18. Chilling Surprises

Sorry for the delay 🖤

I think you'll like the chapter though.

Hopefully.

VALENTINA

"Do you like it here honey?" Serena kisses my cheek as I take my place beside her on the couch.

Its evening time and this place looks absolutely amazing at this hour. I'm a night person and the beach looks beautiful at this hour here.

"Like it? I absolutely love it Serena. I love this place." I grinned at her.

"Happy to hear that." She smiles her gaze fixed on me.

"Where are my friends anyway?" I asked.

These people have literally taken this trip as vacation. Since morning they're either on the beach or in the kitchen eating.

"At the back. It looks great. We should go too." She suggested and took my hand pulling me.

I see Ivan coming downstairs and I stopped Serena.

"Hey Ivy." I grinned playfully making him close his eyes and breath hard.

"Oh my god. Someone please kill her already." He groans making me laugh.

"You call him Ivy?" Serena giggles and I am sure even i don't look that good when I giggle.

You never giggle Val.

Ohh yeah.

"Yeah. Isn't it a pretty name?" I asked pinching Ivans cheek and Serena looks at us smirking.

I'm sure he must have done something by now but something is holding him back. I don't know why.

"Ivan, honey we are going to the beach. You should come too." Serena said pouting at him to make him sit with us I guess.

"Mom..." Ivan starts when Serena just pulls both of our arms and I look at Ivan laughing while he glares at me.

We walk to the beach just at the back of the house and I stare at the scene in amazement. Its just so breathtaking and perfect.

There is a sitting arrangement made from sand and large cushions are placed on it. In the middle there is a campfire.

I saw my friends sitting there. Vanessa on Eric's lap while Nia is giving a head massage to Cody and Emma is talking to Leo.

I didnt know Leo was here with them.

We three go and Leo stood up kissing Serena and they both sit together while Emma takes Cody's place and Vanessa starts giving her a massage.

Did I tell you that Vanessa gives the best massages in the world? Maybe not in the world but she really is good at it. I'll go as soon as Emma is done.

"Hey guys!" I greet everyone and sit beside Ivan to annoy him obviously.

They all lazily smile and continue doing whatever they were doing.

I look to my side to Ivan gazing at the sea and I smile softly.

"Its beautiful. Isn't it?" I said watching the waves.

"Yeah." He mutters and we all just sit there not saying anything.

"You're not that annoying when you don't speak." I look back at Ivan and see him with a half smile.

"Hey! I'm never annoying. You're just boring." I grin at him and he chuckles.

"You're just too dumb. I'm not boring." He retorts.

"You..." I started when I'm cut off by a new voice shouting.

"Leo..My man! "I see a man running towards us and jumps hugging Leo and Leo chuckles obviously used to it.

"I missed you so much Serena.Especially Food." He hugs Serena and made a choking noise.

"Oh my love. Now I'll take care of you." Serena said stroking his cheek with care.

Omg I'm feeling like laughing right now.

Who is this now?

I look towards Ivan to see him smiling and shaking his head as if this happens everytime.

The man then comes towards Ivan and I and pulls Ivan for a tight hug and all of us stare at him.

"Ivan..." He starts loudly again when Ivan cuts him off making me laugh.

"I get it. Stop it now." Ivan said chuckling.

He untangles himself and then his eyes set on me a little surprised. I stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do and slowly his mouth pulls up into a smirk.

"Oh.my.God. What do we have here?" He said slowly still smirking.

"Excuse me?" I said with a raised eyebrow and his smirk deepens.

"Let me introduce myself. " he said coming closer.

"I'm Luca Your Majesty." He said with a full smirk and my eyes widened and he pulls me in for a hug.

Your Majesty!?

Chill Valentina.

He is not The Luca.

"Feels good to finally meet you Gummy bear." He whispers still hugging me and I tensed.

Fucking hell!

He is Luca.

And he knows it's me. This is so not happening right now.

"Its you." I mutter not knowing what to do.

"Don't worry. Luciano doesn't know your face yet. " He whispers smiling at me.

"I..." I started when I am cut off with yet another voice.

"YOU!" The voice exclaimed as I step aside to look at him.

Oh my God.

Can I die already?

Please take me now.

This is so not how I wanted it to go.

Luca chuckles beside me looking at my horrified expression and my friends are already trying to control their laugh.

Serena, Leo and Ivan look confused as hell and I stand there clueless.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asks coming closer to stand in front of me.

Fuck..he smells as good as he looks. My legs feel like jelly. Why is he so damn handsome?!

"Honey..Do you know V..." Serena starts when Luciano cuts her off.

"She is the girl who won against me." He said with gritted teeth making me smirk.

"What!? Wow." Serena yells and comes to hug me.

"Yes I kicked his ass and he passed out." I smirked and chuckled looking at Luciano.

"You're digging your own grave V." Luca mutters shaking his head smirking.

"That's amazing sweetie. Will you beat his ass again for me to watch?" She asks making puppy eyes at me while Luciano glared at me.

"Anytime Serena. I would love to beat his ass again." I smirked and everyone laughs now except Luciano.

Can I touch him?

I dont think I can control anymore.

"Seriously Mom?" He questions in disbelief and Luca chuckles.

Mom!?

Mom!!

Your parents live in Italy!

Okay. Seriously. Just kill me now.

Serena smiles and pulls Luciano's big frame to her small frame in a hug.

Is it okay to be jealous of Serena right now?

No?

Okay.

"Son." Leo comes and Luciano hugs him while I look at Luca and he smirks back at me.

"What will you do now?" He mouths chuckling and I glared at him.

I look at my friends for help and they shrugged as if telling me this is all my fault.

Nia has the guts to even smirk at me.

"Dad. What is she doing here?" He asked looking serious.

"None of your business." I retorted and he looks at me as if he is controlling himself.

"She is the girl I told you about. She is the one Dante is..." Luciano cuts Leo off as his gaze darkens and stares at me.

"I see." He muttered looking at me with the same dark gaze.

I don't wanna admit this but the way he is looking at me right now makes me scared of him. He looks so dangerous and cold and I have had my share of danger but he scares me the most.

"I think you should rest honey." Serena speaks and Luciano storms off back into the house.

Slowly all of us walk back into the house and I quickly make my way upstairs to my room.

Breathing heavily I closed the door and leaned against it.

This is so bad. I didn't want Luciano to know about Dante but everything is going against me.

"I'm mad at you, my love. I hope I forgive you sooner for your sake." I hear his deep voice saying that in a dark tone making me shiver.

I am so fucked now.
