Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 315

Luca’s POV

“I’m so sorry though, if I hadn’t agreed to showing him around, none of this would have happened.” She supplied after a few moments and I shook my head at her as I stroked her hair.

“It’s not your fault, bunny. You had no idea it was going to happen. I didn’t mean to make it seem like I was blaming you, so stop feeling bad, okay?” I murmured to her and she slowly nodded her head, even though I was sure she was definitely going to still keep feeling bad about it.

“I hope nothing happens to him.” She whispered after a few moments, and that was when I remembered that I still haven’t informed her that Armani have already been found.

“He’s fine, bunny. We found him some hours ago.”

Tears sprang to her eyes instantly and she was in my arms once again, sobbing tears of relief, that were still tugging at my chest.

I hated seeing her cry, no matter the kind of tears.

“Is he okay?” She finally asked when she pulled away. “Is he here now?”

I shook my head and breathed out a small sigh. “No, bunny. He isn’t. He’s getting some much needed treatments.”

Her eyes widened and her cheeks paled. “Is he hurt badly?” Her voice was shaky, and I began to ask myself how she was able to care so much for someone she had literally just got to know.

“Not too badly.” I responded, because there was no need for me to burden her with what had actually happened to him. I have no idea of what had actually happened to him because he was yet to come out of his unconscious state, that was going to be until tomorrow.

“Okay, I’m so relieved right now.” She whispered, her shoulders finally dropping from their tense posture.

I slid my hands around her thighs beneath the shirt and lifted her up, she was already used to me doing this so it didn’t startle her anymore. She was quick to wrap her legs and arms around me as she blinked down at me, eyes and cheeks still wet.

I hated how vulnerable I had unknowingly made her.

She didn’t say a thing and instead lowered her head to rest it against my shoulder, leaving all the decision making to me as I headed up the stairs to our bedroom. I headed straight for our bathroom and gently placed her on the counter, she shivered when her bare thighs connected with the coldness of the counter and didn’t let go of my suit lapels for a few more seconds.

She whispered out a stuttered response and i tugged her against me to press my lips against her head as I hugged her to me.

“You’re so precious bunny, how can I be disappointed in you?” I asked when I finally pulled away and she blushed and averted her gaze, but she was now thankfully smiling, which I was really relieved about.

I held her against me some more and went to deposit her in the bed, and then I took a fast shower and went to join her. I tugged her against me and brushed her hair out of her face.

“I’m sorry I flinched when you were coming towards me and um…” She began to speak and I instantly knew what she was referring to, and now that I was being honest with myself, I had been hurt by that– by the fact that she thought I could ever hit her.

“Shh…” I whispered as I tugged her against me, beneath the covers. Now wasn’t the time to have this conversation, that’s a conversation for another day.

“Let’s talk about that later, okay?” I murmured while hugging her to me and she nodded her head in response as she snuggled against me. She was so soft everywhere and it was literally what I needed in my life right now, after all the hardness I went through for the past couple of days.

“I’m glad you were not kidnapped, I don’t know what I’d have done if that had happened…” I murmured against her head, and her response was to snuggle closer against e in my shirt, and nothing has ever felt so perfect to me in a really long while.
