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 86 - Gabriella (3)

I squeal and jump onto him, looping my arms around his neck and squeezing him tight. "Thank you! You're the best!"

He chuckles, catching me by the waist. "Anything for you, sweetheart."

Leaning up, I graze my lips on the shell of his ear and whisper in a low and raspy tone, "Later, I'll Do ANYTHING for you," that makes him hum in appreciation, his fingers digging into my skin.

Mariano looks at me with those half-lidded, smoldering eyes. He leans down until our lips are a hair's breadth away. "Oh, you're gonna be in trouble."

We're about to kiss when Maria, one of my bottle girls, calls me from behind. "Excuse me, Gabby? We're ready for you."

He shoots her with a silent but deadly stare, and then his lips find mine. I hear Maria gasp and scurry away behind me. He kisses me fiercely as if he's sucking the life out of me and I'm letting him.

I laugh, smacking his chest weakly. "This is why they say you're scary behind your back."
