The hotel room was on the fourteenth floor of a midtown building that Dante had paid for in cash under a name that didn't belong to anyone living. He had chosen it because it had two exits, a service stairwell that opened onto a side street, and a direct line of sight from the window to the entrance of the building across the road where two of his men were positioned. He had been in New York for eleven days now, and he had made sure not to sleep in the same location twice.

  • MAFIA BRIDE   CHAPTER 60: THE ALMOST TRUTH

    Later in the afternoon after the meeting, Isabella and Luca were alone in the living room watching a movie. Isabella was the one actually doing the watching, while Luca was more interested in spending time with her.They had been there for over two hours, and the scene looked like something straight out of a romantic drama before Isabella broke the spell with a shocking and unexpected question."Tell me what actually happened," she said.Luca looked at her in confusion. “You just finished watching the movie, Bella, I didn't even pay attention.”“I'm not talking about this movie, Luca. The night my father was arrested," she said. "Tell me everything. Not the version you've given me before in pieces when I was angry and you were defending yourself. I want you to tell me what really happened."Luca suddenly went pale. This was a conversation he was hoping would no longer come up, but here it was again. He tried to look calm and composed, but there was no forthcoming idea on how to tackle

    The hotel room was on the fourteenth floor of a midtown building that Dante had paid for in cash under a name that didn't belong to anyone living. He had chosen it because it had two exits, a service stairwell that opened onto a side street, and a direct line of sight from the window to the entrance of the building across the road where two of his men were positioned. He had been in New York for eleven days now, and he had made sure not to sleep in the same location twice.His contact arrived twelve minutes late, which was already a problem he found difficult to ignore. The man's name was Ferris, and he worked as a private security contractor whose legitimate clients provided excellent cover for the less legitimate work he did on the side. He was efficient, discreet, and punctual, which was the entire reason Dante had used him three times before. The twelve minutes of lateness were therefore not a small thing.Dante was standing at the window when Ferris knocked. He ignored him at fir

  • MAFIA BRIDE   CHAPTER 58: Luca's Wake Up Call.

    The meeting was called for ten in the morning and by five minutes to that time, every man who had been summoned was already present.Isabella had not been summoned officially, but she had still followed the sound of boots and serious voices down to the east wing conference room and stood in the open doorway until Luca took notice of her presence. He looked at her for a while without any visible expression, then he slowly pulled out the chair beside him at the head of the table and nodded at it. She moved with pride and grace, taking the seat without a word and not even bothering to thank him. Nobody in the room said anything or grumbled about her presence, but she was very sure it was because of their fear and respect for Luca.There were fourteen men in total seated round the table… Senior lieutenants, operational heads, and then two men she didn't recognize who had the look of outside counsel brought in for specific information. Riccardo sat three seats from Luca's right, with his a

    The next morning Isabella woke up with a plan already formed in her head, which was how she knew she hadn't really slept at all.She lay still for a few minutes, listening to the sounds of the household coming to life around her. She got up, washed her face, and dressed slowly. When she was ready she walked to the window and pulled the curtain back, letting the morning light into the room. She stood there for a moment, one hand resting on the window ledge a few inches from where the device was fixed to the underside of the frame, and she spoke to herself in a quiet but audible voice."I need to ask Luca about the east wing security schedule," she said to no one. "He mentioned they were changing the rotation this week."There was no east wing security schedule change, and Luca had mentioned no such thing. But whoever was listening to the device didn't know that, and if that information reached Dante, he would spend time trying to verify something that didn't exist. Small and simple, bu

  • MAFIA BRIDE   CHAPTER 56: EYES EVERYWHERE

    Isabella read the message three times before she put the phone face down on the bed."Pregnancy looks really good on you. Hope you enjoyed shopping?"She sat completely still for a moment, keeping her breathing even and her face completely blank in case anyone was watching. And that was the whole point now, wasn't it? Someone was watching. Someone had been watching close enough to see her at that boutique today, close enough to report back to Dante in real time, close enough to know exactly what she looked like in a maternity dress standing next to Luca Moretti while a frightened attendant wrapped a two hundred thousand dollar necklace with shaking hands.She picked up the phone again and deleted the message, then stood up from the bed and walked to the window as casually as she could manage. Outside, the estate grounds were quiet. Guards moved in their usual rotation, unhurried and professional. The garden was still… Nothing looked wrong. Nothing looked different. And that was exactl

    Luca looked around anxiously. It had been over thirty minutes since Isabella wandered off, and she was yet to be back. He knew how women loved to take their time when it came to shopping, but he was never comfortable whenever she was out of his sight.Unable to bear the suspense anymore, he headed off towards the direction she had followed, asking for directions from attendants he came across. A few minutes later, he saw a small crowd of customers gathered in the distance, with attendants also present. He wanted to ignore them and focus on searching for Isabella, but curiosity got the better of him.As he got closer, the crowd parted a little and he saw a sight that immediately sparked rage inside him. Isabella was being scolded by the supervisor, and the surrounding attendants and a few customers were throwing rude remarks at her as she calmly tried to explain herself."What the fuck is going on here?" He asked calmly, not wanting to react before finding out the cause of the commotio

    Isabella pulled into the quiet parking lot of the private medical center. She turned off the engine of her car, and then rested her forehead briefly on the steering wheel. She was always nervous anytime she had her doctor's appointment…a mixture of fear and hope, and then the constant worry she alw

    Hours later, long after Isabella had calmed her head and was deep in thought, thinking about how best to handle Luca…her phone rang. She reached for it, then hesitated when she saw the name on the screen…Dante Romano. She stared at it for a while, then finally decided to answer.“Hello?”“Bella!,”

    The next morning, Isabella woke up tired but with a smile. She was still thinking about the previous night with her ex fiance, Dante. His familiar voice, the comfort of his presence, and the warmth in his smile. It was like finding a long forgotten part of herself again, a part lost when everything

    Isabella hated every minute of the ride. The lights of the city that usually gave her so much peace and joy now seemed to be mocking her, lighting up her vulnerability at the mercy of the killer she had spent so long hiding from. Despite her determination to remain bold and calm, her heart kept thu
