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.

Epilogue - Mariano (3)

Riri is still protesting as I take out my phone and call Boots who answers on the first ring. "Clear the back door and bring the car around. We're leaving." There's no way I'm letting her walk through the madness downstairs with all the booze and tobacco in the air.

Riri is still whining that I'm being dramatic as I pick up her purse from her desk, take her hand and walk her out of there. We go out of the club through the back door, passing by as little chaos as possible. And once we're outside in the cold night air, I breathe easier.

I'm about to usher her toward the backseat of the SUV when she stops and pulls on my hand. "I want to walk for a bit."

My brows draw together. "There's pollution."

"What pollution?" She looks around. "There are barely any cars around and there are no factories nearby."

I clear my throat. "Noise pollution."

She snorts. "Oh, please. I live and breathe Delirium for years now. What noise?"
