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 19 - Gabriella (3)

They guide me to a bathroom on the main level where there are fewer people. The ringing stops halfway there, but he calls me again right after. Mariano and Jax wait for me outside the door. I manage to answer the call the second time just as I enter the bathroom. 

"Hi, Seb—"

"Gab! Thank god you answered. I've been trying to reach you."

"Sorry, I'm out at the moment and there's no signal in the basement."

"Out? Basement? Where are you?" He sounds worried.

I explain to him where I'm at and what I'm doing here. And the whole time I speak to him, I hear the concern in his voice. It squeezes my heart. I miss Sebastian. He's only a few years older than me, unlike Gael who is ten years older, but I've always been close to my brothers. And they're very protective of me.
