Luca’s face fell, his expression grave and serious as he considered her words.
“I understand,” he said, his voice soft and gentle as he placed a hand on her cheek.
“But I will always be by your side,” he continued, his eyes meeting hers as he spoke. “I will always love you, no matter what.”
Sophia nodded, her expression serious and determined as she spoke.
“I love you too,” she said, her voice filled with emotion as she leaned in to kiss him.
As their lips met in the flickering candlelight, Sophia and Luca lost themselves in each other, their emotions spilling over as they gave in to their love.
As they kissed, the world around them seemed to fade away, the darkness of their lives replaced by the light of their love.
And as the hours passed, they clung to each other, their bodies pressed together as they gave in to their passion.
Finally, as the night turned to dawn, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, their hearts beating as one as they drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
As the sun rose over the city, Sophia and Luca stirred from their slumber, their eyes opening slowly as they looked at one another.
Sophia smiled, her expression radiant and peaceful as she placed a hand on Luca’s cheek.
“I don’t want this to end,” she whispered, her voice filled with emotion as she regarded him.
Luca smiled back, his expression filled with love and contentment as he replied.
“It doesn’t have to,” he said, his voice soft and gentle as he pulled her close.
As the day progressed, Sophia and Luca found themselves falling deeper in love, their passion and devotion growing stronger with each passing moment.
They spent the day together, their laughter filling the air as they explored the city hand in hand.
As Sophia and Luca entered the mansion, their hearts were still filled with the joy and passion of their day together.
But as they walked through the halls, they noticed a strange tension in the air, a feeling of unease that sent a chill down their spines.
As they rounded a corner, they were met with the sight of Vito, his face twisted in anger as he shouted at one of the family’s most trusted advisors.
Sophia’s eyes narrowed, her suspicion growing as she regarded the scene, her hand moving to her weapon as she prepared for the worst.
As Sophia and Luca watched, Vito became increasingly agitated, his voice rising in anger as he continued to argue with the advisor.
“You will pay for this,” he shouted, his fists clenched as he advanced on the advisor.
Sophia tensed, her hand still on her weapon as she prepared to intervene.
But before she could act, Vito lunged at the advisor, his hands wrapped around the man’s throat as he began to strangle him.
“Stop!” Sophia shouted, her voice echoing through the hall as she rushed forward.
Sophia reached Vito in seconds, her hand gripping her weapon as she prepared to strike.
But Vito was too strong, his grip on the advisor’s throat tightening as he laughed maniacally.
“You’re too late,” he said, his eyes wild and dangerous as he regarded Sophia. “I know your secret.”
Sophia’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing as she tried to understand what Vito meant.
“What secret?” she demanded, her voice low and dangerous as she regarded him.
“You are not who you say you are,” Vito hissed, his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he continued to strangle the advisor.
Sophia’s mind raced, her thoughts spinning as she tried to understand what Vito knew.
“What are you talking about?” she demanded, her voice rising in anger as she stepped closer.
Vito laughed, his expression filled with triumph as he regarded Sophia.
“I know your real identity,” he said, his voice dripping with malice. “You are not who you claim to be.”
Sophia’s mind reeled as she tried to understand Vito’s words, her mind racing as she searched for a response.
“You’re wrong,” she said, her voice firm and determined as she regarded Vito. “I am exactly who I say I am.”
But Vito only laughed, his eyes flashing with malice as he continued to strangle the advisor.
“I have proof,” he said, his voice low and dangerous as he regarded Sophia.
“And when I reveal it, the Don will have no choice but to punish you.”
Sophia regarded Vito with skepticism, her mind racing as she tried to understand his motives.
“You’re bluffing,” she said, her voice filled with contempt as she regarded him.
But Vito only laughed, his expression twisted with malice as he continued to strangle the advisor.
“You’ll see,” he said, his voice low and dangerous as he pulled the advisor’s limp body closer to him.
“When the Don finds out the truth, you’ll be punished for your deception.”
As Vito continued to taunt her, Sophia’s anger and frustration grew, her hand tightening on her weapon as she considered her options.
But before she could act, the advisor suddenly awoke, his eyes widening in fear as he struggled against Vito’s grip.
Vito cursed, his expression twisted with rage as he turned his attention back to the advisor.
“You’ll pay for this,” he hissed, his hand tightening around the advisor’s throat.
But the advisor only smiled, his eyes flashing with defiance as he met Vito’s gaze.
“You’ll never find the evidence you need,” the advisor said, his voice weak but determined as he struggled against Vito’s grip.
Vito’s expression darkened, his eyes filled with rage and determination as he squeezed the advisor’s throat tighter.
“I’ll find it,” he growled, his voice filled with anger and frustration. “And when I do, you’ll be the first to pay.”
But the advisor only smiled, his eyes flashing with defiance as he continued to stare at Vito.
“Good luck,” he said, his voice hoarse but filled with determination.
As Vito tightened his grip on the advisor’s throat, Sophia knew that she had to act quickly if she wanted to save the man’s life.
“Let him go,” she said, her voice hard and dangerous as she leveled her weapon at Vito.
Vito hesitated, his eyes darting between Sophia and the advisor as he considered his options.
“Or what?” he sneered, his expression twisted with malice as he tightened his grip on the advisor’s throat.
Sophia’s eyes narrowed, her expression grave and serious as she aimed her weapon at Vito’s head.
