Luca's Inferno 30 A Shock
Emma. I cried so much that I couldn't breathe. On our way to Celio, I had several panic attacks, and Gerald had to stop the car to calm me down. "Take me back to Ashfield!" I protested, and Gerald could not say anything. He felt sorry for me. I never knew I could feel this hurt in my life, but here I was, hurting, deep to my soul. It felt like part of my soul had been taken from me. It felt like hell. I had never experienced this level of pain before. A pain that had an impossible cure: Luca. All the emotions rushed through me like fire, and I wailed. "How dare you, Luca. How dare you do this to us? How dare you say I can't handle your lifestyle?" I screamed to no one precisely. He had broken both our hearts. I swallowed my pride and pleaded with him not to do this, but he did. Did he have a knack for suffering? I hugged myself and wailed all the way to Celio. When I entered my father's house in Celio, I went straight to my room and did not say a word to anyone. I locked the door,
Luca's Inferno 31 Burning Flames
Luca. I thought I was living in hell until Emma left. I had never experienced so much pain in my life. I could not think straight anymore. I closed myself off from everyone. Barely saw my friends and couldn't stand company. I was a mess. Maybe I should have held on and damned the consequences. The pain I felt was worse than losing a loved one; there was a void in my heart that could never be filled up. I was dead from the inside out. My parents and Catalina had left my house because of my hostility. Usually, Emma was always there to calm me down, but she wasn't anymore, and everything around me was falling apart. I knew I was slowly becoming a monster, but there was nothing I could do. A huge part kept telling me that what I did was for the best. It had been a month, and there had been several attacks on my life. All of which I sustained minor injuries and survived. The attacks let me know I did the right thing by letting Emma go. Hopefully, she would find someone worthy of her and
Luca's Inferno 32 Let's Go To Ashfield
EMMA TWO YEARS AND SIX MONTHS LATER. It wasn't easy living without Luca, but my heart had somehow healed itself. My family was a tremendous support, and I did not know how I would have survived without them. They supported me through it all. I was heartbroken throughout my pregnancy, and there were times that I was tempted to go to Ashfield and confront Luca. Still, I would hold back whenever I remembered what Tevin told me about him moving on. It was a contract, and I wasn't supposed to get my heart tangled in a mess, yet I did. I had come out badly bruised and injured. I was still picking up the pieces of what was left of my broken heart, and I thanked the goddess for helping me through it. There were times that I sit up in bed thinking about Luca, but they were fewer now than in the past. I moved out of my father's house when Katya, my daughter, turned one. We needed our space, and thanks to my bakery business, I could afford a small place. It had two rooms, a living room with th
Luca's Inferno 33 Living In Hell
Luca. "Where is Deigo Gallo?" I said and punched the bastard in the face. My white shirt was bloody, and I had taken off my tie. I wasn't tired. If the bastard didn't give me what I wanted, I might just beat him to death like I did the others before him. "I don't know, boss," the bastard said, and I punched him hard on the cheek. I wasn't his boss, and that was the wrong answer. "Sources said you housed him three weeks ago in Barlo. How dare you insult me in a territory that I own? You know I am looking for that bastard, and you chose to house him." I said and sent another punch. "Alpha, please," Gerald pleaded, and I growled at him. "Leonardo Badalcci has rubbed me the wrong way." I snarled and walked away. "Lock him up in silver chains, his sons and wife too," I said. "Please, Don Luca, my wife is innocent in all of this," the bastard said. I could not believe he had the effrontery to speak after his beating. "Does it look like I care?" I asked him, and the coldness in my so
Luca's Inferno 34 Relief and Hope
Emma. I was nervous about seeing Aldo. As we drew near Ashfield, I had nuts in my stomach. I just kept telling myself to breathe through it. The inevitable was about to happen. There was no guarantee that Aldo won't tell Luca about Katya. I was afraid of what they would do to my daughter and me. I could not believe I agreed to follow Heather to Ashfield. Telling her no would have been impossible; just as she said, she would have done the same for me. I just had to keep my fingers crossed not to cross paths with Teressa or Luca for the week I will be in Ashfield. I secretly prayed to the goddess to help me. I did not want to cross paths with them. I learned Luca had become a monster, and he killed people with ease now; what if Teressa decides that Katya and I are a problem and kills us? "Calm down, Emma; nothing can happen to you in Aldo's house. He will protect you. Terressa can't come there, and as I said, Luca rarely visits Aldo. He is more likely to hang out with Castelo than Ald
Luca's Inferno 35 A Secret In The Open
Luca. I helped my mother to the house and sent for the doctor so he could give her something to help her sleep. Castelo said goodnight, and I thanked him for the help and advice. I intend to go get my Emma after this mess is sorted. The time apart was enough. Even if she was with Tomas, I would ensure I get her back. She was mine. She completed me, and I was a fool to let go. My trip to Celio was definite. Soon the doctor arrived and gave my mother something to help her sleep. I sat with her in her room until she slept off. Why will my father do such a stupid and cruel thing? I knew his marriage to my mother wasn't easy, but he was the cause of the nagging most of the time. This was wrong. I asked Miranda to keep an eye on my mother and went up the stairs to call my father. He did not answer the first time. I called again, and a woman answered. "Who is this?" I asked. "Don Luca, how are you? Your father left his phone at home. He will soon be back. I will tell him you called," The
Luca's Inferno 36 New Rules
Emma.I could not believe my eyes. Had Aldo somehow called Luca after our discussion? I did not know how to feel or what to say. All kinds of emotions ran through me, and I was speechless. "Emma," he said, breaking the silence, and I just stared in shock. He walked up to me. His eyes looked lost and tormented. He had beards now. He did not look like someone who was taking care of himself. His eyes were sunken as if he had not slept in days. The light that used to sparkle in his eyes was gone. "Hello, Luca," I said, and he hugged me tightly."Emma," he breathed, taking in my scent; tears welled up in my eyes. I was angry. I pushed him off me. I did not mean to, but that was how my body reacted at that moment. I looked around, and it was just the three of us. Me, him and Katya. Somehow I suspected Aldo planned this. "Emma," he said again, and I wiped away my tears and tried to speak. I wanted to sound indifferent. I had rehearsed how I would behave if I saw him again, but why was my b
Luca's Inferno 37 Gratitude
Luca The moon had shined on me. I had punished myself for nothing. Emma looked adorable even though her eyes looked haunted. I thought getting her back would be impossible, but she genuinely cared for me. No one has ever made my heart beat this way. Being around Emma is like breathing. How could I have let her go? Fate smiled at me this time; I would not make the same mistake twice. I will love her to the best of my ability and protect her the best way I can, I know she had laid down some rules, but she was still mine to love and protect. Katya flashed in my mind. Her cute smile and beautiful eyes. I could not believe I was a father. I spent two years and six months not knowing my wife had a beautiful baby girl. I should have told Tevin it wasn't what it seemed when he visited. All of this would have been avoided. I looked at Emma in my arms and promised myself I would never leave her again. I will always be by her side, no matter what. She was my life and my soul. I will love her u
