LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORE LUCA’s POV When my parents set up a marriage for me, I wasn't shocked. It happens often. My own parents' marriage was arranged, and they have remained together ever since. A marriage without love that lasts till death. What a terrible way to live. Having to wed some woman made me really mad. And a fucking Italian woman to top it off. Italian girls are fine, but she's a member of the mafia. What would she even be like? My parents' marriage was completely loveless, would ours be the same? I would simply put up with her and have my way with women behind her back. I didn't mind. She would undoubtedly behave in the same way. Her name, appearance, or personality were never revealed to me. However, she was a woman. The Don of the Italian mafia. How is that possible? Women are overly sentimental and feeble. She would be the mafia's downfall. I laughed at the thought of the most vicious and corrupt mafia in the world being brought to its knees by her. Only a man, as everyone is aware, is capable of managing a mafia. Maybe she was in charge because her father had no boys. However, he behaved very irresponsibly. I would have assumed that he would have given it to a man, though. Regardless of whether he was related by blood or not. I'm Luca Delgado, the head of the American mafia. At sixteen, I was given control of the mafia and tasked with making it the most powerful in the world. At the age of twenty six, my life now revolves around women, alcohol, and drugs. I didn't ignore my responsibilities in the mafia. I had a reputation for being harsh and unforgiving. The last thing you'd ever do is get in my way. I'm still able to have fun despite that. The brunette was sleeping in my bed, so I looked over at her. I didn't even know her name. I didn't give a damn. I might as well have some fun before I have to live a terrible, miserable life if I'm going to get married. Fuck damn! My little brother barged into my bedroom without knocking and said, "You do know you are getting married right?" He gave me a bored glance. What reason do I have to give a damn? This woman wasn't my choice; it wasn't like I wanted this, and as a mafia boss, I had a bad name to live up to. As I rubbed my eyes, I frowned. I yelled at him, "Get out Nico," as his presence annoyed me. Additionally, I wasn't allowed to choose my spouse, while he was. Hell! would my parents even agree to this? All because of some bullshit alliance. Fuck, If I wanted to, I could just defeat the Italian mafia. Next to me on my bed, the woman moved and opened her dark eyes wide. Upon seeing Nico standing next to the doorway, she appeared frightened for a moment. She turned to me in the hopes of receiving some solace, but I was unable to provide any. "Leave," Nico instructed, holding the door open with one hand. In her underwear, the woman hurried out of the room after collecting her clothing. While still ensnared in my bedsheets, I let out a moan. Nico generously pulled back the drapes, allowing the bright yellow light of the sun to potentially enter the space. "Fucking hell." When the light struck my eyes, I let out a groan that brought me completely awake. Nico rolled his shoulders and rubbed his long chestnut hair while smiling. He was a decent person, even if he was a damn fool half of the time. I let the ladies throw themselves at me since he was disgusted by it. The way I utilized them for my own enjoyment and gain. Since my father treated my mother similarly, all I knew was that she portrays herself as the virgin mother Mary, but in fact, she is capable of competing with the devil. Additionally, my dearest brother adhered to my example but was less outgoing. "The Italian woman is arriving tomorrow, so clean up your act," Nico said, his lips twitching into a frown as he looked at my untidy bed. "Who even let you in?" I questioned, irritated with my lax security, as I rose up from my seat. With both hands in his trouser pockets, he leaned against the wall and flashed his white teeth. "I'm a likeable person. Anybody would let me in." He gave a little smile. His demeanor radiated friendliness, and that was indeed the case. A characteristic I lacked. A mafia is not a place for weakness, after all. I don't have any, though. After my ears bled from listening to Nico ramble on and on about being a good husband, I left the room a few minutes later. I changed into a sweatshirt and loose sweats after a short shower. Before hitting the gym, I spent a little time on the treadmill, allowing my body to burn some energy. My house was large, five stories high, and had all I could ever want or need. The privilege of leading a strong mafia gang. I labored diligently to achieve what I possessed, and no marriage would ever break that. No woman would ever ruin what I've created. Dante inquired in a low tone, “How are you feeling about meeting the girl tomorrow?” with a very faint Italian accent. “I don't give a fuck,” I said without hesitation as I paused and turned to face my closest buddy and devoted protector. Why is she the subject of everyone's conversation? Dante ran a hand through his curly black hair, his matching eyes gleaming, seeming almost let down. "Would you at least try, you might find that you like her." He uttered a sigh. Perhaps he was aware of something that I wasn't. The water from the bottle cooled me down as I shook my head. “Come on, you've known me all your life, that's twenty four damn years.” When do I ever like women? They're just a nice bitches.WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORELUCA POV"Then Luca survived," said Father, standing with his hands clasped behind him. I gave a nod as Mother started rearranging the bedsheets. Father wasn't a heartless man; he just sometimes didn't know how to respond appropriately. "I can't believe you can't even make a bed," Mother complained while fussing over my bed. She shot a glance at Valentina. For fuck' sake. Valentina grinned while playing with a little knife. I watched as she repeatedly ran her thumb along the sharp edge. I had no doubt she wanted to cut out Mothers tongue and honestly, I could understand why she felt that way. "What’s the matter? Lost your voice? You had plenty to say when you came for dinner," Mother insisted, much to Father's discomfort. Valentina froze and looked up at my mother. "I fucking don’t have anything to say to someone like you. And why the fuck should I bo

I watched her trip a bit as she moved. "I'm really tired," she sighed while rubbing her eyes. I patted the space next to me. "Come join me in bed. "She gave a sleepy smile and nodded, then went to the bathroom. Just then, Dante came in holding a phone. He looked around the room. "This is Valentina's new phone," he said, showing me the shiny device. "Hand it over," I said, extending my hand. Dante handed me the phone. Since Valentina was taking her time, I casually looked at the name she had saved me as on her phone. I laughed and set it down. When Valentina came out of the bathroom, she was wearing shorts and a comfy T-shirt. She got into bed next to me and rested her head down, leaving her arm with the cast outside the covers. "You

Her eyes gleamed brightly, and I noticed that tears were starting to form. She was struggling to hold them back. "Lorenzo. He’s leaving," she replied, looking down. She shared his future plans with me. She moved closer, and I gently wiped a single tear from her cheek with my thumb. "Let him go," I whispered. It upset me to see her in distress. I wished I could make it better. But Lorenzo was simply after what we all long for – a chance to live without fear or constantly looking over his shoulder. She let out a soft laugh. "Am I being silly? He’s just my brother, and I really can’t stand that terrible Lien. " Her expression was a mix of anger and disappointment."You might be a bit silly. He just wants a life of his own. If you care about him, you should let him go. " I offered her a gentle smile. She sighed, her sho
WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORELUCA POVMy heavy eyelids slowly opened, revealing the dark surroundings around me. Was I really awake? The lights from the monitor shone off the metal bed frame, and at last, I understood where I was and what had happened. So, I was still alive. I had made it. I groaned as I attempted to move, feeling my stiff muscles. Damn. I had been shot in the chest; it hurt a lot. I rubbed my face, which had grown unkempt stubble. My arms felt heavy, and they were also wrapped up. "You're awake," Dante‘s voice came from somewhere in the shadows. Suddenly, the light turned on, and I squinted, struggling to adjust to the brightness. "Well, well, you are awake," Dante said as he approached me. "Now I can finally get out of this fucking place." He smiled. He had no idea how relieved I was to see him and hear his voice. I had been alone in that darkness for what fel

"You won't, sorella," I replied, trying to reassure her. "He's really strong. Plus, the doctors said he will recover. " She let out a heavy sigh as she observed Luca’s chest moving up and down. "I just. . . I care for him so deeply that it pains me to see him like this. I hesitated, Lorenzo. I hesitated. " She looked at me, and in that moment, I could see her as the little girl who always pushed herself too hard to improve, to succeed. "It doesn't matter right now. None of it matters," I replied, swallowing hard. If I were in her shoes, I would have hesitated too. It was just a brief moment. I don't hold it against her. No one does. Luca would never blame her for it. Valentina spent the whole night in that chair. No matter how much I tried to get her to move, she stayed
WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORELORENZO POVI heard a rough laugh and turned to see Valentina. She had a big smile on her face as she chuckled softly. After a dry cough, she pointed to the water pitcher next to her bed. I poured a glass for her. I took a seat on the edge of her bed as she drank the water. "I love you, darling," Valentina teased, copying what I said. She was clearly under the influence of morphine. I smiled at her. Given the tough life she's had, I was amazed at how she held herself together. "How are you feeling? " I inquired as she passed me the empty glass.I noticed her eyes widen as she looked at herself. She sighed when she caught sight of her arm, which was in a cast. "I feel terrible. But I'm going to be okay," she replied as she tried to sit up. She noticed a green button on her left side and pressed it several times. I shook my head as I watched the morphin
