Chapter 28

Luca’s POV

Why was she every still feeling pain? Werent the doctors supposed to be taken care oli all these She moved noain inter sleep and i winced as she moved her injured arm once hubin nending another pang of pain through her body and resulting in the Scrunched up facial epression getting more prominent and defined on her face

I watchedas heimilis Muttered once before her face eaned into a relaxed expression, right before it Muttered again and finally slid open after two more flutters I watched on herpy lidded eyen bunked open and I watched for a second longer, marking her last lacial expression in my head right as I allowed my eyes to slide shut as if I was already tantanleep I didn’t hear any other sound that would signal that she was either trying to get out of the bed to probably go the bathroom, but nothing sounded after a few minutes I didn bother giving in to my curiosity to peel my eyes open to take one last look at her and instead moved in my spot on the bed until was laying down more comfortably

And then slowly fell into a deep sleep. the feeling of Sofia’s silky underwear crossing my mind, the last thing I remember

I was up a few seconds before my alarm could go off and quickly shut it off before it started ringing and woke Sofia, Dragging myself out of the bed, i stretched for a few minutes, feeling my muscles release and hold only to release again,

Not feeling in any mood to exercise at the gym this morning. I crouched down and decided to do a few push ups right there beside my bed. And so I started moving up and down, counting silently in my head and finally stopping once I had gotten to fifty

feeling as if I had sweated out some of the worked up feeling I had in my chest, I made my way into the bathroom and took a quick shower, the icy cold water cascading down on me in a quick rush, washing the sweat and soap off my body

stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel to rub myself dry. I got into a pair of boxer shorts before making my way into the walk in closet to pick out something to wear

It was a Thursday, the fifth day into my new marriage and I picked out a dark blue suit and a white inner shirt. Picking a tieto match my suit, i dressed up and was taking care of my hair a few minutes later, standing before the mirror and tending to my hair, rubbing the usuals into it and running my comb through it before finally blowing it out and slightly patting it down with my hands. I didn’t need to carry a briefcase or a bag around which was supposed to be holding a laptop and some very important files because most of the important files I work with are there at the office and I almost never take my work froin the office all the way home to complete it, I have an office here at home and I also never take any work from there all the way to the office at the company I shrugged on my suit jacket once I was done and made my way out of the walk in closet, out the bedroom and only paused to pick up my phone, to run my eyes over Sofia’s sleeping form and also checked to make sure she wasn’t on the edge of the bed this time before finally making my way out of the bedroom and shutting the door quietly behind me I ascended the staircase and made my way out of the door, not bothering with collee this morning, I’ll get one when I get to the office. And with that in mind, I stepped out of the house door and nodded at the guards standing outside the house. Sofia’s personal guards were outside the house as well and I motioned my finger for them to climb down the few stairs at the front of the house “How was your night?” I asked after they greeted me once again, It was nice, thank you.” The one named Ethan replied while the other guard remained quiet Perhaps something happened to him last night and he was already thinking about it again because of my question

You’re to monitor Sofia’s injury, if the pain is still as intense as it was yesterday, get her to the hospital and have her checked up.” I said to them, directly eveing the guard named Ryan who had checked Sofia’s injury yesterday He’s the one good for this assignment because he knew how intense it was yesterday morning We’ll see to it sir* They both rephed in sync and I nodded my head once before starting to say again, this time, directly speaking to Ryan You saw how intense the pain was when she moved the arm around, monitor it today again and then if it ends up being as intense as it was yesterday, give me a call like you did and take her to the hospital.” Wil do sir” Ryan replied with a small bow of his head and i nodded my head once before dismissing them by waving a hand at thern and watched as they both turned around and went to stand outside the house with the other guards It wasnt time for them to be able to go into the house yet that would be until half an hour later The gates got rolled open by the workers in that department here in the house and my driver drove through the open gates, parking perfectly in one try He stepped out of the car and jogged towards me, his face eased in an easy expression “Good morning, MI BOG” He greeted the moment he stopped beside me and I nodded my head at him, looking him up and down and wondering why he appeared to hyber this morning I want one to depend completely on colleto wake my brains up in the morning, but coffee helps to wake my system up way faster than it would do automatically “Good prvofrung How we you feeling i murmured and watched as he threw his head back before starting to reply to me, it was obvious that he was Hugh on coffee of inolly at this point

Nobody was over this excited in this early hour of the day where the day wasn’t fully broken yet

Tiridoing quite alighet til How is Mis Racal doing? He asked back and cracked again, no because he was never the one to try to start a conversation or ask a question for a question

What did you laver i asked and watched as the blinked ice alte belore licking tus lips once He cleaned his palms on his pants material and licked tus lips again

Urn coffee l had coffee this morning He replied and stared at un pointedly ny eyes finally picking on the effects ive been silently looking for for

little while now His eyes were glad over and he looked quite normal but it was obvious he was high on something

I reached out and wrapped my hand around iste on his neck and used it to jer hlin forward until he was only a few leat wity from me His eyes widten and wolarness in his eyes was more obvious to me row due to how clone he was to me in mouth open but nothirva cama out and watched as the featul expression deepened when I tightened my hold on the the

What did you take

Um nothing

won’t you this question after this last time I paused and lightened my hold onun even more and watched as he quaked in any grip, sweat gathering on this forehead and sliding down the skin lowly

I knw without furning my head around that the guards at the front of the house were most definitely watching the whole silent drama unfold between nwy driver and I wasn’t aging Voce one bil. so there was no way they’d be alile to know what was actually going on

What did you take i asked again grinding each word out and making sure they come out lower than normal and I watched as he pulled out a slow breath which indenrrnelled of coffee like he claimed to have only taken at first

7 took DrugsI’m so sorry, boss.” He finally confessed, his eyelids drooping as shame washed over him

I

want wrong

What kind

Molly, and a few other ones.” He confessed in a quiet voice, the most quiet voice I’ve ever heard used ever since he started working with me, barely able to stare into my Gres at this point Why did you take drugs this morning? You wanna crash my car with all of us in it this morning i demanded, shaking him a little for emphasis and he shook his head immediately

No sir, that was never my intention. I’d never crash your car or put your life in danger” He started to say which made me short not so quietly

Do people who crash cars or get into accidents ever agree that they’d ever do it beforehand? “Go home,” I said to him as I watched as he started shaking his head almost immediately I released my home on his tie and took a step back away from him, he reached forward immediately and clutched on my wrist as desperate pleas fell out of his lips.

glanced down at his hands gnpping my wrist and back up at his face and he released his hold on my wrist a few seconds later, but never ceasing the pleas and excuses

“Go home, but come see me at the office later today You and I need to have a word or two I said to him before inserting my hands into my pocket and turning around to stare at the quards who all dragged their eyes away from our direction like They weren’t just staring over here, a moment ago What about my job sir? His voice sounded behind my back and he continued almost immediately, his voice a thread away from breaking and cracking

“Am I fired? My Ricci?” He continued and i turned around to face him and watched as he took an hesitant step away from me, dread clouding his glazed eyes “Go home Now.” i said instead and watched as he nodded his head once and made to walk towards the car in which he had come in “No, no Leave it here. Go without it, call someone to come pick you up once you leave here or take public transport, but leave the car here” He stared wide eyed at me for a few seconds before nodding his head jerkily and turning around to do as I had instructed. I turned around once again to stare at the guards still standing in front of the house, noticing immediately that Ryan and Ethan were nowhere to be found, making me figure out that they had most definitely gone into the house to check around the house and ensure it was a hundred percent sale.

I dug my phone out from my pants pocket and dialed James’ number. He answered the call on the second ring and demanded where I was immediately

I’m still at home Are you at the office yet?” I asked him, glancing up at the sky and noticing that the day was almost completely breaking “No, but I’m almost there. Why are you still at home? I swear to God, Luca-” He started to say but I cut him ofl, not put off one bit with the way he was speaking to me Weve been best friends since forever, what did you expect?

” sent the kid home a few minutes ago, and I’m currently without a driver I’ll drive my car myself today and be with you in a little while. Start sorting out the files we’re going to be taking along with us once you get there

What happened to him? He showed up with fight wounds?” James asked and I made my way towards the car and opened it immediately before sliding af and starting the car

“Worse He was floating on molly and some other shits” I replied to him and glanced sideways as the bodyguard who usually rides with us in the first Car tugged the door open and slid into the passenger’s seat

Jesus thus early

Can fucking relate, man” I replied as I started to slowly ease the car out of where it was parked.
