Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 170

Sofia’s POV

I turned on my side and pushed my face into the sheets, breathing in deeply and dragging the blanket

over my body even more. I wasn’t funny awake yet, but the scent which I’ve come to love and get

addicted to, was stifling my whole senses and pouring off this particular spot which I was laying in at

the moment, and I turned around once again, tugging my legs upwards to wrap my arm around myself,

curling up into a small ball and pulling the blanket around me once again.

After a few more minutes, I blinked my eyes open and stared at the darkness of the blanket which I

was currently beneath and slowly tugged the material off my face until my head was leaking out. I

breathed in deeply ruffs before I allowed my hand to slide out from beneath the blanket to rub against

my eyes, and after a few more moments, I finally tugged the blankets off my body until it was around

my waist, and then I pushed myself into a sitting position.

I didn’t need to glance into the space beside me to know that Luca was no longer in bed at the moment

and would have most definitely been at work at the moment.

I turned my head around either way, and it was in that moment, that I realized that I was currently

sitting in Luca’s side of the bed, which means I had probably rolled around in my sleep, or perhaps luca

had laid me down there after getting out of bed this morning, because he had once again tugged me

into his arms last night, and I had remembered falling asleep faster than ever on his chest.

I ran my fingers through my hair, combing through the curls and tangles as I shuffled to the side of the

bed, before pushing up from the bed and stretching my body out a little.

It felt like I had run a marathon last night, all because it was the first time I’d been attending a gathering

so late into the night, coupled with the fact that I had to stay in heels throughout. I tapped my phone out

glanced at the time, it was currently past ten in the morning, making me realize that I had slept in really

late this morning.

It was a good thing that I wasn’t expected to be getting up from bed super early, because I had no idea

as to how I was going to handle getting up from bed early in the morning to prepare breakfast for my

husband, or something relating to that.

I started to make my way towards the bathroom, pulling the door close behind me and I made my way

straight into the toilet to empty my bladder which was completely filled up. I had woken up in the middle

of the night, wanting to go to the bathroom, but then I had found myself cocooned in Luca’s strong

arms, with my body being almost completely on his body, and I had felt too greedy at that moment

because I didn’t want to leave his embrace in that moment.

He just felt so safe and calm and the fact that he had still kept on holding me to himself firmly even

though he was fast asleep, and I knew I wouldn’t know how to get back into his embrace myself if I had

indeed slipped out from his grip to go to the bathroom, and so I had forced it back and fallen back

asleep after a couple of minutes of me doing noticing but nosing my way around his throat and neck.

I got out of the toilet and paused before the hand wash basin to wash my hand and face, and after that,

I proceeded to wash my mouth and take my bath. Taking my bath had been super fast because I was

really hungry and I wanted to go get something to eat as fast as possible, and so I washed my hair

super fast in the shower as well.

I toweled myself dry as much as I could as I made my way out of the bathroom and into the walk in

closet. I was out of the walk in closet after a few minutes as well, and I remembered to pick up my

phone and to put my hair into a bun, before I existed the bedroom and pulled the door close behind me.

I descended the staircase as fast as I could and then I made my way into the kitchen. Sarah was

currently in the kitchen when I made my way there and she gave me a bright smile after we exchanged

greetings. She proposed to make me breakfast but I declined and informed her that I was going to be

waiting for Matilda, since it wasn’t Sarah’s job to cook coupled with the fact that I didn’t want to put her

through any kind of unnecessary stress.

I bid her goodbye and told her that I was going to be in the sitting room as I made my way out of the

kitchen and into the hallway. I paused when I had almost arrived at the sitting room, because Ryan was

also walking through the hallway, into the direction I was coming from. He paused a few feet before me

and I smiled up at him with a small wave of my hand.

“Hi Ryan,” I breathed out and as usual, he nodded his head at me and the sides of his mouth tugged a

little, indicating the trace of a smile, and that was it.

“How are you this morning?” I asked after a moment and watched as he lifted his shoulder up a little Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

before starting to reply.

“It’s literally like every other day, there’s no difference from the other days and this one.” He replied

flatly with a little huff which I found adorable, but wouldn’t dare tell him about that, to avoid him from

going back to being all tense around me.

I watched as he suddenly started to stare at me pointedly, his forehead tightening up in concentration

for a few seconds. I glanced behind me for a second before turning back around to stare at him.

“What is it?” I asked and watched as he blinked once, and it looked like he had been staring at me in a

kind of weird way for a moment.

“Do I have something on my face?” I asked when he didn’t supply any kind of reply, and that was when

the small haze that had fallen over his eyes seemed to clear off, because he was shaking his head in

the next second.

“No, no. There’s nothing on your face, ma’am.” He replied, and I felt my mouth twisting in displeasure

because he had used the word ‘ma’am’ this time.

“Are you sure? It felt like you noticed something on me or something…” I trailed off at the end of my

sentence and shrugged a little.

“No, no. That was just nothing, I got lost in my thoughts back then, I suddenly remembered something I

had been trying to remember for a while now.” He replied and I gave a small nod of my head, still

feeling a little bit unsure, even though his response had been pretty logical.

He talked about wanting to go complete his checkup around the house and I continued to make my

way into the sitting room.

I flopped down onto one of the couches, the skirt I had on bounced a little on my thighs. The sitting

room was currently a little but chilled and the temperature was just perfect at this moment. I pulled in

tne chilled air into my lungs, throwing my head against the back of the couch as I breathed out slowly. I

was currently in a sleeveless top at the moment and the air around here was making a little bit of

goosebumps appear on my skin.

I wasn’t in the mood for some television and I still needed to watch some more tutorials on YouTube,

and so I started to scroll through YouTube, looking for the perfect video which was going to help with

what I currently needed.

I was already some minutes into the first video I had decided to watch today when Matilda started to

make her presence here in the sitting room known by starting to speak loudly. I rolled my eyes a little

as I paused the video and turned my head around to stare at Matilda.

I watched as she paused in what she was saying and stared wide eyed at me, her mouth falling open in

the next second.

I started to feel uneasy the next moment, moving a little in my spot on the couch.

“What is it?” I demanded as she started to make her way towards me.

“What’s this huge bruise beside your throat?” She whispered in a low voice and I blinked at her slowly,

before my mouth fell open in the next second. I lifted my hand and slapped it against the side of my

throat as realization started to dawn on me.

The hickey from last night… the damn bite to the side of my neck…

Wait a second…

That was probably what Ryan had noticed at the side of my neck back there in the hallway…

Oh my gosh… can the ground open up this instant and swallow me up?
