Sofia’s pov
What had happened just now? I asked myself as I blinked unbelievably while watching the car which
contained the people who had abducted Armani, sped down the streets until they finally disappeared
from my sight. I hadn’t even realized I had been sobbing until a few passers by who had probably
witnessed the whole thing as it happened, gathered around me but I couldn’t see them until I wiped my
eyes.
My whole body was shaking as I pushed myself to my feet and I hated how tears was still falling down
my face, but it wasn’t like I could magically stop it from falling. Armani had been kidnapped, and
somehow, I knew I was going to be blamed for it– because we had left without the guards, even though
Luca had always reminded me of how important it was for me to never go to anywhere without my
guards.
I’ve never really believed that Luca had a ridiculous amount of enemies, but what I had just witnessed
play out before me, moments ago, was making me think otherwise instantly.
The kind people who had gathered around to ask me if I was okay, or probably because they were
nosy, all fit ignored by me as I made way way back into the car to get my phone. The spot where one of
those kidnapped had shot at the car was cracked and bent, but the bulled hadn’t been able to pass
through because the car was bulletproof. What if he had kissed and had shot me instead? I asked
myself quietly as I searched my Luca’s number through the tears pouring down my cheeks.
I was trembling really badly, undoubtedly on the verge of having a panic attack, but I knew damn well
that I wasn’t the priority right now, Armani, who finally got home last night after long years, was the one
and only priority right now. Luca picked up at the second ring, and a deep feeling of relief washed over
me along with his teasing voice as he spoke.
“Hey bunny, how was your day?”
Hating to be the bringer of bad news and also the reason behind it, I bit on my lip for a fleeting moment
and felt more tears leak out of my eyes before I shakily started to speak.
At the sound of my voice, Luca instantly knew something was wrong because he didn’t even let me
speak before he was interrupting me.
“What is it, Sofia? What happened?”
Before I could respond, he was throwing more questions at me. “Are you hurt? Where are you?”
I sniffed and wiped my eyes a little as I made to speak. “I’m not hurt, but Armani might be.”
Luca went quiet at that at first and I silently cursed myself over for not insisting we didn’t leave the
house without a body guard.
“Where are you?” He finally asked and I glanced around a little, noticing how the small gathering of
people was slightly increasing.
“Uh, by the side of a mall. Dutch.” I finally responded.
“Where is Armani?” He asked and I felt more tears leak out of the sides of my eyes. Luca was
undoubtedly going to hate me, there was just no way he won’t hate me so much after this, even though
it wasn’t in purpose.
“He got taken.” I responded on a sob and I covered my mouth with my palm to stifle my sons.
“What?” Luca’s voice was hard this time and I could hear noises that sounded so much like shuffling in
the background.
“He got kidnapped, there were three or four men, and they took him.” I whispered the words into the
phone on a shaky voice, the scene replaying in my head made made a dreaded feelimg settle over the
middle of my chest heavily.
“And you were left behind?” He asked in a voice that didn’t sound like his. His voice sounded so cold
the way I quake in fear in a few moments.
“No, Um I, I wanted to go to him, but I was shot at, and –”
“The bastards shot at you?” His voice thundered and then he was getting into a car, telling from the
sounds in the background.
“Where are your guards?” He asked and I bit on my bottom lip a little.
“They’re back at home and uh…”
“You left the house without your guards? They let you out on your own…? After all what we’ve talked
about?” His voice was low as he spoke, it was low but held so much power and authority in it and I felt
more tears pour down my face.
He didn’t give me a chance to speak though, or a chance to defend myself, not like I even have
anything to say.
“Stay where you are, your guards would come collect you.”
And then the line was disconnected, leaving me with the sounds of the call being ended.
Luca wasn’t only mad at me, he was really disappointed, and that thought made me start to sob once
again. I glanced sideways at the small crowd of people to see that they’ve drastically multiplied, which
made me let myself into the car as soon as I could, shutting myself in the cool insides of the car, where Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
I let the water bags in my eyes to open with full force until I felt a light knock against the car, and when I
lifted my head up, it locked with Ryan.
The relief I felt when I saw his face was like no other, and because I had literally been falling apart
without realizing it, I threw my hands around him and sobbed into his chest. His hands hung limply at
his sides ar first, before he returned the hug a little.
“Are you hurt, Sofia?” He asked and I was glad he wasn’t referring to me formally right now. I shook my
head and wiped my eyes with my wet hands.
“Let’s get you home.” He urged as he held the door open for me. “Ethan is checking around for some
cctv, once he arrives, we’d be heading home.”
I nodded my head at him as I sank into the car, as fearful tremors kept on wracking through my body. I
wasn’t looking forward to going home and facing Luca one bit.
