Sofia’s pov My eyes widened in shock as his words washed over me and continued to reecho in my head over and over again.A small, almost regretful looking smile tugged at Luca’s lips as he regarded me for a few heartbeats while giving my hand little squeezes.“Why is it a surprise to you?” He asked, voice soft and eyes sincere. “I thought it was pretty obvious.”I gulped emptily and contemplated on what to actually say, because it felt like my brain had shut down. “I- I didn’t know…” I whispered and once again, Luca chuckled.“I had no idea either, until it dawned on me.” He hesitated for a moment. “I think I’ve been in love with you for a really long while. It just didn’t actually dawn on me because I never considered it.”And then voice took a bitter tone as he continued. “I just wished I had done this in a better moment. I didn’t say this right now in order to make you give me all your trust at once, that wasn’t the case at all.”“I wasn’t even planning on saying that. The o
Sofia’s pov It’s been a week since I returned home, and dare I say that I had fallen for Luca even more. A part of mind didn’t hesitate to point out that I shouldn’t allow myself to keep falling for him, but I make sure to shove that voice out of my head each time it decides to show up.Things didn’t drastically change from how it used to be between the two of us. It only got better, when I didn’t even think it could get better.Luca has been at home with me most of the time, choosing to keep skipping work, although he keeps visiting the mafia whenever his presence was greatly needed.Luca never missed any opportunity to remind me that he cared for me so much. He apologized so much till I asked him not to bother apologizing at a point.He takes his sweet time to remind me of how much I mean to him, which leaves me an overwhelmed mess most of the time. Luca and I didn’t really go out since I returned home, it was like he wanted me all to himself here in the house, and it wasn’
Sofia’s pov “I can’t believe you took your husband back.”Those words pierced through the heavy silence, leaving me reeling from shock because that wasn’t what I had expected him to say at all.I sucked in a deep breath and waited a few moments before clearing my throat. “Huh?” I muttered, because that was all I could come up with. Ryan only shrugged his shoulders while continuing to drive the car, as he repeated himself.“I can’t believe you accepted Luca back.” After I returned home, I had barely exchanged only a handful of words with him because I remained indoors throughout and Luca was always around to keep me company.Although today, I had wanted to pay Kayla a visit and my two bodyguards had accompanied me there. Now, on returning home, Ethan had to run an errand for Luca, leaving me and Ryan to ourselves.The ride felt hella awkward, and I wasn’t sure of how to break the awkwardness and start a conversation, which left me guled to my phone while hoping that we wou
Sofia’s pov I stared at Luca’s hand for a moment once again before focusing on his face and letting out an hesitant exhale.Luca grinned as he dangled the folded material in his grip and then he inched closer to me. I felt my breath hitch in my throat at how close we currently were. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been in this particular position, nor does it matter how long I’ve been married to Luca, I still manage to feel flustered by him, and I’m sure he’s immensely pleased by the effect he has on me.“Curious?” He asked and I shook my head, which made him laugh some more as his arms easily slid around my waist to tug me closer. “I know you are, I can see your curiosity over your face.” He pointed out and I let out a small huff as I tried to reach his hand which he raised high, away from my reach.“I’m not.” I insisted as I tried to reach for his hand once again. Luba regarded me for a few moments before letting his hand lower into my reach. I retrieved the folded t
Sofia’s pov It’s been a full month and a week since the horrible phase of me leaving the house in anger after discovering I once cheated on me. Since that time, it was as if we grew closer and closer as the day passed by, and I loved every second of it and would never ask for anything else. It was as if I fell more in love with Luca everyday, that it was almost insane to dwell upon. I’ve been in love with him for a really long while and it has always left me breathless each time he said those words to me. When he had said those words to me that first time, it had still left me in shock even into the very next day, but when he repeated those same words to me the next day at nighttime, and the day after that day, was when it actually began to fully sink in.Of course I ended up saying the words back, because I loved him too, and have loved him for a longer time than he can ever imagine. The shock that crossed his face after I said the words back to him one night was almost c
Sofia’s pov “You can’t be serious about liking that movie.” Zander exclaimed, sounding completely outraged while I snickered away.“Why not? It’s a good movie. And besides, it’s not my fault that you hate romance.” I pointed out and he rolled his eyes before leaving forward, face a cape of seriousness.“I dont hate romance, don’t get me wrong, but everything in life has its limit, you know?”I shook my head adamantly. “Definitely not romance! Romance is limitless.”Zander shook his head once again. “I believe it gets cringe really fast, that’s why movies or stories centered on just romance tend to bore me out really fast.” “I think that’s because you’re a hater of that genre, because no sane person should ever tire of romance.” I reminded him as I reached for my drink and began to thumb the straw. Zander sighed from exasperation, which made me dissolve in laughter once again.“I don’t hate romanc–… ugh, never mind, you’d never agree with me anyway.” He whined while leaning ag
Sofia’s pov “I was sent back here on a mission.” Came a weakened voice, followed by a cough. Luca had motioned for one of his guards to keep delivering punches to a particular spot in his stomach until whenever he was ready to start confessing. After that incident at the park, a call was instantly put through to Luca and he demanded that I be brought back home at once. Unfortunately for Zander, Luca took the day off to rest at home, which means he’d have more time to torture him today.Looking at Zander’s face made me feel so much pain, which was why I chose to sit in the front of the car instead. “Can you please look at me, Sofia? Please?” He began as soon as we began to drive towards home, and when he kept on trying again and again after I ignored him, Ryan who was seated behind a tied up Zander to ensure he didn't try to escape, ended up gagging him with a part of his own shirt.The expression on Luca’s face was very gloomy when the car pulled out of the house. After Z
Sofia’s pov As I sat in the bathtub that night, my mind could only focus on what Ryan had revealed to me.It still felt unbelievable that he had gone ahead to murder Zander. I wasn’t sure of what to make of that, but I know I need to tell Luca about it.The problem here is that if I go ahead and tell Luca, there’s no way he won’t connect the dots and realize that Ryan likes me romantically, and Luca isn’t gonna like that one bit. Despite how much Ryan was starting to make me feel a little uneasy around him, it doesn’t mean I wanna lose him forever and should words of Zander getting killed by Ryan get to Luca, then all hell is gonna break loose.As I toweled myself dry, I came to a firm conclusion, I’m gonna keep it to myself and just keep on observing him. If he gets any weirder than this, then I’m definitely gonna go to Luca and spill it all to him. With a long sigh, I exited the bathroom.~~~ The days passed in a blur. I was as happy as i can get. I made sure to hang out with my
