Becoming Mrs De Luca Novels & Stories

At the DeLuca Family banquet announcing its new advisor, Matteo said he was going to end nine years of secrecy and finally acknowledge our relationship in public. I stood in the back row of the banquet hall, so nervous I'd crumpled my prepared speech into a ball. Over nine years, I'd cleaned up the port books for him three times, negotiated two cross-border shipping routes, and taken a bullet for him. Everyone knew the DeLuca Family had a female advisor who never showed her face, but no one knew I was that woman. I thought that after tonight, I would finally stop being his shadow. Until the screen at the front of the banquet hall lit up. There was no photo of us. Instead, there was only a si

Chapter 19: Betrayal Uncovered Luca Moretti had never trusted her. From the moment Bella Caruso—no, Isla Romano—stepped into their world, something about her had felt off. She was too sharp, too careful. Her presence wasn’t just coincidence—it was calculated. And Luca had spent too many years in the DeLuca family to ignore his instincts. So, he dug. And what he found changed everything. --- The DeLuca estate’s security room was dimly lit, the glow from multiple monitors casting eerie shadows across Luca’s face. The DeLuca security team was efficient, but no one was more thorough than Luca when he had a suspicion to confirm.

he said without further words. "And tell me about Lucas." I shift on the soft chair to straighten my back. "His mother, Aurelia Montevecchi, grew up in Russia. Despite her being pure Italian, she became a Russian interpreter. Aurelia was secretly involved with a Mafia in Russia, but only as an Italian spy. She's an expert in chemistry. She's practically a ticking time bomb. She was once assigned to be Gerlando De Marchi's interpreter when he was personally doing business there. That's how they met. They got married quickly and had Lucas after that. Gerlando was already Boss and he was ecstatic when he heard he'd be having an heir. He's good with business and his public cover is the CEO—now r

Luca did not appreciate that question. “I graduated highschool at 14 and went to college. I have a degree in accounting and business. Like Heather, I kept a low profile and didn’t do much outside the pack.” Alpha Winston smiled. “I knew you were smart. Your father would have been proud. “Where did you land?” “She was in my mother’s pack.” Luca spoke up. “That’s how we met.” Our drinks came out. Quietly, she placed each glass on the table before leaving the entire bottle in the middle of it.

DELUCA Seated before me was Elena. She stared straight into my eyes as we sat there. From the side, I could see Lucas grinning at us, sipping champagne. The bastard was clearly enjoying my situation, laughing to himself. “Mrs. Russo,” I finally broke the silence. She tilted her head slightly, deep in thought, before responding—colder than I had ever heard her. “Mr. Deluca, you know why I’m here,” she said. I gave a simple nod. My expression betrayed nothing, but internally, any relief I had felt earlier was already gone. A headache was starting to pound at the back of my skull.

I stood in the shadows outside the door, my fingers slowly going numb. The Red Room was Lucian's most private club, all black marble, dark gold light, and DeLuca men posted at every entrance with guns hidden under their jackets. Ordinary people did not walk in uninvited, but I was Mrs. DeLuca. Once, no one dared stop me. For the first time, I felt like a stranger there. Inside, someone tried to speak up for me. "Lucian, that is harsh. Everybody knows Evelyn almost lost her Moretti inheritance for you. She shared that loft with you, sold her jewelry, and went to the Bellinis to get you that first deal. None of that was nothing."

Her eyes flickered to Luca, who had just emerged from the bathroom, his damp hair pushed back, a towel draped over his shoulders. He met her gaze, smirked— And then casually said— “Oh, Mrs. Avancii, you’re about to become a celebrity.” Maria’s mouth fell open. Her stomach twisted. Her entire world was about to change.

Untouchable. But inside, I was anything but. When Luca appeared in the doorway in a black tuxedo, I felt the air shift. His eyes swept over me slowly, lingering on the curve of my belly before meeting my gaze. “You’re stunning,” he said simply. He offered his arm, and I took it, my heart steadying itself for the performance ahead. Tonight, I wasn’t just Mira. I was Mrs. De Silva. And I had to play the part perfectly—while keeping my eyes open for every clue, every slip of truth that might lead me closer to the answers I needed.

CHAPTER 55 Luis Why am I even feeling bad about what happened? She is not the first virgin on the earth. My thoughts were struggling, but the fact was she was the first virgin in my life. "The graduation ceremony for Ms. DeLuca is tomorrow, boss. Would you like me to do something?" David inquired, and I was not sure what was best for that stubborn woman. "Just make sure the day is unforgettable for her without her knowing I was behind it because Enrico's fall is now closer than ever," I added as I walked into my room.

There was a giant podium in the middle of the yard with a stand on it, and everybody seemed to be crowded around it. "What?" I turned and looked at Nikko, who was beaming. "What is this?" "This is your Luna ceremony," he said, wrapping his arms around me. "Luna ceremony? You don't mean…" My eyes started to tear up. "I get to be Luna now?" "You've earned it, my love." He kissed the top of my head, then tipped his chin up to gesture. "There's another surprise too." I followed his gaze to see my mom walking up to us.
