l”ll end this right here,” Sophia said, her voice firm and determined as she stared down Vito.
Vito’s expression hardened, his eyes flashing with anger and defiance as he regarded Sophia.
“You wouldn’t dare,” he said, his voice low and dangerous as he tightened his grip on the advisor’s throat.
Sophia took a step closer, her hand steady as she held her weapon to Vito’s head.
“Try me,” she said, her voice low and dangerous as she met Vito’s gaze.
For a moment, the two of them stood in silence, their eyes locked in a battle of wills as the tension in the room mounted.
And then, without warning, Vito released his grip on the advisor, his expression twisted with anger and frustration as he glared at Sophia.
“You’ve won this round,” he spat, his voice filled with hatred as he backed away from Sophia and the advisor.
Sophia remained calm, her weapon still trained on Vito as she watched him back away.
As Sophia stood with her weapon trained on Vito, Luca moved closer to her, his voice low and calm as he spoke.
“That’s enough,” he said, his hand reaching out to touch Sophia’s shoulder. “Let him go.”
Sophia hesitated, her eyes still locked on Vito as she considered Luca’s words.
“He can’t get away with this,” she said, her voice tight and determined.
But Luca shook his head, his expression grave and serious as he spoke.
“You can’t kill him in cold blood,” Luca said, his voice low and serious as he looked at Sophia.
“I know you want justice,” he continued, his hand still on Sophia’s shoulder as he spoke. “But this isn’t the way.”
Sophia sighed, her expression conflicted as she considered his words.
“He deserves to be punished,” she said, her voice filled with anger and frustration.
But Luca shook his head, his voice firm and determined as he spoke.
“Let the Don decide his fate,” Luca said, his voice steady and even as he continued to regard Sophia.
“We can’t take justice into our own hands,” he continued, his hand still on Sophia’s shoulder as he spoke. “We have to let the Don decide what happens next.”
Sophia sighed, her expression still conflicted as she lowered her weapon and nodded.
“You’re right,” she said, her voice tight and serious as she regarded Luca.
“I know this isn’t easy,” Luca said, his voice soft and sympathetic as he continued to regard Sophia.
“But we have to do what’s best for the family,” he added, his hand still on Sophia’s shoulder as he spoke.
Sophia nodded, her expression still serious as she regarded Luca.
“I understand,” she said, her voice steady and determined as she looked at him.
Luca smiled, his expression warm and supportive as he wrapped his arms around Sophia, pulling her close.
As Luca held Sophia close, the tension in the room began to dissipate, the danger of the moment fading as they stood together.
“I’m proud of you,” he whispered, his voice soft and gentle as he continued to hold her.
Sophia smiled, her eyes closed as she leaned against him.
“I’m glad you’re here,” she said, her voice filled with emotion as she spoke.
Luca smiled back, his expression warm and loving as he gazed at Sophia, his fingers gently brushing her hair.
The two of them stood together for a long moment, their bodies pressed together as they basked in the warmth of their love.
“I’ll always be here for you,” Luca whispered, his voice filled with emotion as he held Sophia close.
Sophia smiled, her eyes filled with love as she looked at him.
“I know,” she whispered back, her lips brushing against his neck as she spoke.
Luca shivered, his body tingling as Sophia’s lips moved across his skin.
Luca’s hand moved to Sophia’s waist, his fingers tracing the curve of her body as he held her close.
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, his voice filled with desire as he gazed into her eyes.
Sophia smiled, her lips curling into a seductive smile as she leaned in to kiss Luca.
Their lips met in a passionate embrace, their bodies moving together in a slow, sensual rhythm as they lost themselves in the moment.
As they kissed, Luca’s hands explored Sophia’s body, his fingers tracing her curves as he pulled her closer.
Sophia responded with her own touch, her hands moving across Luca’s chest and shoulders as she moaned softly against his lips.
The two of them were lost in their passion, their bodies moving together as they gave in to their desire.
And then, without warning, they heard footsteps approaching, their eyes opening in surprise as they pulled apart.
Sophia and Luca turned, their eyes widening in shock as they recognized the figure standing in the doorway.
It was the Don, his expression hard and unreadable as he regarded them.
Sophia’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing as she tried to think of an explanation.
But the Don only smiled, his expression warm and understanding as he regarded them.
“It’s good to see you both so close,” he said, his voice low and even as he regarded them.
Sophia and Luca looked at each other, their expressions uncertain as they tried to understand the Don’s words.
“”We’re just friends,” Luca said, his voice calm and even as he looked at the Don.
The Don smiled, his expression still warm and understanding as he regarded them.
“Of course you are,” he said, his voice filled with humor as he spoke.
Sophia blushed, her cheeks flushing red as she looked at Luca.
“We’re just friends,” she repeated, her voice shaking slightly as she spoke.
The Don laughed, his laughter filling the room as he regarded them.
The Don’s laughter subsided, his expression becoming more serious as he regarded them.
“I know that you both love each other,” he said, his voice low and even as he continued. “But you must remember your loyalty to the family.”
Luca and Sophia nodded, their expressions serious and respectful as they listened to the Don.
“We understand,” Luca said, his voice filled with determination as he looked at the Don.
“We’ll always put the family first,” Sophia added, her eyes meeting the Don’s as she spoke
“Good,” the Don said, his expression still serious as he nodded at them.
“Now, I have a task for you,” he continued, his voice still low and even as he spoke.
Luca and Sophia looked at each other, their expressions serious and determined as they listened to the Don.
“What do you need us to do?” Sophia asked, her voice filled with curiosity and excitement as she regarded him.
The Don smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he regarded them.
