Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 136

Luca’s POV

I didn’t really know what it was that had woken me up exactly, all I was sure about, was the fact that there was something like a weird noise sounding around me, like it was coming from a spot right beside my head, and that sound had kept increasing and heightening up until it had ended up dragging me right of the deep sleep that I had been in, a close second ago.

I blinked my eyes awake and stared up into my roof, my brain lazily finding it hard for me to comprehend what it was that had woken me up in the first place. My brain was working slow at a really bad time, because it took over a minute for me to realize that the sounds which I had been hearing right from my sleep, hadn’t been my imagination, and had been happening in real life, right there beside me on my bed.

My eyes widened as my eyes zeroed in on a sobbing Sofia and my heart had a skipped s few heartbeats at that very moment, as I pushed myself up into a sitting position.

I shifted closer towards her, and slowly realized that she wasn’t even awake yet, and had been crying right from her sleep.

She wasn’t even crying, it was more like she was whimpering like a wounded puppy, but it was way more stronger and pitiful than that of a puppy.

“Sofia?” I called out while still staring at her, trying to block out the sounds of her whimpers and how it was literally wrenching my heart, coupled with the fact that her tear stricken face was messing with my head. My heart was really fast and all I wanted to do at this very moment was to kill whoever it was that was behind what was happening to her at the moment.

“Sofia?” I called out once again and got nothing in reply, except the fact that she had started to full on sob after a few moments, and I stared at her helplessly, not knowing what it was that I was supposed to do at a situation like this.

It was obvious enough that she was having a bad dream at the moment, but how do I wake her up and pull her out of it. I reached out and touched her bare arm, using it to shake her a little, in hopes of making her come awake and get her out of whatever it was that she was facing in her head.

It didn’t help a bit because she didn’t come awake, and had instead started to whisper jumbled up words that sounded so much like broken pleas, and it made my heart squeeze really tightly in the middle of my chest that I found it hard to breath for a few seconds.

Shoving all thoughts to the wind as well as everything in mind that wes trying to make me understand that what I was about to do was a really bad idea, and that you shouldn't do it, but I ignored it and shifted even closer to Sofia’s body until my body was touching hers. It was the first time our bodies were going to be touching each other on the bed, and it sent a warm feeling into my body… I just wished it didn’t have to be this kind of incident that would have a hand in making our bodies touch each other for the first time here on this bed.

Trying to block out the sounds of her voivr breaking as each whispered and stuttered pleas slipped past her lips, as well as more sobs– out of my ears as I got even closer to her, I stretched out my hand out and slipped the first one underneath her body, pulling her into my arms immediately. I dragged her body up until my arms were circling her body and I was holding her fully in my arms, hating the way my bare chest was getting wet super fast, due to the tears she was shedding.

“Sofia? You’re alright, yeah?” I murmured in a low voice as I started to stroke my hand down her back, while my other hand held her firmly into my body. I was trying my very best to offer her as much comfort as I could, in order to pull her out of what she was fighting in her unconscious state. My hands found my way into her hair and I started to run my fingers through the roots, pulling her even closer to me and hoping I’d be able to wake her up this way.

It took a few more minutes until her cries started to quieten down, and after a few more moments, her body stiffened against my body all of a sudden, which was the proof that I needed, to make it known to me that she was finally awake, or was about to.

“Shh, it’s only me.” I whispered against her hair and pulled her even closer towards my chest, and I felt how fast her heart was beating against mine, which pointed out the fact that I was really nervous at the moment.

I had no idea if she was even completely out of her head yet, or if she was still thinking she was still dreaming.

“Sofia?” I called out and tightened my arms around her when she started to struggle like she was about to get out of my arms.

“Let me go…” She stuttered out in a small voice and I breathed out a low sigh, this wasn’t helping one bit, it was obvious that she was still in her head.
