The Marcello's empire Lost bride
Raya Dante had everything—a loving fiancé, a best friend she trusted, and a seemingly perfect life—until the night she walked in on the ultimate betrayal. Thrown off a building and left for dead, she crashes onto the windshield of Italy’s most powerful and ruthless Mafia boss, Marcello Warner.
Marcello has spent years searching for his lost fiancée and sister, and when he sees Raya’s face, he is convinced she is the woman he’s been desperately hunting for. With no memory of her past, Raya is thrust into a dangerous marriage with a man she doesn’t understand—one who holds the key to secrets buried deep within her shattered mind.
As Marcello helps Raya take brutal revenge on those who wronged her, a new threat emerges—the same organization that tore them apart years ago. When a mysterious woman claiming to be Marcello’s real fiancée arrives, Raya’s entire existence is thrown into question. Is she truly the lost bride, or just a pawn in someone else’s deadly game?
Betrayals mount, lies unravel, and with enemies lurking in the shadows, Raya must uncover the truth before she loses everything—including the man who swore he would never let her go. But when the final battle comes, will Marcello stand by her side, or will he believe the imposter who has stolen her place?

Chapter: Hollow home Raya's pov "Mrs Marcello," The doctor called subtly as he stepped into the room.My spine stiffened at the name, I couldn't bring myself to get used to that name no matter how many times it was used."Can I be discharged already?" I asked, my body itching to be freed from this hospital."Yes, the chauffeur is already waiting outside to drive you home," He explained, accompanied by a knock on the door.Two men walked in, one dressed in uniform and the other dressed in an all-black suit."They're your chauffeur and your bodyguard," "I don't need a bodyguard, maybe a driver once in a while but a bodyguard no," I refused but the all-black man only stood still as though he was deaf to every single word I was saying."I'm sorry Mrs. Marcello, but I was sent to be your bodyguard by your husband, and under no condition must I leave your side," he finished, his voice deep and unwavering.I let out an exasperated sigh, my fingers curling into the hospital blanket. "Of course he did," I mutter

Chapter: BurntMarcello's pov Chapter 8I crouched in front of him, gripping his jaw tightly, forcing him to meet my gaze. "You thought you could use my resources to destroy innocent lives?" I murmured, my voice dangerously calm. "Now, let's see how you like being on the receiving end."I pressed the blunt, rusted knife against his trembling flesh, dragging it slowly, deliberately, letting him feel every jagged edge as it tore through his skin. His screams turned to ragged gasps, his body twitching violently against the restraints.Aaron stood beside me, silent but watchful. He knew better than to interrupt.The other men, the thieves and traitors, watched in paralyzed terror as I carved retribution into the rapist’s flesh. By the time I was done, he was a whimpering, blood-soaked mess."And here's the murderer right?" I asked and walked away from the rapist to the man who caused his wife to lose her pregnancy."No—no, no," He trashed violently against the chair."How much were the drugs found in h

Chapter: What they deserve Chapter 7Marcello's pov I arched a brow. "Then make me understand."His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. "If I talk, I'm dead either way."I leaned in, my voice a low, menacing whisper. "You were dead the moment you crossed me. The only difference is how much you suffer before it happens."His jaw clenched, his entire body taut with tension. But the fear in his eyes had taken over now."They’re bigger than you think," he muttered, his voice barely audible. "You're not the only predator in this game, Marcello."I smirked. "Oh, I never assumed I was. But I am the only one standing in front of you right now."A broken, bitter chuckle escaped his lips. "You're in deeper than you know."I grabbed his face roughly, forcing him to look at me. "Who. Are. They?"He hesitated, and I pulled back, pressing the barrel of the gun against his temple. "Names, Diego. Or I'll personally see to it that your daughter ends up the way Raya did,"His breath hitched. "The Vasquez cartel," he choked out.

Chapter: Disposal Chapter 6Marcello's pov "Shall we begin then?" I asked, holding my hands out to take a knife."Just kill me, because I'm not going to say anything to you," he said, struggling to be freed."Death is too easy for you Diego, I've a better thing to do to make you talk," A thin smirk formed on my face as I toyed with the knife in my hands, shifting closer to me."First question, why have you been lying to me?" I asked, but he only stared, his mouth particularly shut.I grazed the tip of the knife along his cheek, not deep enough to draw blood, but enough to make him flinch. Diego clenched his jaw, refusing to give me the satisfaction of a reaction."You've been feeding me lies for months," I continued, my voice eerily calm. "And I don’t take kindly to betrayal."Still, he said nothing.I let out a low chuckle. "You're stubborn, I'll give you that." Then, without warning, I pressed the knife against his arm, dragging the blade just enough to break the skin. A thin line of crimson followe

Chapter: Catching a liar Chapter 5Marcello's pov "Mr Marcello," the lawyer called as I stepped outside of the hospital room."I need the signed papers," He said and I stared down at the marriage certificate clenched tightly in my hands."What do you need it for?" I asked gruffly.The lawyer adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. "I need to file it with the court to ensure its legal recognition. The sooner we finalize everything, the better."I tightened my grip on the paper, my jaw clenching. "Are you having second thoughts, Mr. Marcello?" the lawyer asked, his voice neutral but observant.I exhaled sharply, my gaze drifting toward the hospital room door. Inside, she was still unconscious, unaware of the choices being made around her.Second thoughts? No. Regrets? Never I just need to make sure whoever put her in that state pays for it.I finally met the lawyer’s gaze. "Give me a moment.""I need you to make sure that every single thing about it is carefully documented, every single place. Put the pr

Chapter: Marriage. RevengeChapter 4 Raya's POVHe walked out of the door, and I turned around to stare at the hospital room and intricate designs of the room while trying to make sense of this stranger's words.My eyes barely caught the reflection of myself in the mirror when the door was softly pushed open followed by a doctor and several nurses in pale blue scrubs."Mrs Marcello," the doctor called, smiling softly at me."Y— you, I think you're mistaken, my name is Raya," I corrected, bowing slightly out of habit, lowering my head to apologize when I felt a sharp fiery stab shoot through my spine with my every breath. I winced as my fingers curled tightly around the bedsheet until I could feel my knuckles turn white."Mrs Marcello," The doctor called, running closer to me. I blinked my eyes rapidly, with cold sweat coating my forehead, as I tried desperately to hold back the burning tears in my eyes."It's fine Mrs Marcello, it's the effect of the accident, your spine was broken and you had a lot of injurie
