The Mafia's Chosen

Dante has built his empire on total intolerance and violence. Isabella's father is murdered in the most ruthless way, which gets Don Dante involved, and his life entangled with this young mafia's daughter. He kidnaps her, claiming his aim is to protect her from her father's murderers but it certainly does not seem like it because he is possessive and won't let her go! Isabella is no innocent good girl either, she is more than ready to revenge her father's death and no handsome possessive devil can keep her caged, and make her sip tea while her father's murder enjoys her family's downfall! Dante and Isabella's life has to change, in a way that has them reeling with emotion, lust, passion, and dark secrets, and surely nothing will ever be the same again for the both of them.

Isabella

I open my eyes. The sun illuminates so brightly that I can barely see. I raise my hand to cover my eyes and inadvertently jerk on the IV tube. What the hell? As soon as my eyes get accustomed to the light, I take a careful look around. All the equipment around me suggests I am in a hospital.

What has happened? Then it strikes me—Dante was… My heart starts racing, and all the devices surrounding me begin whining. A doctor appears in the room, followed by a nurse and Gabrielle.

I noticed Gabrielle and started crying. Wracked by great sobs, I can't say a word. I cough, sputter, and choke, waving my arms in panic. The door opens and a figure appears on the threshold: Dante.

He passes everyone and falls to his knees next to me, taking my hand and snuggling his face against it, looking at me with eyes filled with fear and exhaustion.

"I'm sorry," he whispers. "I—"

I put my hand against his lips.
