Armani’s pov “You’re so gorgeous, I can’t wait to wreck you tonight.” She whispered, the words sounding like a promise on her lips before she closed the distance between our lips. As our lips moved together, as her tongue hungrily licked into my mouth, and as her grip on my jaw hardened, I knew without question that those words were a promise she meant to keep, and I knew without doubts that I definitely do want to get completely wrecked by her tonight. After we made our way into the hotel, we barely moved away from the door before she had me caged against the door. The kiss made my entire blood boil with desire, it made everything in my body roar with want and it made a heated tremor glide over my limbs, especially when she bit down on my lip before sucking it into her mouth. “Fuck.” I whispered when our lips finally parted and she grinned while panting, a hot, crazed look in her eyes as she nodded her head and began to trace my wet lip with her thumb.“Yeah, fuck indeed.” She
Sofia’s pov I’ve been putting off having a conversation with Ryan.Not because I was nervous to do just that.Or perhaps I was a little bit nervous… or, a lot nervous. It was still extremely unnerving to think of, because I was still yet to actually fully wrap my head around it. Ryan had actually murdered someone for me. That thought was enough to make me shudder from nerves. The kiss has been the most unexpected out of everything, because it was something I hadn’t seen coming at all. It had kept me up last night, even long after Luca had drifted off to sleep. It was the exact thought I woke up to, and the reminder that I do need to have a conversation with him, that same one which Matilda had suggested I told with him weeks ago. A small sigh escaped my lips as I trudged into the closet while toweling my hair dry. Thinking about having that conversation alone was enough to make my head start to pound, it’s undoubtedly going to be awkward as hell, a scene which I’d rather no
Sofia’s pov I expected the text before it came in, but that didn’t stop me from flinching when my phone vibrated against my thigh. I glanced down at the lit up screen and grimaced at the newly arrived message, the name atop it making me let out a slow sigh.It was from Lola. We spoke a little yesterday and we agreed for her to text me the location where we’d be meeting. Today is the day where she’s finally going to be revealing to me what she was supposed to have done the last time we met but didn’t get to do for reasons unknown to me. I knew damn well that I wasn’t even supposed to be entertaining her right now, I knew Luca would be disappointed to discover this, but for the life of me, I couldn’t help but be curious. After she had informed me that she knew Luca before, that had piqued my interest so much and automatically, it’s expected that I’d want to know more about what she has to say. If it turns out that she had been telling a lie from the onset, then I’d make sure to
Sofia’s pov I glanced around from side to side as if waiting to find the answer to the question Lola had just asked, hanging in the air and waiting for me to see it. It suddenly felt like I was going crazy, like I was going out of my mind.I made to say something but ended up slapping my mouth close because nothing was coming forth.Lola let out an audible sigh and shifted from side to side, a perplexed look on her face as she spoke. “You don’t believe me.”It wasn’t a question. It was a statement made in a flat voice.I let out a long sigh and slowly sat up, and then I flexed my hands on the table while wishing I had ordered something on arriving so now, I’d have had a drink to wrap my empty hands around.“You’re lying.” I finally breathed out, because she has to be. She couldn’t have been telling the truth. It has to be nothing but a lie. A huff escaped her lips, something that sounded like a half scoff but I paid no mind to that. “Why don’t you believe me?” She demanded and I fo
Sofia’s pov ‘It couldn’t be.’ The same words kept echoing in my head over and over again as soon as I exited the restaurant, without waiting for a response from her. It felt like the more I repeated those three words in my head, would somehow make it real, but deep down, I knew that was impossible, which made a heavy lump settle in the middle of my throat. I remained silent during the car ride all the way home. I had previously planned to do something else after the conversation with Lola, but after the outcome of the said conversation, all I wanted to do is to get home so i can finally let everything out.If my bodyguards noticed anything off in my demeanor, they didn’t mention it, which I greatly appreciate. Ryan would have definitely attempted to find out the reason behind my stiff silence, but Ethan’s presence in the car prevented that from happening, which is for the best because I wasn’t actually ready to speak to him just yet, especially with the mood I’m curre
Sofia’s pov I shook my head and a dry chuckle vibrated through my lungs. I couldn’t believe what I was currently listening to. It felt like I was experiencing a really bad dream which is going to follow me into the real world.“It’s not how it looks?” I echoed in disbelief. The sudden chill that engulfed me made me wrap my arms around my middle the next moment.Luca remained silent; and then he struggled to look for what to say. It felt like I was currently staring at someone else entirely right now, and the pain that previously settled in my chest hours ago, seems to be currently multiplying in folds. “It’s not how it looks in any way.” He stated after a few minutes and the lump in my throat only grew bigger, but I made sure to fight past it as I made to speak.“You told me you didn’t know who she was, Luca.” He whispered, and it was as if saying those words out made a glaring realization dawn over me, that Lola had definitely saw me as nothing but a fool, and that only made t
Luca’s pov It felt like a huge hole got ripped out of my chest as I watched the car drive out of the compound. Feeling helpless isn’t exactly a feeling I’m familiar with, but I know damn well how to identify it because I used to experience it a lot while growing up and having to protect Armani all by myself. ‘Helpless’ is what I feel right now, because it felt like I was watching my soul walk out from my body.Even after the gate had been closed, I still remained frozen in the same spot while trying to wrap my head around what had taken place in only a couple of minutes.Before arriving home today, I had been looking forward to coming home to my wife. Work had been extremely stressful and the wife I was going home to was what kept me sane throughout most of the meeting I attended. If I had an idea that this was going to happen, I’d have definitely found a way to prevent it from happening.A slow sigh eased out from my lungs as I forced my gaze off the closed gate after a few
Luca’s pov It wasn’t a surprise that I wasn’t able to get a sleep throughout the night. What was a surprise, was that I was expecting her to forgive me as soon as I get to explain myself to her.Armani made me understand that it was a dumb mindset. I didn’t bother trying to sleep last night because I knew I wasn’t going to be successful. I knew it was gonna break me to even attempt to sleep in the bed without Sofia in it. To avoid hurting myself more than I’m currently in, I tried not to go into the bedroom at all cost.I spent most of the night trying to get through to Sofia on the phone, not because I was worried about her safety, because that wasn’t the case at all.I knew where she was, her guards relayed that to me as soon as they got to the destination. I knew she was as safe as possible because I sent some guards to go guard the hotel as secretly as possible to provide more security for her. The reason why I kept trying to reach her was because I wanted to hear her vo
