The Consequential Bride Of the Mafia Lord
"I'm not going to marry you, and that's final"
His gaze darkened, causing my heart to plummet deep down my stomach.
"I don't particularly care what you want, Marcelina," he said flatly. "You walked away carrying something that belongs to me. That makes you mine until I decide otherwise."
****
Marcelina never wanted love or marriage.
She wanted a baby.
After watching her mother disappear piece by piece to a hereditary neurological disorder, she makes a desperate decision. She will have a child before the illness can claim her too.
But she will not pass the disorder on.
So, she chooses the perfect genetic candidate.
Domenico Vitali.
Powerful. Untouchable. Dangerous.
He was not a man people asked for favors. He was the kind of man they stole from... and prayed they survived.
A man Marcelina believed she could use and never see again.
One night. One calculated risk.
But she was wrong.
Because men like Domenico don't just disappear.
When he discovers the truth, he calls the shots.
"This ends one way," he tells her. "We're getting married."
The longer they are bound together, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Domenico Vitali is not who she thought he was. And as secrets begin to surface, Marcelina starts to question everything.
Did she truly trap a devil?
Or did she step into a war she never saw coming?

Chapter: Chapter 24Marcelina's POV The door clicked shut behind him.And I didn't move.I just stood there, staring at it, like if I looked hard enough, it would open again and he'd walk back in, take it all back, and say something different.But it stayed closed.My chest rose and fell slowly as his words replayed in my head, one after the other, refusing to settle."You'll have everything you need." "You've got some big debts to pay off." "Obedience..." Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen.And then—"This marriage ends once the child is born." My breath hitched.Because that one lingered the longest.I swallowed, my fingers tightening slightly at my sides as I tried to process it. Tried to make sense of it. Slowly, almost without realizing it, I started counting.Months. Weeks. How long that would take.Eight months.Maybe less, depending on...I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand down my face.God.If he had just said that from the beginning—if he had been clear about it from the start—this whole thing

Chapter: Chapter 23Marcelina's POV My heart started pounding fast as silence crashed into the room again. It was heavy, suffocating, and I could barely think or breathe."You motherf—""I'd suggest you choose your next words very carefully, Marcelina," he said, cutting me off.The rest of the insult died in my throat as the warning settled over me. Not because I wanted to stop... but because something in his eyes told me it would be a bigger mistake if I didn't.Turning away from him, I dragged a hand through my hair and tried to steady myself, but it was useless. My thoughts were already spiraling.Marriage, honeymoon, my colleagues...God.I could already picture their faces. The whispers. The shock. The disbelief.They all knew me. They knew how I was—focused, uptight, always working, never dating. I barely even entertained conversations that weren't about work.And now suddenly, I was married?My superiors had to have been shocked, confused, or suspicious even. There was no way they weren't. They

Chapter: Chapter 22Marcelina's POVThe moment I stepped inside, my breath caught.The interior was—Stunning.Not in the warm, inviting way, but in something far more overwhelming. Marble floors stretched endlessly beneath my feet, polished to a mirror-like sheen that reflected the towering ceilings above. Massive chandeliers hung like frozen constellations, their soft golden light spilling across the room in a glow that felt almost unreal.Everything was pristine.Like no one truly lived here.My eyes moved slowly, taking it all in despite myself—the carved pillars, the intricate detailing along the walls, the sheer scale of it all. Then we reached the staircase that curved upward in a sweeping arc.Domenico didn't look back to see if I was following. But I followed anyway. And by the time we reached the second floor, I was awestruck.The marble gave way to something softer beneath my feet—rich Turkish and Persian silk rugs that stretched across the gleaming floors, their intricate patterns woven with

Chapter: Chapter 21Marcelina's POV The moment the jet doors opened, a strange feeling settled in my chest.This was it.Italy.I stepped down slowly, one foot after the other, my movements careful... almost hesitant. The air wasn't cold, but I felt cold anyway. And without thinking, I wrapped my arms around myself."It's just Italy" I told myself even as the words sounded pathetic to me. "There's nothing bad in trying somewhere new."The moment I lifted my eyes and took in my surroundings, I froze. Not because it was beautiful. But because the atmosphere felt... off.Too different.Five sleek, identical black cars were lined up neatly ahead, waiting.And the men...There were so many of them. Every single one dressed the same way—black suits, black ties, polished black shoes. Dark shades hid their eyes, and a thin wire ran from their ears, disappearing beneath their collars.They were tall, broad, intimidating, and looked... unreal. Like something straight out of a movie.My stomach coiled and a faint

Chapter: Chapter 20Marcelina's POV I didn't remember falling asleep.One second, I had been sitting there—tense, stubbornly awake, and refusing to let myself relax. And the next... everything had gone quiet.When I opened my eyes, it took a moment for anything to make sense. Then I shifted slightly and felt a warm soft blanket draped over me.My brows pulled together as I glanced down, brushing my fingers against the fabric. It wasn't something I had put on myself. I would remember that.Which meant someone else had.I exhaled slowly and lifted my gaze upward only to land on the subtle stitching along the headrest in front of me.D.V.The initials were customized into every leather like a signature. And somehow, even something that small was enough to irritate me all over again.I dragged my eyes away from it and turned slightly toward where he had been sitting. And for a second, I just stared at the vacant seat, my brows drawing together.Where did he go?Not that it mattered, but the thought came uni

Chapter: Chapter 19Domenico's POVBy the time we arrived at the private airfield, the jet was already prepped and waiting. The crew stood in position and the engines hummed low, ready for takeoff.The pilot stepped forward first, followed closely by the rest of the crew."Welcome, sir." He greeted, and they all bowed.Without so much as a glance in their direction, I walked past them in silence, my attention already elsewhere as I ascended the steps and boarded the jet.Behind me, my newlywed bride offered the crew a polite greeting before ascending the steps. I didn't look back as she followed—didn't need to. I could feel her.Tension clung to her like a second skin—sharp, volatile, and barely contained beneath the surface. It followed her up the steps, into the jet, and into the quiet space between us.She was angry.Not confused. Angry.Because I had walked into her neatly arranged life and torn through it without permission. Because I had not given her enough time to say goodbye to anything she he
