LUCA'S POV
Another 365 f*****g days for me—today was my birthday.
Although it did me well, I had Isabella with me now. Her brother, however, had opted to go out with his friends. I had my guards on them, but honestly, I'd prefer it no other way. Matteo, I could tolerate, but his friends? Asher and Glean? They were the worst.
I shrugged mentally. Thinking of them would sour my mood, and I wasn’t in need of that s**t now, especially when they wouldn’t stop their shameless, baseless flirting with Isabella. And yes, she made me swear not to harm them or their families… and God, it was painfully annoying.
“Happy birthday to you, Luca,” Isabella mouthed, planting a slow kiss on my lips, wrapping her fingers into mine as she sat next to me.
A cough escaped Viviana’s lips as she shot dagge
