Luca's POV

Something was very off with Leah and I was worried.

Her radiant smile and her happy aura were weirdly gone.

When she told me she had broke up with her ex, I felt sorry for her.

Leah was tough but she has a fragile heart and someone carelessly dropped it and now it shattered.

I felt like killing Matteo, to be honest, I didn't know him but he sounds like an asshole.

I can't wait until Leah lives here, I don't know why.

Just then Andrew walk in, "Your favourite brother is here! " he announced pointing at himself.

I rolled my eyes, "I saw my sunshine look all sunsetty, what did you do to her?" he asked.

"I did nothing, she apparently broke up with her fiance Matteo yesterday night."

I looked out the window seeing her figure go into the car as it drove away.

"She was engaged?"He asked, "Well, we never had a proper conversation about it but it seems that it happened before I hired her" I replied.

I poured a glass of wine and offered one to Andrew, he took it.

I took one sip, "You didn't come for the interrogation today" he informed me.

"Oh shit, that was today" I cursed "Don't worry it's fine, the guys passed out, hell be better tomorrow morning, did Linda give you tomorrow's schedule?" he asked me taking a seat across me.

"No, why?" I took another sip, "You're FULL of meetings tomorrow, both in business and mafia" He sighed.

"Tomorrow will be a long day," I said. "Did you get the United Nations to agree to the terms I gave them?" I asked.

"You'll see tomorrow" he groaned.

I was happy the kids would at least be with the kids tomorrow.

-----------------

I sat alone in my room, I felt alone.

Even when Bianca slept here with me. I. felt. alone.

Mother left me, and so did She. I lost them.

To what? This FUCKING MAFIA!

I hated it and I didn't want Leah dragged into it, but I knew I already dragged her into this already.

I'm scared of telling her about my mafia. My role as King.

Will it scare her? Surprise her?

I want her to be happy in general.

I stood by the large window in my room, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts and emotions.

The room was dimly lit, reflecting the turmoil I felt inside.

I knew I was standing at a crossroads, and the choices I made would have far-reaching consequences.

My heart yearned to tell Leah the truth, to reveal my true feelings for her.

But I couldn't shake the fear that doing so could put her in danger.

And it is not 'could put her in danger', it's 'will put her in danger'.

The mafia life I had been entangled in was dark and treacherous, and I had always worked diligently to keep it far away from Leah and the children.

Yet, lately, being near Leah had brought warmth and lightness into my life that I hadn't experienced in a long time.

I admired her strength, her compassion, and her ability to see the good in me when I struggled to see it myself.

I longed to hold her in my arms, to kiss her softly, and to whisper all the words I had been holding back.

But the truth remained that I was the King of the Mafia, a title that carried a heavy burden of danger and secrecy.

I had worked hard to keep my two worlds separate, to protect those I loved from the darkness that lurked at the edges of my life.

I knew that if I told Leah the truth, our lives would change forever, and I couldn't predict the consequences.

In the silence of my room, I weighed the possibilities, torn between my love for Leah and my desire to keep her safe.

I feared that if I confessed my feelings and my position in the mafia, she would look at me differently, that she might be scared or run away, or treat me differently.

But, I couldn't deny the truth any longer.

My feelings for Leah were becoming undeniable and consuming, and I couldn't continue to hide behind the guise of a mere employer.

I wanted to be honest with her, to share everything, but the fear of losing her holds me back.

My hand clenched into a fist as I grappled with my emotions.

I knew that I couldn't keep her in the dark forever.

Leah deserved the truth, and I needed to trust that she would understand.

But the fear of her rejection or worse, her safety being compromised, keeps me hesitant.

As I continued to gaze out the window, a soft breeze rustled the curtains, as if whispering a gentle reminder that honesty and love had a way of breaking down barriers.

I knew that I needed to make a decision soon, to confront my feelings and my past, and to have a conversation with Leah that would change everything.

At that moment, I made a silent promise to myself.

I would find the courage to talk to Leah, to reveal my feelings and my secret, and I would trust that she would stand by his side.

But I plan on saying them on their own time.

Our love has to be a force that must be ready to survive so much to come, and I had to believe it could withstand the challenges ahead.

And I have to be sure, I can't just think I like her, maybe I don't, I probably don't.

Taking a deep breath, I turned away from the window, determined to face the truth and embrace the risks that came with it.

I knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but I was willing to navigate it if it meant a chance at a future with Leah, a future built on honesty, love, and the courage to face whatever came our way.

But what if just care about her, and love is just a big word I'm using?
