The Mafia' s Bride Chapter 27
Yasmine POV As Valentina and I exchanged playful jeers while setting the table, I realized how different she seemed tonight. With her usual reserve cast aside, she was surprisingly engaging—her laughter, light and musical, softened the air between us. Then, the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. My heart jolted—I knew that stride anywhere. Luca was back. “Mi scusi, Signorina,” Valentina murmured, excusing herself as she hurried to the door. I followed more slowly, keeping a measured distance as I stepped into the sitting room. She was already at his side, slipping off his coat and shoes with practiced ease before vanishing to grant us privacy. “You’re back,” I said evenly, my tone calm, almost indifferent. “Not happy to see me?” His voice carried that teasing edge that always unsettled me. My lips curved into a reluctant smile. “Of course not,” I murmured, turning to retreat to the dining room. Before I could take a step, his arms closed around me. His strong,

Luca POV As soon as Matteo left, Dante started in on me, his voice sharp with suspicion. “Are you sure about this woman? She’s a stranger, Luca. You don’t know where her loyalty lies, and she might not be able to handle our way of life.” I poured a glass of whiskey, ignoring the weight in his tone. “Yes, I know that,” I said evenly. “But I’ve already made up my mind about her.” Dante leaned forward, jaw tight. “This isn’t like you. You don’t gamble with the family. What if she cracks under pressure? What if she runs? Or worse—what if she turns on us?” I set my glass down with a deliberate thud and fixed him with a cold stare. “She won’t.” He held my gaze, unblinking. “And if she does?” His meaning was clear—he was offering to handle it his way. My silence stretched, heavy as a loaded gun, before I spoke. “No, Dante. She’s mine. No one touches her. Not you, not anyone.” My voice hardened, a blade beneath velvet. “If she ever becomes a problem, I’ll deal with it

Luca POV Don Mancini stood, signaling to his son and cousin that it was time to leave."Since we are not of the same opinion, it’s time to go. But I’ll give you some time to reconsider. Until then, I will wait for your response.""I will not change my decision, Don Mancini. Alla prossima—see you next time." Without another word, the three men exited, leaving only Mateo Bellandi, diplomat of the Bellandi family and the third son of the clan.Calmly, he adjusted his cufflinks before speaking, his voice smooth and deliberate.“We would like to propose something different… an alliance between our families. Through marriage.” I narrowed my eyes, observing him in silence.“My sister, Aria Bellandi ” Mateo continued in a steady tone, “is of age and perfectly suited for a marriage like this. If she were to marry you, Luca, it would unite our families by blood rather than merely through business. To strengthen that bond, one of your sisters would also marry into the Bellandi family.”

Luca POVBefore leaving the penthouse, I strapped my gun into the arm holster and slipped a few knives into their discreet places before pulling on my coat. I took the private elevator down to the parking lot, where my driver was already waiting.He opened the door to the SUV, and I slid onto the leather seat, scrolling through a few messages from Dante. Moments later, we pulled out of the lot and arrived in front of the family restaurant where my meeting with some clients and associates was to take place.Dante stepped out, scanning the street with sharp eyes before landing on me. We clasped hands firmly, pulling each other into a brotherly hug—the kind forged from years of loyalty and blood ties.“Ciao, come stai?” I greeted, slapping his back.“Benissimo,” he replied, nodding, his voice steady. “Very good.”We headed inside, Dante slightly ahead, leading me to a private room at the back. The restaurant buzzed with low conversation, the clinking of cutlery, and occasional laughter f

Yasmine POVWe left the dining room, stepping into the warm morning air of the estate. Maria and the other staff waited outside. I noticed Maria’s stoic posture, her hands clasped tightly in front of her, as if decades of life experience had taught her that emotions were dangerous. She handed the suitcase I had seen her pack yesterday to one of the junior maids—a dark-haired girl with tanned skin I remembered from the garden.The helicopter waited on the dirt pad a few feet away. The rotors were still, humming faintly in the morning light.“Ciao, Signorina. I am Valentina,” the maid introduced herself, bowing slightly.“Ciao, Valentina,” I replied, glancing at Luca. He was giving instructions to Maria, Giulio, and a few vineyard workers, his tone clipped but firm. There was no warmth, no small talk—he treated them like family and protectors, as he always did, and they responded with respect, not fear.“This way, Signorina,” Valentina said, gesturing toward the helicopter.I followed,

Yasmine’s POV When I opened my eyes, the room was already glowing faintly with morning light. For a moment, I lay still, trying to steady my breath. The memories of last night pressed heavily on me—the forest, his voice commanding me to run, the fire in his eyes. I sat up, clutching the sheet around me. The space wasn’t familiar. Larger than the other bedroom, its high ceilings and heavy curtains carried an air of age, like a house that had belonged to his family for generations. And then I saw him. Luca was seated by the window, his posture relaxed but unmistakably alert, as though he had been awake for hours. His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled just enough to reveal strong forearms. A cup of espresso rested in his hand, and for a brief second, his gaze softened when it fell on me. “You’re awake,” he said, voice low but steady. I swallowed. “You’ve been sitting there this whole time?” His mouth curved faintly—not quite a smile. “Watching you sleep is less o
