The Don’s Dangerous Bride
Valentina Moretti is the Don the Italian Mafia. Smart and formidable, surviving a male dominated environment, overcoming tremendous challenges.
Trained from a young age to be a deadly assassin, she commands respect wherever she goes. She seemingly has everything, until her father decides to arrange her marriage.
Luca Delgado is the head of the American Mafia. He is a ruthless and cold individual. He understands the rules of the game perfectly and will do anything to achieve victory, including breaking others without hesitation. Their forced marriage is a cruel twist of fate. Will these two ruthless individuals find comfort in one another, or will they end up destroying each other?
"I don’t remember agreeing to play strip poker," she remarked. Her lips formed a slight frown, but her eyes sparkled with playfulness. She realized she couldn't outmatch me in this game.
"Are you giving up? Are you a coward? " I taunted, aiming to provoke her. Her lips quivered before she pressed them firmly together. The richness of her eye color intensified as she offered a sly grin. She began shuffling cards and removed one of her sandals. Great. We’re taking the long route. She held it up, letting it dangle from her finger before casually tossing it aside. She raised an eyebrow at me, clearly challenging me.
I was pleased to know I had touched a nerve. Just as I expected.

You believe I sent them? " Dominic said. "I didn't do that. I have no intention of hurting either of you. That would be outrageously foolish, and tell me, do I seem foolish to you? " Dominic continued. Who in their right mind would bet on a fight between two equally powerful mafias? Not Dominic and not me. The Russian mafia was different; they were actually not smart. "He's being honest. His body language is genuine," Valentina said while looking at me. "I think so too," I replied in Italian. Dominic cleared his throat, and we turned our attention back to him. "We're leaving now. Thank you for being honest," I said as I got up. "Come on, Luca, just one game of poker. For old times’ sake," Dominic grinned. He was still annoyed about me beating him the last time we played. I glanced at Valentina, who shrugged slightly. "Alright then. O

Everything's packed together. " She remarked. I nodded and glanced at my watch. "Just wait a moment. " I raised a finger to stop Valentina from saying anything. She exhaled and stayed quiet. It didn't take long for Jude to show up. I welcomed him, excited to see my friend again. "I'm really glad Dante is. . . well, not dead. " Jude laughed. "Me too, now can we please head inside? " Valentina chimed in. She might have been excited to meet the man or maybe she just needed to use the restroom, who knows. Jude noticed her and looked down at her belly, which was carrying the future leader of the mafia. And whoever it was, they would be amazing. "Of course. Good to see you, Valentina. " He said while reaching for her hand. She shook his hand, which seemed to disappoint Jude. He had wanted to kiss her hand, but that honor was

Chapter: Chapter 190:No second thoughtsWARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORELUCA POVLooking around the big private jet, I noticed Valentina taking a nap. She was stretched out on the two big leather chairs. I had covered her with a knitted blanket. She seemed really bored and quite fed up with my comments. I couldn't believe it. Losing Dante felt like losing a piece of myself. I didn’t realize how much he influenced my life until he was no longer here. He was truly my closest friend, like a brother to me. Damn it. And Valentina, she brought him back into my life. She filled the gap I felt, she meant everything to me. I watched her as she slept. I wouldn’t trade her for anything in the world. I grabbed my phone and lifted it to my ear after dialing a number. "That better not be that annoying person," Valentina mumbled as she stretched and yawned. "That was a short nap. " I smiled at her. She looked at me with a playful glint in h

" Luca grinned. Oh man. I got up and went to the door. I put the puppy down and watched him run off. I shut the door and locked it. "We'll go see Dominic and figure this out. It’s not very likely those two men were involved with him. But it feels personal. Taking Dante made it personal," Luca said further. I nodded in agreement. "From what I've heard about Carter, he seems clever. This doesn’t seem like his doing. Maybe someone is trying to make him look bad? " I said as I approached Luca, noticing the tension in his strong shoulders beneath his black t-shirt. "That could be it. But someone definitely wanted me dead," he growled quietly. That deep sound sent a shiver through me. I sat on his lap, facing him with my legs on either side. My short dress had hiked up quite a bit. "No one can get too close. Only I can," I s

Chapter: Chapter 188: Knives?WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GOREVALENTINA POV“I’ll take care of it,” Viviana said with a smile. “Thanks,” I answered. Viviana led me upstairs where I changed and got into bed. I heard the sound of doors opening and closing several times downstairs. She had taken Nico with her. I asked her to leave Luca and Lorenzo downstairs and not to stress about the mess. The maids would clean it up tomorrow, and it was already late. I was almost asleep, snuggled in my blanket, but then I heard the door open and close again. I recognized who it was, so I didn’t throw my knife at the person coming in. “What time is it? ” Luca shouted, and I tightened my eyes in annoyance. “Leave me alone, I’m tired,” I growled. “I’m tired too,” he mumbled as he stumbled around. A moment later, everything went silent. I glanced up and saw him sleeping against the wardrobe. Forget it, let him sleep there; I was too co

Chapter: Chapter 187: SHOCKEDWARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GOREVALENTINA POVEveryone stood frozen in surprise, their mouths open and eyes wide as they looked at Dante. A man who had once been dead was now alive. I observed Luca as he shook his head in complete disbelief. His hands were tightly closed into fists, and he started to breathe heavily. He leaned his head as he pointed a finger at Dante. "What, how, what-" he stammered, struggling to find words, his voice slightly shaking. He approached Dante and gave him a good look. "Wow. " He choked out and embraced his best friend tightly. No one moved; they just watched as the two friends held each other. Tears flowed down my face, which was frustrating. I tried to wipe them away, but new ones just took their place. I heard a baby crying as Vix came into the room. She must have heard the excitement. We all saw Luca release Dante and give his shoulder a friendly pat.
