Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā HIATUS NOTICE
Good day readers, I do apologise for the lack of updates for Mafia's Vendetta. I was originally going to continue with this in July again, but I've decided to publish updates every Saturday and Sunday. Finding the inspiration to continue with this was difficult, and I didn't want to simply write for the sake of writing. You all deserve a good story and a proper conclusion to Sienna's journey, be it with her first love Dante, new love, Christian, or loneliness. Weekend updates start from today, and please don't forget to follow me on social media for more news on this series as I don't always check the comments under this book. Thank you for sticking around after all this time. See you soon!

Christian Iām standing outside a hospital door and trying to contemplate the mind of some people. Nadia's daughter- and sister-in-law have been shot, presumably by her own husband. The worst part about the betrayal is that the sister-in-law convinced Nadia to let him stay. She said the husband is clean and free from drugs when Contessa has been feeding it to him in exchange for information. I still remember the joyful look on her face as she told Nadia this after so many mishaps and losses, this was going to be their clean start. Until the one who was supposed to love her ended up being the one to tear her world in two. For that, I would gladly rip the man to shreds with my own two hands. āChristian,ā My head snaps towards the voice I didnāt think I would hear in this hospital today, and my heart starts hammering. Sienna walks toward me with a strained smile and heavy makeup on her face, and Arman leads her in. He seems livid, but takes my hand when he sees me. āNadia is in with

Sienna Iām trying not to look over at Christian in the driverās seat and attempt to read his mind. We showed up quite unexpectedly last night, but the look on his face when he saw me wiped all my worries away. As messed up as my emotions are right now, knowing that Christian is by my side makes everything seem a bit better. Yes, I am well aware of how odd that sounds. āAre you sure you want to do this, Sienna?ā He asks me from the driverās seat. āAm I sure that I want to see the man I thought was dead all this time? No, but it needs to be done.ā I say, then realize how harsh that sounded coming out. āSorry.ā He shakes his head. āIf this will help, just know that I will be here for you no matter what happens,ā he says, and I know he means every word. The only problem is that I donāt exactly know what will happen now that Dante is back. āUp ahead; take a left and continue further. It's the only farmhouse in the area.ā I point and direct him to the safehouse Arman brought me to last

Christian I could feel the anger rippling off Sienna when she walked past me and immediately knew coming here was a mistake. Not only is she angry at Dante, but sheās also hurting a lot and Iām not simply meaning her broken ribs. She did not expect her reunion with Dante to be like this at all. āDrakos,ā came the voice of Dante as I was about to follow her out and turn around to face the man who might still hold Siennaās heart. He smirks when I look at him, arms tied behind his back and shaking his head while itās bowed. āWhat do you want?ā āSo youāre the one vying for Siennaās heart, are you?ā He chuckles, then looks back up at me. āLet me tell you why that will be the biggest mistake of your life.ā āI donāt need you to tell me anything about Sienna, Dante, what I already know is enough,ā I say, then turn to walk out of the door, but he stops me with one sentence. āSheāll never be yours completely, you know that right? A part of her will always pine for the man she loved and l

Sienna My meeting with Dante did not go as expected; for one, heās adamant that he knows nothing when I can tell heās lying. Thereās something heās not telling me, but Iāll have all the time to figure it out when we arrive in Greece. I didnāt want to pull Christian into this even more; Marla will surely call off our deals with the Greek Cartels after this. Not only that, but Christian wants to marry meā¦ I donāt actually know how to deal with that. Frankly, itās a bit too much for me right now. However, even as I think all this, Iām allowing Christian to hold my hand while we walk the halls to Armanās office. Weāre leaving in a few minutes, but thereās one person we need to inform about our departure. Well, two but I canāt seem to find her. āReady?ā Christian asks me when we neared the door. āAs Iāll ever be; thereās no point in staying here anymore when all weāll do is bring harm to them,ā I say, then raise my hand and knock on the door. Arman calls for us to enter and I take a d

Sienna Dario and Serenaās plane took off before us. Daniella got too excited and passed out within an hour. We still have ten hours to go, and right now, all I want to do is sleep; too much has happened and to be honest, I feel completely burnt out. Christian has been quiet since we left the Kuznetsov estate; well, not deathly quiet, just more reserved. He barely touches me, just light grazes, and it's like heās a million miles away. I wonder if he spoke with Dante and lied to me about it; come to think of it, heās been acting strangely since that night. My mind doesnāt allow me to ponder this further because six hours later, I wake up and see Christian looking out the window with an intensely worried look on his face. āHey,ā I call to him, watching how the smile changes his entire expression once he turns to look at me. āEverything okay?ā āEverything is perfect, Sienna,ā he says, looking every bit as exhausted as I felt a few hours ago. āDid you sleep well?ā I frown at his defle

ChristianāNo one is safe with me here; it would be in your best interest to let me go,ā Dante says after Sienna walks out, and he looks up at me with cold eyes. I shake my head. āThat decision is Siennaās to make since you are her captive,ā I say, about to turn around, but his words stop me.āYou love her, donāt you?āI turn my head to look at him and raise my eyebrow. āThat is none of your business,ā I say, and he chuckles.āAs all-encompassing as Siennaās love is, and trust me, her love is pure - it will also bring you so much more pain in the end. I mean, look at how far I fell because I allowed her into my heart.ā He says and scoffs. āI used to be the most feared man in New York before Sienna, and I thought her love only strengthened me. But as I look back now, I realise that thereās no such thing as love, just weakness.āāYou allowed yourself to be weakened, Dante; that blame you cannot place on Sienna,ā I say. āJust tell her what she wants to know, and then you can leave.āāDo

SiennaWhen I open my eyes to Christianās sleeping face, my heart warms at the sight of him. Last night I made it known to him that I am his even if he doubts me, and my persuasion seems to have worked. After mulling things over yesterday, I realised that the look I saw in Danteās eyes was anger. Not directed at me, but a plan was already forming in his head, and it did not concern me. When Dante gets released, he will want nothing to do with me as I do not factor into his plans anymore. I know Dante better than anyone, and that look was him wringing out his last love for me and replacing it with vengeance. He always called me his weakness, and I know now that thereās no place for me at his side anymore.So, where does that leave me now? With Dante back, this war isnāt mine anymore. I will have to step aside and allow him to continue being a leader to his family. But then again, how do we know that Allessio wonāt reactivate his mindless soldier side? And what about Daniella? Will he

Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā Prologue: The Mafia King's Trophy
Matteo Dragonetti - 21 Years Old I watch her get out of the armored limousine and know immediately that sheās my target. Dressed in white and looking as radiant as any blushing bride should look on their wedding day. The only problem is that her last name is Cerulli, and she owes my family a blood debt. Things would have been fine if my father didnāt complete my Dragonetti Blood Training two years ago, then I didnāt have to step up to the plate. But then I had to become Capo at nineteen when they attempted to assassinate my mother. There would have been no blood feud or vendetta, but they decided to touch someone as innocent as Sienna Dragonetti, and now they will all pay the fucking price. āThe blushing bride,ā my cousin, Lukas, comments when he sees her. āSheāll regret being a Cerulli after today.ā āHmm,ā I comment, checking my weapons once again. Weāve planned this ambush for weeks and know exactly which families are inside and which are our allies. āAfter today, not only will s

Sienna - 5 Years LaterWhoever said that a second chance at a first-time love was impossible was lying through their teeth. Whoever said that a 20% chance of falling pregnant was a pipe dream hasnāt seen my three-year-old son running through my garden on the original Dragonetti Estate.Of course, giving birth nearly killed me again, so we eventually had my womb removed. This means that I cannot have any more children at all, so my protectiveness over Matteo has increased tenfold. Heās Danteās only heir, the only child I can give him after Daniella, so he needs to be protected at all costs.These last few years have been anything but easy. We recently came to an agreement with my half-brother about my supposed claim to his birthright. He understands now that I have zero interest in the throne and that no one will come to claim it; he and Dante even came to an amiable accord.Nico and Dario have branched out into different parts of Italy and now rule as Capos in their own right. Dante s

SiennaāCome back to me, mia regina. I need you,ā I can hear Danteās voice as if my head is being held underwater, but where I am feels safer, so I donāt try to bridge the surface. Itās warm here; thereās no constant thoughts or overwhelming feelingsā¦ thereās nothing. I havenāt felt ānothingā in ages, and right now, I am content.āIām so sorry,ā Danteās voice comes again and forces me to pay attention to him. āYou saw the scared side of me trying to forget about you through using women. I shouldnāt have fought what I felt for you, I should have been open about everything from the start. This is my fault; yet again, you end up close to death because of me.āI try to frown, but my face feels stiff; in fact, everything feels stiff right now. Does Dante still love me? That fact alone should make me happy, but I think that I am past feeling anything for anyone. He crushed me when I walked into his office and shattered my heart like those plates I dropped.Will we ever get past this, thoug
Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā Epilogue: End Game - Chapter 2
DanteāFind her!ā Fuck, fuck fuck! What just happened? Itās well after nine; why the fuck was Sienna not in bed? I pace the floor and drag my hands through my hair in frustration; thereās no way she could have gotten far, not with the men after her.A few seconds later, I hear the gate to the villa crashing open, and when I rush out to see what the fuck is happening, I see an SUV speeding away. Dario comes running towards me, with a concerned look on his face, and he hands me his cell phone.āShe took my SUV,ā he says, and I can see the little blip that is Sienna rushing to what I assume to be her cottage off the coast. I hand my little brother his cellphone back and give him a nod of thanks before deciding to follow Sienna.Why did she even run out like that? I thought we were through, I thought this is what she wanted! So why did she look so fucking shattered when she saw what I was doing with another woman?āFuck, Sienna,ā I growl while looking at the GPS and seeing Darioās SUV co
Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā Epilogue: End Game - Chapter 1
SiennaI feel like an idiot. Not only does Dante not truly want me, but Iām a product of an affair my mother had years ago. A mafia bastard; not a true Vincenzo, and the fact alone makes me hate myself even more.No wonder my mother never cared for my fatherās infidelities; she had been unfaithful right at the start of her marriage. Did my father know about it? No, if he did, then I would have been killed a long time ago along with my mother.I sigh and sit up in bed; itās been three weeks, and Dante hasnāt been back into this room. After he told me about everything, he took it upon himself to turn into a ghost, and we havenāt seen one another since.Dario told me that the day Dante ākidnappedā me, there was a sniper stationed at the cemetery, but they took care of him before he could fire his rifle. All this time, I thought he came for me because he wanted me, or he still loved me when in fact, Iām simply here for my own safety. But even so, why am I here? Why try to keep me safe if

DanteThat wasnāt supposed to happen; that wasnāt supposed to fucking happen!I slam my fist against the tiled shower wall and let out a frustrated growl when I see blood against the ruined tiles. How did we go from arguing to fucking? There was nothing intimate about what we just did, nothing at all, just a raw, primal need for me to claim whatās mine.But Sienna is not mine, not anymore. Sheās only here because of the hit on her life, anyway. But then a-fucking-gain, why do I even care that she has a hit out on her? She wanted to be stupid and step back onto Italian soil, so she should face the consequences.Fuck, I need to get out of here for a few days to clear my head.Iām about to turn the taps and get out when I feel Siennaās arms wrap around my waist. Sheās naked against my body, and I can feel every dip and curve of her against me. I breathe out a sigh, then she kisses the scars on my back, and I lean my head back.āWhat are you doing, Sienna?ā I ask, fighting the comfortabl

SiennaItās late evening, and Danteās scent teases me when I amble into our shared walk-in closet; a shiver shoots up my spine, causing goosebumps to pucker all over my skin. As much as I hated to admit it, Dante still had the same effect on me as he did back when we lived in New York.Slipping on a silk camisole and shorts, I sigh as everything hits me at the same time, and I leave the walk-in and head straight to sit back on the bed.I thought that my feelings for him had died; I thought that I had replaced him with Christian, but the truth is that Christian was simply a scab forming over an old wound in my heart. And once that scab fell off, what would have been left of me? What would have been left of Christian?Those scars on Danteās back sort of brought me down to earth, and I remembered that he wasnāt just this monster who kidnapped me. He went through literal hell at the hands of Allessio Speranzini, and somehow I still blamed him for almost killing me.I blamed him for doing
Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā Act 9: King's Gambit - Chapter 3
DanteI knew that getting Sienna back here would cause her to push back, but I didnāt expect her to be this fucking stubborn. The look of disgust in her eyes when she looks at me bothers me a fuck ton, but I canāt force her to love me again.Sheāll see that being here is in her best interest. I finish up in the shower, dry off and walk across the bedroom to my closet, but I can feel her eyes on me. When I turn my head to face her, she quickly looks away. I canāt help but grin at her reaction because even though weāve been apart for over twelve years, I still know Sienna.After throwing on a pair of boxers, I head to the bed, and her eyes widen when she sees me. She sits up in bed with a horrified expression on her face and a trembling hand over her mouth.āWhā¦what happened to you?ā she stutters as her eyes take in the long thick, jagged welts all over my torso. āSperanziniās favorite toy was a barbed whip,ā I say as I get in bed and turn off the light on the nightstand. āStaring at
Mafia's VendettaĀ Ā Ā Act 9: King's Gambit - Chapter 2
SiennaI sit on the once familiar bed and draw my knees closer to my chest. Never in a million years did I think that I would feel this hopeless again; trapped in my own home by my husband like some prisoner. That Sienna died a long time ago, and now she seems to have returned.Dante hasnāt been back since he brought me here, and I didnāt hear him lock the door, but I am still too apprehensive to leave this bedroom. There are a lot of memories here, some that are threatening to choke me with their traces of Daniella, but I push them down. Hopefully, I donāt snap soon.A movement at the bedroom door gets my attention, and I jump up, fully expecting Dante to come back after what happened this afternoon. What I didnāt expect was Sylvana and Serena to be standing at my door with Sylvana holding a tray of food.āSeems like deja vu, just flipped around,ā I say, recalling that I did the same to them when they were taken by Dario and Nico.Theyāre both wearing sheepish smiles as they approac
