Don T Make Me Think

Don Romano Maranzano a tout perdu dans les flammes — sa famille, son avenir, sa paix. Désormais, seule la vengeance le maintient en vie. Lorsqu’il kidnappe Lucia Marino le jour de son mariage, elle devient bien plus qu’un simple pion dans sa guerre. Prisonnière de la colère d’un Don et d’un monde de secrets mortels, Lucia doit décider si survivre vaut le prix de céder son cœur. Dans un univers où la trahison est monnaie courante et où l’amour est une faiblesse, un seul faux pas pourrait les consumer tous les deux.

On the verge of being trapped in a forced marriage, Emily’s only way out might be to carry the baby of her fiancé’s archenemy. Dante Ferrari. Dante also happens to be her best friend’s cold and powerful older brother, who had always looked at her like she was a nuisance that needed to be controlled. Emily Collombo never had a choice. As the illegitimate daughter of the Collombo Family, she was nothing more than a pawn in the family’s business, forced to marry Marco Russo, heir to one of the formidable mafia clans in Italy. Her bleak future was sealed…. until one devastating mistake at the hospital changed everything. An insemination gone wrong, due to medical negligence. Now Emily carries the baby of not just any man, but Dante Ferrari. Don of the Ferrari Mafia Clan. The Ferraris aren’t just powerful, they are the pinnacle of power. Ruthless, untouchable, and feared across the underworld. The moment Dante discovers Emily carries his child, he makes one thing clear. SHE belongs to HIM now. And If war must break out between the Russos and the Ferraris, then let it burn.

Eu era a principal conselheira da Família Falcone. O cérebro deles. E hoje, eu estava indo embora — entregando os registros de todos os negócios legítimos que eu administrava e cortando meu último laço. Meu protegido não conseguia entender. — Você é o futuro desta Família, Aurelia. Não pode simplesmente ir embora. Balancei a cabeça com um sorriso amargo. Eles não sabiam. Eu estava secretamente casada com o Don, Vittorio Falcone, há três anos. Eu achava que minha aparência, minha inteligência e tudo o que eu havia oferecido a ele seriam suficientes para conquistar todo o seu amor. Uma execução nas docas, três meses atrás, me mostrou a verdade. Levei treze tiros. Era uma emergência. Eu precisava do cirurgião da família — o que exigia uma ordem direta de Vittorio. Liguei para ele mais de uma dúzia de vezes. Mas quando ele finalmente atendeu, tudo o que ouvi foi uma voz suave e ofegante do outro lado. — Vittorio, ainda não cortamos meu bolo de aniversário. Você pode segurar minha mão e cortar comigo? Aquela voz. Minha melhor amiga. A mulher por quem Vittorio já tinha se apaixonado. Carina. No esconderijo, fraca pela perda de sangue, retirei eu mesma a bala e mandei um dos meus homens me levar às pressas para uma clínica da família. Pouco antes de me levarem para a sala de cirurgia, Vittorio invadiu o lugar — carregando Carina. Era uma torção no tornozelo. Ela precisava de um médico. Agora. Meu cirurgião foi levado embora. Os antibióticos chegaram tarde demais. O ferimento infeccionou. Eu lutei pela minha vida por uma semana. Quando acordei, encarei meu celular. Nem uma única mensagem. As lágrimas finalmente vieram. Eu entendi. Eu era apenas a mulher com quem ele foi forçado a se casar depois de ser drogado e de dormir comigo. Um escândalo evitado. Tudo o que importava para ele era o meu valor e a reputação dele. E eu? A princesa secreta da Família Rossi, que havia aberto mão de tudo para construir o império dele. Tudo por nada. Então eu preparei quatro presentes de despedida. Uma celebração da nossa destruição mútua. E então ele nunca mais me veria.

Fünf Jahre nach meiner Heirat mit dem Don, Ives Moretti, ließ er mich bei einer Schießerei zum Sterben zurück – nur um seine Geliebte Isabella in Sicherheit zu bringen. Drei Tage später kam ich in einem privaten Krankenzimmer wieder zu mir. Keine Entschuldigung. Ives blieb kalt. „Du bist meine Frau. Du kanntest die Risiken. Hör auf, so ein Drama zu machen.“ Dann fügte er hinzu: „Isabella ist anders. Sie ist zerbrechlich. Sie hat mich gebraucht.“ Danach folgten drei Monate eisiges Schweigen. Wie immer wartete er darauf, dass ich nachgebe. Dass ich zurückkrieche und um Vergebung bitte. Drei Monate später servierte ich Isabella das Irland-Geschäft auf dem Silbertablett. Den Deal, an dem ich ein halbes Jahr lang gearbeitet hatte. Ives sah es als Versöhnungsgeste. Er lächelte – etwas, das inzwischen selten und fast schon fremd wirkte. „Ich wusste, dass du zur Vernunft kommst. Zur Belohnung fliegen wir nach Vegas. Ich weiß, dass du schon immer dorthin wolltest.“ Schon am nächsten Tag brach er sein Versprechen. Er nahm stattdessen sie mit nach Vegas. Mir sagte er: „Das ist eine dringende Familienangelegenheit.“ Dieses Mal weinte ich nicht. Ich machte keine Szene. Ives war zufrieden – so verständnisvoll, seine Frau. Er hatte keine Ahnung, dass ich bereits alle Verbindungen zur Moretti-Familie kappte. Dass er die Scheidungspapiere längst unterschrieben hatte. Ich war frei.

Sou a melhor falsificadora de arte e especialista em inteligência de Chicago. E me apaixonei pelo homem que comandava tudo: Don Vincenzo Russo. Por dez anos, fui o seu segredo, sua arma e sua mulher. Construí o império dele nas sombras. Achei que ganharia um anel. Afinal, todas as noites em que ele estava nesta cidade, ele se enterrava em mim, tomando o seu prazer. Sussurrava que eu era dele, que ninguém mais o fazia sentir tão bem. Mas desta vez, depois que acabou comigo, ele anunciou que iria se casar com a princesa da Bratva russa, Katerina Petrov. Foi aí que eu entendi. Eu não era a mulher dele. Eu era apenas um corpo. Por uma aliança, por ela, ele me sacrificou. Ele me deixou para morrer. Então destruí cada pedaço da vida que ele me deu. Fiz uma ligação para o meu pai, na Itália. E depois… desapareci. Mas quando o Don que dominava Chicago não conseguiu encontrar o seu brinquedo favorito… ele enlouqueceu.

My best friend breaks down and accuses me of skimming family shipments, which cost us billions. Without hesitation, my fiance, Don Scarpa Falcone, points a gun at me. The bullet grazes my ear. He sends me to prison himself, then gets engaged to my best friend instead. Before I'm taken away, the family butler begs him, "You raised her yourself. She's your fiancee. You can't just ruin her life like this!" "Break the rules, and pay in blood," he says, polishing his gun. "As for her future, I'll decide that later." Five years later, I walk out of prison. The entire Falcone family is waiting at the gate with him, as if my freedom were a handout. "Looks like you've learned your lesson. It's time to return and get back to work. Don't do anything stupid again," he says. I ignore him and walk straight to the stretch Lincoln behind him. The door opens. Chris Corleone, the king of the Aurelian underworld, raises his glass to me. "Welcome back, partner."

Soy la mejor falsificadora de arte y especialista en inteligencia de Chicago. Y me enamoré del hombre que lo poseía todo, Don Vincenzo Russo. Durante diez años, fui su secreto, su arma y su mujer. Construí su imperio desde las sombras. Pensé que recibiría un anillo. Después de todo, cada noche que estaba en esta ciudad, estaba enterrado dentro de mí, tomando su placer. Me susurraba que yo era suya y que nadie más se sentía tan bien. Pero esta vez, después de terminar conmigo, anunció que se casaría con la princesa rusa de la Bratva, Katerina Petrov. Ahí fue cuando lo supe. Yo no era su mujer. Solo era un cuerpo. Por una alianza, por ella, me sacrificó. Me dejó morir. Así que destruí cada pieza de la vida que me dio. Hice una llamada a mi padre en Italia. Y luego, desaparecí. Pero cuando el Don, dueño de Chicago, no pudo encontrar su juguete favorito... se volvió loco.

Elena Russo lost the one person who meant the world to her brother, and ever since then; she was deeply fueled by the strong urge for revenge on the family that murdered him. She dedicated her life to this cause as an understated waitress by day and a renowned genius hacker in the Mafia underworld by night. All her efforts to track down the Moretti family were useless. Everyone knew who they were, yet no one knew them. What happens when Elena decides to loosen up on a certain night and recklessly has a one-night stand with the same man she had been searching for all her life-Luca Moretti? And when she finds herself falling deeply for this same person, and facing a shocking revelation that all she had believed for years was nothing but a lie, what happens next? Why don't you find out?

Ava Parker, the daughter of a notorious American mafia family, is about to marry Riccardo De Lucca, her late sister’s fiancé. He’s the guy she’s secretly loved since the first moment she saw him ten years ago when she was only fourteen years old. After two years apart, she’s shocked to find he’s not the same man she fell for. The Riccardo in front of her is a ruthless figure, ready to turn her life into a nightmare. All she’s ever wanted is to break free. Living in her sister’s shadow has never been easy for her. But fate has other plans for her so it seems. Riccardo has his own reasons for wanting to marry Ava. He’s out for revenge against those who caused his fiancée's death and is willing to go to any lengths to achieve it, even if it means hurting the wrong person. He always thought Ava was meek, but he quickly discovers there’s a fiery spirit in her that drives him wild. As the barriers between them start to crumble, their connection becomes something neither can control. Ava has to navigate the dangerous world of the mafia while grappling with her undeniable attraction to the man she vowed to never love again. And Riccardo? He’s determined to claim her completely—body, mind, and soul.

My boyfriend has always doted on me. However, after learning that I can't go to work at the bank after falling and injuring myself, he snaps at me. "Why didn't you tell me you switched shifts with someone else? That was a cheap move!" I don't refute him. Instead, I pull out a hospitalization record as I watch the bank descend into chaos. In my past life, I attended to a couple who wanted to deposit five million dollars into their account. Their child had been diagnosed with a rare illness. They'd gotten the money by selling their organs and mortgaging the home—it was to save their child's life and pay for the surgery the following day. However, the money was stolen the following day. I helped them check where the money was withdrawn, but the surveillance footage showed I was the one who did it. My best friend wept when the couple questioned me. "You shouldn't have stolen the money someone needed to save a life, no matter how materialistic and covetous you are!" My boyfriend hurried over and said, "I wondered why you suddenly had money to buy a car—you stole it! You're heartless!" The child died after failing to receive treatment in time, and the couple stabbed me to death on the streets out of devastation. When I open my eyes again, I think injuring myself will help me escape this. To my surprise, the surveillance cameras once again capture me stealing the money.
