Betty's POV

I open my eyes, feeling a bit groggy. I roll over and reach for my pillow, covering my face with it.

What did I do last night? Why does my head feel like it's going to split in two?

Oh, right, I remember now. Carmella and I went out partying. I can’t help but chuckle as I think about what she said regarding the frog prince.

"My frog prince..." I bite my lower lip, thinking about it. I can still feel his lips on mine, and it feels wonderful.

"My frog prince?" Automatically, my eyes

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 44

    Betty's POV.Sitting so close to Drake in this cubicle is suffocating. I've never been this close to him before. We don’t share a room; we have separate rooms, so being in such close proximity is making me uncomfortable. Uncomfortable in a seductive way. I could have chosen to sit in the open section, but of course, we are in first class. The private jet that his family owns is a luxury, complete with two pilots, several flight attendants, and more than a dozen of Drake's people. Jet is here, but Diego is not.The beautiful stewardess serves us our fancy meal and wine, which is really good. Afterward, everyone fell quiet. Drake is taking a nap, but I can't seem to sleep. Instead, I start scrolling through the movie options on the screen."Are you okay?" He must have noticed me because I've been trying to be as quiet as possible."Uh-huh... I’m, um, just scrolling through some movies to watch."He clears his throat and adjusts his chair to sit upright. Leaning closer to me, he glanc

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 43

    Betty's POV.I'm feeling tired and worried. I'm tired because my body is aching, and I'm worried about my parents being alone without me. However, I need to focus on the positive side: I'm going to Italy with Drake. I will live there with him and be his faithful wife—until when? Maybe forever?I twist my lips in dismay as I envision the potential downsides of this situation. I don't want to be apart from him while I'm in Italy. I won't have anyone there. I have no friends, and if something were to happen, I would have no one to turn to. No one knows me there, and if Drake were to do something that could jeopardize my life, no one would be aware of it—not even my parents.The thought of traveling thousands of miles away from home to meet someone who is still a stranger is making me reconsider my decision. However, it's too late to back out now; I'm already here. I might as well see where this leads.One more thing—my mom mentioned that my biological mother is from Italy. But honestly,

    Drake's POVAside from that specific date, I took Betty around the city. She's easy to please and doesn't like expensive things. I noticed that simple pleasures, like eating a grilled banana, make her happy. I don't need to impress her with luxury items or pricey food because she always checks the prices. If she sees that something is too expensive, she won't hesitate to leave the place.Carmella asked me to slow down because her father is still dealing with the aftermath of the situation within the clan. The Nustra and El Cubeneros are attacking Eagle's other territory to carry out extractions. However, they will never be successful. Eagle has numerous connections, which only makes their efforts more futile."They're doing everything they can while you're away, Drake. You're not here, so the mice are having a party everywhere," she laughs. "Everything is ready just the way you wanted. I really don't like the idea of you sleeping in a different room, Drake. You and Betty are married!

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 41

    Betty's POVI can't stop smiling. My mouth is watering, and I can't wait to eat the food Diego bought. We left the restaurant, and he drove us back to our place. It's quite peaceful here, and it seems like we’re the only customers in this area. The view is amazing, overlooking the surroundings. This restaurant is located up the hill, and not many people come here because of the distance. When we arrived, Diego was already there, waiting for us and holding something. I never expected that Diego would buy this, and he mentioned that it was Drake who asked him to get these for me."Yum! Thank you, Drake!"I truly believe my happiness is what counts most! It’s amazing how simple pleasures and affordable meals can bring so much joy. Luxury isn’t necessary for me. I find contentment in the little things and embrace joy in an authentic way. That’s what life is all about!Drake looks at me, not blinking at all. I keep eating, smiling at him."Do you want to try?" I say, holding out the chi

    Betty's POVI don't know where he is going to take me. It's almost lunchtime, but that's alright because I'm not hungry yet. I thought we would stop at the nice restaurant we passed earlier, but I was wrong. We are still looking for something. As we continue, the area starts to become familiar to me. The crowd along the side of the road reminds me of the time I lived here for three months.Drake parks the car, and we both step out. The people sitting on the sidewalk and the vendors begin to look at us. I smile at the old man beside us who is displaying something. He glances at Drake and then at his car.I look around at the busy street. The traffic is heavy, and noise fills the air. I'm following Drake, who seems to be searching for something, but I have no idea what it is.I don't think this is where our date will end up. It doesn't feel like a place for two people on a date."Where are we going?" I ask as I trail behind him.He stops, glances around the corner of the street, and the

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 39

    Betty's POV.Drake's gloomy face greeted me as I opened the door. He leaned against the hallway wall, arms crossed over his chest."I'm home," I said with a smile as I shut the door. My parents must have gone to bed early, as they often do.Drake didn't respond. I walked past him, sensing his gaze on me as I moved. I stepped into our bedroom and noticed that the door connecting our rooms was open. "You don't want Diego to come and get you, yet Jason drives you home. Why didn't you invite him inside? I would love to get to know him personally."My lips twist slightly. There it is—he's grumpy. What’s his problem? Usually, he doesn’t care at all, but now? Dang it. It must be a full moon tonight for him to be acting like this."Are you okay? You sounded unhappy," I say, turning halfway as I undo my hair tie."No, I'm not angry, Betty. I know you’ll be out today with Jane. You never mentioned that Jason would be joining you.""I met Jason on campus, and he gives me a ride to Jane's work
