I woke up to the sound of Luca groaning and yawning.

"Morning bitch." I said, in a tired voice.

"I've got some stuff to handle today baby. I got snacks for you up here, I suggest you don't go downstairs if you don't wanna scare yourself, just in case someone is down there. Here's your gun and knives baby."

He handed me the golden gun which felt heavier in my hands. 

The knife had my initials engraved in it.

"I love you baby, please stay safe for me. When I come back, we can cook, and watch a movie."

With that he got dressed and left. I was now left alone in my boredom.

Lucas pov
I had to go meet with my siblings and my father to see where we would go with this.

Astrids father was being kept alive, but still not budging.

I got into my Audi and sped off, astrid being the only thing on my mind.

I'm so fucking glad she's happy now. I'd give an arm and a leg to see her beautiful smile.

We've been through so, so much. When I first saw her in the kitchen with a knife trying to cut herself, I panicked. I didn't realize how miserable it was making her.

The second time, she was in my cabinet, trying to overdose on xans. I had to take her to get her stomach pumped.

The third time was at dinner, she broke a plate and tried to cut herself.

Plastic plates where the solution.

I couldn't let her leave me. Call me selfish or whatever the fuck you want, you don't let someone you love leave, you do everything in your power to protect them.

And that's what I did.

I pulled up to nikolai's house for the meeting. Everyone was already seated at the table, waiting for me.

"How's Astrid?" Was the first thing Olivia asked.

"She's doing great, walking like she used to. I just wanna take it easy on her."

"I'm surprised you stayed. I wouldn't wanna fucking deal with that shit." My father said, blowing smoke out from his cigar.

My teeth gritted.

"Well maybe if you actually loved someone in your stupid ass life, you would know how it feels to wanna take care of someone." I fired back.

"Okay, shut the fuck up for now. What's the update on Astrids father?" Nikolai asked.

"He's told us nothing so far, nothing besides the fact that he tried to kill Luca so Astrid could take over, and give them a percentage of the money." Olivia said.

"That's a lot of fucking information Olivia!" My father said.

"Well, we need more. Astrid cant spend her whole damn life being afraid. She almost died Luca, she lost her baby. She was paralyzed. I don't think she's gonna be all into the mafia if she's taking a risk of that happening again." Olivia said.

"That just means we have to work harder. We have to train her harder." Nikolai said.

"Give her some time. It's more harm than good to force her back in immediately." I said.

"So did anybody find out where Marco and Erica are?" Olivia asked.

"We found information on them in Canada. Let them breathe and have their baby, I trust Marco." Nikolai said.

"When are you taking back over?" My father asked.

"When I come back from the island. I need to get my mind straight."

"How the fuck are we gonna deal with the Russians? They're gonna want blood. The people they want are basically dead, we can't risk astrid getting hurt again." Olivia said.

"When they strike, we strike harder."

"Are we still having igor ball?" Nikolai asked.

"It's still planned. We need extra protection." My father said.

We ended the meeting a few hours later. I was on my way home when I got a call from astrid.

"Hey baby"

"Could you pick up Chinese food and get me a strawberry lemonade?" She asked.

"Anything you want."

I'm just glad she was back eating.

Astrids pov.
I attempted to make something in the kitchen, but it just wasn't working out, so I just called Luca.

I turned the TV onto a scary movie and smothered myself with thick blankets.

I heard the door open with a code, and had a flash of anxiety until I realized it was Luca.

I got up and wrapped him into a hug.

"Damn, I didn't know u missed me that much." He chuckled.

"You know I'm attached to you bitch." I said.

"What'd you do all day?"

"Tried to cook, failed miserably, waited for you."

"Well, I'll be here tomorrow, we can cook and do anything you want. Anything." He said, whispering the last part.

We ate with tension stirring all around the room.

"I'm gonna go take a shower." I said, dismissing myself from the living room.

I felt his footsteps trailing behind me.

I got into the bathroom, and turned the water onto the highest setting.

I wanna burn

I took my twisted hair and put it into a bonnet, not trying to ruin hours of work.

Luca came in soon after and joined me, facing the other way over the shower.

Imma fuck with him.

"You wanna know something else I did today?"

"Enlighten me."

"I touched myself today, since somebody else wouldn't do it." I smirked.

Hopefully he remembers the rules he gave me

I looked at him to find him facing me with an angry tint to his face.

"What did I tell you about that shit." He said, pinning me to the shower wall.

"I like breaking rules, it's fun." I said with a grin.

"This isn't gonna be fun for you, I could promise that."

He pulled me out of the shower, and threw me onto the bed, still wet.

"Luca, your getting the bed all fucking wet"

"I think I'm getting something else wet."

Luca plunged his hand onto my pussy, and rubbed slightly.

What I craved so much, was finally back.
