2 days later....

"So you lied about him being your brother?"

"No. I thought he was my brother. But then it didn't make sense. Then it did make sense so I came to the conclusion he was my dad even at s young age which is gusting but—"

"I get it."

"So marianno is alive after Luca claimed he was dead?"

"I don't know.."

"Stop lying davina."

"I'm not Odina I swear I don't know all of it. He just showed up out of no where and seemed to be hiding I'm still angry but I'm happy I have at. Least one parent not that I even know anything about my mother."

"Can you tell me why you're so afraid of Luca then?" I ask.

"I think Marianno should tell you that."

"Well I don't know when that man is coming back so davina please bare with me."

"I can't trust you like that. The more you know it'll be bad. And Luca won't be close to happy." She whispers.

"Why wouldn't he be happy??"

"Because he didn't kill off all the Santis. He thought he did but he didn't. It will make sense later. My dad is clearly a threat to him so."

"How is he a threat?" I ask again.

"I can't tell you." She whispers.

"And I don't know how you haven't put it together." She mumbles under her breathe.

There's a knock on my door and davina just looks at me as Antonio walks in.

I didn't want to move back in but I can't hide forever. His men look down on me in a disgusting way but...I don't care.

He said he won't hurt davina. But davina doesn't want to even sleep in her own room. Leyah isn't happy I'm back and andres has actually gotten big. Almost a year. So much changed and it feels so foreign...we're already in September and I don't know.

Me and Luca are in a horrible position but I have to show my face one day. So of course he hosts another mascarade ball. The Americans haven't invaded because they're under faiths command now.

And I went back to the mansion I was in with Jason. There was a letter and it basically said faith will never do harm to me. How I can trust them and there on my side which was more then enough. The letter made me cry. It was long and he told me how happy I made him. It was like he knew his time would be up soon. And he said his sister would be there when it's time for me to finally put Luca down.

Which I don't think I can ever do.

The Americans are more on my side then Luca. But I signed a truce with them for both the mafias without Luca knowing. It would give us both a break from any invasion from them and be on .... balance terms. He wasn't happy. But I told him he can't go against them.

There has been so much business to handle but I got it all done and I feel bad that Antonio was basically the leader while I took a whole vacation from reality.. but I think things are back on track now.

"Davina can come with me." Antonio says and I smile trusting him. He's been hurting since Mariannas death. They were always closer then I was with them because I was the youngest and seemed like the annoying cousin who just wanted to hang around the big kids.

Him and da Vinci aren't together which is beyond weird and for the first time the alliance feels ...just broken.

As if we're together living separate  lives.

I miss Jason a lot. And sometimes I think if I went with my head none of these things would've happened. I'm angry at da Vinci for actually doing it but had a duty as well.

"I'll take care of her." He assures and I nod.

Davina just looks at me and shakes her head no not wanting to go with him.

I kneel down to her and place my hand on her cheek.

"He's my brother. My right hand man and basically my best friend. If I trust him so can you. He won't let anything happen to you. All you guys will do is have dinner and go shopping or whatever you want to do for the entire night Okay?..."

"It's okay. By the time you come back I'll be here and you can sleep in my bed. I'm his boss and I'm ordering him to take care of you. Now go. I love you." I whisper and her eyes ease a little.

I take her hand and walk her over to Antonio who then takes her hand.

"She's sassy." I warn and he nods smiling. They leave end I go back to stare at myself in the mirror.

I look at the gold silk dress Luca got for me. And then I'm basically dazzled in diamonds around my neck wrists and ears. The dress is tight around my body and is basically only covering the nipples of my breasts. It's kind of a train dress and surprisingly no slots so it's kind of more modest.

My hair is in a low ponytail and I love how I've actually let it grow out. I think I've gained weight but it's healthy? I've been working out again so hopefully that will help.

I pick up the gold sparkly mask he got me and put it on before just staring at myself.

I look at my left and and I haven't been wearing my wedding ring. I feel like it's wrong too. I almost forget I'm married at times.

I go to my desk and pick it up slipping it back on. At least my nails look nice.

"What's it like being gay then?" She asks.

She's driving me insane. She talks too much but I see why Odina is fond of her. She has a warm heart but is cruel and harsh. And so...fucking...spoiled.

Odina claims that it's okay. But she thinks nothing more then money. Her mind is based around money.

She's too smart for her age and knows too many things she shouldn't.

"So you have intercourse with men how does that even work."

What did she say....

"It's the same thing as a women being with an out her women." I say calmly as she goes through dresses. I have to babysit her till what? Two in the morning. These parties don't even start till midnight even. And it's a ball. Should be with Da Vinci but I still can't even look at him even if it's Lucas fault.

Marianna was like my older sister. Like she raised me almost so I miss her a lot. And Alejandro was so good to her treated her like an actual queen. And I've never seen such a devouted little family.

"I wouldn't know. I only lam into clothes and money." She smirks.

She's horrible.

"So you'll never fall in love?"

"Yes."

"With money...and clothes." She smiles.

"Men are disgusting. And women are...annoying. So emotional and irritating. Men are a waste of space. I'd date myself. But I would understand why boys would fall too my feet." She rambles.

"Your nine."

"Okay?" She makes a disgusted face at em.

She doesn't even realize she's already spent thousands of my money.

"You seem like a good brother though. Odina deserves that." She links at Odina like a mom. I still don't know her story or why Luca would kill a beautiful little girl.

"You really care for Odina that much?" I ask.

"Yes. She deserves the world and I wish she would stop faking she's happy. Maybe if Luca was a better person she'd be happier. But all he does is hurt her and everyone around her."

I like her. Only smart one other then myself now.

I pay for the five fucking dresses before holding the bags in my hand and walking out.

"We can watch a movie then eat." It's already ten but I need to buy time. And she's definitely buying my time....

𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒗

I think everyone's eyes move to Odina as she walks into the ballroom.

She looks stunning. But there are whispers and so many questions about my leadership.

How I wasn't able to keep my own wife on a leash and even take her back. She really went through a whole scandal and we're in a weird place.

Leyah is at home with andres. Leyah is okay. She's a good mom though. Even if she's bitchy. I do care for her in the sense that she takes care of my son a lot. I'd say I treat her well I guess.

I take her hand and guide her to the middle as the music starts from the beginning.

She looks nervous and cleary doesn't want to be here but we have to make everyone see that we're still in a union. And that her huge vacation break...didn't break us or our mafias. Antonio has done well holding it down but he's going insane and things have gotten so much under control with Odina finally back.

"Look beautiful." I whisper and she gives me a weak smile.

I just nod and he spins me in one circle. I'm trying to just focus on this and my steps but I'm fumbling a little.

I'm. Happy when the song finally ends after it's felt like hours.

He ends it by kissing me softly and I haven't felt his lips in forever. Everyone just claps and he takes off my mark as I do the same.

I just give him a smile as he does the same and people start coming back into the floor.

"I'm going to use the bathroom." I whisper before just leaving.

𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒗

She's being weird. The whole time.

I can't help but follow her just because of what happened last time. I don't want her going through that again.

And we still have so much to talk about.

I open the first bathroom door to seeing her full on crying.

"This dress is too tight." She cries unzipping it immideatly .

"Why didn't you say anything I could've gotten you another one." I say and she shakes her head panicking.

I close the door and she takes out her ponytail trying to catch her breathe.

"It's not the dress it's me. I feel like I've gained weight and look different." She whispers looking at herself in the mirror.

"You're perfectly fine princess stop talking like that."

I used to call her beautiful every day. Of every second. Because she is and I know she's insecure at times. But I just need her know that she is gorgeous not just physically but mentally.

She's always emotional but she's been through too much and mostly because of me.

"I'm a slut. You're right. Who cheats in a powerful mafia leader with another powerful leader. " she admits.

"I'm sorry Luca truly. Can we please just go home though. There are too many eyes and I know they're all thinking how horrible I am. " she breathes.

Her chest is a light pink.

"I forgive you." I blurt. She won't forgive herself till I forget her.

"What."

"You did it because I didn't give you what you need I'm sorry. Don't ever apologize. I killed your family and cheated multiple times as wel. It's okay I forgive you." I place my hands on her neck and she calms a little.

"Really?"

"Yes." I assure. I can't hate her forever. I haven't had her in my arms in almost three months and I've been going crazy.

"I just want to go home." She whispers and I nod.

"Then  we'll go home amor." I assure and her arms just wrap around my neck hugging me. My eyebrows furrow and I slowly wrap my arms around her back holding her finally.

"I missed you." I whisper.

"' me too. Just don't let me go. And don't hurt me."

I won't let you go.

But I don't know if I can keep myself from hurting you.

PLEASE READ

author note: Luca is himself with her. He sees her for more then this emotional reck. He's possible of her and his feelings are genuine even if he's not good. He has personal problems that take over now he is towards Odina. If he was able to put his paramo to the side he'd be a good husband.

Realize that she makes him vulnerable and she will always run back to him for comfort because he's the only man who understands her. And also remember she was so young getting to know him. Her hormones and emotions were running wild at the age sixteen so that's why she's so attracted and is always hard to leave. She's loyal to him and faithful.  He knows that and also know that Luca is the type of man who need affection but really doesn't know how to take it.

He's scared, genuinely scared. And has his guard up. So any little threat he will try to remove before it becomes a bigger problem. And he hurts Odina by hurting the people around her. Because he's selfish and again wants her to fear him in away.

Anyways tell me what you think this was kind of long though! And I'm thinking of making a short sequel because of the way it ends....

Love you guys thanks for the support please comment and vote though byeee
