Luke’s POVI sat on the bed after Emilio left the room. I wanted to agree with him, but the prospect of freedom has become far fetch. Agreeing with Emilio would not alleviate any uncertainty, but it will give me even an ounce of freedom. Not agreeing with Emilio would probably bring a lifetime of what-ifs. I let my body fall back onto the bed as I stare at the ceiling, contemplating whether to agree to escape with Emilio or not.The door suddenly opened, making me shoot up from the bed. Valentino walked into the room and closed the door behind him. I scrambled on the bed until my back hit the headboard. Valentino cautiously approaches me as I look at him in fear. He took a seat on the bed, leaving space between us."I'm sorry you saw that. I shouldn't have acted on impulse." Valentino apologized.I didn't respond as I kept my gaze on my lap. Valentino moved closer, making me push myself further into the headboard. "You didn't give me a chance to confront her," I said in a low voice.

Luke’s POV"I love you, Luke." Valentino suddenly blurted out.I stare at him in disbelief. I've never heard those words without something in return. I moved my head to the side, avoiding Valentino's gaze. Fear suddenly enveloped me. I tried standing up, pushing Valentino away from me, but Valentino held me in place. "You don't have to say it back. Just know that I do." He told me before placing a kiss on my forehead. "You don't," I said as I look him in the eyes. "You don't love me. Nobody does."Valentino let out a sigh before getting off of the bed. "I'll prepare you a bath." He said before going into the bathroom. I lay on my side, my back facing the bathroom door as tears started to flow down my face. I suddenly felt conflicted. I'm given chance to leave and finally be free or stay with a person who loves me. Both of which I'll never know when I'll have the chance to get. Valentino came back into the room, and I quickly wipe off my tears."I'll carry you to the bath." He told

Third Person POVLuke was settled on the bed with Valentino's arms wrapped around him. Valentino was still awake, stroking Luke's hair as he sleeps. Valentino wasn't going to let anyone take Luke away from him. He knew he had to claim him. His eyes landed on the marks he left on Luke's neck, a smile spreading across his face. Luke was his, and only his. No one else.Valentino slowly pulled away from Luke, pulling the covers over his shoulder. Valentino got out of bed, making sure to not wake up Luke from his sleep. Valentino exited the room and walked into his office. He took the gun out from the drawer and attached the silencer to the end.It was close to three a.m. and Emilio's pacing around the garage, in hopes that Luke will come with him. He wanted to start a new life, tired of all the chaos that comes from being in the mafia. He knew Luke has suffered enough and he doesn't deserve this kind of life, but Emilio has harsh competition. Footsteps echoed around the garage and Emilio

Luke's POVI was sitting beside Valentino as the plane begins to land. Valentino held my hand as I look out the window, enjoying the view as we descend to land. The landscape of Italy was finally coming into view, and I couldn't help but think of what the view would've been if I went with Emilio instead. I know Valentino asked him to come with us to Italy, but he isn't here. I wonder if he pushed through with his plan already."Where's Emilio? I thought he was coming with us?" I asked Valentino as I turn to face him. Valentino faces me before replying. "I haven't seen him since this morning. He might follow us on a later flight."He must've left then. I gave Valentino a nod before turning my gaze back out of the window. The plane finally lands on the runway before coming to a stop. Cars were already lined up near where the plane landed. The pilot announced that we have safely landed, and we can finally get out of the plane. The door opened was opened by Romero and Valentino and I got

Valentino's POVLuke fell asleep on my lap the rest of the way. I laid him back down on the seat with his head resting on my lap. I opened the panel and called out to the driver."Get us some shirts as we reach the mansion," I told him, and he nods, and I closed the panel again.We soon pulled up to the driveway of the main house. The car stopped as the car was parked in the driveway. I looked over to Luke and gently woke him up. Luke stirred for a while before waking up from his sleep. Luke slowly sat up, stretching out his arms as he awoke."Are we here?" He asked."Yeah," I replied.There was a knock on the door, and I opened the window. One of the men handed me two shirts and I hand one over to Luke. He quickly put it on as I put on mine before we exit the car. Luke's mouth gapes open in amazement as he looks over the mansion."This is bigger than where we live." He whispered in amazement."Yeah, this is where I grew up," I told him as I wrap an arm around his waist."I still don'

Luke's POVIt's been two weeks since we landed in Italy, and I've enjoyed every moment of it. Valentino has spent his time touring me around spots in the city, showing me places where he used to play as a kid, and introducing me to people he knew while growing up. I never expected Valentino to treat me this differently once we landed here. I thought I would be under surveillance 24/7, but I was free to leave the house any time I want, alone or not.I was currently in one of the greenhouses in their garden, cutting off the thorns from the roses we picked earlier. Another thing is that I've been spending a lot of time with Valeria. She's been showing me all kinds of flowers that she's growing in the garden. Seeing her, I expected that she would prefer someone else to do the work for her, so it was surprising when I saw her doing all the gardening. These past few weeks felt so ... normal, to say the least. I was genuinely happy, and I felt at home. Something that I thought I could never

Luke’s POVI could feel someone's breath grazing my neck, waking me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes and saw Valentino on my side, his arm around my waist and his head right next to mine. We're currently in our room and Valentino was sound asleep. I contemplated whether to wake him up or not, but he started to stir in his sleep.Valentino woke up from his sleep and pulled me closer to him. "How are you feeling?" He asks."Good," I said as I turn to my side to face him. "I'm sorry about the candy."Valentino let out a chuckle. "You don't have to worry about that. I'll just eat when you're no longer pregnant." He said with a smile spreading on his face.I look at him confused. "No longer pregnant?"Valentino brought his hand up to my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "One of the resident doctors came and checked you while you were unconscious. You're pregnant." He announced, joy evident in his tone.I didn't feel the same way. I was scared. It wasn't that long since I had my mis

Luke’s POVEver since Valentino mentioned the wedding, his mother went crazy with the planning. I thought my getting married would involve a sweet proposal on top of a hill, but here we are. I couldn't even have a say in my wedding. I didn't even get to properly decide if I wanted to get wed. Every time I would get asked what I want, it was either Valentino or his mother who would answer for me, so I just let them be. I'm currently sitting on a swing in the garden. Valentino's behind me, brushing the tangles out of my hair. "Luke!" Valeria called out to me.I turned my head in Valeria's direction and she was holding a small box in her hands. She walked toward us before pushing the small box into Valentino's hand."Get off the swing, my dear. You're pregnant. A swing is the least safe place where you should be sitting right now." She said before pulling me up from my seat."I'm fine, Valeria. You don't have to worry about me too much." I said to her."Hush. I'm allowed to get worried.
