The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride 112
Annalissa HaleIt’s a Saturday morning, and the bathroom floor has become my enemy. I grip the edge of the sink, my body trembling with every wave that hits. My stomach twists again, and I barely make it to the toilet in time.God, I hate this.The sound of the door creaking open makes me groan. “Dante, don’t come in here…”Too late.He leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, pretending to be annoyed but I can see he’s worried. “You should’ve told me earlier,” he says.“I didn’t think I needed to announce every time I throw up.” My voice comes out weaker than I want it to.He sighs, steps closer, and grabs a towel. The sight of Dante Romano, the infamous Don who terrifies half of New York, kneeling in front of me with a towel in hand almost makes me laugh.“Stop looking at me like that,” I murmur.He wipes the corner of my mouth gently. “You’re carrying my heirs, Issa. You have to tell me everything.”I rest my hand over my stomach that’s not even showing yet. “I’m fine,” I say.

Dante Romano Issa stands in front of the mirror, smoothing her dress for the tenth time. A small frown creases her forehead. She’s trying so hard to look calm, but I know better.I lean against the doorway, watching her. The blue sundress hugs her in all the right places. When she finally catches my reflection in the mirror, I can’t help but smile. She turns. Her eyes are bright but nervous. I close the distance, tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and press a kiss to her cheek.“We should head downstairs,” she whispers.I nod once.She walks beside me, chin up like she’s not shaking inside. No one would know what we just did upstairs, except maybe me. Because I can still feel her pulse on my fingertips.When we step into the dining room, everyone’s already finishing their meals. I feel her tense beside me, trying to compose herself. I pull her chair out, wait for her to sit before taking mine. Ornella looks at me, her eyebrows raised with that mischievous smirk of hers alread

Annalissa HaleHeat curls through me as Dante’s lips travel along the length of my neck. My lips curl into a smile even though he can't see it. He's too busy tormenting me with his mouth, planting wet, open-mouthed kisses on the side of my throat.Arousal starts deep in my core and spreads outward, dancing through my body and tingling in all my erogenous zones. Every time his lips kiss a new patch of skin, I shiver with pleasure. When his tongue tickles my jaw, I turn my head toward him and our mouths meet in the hottest kiss on the planet.I love the way he kisses. It's not sloppy or hurried, but skillful and slow and absolutely incredible. His lips brush mine, lazy and teasing, while his tongue sneaks inside every so often for a fleeting taste seductively retreating. I slant my head and drive the kiss deeper, and I moan when the wine flavor of him infuses my tongue. A masculine rumble comes from the back of his throat, and my belly clenches in response.A knock at the door makes

Last chapter has been edited. Read the last chapter before this. Annalissa HaleI suck in a deep breath as I take one last look at my reflection in the mirror. I’m in a soft blue sundress with a pair of flats and my hair is tied into a neat bun. Tonight’s dinner has to go well.The clock on the wall says 8:00.Any moment now, Dante’s family will arrive.A loud screech of tires cuts through the silence from outside, and my stomach drops. They’re here.Oh God, they’re actually here.I grab the edge of the dresser, inhale deeply, and hurry out of the room before my nerves can talk me into hiding. I almost run straight into Dante in the hallway.His timing is always uncanny.He catches me by the waist before I stumble. His brows furrow as his gaze sweeps over my face.“Hey,” he murmurs. “Don’t panic.”“I’m not panicking,” I lie, giving him a nervous smile.He doesn’t look convinced. His hand stays on my side before he leans forward and presses a soft kiss to my forehead.“You’ve got t

Annalissa Hale The mansion smells like rosemary and roasted meat. I walk across the living room, straightening a vase for the fifth time even though it doesn’t need fixing. My hands won’t stop fidgeting. Tonight has to go perfectly. The crystal glasses gleam under the chandelier light. The candles are set as per my orders and the napkins are also folded into perfect fans. Everything is ready. And yet my stomach twists like it knows something will go wrong. “Did you check the wine?” I ask one of the maids as I turn toward the dining table. “Yes, Signora,” she says with a small smile. “Everything is perfect.” Perfect. I glance toward the clock, it’s 6:05 p.m. Less than an hour until Dante’s family arrives. Less than an hour until I have to face his mother and grandfather, people who once welcomed me as Clarissa, who looked me in the eyes and believed I was someone else. A month ago, everything changed. I still remember the press conference, the flashes of cameras, the murmur

Annalissa HaleI fold the last of Dante’s clothes into the small hospital bag and sigh. The room smells faintly of antiseptic and his cologne which is an odd combination that, somehow, feels comforting now. It’s been three days since the night everything changed. Three days of monitoring his recovery, making sure he actually stayed in this hospital bed even when he kept saying, “A Don never abandons his empire.”He’d said it with that same stubborn glint in his eyes, and I’d rolled mine, telling him that even Dons need stitches to heal. It took a glare, a hand on my hip, and a soft “please, for me,” for him to stay put.Now, as I zip the bag shut, I think about the last couple of days and how they somehow became about us.Morning coffee, him teasing me for the way I stir too long. Me pretending not to notice the way his eyes softened every time I laughed. We’d even taken walks down the hospital corridor, hand in hand.It’s almost like the honeymoon we never got.I haven’t fo
