Valentino's POVLuke's settled in between my legs with his back pressed against my chest. We were back in my room after the earlier events. Luke was playing with my hand, tracing the outline of my tattoos. I knew I had to do something with Dr. Silvano, I can't let her tell Luke the truth. I knew Luke would believe me, no matter what I say. For now, Luke's convinced I have nothing to do with it. Given that people around us are already aware of what Luke means to me, it's easy to put the blame on someone else.Luke twisted his body as he started placing kisses all over my neck. I grabbed the back of his neck and placed my lips on his. Luke quickly wrapped his arms around my neck as he turns around to straddle me, kissing me back. I placed one of my hands on his waist, pulling him closer to me. I slowly pulled away, trailing small kisses from his jaw to the base of his neck. I took the skin in between my teeth, nibbling gently on the skin. Luke let out a moan, pushing his hips towards m

Luke’s POVI sat on the bed after Emilio left the room. I wanted to agree with him, but the prospect of freedom has become far fetch. Agreeing with Emilio would not alleviate any uncertainty, but it will give me even an ounce of freedom. Not agreeing with Emilio would probably bring a lifetime of what-ifs. I let my body fall back onto the bed as I stare at the ceiling, contemplating whether to agree to escape with Emilio or not.The door suddenly opened, making me shoot up from the bed. Valentino walked into the room and closed the door behind him. I scrambled on the bed until my back hit the headboard. Valentino cautiously approaches me as I look at him in fear. He took a seat on the bed, leaving space between us."I'm sorry you saw that. I shouldn't have acted on impulse." Valentino apologized.I didn't respond as I kept my gaze on my lap. Valentino moved closer, making me push myself further into the headboard. "You didn't give me a chance to confront her," I said in a low voice.

Third Person POVLuke was settled on the bed with Valentino's arms wrapped around him. Valentino was still awake, stroking Luke's hair as he sleeps. Valentino wasn't going to let anyone take Luke away from him. He knew he had to claim him. His eyes landed on the marks he left on Luke's neck, a smile spreading across his face. Luke was his, and only his. No one else.Valentino slowly pulled away from Luke, pulling the covers over his shoulder. Valentino got out of bed, making sure to not wake up Luke from his sleep. Valentino exited the room and walked into his office. He took the gun out from the drawer and attached the silencer to the end.It was close to three a.m. and Emilio's pacing around the garage, in hopes that Luke will come with him. He wanted to start a new life, tired of all the chaos that comes from being in the mafia. He knew Luke has suffered enough and he doesn't deserve this kind of life, but Emilio has harsh competition. Footsteps echoed around the garage and Emilio

Valentino's POVLuke fell asleep on my lap the rest of the way. I laid him back down on the seat with his head resting on my lap. I opened the panel and called out to the driver."Get us some shirts as we reach the mansion," I told him, and he nods, and I closed the panel again.We soon pulled up to the driveway of the main house. The car stopped as the car was parked in the driveway. I looked over to Luke and gently woke him up. Luke stirred for a while before waking up from his sleep. Luke slowly sat up, stretching out his arms as he awoke."Are we here?" He asked."Yeah," I replied.There was a knock on the door, and I opened the window. One of the men handed me two shirts and I hand one over to Luke. He quickly put it on as I put on mine before we exit the car. Luke's mouth gapes open in amazement as he looks over the mansion."This is bigger than where we live." He whispered in amazement."Yeah, this is where I grew up," I told him as I wrap an arm around his waist."I still don'

Luke’s POVI could feel someone's breath grazing my neck, waking me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes and saw Valentino on my side, his arm around my waist and his head right next to mine. We're currently in our room and Valentino was sound asleep. I contemplated whether to wake him up or not, but he started to stir in his sleep.Valentino woke up from his sleep and pulled me closer to him. "How are you feeling?" He asks."Good," I said as I turn to my side to face him. "I'm sorry about the candy."Valentino let out a chuckle. "You don't have to worry about that. I'll just eat when you're no longer pregnant." He said with a smile spreading on his face.I look at him confused. "No longer pregnant?"Valentino brought his hand up to my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "One of the resident doctors came and checked you while you were unconscious. You're pregnant." He announced, joy evident in his tone.I didn't feel the same way. I was scared. It wasn't that long since I had my mis
