MAFIA BRIDE
Beneath the cover of a decent society lurks a hidden world, a world of darkness ruled by blood, betrayal and greed. But in this dark Mafia world, years of war and turmoil have left many crime families in ruin and on the brink of extinction, and among them is the once mighty Lorenzo family.
Born into this world of blood and power is the beautiful Isabella Lorenzo… born and raised from childhood to obey and serve, in a world where women were nothing but currency for power and alliance. When her aging father, Don Antonio Lorenzo begins to lose his grip on the remains of his once powerful empire, Isabella is forced to become a pawn in a last ditch alliance: a contract marriage to Luca Bastoni, the deadly and emotionless heir of the rival Moretti syndicate.
To the outside world, their union is a merging of wealth and influence, but beneath it lies a fragile bundle of chaos waiting to erupt. Luca is every bit a mafia prince… ruthless and power hungry, while his wife Isabella is a beauty who buries her pain under loyalty to her father.
However, there is an undeniable attraction between Luca and Isabella, but years of bad blood between both families make trust an impossible dream… they may share a bed, but not a soul.
Unknown to Isabella, the Morettis have no intention of keeping their part of the bargain… Their marriage is only a cover for annihilation.

Chapter: Chapter 5: A call from the past. Chapter 5It had been three weeks since the masquerade ball, but the memory of that one night of fire between her and the stranger was the peak. She had snuck out of the hotel in the early hours of the morning, while he slept like a happy baby. There had been a strong temptation to peek under his mask, but she had resisted… it was better they never met again, not with the kind of dominion he had over her body.But here she was now, three weeks later with a pregnancy test kit in her hands, her pulse pounding feverishly. She watched as the lines began to form… and the plus sign yet again… positive.It had to be a mistake, she kept telling herself. Maybe the first three kits were defective, maybe this one as well… but deep in her heart she knew the truth. The symptoms were not a lie… the constant nausea, the exhaustion she had started experiencing lately which wasn't natural… She was pregnant.She looked at herself in the mirror, clutching her stomach as the realization began to dawn on

Chapter: Chapter 4: Night of the masquerade Elena Romano showed up to the ball in style. She arrived in a sexy, black gown that hugged her figures like a dangerous secret. Her hair was perfectly styled, flowing over her shoulders in shiny waves of black. As she stepped into the ballroom, there was a sudden silence, quickly followed by hushed murmurs and whispers of both admiration and envy.Giovanni Tarini smiled delightfully when he set his eyes on her, abandoning the group he had been discussing with just to welcome her.“Signora Romano! My God, you are absolutely gorgeous. If you had no intention of attracting attention tonight, I'm afraid you've failed miserably,” he chuckled, kissing her outstretched hand like a perfect gentleman, and offering her a drink from a passing tray.She gave him a polite smile, blushing deeply as she accepted the glass. “That wasn’t my intention signore Giovanni, but I’ll take the compliment.”“Eyes of admiration from the men, flames of envy from the women,” Giovanni said with dramatic flair. “Th

Chapter: Chapter 3: A New Beginning Two years later…Elena Romano stood in the center of her private gallery, a far cry from the woman she used to be. For two years she had carefully rebuilt her life, thriving far away from a chaos she had refused to remember.In this new world of hers, she was Elena Romano, a successful art dealer, cultured, mysterious, with a tragic story of widowhood that she always never explained in detail. No one ever questioned further, and her she allowed the past to rest in peace. Her eye for art spoke for her, and in Rome’s elite society where she hid in plain sight, silence covered in elegance was a language everyone respected.She was giving a private tour to one of her wealthiest clients… Giovanni Tarini, a real estate mogul with a known weakness for impressive art, and dangerous appetite for beautiful women.“This piece is magnificent signora,” Giovanni said, stopping in front of a beautiful oil painting of a Sicilian coastline at dusk, “it’s breathtaking… dark, and almost tragic.”Elena c

Chapter: chapter 2: Punishment and Flight Punishment in the Mafia world knew no mercy. There were no second chances, no do-overs, only judgement.Don Antonio Lorenzo, once a powerful lion in their brutal mafia jungle, now stood at the gallows like an expired good waiting to be discarded. His bloody face still carried his proud and defiant look, unaware that his legacy had been wiped out the night before. He caught Isabella's eyes in the crowd, weeping heavily, surrounded by her in-laws the Morettis… the same bloodsuckers who had betrayed him and condemned him to this fate.Isabella squeezed her purse tighter, clenching her teeth until her jaw hurt. The tears were flowing freely, and her body was quaking vigorously as the executioner placed the noose around her father's neck. Behind them were the council elders of the Internal Mafia Council… silent and grim, obviously not enjoying the morbid spectacle before then. She knew what they were thinking… it could easily be any one of them in that condition, that was the harsh reality

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Betrayal. The call came just after midnight.Isabella Lorenzo… now Moretti by marriage, was busy pouring herself a well earned glass of wine after another long day tolerating her new family. As she eased herself gently into the couch, her phone lit up and started vibrating.“Should have put you on DND” she muttered in annoyance as she reached for the phone.It was an nknown number, and she didn't usually fancy answering unknown numbers. Her instincts however kept pushing, and she eventually took the call.“Isabella Moretti?” a deep voice asked.She paused. Nobody had called her by her maiden name in the last three months since she got married.“Yes. Who is this?”There was a small pause before the caller finally spoke again. “Your father has been arrested, and the council has summoned a trial tonight. Your immediate attendance is required, good day.”The line went dead before she could even ask a question. How could this be possible, what could they possibly have against her father. She had to
