THE MAFIA'S CHRONICLES: the Dead wife's revenge.
Tied to a chair, it scraped against the concrete as Victor struggled. "Damn it, lady, I’ll give you this—you’ve got balls that even some men lack." he smiled, blood dripping from his mouth.
Celestina pulled back the slide, the metallic click echoing in the quiet room as a bullet locked into place, ready to fire.
She Pressed the gun to his head, "Are those your last words?" she asked coldly.
.......................
How do you find peace when you're married to chaos itself?
You don't. You become chaos.
What would you do if your husband who murdered you and slaughtered your family proposed marriage again, and didn't recognize you?
For Aria D'Amore, the answer is simple: marry him again, and make him pay for every drop of blood.
When Aria is forced into a peace-treaty marriage with her family's enemy, she believes the war is over. Instead, Dante Vallenis uses their wedding celebration to massacre every D'Amore, making her watch before ordering her execution. She survives, barely, and "dies" in the eyes of the world.
Eight years later, she returns as Celestina Vale, the mysterious Mistress of The Graveyard, an underground network that controls the Italian mafia through secrets and assassinations. When she manipulates her way into marrying Dante again, he doesn't recognize the stranger he's obsessed with controlling.
But as she systematically destroys his empire from within, she falls for his uncle Adrian, the one man who tried to save her that night, and the one man who harbors a secret that could shatter everything she's built.
So what will it be, love or revenge?

Chapter: CHAPTER 7With a hissing sound, wind gushed into her room. The chill breeze descended on her skin; she felt the cold but was too deep in her thoughts to get up and close the window. Aria looked pale, her eyes red with dark circles beneath them. With a routine of crying, sleeping, and waking up only to continue crying for forty-eight hours, it wasn’t a surprise. And her mother failing to convince her father meant she was doomed.Click.Her door slid open.“Bella,” Aunt Lissa called. eyes laced with sympathy she took heavy strides forward and sat on the edge of the bed. “Love, you still haven’t eaten since yesterday,” she said, caressing Aria’s hair slowly. “I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but just know I’m here if you need someone to talk to.”But Aria just lay there quietly, tears sliding down her cheeks onto her pillow.“Aria, you have to be strong, and you have to know that your dad loves you.”“He doesn’t,” Aria muttered. Forcing her weak limbs to move, she sat up, legs crossed, h

Chapter: CHAPTER 6“I don’t understand… This has to be a joke,” she said with a faint smile. “Uncle, is this one of your pranks?” she asked, forcing a giggle. Her gaze traveled to Marco; he blinked and shook his head slightly, his face unreadable.Aria gulped hard, turning around, her brows drawing together slowly as she glanced at Roberto. Their eyes locked; he sighed and looked away. Her stomach twisted. That one move confirmed it all.She lifted her head to meet her father’s stern gaze. “Do I look like I’m joking?” he asked through gritted teeth.“I don’t know, but you have to be joking. “I'm your daughter, not a piece of territory you can trade away to stay in power!” she raged. She crossed her arms, looked away, then lifted her head to face him. “So there is no way I’m marrying that lunatic.”Don Lorenzo’s face twitched, his lips parting slowly. “Do you—”“Wow! Let me get this straight”Aria laughed—too loudly, too fast “So I’m to get married to our sworn enemies? If this is a prank—which I pray it

Chapter: CHAPTER 5ARIAAria sat in the garden, eyes fixed on the parrot cages. Their constant chirping fell on deaf ears, her mind elsewhere. She still wore the black dress from the funeral that morning; Two days since they'd found Elena's body, yet it felt like yesterday.Tears dropped down her cheeks as she reminisced about her sister’s smiles at the mall on the day she was taken. She sighed, wiping her tears.God, you should have taken me instead. Why her?Fresh tears followed. Elena was everything Dad wanted; strong, capable, fearless. She would've known how to avenge this. But me? I don't even know how to pull a trigger. She wiped her eyes roughly again. Federico's dead. Leo won't stop crying. Mum had a heart attack. Dad won't even look at me. Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe it was never the lifestyle; maybe it was always me.She gulped hard and got up. Letting out a shaky breath, she began pacing back and forth. Should I apologize to Federico’s family? But that will only enrage Dad even more. G

Chapter: CHAPTER 4“She is dead.”Aria's legs gave out. She collapsed slowly, hitting the floor hard, the marble cold against her knees.This can't be happening. God, please—not my sister.Thud! Teresa, who was still kneeling beside Elena’s body, collapsed to the floor.“Mum!” Aria jolted back up, her heart leaping into her throat. Don Lorenzo strode forward; he bent down and effortlessly picked his wife up. With some slow, heavy steps, he placed her on one of the cushions in the center of the grand hall.“Call the doctor,” he ordered Matteo. His voice, for the first time, came out shakily as he caressed Teresa's face.Aria stood still. Tears streamed down her cheek, but the sobs didn't come out. She was silent and shell-shocked, her whole body frozen, her gaze traveling from her Mum back to Elena’s lifeless body. As if the whole world had stopped, the only noise was the slow thudding of her heart.About a minute later, she blinked and drew in a weak breath. She glanced around the grand hall, now packe

Chapter: CHAPTER 3Aria blinked. Her eyes crept open slowly, her vision blurred. She could barely see the spinning fan above her. She blinked again, and her sight gradually became clearer. Then came the surge of pain. Her face contorted as she made out her surroundings. It was her room.Her head was throbbing badly. She sighed, placing an arm over her forehead, feeling the bandage wrapped around it. She glanced at her mum, who was seated by her side on the bed, lost deep in thought. Aria moved, her elbows propped up as she tried sitting up.“Love, don’t,” Teresa said, turning swiftly.“M… mum,” Aria’s voice cracked.Her mum pulled her into a tight embrace. Tears rolled down her eyes easily. “Calm down. You are safe now,” Teresa assured, caressing her hair.Aria sobbed, her breath shaky. “Mum… they… atta—”“Aria, where is your sister?” Don Lorenzo’s voice cut in from across the room, cold and emotionless. He stood with both arms crossed, his gaze fixed on his daughter. Aria turned, but met six eyes glari

Chapter: CHAPTER 2He grabbed her chin, roughly forcing her gaze down to his. She stared back at him with blurry eyes, absentmindedly.“Seems like what just happened killed the fight in you,” he smiled. Caressing her face, he continued, “Come on, don’t ruin this moment, doll.” He frowned. “What I like about you D’Amores… I still haven’t smelled the fear.” He leaned closer. “Ooh, I love the smell of fear in a D’Amore.”Aria blinked, her brain processing his words slowly. She blinked again doing away with the blur, her brows drawn together. Then her voice came, low and shaky. “So, it was you.” A tear slid down, drawing a hot, regretful path down her cheek. “ You killed Elena”Dante smirked. “Oh. Your sister…” Letting go of her chin, he adjusted the syringe. “Come on, don’t take that personally. It was never part of the plan... it was simply an eye for an eye.”His words hit her hard, a surge of self-disgust spreading through every vein in her body. The man she'd married to end the war was the cause of it
