Forbidden Desires

Chapter Twenty Eight

Amara's POV

How long has it been since I've been taken out of the mafia? A year.

One whole year where my father has forbid me from partaking in any of the mafia business. So now I'm just daddy's little princess. Shopping, and literally doing nothing.

This has been the worst year of my life. Do I wonder how Luca's doing? Sometimes. After about a month or so I finally forgave the group and also because they told me my father ordered them, which I knew, if they disobeyed, each of them would be killed.

Did it hurt while I laid in my bed all day? Yes. I felt something for Luca, but as this year went on, those feelings faded away, and I was back on my feet again, no longer spending all those hours in bed.

"Good morning." Mason said to me as I walked into the kitchen. "You're up early."

All of us grew up together, our fathers were semi friends because theirs were apart of the council. So they lived in the house with me. We knew each other since forever but I couldn't help but groan as they were always around me, constantly picking on me and bothering me.

"Morning." I said back, "Just going for a morning run."

"Not so fast young lady, you know the rules, someone must go with you." He told me, walking up to me where I tied my shoelaces.

"Come on, it's been a year. I'll be fine." I got up, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge and walked towards the front door.

"Nope, I'm coming with you." He said, walking out of the house with me.

I didn't wait up for him as I started to jog, making my way out of the gate that surrounded the house.

"I was wondering, tonight the boys and I are going to the new club that just opened down in the city." Mason started, catching up to me quickly with his long strides.

"If you wanted to come too, that would be nice." He said, muttering the last part to me.

I shrugged, turning the corner and running down the side walk there. "Sure, why not."

He smiled, "Great, It would be good to have you there."

"Come on Amara!" Derek pounded on my door, making me jump from the spot on my bed.

I quickly made up an excuse for why I wasn't ready, "I don't know what to wear." I lied.

"Jesus Amara." Derek said, opening the door now and looking at my state.

"You haven't even tried." He said, running his hand over his face. He was dressed in a black button up with his black pants, the first two buttons of his shirt were open, revealing his smooth chest.

Currently, I was in my pajamas, not even close to being ready, for I wasn't watching the time.

"Cmon, let's see what you have." He said to me, going towards my closet and searching through it.

He grabbed something and threw it at me, "Wear this." He said, shutting the door behind him as he left.

I groaned and put on the dress, surprised that he actually picked something nice for me. I quickly ran over to my vanity and applied some makeup, thankful for the practice I had in Australia.

I brushed my hair and grabbed a pair of high heels, running out the door and towards where the group awaited me on the couch.

"Took you long enough." Alec said, all of them getting up from their spots.

They were all dressed the same, all black. Which didn't surprise me.

"Wow Amara." Mason said, "You look beautiful." The rest of the boys pushed past him on their way out the door.

He extended his hand toward me and I took it, he kissed the top of it and smiled, leading me out the door.

An SUV waited us outside and Mason helped me get in, sitting beside me as we drove away.

I looked out the window, watching the city lights move past. All I knew is that tonight was gonna be a long night and a night I finally let go of Luca Peretti.

A/N- I won't be posting as much as I normally do today, another chapter might be up soon or later on. Sorry for the delay!
