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 50: Fault LinesLong after night had fallen around the estate with an ominous silence, Isabella stood alone at the far end of the east corridor, just outside the small sitting room that overlooked the gardens. There was very little light here, and she had chosen this spot carefully because it was far from Luca's study and the prying eyes of his guards.Her phone rang again for the millionth time, and she swore horribly within her as she stared at Dante's name on the screen. She let it ring out once more, then lifted the phone to her ear.“Are you insane?” she snapped the moment she answered, struggling to keep her voice down even though she was alone. “What part of don’t call me repeatedly did you not understand?”Dante on the other hand didn’t even bother pretending to be calm.“I’ve been calling you all day,” he snapped back at her. “Do you have any idea what that looks like?”“What does it look like?” she shot back. “What it only looks like from my end is you trying to get me killed.”Dante seemed

Chapter: CHAPTER 49: Fault LinesIt was another sunny afternoon. Luca had taken the day off from work to meet up with Isabella's doctor's appointment, and they were now having lunch at home.She felt relaxed and completely at home, which was surprising to her since she was supposed to be on a mission. It was even more surprising that she was wearing one of Luca's oversized shirts again, and she made no conscious effort to hide how happy she was to be spending time with him.Riccardo however was livid as he watched their romantic gestures, and even his food refused to go down correctly. His eyes kept darting back and forth between Luca and Isabella with visible irritation, and every quiet laugh they shared between them felt like they were mocking his presence.Luca, for his part, wasn't even helping matters. He seemed entirely uninterested in anything else except Isabella.He kept touching her hand unnecessarily, and his tone was very low and conspiratorial as if they were sharing secrets that didn't concern him.

Chapter: CHAPTER 48: Lines Drawn in BloodWhen morning came reluctantly to the Moretti estate, Riccardo was the first non-staff member of the household to get out of bed.He stood outside the main guest room, fuming and he lifted his hand to knock. He had gone to Luca's bedroom first, only to be told by Isabella that he had spent the night in the guest room.So Luca had left his huge bedroom for Isabella and slept in the guest room? Was he that far gone?When there was no response after his third knock, Riccardo actually began to bang angrily on the door, and this actually did the trick.Luca’s voice finally came, distracted and distant. “Come in. The door isn't locked.”Riccardo pushed the door open to see Luca seated lazily on the bed, with his injured shoulder carefully shielded as he focused all his attention on his phone.He didn't even pretend to look at Riccardo.Riccardo hesitated, clearly irritated by the whole thing before he forced it down. This wasn’t the time for ego. He had come here for a reason…to do something

Chapter: CHAPTER 47: Caught In The Middle.
Isabella sat at the edge of the mattress, holding her clothes to her chest and staring blankly at the door. Her rapid heartbeat still refused to slow down long after Luca had left. If anything, it had only grown louder and more insistent, drumming against her ribs like a warning she didn't want to hear.She should have been relieved about the whole encounter. Luca had actually stopped himself. He had walked away from the temptation. He had done the responsible thing…the honorable thing.So why did it feel like a loss?She sighed and pushed to her feet, moving towards the bathroom where she hoped a cold shower would shake him away from her thoughts. But it was already looking impossible…Every step she took still echoed with fragments of him…his restraint, his words, and the way his eyes had darkened when he pulled away.You deserve to choose me with a clear mind. When the hell did he become so damn noble?Her phone vibrated on the bed, and she almost jumped out of her skin. Could it b

Chapter: CHAPTER 46: The Distance After Wanting.The moment their lips made contact, something in Isabella immediately seemed to snap back into place.She stepped away abruptly, eyes wide as if she had just surfaced from deep water. The music still played around them, the applause had long faded, but she couldn't register any of it. All she could feel was the echo of his mouth on hers…warm, sure, and devastating.“I…” She stopped, pressing her palm lightly to her lips as if she could physically push the sensation away. “We should go home, Luca.”Luca didn’t reach for her, and that alone surprised her even more.He simply searched her face. There was obvious disappointment in his eyes, but he didn’t argue or tease her. Neither did he demand an explanation. He simply nodded slowly, as if he already understood something she didn't know.“Alright,” he said quietly.The gentleness of that agreement unsettled her more than resistance ever could have, and she suddenly found herself wishing for the ground to open up and swallow her.They le

Chapter: CHAPTER 45: May I Have This Dance?The air was alive when they arrived at the spot Luca had talked about…thick with music, laughter, and heat. Salsa rhythms flowed through the room like a living heartbeat, vibrant and unapologetic. The lights were low and warm as expected, casting everything in a seductive glow that felt deliberately intoxicating. It was nothing like the polished restaurants or the serene environments she was used to. This place was wild, expressive, and completely unrestrained.And to her own shock, she actually liked it.“You still have time to change your mind,” Luca said with a cheeky smile as he caught the admiration on her face.She laughed out loud, and the sound startled her as much as it amused him.“Don’t get carried away,” she said, hiding the surprise with a sarcastic tone. “I just didn’t expect you to know a place like this.”He looked very pleased with himself and replied with quiet satisfaction. “I know many places you wouldn’t expect, Bella.”“That sounds like a threat,” she replied, ge
