All Chapters of The Mafia's Klepto Bride : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ELENA'S POV “It should have been impossible” I paced about, saying all sort of things while he just watched.Luca was just leaning on the wall of our room, his head tilted back and his eyes following my tense figure about.I was even surprised that he had cut his trip short, he did say he wasn't going to be home for a few days but immediately I informed him of what had happened, he immediately rushed back home.And now here we were. Talking. Or rather here I was, ranting while he watched and listened carefully“Elena, you're being paranoid” he muttered, pushing himself off the wall and stalking off towards me.I stopped my frantic pacing and wagged a finger at him. “paranoid? Luca, that was fucking dangerous and could have put everybody at risk” I lamented.He took a deep breath and held my shoulders squarely, his arms slowly rubbing it. “Breathe, Elena. I understand why you're this pissed off but last time I remember, I told you not to pry…” his voice was calm but I knew he was frus

ELENA'S POV“Must we do this?” I asked Luca with a smile even though I was secretly happy about this.After I had come home a few days back, he had told me that he wanted to take me out on a date today.I was happy when I heard that, it had been such a long time since I had the luxury of going on a date with him due to the workload in the family and now I had my chance.“Yes we do,” he said for the umpteenth time as he led me through the dark woods.Yep, we were going to the same spot by the cliffs“Do we have to go to the cliffside again? I'm scared of heights, you know?” I asked, tugging on his arm, my floral dress swooshing with the wind.He stopped and looked down at me. “Do you think I'd let you fall?”“No, I trust you”A smile broke on his face and his dimples hollowed as he smiled. “Then don't be so paranoid, I won't let anything happen to you and yes we do have to go to the same spot for sentimental reasons” he continued walking with me by his side“Okay fine, but why though?

ELENA'S POV“Good morning, want some?”, Luca was already in the kitchen, stirring coffee in a cup which he extended to me as soon as he saw me.I was wrapped up in one of his large hoodies which he had worn for me after cleaning me up last night.“Oh… you're up” my voice came out low and I stumbled to the counter, my eyes lids heavy.He chuckled and handed a cup to me which I collected and mumbled a thank you for.“Someone didn't have a good night's sleep” he teased, resting his hand on his counter while staring at me with a soft mushy look.I looked at him over the rim of the cup and scoffed. “Oh no, I wonder why”He cackled at that and straightened up. “Last I checked, you were the one whㅡ”“No no, don't bring that up” I quickly shushed him, bringing my hand up to silence him.He laughed again and came around to my side, wrapping his hands around my waist while I struggled not to choke on the coffee.“You look beautiful this morning. As always” he whispered.I swallowed down the cup

LUCA'S POV “When you said you were coming over with your wife,I sure as hell wasn't expecting her” Bianca said, pouring me a glass of wine while she gave Elena who was looking around the club excitedly a glare.I took the glass from her and took a sip from it.“Don't say that again firstly and also she's the new mixologist. I'm here to tell you that you're in charge of her and no goddamn thing must happen to her”, I said, my eyes fixed on Elena who was sliding her hand across the counter.Bianca forced a smile and straightened up, the tiny shirt she wore hiking up to show her a bit of her bra.“When did you start dressing like that?”, I frowned at her.She looked down at her body like she hadn't realized what she was wearing. “Well it's a strip club after all”“Don't give me that shit, you're not one of the girls and you weren't wearing that before I came here” I frowned at her.Her smile faltered. “Oh, there's someone watching me?”“My club, remember?”“I also remember you entrusted

ELENA'S POVI had been here for about 20 minutes already and the atmosphere was silent as I had placed my head on the bed frame, letting his run his fingers through my hair.After he had told me that, we hadn't spoken about it. I was silent and so was he. We just stayed in the calm environment saying nothing.“You know… I want you to hate me he suddenly spoke up and that made me want to raise my head up but his strong arms pulled me down.Another testament to how weak I was. He was injured and still far stronger than I was.“What the fuck does that mean? Why would you want me to hate you?” I asked confused.“Because then I'd know that what my dad said was true. He used to tell me that I was unlovable and I did believe him so tell me how it's possible that you love me?” His grip on my head loosened.I used the opportunity to release myself from his grip. “You're not. You're the best thing that happened to me. We've both come out from homes that tried to restrict us from growing but th
