Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 97

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.
