Luca’s POV
“He finally stopped coming, and I had never been more relieved in my entire life.” She whispered these
parts in a low and thin voice and it felt like something cracked inside of me at that moment.
I reached forward and placed my hands on her shoulders, maneuvering her around until she was
facing me. Tears were running down her cheeks and her glassy eyes were staring up at me. There
were a lot of emotions running over her face at the same time and I watched as her lower lip quivered a
little before she breathed out a choked sob, bursting out into more streams of tears, just as I pulled her
deep into my arms, holding her tight against me instantly.
She buried her face in the middle of my chest, sobbing into my shirt and squeezing right around my
waist with her small fingers, as sobs wracked her body, making her body shake against my wider build.
“Shh,” I breathe out after some moments, my voice sounding scratchy to my own ears and I synced in
a deep breath and started to care my fingers through her hair, trying to offer as much comfort as I
could. She sobbbed on and on ax I tried to console her, and I gave up trying and just decided to hold
her agdinst me, allowing her to cry all she want to. My chest was pinching tight and painfully against
the side of my chest as soon as she started to whisper incoherent words which got muffled against my
chest.
“I’m so sorry, bunny.” I breathed out, tugging her against me even more as I held her waist firmly, my
fingers steering to card through her hair once again.
“I didn’t want it, I swear.” She kept mumbling against my chest amidst sobs and I pulled her face away
from my chest as soon as her words had registered in my head.
“Sofia?” I called out in a soft voice, and her tears stained face, coupled with how her lower lip wobbled,
made me want to go on a rampage and cause intense pain to whoever it was that was behind all these.
I carded my fingers through her hair, cradling her face in my hands in a really soft way, and then I
started to speak, trying not to stare too hard at how tears were swimming in the depths of her eyes.
“I believe you, alright?” I started to say, and it broke my heart when her eyes widened instantly, and her
lower lip wobbled a little right before she started to speak.
“Really?” She whispered, her voice breaking and cracking. I gave a firm nod of my head, carding my
fingers through her hair once again before continuing to speak.
“Yes, I do. I believe everything you said, I know you never wanted it, you were way too young to want
it.” I continued to say and her lower lip started to wobble almost immediately once again, and I watched
as a tear started to slide down her cheeks, as she stared up at me quietly, without any kind of sound
leaving her lips.
“You were a victim, you were left powerless, and whoever it was that did that to you is going to pay.” I
continued, a passionate time entering my voice in that moment.
“Oh.” She whispered, and sniffed back tears in the next second. I nodded my head once, cradling her
face in between my hands more firmly as I nodded my head once at her.
“Yes, you were a victim. I’m sorry you had to go through that when you were Just ten years old.” I said
to her, and I meant every damn word.
Now that I was starting to think about it, the whole fear and fright she usually had each time I get into
bed with her, and the whole thing on our wedding night, how she had bursted out into tears when I had
been about to touch her, was all starting to make sense to me now… it wasn’t because she was
childish or something like I had thought at first, but it had been because anything sexual had
automatically reminded her of the incident with the assaulter when she was a little child.
I felt really stupid to not have figure this out on my own until this very moment, and I pulled her even
tighter against me, staring down intently at her and using my thumb to wipe at her cheeks, to get some
of the moisture off her cheeks, and after a fleeting second, another trail of tears slid down the trail my
thumbs had just been at, moments ago. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Who did that to you?” I asked in a low voice, staring intently at her and moving my fingers through her
hair really slowly. She shuddered a little, sniffing back tears a little before starting to speak.
“Um, it was… um…” she trailed off at the last moment and I narrowed my eyes at her, pulling her even
tighter against me.
“Bunny…” I called out in a lower voice and watched as she sniffed back tears a little before starting to
worry her teeth over her lower lip.
“I need to know who it was that did that to you, the person has to pay for what it was that he did to you.”
I explained to her slowly, and I watched as she stared at me for a few seconds before blinking once.
“Oh,” she whispered and I nodded my head once.
“Yes bunny, now tell me who it was that did that to you.” I started to ask once again and watched as
she nodded her head once before starting to speak.
“It was um, it was one of my bodyguards?” She whispered, voice cracking at the last words and I felt
my eyes narrowing a little… of course it just had to be one of those people.
“You’re going to have to give me his name and try to tell me how he looks, I’m going to teach him a
good lesson for doing what it was that he did to you.” I continued to speak and I watched as a look of
distress crossed her face.
“Um, what are you going to do to him?” She asked in a low voice, with pouty lips parted a little and
eyes staring widely at me. I chuckled darkly as I shook my head a little before starting to speak.
“Oh bunny, I’m going to do something to him that’s going to make him ever regret doing what it was
that he did to you, and he’s also going to not be able to hurt any other girl throughout the rest of his
life.” I explained to her and watched as her teeth moved over her lip, a look of worry and distress
crossed her face in tne next second.
“Um, isn’t that… um, unnecessary? You know it didn’t just happen recently and had happened eight
years ago, and also because he said he wouldn’t have done a thing to me if I hadn’t made him feel like
I wanted it, so um…” She started to speak after a moment, speaking really fast and stuttering through
some of her words and my eyes started to narrow at her as soon as I had an idea of what it was that
she was speaking about.
“Sofia.” I called out in a low voice and she shut her mouth instantly, staring up at me and blinking a
little. There was still a little bit of tears swimming around the corners of her eyes, but at least she had
completely stopped crying at this moment.
“I want you to forget about all what it was that the bodyguard said to you eight years ago about you
wanting it and making him think that you wanted it, because he only manipulated you into thinking it
was your fault and your fault alone, where as you were a victim and nothing more throughout the whole
thing.” I started to speak to her and watched as she stared wide eyed at me, and as all what I was
saying started to sink into her head.
She blinked up at me after a little while and I breathed out a small breath, she was just so freaking
innocent and beautiful, and one cursed fool had decided to taint her when she was freaking ten years
fucking old, and there was just no freaking way that this said fool was going to go scot free without
getting a taste of his own medicine in a really hard way.
“Also, bunny… it isn’t too late to dish out punishments to him, he’s still going to pay for all that it was
that he had done to you, you understand?” I said to her in the next moment, not wanting to point out the
fact that here in the mafia world, there was just no way a sin or action gets too old for punishment, and
my father was the perfect person for an example. Some of the things he did to people were over twenty
to fifty years ago, and till today, some of those people were still hellbent on trying to make me pay for
the sins my father had carried out himself.
