The Mafia's Klepto Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

ELENA'S POV I saw everything.I noticed every little detail.The hands he had tucked in his pockets showed he was nervous.Why?It wasn't his first time kissing a woman so why was he nervous? That I'd get mad and end it? No, couldn't be, he knows I can't just leave because of the arrangement we had.I had locked the door immediately after he left though because I was scared as fuck.As I leaned against the wooden door, I slid to the ground, my breathing quickening as my finger reached up to my fingers to touch it I remembered every little detail The way his tongue had swiped against my lower lip, asking for entrance, the way his lips moved in sync with mine.. what was I thinking?I was losing it definitely.The sound of his voice drifted to me from downstairs and I listened unconsciously.Honestly, I shouldn't be listening to the man's conversation especially not after what happened but his voice was calm and calm was not a word I would associate with him with other people, at leas

ELENA'S POV I was embarrassed immediately I became normal. I had almost lost control at his house.In front of his mother!That was bad and worse still Luca hadn't said a damn thing and it only made me more nervous because I couldn't tell what he was thinking as his expression was completely blank.His eyes were focused on the road. Too focused. He didn't need that much focus.“Are you not going to talk about it?” I finally muttered, my gaze darting outside the window.He looked over at me and then back at the road. “Do you want to talk about it?”Did I? I didn't but I also wanted to know what he was thinking.“I don't want to but it'll be nice If I knew what was going on in your head. You haven't said a word yet” I muttered again.“Speak up Elena. I can't hear you properly. I'm driving, you know?”, he requested, in a calm tone that made my heart ache.Why wasn't he bothered? Shouting that I had almost blown our cover? It made me feel bad.Slowly, I repeated myself and he looked over

ELENA'S POV It was dark already and I could hear of thunder rumbling in the distance.We had gotten home a few hours ago and Luca had excused himself briefly to get something upstairs, leaving me alone in the kitchen, my eyes briefly darting out the window at the dark sky that threatened a downpour.What was it with the rain these days?Luca had said he would cook something for me which was why I was still in the kitchen this late at night with a cup of tea in my hands.I held the mug tightly, the lights in the living room turned off as I looked out the window of the house again at the storm before I stopped and went to sit, the sound of the thunder soothing me.I leaned back against the couch after setting the mug back on the table while I focused on letting my head relax.My mind traveled back to the drugs we received that evening from Doctor Giovanni. A part of me hoped the drugs would work perfectly and I would be rid of the plague as I termed it now but a part of me knew the lik

ELENA'S POV It had been about two weeks after we had gone out to the museum and since then, we had gone out for other meetings and stuff and I was learning stuff fast.Today, Luca came downstairs by 11 am and leaned by the stairs banister just staring at me.“What?” I asked confused, my legs draped over the other as I scrolled through my phone.He shook his head and walked into the room, a smile on his face.“I have something to do now so I thought I'd ask you to join,” he said, his gaze heating my entire body.I dropped my phone to look at him and I sighed.“Fine, what is it?” I asked, waiting for him to explain why he wanted me there.“I want to go to the gym,” he said, crossing his arms.Over the last few days, I had actually been visiting the gym but I made sure to avoid the times that I knew he would be there and now here he was trying to make sure that we would work out together.“Why do I have to be there?”, I asked suspiciously.“It's just nice for someone to watch me while I

ELENA'S POVI sat with my legs crossed over the other as I struggled to put on a smile for appearance's sake.“Um… yes. Indeed” I nodded unconsciously to the other woman sitting beside his mother “You're really pretty,” the woman beside his mother said for the fourth time in a minute.“Ah thank you very much. Luca takes care of me very well” I said forcing a laugh at the woman.The woman looked over at Luca's mother and smiled. “You must be lucky to have her as his wife. They suit each other so well”His mother laughed, a ringing sound that made me look at the doorway hoping that Luca got my text.He had promised to be here In time and though I knew that his mother had shown up earlier than planned, I didn't feel comfortable being alone with her and this other woman. Not like I didn't trust them but I was just nervous and I had anxiety sometimes.“So tell me where did you say Luca went to again?” His mother suddenly asked, looking at me.“Ah, he stepped out”, I said vaguely.“He did
