Bianchi Estate
Luca's POV
It was 6am when I received a call from my good friend Dimitri Levenski. It had been a while since we had spoken but when we did it was always a pleasure.
"Luca my good friend, it's been to long."
It has been to long thats the problem what does he want.
"It has been to long Dimitri, how have you been doing?"
"Well Luca I'm just going to cut to the chase, your daughter."
What does he want with my precious daughter.
"She is quite the beauty I have been told and my son seems to be quite infatuated by her."
I knew of Dimitri's son and his reputation, if he thinks he is worthy of my daughter he can think again.
"Last summer when we helped you out in NewYork, you said 'how could you repay me' and I said that I would ask a favour of you one day. Well now I call upon it my son wants to marry your daughter."
I think my jaw just hit the ground. How dare he ask me such a thing. That player wants to marry my daughter, the most beautiful girl I have ever known. I can't let this happen.
"Look Dimitri, my daughter is a very special girl to me and I know of your son's reputation. I can't force her to marry him, I'm sorry."
I could the hear the shift in his breath, Dimitri liked to get his own way but this was something I just couldn't allow.
"Luca... We have been friends for a long time now, you don't want to go to war with me"
He was right about that. If I went to war with him it would lead to the loss of many lives and the loss of lots of money.
"Your right, I don't want war but I have to think about my daughter. Why don't you come and stay in Italy for a while and bring your son with you, then we can sort this out properly."
This was going to be the best option, I could meet the son properly and maybe find another solution to this mess.
Ivan's POV
If I was going to marry anybody it would have to be Sofia. She was beautiful, knew about this life and would be loyal. I asked my father to sort out with Luca on a marriage, I didn't want an arranged marriage I just didn't want anybody else to have her.
I knew my father would have spoken to Luca by now so it was just a waiting game now. Waiting for the all important phone call.
I had started to doze off in my office after a restless night thinking about Sofia when my phone started to ring.
"Ivan pack your things we are going to Italy be at the airport in thirty minutes."
And with that he hung up.
SHIT.... Luca wants to see me, Dom will hate me and Giovanni I hate to find what he will do.
Well I best get packing.
Thirty minutes later I was boarding one of the families private jet to go to Italy. I had never been so nervous about a girl before, what is wrong with me.
A Few Hours Later...
I had landed in Italy, my parents were waiting for me at the airport to drive to Luca's house.
"My baby boy, how have you been?"
Mum hadn't changed she still smothered me.
"I'm good thanks, and you are looking more and more beautiful mother."
Mum liked to be showered in compliments and with me being away from home now I tried to make the extra effort.
"Don't be so silly, I'm getting old now anyway you have made the most wonderful decision to bring the two families together".
What did she mean?
I didn't want an arranged marriage I just didn't want anyone else to have Sofia while I got to know her better.
"This isn't an arranged marriage mum."
Mum looked at dad confused, what had he said? If this is an arranged marriage I may as well be a dead man walking, Giovanni would make sure of this.
We arrived at the Luca's villa, it was huge surrounded be vineyards and manicured garden's. I watched as all the men looked on at us as the drove up the mile long drive, my palms were sweaty and my pulse was rising.
I didn't know what to expect.
We all got out of the car and was greeted by Luca's staff who brought in our bags, every step I took to the entrance seemed like impending doom.
Luca came marching over to my father give him a strong hand shake and me a glare of death. If looks could kill I would be dead.
Giovanni came walking down the stairs like a raging bull almost running towards me. Before I could do anything there was a fist in my face and I was laying on the floor with blood streaming down my face.
"Se pensi di sposare mia sorella, puoi ripensarci."
("If you think you are going to marry my sister you can think again". Sorry if its wrong.)
Dominic came running through and grabbed hold of Giovanni. I got up and wiped the blood from my noise.
"I don't want to marry her, well I do it's just I don't want her to go off with anybody else."
"Your calling her a whore now." Giovanni was completely irrational.
"No definitely not, I just want to get to know her better thats all." Surely he can understand that.
Luca defused the situation by inviting me, dad and Dominic to his office to talk about the current situation.
"Look Ivan, I'm sure your intentions are good and well but we all know your reputation and I believe my daughter deserves better than a player."
My dad was about to cut in and defend my side but Luca was right. My whole adult life I had never had a committed relationship, it was a different women every night but I knew I would be different with Sofia.
She was special.
"Look Luca, I know my reputation is not the best but I would never do anything to hurt your daughter, she is special and if you give me chance I will love her forever".
Before we could continue our meeting the office door swung opened followed by Sofia and Giovanni.
