All Chapters of THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

ALESSANDRO I was going to give Lorenzo so much shit when he returned. He was out on Vacation that was the reason he didn’t want to have a drink with me.Right now, I just needed to figure out how to keep Mr. Moretti out.Lorenzo didn’t even try hiding his forbidden relationship with Alessia. I had caught him several times smiling at a text he received. I decided I wouldn’t bring it up to him or at least tell him how dangerous what he was doing was.Partly because who he loves is none of my business as long as she treats him right. He’s been through a lot, and the last thing he needs is someone adding to it.I wasn’t sure Alessia was the one. Sure, I married the sister, which is the main reason I was skeptical. But seeing how she reacted the day Lorenzo was shot, all my doubts were cleared. And also because Mr. Moretti doesn’t have the right to tell his daughters who to love regardless of whether he’s their father.I’m all for forbidden love… until it gets busted. But we’ll get there

ELENAI let out an exasperated breath and stared at Alessia through my phone.Tonight was the party Papà had planned, and all the clothes I had picked didn’t seem to fit in. There was always something wrong with them,either I didn’t like the way I looked in them, or they weren’t exactly what I was going for.At this point, I was done and ready to call it a night. But knowing who Papà is, he would come here and drag me out. God forbid his daughter doesn’t attend the party he threw.“I’ve told you, all these are amazing,” Alessia said, equally frustrated by my indecisiveness.We’d been at this for close to an hour, and I knew I should free her.“You know you don’t have to do this with me,” I said, picking up the phone. Her face covered my whole screen.Behind her, I could see the dress she had picked out. She had bought it in Paris.“I know,” she mumbled, “but I still want to be here. You need to be sure Papà doesn’t chase you back home to change,” she joked, but I knew she was serious.

ELENAI thanked the stars when Luisa pulled me out of my parents’ scrutiny.I wasn’t ready to listen to Mamma make comments about my body.I snatched another glass of wine from the server, having emptied the last one.Luisa and Alessia eyed me suspiciously, making sure I wasn’t getting myself drunk. I was still sober—for now.We were at the corner where a makeshift bar had been created, chatting about high society.“And that woman over there,” Alessia nodded to a woman.I stylishly tipped my head to have a look. The woman in question was dressed in a tight red dress. She should be in her forties but could pass off as thirty.“What about her?” Luisa and I said in unison as we dragged our eyes from her, where she was pressed against an older man, who I presumed was her husband.Only explains why they’re sandwiched together and looking like they might need a room.“That’s her fourth husband,” she whispered close enough that no one else could hear.My eyes widened. “What?”She nodded slow

ELENAAlessandro made a satisfying sound when my lips landed on his. I had forgotten how soft they were. I gave him a quick peck on the lips and tried to move away, but he pulled me closer to himself.“What are you doing?” I seethed through clenched teeth.He shrugged. “We aren’t done here.”“But I am.”“No, you’re not. I said kiss, not that chaste peck on the lips.”Before I could reply, his lips came crashing down on mine. I sucked in a sharp breath as he used his tongue to guide my mouth open. I slightly parted my lips, and he slipped his tongue inside.The world around us blurred into quietness; the only thing that mattered in that moment was the way his mouth was sucking and savoring my every breath. And I hated the way I was enjoying this.I felt a dull ache low in my belly, and I knew it was time to wrap it up before I did something stupid like grinding my body against his in public.Someone cleared their throat. Alessandro sighed before pushing me away softly. My eyes landed o
