The Mafia nanny [✓complete]

Leah's POV

It's been two hours since Luca left and the house feels so empty.

I sighed in my boredom, there was no one here.

I heard my phone ring, I smiled at the caller ID.

"Hey girls" I answered.

"Hey," they both said. I put on my AirPods.

"So how is life?" I asked.

"Good," Isa said, "Terrible," Sydney said.

"Let's start with Isa," I said, "Myself and Jack are going to the Maldives" she squealed.

"Damn girl, enjoy" Sydney said, "Yeah I agree" I added.

"He's picking me up in an hour, I'm so excited," she said.

Sydney role her eyes, "You didn't even care to tell me you're leaving Italy?" I asked.

"Lee, we both know she was probably too busy being fucked by Nat" Sydney teased.

"Shut up," Isa said as we both laughed.

"So, Sydney?" Isa asked, "I can not tell you how shitty my life is right now," she said.

"Number 1, I have an older brother, his name is Rodrigo," she said.

"Number two, you won't believe what my dad wants me to do," Sydney said, sounding exasperated.

Both myself and Isa listened attentively.

"He wants me to have breakfast with my 'fiancé' today."

"Fiancé?!" Isa and I gasped in unison. "Since when do you have a fiancé?"

"Since my dad decided to arrange a marriage for me," Sydney replied with annoyance.

"I didn't even know about this guy until recently. I don't even know his name."

"Wait, your dad is arranging your marriage without even consulting you?" Isa asked, sounding shocked.

"That's insane!" I added, feeling angry on Sydney's behalf.

"Tell me about it," Sydney sighed. "I mean, I barely know this guy, and now I'm supposed to have breakfast with him like we're already a happy and lovely couple."

"That's so unfair," I said, my frustration growing. "You should have a say in who you marry."

"I know, right?" Sydney agreed. "But my dad doesn't seem to care about what I want. He's literally making all the decisions for me."

"Well, if you need anything, you know we're here for you," Isa said, her voice full of support.

"Thanks, guys," Sydney said, sounding grateful. "I really appreciate having you both as my friends."

"We're like family, Sydney," I said. "And family sticks together through thick and thin."

As we continued to talk, I couldn't help but think about my own situation with Luca. His sudden departure had left a void in my heart, and I missed him more than I cared to admit.

The unspoken feelings I had for him were becoming harder to hide, and I wondered what would happen when he returned.

But for now, I needed to be there for Sydney.

Despite the distance between us, I knew our friendship was strong enough to bridge any gap.

As she faced the challenges of her arranged marriage, I vowed to support her from afar and remind her that she was not alone.
