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 100 - Mariano (2)

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I take it out, seeing Jax's text has come through. He's still recovering, but a few days ago, he begged me to put him to work or he'll go crazy. His parents took him home when they arrived, but he moved to my house just a few days after, saying they drove him nuts. I couldn't not let him stay even though he annoys the fuck out of me whenever he gets the chance. I nearly lost my brother and I would take his annoying presence than not have him at all.

So I gave him light work and he uses my home office while I'm here. I last spoke to him yesterday when he swore he'd get things done before I come back.

[ Jax: We got it ]

Just those three words light up my body, I'm suddenly buzzing with energy as I frantically call him the next second. He picks up in video, his face filling the whole of my screen, his huge grin making me smile too. He no longer looks pale; that's good.
