THE BRATVA’S BRIDE
“In a world of ruthless mafia rivalries, the Italian mafia, La Famiglia De Luca, has been embroiled in a brutal five-year war with the Mexican mafia, La Mano Roja (The Red Hand). Desperate for an advantage, Capo Ivan De Luca forges an unlikely alliance with the feared Russian Bratva, led by the powerful Pakhan Sergei Morozov. But at a steep price: his daughter's hand in marriage to the Pakhan's ruthless grandson, the future Pakhan.
Meet Mikhail Morozov, a half-Russian, half-Cuban mafia heir with ice in his veins and blood on his hands. He rules with silence and steel, trusting no one and loving none. Raised in brutality, Mikhail believes emotions are liabilities and mercy is weakness.
And Donatella De Luca, the sharp-tongued and fiercely independent second daughter of Capo Ivan De Luca. With a quick wit and sharp mind, she navigates the complex world of the De Luca famiglia with confidence and poise. When the Pakhan chooses Donatella as the bride, a complex web of loyalty, power, and forbidden love is set in motion. Will Donatella’s strength be enough to tame the devil, or will Mikhail cold heart consume her?”

Chapter: CHAPTER 116Ava’s POVMonday morning began with Damien sitting quietly at the breakfast table.I was helping him get ready for school when I noticed he had barely touched his food.“Sweetheart, are you okay?”He looked up at me. “I don’t feel too well, Mummy.”My heart tightened.“What’s wrong? Does your stomach hurt?”He shook his head. “I just feel tired.”I immediately remembered Miranda’s call. Damien’s blood condition. The possibility that something could go wrong as he grew older.I crouched beside him and touched his forehead.“You don’t feel hot. But we’ll go to the hospital after I come back from work, okay? The doctor will check you.”“Do I have to go to school?”“I know you don’t feel like going, but if you feel worse, tell your teacher immediately. I’ll come and get you.”He nodded.I wanted to keep him home, but I had a board meeting at Cross Industries that morning. I told myself I would take him for a checkup as soon as work was over.After dropping him off, I drove to the office w

Chapter: Chapter 115Ava’s POV“Hello, Ava,” Dr. Miranda Kane said. “It’s been a while.”I frowned at my phone. “Dr. Kane? Is everything okay?”“Not exactly. I need to discuss something important concerning Damien.”My heart skipped.“Damien? What happened to him?”“Nothing has happened yet. But there’s something about his health you need to know.”I gripped my phone tighter. “What is it?”“I’ll send you a picture. Open it when it arrives.”A message appeared on my screen a moment later. It was a view-once image.I tapped it.A medical report filled my screen. I tried to read it quickly, but the image disappeared before I could study every detail.“Dr. Kane, what was that? I couldn’t read everything.”“It was Damien’s medical report,” she replied calmly. “He has a rare blood-cell disorder. It was detected when he was younger, and although it hasn’t caused serious symptoms, it could become more dangerous as he grows. He may eventually need specialized transfusions.”I stood still.“Wait. What disorder? Why

Chapter: CHAPTER 114Dr. Miranda Kane’s POVI stared at the stack of bills on my desk, wondering how much longer I could keep pretending everything was under control.The hospital was struggling.Two suppliers had refused to deliver essential equipment until we cleared our outstanding payments. The staff had been asking about their salaries, and the hospital’s management had started discussing which departments could be cut back.I had spent years building this place. I couldn’t stand the thought of watching it fall apart.My phone rang.It was my daughter’s school.“Good afternoon, Dr. Kane,” the woman on the other end said. “We’re calling to remind you that your daughter’s outstanding fees are due this week.”I closed my eyes briefly.“I know. I’ll make the payment as soon as I can.”“We understand, ma’am, but we need to settle the account before the next term.”“I said I’ll pay it.”I ended the call and stared at my phone.Being a single mother meant every responsibility rested on my shoulders.

And Liam is getting engaged tonight.”Stacy paused behind me. “This is either going to be very interesting or very painful.”I let out a tired breath. “I didn’t know it was Liam’s engagement party when Sebastian invited me. If I had known, I would have refused.”“But now you’ve accepted,” Elena said.“He planned everything. I can’t just turn him down at the last minute.” I glanced at myself in the mirror. “Besides, Liam will be busy with Genevieve and the guests. He probably won’t even notice me.”Stacy gave me a look. “Ava, you know that’s not true.”I didn’t answer.They stepped back to admire their work.

And now she is trapped in his world.

Chapter: CHAPTER 16: RICARDO’S POV RICARDO’S POVThe week crawls by like a test I never agreed to take.My father’s words still echo in my head.You’ll escort Valentina to the Falconeri Gala. No arguments.So here I am, in a perfectly pressed suit, waiting for a woman I don’t want beside me.She walks down the stairs like she’s descending a runway, perfume thick enough to choke the air.“Don’t you look handsome,” she purrs. “Almost like you’re excited to see me.”“Don’t flatter yourself,” I mutter, adjusting my cufflinks.She laughs, looping her arm through mine before I can move. “Relax, Ricky. It’s just one night.”Yeah. One night too long.Matteo spots me from across the hall, his smirk all teeth.He leans close as we walk out. “Still pretending you don’t care?”“About what?” I snap.He raises a brow. “About who, you mean.”I glare at him. “Drop it.”He doesn’t. “You know your father’s not stupid. He’s watching. So whatever you’re doing with her—”“I’m not doing anything.”He laughs under his breath. “You keep tel

Chapter: CHAPTER 15: AURORA’S POVThe next morning feels heavier than usual.The house is quiet, but not peaceful — the kind of silence that hides tension beneath it.I sit at the breakfast table, staring at the untouched cup of coffee in front of me.Maria moves around the kitchen like always, humming under her breath, but even that feels forced. She keeps glancing toward the hallway like she’s expecting someone to walk in.He doesn’t.Ricardo hasn’t shown up. Not a word. Not even a message.I scroll through my phone again, pretending I’m checking the time. Nothing.Elena texts me some random meme about school drama, Chiara asks if I’m coming to class, but the one name I want to see isn’t there.I can still feel him , his touch, his breath, the way his voice went soft when he said my name. It’s like it’s imprinted under my skin. And now… nothing. Like he vanished.Maria clears her throat softly. “Miss Aurora? Should I bring your plate?”I blink. “No, I’m fine. I’m not really hungry.”She hesitates before nodding. “Mr

Chapter: CHAPTER 14: AURORA’S POV The morning light hits different after a night like that.Soft. Golden. Quiet.Almost like the universe is pretending nothing happened.I blink awake to the sound of my alarm, my body still humming with the memory of him. My sheets smell faintly like cologne and something wilder…Ricardo.For a moment, I lie still, staring at the ceiling.Did I dream it?His hands. His voice. The way he whispered my name like it was a sin he wanted to keep repeating.No. I didn’t dream it.He was here.My heart stutters just thinking about it.He came through the window like some kind of trouble I couldn’t resist. Said nothing for a while—just looked at me with those dark eyes, as if I belonged to him. And I didn’t stop him.I should’ve. I didn’t.Now, the memory burns under my skin, impossible to scrub off.The door creaks open suddenly, snapping me back to reality.Maria, the housemaid, pokes her head in. “Miss Aurora? Breakfast is ready.”I sit up quickly, pulling the blanket up to my chest. “I’ll b

Chapter: CHAPTER 13 : RICARDO POV The text leaves my phone before I can stop myself.Look out your window.I don’t know what I expect. Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. But when her light flickers on a few seconds later and I see her shadow move behind the curtain, it’s like every thought I’ve tried to bury claws its way back up.She pulls the curtain aside, and our eyes lock through the glass. Her face is soft, sleepy, confused and still, she looks like the only thing that’s real.“Aurora,” I whisper, barely audible. She shakes her head slowly, mouthing, What are you doing here?I motion for her to open the window. For a heartbeat, she hesitates. Then, with trembling hands, she unlatches it. The sound of the frame sliding open feels louder than it should.“What are you—Ricardo, you can’t be here,” she whispers.I push myself up and climb through before she can stop me. My shoes hit the floor with a dull thud, and for a second, all I can hear is her breathing.She’s in an oversized shirt, her hair loose around her face

Chapter: CHAPTER 12 : AURORA’S POVThe sunlight cuts through my curtains before I’m ready for it. I pull the blanket higher, pretending the world doesn’t exist. My body feels heavy, like I’ve run miles in a dream I can’t escape.The memories flicker back no matter how hard I try to push them away Ricardo’s breath, his voice, his touch on my body, the way my pulse lost rhythm.I should hate him. Or at least hate myself for letting it happen.Instead, I just feel… hollow.I drag myself out of bed and into the shower, hoping the water will wash it all away. It doesn’t. The heat only brings it back the closeness, the sound of my name on his lips.I grip the edge of the sink and stare at my reflection. My eyes look different, darker. It’s like something shifted inside me last night and I can’t turn it off.“He’s your stepbrother,” I whisper. “Stop this.”My voice shakes.By the time I get to campus, I’m forcing a smile I don’t feel. Chiara waves from across the courtyard, her voice too bright for the ache in my chest.“F

Chapter: CHAPTER 11: RICARDO’S POVThree days.That’s how long Aurora had been avoiding me.Three days of cold breakfasts, quiet hallways, and a tension I could feel through the walls of the mansion.She’d stop talking when I entered a room, leave a second before I did, and never look at me long enough for it to mean anything.Tonight, that silence was ending.I stood by the doorway of her room, pretending I wasn’t waiting. We were supposed to go to Matteo’s house—some team party that his father’s staff had set up in their villa outside Palermo. Everyone would be there: Valentina, Dario, the whole loud crowd that called itself a family.And her.The door opened.For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Aurora stepped out in a short black dress that didn’t belong to any world I could protect her from. Her hair was down, soft around her shoulders, eyes lined in a way that made her look older, untouchable.“You’re staring,” she said flatly.“Can you blame me?”“You should stop.”“I’ve tried.”Her mouth tightened, but she br
