LUCA

I felt guilty as I said the words.

I didn't do anything wrong, but the look of hurt on her face made me feel guilty anyway.

“You don't want children with me?” Alina asked, pain stripping her voice raw.

“Yes. Or with any other woman. I vowed never to have kids.” I bit out.

I had promised myself never to bring a child into the world. The Mafia was deadly. I didn't want my son to lack emotions the way I did, or to see blood and death the way I did everyday.

Alina separated herself from me physically, sat on the bed and held her head. “Why didn't you say this before we got married?” She asked, sobbing.

“We were married in three days. There wasn’t time to discuss everything.”

I was late for work. I had come in to see how she was doing. I didn't intend to start a fight with her.

I looked at my watch and frowned. “Look, I have to go to work now. Maybe we can talk about this later?”

“I want children.” Alina said.

I walked to the door and opened it. “We will talk about this immed

    ALINAWhat the hell was Victoria doing with Riot Alvarado?The thought spun around in my head like a tornado as Riot’s grin sharpened into something predatory.“You’ve got some bloody guts showing your face here after what you did to me,” he hissed, leaning in so close I could smell the whiskey on his breath.His arm where I had cut off the wrist was tied neatly with a black velvet material threaded with gold. My spine stiffened, fury crashing through the fear. “I didn’t do anything to you. You did that to yourself. You hurt a woman. You deserve whatever you got.” Luca stood before I could say more, his body forming a solid wall between Riot and me. His voice was deadly calm. “Sit down, Riot. Don’t try to cause a scene or you won’t like my reaction.”Victoria stepped in quickly, her hand reaching for Riot’s arm like she could control him. “He’s not trying to cause a scene, Luca. He’s just surprised to see her. We both are.”She smiled like this was some sweet accident. I wanted to

    LUCAI’d seen Alina angry, seen her happy. I'd also seen her twisted in pleasure under me.But I had never seen her like this. She was pale, quiet and shaking.I gripped the steering wheel with one hand, holding her fingers with my other hand. She wouldn’t let go, not even to fix her hair when the wind blew it into her face.“I’ll call Elena, tell her we won’t make it to the gala and she can cancel with the Talciros.” I said, eyes on the road as I drove home.“No.” Her voice was soft but sharp. “I’m not hiding. I’m going. I refuse to let myself be scared into hiding.” I glanced at her, anger thrumming under my skin. I wanted to find who had done this to her and skin them alive. And I would. But for now, I needed to make sure she was mentally fine. “Alina, I don't know if that's a good idea.” “I think it’s my uncles,” she muttered suddenly, looking out the window. “Maybe they haven't stopped. Maybe Enzo told Uncle Alberto something.”I shook my head. “It’s not them.”She looked at

    ALINAMy hands trembled so violently that the box nearly fell from my fingers.The beeping filled my ears like a countdown to death. My breath hitched. I tried to suck in air, but my lungs wouldn’t cooperate. The room was shaking around me. The words on the note blurred before my eyes, but they were already burned into my memory.I staggered backward, knocking into my desk. My knees gave out and I sank to the floor, the cold tile biting through my dress. Was this real? Was this actually happening?“Alina!” Ethan’s voice sounded miles away. “We have to move now!”But I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even blink. My whole body felt frozen in place, locked in that moment with the ticking sound of death.I had just tried on the most beautiful dress of my life.And then, someone wanted to make sure I wouldn’t live long enough to wear it.“We need to get her out of here. Now. I think she’s in shock,” he told Mikhail, already moving toward me.Mikhail was already dialing someone. His face was p

    ALINAIn a moment, I was standing beside Luca, holding the bouquet he had gotten for me, feeling the hurt on my wrist.The next moment, I was in the car, beside his secretary, heading to a place I didn't know.“Aren’t you with the dress? Why can't I just wear it?” I asked her for the third time.She smiled patiently. “I'm sorry, Mrs. Marino, but I am working under instructions from the Talciro family. The dress they have for you is at their boutique, and needs fitting.” I nodded. Elena probably didn't know anymore than I did about anything.I knew about the Talciro family. In fact, everyone in Chicago did. But choosing me specifically for a custom dress that needed me to come for a fitting was strange.No wonder Luca had gotten so angry when I refused his command to go with him to the gala.Immediately we reached the Talciro boutique, we were led up and soon, we stepped into the most extravagant boutique I had ever seen. Elena gasped dramatically, her eyes shining like diamonds. She

    LUCA“Have the clothes taken to the house. No one touches them until my wife does, understand?” I smoothly commanded Elena. She nodded and left my office. I knew everything would be done exactly as I wanted.The clothes for the Talciro gala ball had arrived. The event was in two days and it would be the first time Alina and I would be attending an event together. I felt sorry that I had hurt her in the morning. I planned to apologize by getting her flowers and a new diamond necklace. I went personally to pick up the roses and had a selection of diamonds brought in so I could pick. Once I had both, I went back home. The last person I expected to see immediately I stepped in was my father. I groaned, pausing at the door, but he had already seen me.“Come in, Luca.” He said, waving me into the house as though it was his. I dropped the bouquet of flowers carefully on the table. I could feel my father watching me suspiciously.“Why are you carrying flowers around like a woman?” “Fa

    ALINAThe next morning, I woke early and dressed fast. I went into the kitchen and made a sumptuous meal for my brother with the chef's help. I wanted to leave early so I could get back early. I also didn't want to run into Luca if I was very honest. The enormous platters of meals were packed into the car and we left. Lorenzo went with me. We picked up my cousin Enzo at his house and he came into my car with me. He smiled winsomely, looking very handsome like his father. “It's been a while. I didn't believe Valentina when she said I would be going to see Adriano with you.” He laughed. I shifted away from him. I wasn't very comfortable with him. I didn't trust Enzo. I was already fighting with his father, why was he smiling and looking so agreeable?Enzo looked too slick with his gelled black hair and wide, handsome smile. “I've been busy. Running my father's business takes time and effort.” I looked out of the window. I really didn't want a long conversation with him. He must

    ALINAI knew I shouldn't have said that. But I refused to apologize to him. “You regret marrying me? Which of us should be saying that?” Luca gritted out. His dark, handsome face had a regal air even when he was angry. “I don't care. I married you to be my husband. My protector and the father of my unborn children. It is assumed that a married couple will have children!” I felt betrayed by his actions. What did he expect me to do now? “I did not come to beg you. You will come to the Talciro ball as my wife.” Luca said, taking my hand and squeezing it hard. I gasped aloud, my wrist hurting from his actions. “Leave me alone! You're hurting me.” I cried out. He let my wrist go, looking disgusted with himself. He ran his eyes to my wrist which was throbbing in pain. The anger died in his eyes. “Why do you always insist on being so stubborn, Alina?” I refused to answer him. I had nothing to say to him anymore. My wrist was hurting so he found a first aid box and tied it for me. He

    ALINAWhat did he mean by that? I had never had an orgasm that good and I was still feeling woozy. I pushed Luca away but he refused to let me go. Instead, he stepped out of the water and carried me in his arms to our room. He dropped me on the bed and climbed into the bed beside me too. His skin was warm and mine was too. “Are you really going to make love to me now?” I asked, my voice shaking. “I've never seen a woman as bold as you.” Luca said, laughing in a deep way that made my chest beat faster. He pulled his clothes off and pressed me into the bed with his body. His face looked handsome like a god as he watched me moan under him. “Yes, Sunshine. I will make love to you now.” Luca said, dragging my legs apart gently. I spread my legs for him, closing my eyes as I felt the head of him between my thighs. When I had entered the pool, I didn't expect that it would end up with us having sex. I closed my eyes and shuddered in both pain and pleasure as I felt him push inside
