Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 85

Luca’s POV

“We haven’t met before, nor actually spoken before. Except that one time and I was sure she didn’t even know who I was at that moment. Of course, I had looked deeper into her because she had striked a spot in me which I had been thinking was purely sexual at first.” He paused at the last word and puffed at a small laugh before glancing at me to nudge the side of my shoulder.

“No offense man, but your cousin is really hot.”

I breathed out a small chuckle and shrugged once, flexing my fingers around in my pants pockets a little, knowing he obviously had a point by that last sentence which he had made– Aria was indeed hot.

“I mean, I never knew you guys were related from the very start, because I’ve never seen get around you throughout our whole friendship days, but then I made my researches and discovered that you were cousins.” He continued and then I glanced sideways at him, lifting my brow up at him. We’ve completely stopped walking at this point and we’re just standing in a particular spot, a few feet away from the entrance of tne hospital.

“Then?” I prompted when he remained quiet and kept staring at his feet. He shrugged his shoulders, lifting his shoulders high up to graze against his ears a little before glancing up and turning his head around to stare at me.

“Then I decided to not make any kind of move.” He finally said and I corked my head around to stare at him pointedly, my lips thinning and moving from side to side as I watched his left foot start to slightly move on the floor.

“That’s well…” I trailed off and huffed out a small breath before continuing, “That’s new. I honestly had no idea you were once into her.” I started to say after a few moments and a small, dried chuckle slipped out of his lips.

“I mean, I was… I think I still am, obviously.” He replied after a few moments and I nodded my head once, absorbing his reply and trying to fully process the information that my best friend and right hand man, was into my cousin– was so into my cousin, someone who I had no idea could ever be interested in someone, outside of sex and anything involving the bedroom.

“Why?” I asked after a while, staring up into the early evening sky and breathing in the flowery scent that was filling the whole atmosphere – courtesy of the amount of flowers that was planted in different spots and areas here in the hospital.

“I honestly don’t know. There’s just something about her, I guess.” He replied and I nodded my head once again, still trying to come to terms with the fact that my best friend was interested in my cousin.

“So, you haven’t ever spoken to her? Nothing?” I continued, pressing down on him for more details, because I was still trying to completely absorb and understand everything.

“Of course I have.” He said while staring at me with an expression covering his face which screamed ‘really?’ right into my face, and I shrugged my shoulders once because that was what I had thought before.

“We met at one particular night, in a nightclub, early this year.” He started to say after a few seconds and I sharply glanced at him immediately, narrowing my eyes at him and taking a step away from his side.

He barked out a small laugh as soon as he noticed before turning around and throwing his hands up in expsrstion.

“What now, man.” He said with a shake of his head and inflated at him even more, my mouth thinning even mire as I willed my mind to not start to pounder over what isn’t even fully clarified yet.

“Did you sleep with her?” I asked him after a few seconds and watched as the laugh on his face slowly disappeared, which made the frown on my face get even deeper and more outlined. I lifted my right hand up before he could start to speak, cutting him off automatically and I started to speak immediately.

“Please don’t tell me you slept with her.”

I was over protective over people I cared about, and that was that. I won’t try to fight, deny or charge that detail about the person I was currently becoming, despite how honestly confusing the foreign feelimg was.

I’ve always been protective towards Aria, right since we were young, when I was a teenager and she was a really small baby. I had always felt this urge in my body to protect her, because I Knew just how dangerous everything about the mafia was. And the feeling in my body has multiplied and increased drastically, over the years as Aria started to grow into a cute little thing, and Aria had been obsessed with me in return.

But then after our fathers had separated us, and my heart had mourned her loss and after a little while, that protective and possessive feeling I’ve always felt for her– the only female I’ve ever felt that kind of feeling over – started to slowly fade away. And as I grew into a young man, trying to become as emotionless as possible, the whole feeling I had about her which still lingered in my heart completely faded away until nothing remained in its place.

Perhaps, it has been there all these while. Perhaps, it was still there all this while – a tiny particle of that particular feeling had hidden into some spot or corner where I wouldn’t be able to find or feel it again, and it had fallen asleep, right until she came back into my life.

And as we started to get closer to each other once again, as we started to slowly care for each other once again, that feelimg in the deepest part of my being started to bloom once again, and it germinated and grew up ever so slowly… and until this moment after I had automatically assumed that my best friend had slept with my cousin, I had no idea that particular feeling had grown to this level which it was currently in.

And after all, until this very moment when I always saw death flash before my eyes, I didn’t know I had started to care about her so much, until I had almost lost her to some set of dumb boys.

Until they had felt like trying to do one of the sick things they were good at, and they had been unfortunate enough to pick my cousin to be the person which they were going to carry out their sick deeds out on– a move which they had started to carry out on her, and it had affected her really badly that her life got threatened really seriously.

Those set of dumb boys are going to be getting another visit from me, and this time; a very pissed off James was going to be coming along with me.

Together, we were going to be teaching them a lesson.
