{ Cassandra PoV }

Luca stiffened once I gave him the name. Does he know him?

"What's wrong? what happened?" I questioned in a concerned tone. He immediately pulled himself out of his thoughts and shook his head.

{ Luca PoV }

This was it. I need to tell her. I could tell that I was falling for her and if she feels the same about me, I can't let her love me if she thinks i'm a monster.

Seth was the leader of the Vincitori. I was the leader of the Pecados. Cassandra being with me just gives Seth another reason to go to war with us. I need to get to the bottom of there relationship, I need all the details. I could get it out of Josie, i've known her longer then I have Cass.

"Luca!" she yelled, then whined as she clasped her hand around her stomach.

"I have something to tell you, amor. I'm falling for you, and I won't let this go any further without telling you the truth." I caressed her check.

"I want you to promise me that you won't run. I need to tell you everything, then if you'd like you can leave."

"Luca you're scaring me, please just tell me."
I nodded then intertwined our hands.

"Okay...I'm Lucalius Elliot, Leader of the most powerful Spanish Mafia, The Pecados."
I paused to see if she'd speak but she stayed silent.

"When my father was killed I became the leader. My team and I are here in the states doing business. I moved here when I was 20. I continue to go back to Spain to check on everything. My business trip was in Italy, I was there to talk with the leader of the Italian mafia. His brother was just murdered by another Mafia. Seth Ross's Mafia." I stopped there to here her out before continuing.

She kept her hand in mine and gave it a squeeze. Yet her face looked pale and her eyes watered.

"Eres un asesino?" she whispered calmly.
( You're a murderer? )

"Si, querido." I looked down, as my thumb caressed her hand.
( Yes, Darling. )

She remained composed.
"I've never killed an innocent person. Everyone i've harmed deserved what they got."
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Would you ever hurt me?" Her voice cracked.

"No baby. No. I'd never ever come close to hurting you. Ever. I promise." A tear ran down her cheek.

"What if I mess up? What if I did something to upset you? would you still keep that promise?"

"Yes. There's nothing you could ever do to make me want to hurt you. I care too much about you."
With that she broke out into a cry.

Maybe it was because of the shock?

I pulled her out of the bath and wrapped her in a towel, careful not to hurt her already aching body.
I picked her up and brought her back to my bedroom.
I sat her on my lap and cradled her as if she was a baby.
She wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my neck as she cried.
