LUCA“Where are we going?” Eliana asked as I steered down my driveway, moving further away from the house.I had suddenly asked her to prepare to head out with me and she’d done so without protest. Though her eyes bore questions and curiosity thickened the rims of her beautiful blue-grey eyes, she went on obediently and I waited for her in my office while she took her time to dress up. And without spelling a word about where we were going, I’d told her to put on something casual. She had sauntered into my office looking fucking delectable even in a plain black ripped jean and a cream coloured crop-top. Her straight hair was curled into light waves and she wore no makeup safe for a light gloss that made her already puckered lips shine. I wanted to kiss her again but I’d ravished her endlessly over the past few days, I wanted to give her a breather—though she wouldn’t reject me; she wasn’t complaining.She’s always wanted me in so much ways as much as I’ve wanted her. If I could turn b

ELIANACarina’s mouth breaks apart, “Oh. My. Fucking. God!” and she’s in my face by the next time I think to blink. She pulls me apart from Luca’s hold, “I cannot fucking believe…” She says, grinning from ear to ear, I’m was starting to get concerned about her face breaking. Then almost as though something struck her mind, she stops abruptly, pulling me to her side. Carina, despite her youthful appearance is a small woman, in size that is; she’s slimmer than I am but taller and bubbly. Or maybe that’s because she’s around Luca.But it didn’t deter her strength. “You didn’t kidnap her or blackmail her, did you?” She inquires, flashing Luca an accusing look. Luca sighs, shaking his head and I couldn’t help but grin at his disposition.“I wouldn’t do that to an innocent person, you know that, Riri.” He says, throwing her a tired look.“Yeah, well, still… you’re unpredictable these days and a mafia.” She enounced. Luca scoffs, rolling his eyes.“So is your husband.” He flashes her a sm

ELIANA“When my mother died, it broke my father and that result turned my brother into an even colder maniac.” Rina voiced and I felt an overwhelming pressure clog around my heart. “I was fifteen at the time and Luca was seventeen.” Her voice was heartbreakingly sad as she spoke as though the wounds of her past were just a recent memory.I could only listen while she spoke in a pained toned even though she tried to hide the sadness in her voice, her warm brown and green eyes that held flickers of gold within them, reflected the stale grief in her heart as she reminisced through her words. But I wanted to know more about Luca’s past—who he used to be.“Then a year later, my father gave me away on an arranged marriage to Carmine’s family. The ordeal was to strengthen our family’s force in order to retaliate against the family that had killed my mother.” She says, looking down at our interconnected hands. “Luca wasn’t pleased with the idea, he caused a huge fucking scene,” Rina smiled as

LUCA“Aren’t we going to drop by to say goodbye?” Eliana voices as we walk past Carmen’s office door. Honestly, I’m not feeling enthusiastic about it, not one bit. “We’ve already said goodbye.” I tell her, pulling her along with me without bothering to stop.“I mean to Carina’s husband. I haven’t gotten the chance to see him yet.” “I know but there’s no need for that and you can see him some other time.” I say gruffly and in need to get us out of here. Ever since I teased her at the garden, ever since I felt how wet she’d become when I touched her skin, ever since she had let that whimpery moan slip out of her mouth, I’ve been feeling the hell of my teases like I was going to implode anytime soon if I don’t feel her inner warmth.She groans and I chuckle at her expressiveness. “Why are you even in such a hurry to leave?” She questions and I hear the sulk in her voice. She didn’t want to leave just yet. I sigh. I should have known she’d grow attached to Riri and she didn’t seem ver

ELIANA“Rina, you’re here a little early.” I reach Rina across the hall and she pulls me into a tight but warm hug.“Oh my God, your outfit… it’s so cute, it looks perfect on you.” She compliments, eyeing me with a glow in her bright hazel. She takes a step back to get a better look, her arm crossing over the other as she stood in a poise. “I love it.”I smile up at her, looking over my simple sky-blue, off-shoulders line print jump-short outfit and white wedge sandal. My outfit had a belt as well that matched the material. “Really? It’s just a simple outfit though.”Carina scoffs, waving her hand at me as she rolled her eyes. “Of course honey, don’t you know? Simple is best.” She phrases and I let up a brighter smile, tittering. “Thank you.” I say softly, looking back at her. “So do you, you look amazing.” Carina is dressed a deep blue lace-up tank blouse and white high-waist baggy pants—that leaves just her toes peeking out—with a sash belt. Her outfit is paired with a deep brow
