Chapter 31

LUCAI sat impatiently, waiting for Elena to arrive at the restaurant I had booked, a scowl on my face. Anyone who looked at me would think I was in a badmood, and I was. Things were not going according to plan, and it was pissing me off. Badly.The moment she entered though, I didn't need to look to feel her presence. I just knew.The hairs on my arm stood and I turned in the direction of the entrance to see her being guided by the waitress to my table.I instantly felt my insides grow tight. She was dressed so simply, but yet stood out. God, she was beautiful.To my chagrin, she had tied her hair in a bun that was half sleek and half messy. I wanted to pull that hair tie, and toss it away. Even throw all her hair ties away if I could.Her lips were painted a blood red, while the rest of her face barely had any make up on it."Hey.." she said, stopping in front of the table, as I got up to pull out a chair for her."Hey." I swallowed, managing a smile as I sat back in my seat once sh

Chapter 32

LUCA"She seems to be getting under your skin a little bit now, doesn't she?" Alessandro said, immediately I stepped into the club. I was supposed to be picking Elena up in less than an hour, but I was stalling. I wasn't in the mood to go to the opera, but I had to be there. Including the man in front of me who for some reason, wanted to be in his club even if it was early.He owned a series of them, on our own side of town, and they were the best, if I could say so myself. It never lacked club goers, no matter the time of the day, and Alessandro always delivered.My brother walked behind the bar to get us some drinks."What the fuck are you on about now?" I hissed, wringling my hands together and observing the club, just for the sake of distraction.I knew what he was talking about. Who he was talking about."Elena. You know....your wife?" his eyes twinkled as he set down the cup of watever mixture he had come up with, in front of me."I don't know what you are talking about. No one

Chapter 33

LUCA"You killed one of us." Muscle mass spoke, immediately we went into the room.I said nothing, walking around the huge desk in the middle of the room, so I was facing all of them while keeping a much needed space between us.I could tell it wasn't a wise decision, going in alone with them, but well...call me confident. And I was."One of you?" I asked dumbly, trying to decide between Luke and the ken doll. Although my best bet was Ken doll.We had dumped both bodies in a place Dante referred to as the dumpsite. It was a place for sending very... well... gruesome messages. And only used it when we really needed to. Like now, when we weren't sure who sent those men.It was a tactic to draw out whoever was behind this. And it looked like it had worked."Don't play dumb!" Another one shouted, his voice deeper, but rough. He walked from behind, to stand in front of muscle mass, making me begin to question who really was the leader. "The man you killed and dumped in the dredge!"I cocke

Chapter 34

ELENAValeria ended up not going with us.Well she did go to the opera, but earlier, because as it turns out, she had a date, and none of her brothers knew she did. Dante had looked like he was about to wring both the neck of his sister, and the man she had brought as her date, but had held on to a very slim string of control when Valeria had threatened him with something in italian. And spanish.I barely understood any, but there they were, speaking and switching between those, fluently."That damn girl." Dante hissed, twenty minutes into the drive from house, to the location the opera was being held. He had been seething in silence since we left, and only spoke a few words.My consolation was, he was the one driving, and we didn't have any of the bodyguards chokig me up. I wasn't sure I could survive Samuel walking up and down with me in the damn opera!"You haven't said a word since."I had been too in my thougths, that when I almost didn't hear him.I turned, confused. "You haven'

Chapter 35

LUCAThe opera house was too posh for my liking. I hated that they had chosen this specific location. Everything seemed too delicate and eligant. Like they were trying too damn hard."Seems like someone overdid them selves." Alessandro remarked, rubbing under his nose and spotting the most unimpressed expression I had ever seen on him. 'I really wish you would have just left me alone.""And enjoy all this on my own? Hell no." I mocked, not paying a glance to anyone, and instead focused on getting to our sky boxes. I could already imagine Elena waiting for me, with Dante.The thought of seeing her brought a strange shiver of excitement to my stomach."Oh... there it is.." Alessandro walked towards the private elevators that led to each box. "I will be next door." He winked, and walked into his, while I pressed the button for mine and waited. "Boss." Samuel's voice came from behind, and I frowned as I hadn't even noticed him before. "Shouldn't you be up there, waiting with her?" I ask

Chapter 36

ELENA A few minutes in and the whole house opera house was quiet, and only the sound of the most angelic voice I had ever heard, and instruments, could be heard. She was singing about long lost love and pain. And for the first time since I got married, I actually thought about my relationship with Donavan, and how it had ended. Every pitch, struck a painful cord in my heart, and I felt myself shift a bit from Luca, feeling my throat get clogged. I had experienced heartbreak in the most embarrassing way possible. Yet, here I was, lusting after a man I had sworn to hate. But maybe lust and hate could go together. The woman raised a hand up, her pitch going in the same direction, and the song suddenly took a dark turn. It turned into something really... sensual.. I looked at the hand that had been on my thigh all through, and watched as it squeezed my flesh a bit tighter. "Why did you move?" Luca suddenly asked, his eyes still trained ahead at the performance. I swallowed. "N

Chapter 37

ELENA Two weeks after the opera, and the images were still on my mind. I looked out the office window in my new office and sighed. The view was spectacular, given the sight if the city below. Below, but it was nothing compared to the view I had from the De Santis estate. Luca had been so busy the past week, that I barely ever saw him, except when he crept into my bed at night. He never stayed though. He held me in his arms, but I always heard the door open and close, just as I was falling asleep. I couldn't deny the fact that I liked him. Despite it all, I liked him. But the man was keeping to his boundaries. There was a knock on my door, and I sighed again, then took a seat just before Samuel opened the door for Theo Hayed. The man already had a smile plastered on his face as he walked in. Like he had the best news to share. "Elena De Santis." Theo said, plopping down on the seat opposite from him, even before I told him to. I hadn't seen Theo since after the very f

Chapter 38

ELENAI looked at my empty plate with both embarrasment and utter satisfaction.The moment the food had arrived, I had known I had lost our bet because the aroma, the look, the taste.. oh dear heavens. It felt like I had missed my calling bacause I was certainly supposed to be a food blogger or something.Thank goodness there was nothing on my own side of the bet because I was a sore looser.The waiter cleared out plates and asked if we wanted dessert to which I declined for obvious reasons. Theo asked for some wine, and waited till the waiter left, before turning to me. His eyes sparkling. "Don't bother rubbing it in my face. I am a sore looser. I admit that. And... yes, you have good taste." I told him, before he could say anything. Theo Hayes definitely looked like the type that won't let things slide easily, but I was taking my chances.He pouted slightly. "I wanted to say it's been long I saw a woman so comfortable in her skin she literally enjoyed her food so much that she finis

Chapter 39

ELENAThe car ride was silent.I kept my face glued to the window and my gaze fixated on the buildings as they passed by. Anything but the man sitting on the driver's seat next to me.Luca had ordered Hakeem to go with Samuel ans Alessandro, and had taken the steering wheel. From the side mirror, I could see the other car behind us, matching Luca's speed.I was concerned with the speed at which he was driving, hence the seatbelt I had wrapped around me three seconds in. But I would rather cut my tongue, than talk to him.We arrived, and the gates to the mansion were opened, and Luca drove in. For the first time since I arrived the building once again seemed unappealing to me.Of course he had lied when he had told Theo we had somewhere to be. He just wanted me home.I didn't wait for the car to stop completely before I was hurling myself up the stairs and straight to my bedroom. My intention was to lock the door once I was in, and seeth for however long I wanted, but the thunderous ste

Chapter 40

LUCAI wasn't jealous.Luca De Santis could be anything... anything but jealous.I walked straight into the bar and pulled out a full bottle of tequilla and a glass cup. On a second thought, I ditched the glass cup and took a long hard swig, straight from the bottle.The biting taste of the alcohol was not enough to calm down the storm brewing inside of me, but it just had to surfice.I took another, then another, then another.I was in fact, jealous.It wasn't an emotion I wanted to associate with myself, but of course that little bautiful thing of a wife had gone and caused havoc in my head.When Samuel had texted me an update I had almost exploded. I hadn't even bothered with the fact that I was in a meeting with my brothers and a client. I had stormed out, with Alessandro opting to follow me to make sure I didn't do anything stupid while Dante had decided to stay back to finish up with the client.The meeting was already ended anyway.The moment I had walked in there and seen the t
