Luca’s POV James started to crouch down once again and I watched as he did it this time beside Ivan’s head – and Ivan, on noticing James’ presence beside his head, had gotten startled and had tried to roll away from the particular spot he was currently laying in, despite his hurt and badly beaten up he currently was. But he couldn’t even manage to make a complete body roll, because James’ hand had shot out to bury its fingers deep into Ivan’s hair, and he had used that as leverage to tug Ivan back into place until Ivan obviously had no other choice, except to look up into James' pissed off face.The sound of the front door getting pulled open made me raise my head up and I stared straight ahead to focus my gaze on Ivan’s cousin who I had asked to go into the house to go get the guard who I had sent to trick his bosses into coming out here. He came out and the guard came out a second later, looking just as scared as his boss whom he was standing a few feet away from. I lift

Luca’s POV I leaned my head against the head rest of the car and dragged in a deep breath as the car started to pull away from its parked position, slowly pulling out and edging backwards for the car containing my bodyguards to take the lead first, before the one James and I were currently in, falling behind the first car almost immediately… and finally, the last car which belonged to James, that was currently being ridden by one of my guards, fell into lane behind the one I was currently in at the moment.I sat up and leaned forward in my seat a little, signaling for the bodyguard who usually sat in the front of the car beside the driver and asked him to turn on the air conditioner to the highest before leaning back in my seat and dragging in another deep breath. The clouds were getting really, really darker and I knew even without checking the time out on my phone, that it was already some minutes after seven p.m in the evening. I raised my hand up and ran it through my hair

Luca’s POV I got down from the car as soon as the the door got pulled open by the guard and I stood at the side of the door as I watched as James also alighted the car as well, his tie and suit jacket slung over his shoulder as he started to make his way around the car immediately, walking towards where I was standing at and pausing beside me. I stared at him up and down, my gaze lingering on his face as I tried to check it. I'd be able to read him, but it was almost impossible at the moment seeing as the facial expression on his face was next to a flat and blank one.“How are you feeling, man?” I asked him quietly as I nudged the side of his shoulder lightly with mine, and watched as he shrugged before staring at me and nodding his head towards his arm.“Thanks for allowing me to come over to get my injury cleaned up and wrapped in a bandage.” He started to say in the next second and I snorted and reached out to push the side of his shoulder slightly.“Fuck you mean, man? Why

Luca’s POV “Huh?” He asked and I shook my head immediately and placed my hand on his shoulder. He was almost as tall as I was and not as short as the bodyguard of Ivan and his cousin, so it wasn’t all that comfortable for me to place my hand on there, but I left it there anyways.“Nothing, man.” I said to him before nodding my head towards the side of the house.“Let’s go inside.”“What about your little wife? Sofia right?” He started to ask and I felt everything pause in my head at the mention of her name, because in the very next second, different images of her face and those blue eyes of hers were flooding every corner of my head and mind, all at once.“She wouldn’t mind, don’t worry about her.” I said to him, hoping she’d have fallen asleep already, because I obviously hadn’t thought about how it was going to be between the both of us and James in the same room, when I had suggested James come home with me.He nodded his head at me before wrinkling his nose a little and rolling

Luca’s POV “Because I am always so damn busy, it’s so hard and stressful having to work every damn day, only to unlock your phone and get flooded with thousands of messages and notifications all at once, from different apps.” I informed him with the scowl still intact on my face and watched as the perplexed facial expression on his face started to melt away in the next second.“Oh.” James murmured after a few seconds and I shrugged my shoulders while still staring at him. He finally threw one of his hands up and started to speak again. “Well, notwithstanding that,” He breathed out but I ignored him and started to make my way deeper into the house, fully aware that he had fallen into steps behind me after a fleeting moment. We passed the sitting room and I peaked my head into it, and not finding anyone in it. I continued to make my way deeper into the house and stopped at the entrance of the kitchen and peaked my head into it through the door.Sarah and Matilda were currently the on
