DISCLAIMER

DEAREST GENTLE READERS,Firstly, thank you so much for choosing Luciano’s Forbidden Desire. I need you to know that your choice to embark on this journey with me means so much. And if you're coming from the previous book in the MAFIA RUTHLESS SERIES, which is—THE MAFIA’S WILLING PREY, then I need you to know that you're right on track, because the ride here is just about to become much more intense.Although this is the second book of the MAFIA RUTHLESS SERIES, you don't need to worry as this book is a standalone. You can read this book without really missing out much, because it explores an entirely different plot and couple. But, if you would love to get a grasp on reoccurring characters like Don Alessandro, interconnected mafia wars, then feel free to read the first book in the series before hopping on to this one or you can read this before returning back—please, do what works best for you.♦~•♦~•♦~•♦TRIGGER WARNING♦~•♦~•♦•~♦Lovelies, as the blurb implies, this is a dark roman

Chapter 1~ A man bleeding on the altar

Chapter 1 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* There is a man bleeding on the altar. I blinked—once, twice, to be sure I wasn't seeing things. I'm not, because he is still there and he's bleeding quite a lot. There's blood all over the floor that I have to force myself to breathe… and not throw up. My eyes dart across the cathedral, but there is no one here but him… and me—an ordinary nun who is yet to take her vows. What should I do? I can't just run and leave him here… The only reason why I'm up at this ungodly hour is because I couldn't sleep. I've been having trouble sleeping this days and I only needed fresh air. Maybe Mama was right—where ever I go, bad things tend to happen. Take a deep breath, Liz. Take. a. deep. breath, Liz. Exhaling deeply, I walked towards him, clutching my rosary like it was meant to protect me from him. He could be a bad man. What if him bleeding on the altar is an act? What if I get there he’ll grab me and— Oh. My. God. He's l

Chapter 2~ Lord, please help me

Chapter 2 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* Resting my hand against his chest, a feeling of relief washed over me when I discovered he was still breathing. That counts for something, doesn't it? When I made a move to undress him, I started feeling fidgety and nervous all over, and I know why. I've never been this close to a man before. Never ever. I'm twenty-three and still a virgin. And I'm bound to remain one till I take my last breath. So this feeling should be totally normal. Right? “Lord, please help me,” I muttered to myself before reaching out to undress him. Each button I opened revealed a perfectly sculptured chest and I had to force my eyes back to his face. This man was incredibly good looking. That was one fact that I couldn't deny, no matter how many voices in my head screamed that I should. I peeled off his blood-soaked shirt completely and really took my time to look at him. Swallowing, my eyes roamed all over him in fascination. His chest and biceps

Chapter 3~ I was an accomplice... an accomplice to murder

Chapter 3 *~•*•~*•~* Elizabeth *~•*•~*~•* When I finally opened the door, Mother Roselyn stood at the other end, fuming with rage. “Mother—” I didn't even finish because she cut me off mid-speech. “Where have you been? I've been calling you for a while now, and don't tell me you didn't hear me screaming your name like I've lost my mind.” I couldn't tell her the truth. She wouldn't believe me. Worse still, the mister was undressed and on my bed. There were so many theories that can be cooked up and I'm very sure none of them would end up in my favour. “Elizabeth!” she yelled out, trying to look into my room but I blocked her view. She can't look inside not while he's still on my bed. “Yes, Ma,” I answered too quickly, my attention diverted. I hoped she didn't notice that I was shaking. “Didn't you hear my question? Or have you suddenly gone deaf?” “I did… I was sleeping. I didn't hear when you called earlier, I'm sorry.” She looked at me like I was another myster

Chapter 4~ My worst nightmare

Chapter 4 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• Where the fuck am I? Certainly not my fucking bed! My head feels so heavy and it takes everything in me not to yank it off. One moment I'm sending a knife through that fucking priest’s throat and the other moment… I'm crawling into the church. If someone told me I would be anywhere near the altar, I would have called them a fool. Now look who just crawled into the temple… I'm still struggling to remember what happened after that, everything just pops up in my head vaguely, leaving more gaps and questions. Well, for starters, I remember getting shot. Not by the priest by the way. The man was such a weakling that killing him could count as the easiest one I've ever done. So no, he wasn't the one. It was someone else entirely, and before I could draw my attention to whoever it was, they fled like fucking cowards. Which means I was right earlier. I was being followed. And that's a puzzle I'm willing to solve later. The real

Chapter 5~ The lucky groom

Chapter 5••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••When Alessandro Moretti, the capo dei capi and my cousin, enters the study, everyone stands and keeps standing until he takes his seat at the head of the table. No one knows why we've all been summoned.The last time we had this sort of meeting, we ended up having a raid on the Russians. Lots of blood spilled and lives lost.My favourite thing to do.Now, I have this feeling we're not here for the Russians, but something else entirely. And the suspense is killing me.I’ve never been a patient man with these kind of things. Alessandro turned towards the guard and motioned his head towards the door.“Leave and close the door. Make sure no one else comes in, not even my wife.”The guard nodded quickly, making his way to the exit and locking the door after him. Alessandro leaned back in his chair, eyeing us all like he was contemplating the right time to drop the bomb he had in mind.“As you already know, the Russians are after something we want,

Chapter 6~ Stupid, foolish, ungrateful child!

Chapter 6*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*My mama hates me.No, maybe that was too harsh—my mama looks at me like she hates me.Every time she looks at me, I feel like I'm something she can't stand the sight of.A disappointment.A disgrace.An excuse of a daughter.My heart always sinks when she looks at me like that. Over the years I've learnt how to control my tears when she hits me or says degrading words to me. Although sometimes I let the tears flow when the words are too much for me to bear.And something tells me today will be one of those days.When Mother Roselyn called me into her office earlier, telling me I had a visitor, I strongly hoped it would be Gemma—my sister and not Mama. To my dismay, my wish wasn't granted.She stood behind the Cathedral, her normal waiting spot. Even though I know she picks it because it was supposed to be the perfect place for her to hit me without anyone interfering.Not like if they interfered, she would ever stop.“Hello Mama,” I muttered,

Chapter 7~ Holier-than-thou attitude

Chapter 7*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*Mama shoved me inside the room, her eyes raking over me in disgust. The room was the only place she could hit me in peace without the neighbours running to our front door to figure out what was happening.“Mama! Stop it… you'll kill her,” Gemma screamed, trying to drag our mother out but she was past any level of reasoning.“Gemma, leave this place. I need to teach her a lesson, one she would never forget. She thinks because she's serving the Lord now, that makes her better than the rest of us, makes her capable of questioning me? That holier-than-thou attitude is not fooling me, and it's certainly not going to fool anyone else.”“I’m so sorry… Mama,” I whispered, with no idea of what exactly I was apologizing for.My back hurt due to how hard I fell against the floor. I could no longer suppress the tears from streaming down my face, and when she saw them, she got really angry. Her eyes were burning with such lethal fire that showed that she w

Chapter 8~ There's a killer in the house

Chapter 8 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~° “Hello, sister,” he rasped, in that familiar voice that does things to my insides that I can't explain. His voice is deep. But gentle. Soft even. And my brain doesn't know how to react. My stare shifted from him to Mama, but she's too excited to notice how uneasy I'm feeling. Is this the man Gemma is supposed to get married to? Does Mama know he's a killer? Does she know he killed the priest in the church? A scream catches in my throat, too strangled to be heard. I'm dreaming. My eyes squeezed shut, and I forced myself to breathe. I must be dreaming. But when I open then again, the man is still here. He's staring at me like he knows exactly what am thinking. Adrenaline courses through my body, yet I don't move. I can't move. “Come sit with us, Elizabeth!” Mama muttered softly through gritted teeth, her eyes telling me what she's feeling at the moment. My lips part, but my words get jumbled on my tongue and I have to swallow befor

Chapter 9~ Temptation has a cruel sense of humour

Chapter 9 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• Well, fuck me. Temptation has a cruel sense of humour. And it's all wrapped up in form of my to-be wife's sister. Trust me when I say I'm hardly surprised when sudden things come my way—strange things to be precise. Because I’ve learnt that in this life, nothing happens without a reason. So when they happen, I'm not surprised. I just shrug it off and act like it's my fucking usual—even though it fucking isn't. But seeing the nun who saved my life stand right in front of me is one of the biggest shockers I've ever received. To say that I'm surprised is me fucking exaggerating. When I laid my eyes on her in her room on that day, I knew I wasn't going to leave her alone. I know she's a nun. I know I am everything she's supposed to avoid if she wants to be welcomed properly as a bride of Christ. But goddamn it! When did nuns start to look like that? And for fucks sake, she has to be my to-be wife's sister? I can't betray Alessandro. H
