Chef Luca Corleone

Tempting My Dad’s Irresistible Best Friend (SSPG) “I’m your dad’s friend, your boss… but tonight, I only want you, baby girl.” *** Hindi inakala ni Engr. Andrea Ramirez na ang isang gabi na puno ng saya at kalibugan ay kayang baguhin ang buong mundo niya. Isa lang dapat itong walang kahulugang one-night stand—isang hamon mula sa kaniyang mga kaibigan, at pagkakataon para patunayan na hindi na siya bata sa mata ni Luca. Ngunit kinabukasan, ang estrangherong hindi niya matigil na iniisip… ay walang iba kundi si Luca Romanov. Her dad’s best friend. Her boss. Her protector. At ang lalaki na matagal na niyang hinahangaan—ang kaniyang lihim na paghanga na akala niyang hindi niya kailanman makakamtan. Si Luca ay kaakit-akit, puno ng kumpiyansa sa sarili, at tila walang balak magseryoso sa pag-ibig dahil halos ang trabaho na lamang ang pokus niya. Ngunit sa kabila ng propesyonalismong iyon, hindi maiwasang madama ni Andrea ang kakaibang tensyon sa pagitan nila—isang apoy na hindi niya kayang patayin. Alam ni Andrea na mali at delikado ang pagsasama ng trabaho at pagnanasa. Pero bawat tingin, bawat galaw, bawat salita ni Luca ay pumupukaw sa kaniya. Hindi niya maitatanggi ang nararamdaman, at sa bawat sandali, nahuhulog siya nang mas malalim sa lalaking matagal niyang pinapangarap. Wala siyang ibang plano kundi paibigin si Luca. Handa siyang ilagay sa panganib ang lahat—ang kaniyang reputasyon, ang kaniyang trabaho, at ang kaniyang puso—upang mahulog sa kaniya ang kaibigan ng kaniyang ama. Ngunit hanggang saan siya handang magtiis bago tuluyang masunog sa apoy ng kanilang ipinagbabawal na pagnanasa?

Shortly after we said "I do," the Family sent my husband, Dario, down to the Mexican border. He told me it was a meat grinder down there—cartel territory. where guys were zipped into body bags every day. He said he had to go—to expand the territory, for the glory of the Family. He claimed it was too dangerous and that his enemies would paint a target on my back, so he wouldn't take me with him. I believed him. I stayed behind in his old, rot-infested house in New Jersey, taking care of his bitter, spiteful parents. I spent my days and nights in the Family's moldy laundromat, washing bills stained with blood. He told me he sent every dime he made down there to the widow of a brother who took a bullet for him. He asked me to be understanding. I never complained. Day after day, I pressed expensive suits in that humid laundromat, waiting for him to come home. It wasn't until the eighth year that a mobster came back drunk. When I asked about Dario, he froze, then sneered at me through a haze of alcohol. "Dario? Are you kidding? He’s been a King in Manhattan for years. He’s the youngest Underboss of the Corleone family." I stood frozen, the iron in my hand burning a hole right through a shirt. "And he got married seven years ago. Biggest cathedral in New Jersey. Half the mob was there to toast the groom..." He pulled a crumpled photo from his leather jacket. Snuggled up against my husband was a woman in a high-end couture gown—the very same "poor, widowed sister-in-law" he had told me about. The next day, I contacted a fixer who specialized in fake IDs. On the application for a one-way ticket to Europe—a ticket to vanish off the face of the earth—I filled in the fake name I had prepared long ago. He trapped me for seven years with a sham marriage. From now on, I’d be done with this damn loyalty.
