"What the fuck is going on here?" A voice shouted.

I turned to see Luca standing, He looked really angry. Me and James were standing close with his hands on my shoulder and I tried wiggling out of his grip and pushing his chest but he didn't budge at all.

Luca came towards us and shouted "Who the hell is this Anastasia?, You" he turned towards James and said "Take your hands off my fiancé before I remove them of permanently." he said coldly.

James slowly moved his hands away from my shoulder and scoffed "Fiancé? She is my girlfriend." he said making me widen my eyes.

"Girlfriend?? Last time I checked I wasn't anyone's girlfriend." I told him.

James looked at me threateningly and said "Ana, I love you. You are mine and no one can take you away from me, no one." He got hold of my wrist and twisted it, I was sure it was going to form a bruise. Seeing this Luca lost his control and immediately threw a fist at him making James fall on the floor.

Luca pulled out his gun and aimed it at James and said "How dare you put your filthy hands on her you stronzo!" (Fucker)

"Luca, please don't" I said. Even though seeing someone getting killed was not new for me, I asked him to stop as he is my friend, actually was my friend.

 "She is mine and mine only, get it inside your head." James now looked damn scared, I had never seen him like this.

"Riccardo, Porta via questo stronzo, mi occuperò di lui più tardi." Luca said to Riccardo who was standing behind Luca. (Take this fucker away, I will deal with him later)

Riccardo took him away by force while James kept screaming out that he will have me. I stood there shocked not knowing what to say. Luca noticed this and came towards me.

"Are you okay tesoro?" he asked gently cupping my cheek. I was surprised minute ago he was blazing with anger and now he was calm looking at me.

"Yea am fine Luca, Don't worry." I said and without realizing myself I hugged him tightly. A few mins later, I came to my senses, I gasped and moved away. "Sorry" I said.  But Luca was not very pleased of my action as he pulled me back into his chest. 

"Don't move away tesoro, I like it" he said causing me to blush. After 5 mins of me hugging him, I pulled away much to his dismay. I felt safe with him for some reason and wanted to stay like that forever. 

"Anastasia who was that stronzo who put his hands on you?" Luca asked.

"Uhh He is James Luca, my brother's best friend and was also a friend of mine. I never knew he had feelings for me until now, even if he would have told me about it earlier.. I wouldn't have reciprocated it anyway as I see him like a brother. I just don't know how Elijah is going to react to this." I said and sighed.

"I understand and its fine, I will take care of him." he said. I wanted to tell Luca not to kill him but before I could he got a glimpse of my wrist which was bruised because of James.

"Anastasia, Your wrist is bruised let me call a doctor." He said. "I am fine Luca, I will just put some Ice on it and bandage it, don't worry" I replied. 

"Are you sure? I can call a doctor now tesoro." He said.  I loved how he cared for me and I started thinking that it was good choice for giving him a chance. But was I wrong?

"You know what I will go put ice and bandage it now itself." I said and went to get some ice and bandages for the bruise leaving Luca in the living area.

When I came back after bandaging my hand, I saw Elijah and Luca talking, probably about James I thought. Elijah noticed that I came and turned his attention to my bandaged hand. He came towards me and said "Ana, are you okay? Did James do this to you?" he asked.

"I am fine Eli and Yes James did this to me." I said. 

Elijah looked hurt to hear it, he couldn't believe that his best friend who he trusted with his life hurt his own sister. He had learned from Luca, that James had feelings for Ana since the beginning and couldn't digest the fact that she was getting married to someone else now. Elijah was shocked to hear this as James had never expressed any of this to him, he felt betrayed.

"Where is he now?" Elijah asked Luca. "He is in my ware house." Luca replied. "Don't kill him." Elijah said and which even I wanted to say.

"Don't tell me what to do. He touched what's mine and he will pay for it." Luca sneered.

 "Take care tesoro. I will take my leave now." he said.

 "But Lu.." before I could complete he went off through the front door leaving me astonished.

After this Elijah informed me that he wanted to be alone and went to his room while I did the same wondering why Luca went off abruptly and why he snapped at Elijah. I was upset on Luca for leaving and for snapping at Elijah. I just hoped they would get along in the future. I internally sighed thinking about all the events that occurred today.

--------------------------------------------------------

I woke up from my bed and realized that I fell asleep. I looked at the clock to find that it was almost Dinner time. I quickly got up washed my face and went down. I saw Dad and Elijah at the table talking as I entered the room all eyes fell on me and my dad spoke.

"How is your wrist now Princess? I heard what happened." he asked noticing my bandage

"Its fine dad just a little bit sore." I said convincing him. "I never got a chance to talk about this to you, but I am really sorry for asking you to marry Luca.... I had to hope you understand." he said.

"Its fine dad, I know this would happen one day or the other. We were born into it. Don't stress anymore thinking about this. I am fine and I am not upset with you." I replied to which he smiled.

"I have arranged a party at one of our clubs in celebration of your engagement. You have to be there don't forget princess and Luca will also be there." he said to which I nodded and we continued to eat dinner. Engagement party already! Never knew this day would come..

Luca was burning with rage as he sat in his temporary office in New York. The days events were not soo peaceful at all for him. He was really angry that someone touched what was his and even had the guts to hurt what was his. He wanted to be beside his tesoro but couldn't as he didn't want her to see this side of him. 

The Don of the Italian Mafia was afraid.. The word felt soo foreign to him. He was afraid that she wouldn't be with him and would refuse to love him. If she ever saw him like that. He was a monster to everyone but for her he was just Luca not the Don.

He tried his best to control his anger when that bastardo laid his hands on her and left him with a broken nose but god knows what he would have done if she wasn't there and he felt his anger fade away when he held Anastasia but he lost it when her brother asked him to not kill that figlio de puttana. He didn't want to do anything to her brother so he decided to leave immediately. It wasn't his intention to just cut off her and leave but he had to.

Luca was also excited as it was their engagement party at a club tomorrow. All the mafia members will be present there, The English Mafia as well as the Italian Mafia. Just a few more days till she becomes his officially he thought. By now he was exhausted thinking about all of this, he really wanted to let some steam off so he walked out of his office and headed towards his warehouse to pay a visit to James.
