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 93 - Gabriella (3)

Reaching over the table, I grip her hand in mine and squeeze, hoping she feels my empathy. "Believe me, I understand your frustration. Once upon a time, I was in an arranged marriage too."

Her eyes go wide. "What happened?"

I wince. "Well, I ended up marrying the bastard."

She scoffs, but before she can say anything, I continue, "But that's not my point. It's that I understand how desperate you must feel. So I'll do whatever I can for you. If you think you need to run a business to delay it for as long as you can, I'm your girl. If you need to run, I'll help you escape. I'll do anything. You can count on me."

Her eyes water, but she doesn't let a single tear fall. She blinks it away and squeezes my hand. "Thank you, Gabby."

"That's what friends do."

"Hey, ladies."

We both look to the side to see Jax coming over. He's wearing his signature jeans and leather jacket attire. His blue eyes shine with mischief as he joins our small table.
