Dante's POV

The suggestion hit me like a cold splash of water. The thought of her working somewhere else, under someone else's authority, surrounded by men I didn't know, didn't trust...

"No." The word came out meaner than I intended. "Absolutely not."

"So which is it?" She challenged, tilting her head. "You don't want me working for you, but you don't want me working anywhere else either?"

"That's not what I said." I pulled her closer, my hands tightening on her waist. "I would more than love

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 278: The Real Explosion

    DANTE'S POV"What the hell are you talking about?" The words came out harsher than I intended, rough with immediate rejection."Let me do this." She turned to face me, her eyes pleading. "Please. I'm what Lorenzo wants most. What if I use myself to draw him out? Make him think I'm vulnerable, separated from you. He'll come for me, and when he does, you'll be ready.""That's a great idea." Russo nodded enthusiastically, his face lighting up. "Finally, a solid plan."My hand slammed down on the table hard enough to make several men jump, hard enough to send pain shooting through my injured shoulder."No." I stood, ignoring the agony that lanced through my body. "That's not an idea. I'm not putting my wife's life at risk.""She's offering herself." Russo spread his hands, his tone reasonable. "This is the only way to draw Lorenzo out. To end this once and for all.""That is not happening." I leaned forward, my voice dropping to a growl. "My wife is not using herself as bait. Lorenzo is a

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 277: The Bait

    DANTE'S POV The insult hung in the air. Beside me, Gianna tensed, but her face remained perfectly composed. A poker face that would've done any professional gambler proud. I leaned back in my chair, ignoring the pull on my shoulder. "Interesting question, Carlo." I let my gaze travel over him slowly, deliberately. "Tell me, how are your wives doing? Oh wait, that's right. Both of them left you. What was it, over a year ago? And you still haven't found them." His face flushed dark red, the color creeping up from his collar. "Your own house isn't even in order." I continued, my voice taking on a harder edge. "We all know why they ran. Your toxic masculinity, your fists flying every time you felt disrespected. You beat them both until they couldn't take it anymore, and they disappeared into the night. Two women so terrified of you they'd rather vanish than stay another day under your roof." Carlo's mouth opened, then closed. No words came out. His eyes dropped to the table, his sho

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 276: Breaking the Throne Room

    DANTE'S POVThe challenge in her eyes sparked a domineering and primal need to prove my strength.Before I could think better of it, I bent and reached for her.Pain exploded through my shoulder the instant my hands made contact, a groan tearing from my throat.But I didn't set her down.Instead, I tossed her over my good shoulder, my body screaming in protest."Dante!" She yelped, her fists pounding against my back. "Stop it. Put me down."I carried her the three steps to the bed and deposited her on the mattress. Greater pain lanced through my injured shoulder, radiating down my arm and across my chest. I couldn't suppress the groan that escaped, deeper and rougher than the first."Look at that." I straightened slowly, breathing through the ache that threatened to buckle my knees. "Easy. Now I can just make it to the door. Think I'll be able to?"She scrambled to her knees on the bed, glaring at me with a mixture of fury and concern. "No. I swear I will fight you every step of the w

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 275: Twisted Love

    DANTE'S POVMy gaze travelled across the grounds below.Bruno had informed me earlier that security had been amped up at Gianna's order. Guards were stationed everywhere now. At the gates, along the perimeter walls, positioned at every entrance. Their muscular figures moved in coordinated patterns across the lawn.Getting shot had been a miscalculation. I'd underestimated Lorenzo's ruthlessness, his willingness to use his own daughter as leverage.He'd used Gianna as a shield, positioning himself behind her when I'd raised my gun. The moment replayed in my mind with crystalline clarity. Her body between us, her eyes wide with terror.The split second where I had to choose.I'd chosen to save her from falling, from smashing her head against the concrete floor when Lorenzo shoved her toward me. In that moment, letting Lorenzo escape had been the right decision. The only decision.I couldn't stand the thought of anything happening to her, let alone bear the idea of losing her.As her hus

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 274: Between Care and Craving

    GIANNA'S POVMoving lower required him to recline against the pillows. He complied, though his gaze never left me. That focused intensity made my hands shake.I can do this. I just need to keep my composure. Focus on the task, not on the nights we'd spent tangled together, learning every way to make each other come apart.My fingers trembled as I moved to his waistband. I need to stay focused. Detached. This is just another task.Except nothing about this feels detached."You'll need to remove these." I gestured to his pants, keeping my voice level."Will I?" The corner of his mouth twitched. "Or do you want to do it for me?""Stop teasing me.""Yes, Nurse Gianna?" He unbuttoned his pants with his good hand, his eyes glinting with mischief. "I'm just following orders."I helped him ease the fabric down his hips, keeping my gaze fixed firmly on my task. Just bathing him. That's all this is.Except he's completely naked now, and there's nothing simple about the way my body responds. His

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 273: His Personal Nurse

    GIANNA'S POVI pushed open the door to Dante's room, carrying the basin of warm water carefully balanced in my hands.The doctor had cleared him of any immediate danger. His recovery was faster than expected, but he still hadn't been cleared to move around on his own.He was supposed to be closely monitored to make sure he rested and didn't put any strain on his injuries.That someone, apparently, was me.Not that Dante had made it easy. He'd been impossible since the moment he regained consciousness. Yesterday, I'd caught him trying to get out of bed on his own, despite the doctor's orders.This morning, I walked in to find him sitting up, testing the movement in his injured shoulder with a grimace he clearly thought I wouldn't notice.The man had the self-preservation instincts of a kamikaze pilot.Dante sat on the edge of the bed now, already shirtless. The bandage across his shoulder was fresh, changed earlier this morning."Your personal nurse has arrived," I teased before settin

  • Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride   Chapter 46: Watching Him Undress

    Gianna’s POV A cocky grin spread across Dante’s face as he withdrew his hand from my dress, fingers dragging against my skin like he wanted me to feel every inch of his retreat. When his grip loosened on my wrists the sudden absence of pressure made me sway, dizzy from the force he’d held me with

    Gianna’s POV I walked the length of the room for what felt like the hundredth time, fury rolling through me. Dante DeLuca, with all his arrogance, had actually ordered me to my room at breakfast, like he was the principal and I was the disobedient student. What angered me most was that I had to ag

    Gia’s POV Bruno walked into the dining room mid-bite, and honestly, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear he looked like a big, scary man suddenly made harmless. He wore an almost dorky smile, eyes bouncing between Dante and me as though he had stepped into forbidden territory. He leaned down and w

Part of me wanted him to. God help me, I wanted him to.My heart
