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 20 - Mariano (2)

I've had such a long fucking day. All I want is to lie down and sleep. But as I uncuff my sleeves and walk deeper into the house, I hear laughter coming from the living room.

I check my watch. It's almost midnight. It's usually quiet at this hour and none of the guards are allowed inside. So I wonder who the hell is in here.

Reaching the threshold of the living room, I spot Riri, Val, and Jax lying on the carpet, the ladies on either side of him. The only lights on are the lamps on each side of the couch. There are snacks and beer bottles everywhere, and the big screen on the wall is playing Mean Girls. Don't ask me how I know what movie it is; that's not important.

What's strange is that none of them are watching the movie and yet they're snickering like something is so funny while staring at the ceiling.

Jax lazily turns his head to me and a huge grin ghosts his lips. "My man… Your wife is high as a kite."
