Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350: A Pregnancy Tracking Belly RIng

Luca’s mouth twitched slightly. He slid one hand carefully into his pocket. "I had my mother do a little shopping for me," he said. He pulled out a small ring box. Luca held the box in his palm. "There was a time," he said, "I didn’t think this would be possible with you. But I guess everything happened to get us here."

"What is it this time?" she asked, lifting a brow. "A pregnancy-tracking belly ring?"

Luca actually laughed. "If there was such a thing," he said, "I would be buying it without a second thought. But no..."

And then he opened the box. The humour vanished from Veronica’s face. Her eyes snapped to his.

"What..." she breathed. "What is this?"

The question was ridiculous, of course. She knew exactly what it was. But the truth of it was so much bigger than the object itself that her mind seemed to reject it on impact.

"What are you doing?"

"I should probably be on one knee," he said. "But I’m sorry. This is the best I can do."

"Luca...You’re still married."

"Only for a bit more, love," he said. "But right now," he continued, holding the open box between them, "I need you to know that I want it all with you."

Veronica could not speak.

"I’m sorry it took us so long to get here," Luca said. "I’m sorry for everything you’ve had to go through..."

Tears slipped down Veronica’s face in a steady, helpless stream as she listened to him. Luca watched them fall and felt every single one.

Still, he kept going.

"I cannot promise a safe life," he said. "But I can promise you a happy one."

Veronica’s hand trembled.

"I can promise you," Luca continued, "that I will spend the rest of my life being a good husband. I intend to love you obsessively," he said.

That earned the faintest laugh through her tears, because of course he did. Even his proposal came with a statement that sounded like a warning.

And then, finally:

"So please, Bambola..." His fingers tightened slightly around the little velvet box. "Please, marry me."

She stared at him through wet lashes, and then her mouth wobbled into a smile. "You had me at ’only for a bit more.’"

Luca frowned in mock offense. "Really?"

Veronica laughed, wiping at her cheeks with the heel of her hand. "Really."

"I didn’t need all of that sappy speech?"

"No," she said, still smiling. "But it was nice to hear."

That made him laugh. Typical Veronica. He bared his heart, offered her his soul, promised obsessive lifelong devotion, and she informed him that the temporary status of his current marriage had already sealed the deal.

He loved her so much it was becoming medically concerning. With a shaky little breath, Veronica extended her left hand toward him. Luca looked down at it, then carefully lifted the ring from its box and slid it onto her finger.

Veronica stared at it. Then at him. Then back at it.

"Come closer." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
