All Chapters of Betrothed To The Mafia Lord : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sofia’s POV “It feels numb, I can barely feel it so it’s pretty good that way.” I answered Ryan after a little while and at the same time bit on my lower lip as I pulled my fingers off my skin in the very next moment before I could proceed.Just what was that? A quick image of Luca running his finger against my skin flashed in my head for a fleeting second and I shook my head to get the image out of my head as I slowly pushed myself to my feet.I’m not going to think about that anymore.It was just him trying to figure out where I was hurting, and nothing more.“Did you want anything, Ryan?” I asked once I was standing on my feet and sliding my feet carefully into my fluffy, warm slippers.“Oh, no I didn’t. I just wanted to check how you were faring.” He replied and I felt a small smile tug at the corner of my lips. “I’m doing just fine, there’s no need to worry about me.” I dismissed his worry immediately even though it has warmed my heart that he has cared enough to still come

Luca’s POV I walked out of the hospital room and closed the door quietly behind me, the ever distracting facial expression of Sofia when I had informed her that I was leaving, and the look she had worn throughout the small conversation that occurred between us before the doctor came in, was still brightly imprinted on the front of my mind. I inserted my hands deep into my pants pockets and glanced at the roof of the hallway of the hospital, directly staring into the security cameras located on the four corners of the roof.I got into one of the empty elevators and sighed silently when someone placed his foot in between the doors, stopping it from sliding close, and it slid back open after a fleeting seconds to reveal the face of someone I’d rather not see at the moment.“Good day, Luca.”“What are you doing here, Richie?” I sighed out in a voice void of any emotion a few minutes after he had made his way into the elevator to stand on the other side of the elevator, keeping a wide

Luca’s POV   “Which reminds me, I met Richie today, at the hospital.” The car finally came to a stop and I breathed out a sope and long sigh as I lifted my head from the car’s head rest and turned my head around for a few seconds before proceeding to quickly dig my fingers into my left shoulder cord which felt stiff and cramped up as fuck. “The fuck was he doing there, he spoke to you?” “Yeah. We rode the same elevator down and as I was leaving, he informed me that he needed my help with something.” The car door got pulled open by the guard and I stepped out of the car with my phone deep in my pocket once again. I didn’t shove my hands into my pocket this time and instead allowed it to drop on my sides as James came to stand beside me, his suit jacket completely unbuttoned, and his undershirt first few buttons currently undone. 

 Luca’s POV   Why was she even still feeling pain? Weren’t the doctors supposed to have taken care off all these? She moved again in her sleep and I winced as she moved her injured arm once again, sending another pang of pain through her body and resulting in the scrunched up facial expression getting more prominent and defined on her face. I watched as her eyelids fluttered once before her face eased into a relaxed expression, right before it fluttered again and finally slid open after two more flutters. I watched as her sleepy lidded eyes blinked open and I watched for a second longer, marking her last facial expression in my head right as I allowed my eyes to slide shut as if I was already fast asleep. I didn’t hear any other sound that would signal that she was either trying to get out of the bed to probably go the bathroom, but nothing sou

Luca’s POV      My mafia was one of the most respected of the Italy and I wouldn’t want that to change, to avoid us falling to the bottom drastically. “So, how are we going to do it?” “That’s the thing! We’re going to observe and observe as if the prices of the first set of diamonds showcased were all way too expensive. We’ll only come in when it’s at the very last diamond and then, we’ll drop a higher price. If the person that was about to receive the diamond before we come in decides to up his price, we’d up ours with millions immediately, and on and on until the person gives up and the diamond would finally be handed over to us.” James started to say and I nodded my head in understanding as he went on and on until he arrived at the last part. “Wait. When we finally get the diamond, what’s goi
