Why Does Don Lorenzo Have Gold Teeth

Inside the mediation room at the police station, my passenger looked disheveled with messy hair and rumpled clothes. She cried as she complained to the police officer, “Sir, it’s him! The Grab driver had bad intentions! He even tried to harass me! “People like him should be put in jail! And I want compensation for the emotional distress he caused me!” Right after she finished speaking, she slumped down on the floor and threw a tantrum. I could not believe someone could be this shameless. All I did was tell her not to smoke in the car, and she falsely accused me of harassing her. On top of it, I was a woman too! It was just that I usually dressed less femininely. How could I possibly have harassed her?

Eu estava casada havia cinco anos com Matteo, o Don da família Lamberti. Ninguém sabia que eu era sua esposa. Eu não queria os privilégios. Nem os holofotes. Então permaneci invisível. Nós estávamos apaixonados. Ainda parecia que estávamos namorando todos os dias. Então meu primeiro dia no novo hospital destruiu tudo. — Dra. Accardi, você não vai acreditar nisso. — Uma colega se inclinou, sorrindo. — Adivinha quem é o marido daquela nova paciente? Matteo, o maldito Matteo Lamberti. Eu congelei. Se ela era a esposa dele… então quem era eu? Ela estava grávida. Carregando o futuro herdeiro da família Lamberti. Então o que isso fazia do bebê dentro de mim? Eu me controlei. Fiz o exame. Interpretei o papel da médica calma e competente. Ninguém viu o pânico me dilacerando por dentro. Eu disse a mim mesma que era apenas fofoca. Mentiras. Tinha que ser. Então ouvi Matteo chamá-la de "minha princesa". Aquilo foi o fim. Ele tinha uma nova "princesa". E eu precisava deixá-lo ir.

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.

En nuestro séptimo aniversario de bodas, estaba montada sobre las piernas de mi esposo, Lucian, el Don de la mafia, besándolo con pasión. Mis dedos hurgaban con disimulo en el bolsillo de mi costoso vestido de seda, buscando la prueba de embarazo que había escondido ahí. Quería guardarme la noticia inesperada para el final de la noche. La mano derecha de Lucian, Marco, preguntó con una sonrisa sugerente en italiano: —Don… ¿qué tal su nuevo secretito? La risa burlona de Lucian vibró en mi pecho y sentí cómo se me revolvía el estómago. Respondió, también en italiano: —Como un durazno verde. Fresco y tierno. Su mano todavía acariciaba mi cintura, pero tenía la mirada perdida. —Que esto quede entre nosotros. Si mi Donna se entera, me mata. Sus hombres rieron con complicidad, alzando sus copas y jurando guardar el secreto. El calor que sentía en el cuerpo se me fue extinguiendo. Lo que ellos no sabían es que mi abuela era de Sicilia, así que entendí cada una de sus palabras. Me obligué a mantener la calma, con la sonrisa perfecta de una matriarca, pero la mano con la que sostenía la copa de champaña me temblaba. En lugar de hacer una escena, tomé el celular, busqué la invitación que había recibido hacía unos días para un proyecto privado de investigación médica internacional y acepté. En tres días, iba a desaparecer del mundo de Lucian.

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?

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.

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.
