Bound By Circumstance: The Mafia's Innocent Bride
Luca's Dream and fear
Welcome back lovely readers 😀
Continuing from the last chapter
As she stepped out into the rain, Emma felt a sense of resolve to wash over her.
Luca jerked awake, his heart pounding and his body drenched in sweat. He looked around, disoriented, and realized he was still in his room.
The dream had been so vivid, so real. He could still feel the lingering fear of losing Emma, the pain of her departure haunting him.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(muttering to himself) Where is Emma? Did she leave me?
Panic gripped him. He grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the guard appointed to secretly protect Emma.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(voice trembling with urgency) HOW IS SHE? DID SHE LEAVE?
Guard 1
(confused) Who, Capo?
Luca Moretti (ML)
(gritting his teeth) Emma. Is she still at the hospital?
Guard 1
(after a brief pause) Yes, Capo. She’s still there. She’s packing her grandparents' things.
Luca didn't wait for another word. He jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, and rushed out of his house. His car roared to life as he sped towards the hospital, the dream still replaying in his mind. The thought of Emma leaving him, of losing her, was unbearable.
When he arrived at the hospital, Luca stormed through the doors, his presence commanding attention. He found Emma in her grandparents' room, packing their bags. Her grandparents looked up, surprised, as he entered.
Emma Smith (FL)
(startled) Luca, what are you doing here?
Luca Moretti (ML)
(trying to stay calm) I came to see how your grandparents are doing.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(turning to her grandparents) You should come stay at my mansion. It's safer and more comfortable.
Fl Grandma
(smiling gently) That’s very kind of you, Luca, but we don’t want to be a burden.
Emma Smith (FL)
(firmly) We appreciate the offer, but we’re fine here. We’ll be leaving soon anyway.
Luca felt his anger rising, the thought of Emma leaving him driving him to the edge. He stepped closer to her, his voice low and intense.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(eyes flashing) You can’t just leave. It’s not safe out there. You need protection, especially now.
Emma Smith (FL)
(meeting his gaze, trying to stay composed) We’ll be fine, Luca. We’ve managed so far.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(gritting his teeth) I’m not just talking about safety, Emma. I can’t let you go.
Emma’s hands trembled as she continued to pack. She could feel the intensity of his gaze, the desperation in his voice.
She had never seen him like this, so vulnerable and yet so determined.
Emma Smith (FL)
(softly) Luca, we can’t stay. It’s not just about safety. I need to think about what’s best for us.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(voice rising) What’s best for us is being together. I can’t lose you, Emma. I won’t.
Emma’s grandparents exchanged a worried glance. They could see the storm brewing between Luca and Emma, the tension palpable.
FL Grandpa
(gently) Emma, maybe we should consider Luca’s offer. It might be the best option for now.
Emma Smith (FL)
(shaking her head) No, Grandpa. We’ve made our decision.
Luca’s anger flared, his frustration boiling over. The thought of Emma walking out of his life was more than he could bear.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(grabbing her arm, his grip firm) You’re not leaving. I won’t let you.
Emma’s eyes widened in fear and confusion. She had never seen this side of Luca, this raw, desperate need to control the situation.
Emma Smith (FL)
(voice shaking) Luca, you’re hurting me.
Luca immediately loosened his grip, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and regret. He took a step back, trying to calm himself, but the thought of losing Emma was tearing him apart.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(softening) I’m sorry, Emma. I just… I can’t imagine my life without you. Please, stay.
Emma looked into his eyes, seeing the pain and fear that mirrored her own. She felt torn, her heart aching with the impossible decision she had to make.
Emma Smith (FL)
(whispering) Luca, I love you. But I can’t stay in this world. It’s too much.
Luca felt a pang of fear, realizing that his actions might drive her away for good. He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to make her understand.
Emma Smith (FL)
(softly) I need time, Luca. Please understand.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(looked at her grandparents) There are some misunderstandings. I will talk with her. Just give me some time
Fl Grandma
(Nodded with a smile)
FL Grandpa
(sigh) children these days
Luca Moretti (ML)
(pulled her out and took her to the top floor)
Emma Smith (FL)
Planning to push me? (rolling her eyes)
Luca Moretti (ML)
(sighing deeply) Okay, you can take time. But you can't leave here. You can think as much as you want by staying with me.
Emma Smith (FL)
(shocked) What?
Emma was shocked to hear this. She couldn't believe that Luca, the man she had grown to love, was trying to control her so blatantly.
Emma Smith (FL)
(firmly) No, Luca. I have a life there. That's my home. I have to leave.
Luca's eyes darkened with a mixture of fear and determination. He couldn't bear the thought of her walking out of his life, especially not now when he had just realized how much she meant to him.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(voice low and intense) Emma, I can’t let you go. Not now, not ever. You’re safer here with me. I’ll protect you.
Emma Smith (FL)
(desperately) But I can’t stay here, Luca. This isn’t my world. I need to go back to my life.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(stepping closer, his gaze locking onto hers) Your life is here with me now. I won’t lose you, Emma. I can’t.
Emma felt a chill run down her spine. The Luca she had seen moments ago, the man she loved, seemed to vanish, replaced by someone she barely recognized.
Emma Smith (FL)
(pleading) Please, Luca. Don’t do this. You can’t keep me here against my will.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(coldly) I can and I will. You’ll thank me one day, Emma. I’m doing this for us.❄️🥶
Emma’s heart raced as she realized the depth of Luca’s resolve. She saw no trace of the man who had gently held her hand, the man who had made her laugh. Instead, she saw a powerful, ruthless figure willing to do anything to keep her by his side.
Emma Smith (FL)
(voice trembling) Luca, you’re scaring me. You can’t force me to stay.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(coldly) You’re everything to me. I can’t lose you.🥶❄️
Emma backed away, feeling trapped. She had to find a way out, but Luca’s presence was overwhelming. She couldn’t imagine what he might do if she tried to leave.
Emma Smith (FL)
(resolute) I won’t stay here, Luca. This isn’t right.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(grabbing her arm gently but firmly) You will stay, Emma. You belong with me. I’ll make sure you understand that, one way or another.
Emma felt a surge of panic. She had to get away, but how? She was alone in a foreign country, with no one to turn to. She looked into Luca’s eyes, hoping to find a hint of the man she loved, but all she saw was unyielding determination.
