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 77 - Gabriella

I barely saw Mariano in the next few days since he came back home on Monday night. He left early in the morning, we don't even get to eat breakfast together anymore. He's also been down in the dungeon a lot. I  don't know what's going on, but I heard they captured someone who was sent to kill him. He acted like it was no big deal, but I feared for the day that he'd get hurt…or worse.

I went back to work at the club to occupy myself. It's what Mariano suggested to keep my mind off of things, but he makes it a point to pick me up after and drive me home before going back out. It did help, but I still worry about my family in New York. 

Mariano thinks our lives are in danger at the moment, so he never leaves without his guards and neither do I, though my trips have only been home to Delirium and vice versa.

With everything that's been going on, I'm just glad that he comes home alive—sometimes with a cut or two, but alive.
