Tony stood frozen, his eyes wide. "Sir? Did you just say... married?, what does that even mean?.”

I turned my back to him, staring out the window at the perfectly manicured lawn. A lawn my son might never see again. "You heard me. No statements. Deny everything."

"But, Mr. President... the rumors are specific. They're saying it was a ceremony in Italy. That there are... photos."

My blood ran cold. Photos. Dante's game was more vicious than I imagined. He wasn't just holding Marco; he was destroying his name, and mine along with it. A married son? To a man? To a criminal? My conservative base would tear me apart.

"Photos can be faked," I said, my voice like gravel. "We will say it's a desperate smear campaign by my political enemies. Now, get out."

The door clicked shut, leaving me in silence. I picked up the secure line, my finger hovering over the button that would connect me to the CIA Director. But I stopped.

I couldn't trust them. Not with this. The official channels were too slow

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   THE ECHO OF WAR

    Dante’s POVI sat by the window, cigarette half-burned, the ember glowing against the dark. Down below, Rico and Leo were doing perimeter checks. The rest of the men were asleep, or resting. Marco had turned in hours ago, but I couldn’t bring myself to lie down. Not tonight.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lorenzo’s face. The way he said he still loved me. The worst part? A small, broken piece of me wanted to believe him.But belief was a luxury I couldn’t afford anymore.Stubbing out my cigarette and reaching for the gun on the table. The metal was cold against my palm. The door creaked. I didn’t turn. “You should be asleep,” I said quietly.“I couldn’t,” came Marco’s voice.He padded closer, the floorboards groaning under his bare feet. “You’re not sleeping either.”“I don’t sleep much,” I replied.He stopped beside me, looking out the window at the empty fields beyond. “Is it about him?”The question was simple, but it hit like a blade.Turning to face him “It’s about everythin

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   THE PRESIDENT'S GAME

    President Powell’s POVThe call came through just as dawn broke over the White House lawn.Lorenzo’s voice carried that usual, calm detachment that irritated me to no end.“Mr. President,” he said. “I delivered your message. Marco refused. He’s staying with Dante.”For a moment, I said nothing. I simply stared out the window, watching the first light paint the city gold. Beneath that beauty lay a nest of vipers, politicians, generals, informants, all mine to command. And yet one boy, one defiant son, had the audacity to defy me.“Repeat that,” I said quietly.“He said he’s married now. To Dante. His words, not mine.”A slow heat built behind my eyes. I set the receiver down gently on the desk and exhaled through my nose. “Thank you, Lorenzo. That will be all.”When the line went dead, I let the mask slip. The calm, controlled smile vanished.I slammed my palm against the mahogany, “Ungrateful little bastard,” I muttered. “After everything.”My reflection in the window looked older,

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   BLOODLINES

    Dante's POVThe woman’s hands shook as she poured the coffee, the dark liquid spilling over the rim and spreading across the table. I didn’t care about the mess. My gaze never left Lorenzo.He looked older. The years had carved lines into his face, but his eyes still carried that same humour with a tint of something dangerous.“Cut the act,” I said. “Why are you here?”He leaned back, the chair creaking under him. For a heartbeat, his expression softened, or maybe I imagined it. “We both know why I’m here,” he said quietly. “It’s about Marco.”“Marco doesn’t want anything to do with you,” I said. “Or with his father.”Lorenzo’s eyes sharpened. “Yeah, he said as much.”I stood before I even realized I’d moved. “Then, we are done here.” Lorenzo didn’t flinch. He banged his hand on the table. “You think protecting him means erasing me? You forget where we come from. The love I have for you.”I wanted to tell him he was wrong. Lorenzo pushed on. “Marco’s not a replacement for me, Dante

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US

    Marco’s POVSafe. The word sounded hollow in his mouth.All night I’d felt weird and uncomfortable, as I’d seen the look in Dante’s eyes after he met Lorenzo.Now, I studied him as he spoke with Leo. His voice was calm, his movements precise, but his thoughts were obviously elsewhere. With him.Lorenzo.I’d heard bits of their history from Rico and the others, as well as seen the photograph. When Dante finally turned toward me, I tried to look composed. “You sure we can trust your friend?” I asked.“He’s not my friend,” Dante said. “Not anymore.”But the way he said it didn’t sound final.He poured himself a drink, eyes avoiding mine.“Was he important to you?” The question slipped out before I could stop it.Dante froze. Then, slowly, “He was. Once.”That hurt more than I expected. I nodded, pretending it didn’t. “And now?”He looked at me for a long time. “Now I’m trying not to repeat old mistakes.”I wanted to believe him. God, I did. But some part of me knew that ghosts like Lore

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   ASHES AND EMBERS

    Dante’s POVTen years, and I still hadn’t forgiven him. Maybe I never would. He’d sold me out in Milan, walked away while I bled for the both of us. And yet, standing in that room tonight, hearing his voice again, I could almost feel the same fire trying to drag me under. One memory came unbidden to me, on our trip to paris, kissing under eiffel tower, touching him and getting him half naked, not caring if someone saw us, but we had the cover of the night.Him bending me over, me trying to stop him from doing it, but not really. I was still a young boy, and he was the first to take me and see me in a vulnerable state.My face buried on my arm, trying to hide my moans, not letting anyone know what was happening. Not letting anyone hear me.Hearing his breathing getting faster, his thrusts stronger and deeper.“Fuck, Dante.” He groaned, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear. “You’re so tight.”“Don’t” I gasped, my hands clenching the railing. “Don’t talk.”He laughed, a sound

  • THE MAFIA'S REVENGE BRIDE   GHOSTS OF THE SAME FIRE

    Lorenzo’s POVHe hadn’t changed, not where it mattered. The same posture, half-ready to strike, half-ready to bolt. I could still read the tension in the line of his shoulders, the way his fingers twitched near the holster. Ten years and Dante still looked at me like I was a loaded gun he couldn’t decide whether to aim or unload.The room emptied after I signaled my men out. Marco stayed close to him, with eyes darting everywhere.“You’re working for Powell now,” Dante said, voice low. Not a question. A wound reopened.Turning away to pour myself a drink, l let the silence stretch. “Working with him,” I corrected. “There’s a difference.”He laughed, “That’s what you told yourself back in Milan, right before you sold me out, remember?”The whiskey burned down my throat. “You make it sound so simple.”In truth, it had never been simple. Back then, we’d been two wolves pretending to be human — running jobs in the south ports, trading lives for intel, kissing between ambushes as if the
