Chapter 35 : Show You Off

*Sophia’s POV*

Luca and I trudged across the cobblestone paths, loaded down with furniture. My arms burned from lifting the bed frames and wardrobes, but I pushed through, determined to make sure everything got moved inside before the rain. As we loaded the last piece into the house, I wondered where the men who had been working for Lucia and Francesco were. Jacopo and Alessandro had to have done something to them, and I couldn't find it in me to care what that was.

"You know," Luca grunted as we lifted opposite ends of a beautiful, antique armoire, "I still can't believe you're banging a mafia boss. Does that make you queen of the mafia? I have so many questions."

I rolled my eyes at Luca's crude language. "I'm not 'banging' anyone. And being with Jacopo doesn't make me queen of anything. It's not like that."

"Sure, sure," he said, winking at me. "But you have to admit, it's kind of hot. The forbidden romance between the mafia prince and the outsider."
