Dante's POVI walk into the dungeon but told my men not to harm Enzo. I do not want anything to happen to him, though, because I respect him. He has been by Tony's side for a long time, and I know him. He's a good guy. We have always been great friends. Enzo is not tied to the chair but will not try to escape. I know there is something he wants to tell me. I gave Enzo plenty of time and opportunity to escape. He's not gone by now. I know there is a reason for it. It is because they want to talk to me. After we greeted, I showed Don Romani a chair. "Start talking, Enzo, I am listening. Don't worry. The godfather is not here to kill you, although you did put his daughter's life in danger when she saved my life in the cafe," I say. "That's not the one who pulled the trigger. It was Tony. He did not try to kill you. The two of you have been friends for a long time, and I did not understand why I suddenly don't want to be your friend anymore. It's all because of his sister. His sister wa
Dante's POV"Before we go. We should all decide what and how we will let Tony find out Amelia was lying to him. Do not want a war between the Brasco and Angelo families because I do not believe that Tony wishes for the war. He's a good guy. I know him from meetings. However, I think he thinks he must protect his sister. His parents were never good people. I know because I have known them since I was a young godfather. His father always tried to take over my position and wanted me to believe Amelia was my daughter. I think he thought it was easy to become the godfather of the Italian mafia in America. I always felt sorry for Tony because his father was hard on him, while his sister was everything. I know they have tried to convince everybody that Amelia was adopted. Everybody knew that she was their child. Even knew why they tried to convince everybody that she was adopted. Everybody could see that she looked like her mother. Anyway, enough about the boss. We have to figure out how to
Enzo's POVI mess myself up a little before I go to Tony's house. The girl working in the salon that we have planted there would have told Tony Leandra ran me over, and I was still on the hood of her car. I do not want him to think that I have failed in my attempt to kidnap Leandra. I want them to believe that I have tried. I will pretend that somebody must have tipped them off. I must remember Dante's fiancée as Leandra, not Donna Isabella. Tony will immediately know something is up if I mix up the names. Tony will want to know what is happening, and I cannot let him know what is happening. I stumble into the house, looking like somebody who's been injured. "Where have you been? I have been looking all over for you. I heard Dante's fiancée ran you over! I was worried about you and was going to look for you myself. Did you get hurt? Should I call a doctor?" Tony asks. "No, it's just a few bumps and bruises. I'm never going after that woman again because she's either lucky or has bee
Dante's POVWhen Don and Donna Romani leave, it is late. I have been waiting the whole day to be alone with my fiancée. I call her my fiancée because I don't know if I should call her Leandra or Isabella. I will have to find out what she wants to be called. I am not going to ask her. I will call her Isabella because that is her actual name. She will have to get used to it eventually. I will talk with her about leaving the house without my knowledge. Doesn't she know what big trouble she could have been in? I do not care about Tony so much. I know he would not hurt her, but I am worried about this crazy sister. I know that woman is crazy. Tony never wanted to hear it, but I have warned him many times, and she wants the family and thinks she can take it from him. "Isabella Romani, come here immediately. I have a bone to pick with you!" I say. My fiancée sits on the couch as if she did not hear me. I clean my throat, and she looks up."Are you talking to me? I don't know who Isabella R
Leandra's POVThat will teach him to call me Isabella Romani! I have been used to the name Leandra all my whole life. Now, all of a sudden, I am Isabella. I guess I will have to get used to it, because the Romani family will not let me go. And I have seen the test results. I know it is true. For the first time, I could think about everything that had happened to me that day. I am lying in my bed, staring at the roof. I am not used to a luxurious room like this. However, that is the last of my worries. What am I going to do about being Isabella Romani? I should feel happy to know that I have parents, wealthy parents, but also dangerous parents. I have not even been their daughter for one day and am already in trouble. People want to kill me because I am their daughter. Well, not only because I am the total, but also because I am engaged to another Mafia member.Nobody even knows that I am the daughter of the Italian Mafia godfather, and I have a crazy woman who wants me dead. Not to me
Dante's POVI know I chose the restaurant where Leandra was working at that time, and I spied on her because I wanted to make sure that my mother would be okay with the new intern she took, especially since she came from a bad neighbourhood. However, I did not know Leandra was Isabella Romani. I cannot believe how it hurt me when she accused me of knowing who she was. I do not understand why I was so upset. I think it was more because I thought she came to me because she wanted to spend he night with me. That is what was upsetting me, not the fact that she was accusing me of knowing who she was. I don't care about that. If I knew who she was, I would've told her I was not afraid to tell anybody what I was doing. I am a Don in the Italian Mafia. Why would I be scared of a little girl being angry at me? The only time I am afraid of Isabella is when she is behind the steering wheel of a car.I don't know why I am so upset, but I am upset. What did she expect? She came into my room. I was
Dante's POVDo not know what it is with this woman that drives me crazy. I act like a ten-year-old boy in love for the first time. She drives me crazy, but tonight I will make her mine. I do not care if she is the godfather's daughter, and my life is most probably in danger. I am not going to rape her. I will do it with her consent. I feel she wants me as bad as I like her, but she will never admit it because she is spiteful with me. "Dante, what are you doing? Put me down," Isabella says. "You know you want this as much as I do," I say. "I..." Isabella starts to say, but I shut her up with a kiss. She answers my kiss with as much passion as I kiss her. I kick my room door open and close it behind us with my foot. My lips are not leaving hers. I want her so badly. I never wanted a woman this bad. I lie down on my bed and lie next to her. I look down at her, my eyes going over her perfect body. "I will let you go if you do not want this," I say."Hmmm... " Isabella moans. My hands
Isabella's POVI wake up the following morning and kiss. I have decided to take the name Isabella. I might as well get used to it because I know the godfather will not let me go. I am his daughter. What can I do about it? Nothing. I am his blood. I feel Dante's warm body next to mine. And I feel myself blushing. What the hell did I do last night? I had sex with him, and I begged him to do all kinds of things to me! Oh, damn, how will I ever look him in the eyes again. I even promised to be his forever. Damn talking about having my first sexual experience and I throw away my name. I feel Dante moving next to me, and I want to get out of bed and run away before he wakes up. However, there is one problem. I am entangled in him. If I move, he will know that I am awake, or I will wake him up. I do not know what to do. "Good morning, Bella. How does it feel to be my property?" Dante teases me. "Good morning," I whisper. I'm too afraid to talk too hard. Why must he remind me that I promi
Isabella's POVI just have a feeling that everything is going to go wrong today. I believe that everything will go wrong. My mother brought over the dress. It fits me perfectly. It is the perfect dress. It is so beautiful, I have never seen such a lovely dress. I always liked vintage dresses and shoes. It's just perfect. My mother tells me that she got it from her mother. I am so happy that I can wear the family dress. I always thought that I would never get to wear a family dress because I was an orphan. I always dreamed about the day I would meet my parents, and they would tell me that I am a princess, and it all happened. No, I'm not a princess, but at least I am a Donna in the Italian Mafia. I am so happy that I finally have my family. And I know I do not appreciate them as much as I should. I wish there were something I could do for my mother and father to make them feel more a part of my life. I know they love me, and I know they won't always love me. They have always loved me a
Dante's POVToday, we are training Isabella to fight with weapons. At first, I was very sceptical because I thought that she wouldn't be able to do it. However, her father insisted that we start training her. I am standing next to Don La Romani while we watch her hit one target after another. She has a natural feel for the gun she is using. Don Romani looks very proud of his daughter. I cannot blame him. She is beautiful. She is talented, and she learns fast. I am very proud of Isabella being a part of my life. "The street gangs are becoming a real problem, and I fear they will come after Isabella. I am glad that she is learning how to defend herself. But I do not trust them. They are like wild dogs. They will attack in a bundle. We will have to give Isabella extra security. I do not want that Tommy friend of hers to come close to her again. I am glad you told me all about him and how he texted her. Your wedding is on Saturday. Isabella feels it is too quick, but I believe the sooner
Isabella's POVI wait while we are alone outside. Dante is busy training with his men, and it's only my father standing there with me. He hands me the gun that we purchased yesterday. Now that it is going to start to be my training right now, I have to admit I am a little bit afraid of the gun. But I know I need to do this. I do not feel like I want to train with the weapon. However, I cannot leave my father and Dante down. I look up at my father, and he looks at me."I can see there is something wrong, baby girl. What do you want to talk to Daddy about?" My father asks. "Do you think that I am ready to get married? I have been very confused lately. I do not know if I am prepared to give merit, and I do not want Dante to think that I am not already. I want him to see that I still want to be independent. I do not wish for Dante to feel like that. I want to be independent and without him. I want him to know I want to be there for him as he is there for me. And we cannot be without each
Tommy's POVI cannot believe Isabella is blowing me off. She thinks I am not good enough for her and believes she can play with me. Well, I am not going to allow it. Of course, I'm not going to leave her alone. She is wealthy, and I want a part of her money. She thinks she can snuff me. She is making a mistake. He has to be together. And I know I was stupid for thinking that Mary was better for me than Isabella. But how am I supposed to know that Isabella is the daughter of the godfather? Mary only knew because her uncle is in the Italian Mafia. She must have heard him speaking because they don't like to talk in front of her. Mary's parents are not a part of the Italian Mafia because her mother is not a part of the Italian Mafia. It is only her uncle who is a part of the Italian Mafia. And I could get some foothold into the Italian Mafia by being with Mary. I made the biggest mistake of my life by leaving Isabella, because now she is the godfather's daughter. It still feels weird to
Isabella's POV"Who are you to tell me what to do? You don't know the Italian Mafia. And my father is the godfather. If I were you, I would leave me alone. Could you not contact me? Lose my number. I have absolutely nothing to say to you. If you come close to me, you will die. I am going to block you from contacting me again. And I am only doing it for your safety, not for mine. Enjoy your life with Mary. That is the woman that you chose. Goodbye Tommy. I never want to hear from you again, and stay away from me if you know what is good for you," I text him before I delete him and block him on my phone. I put my phone away because I do not want my father or Dante to see that Tommy is bothering me. I know they will be furious. That is when my eye catches the other messages. It is from the night that we killed Amelia. Tommy was texting me, but he did not know that I was Isabella Romani back then. Dante answered him, and I'm glad I did not, because I do not know what I would have done if
Isabella's POVI have been training for a week now and feel much stronger. I do not want Dante to worry about me any more. I can even drive better right now. But after a lot of swearing and yelling from Dante. I know what I've been doing this. I know I can drive better than I ever did before. And I know that I can fight better than I ever did before. I have not started my training with guns yet, but I am going to start today. Dante and I are ready to go to a shop to buy me a gun. I am not so sure how I feel about carrying a weapon, but I guess it is part of being a part of the Italian Mafia. My phone pings, and I read the message."So you are the daughter of the godfather. I hear. You are not Leandra Smith. You are Isabella Romani. Baby, I don't care who you are. I have missed you, and you have to come back to me. How long have you been away from me, a few weeks or months? I don't care. I want you back in my life. I miss you. I need to talk to you. I need to hold you in my arms again.
Tommy's POVI am furious after I've talked to Dante. Who does he think he is? He never even knew Leandra. Leandra was always my slave, the one working for me so I could spend all the money that I made on myself and all my needs. Mary is not giving as Leandra was. She's very selfish with that money. However, I cannot piss her off. Her uncle is Don Bellini. I have to convince him to work with us. But first, I need to get Leandra back. I do not know what is happening in the Italian Mafia, but I do know one thing. We can take them over if we want to. We are stronger than they think. We have been working with the cartel lately. I need to figure out a way to get Leandra back. I do not love her, but I need her in my life. If she can only provide me with enough money every month to look after my needs, I can spend more money on myself. "Did you hear the godfather found his daughter? You will not believe who it is."Mary says as she walks into the room. "Who?" I ask. I am not interested in th
Isabella's POVWell, I am ready to train. I have my sweatshirt and pants on, and I am prepared to take on whoever wants to take me on. I know I can fight dirty because I have been in that orphanage and on the streets for long enough to fight dirty. However, I do not want to fight dirty. I want to be trained to fight fair. I want to learn how to shoot a gun, and I want to know how to protect myself. One day, my life may be in danger, and I want everybody to know that I cannot be messed with. I want my father and Dante to stop worrying about me. I walk out of the bathroom and straight into the bedroom where Dante awaits me. He is ready, and we can go. I do not know where we are going and don't know how their training works, but I know that I am ready to start fighting and driving. "I am ready, and we can go. One thing before we started training: I do not want you to shout at me or swear when we drive. I know I'm not a good driver. If you cry and scream at me while we are moving, I am g
Dante's POVI put the phone down. I did not want to wake Isabella up, and did not want her to see what an ex-boyfriend was writing to her. He does not even know that she is the godfather's daughter, and Tommy does not realise he's messing with the wrong guys. He still calls her Leandra. They think the little street gangs can take on the Italian Mafia. I remember someone saying the street gangs are causing problems. I think it was Don Romani, if I'm not wrong. Anyway, I will have to keep Isabella safe from them. I can not allow them to get their hands on her. Tommy is asking for a beating. I don't even believe that they are worthy of our attention, but we cannot allow them to sell drugs in our city. We do not sell drugs. We do not do human trafficking. And we do not sell illegal weapons. It is all against the laws of the Italian Mafia. I do not know why the street gangs are getting so cocky with us. I feel Isabella tossing and turning in her sleep. I know she must have a nightmare, so
