Chapter 31

CHAPTER 31Luca came home angry.I knew it before I even saw him.The front door slammed downstairs, and a few seconds later, I heard his footsteps moving through the hallway.Fast.Heavy.Nothing like his usual calm, controlled steps.Lily stopped talking.I looked at her."You heard that too, right?"She nodded."Yeah."We both stayed quiet.The footsteps came closer before moving toward the other side of the house.Lily glanced at me."Stay here."I frowned. "Why?""I don't know. Just stay here."She got up and left before I could ask anything else.I sat there for a few minutes, staring at the book in my hands.I wasn't reading anymore.Something was obviously wrong with Luca.He had come home angry before, but this felt different.I could feel it even from upstairs.Maybe that was why I started wondering what had happened.Or maybe it was simply curiosity.Either way, I found myself leaving my room.I walked down the hallway slowly.My eyes landed on Luca's office.The door was c

CHAPTER 32For the next few days, I became quiet.Not the kind of quiet where someone could look at you and immediately know something was wrong. I made sure of that.I still answered when Lily spoke to me. I still greeted the maids. I still smiled when Damien said something funny, even if the smile barely lasted a second.But I stopped talking more than I needed to.I stopped asking questions.I stopped wandering around the mansion.Most importantly, I stayed away from Luca.After what happened in his office, I had no desire to give him another reason to be angry with me.I didn't touch anything that wasn't mine. I didn't enter rooms I wasn't supposed to enter. I didn't even linger in places where I thought I might run into him.I just stayed out of the way.And strangely enough, Luca didn't seem to care.He didn't ask why I had become quiet.He didn't ask why I no longer sat around the living room with Damien and Lily.He didn't ask whether I was still upset about what happened.Not

CHAPTER 34Who did this?" I asked."No one you should worry yourself about," he said dismissively as he walked out of the room.I followed him immediately."What do you mean no one I should worry about? Do you have any idea how scared I was?"He stopped walking.Slowly, he turned around.His eyes landed on me.Cold.Dangerously cold.Then he snapped."WHAT PART OF NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, HUH?"I froze.Before I could react, he grabbed my neck.My breath caught instantly."Luca..."My hands wrapped around his wrist."Luca," I whispered.His grip tightened.My chest burned.I struggled to pull in air."LUCA..."My vision started to blur.Little black dots appeared at the edge of my sight.Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, he let go.I stumbled backward, coughing.Air rushed into my lungs.I held my throat as tears filled my eyes.Luca stood there looking down at me.Not helping.Not apologizing.Just staring."Get it into your little brain."His voice w
