Chapter 26 - SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE

Lucio is in rage. He walks hurriedly to the elevator, not realizing his mother rushing after him. As he wait for the elevator his mother catches up to him.

"Lucio talk to me" his mother begs.

"That man is unbelievable" Lucio blurts out.

"Luci he's still your father. He's just a little rough…"

"A little mother, really? He thinks he owns me. The audacity of that man to tell me who I can and cannot love" Lucio ranted, not realizing what he just confessed to his mother.

"Love" his mother said in disbelief, "You're in love" this time she embraced him in a long overdue hug, tears welling down her face "Oh my gosh I can't believe it! My baby fell in love"

"Mother!" Lucio squirmed.

"I must admit I was worried about you." His mother joked, attempting to lighten up the mood.

"I don't have time for this right now" Lucio said angrily but attempted to lighten up his mood when he saw the hurt expression on his mother's face. He kissed his mother on her cheek, nodded her way then entered the elevator.

His mother watched as the elevator doors closes and her son disappears out of her sight.

A furious Giulia stumps back into her son's office to find her husband staring down at the streets of Italy. She spared no time telling Luca how she feels.

"I didn't come all this way to have you rip my son further away from us. Fix it Luca, FIX IT", she said sternly, pointing her perfectly polished fingernails at her husband. Luca notices the steam coming from his wife's angered face and realized that he's in deep trouble. Nobody can make Luca Avaldi feel inferior the way his wife does.

I am convinced that my father hates me. He's threatened by my happiness. I dedicated my life to his company and now that I've found one tiny piece of happiness he wants to get rid of her.

"This is no time to be falling in love with some meaningless girl", the argument Lucio and his father has keeps replaying over and over in his head. "I will not have some insolent little wrench destroy the foundation I built…" Anger is fuming through Lucio's mind. 'What gives him the right to talk about Mya like that' he thought to himself.

Lucio finally gets to his mansion.

"Keep the car running, I won't be long" he told his driver before rushing out the car. He wants to take Mya as far away as he possibly can, out of his father's radar.

"Blake prepare the plane, I'll be at the strip in an hour", he called his PA before entering his home.

As he was about to call for Mya he heard heavy laughter coming from the kitchen. With annoyance he walks over to where all the commotion is coming from. Upon entering the kitchen he saw his sister and Mya watching a chic flick on the kitchen monitor.

At first he wanted to break up this moment they were having because of his initial plan to hide Mya away from his family but now he has a change of heart. He wants Mya to be a part of his life and he wants the rest of his family to accept her the way his sister has.

"Gianna" Lucio called, startling both ladies.

"Luce how long were you standing there, you scared the shit out of the both of us" Gianna said while holding her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.

Lucio walks over to Mya, grabs her face and kisses her deeply and passionately.

"Tell Luciano to come to Italy, let him know that it's urgent", Lucio said to Gianna before pulling out his phone and leaving the ladies in the kitchen.
