SOFIA

I'd never known fear the way I did in that moment, staring down the barrel of a gun while Rafe smirked at me.

"Don't move," he whispered. "Unless you want your brains to decorate the walls."

My heart was pounding loudly in my chest, and I could barely breathe.

Adrian stepped forward slowly, and the smile on his face from earlier had completely vanished. He looked down at me now with his eyes empty, and I felt like a prey who had just been spotted by the wolf.

"Are you sure it's her?" he asked Rafe, keeping his eyes on me.

"Absolutely sure," Rafe replied. "I confirmed with Carlos and Hector. She's the one I saw with Ariana."

Adrian sighed as he slowly crouched in front of me. My eyes flew to the gun in his hands, and I wanted to turn around to run out of the room at the sight. But I couldn't move even if I wanted to.

"You've been trying to get close to me for quite some time now," he said quietly. "Sid you really think I wouldn't notice?"

I couldn't say anything, so I just

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   102. The Family Dinner

    SOFIAAdrian and I descended the grand staircase of the manor, with his hand feeling warm and steady in mine while my heart fluttered wildly with a mix of nerves and anticipation. The afterglow from our quickie in my room still lingered, and my skin tingling where he'd touched me. I felt like such a slut, and I imagined stepping out into the garden and everyone immediately knowing that I'd just had sex with him. Oh God, why couldn't I just control myself? I could have said no when he started kissing me. I should have told him to wait. But like a fucking moron, I'd lost my mind the moment he started kissing me, and all I could think about was how badly I wanted him to fuck me. Well now the deed was done, and I was about to face the rest of the DeLucas. My first impression of them had to be flawless, otherwise I would forever be remembered as the skank who'd been unable to keep it in her pants for an hour. "Hey," Adrian whispered, squeezing my hand. "You look scared to death. What's

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   101. The Extended DeLucas

    SOFIAThe air in Rome hit me like a warm embrace as we stepped out of the car, like a mix of freshly baked bread, blooming jasmine, and something ancient and beautiful. I couldn’t stop smiling as we drove through the countryside, and I could see the towns on the rolling hills in the distance, twinkling in the darkness. The sky was so clear that you could see almost every single star in the sky, and it was so magical and peaceful that I wished I could live here for the rest of my life. As we soon reached the city, my mouth fell open at how beautiful it was. The narrow cobblestone streets were lined with ancient buildings, with their shutters thrown open to reveal flower boxes that somehow all looked so fresh. A bunch of Vespas flew past us, weaving through the crowds of tourists who were snapping photos of crumbling ruins that somehow stood proud despite their age. The colosseum loomed in the distance, like a terrifying figure against the night sky, and everywhere the chatter of Ital

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   100. The Mile High Club

    SOFIAThe smell of espresso and fresh croissants filled the dining room, with a rare morning calm in the DeLuca estate. I sat across from Adrian, my fork picking at a plate of scrambled eggs while he sipped his coffee, his dark eyes scanning a tablet with flight details for Rome. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows and glinted off the table, and for a moment it felt like we were just a normal couple having breakfast. But the weight of yesterday, with the feds raiding the estate and then Rafe's accusations, all hung over me like a storm cloud. But I pushed it down, focusing instead on the warmth of Adrian's presence, and the way his rolled-up sleeves showed off his forearms, strong and veined and making me want to jump onto his lap, and kiss him senseless while my fingers explored his bare chest. Sometimes, it felt like he had some sort of spell over me. That could only be the logical explanation, because why on earth did a simple look turn me on so much? Why did it feel like

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   97. The New Blade

    SOFIAThe kitchen smelled like a warm picnic about thirty minutes since I started cooking, with the tomato sauce simmering on the stove, some fresh basil torn and thrown into the pot, and garlic sizzling in olive oil. I stirred the sauce slowly, the wooden spoon scraping the bottom of the pan, while I wondered how Adrian would feel when he came back and found out that I’d cooked for him. Melissa had let it slip earlier that his favorite dish was his grandma’s lasagna, like the creamy kind with layers of rich meat sauce, and cheese that melted into every bite. She said she hadn’t made it in a while, so I'd spent the morning tracking down every ingredient. I wanted to surprise him, and to see that beautiful smile he always saved for moments when it was just us. After last night with Rafe and this morning's disaster at the gun range, I needed something to make me smile again, and not feel like I wanted to blow my own brains out. I layered the pasta sheets in the dish, and my hands were
