25 Impulsive Emma.
I could not believe my eyes. Luca had invited Kyle and Heather to come with us. I did not know how much I missed them until I saw them. I was in tears, hugging them. I turned to Luca and thanked him. He smiled back at me. “Emma,” Kyle said; he looked rich. He was a very handsome guy. His black hair was short and curly. He wore a white shirt and grey pants. He looked sophisticated, like a small boss. He smiled at me and his cute dimples shined through. The dullness in his eyes was gone. They were alive. Then it caught my eyes. He had a mate mark on his neck. “Since when, Kyle?” I asked him, and he touched his mark lightly. “A month ago. She went to visit her folks. That is why I could come.” He said, and I was so proud of him. Our luck had indeed changed, and it was because of Luca. Kyle’s mark also made me jealous, realising that my neck was bare and there was a possibility it would remain that way. We went into the jet; it was exquisite. I had never been in an aeroplane, let alone a private plane. I was glad for the memories Luca was allowing me to have. Heather sat on a seat and squealed with joy. Luca and Aldo entered and went to sit close to the cockpit. They were having a meeting, so I decided to engage my guests. “Kyle, tell me about your mate,” I said with a smile, and he beamed at me. “Her name is Leana. She is a kappa,” he said, and I was shocked. How could a kappa allow their daughter to mate with an Omega? “How?” I asked, and Heather laughed. “Emma, your brothers are the hottest men in town now. Everyone wants to be with them because they are rich and the in-laws of Luca Alessandro. Tevin’s wife has been trying to come back.” She said, and I was shocked. Why didn’t Tevin or Bruce tell me any of these things, and we always talk on the phone? “The supermarket is doing well too. We have three branches now,” Kyle asked, and I was shocked. “Father is behaving himself since he has been banned from all the clubs and Casinos; he holds poker games at night in the house,” Kyle said, and I laughed. “Wow, Kyle. I am happy for you, and I wish you
the best,” I told my brother, and just then, I felt a pain in my heart. Luca and I had only four more months left, and it will be over. I will
lave what kyle has. As much as Luca tried to urge me to make sure I moved on when it was over, I knew I would not be able to do so. I can never tarnish my memories with him by being with someone else. I will leave my neck bare and continue my romance with Declan in my dreams. “Emma, are you alright?” Heather linked me, and I looked at her, confused. “You zoned out,” she said, and I smiled at her. “Are you okay?” She asked aloud, and I heard Luca and Aldo stop talking. They had heard her question. “I am fine, Heather. I am happy to see you guys,” I managed, wiping away my tears, but she knew me too well to buy that crap. “I will only be spending three days with you, Emma, and I have to go home. Leana just conceived, and I want to be home before she returns from her folks,” Kyle said, and I nodded. I wished that was my life. I wished I was carrying Luca’s baby, and we were madly in love, but I knew he would be with Terressa soon, and I would be alone picking up the pieces of my heart. I was angry with the goddess for making me an Omega from a low-level family and making Luca and I cross paths like we did. If we were equals, he would have been mine. His family wouldn’t kick against it, and he would not have to let me go. I could not take the hurt, so I asked the air hostess if there was a restroom and where it was. She showed it to me, and I got up to use the toilet. I entered and locked it and began to weep. Four months was a very short time. Soon, we would be counting weeks and then days. “Are you okay?” I heard Luca’s voice, and I sighed with frustration. Of course, I wasn’t okay. I was sad, but I lied. “I am okay, Luca. Just have a stomach upset.” I lied, and he was silent. While I sat on the toilet, I thought of his conversation with his mother and promised myself to try and make him keep me by all means. I did not know how but I prayed to the goddess to help me because I could not let go. Declan had stopped asking me not to forget about him in my dreams; he was now pleading with me not to let him go. Trying was important, so I would not have regrets in the future. I wiped away my tears and washed my face. My eyes still looked puffy, but there was nothing I could do about it. I left the toilet and returned to my seat. Kyle had slept off, and Heather sat by the windowBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
looking at the clouds. This was her first time too, and she seemed excited. I joined her, and she looked at me with sadness. She knew I was in pain, and I smiled at her and linked her to not say a word. She nodded and looked at where Luca and Aldo were and smiled. “He is looking at us, Emma,” she said, and I smiled. We arrived at the island after spending three hours in the air. It was exquisite. A limo picked us up from the airport and drove us to the hotel we would be staying. Kyle and Emma were thrilled. Luca held me in the limo, and his touch, as calming as it was, hurt me to my soul. Did he have to let me go? We arrived at the hotel and were led to our individual rooms. The room was beautiful. It had glass walls and windows with tall curtains for privacy. The bed was king size and had silk sheets. The room looked modern and beautiful, but it had nothing on the dark masculine tone of Luca’s room at the mansion. I still prefer the black and brown furnishings to this one. We dropped our bags, and Luca hugged me. “Do you like it?” He whispered into my ears, taking in my scent, and I moaned instead of answering. I wanted to ask him to claim me, but I controlled myself. I knew he wouldn’t. “Yes,” I moaned again, and he nibbled on my earlobe. I was wet instantly, and I moaned. My pussy was clenching, and I wanted more. How did he expect me to live without him? “Luca,” I moaned, and he turned me towards him. “You said you are happy, Emma, and it seems like it, but I feel sadness radiating from you,” he said, and I turned away from him. Contemplating if I should tell him what I was thinking or not. I spoke up on impulse. I had to try something. This might not be the right time, but I doubted if there ever would be. I had to give it a shot. “Luca, I know I am an Omega, and I am not good enough to be by your side as your wife.” I started, and he frowned at me. He wanted to speak, but I stopped him, knowing if I did not tell him now, I would not be able to tell him again. “‘I know I have nothing to my name and can never command respect like you do, but..” I said and took a deep breath. “I do not want this to end,” I said honestly, and his face dropped. “I like being around you, being with you. I can never be with anyone else after this, Luca,” I said and went to him; he sat at the foot of the bed. I squatted by his leg and looked at him, baring my soul. “I do not want money and comfort, but I will love to remain in your life, Luca, even as your mistress. I will
do all you want me to and never complain,” I said, avoiding using the L word with him. His face became angry, and he stood up abruptly. “I won’t cause you problems, and you won’t have to spend a dime. I will work and pay my way. I do not have to live in your house. I can get a decent place. Even if I will only see you once or twice a month. I will be grateful. You are a good man, Luca, heaven sent, and it would be stupid of me to let go even though we are worlds apart.” I said, and he started seething with anger. I had ruined the vacation. Why couldn’t I keep my stupid mouth shut? I also knew I sounded desperate, but baring the soul always sounded that way because everything was on the line. “You promised you won’t complicate this, Emma,” he reminded me, and I knew I had to find a way to make him let it go because this conversation might not go the way I hoped. “You can’t blame me for trying,” I said, getting up and giggling, but my heart was broken. “We do so well together that I felt I should offer something. If you do not like my offer, then it is okay. I won’t take offence and will not bring it up again. Rest assured that I will leave the moment the contract ends, Luca. Disregard my words, please,” I said quickly out of shame, and he turned to look at me. His eyes were sorrowful red, and I feared I had done something wrong. “Do not talk about being my mistress again, Emma,” he warned me, and I nodded with a smile. “You are not cut out for this life. You are an angel, and this is hell. I will not keep you longer than we agreed on. Please do not complicate matters, or I will end the contract sooner than I should,” he said, warning me, and I felt like slapping myself for bringing that up. He might have just said those things to get on his mother’s nerves. I moved our bags to the wardrobe and began to unpack them. I hope Luca will forget what I told him and we will have a good time on Queen island. While arranging the stuff in the cupboard, I heard the door close. I looked and saw that Luca had left the room, and just then, tears began to fall from my eyes. I had struck a nerve with Luca, and I hoped I would be able to redeem myself. I changed into orange net beach wear with a white bikini underneath and decided to go and look for Heather, so we could explore the place. I went to Heather’s room. She let me in, and we hugged. It didn’t take much before I started crying. “Your heart is breaking, Emma. How did you think you would spend so much time with him and not fall in love?” She asked, and I sniffled. She
was right. I sat on her bed and wiped away my tears. I told her what I proposed and how he responded, and she scolded me for being bold and desperate. I was only trying my luck. I wasn’t expecting him to react the way he did. We just got here, and I had spoiled the mood. I hoped he would come around soon. 111 et us take a walk by the beach, Emma. It will help ease your heart,” she said, and I decided to oblige her. It would be nice to have done this with Luca, but Heather was also great. Next time, I would guard my mouth and live the moment to the fullest. Hopefully, he will get over what I said, and we can return to the way we were before I opened my mouth. Fingers crossed, Luca will come around.
