Emma and Luca decided to try the roller coaster. Emma was fine for the first couple of seconds until the speed increased.
"Oh no," she said before closing her eyes tightly with fear.
Luca on the other hand is not as affected as Emma. He saw much more scary things than this roller coaster ride as the mafia boss.
He pulled Emma towards him by his hand around her shoulders. Emma turned her head and hid her head in his neck.
When the ride is finally over, she was a little unstable on her legs. So she leaned heavily on to him.
"That was scary" she confessed.
"It was different" he commented.
By the time they came out of the carnival, most of the people left and only a few are left here and there.
It's 10 pm and Emma is tired and sleepy. She ate junk food at the carnival, so she is not at all hungry.
After they sat inside the car, she rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Marco is sitting in the front passenge
When Emma raced down, leaving Elijah and Lizzie in her room."Where is she going in a hurry?" Elijah asked LizzieLizzie looked scared to death."Boss just came home," Lizzie said in a small tone.Elijah gulped audibly with fear.If Emma is racing down in a hurry to welcome home, then she must be scared of the boss more than we are. Poor girl, I pity her. How can see live under the same roof as the boss and live peacefully? She will die of heart disease or high blood pressure soon.The pressure of being with the boss for just a few minutes is enough for me to give me nightmares. Poor girl, she must suffer from them daily basis, Elijah thought sadly."I feel sorry for Emma. It's not easy to live with the boss. A small mistake from her side and he might punish her harshly. She might be sweating bullets now" Elijah voiced out loud.Lizzie snapped her face to look at Elijah with amusement."What? You think Emma is scar
After her friends are gone, Emma quickly changed out of her jeans and dressed in her sleep shorts and a t-shirt.She decided to go and check on Luca.'He was angry a little while ago' she thought.Emma slowly walked barefoot towards Luca's room. She knocked on the door, which is closed.Luca just laid down on his bed, when someone knocked on his door. Locking the door from the inside is one of the precautionary measures he takes. In his line of work, it's common to become an enemy to many people, who wants to kill him.On instinct, his palm reached under his pillow, where he keeps his gun. But then again, he moved his fingers away from the gun.'Is it Emma? Why did she come to find me so late?' Luca thought.He prefers track shorts to sleep in.He walked towards his door and opened it. Sure enough, he found Emma standing outside."Kitten?" he said attracting her attention.The hallway is dark, and she was looking behind her
The next morning, Emma woke up surrounded by a warm cocoon."Hmm" she snuggled deeper into the warmth."Good morning kitten," Luca said from beside her."Morning" she mumbled sleepily, without opening her eyes.Luca slept surprisingly well last night. He is an insomniac. He cannot sleep for more than 4 hours at a time. But last night is the first when he slept for 7 hours straight.He woke an hour ago. Usually, he would wake up and go to his home gym to work out. But today, he woke up to Emma sleeping almost on top of him. He couldn't bring himself to move her away.He knows she feels warm sleeping beside him, so he let her sleep there. She is lying upside down on top of him.Resting her head on his chest, her arms thrown carelessly on either side, her legs between his.He looked at her innocent-looking face for a long time. He wrapped his arms protectively around her.'I will stay with you
Luca had a meeting with all of his underbosses, from all the other outfits, which he took over.The meeting lasted longer than he thought. They hold a meeting every week, to discuss the shipments or the profits from the weapons they sell, which is their main business.Luca hates woman trafficking. So he never touched that. If he finds out any one of his underbosses doing that, he would kill him and replace him with another one of his trusted men.Everyone knows the score. So no one dares to do anything behind his back. As a gift to their loyalty, he pays them generously. Not giving them any chance to cheat him for money.After his meeting is done, he thought of going to Liquid tonic, as he has some work there, looking at the logistics of all the other hundreds of nightclubs he owns around the country.But at the last second, he changed his decision."Let's go home Marco," he told his underboss.Marco smiled knowing the reason."Y
In her dreams, Emma is struggling to pull herself away from the guard, who is forcing her against her will.He is tearing her clothes and holding her tightly, restricting her moments. He is kissing her and slapped her when she turned away from his kiss.The guard is relentless and Emma is helpless. Emma is crying with fear. She tried with all her might to pull herself away from his hold but is futile. He is not letting her go.In her dreams, Emma is calling for Luca, over and over again for the help. Even in her dreams, she knows he is the only one who would help her.So she was crying and calling him to help her."Luca""Luca, help me"Emma's agonizing cries alerted Luca. He woke up with a start and noticed with horror that Emma moved away from him in her sleep.Yesterday she was craving his warmth, and today she is scared of it, Luca thought.That guard will pay for this, he vowed.Emma is sleeping on the edge
Emma is eating absently. Luca is not feeling like eating at all. All he wants to do is, kill the bastard who did this to Emma.He looked at Marco's sister, who is fidgeting a little distance away from them."Come and take care of Emma. I will be back in an hour" Luca told Lizzie.Lizzie immediately nodded her head.Luca then looked at Emma, who is staring into space."Kitten" he called her.Emma looked at Luca when she heard him."I will be back in an hour. Your friend will stay with you. Call me if you need anything. Okay?" he told her.Emma nodded her head.She knows where he is going. She didn't want to think about that. That guard deserves whatever he is getting, she thought fearfully.Luca went to the basement.Lizzie immediately sat beside Emma and tried to cheer her up with silly jokes.Luca found Elijah kicking Thorn angrily."How dare you touch her. She is still innocent despite born in this world
He then turned to Marco."I need you to completely renovate the living area. Throw that couch away and change the look of the living area completely. Change the uniform of all the guards. And also take a few day's permission from Emma's college for her leave" Luca instructed him.Marco nodded in understanding.Luca then went into Emma's room and packed a bag for her. He then proceeded into his room and did the same as well.Emma looked at Luca, who is packing his bag.She started to panic. She is too scared to live without him in the house."Please don't leave me" she pleaded with him.Luca stopped what he is doing and went to where she was sitting on the bed."I am not going anywhere leaving you here kitten. We both are going out for a couple of days. You stay here. I will be done in a couple of minutes. We can go then. Only you and me away from all this" Luca told her.Emma relaxed completely. She nodded her head in agreement.
After she slept, Luca lifted Emma up and settled her down on the bed. He looked at her, sleeping soundly on the huge bed.She is looking delicate and gorgeous, and all his. He didn't understand why he never realized it until now that he likes her so much.It started since the moment Marco threw a bucket full of water on her head. Then she slowly captured his heart, a single frozen piece at a time. She warmed it up with her honesty, innocent, and caring nature and claimed it as her own.'I, the ruthless mafia boss of the New York outfit and many more is a slave to her'. Luca declared.He always thought, loving anyone and caring for them is a weakness. He now knows differently. She is making him look at everything around him differently.He now wants to be more cautious and careful and he now wants to live a long life together with her.He will now be more careful and alert, as he has her to protect and to cherish.He bends down and kissed her
