Amara's POV It was time for me to rest as it was already late into the night but I couldn't sleep. My mind kept wandering for no reason then I realized that I missed someone, Luciano. These days I was getting used to him, so not having him beside me made me want him more. I wondered why I wasn't as mad at him as I used to be before. But I knew the reason, he had changed a lot and somehow I felt like the change didn't suit him. I went to the bathroom to have a shower so I could force myself to sleep. When I was done, I chose a pink pajamas and wore it leaving the upper part of the blouse unbuttoned. "A little fresh air won't hurt" I still felt restless so I decided to walk around the room. I stared at walls for the umpteenth time and wondered why he didn't have pictures hung on the wall apart from one taken when he was a child. "Such a cute baby boy" I muttered. I studied the picture for a while as I noticed his boyish smile that he still had an

Amara's POV Sneaking around the house had become a habit as I didn't have anything to do and no one had my time. I had created a bucket list of things to kill boredom with and one of it was finding out what was really in Luciano's secret room. If I had the chance I'd also ask Luciano the reason for the room and why I was trapped in it before. I walked to the wallpaper and touched gently not wanting to alert Raul about my movements as he had been asked to watch over me. I was almost opening the door when someone touched my clothes. I froze on the spot praying that it wouldn't be Raul or I'd have to explain everything to Luciano whenever he came back. "Sneaky sneaky? Why are you so scared?" Shuri came in front of me while I exhaled, feeling relieved. "Don't do that next time, I didn't expect you to be here," I explained. She nodded, but didn't look convinced. "Hmmmm, is there anything wrong with me being in this room?" She asked feeling offen

Amara's POV I prepared to take Gio to school while using it as an opportunity to leave the house for a while. I was happy and I kept thanking Luciano the previous night for allowing me leave the house. Though he told me that I could only leave the house with Stefano going with me which I also appreciated. I wasn't sure I'd be comfortable leaving the house without a chaperone, I was still scared of meeting my debtors. I dressed up nicely and when I checked myself out in the mirror, I discovered that I looked more matured. I didn't know whether to be happy about it as I made sure that my make-up was not over done. Then I left the room and joined them in the car. I sat beside Gio while he pressed his phone. I had never been in such position before so it felt weird then I remembered that I might have to answer some questions when I got to his school. I cleared my throat. "Ummm Stefano, how do I answer people when they throw a question at me. I'm not

Luciano's POV Just like four years ago, I felt fulfilled as I used to be. I knew the reason and was happy that the person was worth it. I sat in my office inside the mansion and called my Doctor, Seth. I had known him for a long time and he is really good at what he does. His phone rang the first time but he didn't pick it which felt odd. "That really seem odd" He usually picked at the first ring so it rang again then he picked up not saying a word immediately. "Good afternoon Sir, how are you?" He asked. "I've never been better," I said in excitement. "You sound really happy and relaxed unlike before, is my advice working?" He asked. "Oh yes, it is. Ever since I took your advice and became good to her my health has become better. I guess bitterness was the main reason I was detoriating," I explained. My health had gotten bad and since Seth was the only person I could trust I had to go to him for check up. He asked me several ques

Luciano's POV I didn't like the idea of treating boys and girls differently after all they were all humans but Gio was too weak and it was getting me pissed and worried at the same time. He never showed interest in all the self defense training that I enrolled him in. He was smart and good with the computers but he needed to know more than that. I had been ignoring him since yesterday after he came back home bullied with fresh bruises but seeing him come back bullied again got me really offended. I still ignored him until I was decided what I would do to him. I sent for Dante as it was already time for the day's collection. "Where are we heading to first?" He asked. "The usual place and be quick because they didn't pay their taxes yesterday," I said while rubbing my chin. My relaxed mood was being replaced by anger. Everything was beginning to annoy me and for me to collect today's tax then I had to be ruthless. We got to Arezzo first
