Luca’s POV I sighted Williams just as I lifted my head up from its bent posture as he was just stepping out of the elevator and glancing around the whole hallways, his eyes lingering on everywhere all at once– probably in search of me.I watched as he finally decided to allow his eyes to travel further down the hallway, which was when he noticed me. Our eyes locked for a fleeting moment when he was looking everywhere at once. He paused in his tracks and dragged his eyes back to mind on recognition and was already starting to make his way towards me immediately, down the hallway.He paused a few feet away from me and stared down at me– because I was still sitting in the chair I had decided to sit in while waiting for Aria to be done with her surgery. He was in a plaid shirt and a dark pair of jeans, appearing way more casual than I’d ever imagine him to ever pull off.“Hello Luca.” He said after a little while and I nodded my head once at him before uttering a quiet, “Williams.”
Luca’s POV My eyes locked with Sofia’s the very second after I had inserted my head in through the doorway and I watched as her widened a little in shock. The only thing I allowed my eyes to notice was the way her hair framed her face and how the white skirt she had on this morning had ridden upwards on the couch, revealing more skin than it had done this morning.I turned around and exited the doorway, breaking eye contact with her immediately and making my way deeper into the house while trying not to fall on my face due to how tired and drained out I was feeling.I climbed up the stairs with my hands gripping unto the banister of the stair case ever so tightly as I climbed each stair carefully to avoid my eyes from spinning the way it had started to feel like it was about to start spinning, the moment after I have made my way through the house door.I got to the top of the stairs and decided against going into the bedroom Sofia and I shared at the last moment and instead settle
Luca’s POV I croaked into the phone and heard James cursing loudly in the background before starting to reply.“The fuck man?” He said into the phone, his familiar voice echoing loudly out from the phone, directly into my ear which still had the phone pressed against it.“What’s happening? Why are you suddenly ignoring me?” He continued before I could even bother starting to think of an answer and I breathed out a small sigh which sounded really tired to my own ears.“Hey, what’s wrong?” James finally asked after a few minutes of silence floating between us, a lot slower and calmer this time. I could just imagine him asking me this question in person with worry dripping off his voice— with his face in an almost blank expression, a couple of thin lines appearing at the top of his face.“Everything is just so fucked up, bro.” I said quietly into the phone before squeezing my eyes tightly shut and moaning quietly when my head started pounding hard once again before the intense pain
Luca’s POV She turned around without questions, walking towards the switches to do as I asked before walking back to me and standing before me once again.“I had Matilda make these, because it’s almost tasteless and some soup for you to swallow after the meal, since it helps with any kind of nauseous feelings and is a bit spicy as well.” Sarah started to say as she turned around and lifted the tray and brought it forward to place it on the spot before me, so it was almost touching the side of my pants covered thigh.I glanced down at the tray and noticed the amounts of drugs which were placed in a small plate on the right side of the tray, the plates of food and bowl of soup occupying the remaining space of the tray.I reached for the drugs at first but Sarah reached out and moved it out of my reach before I could get it and threw me a knowing look. “The food first, before the drugs. You’d only hurt yourself if you took any kind of medication into your stomach without having at l
Luca’s POV I rolled unto my back, feeling completely drenched like I had stood under a cascading water with my clothes on, therefore drenching my body in the warm water that would feel cold against the body after a few seconds. My neck felt cramped up like I had slept in a wrong position and a part of it has ended up getting numb. I groaned a little as I finally forced my eyes open, my filled up bladder waking me from the deep sleep I had fallen into immediately after eating, making use of some drugs and taking a warm shower.I slowly sat on the bed, moaning loudly in pain in my muscles although not hurting the way it had hurt last night, still starts to hurt after little to no movement nevertheless. I rubbed at my eyes and blinked a few times, trying to chase the last bits of sleep clinging unto my eyelids.The first thing I did after kicking the blanket which was starting to feel uncomfortable against my body was to pull off my hoodie which was drenched in sweat. I tossed it on th
Luca’s POV Dressing in casual clothes was hard as hell for me, because being in a suit alone brings a particular kind of aura around you which a casual looking jeans and a flannel shirt wouldn’t be able to bring around you. Dressing in suits had always been like a super power for me, right from after I got ordained to be the new mafia lord after my father, and after I had to officially take over from my father after he had gotten killed.I wasn’t completely prepared to because a leader of a counter like this and to keep on walking in the footsteps of evil and greed which my father had laid out for me the way his father had did the same for him, but being left with no choice, I had to take the title and position and start leading the people forward from where my father had stopped. I knew a lot of people were not going to give me the due respect they were supposed to give me, because of my young age and because of how everyone in rankings back then were older than I was.And so I had
Luca’s POV “Oh, she’s upstairs, sitting on the balcony. Would you like me to get her for you?” Sarah replied immediately, her face somehow lightening up by that question which I had asked her.I shook my head instantly, already making my way out of the kitchen, “Nevermind, don’t think about it anymore.”I paused outside the kitchen’s doorway and contemplated asking Sarah how Sofia was doing and if her injured arm was still hurting badly, and how she was fairing but thought better against it and nudged the urge away, not wanting Sarah to start to suspect a thing concerning Sofia’s and I marriage. Because it was most definitely going to sound weird and suspicious to her that I was asking her how my wife was fairing instead of me asking Sofia directly like a normal husband was supposed to do.But then, I wasn’t a normal husband. Never felt like a normal husband for a second since the start of our marriage.For one, a husband wouldn’t have gotten married to his wife in a crowd of three
Luca’s POV I glanced at my wrist watch clinging on my right wrist and noted what the time says, it was almost four p.m in the afternoon. I made my way into the hospital building, walking past the security who bowed his head a little at me in respect the moment he recognized who I was. I walked into the elevator which wasn’t empty, to my disappointment and stood at the far end of the elevator, staying clear of the three identical children who were chattering the ears of their mother off.“Mummy, look at my bracelets in the mirror.” The one standing in the middle of her strikingly identity sisters said, smiling at her mother through the mirror— just as the one standing on the side which was only a few feet away from where I was standing at– lifted her hand up and looked up at her mother through the mirror with a small pout which made Sofia’s face pop into my head all of a sudden.“Mummy, mine is the prettiest, right?” She asked with a small pout just as the third one chose to tu
