Mafia's trap

Chapter 8

After she took a glass of milk, she walked outside and took a seat by the pool, relaxing her legs inside the water and looked at the sky full of stars. Her thoughts wandered off but she felt much better than she did half an hour ago, unaware of who was observing her from afar.

Luca left the glass on the table and stood up from the cozy chair. He saw her coming from the back door of the kitchen that was leading to the garden. He held his breath while she was walking to the pool. She was wearing tiny shorts and a thin top. When she approached the edge of the pool she sat down, leaving her naked legs, to fall down into the water and then she looked up in the sky, which made her hair slip down her back.

When she took a sip from the glass she took with herself, he held his breath watching at her posture, her breasts going up and down, the strands of her hair dancing slowly in the wind. She looked so soft and so sexy at the same time. He sighed heavily and rubbed his face, cursing himself for being so impulsive. He needed to stay away from her. At least for now. With that, he turned around involuntarily and walked into his room hoping to fall asleep soon.

Mila looked one more time at her reflection in the mirror and smiled, gathering strength for further.

When she walked down she found Maria already in the kitchen, she was preparing coffee.

"Good morning, Maria."

She turned around and smiled handing her cup of coffee.

"Good morning, dear. How are you?"

Mila followed Maria to the garden. She was glad they were having coffee there. The sun was already high up in the sky and she loved feeling it's rays on her skin.

"I am good, weather is great and I can't wait to work. I have started working with some new plants in the garden."

Maria seemed like she was thrilled with her enthusiasm about the work but she also seemed like she was worried about something. Mila hesitated about asking her but in the end she asked her.

"Is everything all right, Maria? You seem a bit distracted and worried If I may say so."

Maria smiled at her but she seemed sad.

" I am fine, thank you for asking. I guess I am too old to work anymore."

Mila took her by her hand and smiled at her.

"That is why I came here. I am ready to do it all by myself. You have worked more than enough and it's your time to enjoy yourself. I think you should start today."

Maria tried to protest but unexpectedly a male voice stopped her. Mila raised her head and caught his gaze. It was Luca standing at the door frame. He probably heard her speech. Mila blushed for unknown reason but she looked back at Maria and smiled, tapping her hand.

"See, I told you."

Maria tried to protest again but, surprisingly for Mila, Luca approached the old lady and offered her hand, which she accepted, standing up.

" I am sure Mila is capable of doing this work all by herself. I want you to enjoy yourself and rest from now on and I don't want to hear any kind of excuses because there is no space for that. Okay?"

Luca looked at Maria with tenderness in his eyes and when she nodded he pulled her to his chest, hugging her. He was so tall that she was barely reaching his shoulders, but it was more than obvious that he loves and respects her immensely. When he left her from his hug he looked at her.

" Go, take some rest, relax. I need to speak with Mila."

She probably looked dumb when she looked at him with surprise on her face and shock in her eyes and when Maria left them she once realized that this man terrified her and she couldn't tell why.
