I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest. I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter. “Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asks. I blink. I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone. My lips tremble as I force the truth down my throat, “Yes, I do.” I murmur, my voice a little over a whisper. ~~~~ Ariel Hannah Boone didn't know what life had in store for her when she woke up on her twin sister's wedding day, only to find out her sister had run away. She went into panic when her mother insisted she take her place because Dermos Salvatore was no man to joke with. Dermos was the most feared Don in the whole of Sicily, one who killed without care. A blood thirsty murderer with no remorse. In an attempt to save her family from his wrath, she takes her sister's place at the wedding. Pain, suffering, and betrayal are all she knows the moment she became his. Secrets begin to unveil as she realises her family isn't what it seems. And when whispers of her sister's disappearance reach her, she finds out the truth. He never wanted Ariella; it had always been her. Ariel has to choose between a love built on lies or betraying her sister and family. She was his bride, and he was her prison, yet he would never let her go.

THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison) 146
Chapter 146Ariel's POV I woke up slowly, like I was rising through water.Everything felt heavy first. My eyelids, my arms, even my breath. There was a dull pressure sitting behind my eyes, a steady ache that pulsed with every breath I drew in. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just lay there, listening to the faint hum around me, trying to remember how to exist inside my own body again.Then the pain came sharper.It started in my ribs like a warning, so sudden and tight. I sucked in a breath too fast, regretting it immediately.That only made it worse. A dry cough tore through my chest, shallow and weak, but enough to send another wave of pain through my side.I froze, my hand instinctively pressing against my ribs.Something is wrong.I forced my eyes open and the light above me greeted me, way too bright at first, making everything blur together. A white ceiling, soft shadows, and a faint smell of antiseptic that didn’t belong anywhere I remembered.My throat felt dry as I gulpe

Chapter 145Ariel’ POVThe bullet blast went through the space, but Dermos didn't drop, he still sat strong with his eyes wide open.But someone fell, and it wasn't Ariella.Valerio's body dropped flat with a hole in his skull and blood dropping.For a second, I couldn’t blinkThen Carlos rushed to Dermos, untying the rope around his hands.“Get the fuck away from me!” Dermos yelled.“I know you hate me, but this isn't the time for this. They'll soon be here,” Carlos replied, as he untied his hands. Then did the same for me.As I stood, my eyes landed on Ariella's at once. She stared back at me for a full minute before turning and running off.“Come on, we have to go,” Carlos said, just as a bullet tore through the wall by my side.I ducked and ran with Dermos coming behind me and Carlos leading the way.A man rushed at Carlos, he ducked and caught him, sending him to the wall and firing at him twice.Then, another came but fired, hitting Carlos on his shoulder before Carlos responded

Chapter 144Dermos’ POVThe gunshots didn’t sound like anything at first, just sharp cracks splitting through the air, too fast for my brain to process.Then, Marcus dropped, right beside me..My chest tightened. “Marcus—!”The word ripped out of me as I lunged forward, but my feet barely moved before more shots rang out. Marcus hit the ground hard and didn’t move a muscle. I stood still, staring at his lifeless body as blood pooled the floor around him, snapping something in me.“No—no, no, no—” I muttered, shaking my head as I stared at him. “Get up… come on, get up…”But he didn’t. My stomach twisted violently as I stood frozen, my mind refusing to catch up with what my eyes were seeing.This wasn’t supposed to happen. This wasn’t how this was supposed to go.I lifted my head slowly to Carlos, he was standing a few feet away, completely untouched by any of it.He looked calm as he watched Marcus’ lifeless body. Our eyes met seconds later, and in that moment, everything made sense

Chapter 143Ariel’s POVThe sound of the gunshot didn’t fade. It lingered, ringing and echoing in the air, splitting something open inside my chest that I couldn’t put back together.Sarah’s body jerked as the bullet hit her in the stomach. Everything shattered with it.“No!!” I screamed, hearing my own voice echoing loudly in my ears.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.My eyes locked on Sarah as her body jerked from the impact, her hand instinctively flying to her tummy. Blood, too much of it, started seeping through her fingers almost immediately.“No…” The word slipped out of me without permission. “No, no—Sarah—”My legs moved before my mind did.I dropped beside her, my hands hovering uselessly over the wound like I didn’t know where to touch, what to do, how to fix something like this.“Sarah, look at me,” I said quickly, my voice shaking now, breaking in ways I couldn’t control. “Hey—hey, stay with me, okay? You’re fine. You’re fine, just—just stay with me.”Her breathing was u
