ELENA

The jarrying music of the club faded as I stepped out of his office. My head pounded as I walked and my heart raced so fast, I thought I would collapse there.

I was happy my tear streamed face wasn’t drawing attention to me. I pushed past bodies as I made my way to the exit door.

Outside, the driver was already waiting. I reached for the car door, eager to escape but a hand stopped me.

Looking up I saw Lorenzo watching me. His dark eyes held something unreadable.

Embarrassed, I tried to wipe my face with my hands, my mascara must have smudged on my face but he handed me a paper towel.

“Here, you can use this”, he spoke in a rich Italian accent. It was the first time I have heard him speak.

“Thank you.” I murmured, accepting it.

“Give this to you sister.” I collected the folded piece of paper from him and entered the car.

“And, Señorita,” he said, his gaze unwavering. “I hope you get through this”

I shut the door and the car pulled away.

The silence was welcoming, giving me a mo

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 54–LINES CROSSED

    ALESSANDRO I winked at Elena as I extended my hand for her to take.She rolled her eyes subtly, in a way the crowd cheering for us and the paparazzi snapping countless photos wouldn’t notice.She hesitated for a moment before placing her slender hand in mine. I clasped our hands together and pulled her out of the car.“Mr. and Mrs. DeLuca, over here!” cameras flashed at us as the shots began.After a minute, I was done with it. I looked at Elena to see if she was ready to go in. She nodded, and we went inside.The paparazzi weren’t allowed into the party, which was for the best. If someone were to follow me around taking shots all night, I’m quite sure they’d witness me blowing up or doing some shit I wouldn’t want ending up in the media.The party was in full swing when we got in. Elena quietly removed her hand from my elbow, where it had been tucked in.“Glad you made it,” Mr. Moretti said, scanning us up and down.His eyes swerved to his daughter, though I wasn’t sure why he looke

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 53–SHOW TIME

    ELENAI let out an exasperated breath and stared at Alessia through my phone.Tonight was the party Papà had planned, and all the clothes I had picked didn’t seem to fit in. There was always something wrong with them,either I didn’t like the way I looked in them, or they weren’t exactly what I was going for.At this point, I was done and ready to call it a night. But knowing who Papà is, he would come here and drag me out. God forbid his daughter doesn’t attend the party he threw.“I’ve told you, all these are amazing,” Alessia said, equally frustrated by my indecisiveness.We’d been at this for close to an hour, and I knew I should free her.“You know you don’t have to do this with me,” I said, picking up the phone. Her face covered my whole screen.Behind her, I could see the dress she had picked out. She had bought it in Paris.“I know,” she mumbled, “but I still want to be here. You need to be sure Papà doesn’t chase you back home to change,” she joked, but I knew she was serious.

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 52–BARGAIN

    ELENAI tried not to focus on Alessandro carrying his child, but it was hard. I should listen to him, but my head was wrapped in that instant he extended his hands for her.It was out of impulse, I know, but he could have stopped himself.But he didn’t.Aurora was smiling now at him, her hands playing with his hair as he talked.How can I concentrate when he looks so good carrying her?I had watched him and Papà by my bedroom window. I knew he was pissing Papà off by the many stares Papà gave him.When I saw Papà leave, I immediately texted Alessia to tell her it was done.Tell Alessandro I owe him one, she replied back.I rolled my eyes at the text. She owes him one, but I owe him three.Right then, Aurora, who has given me enough free time, began to cry. I breastfed her, changed her out of her clothes, and took her out with me.I would have left her with Rosa, but I didn’t. I wanted Alessandro to see his daughter, in case he has forgotten.I guess that worked, because I am rewarded

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 51–CHECKMATE

    ALESSANDRO I was going to give Lorenzo so much shit when he returned. He was out on Vacation that was the reason he didn’t want to have a drink with me.Right now, I just needed to figure out how to keep Mr. Moretti out.Lorenzo didn’t even try hiding his forbidden relationship with Alessia. I had caught him several times smiling at a text he received. I decided I wouldn’t bring it up to him or at least tell him how dangerous what he was doing was.Partly because who he loves is none of my business as long as she treats him right. He’s been through a lot, and the last thing he needs is someone adding to it.I wasn’t sure Alessia was the one. Sure, I married the sister, which is the main reason I was skeptical. But seeing how she reacted the day Lorenzo was shot, all my doubts were cleared. And also because Mr. Moretti doesn’t have the right to tell his daughters who to love regardless of whether he’s their father.I’m all for forbidden love… until it gets busted. But we’ll get there

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 50–THE DEAL

    ELENAI was going to kill Alessia for putting me in this position.Alessia and I had been texting back and forth. They had successfully landed in France, and she’d been showing me the different places they had visited. It was like I was there with them.I was happy living through her until she dropped a message that spoiled my mood.Aurora was sleeping beside me, she’d been sleeping a lot today, which had given me a lot of time to text with Alessia.Alessia: “Papà said he’s coming.”I read the text again, wishing it said something different.Me: Coming to where? I replied.Alessia: To your place. I told him you were struggling a bit and that’s why you needed me to stay with you for a week. He said you have staff that can help you. I told him you demanded it had to be me.Perfect.Me: Now what do you expect me to do? I shot back.Alessia: You have to stop him, Lena. If he comes there and doesn’t see me, we’ll be in so much trouble. If he finds out about Lorenzo and me, he’s going to ki

    ALESSANDROFor the past few days, Elena had been looking better than she had been. The day out she had with my sister and hers must have helped a lot. She’s been smiling more, talking with Rosa in the kitchen. I shouldn’t notice these things, but I do. I notice everything she does.I sat in my home office, going over the file Matteo had sent me. Victor was back in town. He disappeared after the day Elena had gone for the signing event in New York, but now he’s back, and I know it’s not for a good cause. I have my men on the lookout in case he tries to go near people close to me.The bodyguards I assigned to Elena are doing a pretty good job, she hasn’t noticed them. If she had, she would’ve stormed into my office to confront me. I wonder if that would have been better. At least that would’ve given me an opportunity to talk to her.The silence she’s been walking around me with is unsettling.When she couldn’t shut up, I wished she would.Now that she finally has, I want her to start ta
