LOGINHe wasn't supposed to look at her the way he did. And she wasn't supposed to feel Anything. Louisa Delaney gets bound to an Italian Mafia Don of a secretive and dangerous mafia family. After being manipulated by her husband into accepting surrogacy in return for money, Louisa steps into this Don’s dangerous world— with his child growing in her. From the moment Alessandro De Luca looked at her, something dangerous ignited. He was everything she didn't want to get involved with. Intense. Possessive. Powerful. Her heart was beginning to waver, his charm had began to slowly get to her until a blow hits her. He was married. Now she’s trapped in a family who hid their secrets behind a deceiving smile and a venomous wife who wants her gone while on the outside her indifferent husband suddenly cares and wants her back by all means. It's either her head or her heart. Because what happens when a man she was meant to avoid and forget… starts acting like she already belonged to him? “The mafia wanted a child, Alessandro wanted her”
View MoreAlessandro stood at his bedroom patio the next morning, hands fused into his pocket as the cold morning breeze wafted through him like a mocking reminder of the storm and ache waging a war in his chest. He was all dressed up in something casual and ready to drive out of the villa that had turned into hell for him in the past twelve hours. He hadn't even checked up on Louisa. Stepping into the bedroom two doors away would mean peeling off scabs from a fresh injury.His phone rang in his pocket and when he reached for it, Eric’s number was displayed. “What's the report?” His voice was ragged like wheels grinding on stones.“Get here now, Don. We are fucked.” The door slammed shut behind Alessandro as he forced his legs down to the room Louisa had spent the night in. He knocked once. Twice. Thrice. Only silence and the echoes of the heavy thump of his knuckle on the door responded. “Louisa,” He called, her name tasting like something bittersweet in his mouth.With his patience runn
The dinner was silent.And Louisa hated every bit of the suffocating tension between them. Only the cutlery clinked against the plates and the intense look he had pinned on her as she brought the fork to her mouth in a robotic motion. He was yet to realize her betrayal but she’d just found something shocking that had her rethinking every single thing that had gone down in the past months. He knew her even before she ever met him. He stalked her or probably had men taking photos of every single thing she did. Once in the kitchen a couple of minutes later, with hands stiff under the cold running faucet and lost in the storm that was her mind, only Alessandro’s warm hold on her waist pulled her back. “We shouldn't hide things from each other” His thumb rubbed her midriff subtly. “We did anyway,” she scoffed. He spun her around and cupped her face in his palm. “I–” he faltered to search for the right words. “I only happened to witness that bastard raise his voice at you in public a
Bang!The retort’s steel door shut with a cold slam, fire crackling from behind the hot furnace as Alessandro stood a few distances away with both hands tight in his pocket. The air was thick with an acrid smell oozing from the retort. “The car’s been towed to the scrap yard, everything appears to be quite normal except those cops down there.” Eric stood next to him, mirroring his rigid stance. “You know what they need” “I’ll have their twenty percent wired and they should be on their way.” Alessandro began moving and Eric followed, their footsteps thudding in sync down the empty crematorium space while the retort rumbled faintly behind. He pushed the door open and got out into the scrapyard covered with heaps of metals and broken car parts littered across the grounds. Two police men in uniforms stood at the corner chugging down beer and chatting lowly between themselves. “What's the report?” Alessandro asked as soon as he approached them. The first man tipped his beer glas
“Remember the deal, Louisa. If you love Alessandro, you won't warn him” Gleb flashed her a smile, his hand sliding up to her thigh but she was quick to swat it off, hands tight on her bag. He smirked, reached for his contact card, and slid it into her hands. She bolted out of the car immediately, slammed it shut, and watched it zoom away. Her lashes fluttered and tears rolled down her cheek. Dabbing her eyes off she turned to stare at the building right in front of her. She was at the city hospital. The backlit LED lettering displayed the hospital's name in silver hues—clean and modern. Through the transparent glass door, she could see the nurses move about, and a few other people her mind could barely even comprehend moved by in a blur. “Lilian Delaney, please” she said to one of the nurses as soon as she stepped into the nurse's station. She had no idea how she could wear a pretentious look to Alessandro once she was back at the Villa. Not after giving in to those men’
