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 (3)

My men come bursting out the door—Delirium's back door—in the wall behind the Latino with their guns drawn to his head.

I smirk. "And you're outnumbered."

He freezes for a moment as if he's contemplating—meanwhile, Victor and the other guy are still brawling behind me. The Latino seems to have decided that he will fight back because he turns around and raises his knife above his head. Carmelo shoots him between the eyes, the gunshot ringing in the air. He falls to the ground with a thud.

Ah, shit. Someone would've definitely heard that. If they know what's good for them, they'll keep their mouths shut.

"Rico!!!" Someone screams. I glance behind me just as Victor subdues the man he was fighting with to the ground. I don't know the stalkers, but judging by his cries, they must've been tight.
