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 58 - Gabriella (1)

"You keep wanting to show me something these days. What is it this time?" I ask as we step out of the restaurant. I have to say, Mariano has got me curious.

"You'll see when we get there." He nods at Enzo from across the street before shifting his gaze to me and then looking at my feet. "Are you sure you're okay to walk in those heels? We can drive there."

I follow his stare. My toes are painted red and they look pretty with my gold heels. I like the fact that even though my footwear added to my height, he's still taller than me. "How far is it?"

"About two blocks away."

"Hmm… I can walk. I'm so full, I feel like I'd fall asleep if I keep sitting." As much as I enjoyed our dinner tonight, I wanted to stand as soon as we were done. I wanted to move. It's cold tonight, but nothing that I can't handle. I put on my coat and I'm already warmer.

"Alright. Let me know if you get tired." He ties my coat for me and then takes my hand again.
