the moment, I was living nothing but a nic

I’ve always dreamed of furthering my education, because it would make me feel more complete and accomplished as a woman, and it would also make me feel more equal with the men here in the mafia, seeing as only men were allowed to further their education and be whatever they want to be… why the women were to stop at high school, and be married off to a man, and then to birth babies for the said man and that was that. It didn’t matter to people that we were growing and getting more advanced, it didn’t matter to them that everyone in other countries were leaving their old ways behind and making way for new things to come in, it didn’t matter that gender equality was now recognized in a lot of other countries, all they care about for here in Italy, was the fact that the man were on a higher level compared to the women. It was like a food chain, whereby the males were at a really higher part, and the female at a lower part, the females were expected to take the crumbs from the males witho

Sofia’s POV He didn’t let me continue with what I was about to say, before he was interrupting me calmly, his hand still moving up and down on my arm, from my elbow to the upper side of my shoulder.“No, it isn’t. I’m sorry I brought it up.” He started to say once again, breathing out those words and saying it with such passion, and I started to shake my head in the next second, as I sniffed back tears once again. “It’s alright,” I breathed out, my voice fracking a little, but I ignored that and decided to continue to speak. “I can talk to you about it.” I breathed out in a voice that was quiet, breathless and trembling a little.“You don’t have to speak about it if you do not want to.” Luca started to speak instantly, his grip tightening on my arm for a few seconds before finally loosening and returning back to it’s previous hold. “I want–“ I paused and sniffed back tears, breathing out a deep breath and breathing in deep into the next moment, feeling my chest start to expand

Luca’s POV “I mean, I didn’t tell her about what actually happened,”She paused for a moment. “But, she shut me up before I could even complete what I was saying, and started accusing me of making things up and spending way too much time in my head to be able to think up something like that.” She continued to speak in a quiet voice, her voice breaking once again and it sounded so much like she was about to burst into tears at a certain point. I blinked once, trying to fully process what it was that I had just heard.“What the fuck?” I echoed out without even thinking and as expected, I didn’t get a reply. Not even a shrug of her shoulders, or a shake of her head, nothing. “But I didn’t make a thing up, I was telling the truth, and assuming she had listened to me or even tried to listen to me and understand where it was that I was coming from, then I’d have been able to tell her about what actually happened to me…” She trailed off and fell into silence, the small sound of a sob

Luca’s POV What is eight years in this issue with the assaulter? It was nothing to be honest, I was going to deal with him in a way he wouldn’t ever forget. I hated men who acted like animals with a really intense passion, it was those kinds of men that went to kidnap my cousin Aria in hopes of getting their sick ways with her, and that only made me despise those kinds of people more. I breathed out a small sigh, feeling my chest tighten up with the whole feeling that was currently coming forward to assault my brains at the same time, almost to the point of me feeling almost overwhelmed. I tugged Sofia against me even more, wrapping my arm more firmly around her waist and carding my fingers through her hair, moving my fingers to the front of her face to move some part of the hair on her face, to the side of her ear. I leaned down and tugged her face upwards a little, until I was pressing my lip against the top of her head, dragging my lips softly against her forehead and puffing ou
