Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 65

Sofia’s POV

“It’s Sofia, no use of ma’am as well, remember?” I said to her at first and watched as a look of realization crossed her face before she nodded her head immediately and shifted a little bit forward until our knees were touching on the couch.

“My bad, I’m so sorry, Sofia. I keep forgetting.” Matilda said and I nodded my head with a small smile to dismiss the small distressed look on her face.

“What can I eat for dinner? I don’t feel like eating a thing tonight.” I started to say before letting out a small sigh and leaning my back against the back rest of the couch I was sitting in before I continued, “ I honestly wish I could make use of the drugs without having to eat a thing, that sounds like a lot of work to me right now.”

“Sofia!” Sarah called out from her spot on the couch and I watched as the horrified expression on her face turned into that on a stern one.

“Did you forget what just happened to you a few hours ago yet?” Sarah started to say and I breathed out a deep sigh before sitting up and starting to say.

“No, you don’t understand what I meant. I meant that I wished I could, not that I planned to do just that. I won’t do something like that this quick after I just finished seeing the doctor.” I said to her and sucked in a deep breath when another part of my stomach received the biting stabbing pain this time, making me wince a little and breathing out a little bit harshly from my nose.

“It still sounds almost like the same thing, you’d only be hurting yourself even more even if you feel it wouldn’t do a thing to your body system.” Sarah paused before continuing, “I mean, imagine if Ryan had not been there when you had come down the stairs and seen you struggling to move from a particular spot because of how intense the pain you were feeling was.” Sarah continued to stop before finally ending her sentence.

I made to reply to her but Matilda beat me to it, “Ryan hadn’t been the one to lift her up from the ground, that had been Mr Ricci.” Matilda said with the excited looo still on her face. I felt my face start to burn embarrassingly as the thought of Luca– who was still sick and was supposed to be resting, having to lift me up from the floor and cradle me in his arms, stared to float around in my head the moment after Matilda brought that particular detail up.

“Was it him? Were you there when it happened?” Sarah had asked, referring to Matilda and appearing almost doubtful.

“Of course I had been there. I was just leaving the kitchen when it happened.” Matilda started to say again I watched Sarah start to nod her head after a few moments.

“My Ricci had lifted her up immediately and Ryan had shifted away from her as well. I mean, Mr Luca has appeared almost possessive on seeing Sofia leaning on the arm of Ryan and the moment she had passed out, Mr Ricci had taken it up from there, lifting Sofia up as if she weighed nothing and going into the sitting room to lay her on the couch.” Matilda continued to explain, going into full details this time and I felt my cheeks heat up even more as my chest started to feel extended light in my heart.

She said he had acted almost possessive?

Possessive of me?

That had definitely got to be a confusion and misinterpretation, perhaps Matilda had been too excited about the whole thing happening and had gone ahead and imagined stuff and emotions that hadn’t even happened in the first place.

“Whoa, that’s a lot. Well it’s a good thing he’s possessive of her, that just shows that he's so much into her. Isn’t that right, Matilda?” Sarah started to say after a few seconds of silence and my eyes widened as I stared at Sarah, never expecting her to have said those words.

Well, why was I surprised in the first place? This was someone that spends a lot of time with Matilda from day to day, of course Matilda must have succeeded in filling her head with cliches, thoughts and imaginations that were just way too good to be true and unreal.

“Sarah! Not you too.” I said to Sarah as I rolled my eyes a little but Matilda started to speak before Sarah could begin to reply.

“Oh, but she’s extremely right. It’s a good thing he’s possessive, it means he’s completely into you and cannot handle the thought of another man being too close to you.” Matilda started to say as a small sigh that I could only place under the category of longing, drifted out of her mouth just as she continued to speak once again. “I mean, did you see the look on his face right before he lifted you off the floor, into his arms?” Matilda demanded, turning towards me this time. I pursed my lips and she grinned before shaking her head and continued almost immediately, “My bad, I had totally forgotten that you were the one who passed out at that moment, so of course you’ve completely missed the look he had on his face at that particular moment.”

I dragged in a deep breath, ignoring the small flutter that had began to flap around in my chest at that very moment. I breathed out another sigh, these people were going to do nothing but end up putting different kinds of thoughts into my head at this point if I still keep on allowing them to talk about this topic.
