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 67 - Gabriella (2)

"I don't know how you guys work for him, he scares the shit out of me."

The statement catches my attention and I glance over my shoulder to see a teenager, wearing a sweatshirt, jeans, and a bonnet, talking to Carmelo and Raul. They chuckle at his comment and slap his back.

"You'll get used to it, kid," says Raul, "You'll be thankful you're working for him and not the old man in the shitter. Boss is a little intense when he's working—"

"A little intense? He's bat-shit crazy! He didn't even question the guy, he barely spoke three words and just shot him point blank between the eyes!"

I'm pretty sure they're talking about Mariano. There's only one boss in this household. Was that where he was last night when he left? He was out shooting people? That doesn't surprise me, really. After all, I grew up in the same environment. But we don't talk about it, so I didn't know where he was.
