All Chapters of Betrothed To The Mafia Lord : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Luca’s POV The fire had almost escalated into something way huge and tragic, but had been thankfully put off before it got to that point. Thick black smoke thickened the whole arena of the two story building which belonged to Philip, the assistant head general handling one of my numerous warehouses. From what I’ve been told, the top building had been set on fire in the middle of the night and the occupants there had all been able to get out and alert the ones living downstairs before the fire grew bigger. The firearms took extra long to arrive due to an accident that occurred on the road this early morning. I turned towards Philip who was doing a very shitty job towards shielding how shaken up he was by what had occurred. His face was set in a harsh scowl, showing how pissed off he was, while his body language said another thing entirely.“Philip.” I said quietly and as expected, he jolted upwards a little and puffed out his shoulders before turning toward me and lowering his he

Luca’s POV “That went better than I expected,” James stated as the car slowly pulled out of the Monte’s premises, into the busy streets once again. I stared straight at my flexing fingers on my thighs, completely agreeing with James.“It did go better than I expected. I half expected him to insist on not wanting to make peace, or even pull a gun out on us after requesting I send the guards out of the office.” I mused audibly with a small shake of my head before letting my head fall back against the soft, leather seat’s headrest.“He admitted to having already planned to attack you…” James said slowly before slowly trailing off, leaving the unfinished sentence hanging.“He knows he’d still never have been able to catch me unprepared.” I reminded James who only shrugged and threw his head against the head rest before pulling his tie loose and popping open his first three buttons. The tinted glass demarcation between our side of the car and the driver’s part gave us all the privacy w

Luca’s POV I didn’t have to look any harder to see the slight tremor that went through her body the second after our eyes locked..She hesitated and fidgeted in the same spot for a few more seconds before stiffly making her way past my sight and towards her side of the bed, I didn’t want to overwhelm her any further than she already was, which was why I refused to turn around and keep on staring at her the way my mind was trying to coerce me into doing. I faintly felt her pull the blankets upwards and slid beneath it. The bed barely moved as her weight was nothing compared to mine and also because she had most definitely remained in a stiffened spot out of nervousness.The dim lights were quite distracting seeing as I was used to sleeping in the dark, but I hadn’t bothered switching it off for some unknown reasons. When I had walked into the room last night and saw Sofia’s curled up body with the dim lights illuminating her face, I had figured that she had left it on in order to

Sofia’s POV My arm was broken?I swallowed emptily and winced at myself in the mirror before staring down at my arm, the sides at the corner of my elbow was throbbing red and starting to swell irritatingly.I made use of my left hand to make my way around squinting a little amount of toothpaste on my toothbrush and using it to clean my teeth, all the while trying my best to not move an inch to avoid pain from shooting into my right arm.Taking off my night dress was harder than I expected and already dreading the thought of pulling it upwards from my head like I normally did, I stretched the neckline of the gown until it was slacked and stretched enough to slide off my shoulders. It didn’t stop pain from zinging through my arm the moment I mistakenly moved the arm forward.How would I go about things now?How was I supposed to do things now?It wasn’t like I’ve gotten a lot of things done ever since I got married, but I already knew I was still kind of in a honeymoon phase and wou

Sofia’s POV But now that I was married, the majority of the new clothes which my mother and her sisters had packed for me were a bunch of small, revealing stuff which I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to wear most of them.It still feels weird.. adapting to being an adult, that is. Ryan pulled the door open and I walked out followed by Sarah and Matilda, before Ryan who closed the door himself before coming down the few stairs to stand a few feet away from us.The car in which I had used in purchasing my phone and activating a black card slowly pulled up beside us and Ethan alighted the car once the car engine got turned off.“Good morning, Mrs Ricci.” Ethan said to me with a tilt of his head and it was at the edge of my tongue to insist on him calling me by my name but I bit the words back because I knew it was useless, they were hell bent on referring to me formally and there wasn’t a thing I could do about it.“Good morning, Ethan.” I replied with a small pull on the side o
