Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─As I got out of the car, I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Mama followed suit, and her lips were sealed tight. Not a single syllable escaped her, and the eerie silence that hung in the air made my heart race with fear.I took slow steps toward the front door. The key was hidden under the welcome mat, I retrieved it with trembling hands and reluctantly unlocked the door. The deafening silence that greeted me was suffocating.The front door loomed in front of me, and I approached it with a sinking feeling in my stomach. The key was hidden under the welcome mat, just as Mama had warned. I retrieved it with trembling hands and reluctantly unlocked the door. The deafening silence that greeted me was suffocating.Mama's presence behind me only added to the mounting dread. I kicked off my shoes, tears streamed down my face, and my thoughts were consumed by Enrico and Silvio. Every passing moment felt like an eternity as I struggled to come to terms wit
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 22 — Marry Her
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I tossed the duvet aside and sat on the edge of my bed, putting my elbows over my knees. I grabbed my cell phone and raised the blinds of my room. The daylight flooded in, illuminating the room as I stared at the sky through the ceiling-to-floor glass windows. Raking my hand through my hair, I got off the bed, wore my boxers, and made my way out of the bedroom. My penthouse is on the Upper East Side, but it's not just any penthouse. It has the best fucking view a man like me deserves.I grabbed my morning coffee from Glenna, my housekeeper. She eyed me warily, a question in her eyes. "What?" I asked. She flinched at the sight of my chiseled chest, which was quite unexpected as women usually swoon over my bare physique. They always seem to be entranced by my physique, but not her. "I need to clean your room," she ordered, cringing once more.I glanced at my chest, and my eyes landed on the beautiful red kiss marks glorifying my body. I let out a cocky smile, and wit
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 23 — Purification
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I slumped onto the living room couch and aimlessly flicked through the TV channels. As I heard the door creak open, I couldn't muster the energy to lift my head and see who it was. It was Grandpa, returning after spending an excruciating half-hour in the car with the underboss.When I peeked at them through the window, they seemed to be in a heated conversation in which the Underboss looked really upset. Grandpa sat on the couch on the opposite side and as I pivoted towards him, I noticed that he was staring uninterestedly at the ground, without uttering a single word.I frowned, "Grandpa?" He sucked in a sharp breath and didn't even spare me a glance. I called him once more, "Grandpa, are you alright?" I watched as he nodded, his gaze fixed on the floor. Suddenly, his shoulders began to shake, and I could see tears welling up in his eyes. Before I could react, a cry escaped his lips and I felt my heart skip a beat. With a sense of urgency, I sprang to my feet. A
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 24 — That's Enough
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"I want you to marry her. I want her to bear your name so that people will think twice before even considering harming her." It felt like he was trying to use me as a tool for settling scores for taking me in."Are you out of your mind, Linus?" I asked, disbelief and anger coursing through me. The very idea that he proposed was preposterous. "Marriage? Me? And Allegra Rossi? Your granddaughter?!" I shook my head in utter disbelief, hoping to make him realize how absurd the idea was. "What makes you think I would even consider such a thing?"He gave his head a shake, "I would have never asked you something like this if I wasn't desperate. Allegra is vulnerable, she needs someone strong, not me. You don't have to stay married to her, just until all this is over. They will make her life a living hell, Scott." "You're telling me, you want me to marry her until all this is over? That's ridiculous! I don't even believe in the concept of marriage, and I certainly won't be m
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 25 — The Ritual
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"I will not allow this!" Grandpa snapped, pacing back and forth in the living room. I stared at him and then at the shattered glass windows, the graffiti, the threatening messages. All of it was directed at us. At me and him. Aldo had said that he wanted to extend an olive branch to get me out of this situation. He said he wanted to make things right. But how could I trust him again? After all the pain he had caused me? He promised he would never hurt me again, but I couldn't shake the fear that lingered within me.He apologized and told me how much he admired me, I couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a facade. Would he really change? Or was this just another empty promise? The uncertainty weighed heavy on my mind.And it was the only way out of this mess. I had no choice left but to do it. It's the only way to regain my grandfather's respect and honor. These people won't leave us alone unless we take some drastic measures. Will it be enough? Will it be w
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 26 — Mrs. Allegra Mancini
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The underboss strode straight towards me, his eyes set ablaze with fury. At that moment, the entire church was silenced, and the only noise heard was the thunderous thudding of his shoes against the floor, emphasizing his uncontrollable rage.My mind went blank, unable to recall anything from the past few minutes. And just then, he came to a halt in front of the baptistry, extending his hand towards me, making my heartbeat spike up.My heart was pounding so hard as he gave me a slow nod, but, I knew what he wanted without a single word exchanged between us, and I cautiously took his hand. He yanked me out of the baptistry, and I gasped for air. Suddenly, his gaze shifted downward, and I shuddered as I realized that my breasts were exposed through my drenched dress.He ripped off his suit jacket and wrapped it around my trembling body, shielding me from prying eyes. The relief was tangible, and I exhaled a shaky breath. Amidst the sea of faces, he was the only one who
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 27 — I Always Like A Challenge
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I didn't know what was happening... We were in the elevator on our way up to his apartment, he was using his cell phone and I had no idea what I was doing here. My breath was heavy as I spoke up, "Do you seriously think that marrying me is what you want? I mean, I appreciate your support, but marriage is a huge step—" I stuttered.He turned his head towards me, giving me a piercing look that made me instantly shut my mouth, "I made it clear in front of everybody, Allegra. There's no going back now. It's happening, whether you like it or not. Tomorrow evening, you'll be officially Mrs. Mancini," he said with unwavering determination."But tomorrow evening? I thought we had at least a week to prepare—" I muttered, my heart racing."I changed my mind," he said coldly, leaving me in a state of shock and confusion.My throat constricted as I forced the words out, "But we're strangers, we can't just get married."He leaned in, a smirk forming on his lips, "Oh, we'll get
Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride Chapter 28 — Every Inch, Every Breath
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Oh my goodness! I quickly jumped off the counter and fumbled to fix my dress. My heart was racing as I cleared my throat and tried to compose myself. I even nervously smoothed down my hair, even though it was already in place. What on earth just happened?I had never allowed a man to get this close to me not even Aldo. With Silvio and Enrico it was different, they were like brothers to me but the Underboss, he was clearly flirting, right? The whole thing was kind of flirty and... I don't know I felt blood rushing to my cheeks at his proximity. I was feeling so off-balance with him so near me. He was a player, no doubt about it. His charm was like a magnet that drew women towards him, including Chiara. But I won't be one of them. I refuse to fall for his tactics, his charm, and the way he talks to women. He may know how to put a woman under his spell, but I am determined to keep my distance and protect my heart.I was getting married to him tomorrow and I know I hav
