작가: Oma Green
last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-11-20 00:36:49

Dante's POV

Because you matter to me more than you should. Because the thought of losing you makes me want to burn the world down. Because I would bleed a thousand times before I let anything happen to you.

But I could not say any of that. Not yet. Not when she was still looking at me like I was the enemy.

So I did what I always do, pushed it down, hid behind the walls I had built, and gave her the only truth I could let out.

"Because no one is worth killing yourself over. Not even me. And certainly not that deranged psychopath you call a father. When life corners you, you do not fold. You push back. You drag yourself out, even when it feels impossible. You do not give anyone the satisfaction of watching you fall. You survive."

"What if I am tired of surviving?" Her voice shook like the words were scraping their way out. "I am tired of fighting battles I cannot win. I am tired of being afraid."

"Then stop being afraid of me."

"How?" She searched my face like she was begging for somet

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 30: Touched By Him In My Dress

    Gianna's POV"Dante, I'm serious…" My voice came out breathy, already betraying the effect he had on me."You've been in here for over two hours, pretty doll," he said. He kept coming, and I found myself backing up instinctively until I hit the mirror, the cool glass pressing against my bare shoulders, sending a shiver down my spine. "I got impatient.""Where's Arielle? If she comes back and sees you…""She's safe in the bathroom. Bruno's standing guard like his life depends on it." His eyes never left mine as he prowled closer, eating up the distance between us. "Which it does. I had to seize this moment."My heart was pounding now, a frantic rhythm against my ribs. I could feel the heat of him even though he wasn't touching me yet, could smell his cologne, that dark, expensive scent of musk and cedar that always made me dizzy. "You left your daughter to come spy on me?""I left my daughter in the most secure bathroom in the city to come see my future wife." He stopped just in front

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 129: Fuck Traditions

    Gianna's POV"As a DeLuca bride, you must outshine everyone," the head stylist said for the third time, her voice breathless with excitement. "Signor DeLuca has given us carte blanche. Whatever you desire, we'll make it happen.""We can custom-make anything," another assistant chimed in. "Any design, any fabric. We have the finest lace from Belgium, silk from….""Perhaps we should start with what we have?" I suggested gently, overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.They brought out dress after dress. Beaded creations that weighed more than I did. Sleek modern gowns that were out of this world.For the next hour, I became a living doll. They dressed me and redressed me, one gown after another, until I was finally squeezed into a ball gown so full and heavy I could barely move in it.Arielle sat cross-legged on the sofa, acting as my junior fashion consultant. "That one makes you look like a cupcake," she declared about the puffy ball gown.I laughed, catching Dante's daughter's eye in the mir

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 128: A Better Start

    Gianna's POVI stood in front of the three-way mirror, studying my reflection as the designer's assistant adjusted the pins in my hair. The boutique was elegant, with cream walls. The kind of place that screamed old money and exclusivity.My body buzzed with nerves.Not just about dress shopping. About what had to happen first.Through the mirror, I could see Arielle sitting on one of the velvet chairs behind me, her hands folded in her lap. She looked nervous too. Good. At least I wasn't the only one.Dante stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, speaking in rapid Italian. Even from here, I could see the tension in his shoulders. His men were positioned throughout the boutique, Bruno by the door, two more outside, and I'd spotted at least one on the rooftop across the street when we'd arrived.Overkill, maybe. But I understood it now, after what he'd told me about the kidnapping."Miss Deluca?" The assistant smiled at me. "We're ready whenever you are."I blinked, momentarily

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 127: Mending Bridges

    Dante's POVMy eyes searched Gianna’s face and found sincerity, the way she was trying to reach my daughter, trying to be part of this family.The fear was still there, but I had to admit she was right. Gianna had always wanted us to go shopping, see the world like a normal family, she'd always said, and I'd never allowed it. This would be a good way to draw her closer.And she was right, I had the best security money could buy. Men who would die before letting anything happen to Ariel.I tried one last time to get out of it.“I’d only allow it if I came along. But I have a long list of approvals to get through, and they all relate to the wedding.”I pointed at the documents scattered across the surface.“I can’t just drop everything to go shopping, no matter how important it is. That’s why it makes more sense for the designer to come to you. It’s a win-win.”"We need your guards," she said. "You don't have to come. You're not meant to see the dress before the day anyway."“Like hell,

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 126: I Will Not Fail My Daughter

    Dante's POV"An idea?" I leaned back in my chair, trying to look casual even though I was curious about whatever she was about to suggest."Instead of having her come here tomorrow," she said, circling around the desk slowly, "Ariel and I could go to the designer’s store together. We could both choose the dress. Make it a bonding day."Before she could get too close, I pulled back. Every protective instinct I had roared awake. My body went rigid."No.""Dante, listen…""I said no, Gianna."She did not back down. Of course she did not. Stubborn woman."If we are going to get along, we need to spend time together."She closed the distance in one determined step, standing between my legs and forcing my eyes up to her. Having her that close did things to me I did not want to deal with. Her scent, the warmth of her skin, the way her dress framed her curves. Every part of me reacted at once, heat shooting through my veins."And shopping for dresses sounds like something she would enjoy. She

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 125: You Make All The Rules

    Dante's POVI shot Bruno a hard look, barely holding myself together."What was so urgent that you could not wait for me to come down?" I muttered, not bothering to face him.I pushed away from the door and started down the room."Apologies, Don." He followed behind me, his heavy steps scraping at my nerves. "I need you to sign off on some of the guests for tomorrow."Gianna stayed behind me, sliding her hands into her hair, her skin still flushed from everything that had almost happened.Behind me, her voice came out confused. "What is happening tomorrow?"I ignored her. Bruno handed me his tablet. I scrolled through the guest list and the timeline.In our world, there had to be an engagement party where all the leading clans and a few selected people were invited. Then the Mafia King introduced his betrothed to them before the wedding. It was tradition. A show of unity and power.I had not told Gianna because I did not want her looking for reasons to postpone things."Has everyone b
