Consigliere

"Don't play with me, I can hurt you Clara; get out of here immediately!" Adrik yelled at her, pulling her away from him. "But why?" Clara enquired. Adrik Novikov was a vicious member of the Italian Mafia organisation " Novikov Consigliere," which was owned by his adoptive father. He is also a top graduate medical student from Harvard University who has worked as a professional surgeon in a top hospital in his country. Because he strongly believes in the sanctity of human life and suppresses his craving for blood in order to treat terminally sick patients and save lives, he is able to conceal his Mafia identity and live freely everywhere. His life is turned upside down when his adopted father dies and his step brother takes over as godfather and tries to frame Adrik to death, but he forgives him for the sake of his adoptive parents and leaves Italy with his best friend Darwin to settle in California, USA. Starts working as a professional surgeon in a well-known hospital, where his love life begins with one of his colleagues, Clara William. A fiery doctor and the daughter of Chaelol Group chairman Jace William, who owns the hospital. She is extremely capable, but snobbish and self-centred. How will they make a couple when they both have the same personality "Aggressive?" There is no one who is willing to accept defeat. Adrik intends to make her despise him! Clara wishes to make him fall in love with her! Who will triumph in this love conflict?

Tony Gambino never forgave me. His childhood sweetheart died saving my life, and for seven years, his hatred was a constant, silent burn. I fasted. I prayed. I begged for absolution. He met my penance with a cold sneer. "I'll only forgive you when you're dead." The words were a knife to the heart. So why, when we were both poisoned, did he shove the only antidote down my throat? As the poison claimed him, blood trickling from his lips, he choked out his last words, "Scarlett... in our next life, let's never meet." Later, I tried to visit his grave. His sworn brother and Consigliere, Richard Bruno, blocked my path. He pressed a gun to my forehead. "I don't know how you have the nerve to show your face here, Scarlett. He'd be alive if he hadn't saved you. "I should never have let him give up Elma for you. You're a curse. Everyone who gets close to you gets destroyed." Their eyes were unanimous in their blame. And they were right. So I watched his gravesite from a distance, my own guilt a heavier stone than any marker. Not long after, I was killed in a gang crossfire. When I opened my eyes, I was seven years in the past. This time, I made a different choice: I let Tony go—so that everyone might live.

Als mein Verlobter Draven mich zum 99. Mal einfach auflegte, schleppte ich mich zur Familienkirche. Die Diagnose eines terminalen Nierenversagens hielt ich gekrampft in der Hand. „Vater, ich möchte mich von der Familie Rocci lossagen und meine Verlobung mit Draven Frost beenden.“ Kaum hatte ich die Worte ausgesprochen, stürmten meine Eltern mit meiner Adoptivschwester Bianca herein. Mein Vater, der Consigliere der Familie, zögerte keine Sekunde. Vor den Augen des Priesters schlug er mir ins Gesicht. „Dein Verlobter ist ein respektierter Capo in unserer Welt – und du wagst es, ihn so zu beleidigen? Du ziehst den Namen unserer Familie vor der ganzen Organisation in den Dreck!“ Meine Mutter riss mir die Diagnose aus der Hand, überflog sie und verzog verächtlich das Gesicht. „Stellst du dich schon wieder krank, nur um Aufmerksamkeit zu erhaschen? Was willst du nun?“ Meine Adoptivschwester Bianca klammerte sich an die Arme unserer Eltern, ihre Stimme von Tränen erstickt. „Es tut mir so leid, Schwester. Nimm du meinen Platz auf der Gala. Bitte, bereite Mama und Papa einfach keinen weiteren Ärger!“ Ich wischte das Blut ab, das aus meiner Nase tropfte, und wiederholte ruhig meine Worte an den Priester. „Ich bin nicht länger eine Tochter der Familie Rocci. Ich bin einer Allianz mit den Frosts nicht würdig.“ „In drei Tagen liege ich im Grab. Bis dahin will ich diese Verlobung aufgelöst haben.“

"Knowing my real identity means DEATH." - Mafia Don Daven Verrano Costello **** Mahigit pitong taong naging consigliere ng Mafia Don sa bansang Italy si Daven Costello. Siya rin ang misteryosong CEO ng Philippines Bank Corporation (PBC) na may paid-in capital na 20 Billion Pesos. Nang mamatay ang boss ng kanilang mob ay nahirang siya bilang bagong pinuno. He's protective when it comes to his family's safety so he decided to keep it a secret. Ang akala ng marami ay isa lamang siyang hamak na secretary sa sarili niyang kompanya. Elera Luciano - ang nakamaskarang lider ng Asian Assasins at nagtatrabaho bilang General Manager sa PBC. Pinasok niya ang magulong mundo ng mafia para hanapin at pagbayarin ang taong pumaslang sa kaniyang tunay na ina. Dahil sa kalasingan, kalituhan at kapusukan, nagbunga ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan nina Daven at Elera. It was indeed a marriage before love set up dahil kapwa infatuation lang naman ang nararamdaman nila sa isa't isa bago pa may mangyari sa kanila. Nang magpakasal ang dalawa, naranasan ni Daven kung paano maliitin at ituring na parang basura ng kaniyang mga biyenan. Inalipusta, inapak-apakan at inalila. Maging si Elera ay itinuring na isang malaking kahihiyan ng kaniyang mga magulang. Hanggang isang araw, hindi na natiis ni Daven ang lahat. Nagimbal ang mundo ng angkan ng Luciano nang malaman nila ang tunay na katauhan ni Daven.

My mafia husband, Vincent Santoro, was born a monster, incapable of loving anyone. But one day, I discovered he was hiding a ‘forbidden fruit’. A girl from the slums, Claire Murphy. Scarred by life, yet as beautiful as a wildflower growing through concrete. For a man who'd waded through blood his whole life, she was a fatal attraction he never saw coming. He thought he'd covered his tracks. He was wrong. At the Santoro family's annual dinner, I confronted him about Claire, tears streaking down my face. He just lightly frowned, then had his consigliere slide the divorce papers across the table to me. "Isabella. Sign it. The three North Side docks and the shipping lines are yours." I tore the papers to shreds. He just kept raising the offer. He had me thrown into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan. He blew up my family's distillery—the Romano family's legacy. Finally, he took my parents. Tied them in an abandoned warehouse and made one watch as he set the other on fire. "Sign, or watch them burn. Your choice." I begged him on my knees, but a roar of flames consumed the world— The heat seared my skin, the ash of my parents clinging to my face. "No... NO!" When I opened my eyes, I was back. Back on the day I first learned about Claire. This time, no tears, no drama. That night, I called my family in Sicily and set my escape in motion. But the moment I vanished from his world… Vincent Santoro went insane.

A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

La nonagésima novena vez que mi prometido, Draven Frost, me colgó la llamada, fui como pude hasta la iglesia de la familia, aferrando en la mano el diagnóstico de enfermedad renal terminal. —Padre, quiero romper todos mis lazos con la familia Rocci y anular mi compromiso con Draven Frost. Apenas terminé de hablar cuando mis padres irrumpieron en la iglesia con mi hermana adoptiva, Bianca. Mi padre, el Consigliere de la familia, no dudó. Me dio una cachetada, ahí mismo, frente al sacerdote. —¡Tu prometido es un Capo muy respetado en la mafia y te atreves a insultarlo de esta manera! ¡Estás manchando el nombre de la familia frente a toda la organización! Mi madre me arrebató el diagnóstico de la mano y dijo con desprecio tras una rápida mirada: —¿Otra vez con tus mentiras para llamar la atención? ¿Ahora qué quieres? Mi hermana adoptiva, Bianca, se aferró a los brazos de nuestros padres, con la voz quebrada por el llanto. —Ay, hermana, lo siento mucho. Si quieres, te cedo mi lugar en la gala. ¡Pero por favor, ya no les causes más problemas a papá y a mamá! Me limpié la sangre que escurría de mi nariz y, con calma, le repetí mis palabras al sacerdote. —Ya no soy hija de la familia Rocci. No soy digna de una alianza con los Frost. Me quedan tres días de vida. Y quiero que este compromiso se anule antes de eso.
