Dangerous Heart . The Mafia Boss's Love .

Chapter 25

Sienna

When I arrived home, I was still reeling from my encounter with Luca. Seeing him with that woman again ignited a mix of nervousness and anger within me. Despite his warnings not to believe everything I hear or see, every time I run into him, she's there by his side. How am I supposed to ignore that?

He kissed me, but yet he was at the hospital with her. What the hell was going on? God, I wanted to throttle him. He said he'd explain everything at dinner, but I wasn't even sure I wanted to hear what he had to say. Being near him had made me a mess. My head would always scream at me to run away as fast as I could, but my body and my heart would do the opposite, and I hated it. He knew it too; he knew how to manipulate and control my body and emotions.

Well, not this time. I don't care what he has to say. He's not getting his own way again. I'm not going to let him make a fool out of me anymore. I'm done with his mind games and controlling behavior. I will meet him tomorrow and tell him where to shove his explanation and to leave me the fuck alone, I'll walk away from him for good.

With a steely mindset, I stepped into the shower, letting the water wash away the tensions of the day. Afterward, I slipped into an oversized T-shirt and climbed into bed. I was ready to sleep, but as expected, my dreams came and were filled with him—vivid, explicit, and naughty images that felt incredibly real. I woke up several times, lost in the heat of the moment, moaning in the darkness.

"Damn it, why can't he leave me in peace? He even has to invade my sleep and ruin it," I mutter to myself, frustrated by the lingering thoughts of him in my dreams. "Yeah, sure he ruined your sleep, not you moaning and enjoying everything he did to you in that dream," my brain taunts me.

Shaking my head to clear the dirty thoughts, I lie back down, attempting to find peace in sleep. However, the next morning, after another erotic Luca dream, I wake up soaking below. "Oh god, this has got to stop," I whisper to myself as I rise from my bed, realising I need another shower.

After quickly showering, I head to the kitchen to make myself breakfast and a coffee. I also decide to fit in a gym session before my dinner with Luca. Not that I plan to doll myself up for him, but working out always helps clear my head and brush away the cobwebs, as they say.

As I sipped away on my coffee, Lost in thoughts about how my dinner with Luca would go later, I suddenly hear a bed creaking, followed by moans "yes, yes, oh god, just like that, echoed from kelsey's bedroom, along with the sound of the bed banging against the wall.

"What on earth? How?" I wonder aloud. She was working until midnight. Who the hell did she pick up at that hour, especially at the hospital?

"My god, Kelsey," I mutter under my breath.

I try to drown out the noise by switching on the radio in the kitchen, opting to distract myself with some cleaning. After thirty minutes of tidying up both the kitchen and living room, I finally finish.

Kelsey emerges from her room with her overnight guest, it was the guy I met in the hospital about a week ago—Stephen, if I recall correctly.

"Wow, everything smells so fresh and clean in here," her voice echoes through the small space. I switch on the coffee machine and turn to look at them both, a smile playing on my lips as I give them a knowing glance that I heard everything. Kelsey seems unfazed, but I notice a blush creeping onto Stephen's face as he awkwardly scratches the back of his neck.

"Morning," she chirps.

"You mean good afternoon," I correct her.

"Really? Is it that late?" she asks, sounding surprised.
