"I do not love him, Viola. I do not want to be with him" Rosana sighed in irritation. She was now feeling better but her throat still burned. "This is a living hell, a nightmare!"

Viola sighed. She understood Rosana's plight more than anyone else and saw the sadness in her eyes. But she couldn't do or say anything to make her feel at ease.

"Allen and I met in Senior High. It was love at first sight, Viola and it was wonderful" She smiled and continued. "We fell madly in love and couldn't stay away from each other. Because of that, we enrolled in the same University and luckily, we both graduated top of our different classes."

"He always wanted to come over to Italy and meet my parents but I was a bit scared. Scared that my father would only approve of him if he agreed to join the Mafia too. I was scared of losing him like my brother"

"Does it mean he never knew about your family?" Viola asked and Rosana nodded.

"He only knew that my father was a businessman and he was always busy. Allen does not even know about my family or where we live." Rosana paused and stared at the engagement ring Allen had given to her. "Now, I feel I made a very wrong decision. I should never have kept any secrets from him."

"Do you think it would have made any difference? You were betrothed a long time ago. Don't you think your father would have ordered you to terminate your relationship with him?"

Rosana thought about it and sighed. Viola was right. If her father had found out about their relationship then, he would've forced her to terminate it or he would've married her off to Sergio at a very tender age.

Speaking of Sergio, Rosana had not seen him for the past four days. She remained in her room to avoid running to him and was even more relieved when he didn't try to come after her.

Viola had informed her that most times, he vanished for weeks. He owned other houses and could choose to stay wherever he wanted. Rosana was a little bit relieved. She wished he'd vanish this time and never return until she had managed to escape.

"I would love to go to the mall," Rosana said, changing the topic. She stood up and walked over to her wardrobe. "All the clothes in here are black"

"Oh! We could go when the Don returns, My Lady"

Rosana huffed and rolled her eyes. Of course. Viola always had the perfect reply to every question and Rosana was starting to think she wanted her to remain trapped in there.

"Why can't I go now he's away?" Whenever she didn't respond, Rosana turned to look at her. "You think I will escape?"

"No... My Lady..."

"Oh yes, you think I will run? That is why you have been keeping me in and not giving me access to some certain things"

"My Lady..."

Rosana crossed her arms beneath her bre@sts and walked to the middle of the room. So that was it, she thought. She couldn't believe that Viola was not on her side. Well, why would she be when she was working for the devil?

"Did you see what he did to me four days ago? How he almost ripped my throat out? He did not care if he was choking the life out of me, Viola. He left me to die."

Viola dropped to her knees and lowered her head. "I am sorry, My Lady, I am just doing my job. If I make a single mistake, the Don, your husband will have my head."

"Look, I understand," She sighed and went to stand in front of Viola. "No matter how this is, I am not going to put your life in danger. I can never escape the Don and you know it. Even if I do, he will comb the whole world, just to find me."

She walked over to the window and looked outside like she did over the past few days. The Don's suite was in the upper part of the mansion and very far from the ground. She had thought of lunging out of the window countlessly but it wouldn't work. She'd fall and break her bones before she got the chance to escape.

But that didn't stop her just looking. From the top, she could see the ground floor and all the corners. But they were guarded by so many soldiers.

"You should stop worrying, Viola, I am not running away. This is my fate and I'm starting to embrace it"

On hearing that, Viola was alleviated. She was so perturbed and refused to leave Rosana's side because she was scared that she'll try to escape. From the stories she told about her lover, Viola had concluded that she'll do anything to escape Sergio, just to be with him.

"Thank you, My Lady"

"I am so hungry, Viola. Please get me my food"

"Yes, My Lady" Viola stood to her feet and bowed before exiting the room.

When Rosana was sure she had gone off, she leaned closer and looked down. If she could only find a way down there, there's nothing that would stop her from running away.

Allen returned to his hotel room after another unsuccessful day, trying to find Rosana. Where could she be? He wondered.

Before taking the flight down to Italy, he had rushed over to her apartment and searched for some significant documents that would lead him to her house. After he arrived, he went straight to the location only to find it deserted. Not a single soul was found.

He decided to ask around, using her pictures but no one recognized her. He didn't give up and kept trying for four more days. Still, no positive result.

His phone started ringing, shattering into his thoughts. When he saw the caller, he sighed and palmed his forehead. It's been four days already and everyone at home was worried about him.

"Hi, Mum!"

"Holy gracious Lord, Allen! Finally you answered your phone!" Samantha cried. She was so worried. "Where did you run off to, huh? Where have you been these past few days? Why did you refuse to pick up our calls? Where are you, Allen?"

There were too many questions and he didn't know which one to answer first. "Mum... I'm fine. I'm in Italy..."

"Don't you dare lie that it's a business trip, Allen! Your secretary informed us that you just took off without words"

"Yes mum, it isn't a business trip." He paused and sighed. "I came to find Rosa"

There was a short pause.

"Goodness... Have you found her? Tell me you're on your way back with her"

"No Mum..."

"Wait, what? Are you planning on staying there with her? Oh, come on Allen"

He would have laughed if that was true but it was the opposite. He couldn't even find her. And she had not given him a call or replied to any of his numerous messages.

"Mum, it's not that. I've not found her. No calls, no messages, no nothing, Mum." He stood up from the bed and walked over to the window. "I don't know what else to do. What if..."

He paused and took a deep breath. No, he wasn't going there. He had tried so hard to avoid thinking about Rosana with another man. He had tried to avoid thinking that she ditched him for some Italian dude, just like his mother had said.

His Rosa will never do that.

She loved him and promised never to leave.

"Just come back home, Honey. We miss you and we're all waiting for you. Just come back, we'll figure it out"

"Alright, Mum. I'll take the night flight"

United States Of America

"Boss, we have the document," Alfonso confirmed and opened the envelope. "And we have good news too"

Sergio didn't reply. He just relaxed on the seat enjoying the blowjob given to him by a Blondie. She used her hands and her mouth perfectly, giving him exactly what he needed after shedding so much bloød. He had arrived in America four days ago to take care of business.

"He is from California, 27 years old, he manages his father's company and is also building his own. He recently got engaged to Rosana Marcello and was planning their wedding. They've been together for 5 years."

Alfonso paused and watched him. Even with his eyes closed, he knew he was paying close attention to the details.

"The good news is that he is in Italy. He arrived three days ago and has been searching around for your wife. What do you need me to do, Boss? I could pass a call and the men will get him"

    EPILOGUE>>PART 2After the handshake, they stood side by side in silence. The unexpected turn of events still shocked Alberto as he couldn't believe everything had gone smoothly, and he was now standing beside the one person he least expected to make amends with.As they stood, a question that had been nagging in his mind popped in and he couldn't resist asking. "About the scar on your chest... Did I do that? During the fight, I mean"More than once, he had caught glimpses of the scar when Enzo trained shirtless. And due to the depth, Alberto couldn't help but wonder if he was responsible for it."Nah. A girl." Enzo replied curtly.Alberto had not anticipated a response, but then, a girl??? Who could she be? What was her relationship with Enzo? The scar seemed too severe to be inflicted by someone Enzo didn't have a deep connection with. Alberto was curious, but he knew better than to pry even when the question still lingered in his mind. Just as they resumed standing in silence, Lucr

    EPILOGUETWO YEARS LATER... The lavish table was set with fine china, crystal glasses, and silverware. Golden candelabras adorned the center, casting a warm glow over the spread of meat, steaming dishes, salads, desserts, and fresh fruits. The family had gathered for a grand Thanksgiving celebration with Ville, Carmencita, Lucretia, Alberto, and Alfonso in attendance. The twins, now 7 years old, burst with energy and raced around the dining room, pursuing Enzo. "I'm gonna catch you, Uncle Enzo""And why do you think so?" Enzo asked, breathing heavily as the twins continued their relentless pursuit."Because I'm the fastest""No, you're not," Vincenzo countered, trying hard to overcome his elder brother."I am""You're not!""I am"As the kids kept competing against one another, Alberto watched the commotion with a warm smile on his face, while sipping his whiskey. He hadn't expected an invitation from Sergio and was shocked when he received one. That was the first time he was dinin

  • Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia    Chapter 190

    Chapter 190Sergio's eyes locked on Rosana's as the air between them crackled with anticipation. It had been far too long since they'd last been intimate, and the tension was undeniable."Rosana." He called out and took a step closer to her. She stood frozen, her heart racing, as his fingers traced the curve of her spine. He gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and that sent shivers down her spine. With his eyes never leaving hers, he leaned in and grazed the curve of her neck with his lips. Rosana's eyelids fluttered close as she tilted her head, inviting him deeper. Just as she craved, he trailed kisses along her skin, each one igniting a spark that nearly engulfed her.Moaning quietly, she raised her hand to his chest and felt the warmth of his skin beneath his shirt. She tugged gently and Sergio's lips curved into a smile as he obliged, shedding his shirt to reveal the chiseled contours of his torso.Their eyes met once more, the connection between them wild and electri

    As Rosana stepped into the house, she was immediately surrounded by the warm glow of twinkling candles and the sweet fragrance of fresh flowers. Her eyes widened in surprise as she took in the breathtaking sight before her. What could be the occasion? It wasn't the twins' birthday nor was it their marriage anniversary."Welcome home, Mammà!" The twins chimed in unison, their faces lighting up with excitement. They stood in the entrance of the hall, each holding a bouquet of colorful flowers."Oh, thank you, my sweet knights," Rosana responded, her heart swelling with love and gratitude as she knelt to hug them. She then got the flowers and inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet scent."Welcome home, Amore mio. The kids wanted to surprise you. They've been working on this all day" Rosana's eyes met Sergio's, and she felt a flutter in her chest. He was now standing behind the twins with a warm smile on his face and deep down, she knew that this was more than just a sweet gesture from the

    Chapter 188A MONTH LATER•••"Things have been getting better. Sergio is slowly putting the past behind him and doesn't avoid me anymore. My favorite time of the day is when he comes home to us."Lucretia's face lit up with a warm smile as she sipped her lemonade. "Oh, that's awesome. I'm thrilled to hear that, Ana, you deserve it."Rosana's expression turned thoughtful, and she inhaled deeply. "I still quiver thinking about how close I came to losing him.""Well, I'm glad you came to your fucking senses and made things right"The two friends lapsed into a comfortable silence, each lost in their own thoughts, reflecting on the twists and turns their lives had taken over the past few years. Lucretia's thoughts drifted back to the rough months that had passed. She remembered the pain and the fear, the sleepless nights and the endless tears. But most of all, she remembered the realization that had hit her like a ton of bricks—Enzo was still alive.She hadn't seen him again since that nig

    FEW DAYS LATER>>> AT THE CAPITALThe Mafia men stepped out of the meeting room, dressed in black suits that fitted their muscular bodies perfectly. Their faces were expressionless, hidden behind dark sunglasses as they stepped out of the Capital, disappearing into waiting black vehicles. As the rest of the men left, Alberto hung back, helping Ville and Enzo with some tasks. Within the past few weeks, he had gotten along with Ville and Alfonso, but things were tougher with Enzo. No matter how hard he tried, Enzo either ignored him or gave him a menacing glare that left him shaken. Still, Alberto refused to give up. He was determined to make amends for his past mistakes and earn forgiveness and acceptance, especially from his half-brothers Sergio and Enzo."You should head back home," Ville said to him three hours later. "I'll finish up from here""Yeah... About that... I've got nothing else to do. I'd rather finish up with you than return to that cold empty house"Ville chuckled and l
