Luca’s pov It wasn’t a surprise that I wasn’t able to get a sleep throughout the night. What was a surprise, was that I was expecting her to forgive me as soon as I get to explain myself to her.Armani made me understand that it was a dumb mindset. I didn’t bother trying to sleep last night because I knew I wasn’t going to be successful. I knew it was gonna break me to even attempt to sleep in the bed without Sofia in it. To avoid hurting myself more than I’m currently in, I tried not to go into the bedroom at all cost.I spent most of the night trying to get through to Sofia on the phone, not because I was worried about her safety, because that wasn’t the case at all.I knew where she was, her guards relayed that to me as soon as they got to the destination. I knew she was as safe as possible because I sent some guards to go guard the hotel as secretly as possible to provide more security for her. The reason why I kept trying to reach her was because I wanted to hear her vo
Luca’s pov The first thing that tumbled past my lips was a laugh.A chillingly, humorless one. One that vibrated through the empty sitting room which I’m currently in.I reread the text once again, eyes hurriedly scanning it, just so I could be sure that I had indeed read the text she sent correctly.The same text was still there, staring back at me almost mockingly. I didn’t realize when my grip around the phone began to tighten until a sharp pain shot up my arm.“Fuck.” I whisper out loud while trying to digest what I had just read.She couldn’t be serious. Could she?Refusing to even consider that she had actually what meant she had texted me, I decided to try calling her instead. Of course, I got no response to my calls, and when I still attempted to ask her what she meant by the text, I got met with nothing but silence. Like she has suddenly had enough of me for now and wasn’t going to bother responding to me any longer for now. After waiting on a response for over an hou
Sofia’s pov Never did I ever imagine that I’d one day experience a pain as vivid as this. I probably never saw it coming because it came from the man who was my literal world.It was from the man in whom I get the energy to live a new day from.It came from the man who I was ridiculously in love with. Perhaps, that was why it hurt this much. At least, I was very certain I wouldn’t be going through a quarter of things I’m currently experiencing if I wasn’t in love with him.I glanced around the hotel room for a few seconds and let out a long sigh, and then I hastily cleaned of the teardrop that was sliding down my cheeks once again.I had cried so much in only a day, than I had in a really, really long time. My head was currently pounding, and the only reason why I had agreed to take a shower some minutes ago was because Ryan had suggested it was gonna help with my headaches and was gonna help me sleep better tonight.After showering, I exited the bathroom and came to my
Luca’s pov The fire that flashed before my eyes was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and the image right in front of me was the cause.It was Ryan, cradling Sofia in his arms.I instantly reeled myself back, reminding myself that he was only doing his job, that he was only protecting her, telling from the unconscious body laying a few feet away from them.But still, the possessive part of me was struggling against the hold a rational part of me had on it, the part of me that wanted to order Ryan to his knees for daring to hold what was mine in his arms the way he was currently doing.But one look at Sofia told me that was shit faced drunk, which is probably why they’re in this current situation, because she’d be on her feet right if she could stand, at least.As if already sensing how close I was to losing it, Ryan began to speak.“Your wife got drunk, boss. She ended up getting taken advantage of by the dude who I knocked out some minutes ago, and she’s safe now.”Once he was
Sofia’s pov The feeling of disbelief running through my veins right now is one which I’m yet to wrap my head around even though I’ve been frozen in the same spot for long seconds.A sharp stab of pain which shot through the middle of my head made me let out a sharp cry and hurriedly clutch my head. I couldn’t believe I had brought this upon myself, with my own hands. “You must be having a really horrible hangover right now, you should use these pain killers.” Luca’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts, startling me and causing me to wince because another stab of pain shot through my head. Luca began to move towards me but I forced myself to held out a hand even though doing something as simple as that made another pain shoot through my head. “Don’t touch me.”The words sounded heavy on my tongue and I almost gagged from how bad my mouth tasted. “I only want to give you these pain killers.” Luca murmured quietly, sounding almost resigned and I forced my eyes close while s
Sofia’s pov I tried to suppress my headache for the hundredth time while silently berating myself over refusing the drugs which were offered to me by Luca, hours after I had woken up.How I had managed to get myself completely drunk last night is still a mystery to me, and as another wave of pain swam through my head, I reminded myself once again that I was never gonna drink Alcohol ever again.“Are we almost there yet?” I called out, and Ethan was the one who responded this time.“Not yet, ma’am, but we will be, in a few minutes.” I exhaled softly and stared out the window, grimacing as pain shot through my head, reminding me that I really need to use something for it.Leaving the house today was as hard as it was the night I had angrily stormed out of the house, the day I discovered that Luca had cheated on me. Three days later, I left the house again this morning because of that same topic. I wasn’t surprised that Luca had arrived at the club last night, I mean; I should
Armani’s pov The reason why the smile on my face tonight was this broad was because I was meeting up with her again tonight, and despite how much I tried to remind myself that I wasn’t that excited to meet up with her tonight, I knew damn well that I was just trying to lie to myself.I was more than excited to meet up with her tonight, because I still couldn’t believe that we were both meeting up tonight. It’s been about a month since we met each other at the club for the first time. After that particular night with her, which happens to be the best night of my life, unable to hold myself back, I had visited the club a few days later with the hopes of running into her, but that was fruitless because it was like she disappeared from the face of the club after that first night we spent together. I visited the club even more after giving it a week break, in hopes of running into her again. Once that doesn’t look like it was gonna happen, I proceeded to start asking the people
Armani’s pov I pulled up a few feet from the apartment we always meet up at. I knew it wasn’t the apartment she actually lives in, because the apartment was void of anything personal. I didn’t mind that at all, because it wasn’t like I was taking her into my personal life either.I got out of the car and headed to the doorstep, knowing that she’d be in there already, waiting for me. It’s been two weeks since we last met up, which means tonight is definitely going to be heated as hell, and I had been eagerly looking forward to it for the past couple of days.I knocked on the door in the rhythm she had made sure I mastered, as per our agreement. It took over a minute for her to come to the door and once it swung open, my mouth almost fell open from the blast of lust that flowed through my entire body as my eyes drank every inch of her in. She wasn’t even dressed up; which was the thing. She was in a flimsy, little gown that did nothing to hide the outline of her boobs, or the
