ALINA

I jumped off my chair as Luca followed Marco away from us.

“Leo? Maya? Let's go into the house.”

Leo pouted. “We want to play some more.”

I nodded, settling into the bench again. Luca and Marco were almost at the edge of the garden.

I felt faint, like I couldn't pull a complete drag of air into my lungs, like if I closed my eyes I would float away, as though the world had tilted on its axis and gone berserk.

Victoria couldn't be dead. She had last been seen coming here and how many people knew she was here?

Shit! It was going to be a nightmare covering this up because I knew damned well, Luca was not going to prison.

The back door opened behind me and Megan stepped out, wiping her hands on a towel.

“Everything alright?” she asked, looking from the kids to me, and then go Marco and Luca disappearing away from us.

I stood quickly and took her arm, grateful she had appeared just when I needed her to. My hands were shaking and I saw her brow lift in question so I let her arm

  • Signed To The Mafia King   Chapter 110

    ALINAI understood what he meant.“Yes, Luca. I understand.”He opened the door and shut it softly behind him. I listened to his footsteps as they walked down the hall until the silence settled like dust on my skin.Then I curled into myself, my arms wrapping around my knees the way Victoria had done, and fell asleep. She was gone. One second of anger had started a roller coaster of events that had gotten out of control. The thought spiraled through me bitterly. She didn’t have to spray me.And Luca didn’t have to punish her so severely.But he did.And now she was dead.The universe didn’t care what made sense, or even what was justified. It only cared about what happened after. And in my after, I was ridden by guilt. I shouldn’t have been, but death was different from a punishment. The guilt carved itself deep into parts of me and settled in. When I woke up, my body ached like I’d fought a war. Pietro was gently shaking my shoulder.“Alina? Come on, you have to wake up.”My e

    ALINAWhen I blinked my eyes open the next morning, I wished I could go straight back to sleep. My eyes were still stinging slightly, and my entire body felt heavy. I clenched my eyes closed again and sighed, stretching slightly before kicking my legs out of bed. “Get into bed, Alina.” I heard Luca’s voice coming from the foot of my bed.I searched for him in the gloom till I saw his shadow sitting on the bed. “The doctor says you need to keep your eyes closed as much as you can.” He continued when I stood. “I'm fine, Luca. Where's Victoria?” I stood in front of him, blinking softly. My sides were aching badly, which made no sense since I hadn't fallen or anything. “Victoria has been taken care of. You don't need to worry about her.” Luca kissed my eyes, pressing his face into my chest. I ran a hand through his hair. “Oh, I'm not worried about her, she's the one who needs to worry about me.” Luca lifted his head and gave me a warning look. “I'm serious, Alina. I've dealt with

    LUCAI slammed my car door shut and leaned forward to speak to Marco. “Have the last batch of men deployed to Mr. Talciro’s house by this evening. You might have to stay there all night so be ready.” He nodded and pulled his phone out, already making calls as I walked away. I walked into Alina’s club and headed to her office. I was happy for once. Or at least cleared of all worries. I'd gotten to the station and spoken to Riley and my lawyer. Riley was preparing a case under the behest of Riot who was insisting that we had taken the children even before Valerie had died. My lawyer had said was so ludicrous no judge would give him the children on those grounds. And my meeting Mr. Talciro had gone even better and we'd finally settled on forty percent of the profit for me and sixty for him. And now I had lunch with Alina. It was the most settled day I'd had in a while. I froze like a cornered animal when I scream broke the silence of the empty club. Another scream followed and I b

    ALINAThe last thing I wanted to do was have a meeting with Victoria, but I could admit I was curious to see what she was here for.The door opened and I heard the tap of her heel before Victoria stepped into the room. She stopped at the door, looking around until her eyes landed on mine.They flashed with several emotions than I could read before going cold and icy. I held her gaze, refusing to back down. Victoria was gorgeous, I could understand why she had been Luca’s mistress, and I could even forgive that, but chasing my man when he was married to me was a no no. She should have gotten the message by now.“Come seat.” I offered, pointing at the chair in front of my desk. She strode confidently into the room, grimacing before she sat delicately, crossing one leg over the other. “It's smells like dust and cigars in here. You're a woman, you should do better.” What would she do if I leaned across the table and just slapped that stupid, smug look off her face? Would she go cry to

    ALINAI waited almost nervously for Luca's answer. But as always on the topic, he didn't answer. Instead, he stood and walked away. I watched him go, too tired to go after him. Instead, I went to sleep. I was too worried to sleep most of the night, my thoughts too tangled with images of Riot taking Maya and Leo from us. He would hurt those children. Riot was a beast, and he didn't deserve them. I fell asleep almost at dawn. By morning, I realized we couldn't even leave on vacation. Riley had warned us not to go anywhere. When I told Luca about this, he told me it was ridiculous. “We'll leave if we want to. I'm sure it can be sorted out one way or the other.” I chewed my lip, trying to believe the same way he did. “Are you certain?” “Yes. I am. I have a meeting with Mr. Talciro this morning. Do you want to come?” Luca pulled on a shirt and tucked it into his dark pants.He wanted me to sit in on his meeting? He'd never offered me that before. Still, I shook my head. “I'm afraid I
