Alle Kapitel von His Forbidden Mafia Princess: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 5

Aleena — POVHatred simmered beneath my calm expression as I sat at the dinner table. My designer dress clung tightly to my body while the scent of expensive food filled the room. I could feel everyone watching me.“Aleena Caruso will marry your son, Nico Bellini,” my father announced to Mr. Angelo Bellini.Angelo nodded in approval. His bald head gleamed beneath the chandelier, gold rings covered nearly every finger, and the gaps between his teeth somehow made him look even more intimidating. Everything about him screamed wealth and power.My eyes shifted to Nico Bellini. At least he didn’t resemble his father.Nico was handsome, with sharp features, dark hair slicked back perfectly, and piercing green eyes but none of that mattered. He was still not the man I wanted to marry.“Aleena agrees to this arrangement, Mr. Luciano?” Nico asked coldly, glancing at me for only a second.“Yes,” my father answered before I could speak. “My daughter respects my wishes and will follow through.”T

Aleena — POVI woke before dawn, only to find the most annoyingly handsome face already waiting for me. Caldwell. Of course. My day started with his bitter expression and rigid posture, standing in the corner like some damn soldier on guard duty.Ignoring him was impossible. I hated this situation.

Detached.I headed for the door, but paused when he spoke again.“I’m not training you. I’m training myself.”I scoffed. “Really? Then let’s spar.”Yesterday’s interruption still burned under my skin. I planned on making him pay for it. He stared at me like I’d suggested someth

Aleena–POVI gasped softly and groaned, my eyes darting around the room. I was in bed.“Sis, you’re awake.”El’s calm voice reached me first. Her tear-stained eyes looked at me with concern written all over her face. She quickly pulled me into a hug. I smiled weakly at the warmth in her eyes. When she pulled away, her worried gaze lingered on me.“The doctor said you collapsed from exhaustion,” she said softly. “You also had a panic attack. Are you really that nervous about the engagement party? I know crowds make you panic.”“I’m okay,” I whispered, forcing a reassuring smile.My eyes drifted toward the other side of the room where Nico and Caldwell stood silently in the corner like ghosts.“What time is it?” I asked.“We still have time before the other guests arrive,” Nico replied in a calm tone, though not entirely cold.“Great,” I sighed in relief.“You had a panic attack,” El said, breaking the silence. “You should rest. Don’t you think? I’ll speak with Father and ask him to pos
