The Fall Of A Made Man (Book 1 Of The Fallen Gods Series)
Made men are trained to conceal their emotions if they have one, while those who have no empathy or emotions left in them after years of training are blessed.
But what could be the downfall of a Made man?
Perhaps, could it be the feeling of humanity?
***********
Vincenzo Salvatore De Luca, the eldest son of the Bratva, a Made man, feared by all, except his arranged bride, Ava Morales.
Ava, the daughter of a businessman, whose father borrowed money from the Bratva and was unable to pay it back. In exchange for the debt he owed, he gave his daughter out for marriage to the Bratva.
Among all three sons of the Bratva, Vincenzo accepted to marry Ava, not because of love, but because she intrigued him and he wanted to see how much he could break her.
But what happens when he begins to feel some stir in his chest at the sight of his wife?
What happens then, when he sees his wife flirting with other men and his vision is clouded red and filled with the need to chop off the fingers of the man flirting with his wife?

Chapter: A hundred million dollars AVA’S POVIf Vincenzo was expecting me to reply him with a ‘yes’ he must be kidding.It’d be a cold day in hell if I admit I was indeed a virgin, who has never been touched by a man. A scoff rumbled out of my chest as I folded my hands beneath my chest, trying hard not to acknowledge his presence behind me. “You expect me to be untouched? In this 21st century?” I walked further away from him, while trying to make my point clear. “C’mon now, Hubby.”Turning half-way around, I stared into his eyes and for a second, I had no idea if I was tripping, but I saw a flash of anger in his eyes.It disappeared the second it appeared. “In layman terms, I’m not a virgin. I have fucked hot guys who are way more hotter than you could ever be.”His jaw ticked, but a dark smile stretched on his lips. “So you’re acknowledging I’m hot, yeah?”“If that helps you sleep at night.” I proceeded to plop on the bed in my shorts and a shirt I stole from Vincenzo’s walk-in closet.“Since you’re not what you seem

Chapter: Has any fucker ever touched you?VINCENZO’S POVIgnoring whatever made him smile, I grabbed my phone and walked out of my home office.The hallway was dark and the staff might have probably gone to bed.Halfway through the hall, my phone rang and upon checking who it was, turned out to be the Bratva.“Bratva.” I picked up the call, pressing it against my ear.“I heard about what occurred at the reception. Is your wife okay?” He asked and I almost chuckled.I haven’t checked up on her since our arrival and I didn’t intend to. She has been thrusted into a world of guns, blood, and revenge, so she either fits in or gets herself killed.“She’s fine.” “Don’t forget to consummate your marriage tonight, Vincenzo and bring the evidence over to the clan. The other members of our clan would be waiting to see.”With that said, the old man hung up, leaving me speechless.I have been surprised too many times today and I wouldn’t wish for that shit to happen ever again.First it was some fucker trying to hack into my company’s fi

Chapter: A hacker is trying to break into his firewalls VINCENZO’S POVSitting behind a mahogany desk in my home office, I typed against the keyboard of the laptop in front of me. And on the screen were merchandise which would be coming from Ireland to Russia.The sudden ringing of my phone made me halt for a second and then I grabbed the phone lying on the desk and picked the call.At first, there was silence, as if the person from the other end was hesitating to speak.I didn’t have the whole damn time in the world to listen to his silence.“How about you get the fuck out of my phone and never call me again?” My brows creased, anger warming its way into my chest.“Bosss…” After the trembling voice came whimpers filled with fear.My fingers halted on the keyboard and I leaned against the swivel chair and exhaled. “Maverick. What is it?”“Okay, Boss. Here is the thing….” He paused again and exhaled. The sound filtering into my ear through the phone.If Maverick, the security leader in charge of my security company, was right in front of me,

Chapter: Life mission (1)AVA’S POVI slammed my lips shut after Vincenzo’s words.There wasn’t a need for argument, if anything, I just had to stay silent and pretend like I believed him.Trusting a Made man like Vincenzo De Luca was no other than preparing a grave for one’s self.…….The car drove into the thick of the night, and the only light illuminating in the dark road happened to be the car’s headlights.I was tempted.Tempted to ask if we hadn’t gotten to what seemed to be his home. The place which would become a home for me too.But that could only get my ass in trouble, so I said nothing and stared out of the car’s window as the chilled air of the night slammed into my face.“Matteo, roll up the window.” Vincenzo commanded and the driver did as he was told, not caring if I was staring out the window or not.“I need the fresh air, roll down the window!” Of all things I was good at, shutting my mouth wasn’t one of them.“You will catch a cold.” Vincenzo’s nonchalant deep voice rumbled out his chest,

Chapter: Blood bath (3)AVA’S POVFear, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced made my skin crawl and my heart lodged in my throat.Vincenzo pulled the trigger. He did. He wanted to have me killed, wasn’t that his intention?But why was I still alive? Why was I hearing the sound of my heartbeat drumming in my ears, loud and clear? I was lost in trance, lost in a world of my own with the sound of my heartbeat the only thing I could hear and feel.But, then again, it lasted only for a few seconds before a voice filled with whimper and pain pulled me out. Rough and harsh without any care.“I…won’t die alone, Vincenzo.” The voice muttered, his voice trembling and filled with so much anguish and resentment. “I must kill your wife. I have to carry out my duty assigned to me by the Italian Mafia.”After the voice, came a hand, filled with blood reaching out to me.Fear shot through my spine as I instinctively crawled backwards, away from the red hand covered in blood.“You should carry out the job in hell, Fucker.

Chapter: The Italian mob and IAVA’S POVIt made me wonder if this man ever smiles or had a reason to in his life.“I live with a man who had businesses with dangerous underworld bosses and you expect me not to know how to curse?” A dry chuckle rumbled out of my chest.I was seriously out of my mind. After everything that has happened, it wouldn’t be normal if I didn’t lose my mind.“You’re too innocent to curse..” Vincenzo walked past his brother and me, heading to the entrance door, his phone in his left hand.“Just give it a few minutes, Vincenzo, you’d be down on the ground, fighting unconsciousness.” I gritted, clutching onto my ridiculously huge ball gown.I just wanted to be out of the uncomfortable dress and in the comfort of my bed, where I belong, not in this blood bath with my new husband, who is a killer, A Made man and a soon-to-be Bratva.Everything felt too real to be a dream, so I didn’t count it as one, but I just wished everything could go back in time to when the De Luca Mafia family had no busi

Chapter: Chapter 23Mo’s PovTonight, I was Daren.My stomach churned, the walls cramping with excitement and a subtle hint of anxiousness. I have spent nights watching Daren do this; he had done them effortlessly so it felt like it was a walk in the park.But here I was, hanging off the tree branch, thinking of how long I would hold before the guard discovered me.You might be wondering where I am headed. Well, I thought it was time to be daring, break a rule and see just how it feels to be rebellious. I was going to the party, and Radek had told me he would pick me up.But what I hadn’t taken into consideration was the fact that each night the guards change routines. It was a tactic my father had implemented, after the last surprise rogue attack. They had studied us, knew the right moment to attack.And that had been a flaw in our system, in my father’s eyes, he had failed the pack.Tonight, while I skilfully evaded the cameras, and crawled up the tree, I hadn’t considered that a few guards would want

Chapter: Chapter 22Daren’s PovMonique was one puzzle that had a piece missing. You might want to drop it out of rage, but curiosity and love for the unknown just make you hang around. The missing piece or hidden piece is the one held by our father.I had heard the ending bit of the conversation, the anger in his voice when he knew she hadn’t been practising like she should. Beta Mark, the man had a twisted obsession with her. It irked me that there was nothing I could do yet.I was the next in line alpha, but until I sat on the throne, I was a rank below him.My eyes burned in anger as I glared at the phone, wondering what I would do to get her to talk to me. She wasn’t picking up my calls, but Radek had mentioned that they spoke for a minute.The guilt I felt slowly winded down, Radek had a way of making sure that he brought people out of their shells, and I was hoping that he would do the same to Monique.She was my sister, but goddess, the girl barely cracked a smile, conforming herself to something

Chapter: Chapter 21Radek’s PovI could tell the minute she picked up the phone that something was wrong with her. But that didn’t deter me from trying to cheer her up.Just as I ended the call, the door opened, and Abby stood by it with a frown on her face. “What do you want?”“I can’t walk into your room?”“Abby, what do you need?” I asked, and I was still angry at the fact that she had interrupted the moment I had with Monique in the garden.She heaved a sigh, “Look, I don’t understand what is going on between us, I just want us to be back to what we were,”She looked sad, eyes gleaming with tears as she said the words.My chest clenched, this was never my intention. I can’t believe that she felt that way.“Sorry about that… the week has just been crazy,”She smiled, jumping onto the bed, “You wouldn’t believe the day that I had,”I dropped my phone by the corner, staring at her as she narrated the story of the crazy day she had experienced, and I found myself wondering what it was like talking to Mon

Chapter: Chapter 20Mo’s PovMy fingers trembled, knuckles aching and raw. It wasn’t the pain from skin hitting skin that made me feel sick, it was the dangerous sensation that I felt as I drew blood.The hollowness in my chest, doubled with the constant echoing of my father’s words slamming hard in my head.The echoes of their cheers echoed through my ears and hung around me like a heavy smoke scent. I had won, saving the girl in record time.But the victory felt far-fetched. I could do all this and still be seen as nothing in his eyes.The water dripped down my body washing away the turmoil of the day. If he were here, he would have judged every move that I made.Of course, he wouldn't do it in front of everyone. He would smile, clap, a perfect show for his people and the minute the door is closed, he would react.Tell me everything that I did wrong.I kept my gaze stuck to the ground, I couldn’t bear to look at the cracked reflection that I would see in the mirror, the one thing that would tell me the

Chapter: Chapter 19Mo’s povMy mind has turned into a warzone, a constant battle of acceptance and a daunting realisation.I had enjoyed his company, and inched closer into trying to kiss him.If the call didn’t come through what would have happened?“We are here,”I blinked, looking around in shock, I hadn’t paid attention to the road we were going on.“Monique, I was…”“Thank you for bringing me home,”I didn’t wait to hear his response, my feet moved faster than I thought they could, running down the street away from him and everything that had to do with him.The minute I walked through the gate, my body felt crippled with the weight of shame. No matter how hard I tried to stop the thoughts, I couldn’t hold myself back from thinking about the disdain that would be on my father’s face if he caught a whiff of this.I scurried past the training arena, guilt banging at the back of my mind. Ever since he and Daren left, I haven’t set foot on this ground.I was betraying him, I knew that.Almost like he c

Chapter: Chapter 18Radek’s PovIt was rare, I was here and I remembered it.“Yes,”I would have screamed over the mountain at her words, but I knew that if I made any sudden movement, she would clamp up and shut down on me intently.“You will?” I asked, my voice dripping with disbelief.She rolled her eyes, picking up a flower to avoid my gaze. I noticed that she hated having attention on her, and shies away from being seen.“Don’t make me change my mind,” she hissed.“No, no, you already said yes, you can’t go back on your word now,” I said, smirking in excitement.I didn’t understand why her acceptance filled me with so much joy. And lately didn’t care to ask questions anymore. I just learned to enjoy the feeling.“When is the party?” she asked.“Why are you asking?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. She was trying to find a way to go back on her words, I knew that much. I could see it in her eyes.“Well, I need to mentally prepare myself for what is about to come,” she sighed.“Tomorrow night,” I re
