LUCA

I was desperate.

And Riccardo knew.

Which was why he was stalling.

No one played games with an enemy. But we both stood to gain from what I was proposing. He didn't need to be told. As Don, being on the same side as me, gave him immediate pass into places he dreamed of entering, even with his image.

"I can not continue to stress on just how much of a bad idea, selling yourself to Riccardo Moretti was." Kai said.

I only ever called Kai Russo when things got really serious. Like now.

I was usually content in handling things on my own, but the head of the biggest security detail in the whole of New york, was someone I needed from time to time.

"I didn't ask, but thank you." I hissed, getting off my office chair and walking over to the window where I looked out at the view, but saw nothing, as my eyes were too unfocused to take in the scenery below.

Kai made a noncommital sound. "Why didn't you call me when the first note came?" Kai was not completely under my payroll. And we were mo

  • The Don’s Reluctant Obsession   Chapter 65

    ELENA By the time afternoon came, I was not exactly myself. I stumbled as I made my way to the office, hoping I won't have to sign anything or attend any meetings so I could get the much needed break I was craving. My day had so far been spent sweating even when the rooms I had been in were air conditioned, and being out of breath, even if it was just three flight of stairs I took. And I had had to use the stairs because today out of all days, the elevator had decided to halt operations, forcing everyone into an unwanted out of gym exercise. I sighed and stretched my legs on the sofa, holding going through what was in my laptop, which lay on my lap. Perks of being the boss's daughter. I wandered what Alberto would say if he say me in the position I was. I sighed and scrolled upwards, calculating the numbers that showed on my screen and almost didn't hear the lone knock on my door, before it was pushed open. I turned around in surprise, only to see Valeria walk in loo

    ELENAI walked into the house, and almost knocked into the guard that had opened the door for me. "Sorry." I gasped, holding my hand to my head."Are you sure you are okay?" Valeria asked, placing a cool hand on my shoulder.I climbed up the stairs carefully. "I just have a small head ache, but I would be fine." I answered."Should I get you an aspirin? You didn't eat dinner did you? I should get Rosetta to make you something." she fussed, but I shook my head."I just want to lay down. You should get some rest too. I would be fine." I tried. What I actually wanted, was to be alone.It had been a long night. And I needed time alone to process it all. Riccardo, Luca's ex. All of it.Valeria looked unsure. "Are you sure about it?" We were standing in the hallway that led to her bedroom."Yes. You have had a long night too." If I need anything, I can call Rosetta. Besides, i'm sure Luca has some aspirin in his bedroom." I didn't want to call his name right now. She looked far from convin

    ELENA Hakeem threw a look at me, before raising his hands in defeat and walking to the other side of the car so he could get into the driver's side. Valeria looked like she was still waiting for answers. "Were you alone here?" Hakeem suddenly asked, looking at Valeria through the rearview mirror. "No. At least two minutes ago, I wasn't. But Luca said we should go home. Three of us." "Seems Luca is talking to everyone but me." I muttered. My eyes connected with Hakeem's and he gave me an apologetic look. "You know how these men are. I'm sure they just want to make sure the deal goes well. Besides, we shouldn't be flocking around here for long anyway." Valeria's words did absolutely nothing to me. Maybe she knew. Maybe she didn't. Alina had said what she had said, and. Hakeem said nothing to indicate her words were not true. "So who is this for woman you were talking about? You looked like you had seen a ghost a minute ago. Still so, anyway." Valeria had the habit of grabbing o

    ELENAI walked out of the bathroom, feeling a bit uneasy.Hakeem stood just a few feet away from the door and frowned in concern on seeing me. "Are you okay? You look a little bit pale." He said, meeting me halfway.I looked on the two sides of the hallway, hoping to see any of the girls from hearlier, but the few woman I saw looked slightly older than the voices I heard in that bathroom. "I'm fine. Just feeling a bit hot." It wasn't a lie.He looked like he didn't believe a word that was coming out of my mouth. "We should get going. I'll be taking you and Miss Valeria home." He walked just a few inches behind me. I frowned. "I and Valeria? Where is Luca?" It was weird. We had come together. We should have been going home the same way we came. And he hadn't even mentioned it to me."Don Luca is in the exchange room, ma'am, He said to take you home, and he will come much later." we entered the auditorium which was now well lit, unlike some minutes ago when the place was almost pitch b

    ELENAI ran to the bathroom.I didn't care that Hakeem was accopanying me. Or that there were a few women all heading in that direction.My feet could not take me there quick enough, and the moment I got in, I slammed the door shut, rushing into a private stall.Only when I had that locked too, did I breathe fine.Luca was going to be the death of me.I hadn't for one second, imagined that he would pull the move he did, and at that particular moment.How the hell had my orgasm synced with the closing of the auction?I twisted my head, pulling the back of my dress so I could see if I had stained it. For such amount of wetness between my legs, I was surprised the dress was dry, save for on tiny dot that I willed to dry.I pulled out a handkerchief from my bag and wiped between my legs, biting on my bottom lip hard, to keep from moaning like I desperately wanted to.The material slid smoothly, showing just how wet and slippery I was down there.I finished and contemplated for a minute wh
