Bound By Circumstance: The Mafia's Innocent Bride
Friends to the Rescue
Welcome back lovely readers 😃
Luca stormed into his office, his foul mood casting a dark shadow over the entire building. His employees felt the brunt of his frustration, with each harsh word and angry glare.
Employee 1
(whispering) My legs are shaking like when I do my leg workouts.
Employee 2
(nervously) I'm feeling nauseous now.
Employee 3
(near tears) I don't know who spoiled his mood today. God, please save us.
Luca's closest friends, Marco, Vito, and Antonio, sat in the meeting room, watching him pace back and forth. His frustration was palpable, and they knew better than to interrupt him.
Finally, Marco, the most perceptive of the group, broke the silence.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(calmly) Luca, what's going on? You look like you're ready to explode.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(sighing, running a hand through his hair) It's Emma. We had a conversation last evening, and she's pushing me to leave this life. She wants me to give up everything and just live a normal life with her.
Vito (ML BFF & Best Hacker)
(raising an eyebrow) And what did you say?
Luca Moretti (ML)
(frustrated) I couldn't tell her the truth. How can I explain that this world is all I know, that I can't just walk away from it? She doesn't understand.
Antonio (ML BFF & best sniper)
(nodding) It's a tough situation, man. But you can't keep avoiding the truth.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(firmly) Luca, you need to tell her. If she finds out on her own, it will be much worse. You have to be honest before you mess this up completely.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(sighing) I know. But I'm scared of losing her. I want to marry her, to make sure she's mine forever. Maybe then she'll understand and accept it.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(Shaking his head) That's a rash decision, Luca. Marriage won't solve this issue. You need to give her time, let her process everything.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(obsessed) I can't wait. I need to secure her by my side. I don't want to lose her.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(advising) Luca, listen to me. Forcing her into a decision won't end well. Give her the time she needs. If she truly loves you, she'll come to terms with it. But you have to be honest with her first.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(adamant) I hear you, Marco, but I can't wait. I have to make sure she's with me, no matter what.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(sighing) Just be careful, Luca. Don't let your obsession drive her away. Honesty and patience are your best options here.
Luca's friends exchanged worried glances. They could see the psychotic obsession in Luca's eyes, a dangerous intensity that was growing stronger each day.
They were scared about his behavior, knowing how unpredictable he could be when it came to matters of the heart.
Vito (ML BFF & Best Hacker)
(whispering to Antonio) This isn't good. He's too far gone.
Antonio (ML BFF & best sniper)
(nodding) I feel sorry for Emma. She has no idea what she's about to face.
Marco (ML BFF & Right hand)
(quietly) We need to keep an eye on him. His obsession is spiraling out of control.
Luca nodded, though his mind was already made up. He knew what he wanted, and he wasn't willing to risk losing Emma. But deep down, he also knew that Marco was right.
The truth had to come out, and he had to find a way to make Emma understand his world.
As he walked back to his office, Luca's thoughts were consumed with how to balance his love for Emma with the dark reality of his life
He couldn't let her go, but he also couldn't ignore the need for honesty.
It was a delicate balance, one that could either strengthen their bond or shatter it completely.
On the other side of the city, Emma was feeling trapped. The unfamiliar surroundings of Italy made her hesitant to venture out alone.
She was engrossed in a case study of one of her patients when her phone rang, breaking her concentration.
Emma Smith (FL)
(smile widely) hel-
Anamika (FL BFF)
(excitedly) Oi, my baby! How are you? And where are you? Also, when will you come back?
Melina (FL BFF)
(laughing) Oh, oh, girl, let her speak first!
Emma Smith (FL)
(chuckling) I missed you bitçhes.
Melina (FL BFF)
Yeah, yeah, we know. That’s why you didn’t call us, and we didn’t even know where you are.
Emma Smith (FL)
(sighing) It’s been a whirlwind. I’m in Italy right now.
Anamika (FL BFF)
(surprised) Italy? What are you doing there?
Emma Smith (FL)
(taking a deep breath) My grandparents had an accident, and I came here to be with them. And... well, I met someone. His name is Luca.
Anamika (FL BFF)
(teasingly) Ooh, sounds juicy. Spill the details 🙀
Emma Smith (FL)
(nervously) It’s complicated. I’ve fallen for him, but there’s so much I don’t understand. He’s... involved in things I’m not sure I can handle.
Anamika (FL BFF)
(seriously) Like what? Is he dangerous?
Emma Smith (FL)
(hesitating) Yes and no. He’s involved in some gang like gangster. It’s a bad world, and I don’t know if I can be a part of it. I’m scared and confused.
Melina (FL BFF)
(concerned) Oh, Emma. That sounds intense. What are you going to do?
Emma Smith (FL)
(sighing) I don’t know. I feel trapped here, and I don’t know who to turn to. I love him, but I’m not sure if love is enough.
Anamika (FL BFF)
(sympathetically) We’re here for you, Emma. Actually, that’s why we called. We have some news.
Melina (FL BFF)
(excitedly) We’re coming to Italy! There’s a camp we’re attending for a few months, and we’ve added your name to the list. We called to inform you.
Emma Smith (FL)
(surprised and happy) Really? You’re coming here?
Anamika (FL BFF)
(laughing) Yes, we’ll be there in a week. We thought it would be great to spend some time together and help you figure things out.
Emma Smith (FL)
(smiling) That’s amazing. I can’t wait to see you both. Maybe this is just what I need to clear my head and make a decision.
Melina (FL BFF)
(encouragingly) Exactly. We’ll be there for you, Emma. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Emma Smith (FL)
(tears welled up) Thanks girls. Love you 😘
As the call ended, Emma felt a glimmer of hope. Her friends were coming to Italy, and with their support, she might be able to sort through her feelings and make a decision about her future with Luca.
The idea of spending time with Anamika and Melina brought a sense of relief and anticipation. She was eager for their arrival, believing that their presence would help her navigate the complexities of her heart and mind.
Emma knew that talking with her friends would give her the clarity she desperately needed.
