Luke’s POVI woke up to a wet rag being dragged across my face. I opened my eyes and saw Alex wiping my face. It's been a good while since I last saw him. I was laying on the bed in the corner of the cell. It wasn't the most comfortable, but I've had worse."I didn't mean to wake you up." He apologized as he places the wet rag near the small bucket."Why are you here?" I asked him."Val told me to check up on you." He said and I scoff."Why did he even put me in here?" "I don't know. I'm sorry. I tried to ask Romero, but he also doesn't know. All I know is that they've been in his office for the whole day now." Alex told me.I sighed and gave him a nod. I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest. Alex then grabbed a glass of water before handing it over to me. I gladly took it from him and gulped down the content in one go before handing back the glass to Alex."What happened? I thought you two were getting along?" Alex asked me."I thought so too," I whispered.Alex let out a sigh bef

Luke's POVI later woke up with a severe pounding in my head. I tried to reach my head but found that my hands couldn't move. I realized that they were both tied on the end of the bed. I tried pulling my hands free but to no avail. The room was dark, with only a small stream of light coming in from the curtains.Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a man walked in. He flicked the lights open, making me squint my eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. The man looked over at me menacingly before moving closer to me. I tried to move backward, but my tied hands forbid me to move further."Who are you?" I asked, failing to hide the fear in my voice.The man sat on the bed next to me and placed his hand on my face. I tried moving my head away, but his hand roughly grabbed my jaw. "You look just like your mother." The man whispered with a strong Italian accent. "Who are you? How do you know my mother?" I asked, making his grip on my jaw tighten."You know, I don't like the fact that you'r

Luke's POVThe sound of a gunshot pulled me out of unconsciousness. I felt my head against someone's lap, so I stood still, not wanting to alarm them. I then felt my head fall back on the bed. I lay there as I try to keep my breathing steady, not knowing what to do next. I then heard two men fighting, feeling that they might be distracted, I started to untie my hands from the ropes that bound me. I remember the tricks that Emilio taught me and start to unravel the ropes.I started to hear nothing but the rapid beating of my heart. I can hear two men fighting and grunts and screams of pain surrounding the room, but I ignored them as I desperately tried to free myself. My eyes shot open as the ropes that bound my hand started to come loose. My eyes adjusted to the room and saw Valentino and my father fighting. My whole body froze as I saw Valentino's shirt which was stained with blood. I tried to focus again and brought my legs up, untying the ropes on my leg. My hands start to shake,

Luke’s POVI was later woken up by Alex, bringing in some dinner. He placed the food on the bed tray and moved to wake Luke up, but I stopped him. I want to let Luke get as much sleep as he can. Alex helped me sit up, placing pillows on my back to support me. Luke was still lying beside me, hugging a pillow."I'll come back for the dishes later," Alex said before leaving the room.I started eating the food in front of me, looking over at Luke once in a while. He looked peaceful while sleeping. He then woke up and quickly sat up beside me."You should've woken me up. I could've helped you eat." He said as he takes the fork from my hand."You looked like you needed the rest," I told him, and he replied with a shrug.He stabbed the food with the fork and brought it up to my mouth. I took the food and kissed his cheek as a thank you. Luke's face turned beet red, and he diverted his attention to the food, cutting up the already-cut pieces."Why did you save me?" Luke asked in a barely audi

Luke's POVCurrently sitting down on one of the barstools, I watch as Valentino moves around the kitchen as he makes lunch for both of us. I was starting to feel impatient, not because I was hungry, it was because I was missing Valentino's warmth. I stood up and went beside Valentino, looking over his shoulder."What's that?" I asked him."Chicken Alfredo." He flatly said, making me look at him in confusion.I decided to just step back and return to my seat, not wanting to bother Valentino anymore. I took a seat and rested my head on the countertop, not knowing what to do as Valentino cooks. Soon enough, Valentino places a plate in front, making me sit up immediately. I immediately grabbed the fork and started eating. I then realized that it was rude of me to start eating without waiting for Valentino, so I look over at him as he takes a seat. I noticed that there was only one plate in front of us."You're not eating?" I asked him."No." He replied."But you haven't eaten all day," I
