Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Take Care Of Her

There he stood. Tall, broad, handsome...uncomfortable. Wearing the suit like he would welcome any discomfort whatsoever if it made her happy.

When she reached him, Vee squeezed her hand once before placing it carefully in Marco’s.

"Take care of her," Vee whispered.

"With my life."

She released Val and moved to stand beside Luca. Luca’s gaze found her immediately.

"Hey..." Luca whispered.

"Hey..." she whispered back.

"You look gorgeous."

Her lips curved. "Thank you."

His eyes swept over her again, shameless and appreciative.

Vee’s brow lifted. "You don’t look so bad yourself."

The priest cleared his throat. "You may be seated," he began.

The guests settled into the pews. Luca’s phone vibrated. He quickly pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and frowned.

He turned to Vee and held her gaze. "Stay here."

"What..." Vee started to say.

Before she could finish, Luca had already turned away from the altar. His jaw had locked, his shoulders sharpening beneath the perfect cut of his suit as he walked down the side aisle and out of the church.

Vee watched him go, fingers curling against the edge of her dress. Marco looked back at her quickly.

His eyes asked the question he could not speak. Vee forced herself to remain calm. The church was full. The priest had begun, his voice steady and solemn, rolling through scripture and blessings.

"He just needs to give someone a message," she whispered.

He knew she was lying. He turned back to Val, because for once, the world could wait. At least for him.

Meanwhile, Luca stepped out of the church, one of the guards approached quickly.

"Boss."

"What?"

The guard’s expression was grim. "We have a situation."

Luca’s eyes narrowed. "What kind?"

"A Voss situation."

"Of course."

Of course Voss would choose today. The man had waited until Marco was standing before God.

Luca strolled angrily toward the gate. The church grounds were beautiful. White flowers lined the path. Cars gleamed beyond the iron fence.

At the gate, his men had already formed a barrier. Beyond them stood Detective Voss. Luca’s blood heated.

"Today?" Luca thundered as he approached. "Today of all days? Do you have no human decency?"

Voss looked pleased to see him angry. "Just following orders, Luca. I need to make an arrest."

Luca’s eyes went colder. He stepped through the wall of bodies, lifting one hand to keep them from reacting. The last thing he needed was a scene in front of the church. Val would murder him. Vee would help hide the body. "If that will get you out of here faster, then fine."

Stay.
