Clara

"Clara are you done packing?" Luca yelled.

"Yes," I replied.

"We are leaving at 2:00 pm it's 1:30 pm. We need to get going," Luca came into the room and stared at me as I was closing my suitcase. "Did you take your medicine today morning?"

"Yes,"

"Have you packed them?"

"Yes Luca I have. Don't worry," I told him. I took my purse that was on the couch, Luca took the suitcase and dragged it. We headed towards the elevator, Henry stood by the elevator, he helped Luca with the suitcase.

"Sir your aunt left early this morning with your sister. I have been told to inform you by your father that you will be traveling with him," Henry spoke. I looked at Luca whose facial expression suddenly changed, showing clear annoyance and how mad he is.

"Why?" He asked in a husky tone.

"He didn't tell me the reason Sir," Henry replied. I held Luca's hand, I noticed his narrowed - furious eyes. Anger was taking over.

"Lucas," I said his name. He didn't reply, he stared blankly ahead. Luca walked holding my hand and we got in the elevator.

The car ride to the airport was silent. As soon as we reached the airport, Luca got out of the car - slammed the car door and walked towards the jet. I followed him. As soon as I get in the private jet. I notice a man wearing a black polo shirt with dark blue jeans, probably in his late 50s - with a grey-black beard and piercing blue eyes just like Luca's. He is in great shape too, he has muscles.

Luca's dad was looking at me. Observing me. Luca stood in silence - watching his fathers movements. Luca's father walked up to me.
"Fernando," he said and gave out his hand for a handshake.

"Clara," I replied. I look at Lucas who stared at his father as if he wants to kill him. I shook his hand and after that he kissed my hand.

"You are very beautiful Miss Clara. I see why my son has abandoned his "work" and father. You are simply an angel," he said in a modulating tone.

"I had no idea the devil could see angles," I said to him - I dared to stare at into his eyes, I dared to speak out. Luca looked at me - curiously.

"If my son can see one..." he said.

"Lucas is nothing like you! You are pure evil and inhuman," I said in disgust - cutting him off.

"Hah my son?" he turned to look at Lucas. "Let me ask you a question Miss Clara - If the father is the devil, what makes the son?" He continued to laugh in a wicked way.

"He's not worth your time Clara," Luca said. As I was walking pass Luca's dad, he stood in my way.

"Don't be fooled, love. The devil doesn't come to you with a red face and horns, he comes to you in everything you've ever wanted," he said and turned to look at Luca.

"ENOUGH!" Luca yelled. Luca made his way towards me and grabbed my hand and made me sit next to him. Luca's dad sat a distance from us. I can't believe I am in the same place as the person behind Ava's death and I can't do anything about it. He placed a gun on the table and looked at me - he smirked. Ugh!

Luca sat in silence, mad. Angered by his fathers presence and speech. I held his hand and didn't let go. I laid my head on his shoulder and rested. I eventually fall asleep...

I woke up, laying on the couch,  a blanket was placed on me. I heard a soft whisper. "She doesn't know does she?"

I slowly got up and Luca walked up to me. He kissed me on the forehead and sat next to him. "We are almost there?" He said and kissed my hand.

I looked at his father who was busy on his laptop - typing. I hugged Luca. What could Luca be hiding from me?

We reached Spain and the jet landed. As we got out, the sun shone on my face making me squint my eyes. A limo had been waiting - along with five jeeps, man wearing black suits were standing aside the cars. We got in the limo. Spain is honestly really lovely - the beautiful landscapes and statuettes, it was all breath taking. The clear blue - sparkling waters and the breeze, it's just amazing.

The limo entered through a gate, drove on a path way. They were many trees and beautiful flowers, aligned as if to welcome us. The car stopped in front of a huge mansion, it looked very old and with a castle like facade. It's made out of stones, it has larger pilers and beautiful stained glass windows.

We got out of the car and climbed up the stoney staircases. The huge wooden doors opened, and the maids came out and walked passed us. I slowly walked in trying to slowly take it in. As we walked in the first thing that caught my eyes were the beautiful chandeliers and than the furniture.

Luca's aunt came down the staircase, wearing a fitting black dress. And another girl who also came down with her... Luca's sister.

"Welcome," she said - as she took her last step down the wooden stairs. Luca went to greet her, and than he hugged her sister. Luca's father started talking with Amelia in Spanish. I stood from a distance just heeding. Luca's sister walked up to me and hugged me.

"It's so nice to finally meet you," she said. "My name is Vanessa."

"It's nice to meet you too," I said, with a smile on my face.

"Clara make yourself at home," Luca said. He walked away with his father and aunt. Vanessa lead me up the stairs. They were so many paintings, and antique things. These place is huge and just lovely.

"Lucas has told me a lot about you," Vanessa said.

"I hope all good," I said to her.

"Hah yes. So you live in New York?" She asked me.

"Yes I moved to New York four years ago, I was raised in California," I explained.

"Oh that's great," she said. She stopped in front of a room and got in. I followed her in. This room is really big everything is huge. I felt like an ant.

"Well you should freshen up and the maid will come and call you for lunch," she said.

"When is the funeral?" I asked.

"It's tomorrow morning," she said and closed the door.

I sat on the bed and took a nap. I am so tired, for some reason though I haven't done a lot - my feet are sore.

Later that day, Lucas had gone MIA* (missing in action) along with his aunt and father. I spent the whole day with Vanessa, she's really funny and nice. I couldn't help explore the garden, it's just so beautiful. It has a lot of various flowers. I noticed an engraving on a tree. K+L=♥️

I asked Vanessa about it and she said it was Luca's ex girlfriend's initial. Kate... "It was a really long time ago. She died in a car crash," she explained. "She was Luca's first love. He swore never to love again than he met you."

I couldn't help it but smile, my heart sinked from the thought of the pain he went though. I am glad I could take it all away. The pain the misery, the loneliness.
I noticed Luca walking in the garden, I rushed toward him and hugged him. He kissed me. "I missed you too princess,"he said and kissed me on the cheek.

"Forever and always,"

"You are mine," he finished the phrase. We held hands as we walked towards the stables. I was amazed with the different types of horses they had, they were beautiful. As I was admiring one of the horses, Luca's gaze caught my attention. I looked at him and his blue orbs just observed me. Shivers went down my spine - as he took a step closer to me, he's eyes meeting mine and than my lips.

He grabbed my waist and carried me, my legs warped around his waist. His lips were on mine - we were kissing - passionately. Gasping for air and craving for more.

*ahem ahem*

I stop kissing Luca when I heard someone clearing their throat, in a small distance stood a guy. I stopped kissing Luca, but he started to kiss my neck. "Luca stop!" He stopped carrying me and kept me down.

"What is it?" He asked irritated - curious. I looked ahead and he turned around.

"Rami?" He said in an excited tone.

"I am sorry for the intrusion," he said as he walked towards Luca. I can't believe it... How long had he been standing there. I couldn't help but shy away when he tried to make eye contact with me. As they continued to talk, I stood behind Luca fixing my dress and quickly fixing my hair.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" He asked. Luca moved aside and our eyes meet. The guy - Rami had dark brown eyes, blonde - brown hair with a smooth face and a charming smile.

"This is my girl friend Clara," Luca said and put his hand on my shoulder.

"You lucky bastard... Why do you always get the beautiful ones?" He said and smiled at me. I couldn't help but blush, all I was thinking of was the incident that happened earlier. I just stood there speechless and shy.

"Hah blame my looks," Luca said proudly.

"Wow you still have the biggest ego..."

"And the biggest co..."

I faked a cough and glared at Luca. He remained quite and it was awkward for a moment until Rami started laughing.

"Haha," Rami laughed uncontrollably - his hand on his stomach. "Clara I think you and I are going to best friends."

"Not a chance," Luca said looked at Rami with a serious face.

"Anyway aunt sent me to look for you. The meeting is about to begin. Everyone has arrived," he told Luca.

Luca kissed me on the forehead and started walking with Rami. Guys being around their friends, do really bring out the worst of them.

I was walking behind them and I notice Rami was holding a gun. Why does he have a gun? I looked around and noticed they were  guards almost everywhere holding guns. My heart started racing, it felt like it was going to jump out my chest. What's going on?
