Gabriella's Hellfire: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance

[BOOK2] They said life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. I think that’s bullshit. Don’t get me wrong. I love fairy tales. I’m a bibliophile. In fact, I read about a hundred books a year. And in my life? I don’t marry my prince charming. I have to marry the big bad wolf. I’m not Cinderella. I don’t have evil sisters or a broken family. Actually, I grew up privileged in New York. I get what I want—most of the time, anyway. But that’s just how it is when you’re the daughter of New York’s Italian crime boss: Don Alessandro De Luca. Sounds like I'm a modern-day princess, don't I? But the truth is, in our world, I’m not free to do a lot of things. And the men in my life shield me from the family business. I get it. Restrictions keep me and my family safe. But it gets frustrating how they think I can't handle it. And now, I’m shackled to something I don’t have control over—unless I want my family endangered. I'm arranged to marry the grandson of the Morelli Family—our rival family who had been after my father’s seat for years. I would rather die than end up with the enemy. But everything changed in the blink of an eye. My prince charming died because of them. Now, I can’t escape it. Now, the only choice I have left is to marry the villain to save my family. So how can my life be a fairy tale when I’m living in a nightmare? Nevertheless... This villain will have to see. I can't be restrained. I'm born to be free. **Gabriella's Hellfire is Book 2 of The De Luca Mafia Series** _______________ This is my first published work that is written in first person P.O.V.

Chapter 74 - Mariano (2)

The last time I've seen Victor before Thursday was about a decade when I spent a summer with him at Davenport. His older brother, Ed, who is five years older than him, was also there for a week. It was one of the best summers I've had in a long time.

I don't keep in touch with them as often as I should. We have our own lives and ever since they left Chicago, they never looked back. I didn't want to put them in a spot. Ed has settled down, living like a normal citizen, literally saving lives. And while Victor is doing the opposite, he has his own thing going on in Davenport. But ever since I've known Victor, he's always been good to me. It's strange that even though we didn't talk much over the years, he's the closest I have to a brother—well, uncle—who shares my blood. More than Filippo could ever be.
