The Orphan Bride Was a Mafia Princess Chapter 9
The night the Vitali family went bankrupt, it was pouring.The power was out in the old mansion. Only the dying fire gave off a little light in the darkness.Charlotte threw the last of her designer bags into a suitcase, each one hitting it with a thud. "The Winston family is finished. The Vitali family is ruined! All because of that bitch! And you're still sitting here thinking about her! Luca, I should have left you a long time ago!"Luca sat on the dusty floor, holding the wedding ring that should have been mine.He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with anger."Leave?" He got to his feet and slowly walked toward her. His voice was low and cold. "You want to leave now, Charlotte? Who begged me to marry her? Who cried and said she couldn't live without me?""That was when you were still the Vitali heir!" Charlotte let out a shrill laugh that was almost frightening. "I thought we'd have everything! But look at us now! Nicole... she's a monster!""Shut up!" Luca grabbed her by the th

"How did you know?" Luca's voice was rough and shaky. "When did you find out?""Please, Nicole. Let me explain." He grabbed my wrist so tightly that it hurt.The moment he touched me, his emotions rushed over me like a wave.Navy regret covered every inch of him. Beneath it burned a bright crimson. Love.I looked into his slate blue eyes. The panic and pain in them seemed too real to fake."I've been such a fool!" His fingers trembled. "I always thought you didn't matter because I was so sure you'd never leave. But when you didn't show up today, I finally realized that I've loved you all along. Nicole, don't leave me. I'm begging you. Please, just give me one chance."What a joke.I had stood by him faithfully for five years and never earned one moment of real love.And the instant I turned to leave, his love came flooding in."What are you saying, Luca?" Charlotte stared at him in disbelief. "You said you loved me! You said you only wanted me!"Luca sank to his knees. "I'm sorry, Nico

St. Mary's Cathedral was packed. Luca stood at the end of the red carpet in a tailored suit.The organ began to play. He wore the gentle smile he had practiced countless times, waiting for the woman he was sure would appear.One second. Two seconds. No one appeared at the other end of the carpet.Luca's smile froze. Beside him, Charlotte could barely hide her joy.Luca was about to ask the officiant to stall when every light in the cathedral suddenly went dark. A moment later, the massive screens around the cathedral lit up.Moans filled the cathedral, loud enough to make every guest go red. Then came Luca's voice, unmistakable."After the wedding, I'll send her abroad. I'll make sure she never has a reason to come back. I'm only marrying her for the inheritance. My heart belongs to you, Charlotte."The footage showed Luca and Charlotte kissing on the darkened terrace, their trip on the cruise, and his proposal to her at the church.On the screen, Luca knelt in front of Charlotte and s

Crestwood's neon lights flashed past the windows.For five years, I had kept my head down and hidden who I really was, all to keep the Rosso family's dangerous world away from the man I loved.In the end, the man I had given my heart to was nothing but a wolf hiding behind a gentleman's mask.The grand Rosso estate soon came into view. Two rows of bodyguards in black suits stood at attention and bowed together as the motorcade drove through the gates.The car slowly came to a stop.Two people were waiting for me on the wide stone steps of the main house.One was my father, Bryan Rosso, the Don of the Rosso family. His hair was silver, and his presence alone demanded respect.Beside him stood my older brother, Elio Rosso, tall and imposing.After five years, I no longer had to pretend to be the timid foster daughter of the Vitali family. I straightened my back. The pride I had buried for five years finally returned. I was a Rosso again.My father walked quickly toward me and pulled me i

"Come on, don't be mad. It was all my fault. I swear it'll never happen again! Tomorrow I'm flying to Northport to sign a contract. The trip will take about five days. When I get back, we'll get married. I can't wait."I gently pulled away from Luca's arms. He patted my head and spoke gently. "Get some rest. I've got some paperwork to go through tonight, so I won't be staying."He hurried away, clearly eager to leave. I watched him go and chuckled.Luca didn't know it yet. There wouldn't be a next time.The next day, I started receiving photos of Luca and Charlotte traveling around Northport together.In every photo, the two of them were always close together.They went on a luxury cruise, walked along a romantic beach, and dined at five-star restaurants. They went everywhere together.They kissed under the fireworks, played together in the ocean, and Luca even took her to a church.She wore a wedding gown. He knelt in front of her. The diamond on the ring was blinding.So this was the

"Nicole, let's talk." Charlotte's striking face was full of pride.I looked at Luca. He said nothing and left the room.Charlotte folded her arms and looked down at me like a queen. "Are you okay? Luca's been worried about you. So have I. The cake was my fault. I thought you liked mango too, so I ordered it without asking.""Don't worry about it." I turned away. "It doesn't matter anymore.""Are you scared of me?" She laughed loudly.I frowned and watched her without saying a word."Relax. I'm here to be your bridesmaid, not to steal Luca." She leaned closer and lowered her voice. "Of course, if I really wanted him, you'd have been out of the picture a long time ago."I looked at her. "Really? Charlotte, if you're so confident, why did you stand by and watch Luca get engaged to me?"Charlotte's expression changed. "So what? There will never be a place for you in his heart.""It doesn't matter." I shrugged. "If you want Luca that badly, take him. He says he loves you, but he's still wil
