MasukWe were ready to go to Greece in no time. Emilio had a private jet that took us there. I was nervous about having to see my mother again. She was special to me, and I wish she had told me that she was only going to be with her family.I thought my father had killed her the way he killed Elena.But I guess she couldn’t have just come out and told me she was a Greek mafia princess. That would have been shocking.And she didn’t know how I would receive the news.Once we landed, Emilio booked a hotel room for us. He told me we weren’t going to make contact with my mother until the next day because he had to figure out how he was going to go about it.She was a mafia princess, and she was going to be queen, or maybe she had already become the mafia queen, and you couldn’t just get access to her easily. If anyone could access her, then it would risk her safety.We checked into a hotel room, and I couldn’t think about anything else other than meeting my mother and seeing if she was truly oka
“What the fuck are you trying to tell me?” I heard Emilio yell very early in the morning. He woke me up with all that noise. When he saw that I had woken up, he went to his balcony to yell at the person on the other end of the call.Something really serious was happening.I could see that he was angry, but the only thing I could concentrate on was the fact that he was shirtless and his pants hung low on his hips. He was very attractive and I could barely take my eyes off him.I knew I should have probably been more worried about what he was yelling about, but until I knew what it was, I didn’t think I could take it seriously. The only thing I could think about was how hot he looked.I smiled as I walked towards him and hugged him from behind. He cut the call and turned to me. I knew immediately that what he was about to tell was nothing but bad news.“What’s going on?” I asked.“Mimi was killed last night. She was poisoned, but she wasn’t rushed to the hospital in time.”I froze, so m
I watched as Mimi got down on her knees and apologized to me. She looked so humiliated that I couldn’t help but laugh. I couldn’t believe I was having fun humiliating her like that.People taking pictures and videos of her made me even happier. People really hated her and wanted to see her fall.Emilio had been right the day we met on the rooftop of the Prosecutors’ office. I enjoyed making people who had wronged me suffer for doing it. It was the reason why I went to Emilio’s court case.I wanted to see Elena and Tommaso humiliated for what they had done to me. I made sure I gave them every chance to put me on the case, knowing they wouldn’t. All so I could justify deriving pleasure from seeing them fall in real time.“That’s enough. You look pathetic enough.” I said.My father and brother shook their heads at me. Tommaso was at the front, looking like he wanted to cry, and Bianca was next to him, comforting him.“I knew you were a bitch, but I can’t believe you would do something li
Luckily for us, Mimi had faith that I would show up to get married to her son, which meant she didn’t leave anyone to supervise me. The two women she had left for me eventually left me alone.“Let’s go,” I said.As soon as I heard the music cue, Emilio and I walked down the aisle. When we emerged, the whole crowd gasped. I was in the short black dress I had picked for myself a black veil on top.I looked like I was walking down the aisle to get married to the devil himself. And in a way, I was. Emilio was known as the devil himself. They called him a bad man, but I didn’t see it that way.There were people who enabled him and even kissed the ground he kissed on, just so they could get their hands on his money. The only thing people cared about was money and power.They didn’t care that they had to kill for it. I had yet to know the extent of my father’s crimes. He was not a good person himself, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to judge me for my choices.Tommaso was near the priest in a wh
“I’m ready—” I tried to say to ease Mimi’s anger, but before I even completed my statement, she delivered another harsh slap to my face.It was even harder than the last one, and it had my head tipping back. I had to clutch my fists to my side to stop from lashing out before I embarrassed her in a few minutes. She was going to regret everything.Lashing out at her in the moment wouldn’t get me anywhere.“Wipe that dark makeup off your face. You are a fucking bride. I want you to put on soft makeup and come quickly. Do not waste my time. You have already embarrassed me enough as it is.”If I frustrated her so much, why was she so hell-bent on making sure I married her son? It didn’t make sense.“You clearly hate me,” I said before I could stop myself. “Why do you want me to marry your son when you know I’ll give him nothing but a hard time? I will not quit my job easily, and I will not allow all of you to control me the way you want.”All the words I was saying were against what I was
“Are you ready to get the show started? Your father is going to lose his mind once he sees us together. Are you ready to face your family and come to terms with the consequences of marrying me?” He asked.But he already knew the answer to that question. I had chosen him, and I didn’t regret a thing.It was the morning of the day when I was supposed to get married to Tom, and I was standing in the middle of my bedroom with Emilio. He had told me that his house was also mine, and we had been living there for the past three days.I had gone to work as usual, so as not to raise the alarm on anything that had happened in the past few days. Mimi had texted me multiple times, telling me she expected me to quit my job before I went to the wedding. She has sent the wedding dress she expected me to wear because she ‘didn’t trust I wouldn’t dress like a whore’. I looked at the wedding dress and would not be wearing it. It was long-sleeved, and I knew I would get hot in it, and it swept the gro
