Luca’s POV
“Huh?” He asked and I shook my head immediately and placed my hand on his shoulder. He was
almost as tall as I was and not as short as the bodyguard of Ivan and his cousin, so it wasn’t all that
comfortable for me to place my hand on there, but I left it there anyways.
“Nothing, man.” I said to him before nodding my head towards the side of the house.
“Let’s go inside.”
“What about your little wife? Sofia right?” He started to ask and I felt everything pause in my head at
the mention of her name, because in the very next second, different images of her face and those blue
eyes of hers were flooding every corner of my head and mind, all at once.
“She wouldn’t mind, don’t worry about her.” I said to him, hoping she’d have fallen asleep already,
because I obviously hadn’t thought about how it was going to be between the both of us and James in
the same room, when I had suggested James come home with me.
He nodded his head at me before wrinkling his nose a little and rolling the suit jacket on top of his other
arm as we started to walk towards the house. Two steps forward and he was already speaking again.
“Oh man, now that I think about it, I have missed Sarah.” He breathed out and I laughed heartedly as
we closed the distance from where we had been previously standing for a long while, to where the
house was located.
“Of course you do.” I murmured quietly and he nodded his head immediately before starting to speak
once again. “I remember the day we got into a scuff with some guys from the Bloom Mafia, and she
helped stitch my wound while I stitched up yours because you didn’t let her anywhere near yours.”
James mused aloud and my mind started to travel back into time, remembering those times when I had
just become the official mafia lord and it had been a bit weird for me to adapt into that full lifestyle at
first.
That was why James and I had to be together a whole lot then, whereby we’d do almost every
goddamn thing together because I needed his help the same way he had needed my help. And those
times weren’t like the way things are right now whereby I was extremely popular and a whole lot of
people were scared of me without even meeting me in person, or having any kind of encounter with
me– back then, immediately after I had become the mafia lord, people had hoped and thought they
were going to be able to walk over me.
But because of the kind of person I naturally was, it made that almost impossible from the very start of
everything, and as times went by, the people who’d come ambush James and I started to reduce
compared to the very beginning, and the need to come over and come get our wounds cleaned out by
Sarah slowly reduced.
As time went by, it slowly completely stopped seeing as we’ve already started to make a name for
ourselves here in Italy, which I was grateful for… only that, that hadn’t been one bit easy to achieve.
“I just know she’d have missed you so much as well,” I said to James and felt him nod his head beside
mine and we both fell silent. I glanced around the compound and sighted a few guards in almost every
nook of the compound, the way it was actually supposed to be.
The bright lights which was situated on different spots on different parts of the wall shown brightly in the
compound, illuminating the whole place that it was easy as fuck to see any thing you’d want to see in
here at this very moment.
“She asked you about me?” I heard James start to ask and I turned my head around to stare at him
before a small snort escaped my lips as I shook my head at him.
“She didn’t, she hadn’t.” I replied to him and watched as he stared at me for a few seconds before
shaking his head at me and rolling his eyes.
“That’s probably because she didn’t know how she was going to ask you about me, and not because
she hadn’t thought of me one bit.” He replied to me with another eye roll and I snorted at him once
again before pulling my arm away from his shoulder to climb up the first stair, and turned my head
around to stare at him as he did the same as soon as I got to the second stair.
“What makes you think so? What makes you think she even still remembers what you look like?” I
demanded with a small chuckle as I got to the top of the stair and turned around to watch as James did
the same in the very next second.
“Because she has a crush on me, that’s how I know.” He replied and I breathed out a laugh and a snort
at the same time, resisting the urge to run my fingers through my hair at that moment when my fingers
started to feel prickly.
“How do you know that? Bozo.”
“I just do.” He replied and I rolled my eyes at him as I stepped forward until I was standing at the front
of the door.
“You’re extremely wrong, she sees you as a child of hers.” I informed him as I fished out the set of keys
which I always carry around with me, wherever I go.
“Oh, man, she doesn’t. She sees me as a young boy she’d like to–” I turned around and held a finger Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
up in his face before he could complete his sentence, staring at him daringly, as a warning slipped out
my lips.
“Don’t you dare complete that sentence, you pervert.”
I watched as a small chuckle played out at the edges of his lips, as well as a tiny eye roll before he
started to speak, while reaching up for my finger thigh was still raised up in his face, and wrapping his
hand around my wrist to tug my hand down and away from the front of his face, in the next second.
“I wasn’t planning on completing tbe sentence in Ynr first place after all, I just wanted to ruffle your
feathers up a little.” He murmured and I rolled my eyes before reaching out my right here and using it to
shove tne middle of his chest hard. His eyes widened and he stumbled for a fleeting second before I
reached out and steadied him with a firm grip on his shoulder.
“Thanks man.” He murmured and I nodded my head at him before turning around and inserting this
particular door's key into its keyhole before turning it around until the door opened. I pulled on the door
knob and made my way inside, turning around to watch as James stepped into the house and pulled
the door into place, after tugging the keys out from the door and using it to lock the door from the inside
– he also didn’t pull the keys out of the door, like it was actually supposed to be done.
I made my way deeper into the house and stopped once I got to the first hallway. I sinked into one of
the iron chairs there and started to take my shoes off. I glanced sideways and noticed James doing the
same, leaving him in a pair of dark socks, but I had taken my socks off as well, inserting it into my
shoes and placing the pair of shoes on the sides of the hallway, on a mat.
I pushed myself to my feet and started to make my way towards the kitchen, with James slowly trailing
after me. I tugged out my phone from my pocket and raised it up, watching as the bright lights on the
roof of the house showed on my face immediately, and it made it really easy for the face identification
scanner on my phone to scan my phone immediately, and the phone got opened automatically in the
next second.
My eyes quickly went to the top left side of the phone and zeroed in on the time. It was some minutes
past ten in the night. I pulled down the notifications bar and the side of my lips moved from side to side
as I watched as the notifications just kept lengthening as the seconds slowly went by. I turned my head
around and held my phone up while staring at James who was currently staring at the wall, at dole or
the arts which were on the wall.
“Man, do you get thousands of notifications on your phone every damn time?” I demanded and
watched as James dragged his eyes off the wall and pointed his index finger at the whole empty other
side of tne wall, compared to the other side of the wall which was exactly opposite it, before starting to
speak.
