THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE
“Let me go Sandro I do not want this marriage anymore”
Five years ago, Elena Moretti made a mistake, a careless one. A one night stand with a stranger, she thought everything was fine if she could pretend it never happened but when that night left her pregnant, her parents forced her into marriage with the ruthless, cold Alessandro De Luca.
Alessandro never wanted a wife. Marriage meant nothing to him but he was forced into a marriage with the girl he had a one night stand with, a girl from a family with a falling empire, convinced she did this to seduce him for her family gain he made their marriage-unbearable, loveless, distant and built on nothing but obligation. For five years Elena endured his cruelty raising their son in silence.
Now she’s done, she wants out.
But just as she prepares to leave, their daughter is kidnapped by Sandro’s enemies, forcing them into working together. As they navigate a deadly game of power and betrayal, Elena starts to see the man behind the monster—the husband who was never hers, the father willing to burn the world for their child.
Is it too late to turn hatred into love? Or is she going to take the risk of opening her heart again to the man who hurt her?

Chapter: CHAPTER 28–THAT DAYALESSANDRO “How was the game?” Papà asked, his hands holding mine firmly. We were on our way to the car park after a baseball game. “It was spectacular,” I said smiling. People breezed past us to get to their cars. Mamma and Luisa had gone for a spa date. We were going to meet them at our favorite restaurant to celebrate our team winning. “Number 10 is a fucking good player,” I continued. “Words. Sandro,” Papá cautioned but he was smiling. “Mamma isn’t here, and you’re not going to tell on me, would you?” I kicked a stone to the side, my hands tightening around his. “I won’t. Only because she would be mad at me too.” “Excuse me Mr DeLuca. Can I take a picture?” A photographer who had been at the game stopped me and Papà. “Sure.” Papà looked at me for approval and I nodded my head. “This way, please.” He led us to the side of the field. The sun was too hot so I had to shield my face with my hand. Papà nudged me to his side as the photographer took a picture. “Another on

Chapter: CHAPTER 27–HUMILIATION ELENAEveryone’s eyes darted between us. Alessandro sat down and started eating like he hadn’t just dropped a bomb shell on his family. “You’re pregnant?” Rosa asked, staring at me.“Yes.”“How far long?”“Five months,” I replied. The room fell silent. their unspoken words loud and clear. I could almost hear what they were thinking. If she’s five months in, does it mean she was pregnant before marriage?.’Like my Family, Alessandro’s were traditional. I should have known. He had brought me here to humiliate me. To paint me like a whore. Was this punishment for not telling him who I was with earlier?“You got pregnant before the wedding? Gaia asked.“Yes,” I replied. shifting uncomfortably in my seat. “Why didn’t you tell me this? Alessandro,” Rosa turned to him.“Nothing, Mamma.” “I am sorry,” I directed to her. “We didn’t mean to hide it from you.”“But you did.” She said, sounding disappointed.“Let us eat.” She picked up her fork and dug it into her steak.The sound of forks on

Chapter: CHAPTER 26–FAMILY DINNERELENA“Keys,” he demanded as soon as I stepped out.I stretched out my hand, and he snatched the keys from me, opened the driver’s door and slid in.“Get in,” He ordered.I obeyed without hesitation. We needed to leave before he saw Alex. I would text him when I got home and explain why I left. I slipped into the passenger seat, and we drove off. Neither of us saying a thing, the silence between us stretched. Why wasn’t he asking me? Does he already know?Then I noticed, this wasn’t the road home.I turned to him “Where are we going?” “You will know when we get there,” He replied flatly, his eyes never leaving the road.I scoffed and looked out the window. It was summer now and the leaves were lush and green. We passed a park where children played with their parents. my heart twisted. Would my baby ever have a moment like this? A father to lift her onto his shoulders, a mother to wipe ice cream from her chin? The uncertainty ate me deep. Five months gone..four to go.I was pulled f

Chapter: CHAPTER 25–UNDER HIS WATCH ELENA“Asshole,” I muttered as he shut the door behind him.I got up from the bed, went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. I returned back to my room, checked my phone only to realize I hadn’t answered Alex's last text.“No.” I replied to his last text asking if Alessandro was with me. I don’t know where this is leading to. But I will play along. I am bored as hell.“Want to meet up for coffee tomorrow?” His text came instantly like he’s been on his phone waiting for my reply.I smiled to myself. I wasn’t busy tomorrow. I hadn’t painted in a while, I had been so caught up with Alessandro that I had forgotten about the art exhibition. It was drawing close and I was still hell bent on attending. even if he’s against it.“That would be nice,” I texted back. set my phone down, and crawled into bed.The next morning, I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. my stomach was starting to look obvious. I was already late for my meet up with Alex, but I just couldn’t stop st

Chapter: CHAPTER 24–TIED AND TAKENELENAI laid on my bed, hands on my tummy as I gave it a gentle massage. The day had stressed me out so much I was cramping a little.Alessandro wasn’t back yet. He must have gone after Aria to soothe her feelings for being harsh to her. I picked up my phone and went through my messages, one caught my attention.“Good day Elena. I don’t know if you will remember me, it’s Alex from the party.”I searched my brain trying to recall any Alex I met at a party. Then it clicked. “Hi.” I texted back.His reply came instantly.“She replies.”I sent a laughing emoji. “Isn’t the essence of a text to get a reply back?”“I know. I just didn’t think you were going to reply.”He wrote.I got up from my bed, went to the mini freezer and got an Ice cream. I was suddenly craving sugar. My cramps are long gone.“Why would you think that?” “I figured your husband wouldn’t be happy with you texting other men.”I rolled my eyes at the text, even though he couldn’t see me.“Luckily for me, my husband doe

Chapter: CHAPTER 23–HOMEALESSANDRO I was already having a bad day. With the whole Luca shit and Elena pushing me off her. I’d hit my limit for the day. Then, Aria happened.I have no idea why she was back, and frankly, I didn’t care. Aria had never been to my house before. I didn’t like bringing women to my home, it’s my personal sanctuary. until Elena.Listening to her talk all that shit about not liking how we ended, made me wonder if she’d forgotten we never dated. Cutting her off in the past was easy. This time, I would do it again if she crosses more boundaries with me.I knew Elena was at the door, peeking. Which was why I held Aria’s waist as she straddled me. She took it as an invitation to touch me, I was disgusted by her hands on me, couldn’t believe I let her do more than that before. But the show was for Elena and I got the reaction I wanted from her.“We should get together sometime,” she whispered in my ear. But I wasn’t interested in hearing another word. Elena had already scurried away li
