Luca was gone when I woke up the next day. Even though my head still ached, I forced myself to get up. I couldn't be absent from work, and Vanna still had school. I got up and woke Vanna up so we could have breakfast.

"Mommy, why did you sleep in my room?" Vanna asked when we came out of her room.

"Oh, nothing, baby. I just missed sleeping next to you. Don't you like me sleeping next to you?" I asked, pretending to be sad.

"I do, Mommy! You can sleep in my room whenever you miss sleeping next t

  • SHATTERED AND TEMPTED   THE END

    Vincenzo Luca The next day, I went to the mall with Crescent, but I saw Sasha in the jewelry store. I talked to her about my feelings, about my confusion... hoping that she could help me with my problem. "What are you so worried about, Luca?" she asked, laughing. "You're in love with her!" I froze at what she said. "I-I'm in love with her? But I'm in love with you," I said, confused as f*ck. Oh, I accidentally confessed my feelings to her... But I don't know why it didn't bother me or make me nervous just like I was expecting before... I feel nothing. Sasha laughed. "If you really loved me, you wouldn't be able to say that to me so casually. I don't even know if what you felt for me was really love, Luca... But whatever it was, it's nothing compared to what you feel for Crescent now. This is the first time I've seen you like this, Luca. You're funny!" she said, laughing. I covered my mouth and cleared my throat. I feel like my cheeks and ears are getting hot. What the hell

    Vincenzo LucaI took another gun when I noticed my gun had run out of bullets... Their boss was the next to come in and was horrified to see his men dead. It's the first time I've seen him this scared while looking at me.Seeing him so scared made my heart throb in excitement. Damn him. I'll kill him slowly.When he was about to get his gun, I immediately shot his knee. I immediately charged at him and kicked him in the face when he knelt down and screamed in pain. I took his gun from him and kicked his face. I heard his bone crack, but I didn't give a fuck. I tied him up and started torturing him after that.I pulled out all his nails, then I cut all his fingers, on both his hands and feet. He was crying, shouting, and begging, but I was just enjoying it. I tortured him in many different ways before I finally killed him; I stabbed him to death.I sighed and sat on the floor after that. I stared at my hands; they're full of disgusting blood... I know my father won't be happy about wha

    Vincenzo LucaI grew up in France with my mother, and even though I have French blood, I wasn't fluent in French. My mother never taught me. I was just self-taught. She was a well-known model in France before she had me, which is why I understand that she's not very fond of me. She doesn't even let me out of our house or let me go to school... About my father... I don't know anything about him. I just heard that he's from the Philippines.I was ten years old when we suddenly went to the Philippines. I don't know why my mother suddenly decided to bring me here, and I didn't bother to ask. She wouldn't answer me anyway. She doesn't like talking to me.She brought me to an unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar man."You'll take care of Luca now," my mother said. I don't understand what she's saying."W-Why would you just suddenly leave our son with me?" the man asked. He looks tired... and poor. I think his house is just barely standing. It's too small. It looks like an abandoned house."I

    I woke up in a good mood. I found Luca in the kitchen cooking while Vanna was chattering away. Luca was listening to our daughter and sometimes commenting."Good morning, Mommy!"I smiled and immediately sat beside Vanna when she greeted me. I kissed her soft cheek and muttered "good morning" and "I love you" to her. My precious daughter just giggled and kissed my cheek too."Good morning..." Luca went to me, then kissed my temple. "I love you," he whispered, then immediately went back to what he was cooking.I just smiled while silently watching him. No matter how many times I tell him that he should always go to the company, he still chooses to work here. It's like he really doesn't want to be away from me. I'm the one who's strict with him because sometimes he can't work from being too affectionate with me. I just tell him that he can't be affectionate with me until he finishes his work... That's the only way he moves."Here it is," Luca said, then served the food.I smelled the fr

    I don't know why I find Luca annoying these past few weeks. Sometimes I get annoyed just by looking at his face, but other times I want to hug him and not be far from him. There are also times when I want us to have sex all the time... I don't know what's wrong with me... but I still love him though, so much... He's just so irritating sometimes."Luca, don't sleep beside me tonight."Luca stopped typing on his laptop and looked at me. "Again?" he asked, disappointed.I sighed and nodded. "I really can't stand your smell. I told you, you should always take a shower.""I-I always shower, baby. I'm confident I always smell good."I got up and went to him, then smelled him. I almost gagged because I really don't like his scent right now. It smells good, but my sense of smell just doesn't like it. It's giving me a headache, and it's also annoying."Please, Luca. I really don't like your smell."Luca sighed at what I said, then took off his shirt. "I'll just take a shower again, baby.""No,

    Over the past few weeks, I haven't had a job, so I've been able to take care of Vanna more. I'm thinking about finding a new job, and Luca told me I could work in his company's marketing department, but I don't have the courage to work there.But it's not a big deal for me to be a housewife... I just shook my head. Why do I call it "housewife"? We're not even married yet."Luca... c-can I bring you lunch at work?" I asked while adjusting his necktie.He has a meeting at the company today, so he has to go to work. I also encouraged him to start working again from now on since I'm taking care of Vanna."Of course, baby." Luca gently cupped my face and kissed my lips. "I would love that; it would motivate me to work... You can also stay at my office if you want." He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against mine, then kissed my lips again."Okay, I'll bring you lunch," I just said, then hugged his waist."Damn... I just wanna stay here and hug you all day," Luca whispered and buried his
