The Addiction Series
Book One :- Part Nineteen

Larissa pulled her hands away from Gaetano's grip. It's like her mind went black with only one thing left his proposal

She looked over to Gianni who stared at the table cloth that seemed interesting that moment while Marco still stared down at this phone...

Then her eyes drifted back to Gaetano..

"Marco Don't you think the room is very hot" Gianni said more like whispered but everyone in the room heard.

"Yah I think we need some fresh air" Marco before they ran out of the room just to leave the two alone. "Treasure I..."

"Gaetano isn't there any other way you can help other than that" She whispered standing up...

"I like you in fact I am falling so deep in love with you but I don't trust myself not to get hurt.. Am ruined

Am broken to get committed to a man now what if you break me too" She whispered the last part.

He stared at her to be sincere he didn't know what to say but to him she was taking the matter far too personal. He thought the proposal as just as a business deal. He was helping her rule her streets and mostly providing her protection.

"What do I expect so that I jump into such Marriage Gaetano?" She added to her questions while he just stared at her. He knew that this marriage was to also help him get full powers from Antonio. He cared for her and wanted her to be fine by his side..

He walked over and stood in front of her. "I don't know Larissa, we can't be like the couples that all go' loving you and I know you deserve a lot far better than this..." He trailed off looking away.

"You know this is reality and danger is our life, to be sincere I won't force you but think about the lives at your hand right now" this caught her to the core of her mind.

Uncle Franco, Luke, Teresina and many others. Was she ready to let them down like that, to the only family she had left.. He knew that joining powers with Gaetano would help to raise a strong army to take them Pivaratti. But what if this was the only reason for there marriage. She knew that joining forces would also make him stronger.

What if he felt nothing for her and was using this chance to get two groups under his name. To be sincere she couldn't help the weird thoughts that came along and it hurt

She looked at him on the verge of tears trying so hard to stop them from falling down her face.. "I will do it.. But can I ask you something first" she asked feeling a huge web caught in her throat and it's tightening was almost shocking. He raised his hand to touch her cheek but she stepped away from him and shook her head in a no gesture. She didn't want an answer since he seemed to have lost her voice now making her go straight to her questions.

She raised her head and looked at him. "Do you feel anything for me Gaetano" The words escaped her in a soft coated voice from her tightening throat as a tear escaped down her cheek followed by another, she failed to hide her softness again.

Deep down she felt that his answer word hurt badly

The question hit him hand making him turn around to avoid looking at her already wet grey eyes that he enjoyed to get lost in but now all they had was pain, he felt guilty but helpless though he knew that she deserved most of the truth since he was letting her in to his life but he happened to be afraid of telling her yet.

"I like you but that's where it will stop Larissa.. Your important to me and I care about you but don't ask me to love cause I can't" He whispered more to him self and heard her sob hard into her hands that were covering her mouth now.. "Wh.. Wh.. Why?" She stumbled over her words, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. She never so him as one of those Mafia men that disowned love.

He felt his all whole body tense. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath he whispered the most hurting words that cut her through like a sharp knife and he knew he was hurting her

"Cause this heart belongs to only her" she froze in her place where she had stood and couldn't reply or want to ask more for now.

Her feet seemed to have a mind of there own that she found herself just running out of the room to down the hallway into the room she woke up in and locked the door behind her she flopped on bed.

She didn't know why she was crying but she did, a dark deep pain was suffocating her. She could still feel the cracking of her heart now. It was far once than replaceing out who the real Sergio was.

Was she already in love with him??

If not why did feel like it??

But he loved her??

Who was her??

Where was her??

Sadly she hadn't asked.

She felt his touch that moment and closed her eyes so hard as if to erase the memories of his kisses, his thrusts, his dirty talks and most of all his warmth. No man had ever made her feel the way he did to her and with closed eyes she felt like it was happening again.

He was like the devil and kept coming back capturing every inch of her slowly making her his.

Their first night had marked it in her thick skull and heart that she was only his but what if it meant nothing to him. Now she was getting tied down by a man who will never love her.

The thoughts couldn't seem to subside at all, conclusions were far many now.

A knock came on the door catching her by surprise.. She didn't need to ask who it was, the rhythm of her heart beat gave away to it...

To be sincere she didn't expect him to follow her here....
