"Calm down, darling." Alessio chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Natalia's waist. She did not resist, but the touch still felt unfamiliar. She guessed that was how every arranged marriage felt.

She continued to glare at her mother shamelessly dancing with Pedro Abarca, one of her father-in-law's Latin-Italian business associates. Their hands were all over each other, and it was no secret that Pedro was married with six adult children.

"I am about to have an aneurysm." Natalia bit o

  • HIS LOVE WAS A LIE: THE ITALIAN MAFIA'S MARRIAGE TRAP   10. LEVERAGE

    The gun going off had the entire reception hall in complete chaos. Alessio grabbed Natalia by her shoulders and pulled her into his chest, wrapping his broad arms securely around her as he looked around at the source of the attack.Natalia was panicking, her trembling eyes looking around. "Mom, where is Mom?" she asked hysterically."Calm down, Nat, we will find her." Alessia was rubbing comforting circles on her exposed back as he dragged her resisting frame to somewhere with a cover. Everybody was running. It was basically a stampede. And the assailant was still to be located.He felt stupid for not having his gun on him. He thought it would be risky if Natalia had seen it. But in this situation, Natalia figuring out his truth was better than being shot to death.“Alex, I don’t see Mom!” Natalia was looking around frantically.Alessio noticed it too - Aria Wellington were nowhere to be found. So were Pedro Abarca. Maybe they were snogging away from the crowd and the dang

    "Calm down, darling." Alessio chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Natalia's waist. She did not resist, but the touch still felt unfamiliar. She guessed that was how every arranged marriage felt. She continued to glare at her mother shamelessly dancing with Pedro Abarca, one of her father-in-law's Latin-Italian business associates. Their hands were all over each other, and it was no secret that Pedro was married with six adult children. "I am about to have an aneurysm." Natalia bit out. Alessio squeezed her waist, letting out an affectionate laugh even though a glint of fury passed through his wild eyes at Aria's blatant disregard for his and his family's reputation. "Are you going to make me a widower before our wedding night?" He winked down at her. A tint of pink touched Natalia's cheeks. Wedding night? She was so busy trying to get through the wedding day that she had not even thought about the wedding night. Of course, Andria had thought about it all in advance, t

  • HIS LOVE WAS A LIE: THE ITALIAN MAFIA'S MARRIAGE TRAP   8. A SWEET WEDDING DAY

    "Is it just me or is this going way too fast?" Natalia sighed as Andria fixed her veil. “Maybe I jumped into this way too fast?” "My darling, this is a wedding your mother wanted happening. Be grateful that the man you are marrying is someone as nice and sweet as Alex and not some thrice divorced, twice widowed asshole!" Her best friend rolled her eyes as the last of the flowers on the back of the veil was fixed."You look absolutely gorgeous!" Sasha clapped as she wiped away tears. Tears that her mother should have shed.But no, she was out there, wearing a dress meant for sex club orgies and preying on rich Italians.In her words, Italians were too open-minded to look down on an affair or two.Natalia was sure she had picked that notion from some outdated Harlequin novel.But on second thought, did she really want her mother fussing over her today?Oh sure, any daughter would want some delicate treatment from their doting mother on her special day, but their relationship w

  • HIS LOVE WAS A LIE: THE ITALIAN MAFIA'S MARRIAGE TRAP   7. THE TRAP IS SET

    Alessio drummed his calloused fingers against his steering wheel as he waited for Natalia to come out of her apartment building. He had arrived early with his silver Ferrari to fulfill his promise and make sure to woo her to the point that she would be contacting him helplessly if he was ever to ghost her again.Not that it mattered, but he had actually expected her to play hard to get. Or at least petty for ghosting her for two whole weeks. But she had folded so easily, putting up a show for about two minutes before doing exactly what his father and consigliere had predicted she would. Alessio did not know why he felt so disappointed. It was not as if he knew her well. No human had ever managed to have a first impression on him. Then why was he so affected by her? He did not want to prove Ricardo right by falling into the minx’s little love trap.Love?Where did that even come from?He jumped when Natalia knocked on his window. He stepped out immediately. “Hey.” He smiled,

  • HIS LOVE WAS A LIE: THE ITALIAN MAFIA'S MARRIAGE TRAP   6. PLAYING HARD TO GET

    It was no surprise that Aria was the least impressed by Alessio's dorky and humble personality. Which, in turn, meant that it was no surprise that she did not push Natalia when it came to follow-up dates with him, which really was not like her since she did not really care how Alessio was as a person as long as he had the Gretto surname attached to him. But Sasha had done her homework for Natalia and found out that there were more heirs contrary to Aria’s previous sources. "He is an only child. But his cousins are all shareholders. She probably doesn't think that Alessio is a good enough bait to get her claws into the Gretto business." Natalia sighed, blowing a stray strand of her brunette waves off her face as she scanned through files after files. "I don't know why she wants more money. There is enough money in her bank for some four generations to live with the same kind of extravagance as she does." "Probably the fifth too since the extravagance skipped right over you.

  • HIS LOVE WAS A LIE: THE ITALIAN MAFIA'S MARRIAGE TRAP   5. DINNER NOT SERVED

    "Your mother wants you back at the mansion for dinner." Sasha informed Natalia as the two of them stepped out into the afternoon sun."Am I invited?" Alessio asked."Mom does not invite outsiders to the mansion. Says it's her 'sacred space'." Natalia recited the age-old excuse.Alessio wanted to snort. He wondered what a woman like Aria Wellington could hold sacred. She definitely did not hold the institution of marriage sacred. And it was starting to look like nor did she hold any importance for a relationship as pure and sacred as that of a mother and a child."Alright then." He took her hand in his and kissed her knuckles, looking up with a twinkle in his eyes. "I hope to see you very soon, Miss Natalia Wellington."Natalia bit her lips to suppress a smile as she rolled her eyes. "I am busy till next weekend." She said.He nodded. "Guess I am lucky I have work to keep me company till then." "Alessio Gretto is the ultimate charmer!" Sasha squealed that evening as sh
