"What do you mean we are going for a ride? And why am I putting on all black clothes?" I asked confused.
"Don't ask questions just do it!" He said winking at me.
I grabbed the clothes from him and went into the bathroom to change.
"You aren't making me rob a bank with you right?!" I asked through the door.
"Aria you know we are the richest people in Italy why would I need to rob a bank?" He asked laughing
"I don't know because you want more money!" I yelled back then came out of the bathroom.
"No we aren't robbing a bank love. I'm just taking you out for a ride to clear your head." He said as he kissed my forehead.
"Do my brothers know you're taking me to rob a bank?" I said laughing at him as I put on my new black boots.
"Oh shut it and come on!" He said laughing at me as he lead me out of our room.
I'll never get used to saying our room. It's comforting to know I'll never be alone. Some would think I'd feel suffocated but to me it's comforting.
If I'm being honest I didn't want to leave the room. I was so mentally drained and exhausted I just wanted to disappear into the bed sheets.
"Follow me love" he said as he held out his hand. I gladly took his hand a followed him out the back door.
"Why didn't we take the front door?" I ask confused. He said we were going for a ride so I assumed we were going to take a car and go driving.
"Why do you ask so many questions. Just follow me!" He said smiling at me.
I rolled my eyes and continued to follow him through the backyard. He took us through the back gate that I didn't even know existed.
"There is a back gate?!" I yelled, shocked and a little upset I didn't know it was here.
"Shhh! Yes there is a gate here, it's meant to stay hidden. It's like a secret exit." He whispered.
I nodded and continued following him, I didn't understand why we had to be quiet but Im sure he will tell me later.
We finally made our way to the front of the house to see his gorgeous motorcycle. My jaw dropped.
"Is this yours?!" I whispered.
"Yes love and what's mine is yours, if you ever want to learn that is" He said quietly as he smiled wide at me.
"Don't tell my brothers, but I know how to ride a motorcycle already, He had one I would take out all the time while he was at work or asleep." I said smiling a little to myself, thinking of the memories of the only peace I felt with him.
"I won't tell as long as you don't tell your brothers I let you drive it" He said laughing.
"Deal! Speaking of me driving, would you? I don't feel in the right place of mind to hold your life in my hands right now." I said hanging my head down as he grabbed two helmets.
"Of course love, I planned on driving tonight. But if you ever do want to I just wanted you to know the option is always here." He said putting the helmet over my head kissing the top of the helmet.
I smiled at him as he closed the visor on my helmet. He then put on his helmet and then handed me some gloves.
"Just hold on tight okay? If somethings wrong and you need me to stop tap my helmet, other than that you can talk to me through the headsets in the helmets okay?" I nodded and hopped on behind him. He squeezed my thigh as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
We peeled out of the drive way, blending in with the dark of night. The only thing to be heard was the rev of the bike. We were now off the main road and onto some back roads, so he didnt have to worry about his speed or other cars.
I took my hands off of his waist and put them into the air. Letting the wind blow through my body. Letting the stress leave my body like the wind.
(There is a video on my TikTok, it is the most recent video I have reposted that is the perfect representation of this if you'd like to go look at it. :))
Then I heard Luca through the headset "I love you Ri" He said softly.
"I love you too Luca" I said wrapping one arm around his waist, keeping the other in the air.
"Scream" He said softly. I didn't answer confused as to what he meant.
"Let it out Love, Scream, shout, cry, yell. Just let it out baby" He said squeezing my hand.
I took in a deep shaky breath and screamed. As loud as I could. The scream stealing every ounce of air in my body. Silent tears falling as the scream left my lungs. All the anger, fear, guilt, disgust, all of it leaving my body.
"That's it baby, just let it out." He said rubbing my thigh.
I screamed again. Im sure Lucas ears were screaming back at me to stop but he told me to keep going.
All the pain slowly leaving my body. Letting myself finally relax, for the first time since I've been back with my family. The pain is gone.
The pain left, just as the air did my lungs as I screamed.
My breathing quickened as I tried to catch my breath.
"You're safe Ri, I promise you're safe." He said softly, helping some air come back into my lungs.
"Luca?" I said shakily
"Yes Ri?" He said putting on hand on my thigh.
"Kill them" that's all I had to say for him to know exactly who I was talking about. He tapped my thigh twice, ducking his head low to the bike letting me know to duck with him.
"Done. I swear to you Aria Rosa Valentino I'll make them suffer. I'll make them pay for what they've done to you. They won't leave my sight alive." He said sternly as we reached 120 mph.
"Good" I said leaning my head on his back.
This man in front of me, the man in all black, the man with a tattoo for me, the man who would kill for me, the man who's helped me rinse blood out of my hair, the man with my life in his hands on this bike. This man in front of me, the man I trusted my entire life with.
