The Mafia's Nanny 368
368Allesio’s POV Rosa wasn’t good at hiding things from me.She thought she was. She liked to pretend she was unreadable, a closed book with a locked cover, but I had spent too much time memorizing every page of her.So when I noticed the way her shoulders tensed at the mention of the wedding, the way her fingers curled into her palm when she thought no one was looking—I knew something was wrong.The problem was that she wasn’t saying a damn word about it.I waited, watching her closely over the next few days. She still smiled, still talked about flower arrangements and seating charts, still rolled her eyes whenever our families made the wedding feel more like a business merger than a celebration—But there was something beneath it. Something simmering just below the surface.And I hated it.I hated seeing her like this.So after another dinner filled with yet another round of “this wedding is politically important” speeches, I finally cornered her.She was standing by the window of

367Dante’s POV. They were whispering her name like a ghost.Rosa Smith.It was in passing, spoken under breath, in hushed conversations I wasn’t meant to overhear. Like people were too afraid to say it too loud, as if even the sound of her name might summon me into a rage.They weren’t wrong.I was in a Miami club when I heard it first. Sitting in the VIP section, a girl I barely remembered curled under my arm, sipping from my glass like she belonged there. I wasn’t listening to anything going on around me—until one of my men muttered something that made my blood go ice cold.“…Rosa’s getting married.”My glass shattered in my hand before I even realized I’d clenched my fist.Silence rippled across the table. Every man at the booth turned stiff, and watched me.I let the shards of glass fall from my fingers, ignoring the sting. “What did you just say?”Mason, one of my lieutenants, hesitated. Like he was reconsidering his life choices. Smart man.I leaned forward, voice eerily calm.

366Rosa’s POV I have never been the type to eavesdrop.Okay, that was a lie—I absolutely eavesdropped when necessary, and in this family, it was always necessary. But this time, I hadn’t gone looking for trouble. Trouble had landed right in my lap.I was on my way to my father’s office, intending to confirm details about the wedding guest list when I heard the tone. That low, clipped edge in my father’s voice that meant someone had just brought him bad news.So, naturally, I paused at the door.“…reliable informant,” a voice said from inside. “He wouldn’t come to us unless he was certain.”Silence. Then my father’s deep sigh. “And yet, what he’s brought us is nothing. Vague whispers of trouble? That could mean anything.”“I don’t like it,” the other man replied. “It’s too close to the wedding.”Wedding. My wedding.I stiffened.“The wedding is exactly why these rumors are being spread,” my father said, sounding unimpressed. “People are always looking for ways to undermine a strong a

365Rosa’s POV I had killed men without blinking.I had stood in rooms full of ruthless crime lords and never once let my voice waver.I had faced betrayal, heartbreak, and fought my way back from the wreckage.But standing in front of a mirror, wrapped in a cloud of lace and tulle, I felt my stomach do a little flip.I looked… like a bride.Like a woman on the verge of stepping into something permanent.“Holy shit,” Emilia breathed beside me, her hands clasped together as she stared at me in the mirror. “You look… ridiculous. And by ridiculous, I mean, so stunning that Allesio is going to pass out when he sees you.”I let out a sharp breath, pressing my palms against my waist. “It’s just a dress.”Emilia scoffed. “It’s not just a dress. It’s the dress. The one you’ll be wearing when you say ‘I do’ to your big, bad mafia prince.” She smirked. “And then, presumably, get ravished in later.”I groaned and smacked her arm. “You are actually the worst.”She just grinned, completely unboth

364Rosa’s POV I had faced armed men with nothing but a blade strapped to my thigh.I had walked into negotiations where one wrong word could mean blood on the floor.I had even survived a heartbreak so brutal that I swore I’d never let a man touch me again.But somehow, sitting here at this long, intimidating dining table, with both the Smiths and the Castillos staring at me, was making my hands sweat.I curled my fingers into my lap, keeping my expression calm, controlled. Like I wasn’t already imagining the absolute chaos that was about to unfold the second I opened my mouth.Beside me, Allesio reached over, resting his hand on my thigh.I turned my head, meeting his eyes. They were silently asking me if I was okay.I inhaled and exhaled.And then I nodded.Time to drop the bomb.I turned back to the table, straightening my spine. “We’ve set a date for the wedding.”There was silence.For exactly three seconds.Then, as expected, the room exploded.“Finally,” Emilia said, grinning

363Rosa’s POV The hour dragged on very slowly and every tick of the clock was grating on my nerves.Allesio sat beside me, calm as ever, while I sat on the edge of my chair, bouncing my knee like an addict in withdrawal.Meanwhile, Alaric was still in there with Emilia.Which was a good thing, because if he’d been out here, I’m pretty sure he would’ve threatened to burn the hospital down by now.“I feel like I’m going to throw up,” I muttered, gripping my hands together.Allesio smirked. “You’re not even the one giving birth.”I snapped my head toward him. “Do you want me to punch you right now? Because I will. Just to burn off the stress.”He chuckled, reaching out to play with a strand of my hair. “Relax, bambolina. The hardest part is almost over.”I exhaled sharply. “Easy for you to say. You’re not best friends with a hormonal mafia wife who has a love-hate relationship with knives.”He laughed again, but before I could give him another death glare, the labor room doors swung op
