Luca’s Inferno by Karima Sa’ad Usman

Chapter 17

17 An Impromptu Meet
Luca.
This was amazing. Emma was something else. Throughout my trip to Celio, all I thought about was our night together. I wasn’t courting her, yet she responded to me as if we had been together for a long time. The way she moaned and responded to my touch was like no other. The sex was perfect. I had to move her to my room. After our night together, I knew I would not be able to handle being away from her. She was amazing.
I kept adjusting myself in the back seat of the car. I did it so much that Gerald had to ask me if everything was okay. Goddess knows if I had taken her with me on the trip, I would be pumping myself into her. I wanted more. I had never been with an Omega before. Was this what it was like? She submitted her entire body to me and gave me what I wanted. I wouldn’t have taken her if she did not ask me to. I did not want to complicate our relationship, but the way my body was feeling got me worried.
I was okay with being friends. My lifestyle was too damn dangerous for someone like her. Even though I knew she could defend herself, she did not have to live as the people in my world did. Once the marriage is over, I would set her free. No matter how hard it would be, I will do it for her sake. It would cost me dearly because I know I would miss her. If we were under different circumstances, I could easily say she was my soul mate. My one month with her made me realise how perfect she was for me. She understood and somehow knew me.
When we arrived at Alpha Gibson’s house in Celio, I was shocked to see the damage the attackers had caused. They had left Alpha Gibson a message he wanted to share with me. “Alpha Luca, welcome,” Tomas Jefferson said to me. I honestly wanted to beat him up for what he did to Emma and how he tried to take advantage of her predicament, but I held my peace. I did not want to be the psycho husband beating up his wife’s exes just because they were in her life.
“Thank you,” I said, and we sat in the lounge. His wife, Veronica, was there, and I could see why he desperately wanted Emma back. Veronica had nothing on Emma. Alpha Gibson and his luna walked in, and I noticed he was slightly injured. He greeted me with respect and sat down.
“I came as soon as I heard. Did they tell you the faction they belonged to?” I asked, and he nodded.
“They asked me to align with the Ricci family.” He said, and I frowned at him. I knew someone was trying to set me against Castelo. It would be stupid to do that and leave a name knowing I would be told, but that was how the mob operated, but Castelo had not come out to challenge my authority officially. Something was wrong. “I will increase the security in Celio, especially around you. You also need to have more trained wolves that can help you.” I told him, and he nodded.
“Is it true that you married an Omega from my pack?” Gibson asked me, a bit scared, thinking he had crossed the line.

“Emma Wyatt. Is there a problem?” I asked, and he shook his head. “It is just that she is an omega from a very low family. For someone in your..” He said, and I raised my hands to shut him up.
“The Wyatts are no longer your concern, Gibson. I would appreciate it if you do not use such words when speaking of my wife,” I warned him, and I could feel Tomas’s anger, but he dared not challenge me. Gibson apologised, and we discussed other matters. We finished late and started heading back to Ashfield. On our way, We were informed of an impromptu meeting with the Bianchis. I cursed at the development. I really wanted to rush back home to Emma. I wanted to spend the entire day with her, but that wasn’t possible, thanks to the meetings.
Gerald and I got to the hotel, and to my surprise, my family and the Bianchis were there. Teressa was dressed nice and made to sit next to me. I greeted everyone and hugged them traditionally. I heard my mother sigh with relief.
“Thank goddess..” I heard my mother say, and I realised what was happening. I did not want to be rude to Mathais, so I remained silent.
“Glad you didn’t come with that Omega. This is what our family should look like,” my mother said, and I got angry.
“Why say it is a business meeting? I did not come with my wife because I thought this was a business meeting, and I was on my way back from Celio when you called to set it up,” I said, and my mother got angry.
“You are letting her go in a few months, aren’t you?” She said, and I got angry. I was so mad. My mother always forgets my status in society. I do not answer to anyone. I am above everyone, yet here she is trying to treat me as if I am a little child who needs guidance. I wished my marriage with Emma wasn’t a contract at this moment; I would have rubbed it in, but I knew keeping her with me because I wanted to hurt some people was wrong. Emma deserved to be loved and have her own family. I can’t give her that, and I think she knows too. That was why she said no strings attached.
“What is this meeting about?” I asked, ignoring her question and getting to the point. My mother smiled at me and touched my hand. I pulled away immediately.
“Big brother, calm down,” Catalina, my baby sister, said, and I ignored her completely. My mother was getting on my nerves.
“We are here to discuss your engagement to Teresa. Don Bianchi has offered to join forces with our family if his daughter is married to you. It can also help with the issue you have with those traitors that claim to be your friends. Ricci,” My father said, and I became mad.
“My business is none of your concern, father. You all seem to forget who I am and the fact that I answer to no one. My respect for Mathias is what it is, respect, but he is not above me. If he does not want to help protect the peace, so be it. I will not bend to anyone’s will. Do not speak of Castelo like that again. He is being set up for all I know, and I am not interested in this union. You can join her with Roberto. He is single, and he might want her. He likes power and would gladly help Mathais run his family business. Leave me out of it.” I said, and my father growled at me for putting him in his place. “Big brother, you should respect father,” Roberto told me, and I looked at him angrily. I knew he had been up to no good recently. I did not know what he was doing, but I told Gerald to investigate him. I hope for his sake he wasn’t a part of the problem because I knew my brother
was greedy and he wanted power. “You shouldn’t have a problem with this, Luca. Terressa is an alpha. You need a strong mate by your side to help you whether the storm, not a timid Omega..” My mother said, and I shut her up.
“Shut up!” I said calmly, but I was enraged
“I did not see any of you when those wolves tried to kill me at the dinner party. It was this Omega that helped me fight my attackers off. She isn’t as weak as you think. She isn’t also as submissive as you think. I would advise you to leave her out of this conversation completely.” I warned my mother, and she was in shock at my tone.
“Marcelo told us how and why you married her, so we know it is a sham, Luca. Once the contract is over, You will marry Teresa, or my family will withdraw support.” Mathias had the guts to tell me. I blamed my family for this because, thanks to my folks, the old man had forgotten his place. I laughed. I could not believe how delusional they were.
“I am above you, old man,” I said very calmly and angrily. “Do not forget that. Do not let your sudden friendship with my folks fool you. I am still boss, and when I say no, I mean no. Place your alpha daughter as the head of your family if you want your family name and legacy to continue. As for me, I will not get with her. Once Emma and I annul our marriage, I will remain single.” I said very calmly and coldly, and the man had fear in his eyes. My parents might not see any harm in antagonising me, but Mathais knew how ruthless I could be. I knew he was working against me, and that was why I did not receive much help during that attack at the dinner party. I had yet to confront him about it because I had yet to connect the dots. It was dangerous to go about accusing people without proof.
“Luca, Please,” Roberto said, and I relaxed in the chair.
