Chapter 45
- Luca woke up the next morning, he honestly wanted to spend the whole day in bed after the rough week he had. Last week had been one of the hardest weeks of his life, he had to plan and conduct four different funerals, of course, he would have just delegated the duties to his men but he had a rule that no matter how small the person that passes is among his people, he made sure to take care of everything related to the funeral, it was his way of paying respect to the dead and also sending off a loyal teammate, his men were his team and he made sure to come out for them; if he could, he would have made sure none of them dies but that was beyond him, especially with the kind of life they chose. He didn’t hate his ways, he just hated that his people gets taken away. The men who were killed were loyal to him and had been working religiously with him for more than seven years; it broke him to bury them and still have no info about who targeted them. He couldn’t rub off the thought that the bitch he was after had a hand in it but he couldn’t pin it to her. The fact that one woman could cause him to lose so much and still get away with everything made him mad. She was like that enemy that you can’t see but who keeps coming for you; he got more people on her and hoped that soon, she would be found and when he finds her, she was going to suffer a slow painful death at his hands. For now, he needed to keep her thoughts away and focus on another woman who happen to also suffer because of that bitch.
- “Nora Morningstar,”
- He voiced. The reason he couldn’t stay in bed even if that’s what he wanted, she was all his responsibility now, except he employed a new temporary female help or let his men attend to her, he didn’t want either of those so it was his job. He already knew she wouldn’t be easy to deal with. The crazy woman had already given him a hard time last night even though Maria had told him she had been on her best behavior since he left. He concluded that she reserves her bad attitude for him only. Not like he blamed her for being nasty to him, that was all she could do, if he was in her shoes, he would have done worse; while he was away, he had expected Maria to call him to complain about her but each time he calls her to check up on Nora, Maria would have the best things to say about her. He couldn’t even hope she would be nice to him because he knew that wouldn’t happen. He spoke to the doctor two days ago and he said her legs are healing fine and she would be out of cast by the next checkup, then he would have to help her relearn how to walk, he already knew he has a lot of work ahead that’s why aside from that bitch who caused this whole thing in the first place, he delegated the remaining of his projects for the next three month, unless it was very important, he won’t be attending to anything business for the time being.
