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 104 - Mariano (2)

I didn't know how badly I needed to hear that. As soon as she says that, something in me lightens. It's as if my shoulders aren't heavy anymore, as if my chest isn't tight, as if my stomach is no longer burning. The numbness is no longer there.

Tilting her face up so I can see her properly for the first time in days, I smile down at her. I miss her dark brown eyes and luscious lips, her long, smooth hair, and her beautiful face. I miss everything about her. Tucking her hair behind her ear, I cup her cheek and tell her, "I missed you." Then I kiss her on the lips and show her just how much.

She moans a long one and I don't stop until we're both breathless. But before we go any further, I break the kiss and press our foreheads together. I want to devour her, but I need to get out of this plane because Rusty's words from earlier are still echoing in my head. "You want to show me around?"
