Marcelina's POV

"And who is she?" Her voice cut through the room like a blade, causing all eyes to turn towards the stairs.

Including his.

My chest tightened as I found myself under their full attention. Domenico. The older man—his father. And her.

Especially her.

Straightening slightly, I forced myself not to shrink under the weight of their stares. My fingers twitched at my sides, but I held my ground, lifting my chin just enough to keep from looking intimidated.

My gaze flickered to Domenic

    Domenico's POV He was one of the new faces. Not older than twenty, with a slim build and too clean for someone sitting in a room like this. That alone told me everything I needed to know."Relax," I said calmly, though there was no warmth in it. "You look like you've already been judged." A weak, nervous chuckle escaped him, but it died almost immediately when no one else joined in."I haven't done anything, Boss," he said quickly. I didn't respond. Instead, I dragged my chair back slowly and rose to my feet at an unhurried pace. Only then did I take a slow step toward him, then another, closing the distance without taking my eyes off his face."What's your name?""Bartolomeo," He replied quickly. "Bartolomeo Gennaro,"Gennaro... the name rang familiar.A certain Gennaro handled logistics for my father before I took over and tore most of the structure apart. And now, standing in front of me was a younger Gennaro."Let's try something simple," I said. "You've been very quiet. That

  • The Consequential Bride Of the Mafia Lord    Chapter 29

    Domenico's POVBy the time Umberto pulled up in front of Il Ritrovo, the night was already in full swing.The place looked like any other old bar from the outside—dim lights, worn wood, and a sign that had survived more years than most of the men who walked through its doors. But Il Ritrovo wasn't just a bar. It had been there long before my father, long before most of the men inside it now. It had seen decades of deals, shifting power, and blood that never made it past its walls. To outsiders, it was just a place for drinks. To us, it was where Made men came when something needed to be said without being heard.Matteo stepped out first, followed by Dante—one of the few men I trusted to keep things steady in my absence. I stepped out after them without a word, adjusting the cuff of my sleeve as I headed for the entrance.Matteo pushed the heavy wooden door open, and the noise inside dropped almost instantly. The air had been thick with smoke and quiet chatter, but it all died the m

  • The Consequential Bride Of the Mafia Lord    Chapter 28

    Marcelina's POV The tour started immediately.And it was... a lot.The house was bigger than I had thought—hallways that seemed to stretch endlessly, rooms I couldn't even imagine having a use for, and details that made everything feel less like a home and more like a carefully built empire."This is the west lounge," Lucia said as we passed through yet another beautifully furnished space. "Used mostly for guests." We moved on to a formal dining area—different from the one I had just eaten in—then to a smaller, more private sitting room. Everywhere we went, the maids we passed bowed slightly, making me cringe.I still hadn't gotten used to it."He has not been here in a long time," Lucia continued as we walked, her Italian accent thick. "It is... good to have him back."I glanced at her briefly. "You mean Domenico?" "Si," she said with a small nod. "The house feels... alive again."I didn't respond.I didn't even know what to say.It was the first time I was hearing it, and as much

    Marcelina's POV I was halfway across the room when I remembered my phone.After everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, it hadn't even crossed my mind. And now, as I turned it on, I immediately froze when I saw the number of missed calls.Messages stacked on messages and notifications piled up like my phone had been fighting for its life. Corey was the number one, followed by Xavier and a few colleagues from the hospital—people I barely even talked to outside of work.My brows lifted slightly.Damn.This was the most attention my phone had ever gotten, and I was honestly surprised it hadn't exploded.I hesitated for a second before tapping Corey's name and calling her back. As expected, she picked up almost immediately."What the fuck happened?" Her voice was so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear for a second, wincing."Did he seize your phone or something? Because I am ready to get my ass down there and give him a piece of my mind. Now I'm regre

    Marcelina's POV I couldn't tell if they were talking about me or not—but the way his mother's eyes drifted back to me again, slower this time, made it hard not to assume the worst.It felt like being examined without being addressed. Like she was reassessing everything she had just heard—and everything she had just said.And somehow, that felt worse than the insult.I held her gaze for a second before looking away, the weight of it starting to get to me.God, I needed to get out of here."My wife and I will be having breakfast," Domenico said calmly, as if reading my thoughts.He didn't even wait for a response before turning, his hand tightening slightly at my waist as he guided me away from them.I didn't hesitate. I just followed him, my steps quickening as the distance between us and them grew, the tightness in my chest easing with every step.The second we were out of sight, the warmth at my waist disappeared. Domenico removed his hand like it had never been there to begin with

The older man—his father. And her.Especially her.Straightening slightly, I forced myself not to shrink under the weight of their stares. My fingers twitched at my sides, but I held my ground, lifting my chin just enough to keep from looking intimidated.My gaze flickered to Domenico, waiting, hoping—just a little—that he'd say something. Give me something: a signal, a word, anything.But he didn't.He just stared, unmoving.And then his eyes dropped slowly. From my face... down my bare legs... and up again, taking everything in. My breath hitched, barely noticeable, but I felt it.I could feel the others doing the same—sizing me up and judging. But unlike the men, she didn't hide it. The irritation was clear on her face, sharp and undisguised.And suddenly, I felt very un

    Marcelina's POVThe two men escorted me to the car just after nine in the morning.Corey has never left my side since that day. And as the only friend and family I had left, she slid into the backseat beside me and squeezed my hand, watching me with concern that she wasn't even trying to hide."Yo

    Marcelina's POV Anger shot through me so quickly I almost laughed. "I'm sorry," I said slowly. "Did you just say I'm not permitted?" "Yes." I blinked, then I pointed at my own chest."This is my house." Silence."I have a job," I continued, my voice rising. "A life. You don't get to stand outs

    Marcelina's POVI woke up with a stiff neck and a dull ache running down my back. And for a moment, I didn't remember where I was. But then the ceiling of my living room slowly came into focus, and I realized I was lying on the couch.Everything hurts.My body felt heavy, like I had run a marathon

    Domenico's POV"Wait. What?" Her voice cut through the room, sharp with disbelief.I didn't answer immediately. Instead, I watched her.The shock on her face. The way her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag. The faint tremor in her shoulders that she was trying very hard to hide.She trul
