Samantha's POV
I was mildly shocked that Luca wanted to see me, however, I knew what he wanted to see me about. I got dressed in one of my best vacation dresses, applied my makeup, curled my hair, and put all my necessities into my bag inclusive of my pregnancy test results. I was 40 minutes late, I did this intentionally. I approached the boardwalk to find Luca's back turned away from where I was standing. I walked toward him, he turned to face me, he gave me a slight once over.
"Hi Luca, you wanted to talk?", I said sweetly.
"Yes, Samantha I do need to speak with you," he answered gruffly.
"What about?", I questioned in a naive tone.
"Why are you here Samantha?" he asked sounding somewhat annoyed.
"I'm here for you Luca," I stated matter of factly.
He scoffed at my response
"How did you even know I was here?"
"Luca baby, you keep forgetting that our parents are close friends. your mom told my mom and my mom told me, duh," I said as if it were obvious.
Are you really pregnant?", he asked, as if he was hoping I'd say no
Without a response, I reached into my bag for the slip of paper that confirmed that I was indeed pregnant and handed it to him.
I watched as he read the contents of the paper after which all the colour drained from his face. I smirked.
"I need a drink," he sighed and walked in the direction of the nearest restaurant and bar, I followed behind him.
"Aren't you happy Luca? We'll have our own little family."
He ignored me. He took a seat and placed his drink order with the bartender.
Luca didn't stop drinking until he got cut off by the bartender
"N-n-noo I just need one more please, I got her pregnant, I'm gonna be a dad. I'm not ready to be a dad, one more please," the bartender turned to me
"Get him home and congratulations," I smiled at him
I gently coaxed Luca out of the bar and took him back to my hotel room.
As soon as we entered my room, I placed my lips on his. He tried pushing me away but I stayed firmly attached to him. He soon gave up and kissed back and the rest as they say is history.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and happy, everything was going my way. I turned on my side to face Luca, only to find him gone. I checked the room and his clothes were gone. This is not how I saw the morning going. Regardless, I got what I wanted, Luca. Now all I had to do was to find a way to get rid of his wife and we could be happy with our own little family.
His POV
To say I was pissed was an understatement. I can't believe that I gave her the opportunity to even try and get close to me like that.
After exiting the shower, I went into the room to apologize to Vanessa for my brash statement but as usual she was asleep. I grabbed my phone from the sofa in our bedroom and dialed my parents' house number.
My dad answered the phone,"Hello son, how is your honeymoon going?" he asked
I quickly exchanged pleasantries and filled him in on my eventful honeymoon.
He whistled in response after which I heard my mother "YOU DID WHAT? WITH WHO?", I shifted the phone away from my ear slightly.
"Mom are you trying to make me go deaf?" I questioned
"Luca Alessandro Ricci, you are to come back to Los Angeles with your wife immediately and you are to have no more contact with Samantha. We cannot have this girl ruining our arrangement, it's bad enough that she's pregnant," my mom said with venom flowing through her tone.
She then hung up on me.
I wasted no time in packing my stuff and once Vanessa was up, I made her aware of what was to happen and she nodded not saying anything to me.
Her POV
Well so much for enjoying my vacation. I busied myself with packing my things and once that was completed we went to the dock to get into the boat to go back to the mainland, where our car would be waiting to take us to the airport.
After the half an hour drive to the airport and the 10 and half hour flight, I had definitely had enough of Luca to serve me a lifetime. Unfortunately, I was rudely awakened to the fact that we would have to live in the same house for another year.
I rolled my eyes at the thought.
"Do you want to get something to eat? You didn't eat anything the whole plane ride." Luca said
"I'm fine," I responded curtly and for the rest of the journey to our new home it was silent, so much so that our chauffer turned on the radio
After what felt like forever, we arrived in front of a huge gate. Luca then pressed a button on a remote of sorts and the gate opened, the chauffer drove in and up the small hill and we finally pulled up in front of a huge mansion.
It was nighttime so the mansion was well lit and very breathtaking. Luca and the chauffer got out first, Luca came around to my side and opened the door for me while the chauffer took our luggage out of the trunk of the Jeep.
"Thanks," I muttered
"You're very welcome, " Luca responded
After Luca and the chauffer brought our bags inside Luca bid the chauffer goodbye as did I.
When we were alone he turned to me and said, "Come, you must be tired let me show you to your room."
I followed behind him wordlessly as we passed a kitchen to up a grand pair of stairs
I was in awe at the beauty of what little I had seen so far. We soon stopped in front of a large black door and Luca set my bags down in front of it and said, "Well this is all you, I am the last door down the hall," he said
I nodded in response
I wasted no time in pushing the door open to find a majestic room waiting for me
It looked so clean and untouched almost unreal, I put my stuff down in a corner of the room.
"I'll just unpack tomorrow," I said to myself
I got a pair of shorts, a tee shirt, my toothbrush and my face cleansers out of my bag and made my way over the ensuite bathroom.
I did my nightly routine in this foreign place and went back to the bedroom, the newness of it all wasn't enough to stop me from falling asleep as soon as I hit the bed.
