Page 37 of Wrestling With Love

Diamond woke up to the rhythmic clang of weights being adjusted.

That wasn’t normal.

She rolled out of bed, her muscles still a little bit sore but her instincts sharper than ever. Something was off.

Following the sound, she padded toward the source, only to stop dead in her tracks.

Her jaw nearly hit the floor.

A fully equipped gym.

In Luca’s house.

Treadmills. Punching bags. A weightlifting station. Even a damn wrestling mat.

She turned slowly, Luca was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, looking way too smug.

"Luca." Her voice was flat. "What the hell is this?"

"Your training space," he said easily. Like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Diamond’s eyes narrowed. "I didn’t ask for this."

He shrugged. "Didn’t need you to."

Oh, she wanted to fight him. Argue. Yell.

But the truth?

Her chest felt… tight.

Because no one—no one—had ever done something like this for her.

Still, she had an image to maintain.

"So you’re just—what? Watching me train from now on?"

Luca smirked, stepping closer, gaze dipping to her arms. "I enjoy watching you move, Bambina."

Her stomach flipped.

Nope. Nope. Not engaging.

She turned away, grabbed a pair of gloves, and punched the nearest bag.

"Keep up then, Ferrara."

Soon, Diamond wasn’t the only one using the gym.

Luca had made calls—just two. First to Vincent, who showed up with Lena the next day, and the second to her landlord, terminating the rental agreement and moving all her stuff to his apartment.

Diamond was annoyed. But Luca was not listening to her anymore. He was not letting her go at any cost.

So she had no option but to live and train under his roof. She was used to training at the gym, pushing through every rep and every round with everyone busy in their own sessions. But now? Now she had Vincent barking orders at her and only her, while Lena made smug comments from the sidelines.

“Again,” Vincent ordered, arms folded as he watched Diamond reset her stance.

She gritted her teeth, sweat dripping down her back. Every muscle in her body ached, but she refused to quit.
