Sold to the Mafia

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

Luca’s POV 

“Marco the shipment is coming in at 3:00am get the guys on it” I say 

“Sure thing boss” Marco replies 

Knock knock 

“Marco I gotta go” I say hanging up the phone. 

“Come in” 

“Mr. Rossi I have given Mrs. Rossi some fluids and medications to help with the nausea. I have collected some blood and urine samples that I will have run in the lab. I’ll be in touch with the results. For now, she is resting, when she wakes hopefully, she will feel like eating something.”  

“Thank you Doc, send me the bill when your done with all the labs. I appreciate you coming out so quickly.” 

“Of course Sir” Dr. Moretti replies as he shows himself out. 

I spend a couple hours finishing up some work before I decide to go check on Aria. When I walk into her room she's still sleeping. She looks so I'll, I hope its nothing serious. She is pale, her hair is dull and she has bags under her eyes. I sit down on the sofa getting some emails delt with on my phone while I wait for her to wake up. 

Aria’s POV 

I wake up to see it’s just past 7:00pm, wow I slept the day off but I feel a bit better. I sit up in the bed a little bit and notice Luca asleep on the sofa. Why is he in here? 

“Luca” 

“Luca” 

“LUCA” 

“What! Oh Aria are you ok?” 

“Yea I was just wondering what you were doing in here” 

“Oh, I uh came to check on you but you were sleeping. I sat down to answer some emails but must have dozed off.” 

“Oh” I reply 

“Are you hungry?” He asks 

“A little” I reply 

“Heidi prepared some things and left them in the fridge. There’s soups and such I can bring you some” He offers. Wow is he feeling ok? He hasn’t been this nice since I met him. 

“Some soup would be nice, anything is fine thanks” 

“Sure, I’ll be back” He replies as he leaves the room. 

Luca’s POV 

I’m glad she feels like eating hopefully it will settle well. Seeing her lying in the bed so unwell really bothered me. I think I'm falling for her, which I never expected. I want to be able to have a happy healthy relationship with her maybe this can be the start of that. Maybe I’ll try talking to her. I pull out the travel tray and place her bowl of tomato soup with a spoon some crackers juice and water. Plus some toast and butter just in case she wants that. I like toast or grilled cheese with my tomato soup but I figured a grilled cheese might be too much right now. Once everything is on the tray, I head back up to find Aria changing into a new nightgown. 

“Uh sorry I didn’t realize you would be out of bed” 

“That’s ok. I just wanted something clean on” She says getting back into bed. 

“Here let me help you” I say putting the tray down and helping her into bed. Once she is settled, I turn around grabbing her tray and placed it over her lap. 

“Thank you Luca” She says with a smile that warms my heart. 

“Anything for you wife” I reply smiling. 

“Hey uh Aria...can we talk?” 

“Uh sure” she says as she questers for me to sit. I sit down on the bed trying to figure out how to say what I need to say. 

“Luca? Uh are you ok?” Aria asks 

“Yea sorry....I.. I’m just not sure how to word what I want to say. I guess I’ll just say it. I want to start fresh, I’m sorry for hurting you. I regret it every day, and I promise I'll never do it again. I want to make you happy.” Theres a long pause and from the look on her face she’s shocked from what she just heard. 

“Aria?” 

“Oh sorry, just processing.....I appreciate the apology but I can’t just forget what you did.” 

“I know, I don’t expect you too but I hope you can eventually forgive me. I want to be a good husband and give you a good life.” 

“I would like that, I would like to not feel like a prisoner. Maybe over time you can earn my trust and forgiveness.” 

“Thank you Aria! I won't let you down.” I reply with the biggest smile. “I’ll take your tray and let you get some rest.” 

“Thank you” 

Aria’s POV 

I wake up the next morning feeling pretty good, maybe I can get up and actually shower. I sit up in the bed some and notice Luca is sleeping on my couch again. I sit there watching him. He’s very handsome, he looks so cute sleeping. I think back to our conversation last night I really hope he means what he said. Since I’m stuck here for the rest of my life it would be nice if it didn’t suck.  

“Hey your awake” Luca says as he sits up and stretches. 

“And you slept on my couch again” I chuckle 

“I just wanted to be close by incase you needed anything.” He says 

I don’t respond I just smile. 

“Hey what time will Heidi be here?” I ask 

“It’s Saturday so she won’t be in.” 

“Oh, ok” 

“Why what’s wrong?” 

“Nothing, I just wanted her help with something but that’s ok I’ll manage.” 

“I can help you, what do you need?” 

“Oh no that’s ok I can manage on my own.” 

“Aria, please just let me help you” 

“I...I just wanted to take a shower, but...but I feel pretty weak.” I say shyly 

“Oh....well I can help you with that. I am your husband after all.” He says getting up holding out his hand for me to take. I reluctantly take his hand and let him help me into my bathroom.  

Luca’s POV 

I help Aria into the bathroom and sit her down on the toilet. I get the bathtub ready so Aria doesn’t have to stand in the shower. I pour some bubble bath in and help her undress while the tub fills. I take in her beautiful body. Her prefect curves, her long dark hair. God I’m a luck man. I try not to make it obvious I'm staring so I don’t make her feel uncomfortable. I help her sit in the bath and start washing her arms and back with the bath sponge. After I finish washing her body, I turn the sprayer on to wash her hair. After I finished washing her I grabbed a towel and helped her out. 

“Uh thanks...for helping me” she says clearly feeling awkward 

“Your welcome, I meant what I said Aria. I want to be a good husband” I said with a smile, that she returned. I grab her nightgown helping her slip it on. Just then my phone rings. 

“Hello” 

‘Mr. Rossi is Dr. Moretti, I have Mrs. Rossi’s lab work back.’ 

“Great let me put you on speaker phone. Aria is here also.” 

Aria’s POV 

I can’t even begin to describe the things I felt in the bath. Luca washing me felt so sensual, so right. It felt amazing having him care for me. I saw a different side of him, a caring side. Maybe he could be a good husband, maybe this could work and we could be happy. Luca’s phone rings bringing me out of my thoughts. 

“Hello” 

“Great let me put you on speaker phone, Aris is here also” Luca says as he places his phone down on the bed so we both can here. 

“Go ahead Dr.” 

“So as I was saying I have the lab work back. I’m happy to report there is nothing serious that has led to your symptoms. Mrs. Rossi, your pregnant. Congratulations”
