The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride 090
Annalissa HaleRonan carries the plate back to the kitchen himself and sits on the floor opposite me. “I’ll send someone to help you clean up your apartment. You can’t stay like this.”“I’m fine,” He’s quiet for a beat, then the question comes out low. “Do you think Dante found out about Clarissa?”“He always knew,” I say, hearing the hurt in my own voice. “I had no idea he knew. He knew I wasn’t Clarissa and he let me pretend. Even when…” The sentence splinters and I stop because the memory of us in the shower, in his bedroom, the surrender, the way I let him use me, makes bile rise.Ronan crouches so he’s level with me. “Just it out,” he says softly.“He knew about my parents too. He let me keep living the lie and believing in them.” Ronan’s face hardens. “At least he’s not reacting violently like he would’ve. We also lied to him. Well, we tried to.”“Are you taking his side?” I blurt.“No,” he says, and the answer is immediate. “But I…”Nausea rips me like a wave and I bolt f

Annalissa HaleEvery single person in my life is a liar. I drag my feet inside my apartment and lock the door. Loneliness weighs my shoulders down as I walk into my bedroom. I sink into my bed and curl into a ball, more tears rolling down my cheeks.My heart feels like it’s being ripped out of my chest. It’s almost like the poor little thing can’t take any more heartaches. Mum and Dad lied. They gave me false hope while hiding Clarissa and building her a perfect life.Well, a not so perfect life because it wasn’t enough for her. And Dante. He’s known from the start and he enjoyed using me as his item of amusement. He tore my walls down little by little like I was a challenge to him. He made me fall into him over and over again while holding back the truth that could make and break me.And now, I’m carrying his baby. Or babies, I’m not even sure. I bite down on my lower lip and try to muffle my sobs as they rip through my chest. My chest heaves and I close my eyes. But the sleep d

Dante Romano I stand on the curb until the cab disappears into the night. I memorized the plate number, 4BG-9M2. I wanted to run after her. I wanted to yank her out of that cab, slam her against the door, and make her look at me until the only thing she can ever remember is the girl who folded into me multiple times despite herself.My fists curl so tight my knuckles ache. Rage rises hot and stupid but not only at her. At myself.I let it go too far. I treated her like a chess piece, a game to test my reach and my rules. From the wedding day I knew she wasn’t Clarissa. I watched the lie breathe and grow and I fed it. I kept score in ways I told myself were clever. Now that arrogance detonates in my face and the blast took everything with it. How many moves have I made because I wanted to break her? How many because I wanted to own her? The difference between the two tastes the same in my mouth: copper and regret.Fear slides under the fury and digs cold claws into my s

Annalissa HaleThe phone is pressed so tight against my ear my hand shakes. “What did Kane find out?”Ronan’s voice comes. “Your parents. They’re the ones who’ve been hiding Clarissa all this while.”My breath stutters. “What?”“She was never kidnapped, Issa. She ran away with her lover. Your parents helped her. Something went south with her lover, Thomas and now she’s back. Because only Dante can protect her from him.”No. No. No. My pulse pounds so loud I barely hear myself whisper, “There has to be a mistake. Somehow.”“It’s true,” Ronan says. “I’m coming to get you.”The line goes dead.My parents? No. Mum and Dad would never. They wouldn’t lie to me like that.The click of heels breaks my trance. Mum steps into the living room. “Are you okay, dear?”My lungs burn, and before I know it, the words slip out. “Was this your plan?”Her brows knit. “What?”“You and Dad,” I snap, rising to my feet. “You helped Clarissa escape the wedding. You made me marry Dante knowing fully well

Dante RomanoTraffic had me caged like an animal. Horns blared and engines roared. And all I could think about was Annalissa.Ridiculous. I’m a grown man, not some adolescent boy itching to get home to his girlfriend who he hasn’t seen in four days. I don’t do longing. I don’t do this restless need that burns through my veins.I think It’s lust. That’s all.Four days without Annalissa under me, and my cock is demanding what belongs to it. That’s the only reason my pulse keeps drumming like this.I grip the wheel tighter, jaw clenched as the city finally spills open and I turn towards the mansion. The gates part and my car rolls up the lawn.When I step out, everything feels unusual. My home smells the same, but something inside me… tightens.The dining room is set, Teresa is fussing with plates. And there is Annalissa. Her hair is slicked back in a silk bun. She’s wearing a strapless gown that’s hugging her figure with the hem grazing mid-thigh. Glossed lips, painted eyes, a shim

Annalissa Hale I pull my clothes back on in silence, my hands trembling as I pull the hoodie over my head. Pregnant. The word ricochets through me like a bullet. Pregnant with Dante’s child.It doesn’t make sense. It shouldn’t be possible. I asked her to check again. Twice. And both times she pointed at those tiny dots on the screen like they were undeniable proof of my downfall.How could this happen? How could I have let myself be so lost in him that I let this happen?I feel like I’ve betrayed myself. Betrayed Clarissa. Betrayed Dante. This wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal. I was supposed to walk away, give her back her life, and find a way to piece mine together again. Not… this.I can’t tell him or anyone for that matter. I can’t. If I do, it’ll ruin everything. I can’t raise a child on my own either. That idea terrifies me even more.What am I supposed to do now?There’s a knock on the door, and I flinch. Ronan steps inside. “Everything alright?”The doctor op
