Chapter 97


    Luca’s POV


    “Huh?” He asked and I shook my head immediately and ced 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


    “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 Jamese 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 Iughed 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 be 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 popr 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 be 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’de ambush James and I started to reduce


    Sarah slowly reduced.


    As time went by, it slowlypletely 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 nced around thepound and sighted a few guards in almost every


    nook of thepound, 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


    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.


    “She didn’t, she hadn’t.” I replied to him and watched as he stared at me for a few seconds before


    shaking his head at me and rolling his eyes.


    “That’s probably because she didn’t know how she was going to ask you about me, and not because


    she hadn’t thought of me one bit.” He replied to me with another eye roll and I snorted at him once


    again before pulling my arm away from his shoulder to climb up the first stair, and turned my head


    around to stare at him as he did the same as soon as I got to the second stair.


    “What makes you think so? What makes you think she even still remembers what you look like?” I


    demanded with a small chuckle as I got to the top of the stair and turned around to watch as James did


    the same in the very next second.


    “Because she has a crush on me, that’s how I know.” He replied and I breathed out augh and a snort


    at the same time, resisting the urge to run my fingers through my hair at that moment when my fingers


    started to feel prickly.


    “How do you know that? Bozo.”


    “I just do.” He replied and I rolled my eyes at him as I stepped forward until I was standing at the front


    of the door.


    “You’re extremely wrong, she sees you as a child of hers.” I informed him as I fished out the set of keys


    which I always carry around with me, wherever I go.


    “Oh, man, she doesn’t. She sees me as a young boy she’d like to–” I turned around and held a finger


    up in his face before he couldplete his sentence, staring at him daringly, as a warning slipped out


    my lips.


    “Don’t you dareplete that sentence, you pervert.”


    I watched as a small chuckle yed out at the edges of his lips, as well as a tiny eye roll before he


    started to speak, while reaching up for my finger thigh was still raised up in his face, and wrapping his


    hand around my wrist to tug my hand down and away from the front of his face, in the next second.


    “I wasn’t nning onpleting tbe sentence in Ynr first ce after all, I just wanted to ruffle your


    feathers up a little.” He murmured and I rolled my eyes before reaching out my right here and using it to


    shove tne middle of his chest hard. His eyes widened and he stumbled for a fleeting second before I


    reached out and steadied him with a firm grip on his shoulder.


    “Thanks man.” He murmured and I nodded my head at him before turning around and inserting this


    particr door''s key into its keyhole before turning it around until the door opened. I pulled on the door


    knob and made my way inside, turning around to watch as James stepped into the house and pulled


    the door into ce, after tugging the keys out from the door and using it to lock the door from the inside


    – he also didn’t pull the keys out of the door, like it was actually supposed to be done.


    I made my way deeper into the house and stopped once I got to the first hallway. I sinked into one of


    the iron chairs there and started to take my shoes off. I nced sideways and noticed James doing the


    same, leaving him in a pair of dark socks, but I had taken my socks off as well, inserting it into my


    shoes and cing the pair of shoes on the sides of the hallway, on a mat.


    I pushed myself to my feet and started to make my way towards the kitchen, with James slowly trailing


    after me. I tugged out my phone from my pocket and raised it up, watching as the bright lights on the


    roof of the house showed on my face immediately, and it made it really easy for the face identification


    scanner on my phone to scan my phone immediately, and the phone got opened automatically in the


    next second.


    My eyes quickly went to the top left side of the phone and zeroed in on the time. It was some minutes


    past ten in the night. I pulled down the notifications bar and the side of my lips moved from side to side


    as I watched as the notifications just kept lengthening as the seconds slowly went by. I turned my head


    around and held my phone up while staring at James who was currently staring at the wall, at dole or


    the arts which were on the wall.


    “Man, do you get thousands of notifications on your phone every damn time?” I demanded and


    watched as James dragged his eyes off the wall and pointed his index finger at the whole empty other


    side of tne wall,pared to the other side of the wall which was exactly opposite it, before starting to


    speak.
