Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 262

Luca’s POV

I wasn’t with a gun at the moment and I was already feeling pretty light and armless, it was a feeling I hated experiencing because for one, I hated how I had come to so much to depend on a gun or a knife, but it wasn’t like I had ever had a choice in this kind of situation, seeing as I was literally born into it and had no choice but to follow the footsteps already laid out for me.

I turned my head around and scanned the whole oksve for a fleeting moment, and because I was still feeling really armless and exposed, I gestured for one of the guards to come towards me in the next moment, knowing the Sofia was currently looking at what it was that I was doing with nothing but curiosity in her eyes.

“Where’s your gun?” I asked him as soon as he was done greeting and bowing down to me. He held it out in the next moment, movements fluid and sharp like I had trained them to be.

“Hand it over.” I said to him and watched as he dropped it into my palm without any sort of hesitation.

“Is it loaded?” I asked as I started to move it around on my palm at first.

“Yes sir.” He responded almost immediately, voice gruff.

“How many bullets?” I demanded as I held the gun upright and stared down at it. It was a different brand from the one I usually make use of.

“Ten, sir.”

I held the gun out and motioned for him to move away from the spot he was standing in, and I uncorked it and pulled on the trigger. The gun went off instantly, the sound loud and razz as it echoed around the whole place, but my hands barely vibrated from the force of it.

“You may go, also, go get another gun for yourself.” I said to him and watched as he bowed his head at me before leaving in the next second. I turned my head around to see Sofia staring at me with wide wide blown eyes and parted lips.

“Why did you do that?” She asked in a small whisper as she blinked at me.

“Oh, that?” I paused before continuing. “I wanted to test it out to see if it was working well.” I explained to her.

“Oh.” She whispered after a moment and I nodded my head at her once.

“You needed a gun for something?” She asked after a fleeting moment and I nodded my head at her before starting to respond to her.

“Yes bunny, to protect you. You do know how dangerous this whole place is, me staying here without a gun is dangerous enough on its own, and I really hate staying unarmed.”

“Ohhh.” She whispered after a few moments, blinking up at me as she squirmed a little on the spot on the grass.

“Mhhm.” I hummed after a moment.

I knew she couldn’t be all that bothered by being this close to a gun at the moment, she was after all born into this lifestyle filled with stuff like this.

“Do you want to cuddle your teddy?” I asked after some time when we both fell into a comfortable silence and I tapped on it for emphasis beside my side when she instantly glanced at me.

I watched as her eyes lightened up in the next moment. “Yes please, I’ve kind of forgotten about it until this very moment.”

“Of course you did, you didn’t have to carry it around for over ten minutes, did you?” I tsked a little as I lifted the stuffy and handed it to her and she trapped it from me instantly, pulling it into her arms and squishing her face into its warm fur in the next moment.
