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 91 - Gabriella (2)

Standing a little more confidently, I level him with my own serious gaze. I hope he sees that I'm trying to save us all—even though doing this might still end up with another mistake.

I don't know if it's right. However, right now, I feel in my heart that this is what I need to do.

"We're ending this," I say.

"It's why we're here, sweetheart. To end it," he answers with a hint of ingenuine patience, his teeth grinding.

"I meant we're ending all of this ridiculous and never-ending cycle of vengeance. We got married because of that, didn't we? It ends with us."

His jaw ticks and he doesn't answer. I turn to face Duke whose wide gape is laced with both fury and confusion as he stares at me. It's the first time we've met, but I've heard about him from Mariano and I don't know what he's heard about me, but I'm guessing he didn't expect a De Luca to jump in front of a gun for him.
