Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia
•••[Excerpt]•••
"Stop... Stop!" Rosana's voice quivered as tears of fright brimmed her vision.
She had been crying for hours, but not because she was leaving the beautiful life she had planned with her fiance behind. She was crying because her newly wedded husband had tortured and murdered a man mercilessly on their wedding night.
"Stop, please..." He ignored her. "No... Stop touching me. Take your bloody hands off me!" Indeed, his hands were covered with the blood of the man he had killed earlier. But he didn't care.
"S... Stop touching me!" He grabbed her neck and she gasped, her eyes widening in shock.
"You shouldn't make me do this on our wedding night, Bambolina. You are mine and I will take whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, and however I want, till death do us part, Mi Amor"
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Rosana Marcello was already living the life she had dreamt about. With her boyfriend-turned-fiance by her side, nothing could be more perfect. Some weeks before the wedding, she was called back home by her parents and welcomed with devastating news.
She had been betrothed since when she was a little girl but never knew. Now, he has come to claim what is rightfully his. With or without her approval.
He is deadly,
He is evil,
He is the ruthless Sergio De Niro, known by everyone.
Rosana can't escape this. She can't run away from him because he will comb the world and kill everyone in it, just to find her.
She is now his possession, his property.
It's either she tames him and melts his cold heart or he breaks her into a thousand pieces.
Will she succeed or get consumed by his burning hell?

Chapter: Chapter 182Enzo's mind reeled, struggling to process the revelation. The past and present collided, threatening to upend everything—the secrets she'd kept, the lies she'd told, and the truths she'd hidden, partially exposed. What more could she have hidden from him?Rio, oblivious to the turmoil raging within Enzo, happily jumped up from his seat. "Catch me if you can!" Then, he ran off.Enzo, familiar with the game, stood up and ran after him, trying to catch him. The sun-drenched playground echoed with Rio's laughter as they chased after each other. Suddenly, Rio's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he waved enthusiastically."Mammà! My Mammà is here!" As Enzo's gaze followed him, his blood ran cold. Frozen in place, he watched as Lucretia walked towards the playground, her strides elegant, as always. She scanned the playground and once she found Rio, she smiled softly. "There you are!" The boy sprinted toward her with a ball in hand. "Mammà, come see! I made a new friend, he saved me from

Chapter: Chapter 181Rio stepped out of the room, his small frame trembling. He had watched the scene unfold through the window and though he hadn't seen everything, he knew the unknown man had saved him. He had defeated the bad man who now lay motionless on the ground.Enzo, sensing his presence, shifted his gaze from the lifeless man. His eyes locked on Rio and for a moment, he froze. Those eyes... They were identical to Lucretia's, deep green.His expression faltered as a flicker of emotion crossed his face. The resemblance was uncanny—the same deep green that had haunted him for months. Memories came flooding back, but he locked them away and hardened his expression."Are you okay?" He asked and Rio nodded, taking small steps forward. "You should not be out here""Yes. Nana Silvana said to stay inside, but then, the bad man came." Nana Silvana? Enzo had thought the woman was the boy's mother. "You are safe now.""And the... And the bad man?"Enzo's expression softened. "He will never harm you again,

Chapter: Chapter 180"Once I'm gone, lock the door from the inside," Silvana instructed Rio, her expression serious. "Do not go outside. Do you understand?""Yes, Nana." He nodded solemnly."Remember, do not open the door for anyone except your Mammà or me." "Yes, Nana," Rio replied, his brows furrowed with concern. "Is Mammà alright? I saw bruises on her face this morning"Silvana's face softened. Despite Lucretia's attempt to hide from the boy, he had noticed the bruises anyway. "She is... alright, dear, you do not have to worry about her. That is why you must stay safe inside and keep the door locked. I will be back in no time"With a reassuring smile, Silvana departed and Rio obediently did as instructed, his mind filled with worry. His mother's changed behavior troubled him and the fact that she wasn't herself anymore. The past few months had been filled with hushed conversations between Aunt Silvana and his mother who often whispered of "Paying the price" and that "He's coming for her." Rio could

Chapter: Chapter 179NEXT MORNING~Lucretia stood at her kitchen sink, bracing herself against the cool countertop. The trembling of her hands subsided slowly as she gripped the edge of the sink, her head bowed in exhaustion. She couldn't sleep the whole night as the image of the men who had attacked her kept flashing in her mind, including the mysterious man who had saved her. Her thoughts swirled, reliving the terror of the alley. Each memory triggered a fresh wave of fear that made her stomach churn. She retched, but nothing came up. Her fingers instinctively went to the tender skin of her neck where Domingo had gripped her and she winced at the haunting memories it brought back.Enzo should've killed her at once, instead of letting her live. She had felt the life draining out of her when he encircled his fingers on her throat, but then his hands had fallen limp as he slipped away.Attempting to calm her racing heart, she forced herself to breathe deeply. If not for the mysterious stranger, she'd be g

Chapter: Chapter 178"No, it isn't!" Lucretia gritted and darted towards the narrow gap between two dumpsters. Before she could make it through, she was grasped by the hair and tossed harshly to the ground."Always thinking you're fucking smart" Domingo laughed and walked over to where she was now struggling to raise herself from the ground. He crouched in front of her and grasped her hair, pulling her head backward so she was now looking into his face."But you're not!" He added and landed a hard slap on her face that sent her back to the ground."What the fuck do you want from me?!?""From you? Oh, everything!" He replied languidly and grasped hair one more time."Why? I did as you fucking asked!""That's what I thought. Until I found out the mission was unsuccessful, you fucking failed" He responded and smacked her on the cheek once more. "And he is alive!"Lucretia spat our blood as she struggled to get up from the ground. "He's fucking dead, I saw it, you saw it. Unless you were fucking blind"Domin

Chapter: Chapter 177The leather strap cracked against Alberto's back, the sound echoing through the room. His cries were all that was heard, his pleas for mercy drowned out by the relentless cracking of the belt. "You should have taken the throne," Sergio repeated, each word punctuated by another strike. His expression remained impassive, his eyes glinting with cold intensity.In rapt silence, the men who had been ordered out of the meeting room and the soldiers watched, witnessing Alberto's public downfall. They all knew Sergio was merely toying with him. An actual fight would've ended in minutes, with Alberto broken and covered in bruises. But instead of using his fists, the Don had chosen to wield his belt as a tool of discipline.The measured strikes, the steady pace, and Sergio's unruffled demeanor served as a potent reminder of his unshakable power and authority. This wasn't about vengeance, neither was it a punishment. It was a deliberate showcase of his supremacy."Please... forgive me! I am you

Chapter: Chapter 45Renee's POVDuring lunch, I noticed Shane was absent which meant he had skipped. Theoden was nowhere to be found and that's because he was practicing with the other teammates for an important game this weekend.Layla just sat alone, eating her sandwich and drinking her raspberry juice. She looked so lonely but who cares? Heard she never pays attention to any guy except Shane and Theoden.She constantly rejects any boy who asks her out and wouldn't give a damn reason for it. They don't just know she's madly in love with someone else. She has fallen head over heels for Shane and doesn't need any other person.Sadly, I don't think he feels the same way for her. "Which shit hole did Derek crawl out from?" Ashley asked, sipping her orange juice. I followed her eyes and saw him walking into the cafeteria with Kyle. "He hasn't been in school for weeks"The former was the dickhead I met at the freshmen party. He had remained glued to my side and wouldn't let any guy lay their hands on me. He

Chapter: Chapter 44Renee's POV"Don't you have better things to do than hitting him all the fucking time, huh?" Everyone turned to look at me in shock as I stood in front of the crowd where the fight was going on.The students crowded Shane and Kyle without even bothering to interfere or put an end to the fight. They all feared Kyle and never tried to meddle in his affairs or cross his path."Get the fuck away from him" I added.His muscles tightened at my command and he was forced to pause his hand in midair. He didn't turn to look at me but I could tell he was raging inside. He finally lowered his hand and quietly stood on his feet.Shane's face was bloody, especially his nose. I could bet it was broken, poor boy. He's been at rest for the past few days until the moment Kyle decided to show up in school. Kyle Lindton is fucking handsome, I'll give him that. He's a sexy, aggressive, pompous dickwad. "That's the bitch, Kyle," Kendall glared from behind him. She had been trying to stop her twin from be

Chapter: Chapter 43Renee's POV "Has anyone seen Shane? I've checked his room but he's not in there"We immediately pulled away like we were burning each other and I cursed under my breath, wishing Layla's neck was in my hands. I'd strangle her. I fucking will. Maybe one day or night, whichever. Fuck!"Have you checked outside?" Mrs. Grace asked. They were still in the dining room.Shane cleared his throat and I turned to look at him. He looked all red and I watched him fidget nervously with his fingers. Damn, those fingers were so close. He was so fucking close."Get the fuck out of here" I groaned as I poured myself another glass of milk because I wasted the first one."I'm... I'm sorry... I ... I shouldn't have""Which part of 'Get the fuck out' did you not understand?" I asked and turned to glare at him. Fuck, I was boiling inside and that's because I was deeply aroused. My body was still on fire and guess whose fault that is."I'm... I'm sorry" He muttered once again and scurried out of the kitchen

Chapter: Chapter 42Shane's POVAs I walked out of the room, she yelled in anger and I sighed. What's wrong with her? She's been acting differently for some time now unlike the Layla I knew and grew up with.When I got inside my room, I lay down on the bed and tried to fall asleep but couldn't. I then decided to take a shower but it didn't ease the restlessness I was feeling.I kept thinking about her even when I tried to study. What was she doing at the party right now and who was she dancing with? The thought of it made me sick as I remembered the guy I purposely pushed away, just to get her away from Kade.I kept checking the time, hoping she'd come back sooner but she didn't. Theoden got back from the party an hour after dinner and I had expected her to come home too.Theoden was a little bit drunk and I couldn't ask him to take me to the party. I couldn't ask Layla cause she'd only get mad. She didn't come down for dinner and even after realizing that, I didn't go to check up on her because I was th

Chapter: Chapter 41Shane's POVWhen we got back home from school, Layla rushed out of the car immediately and got into the house. I could tell she was mad at me because she refused to talk to me or even listen to what I had to sayNo matter how I tried to explain, she wouldn't understand that I only went to the party to save Renee from my brother. I should've told her the truth when she texted me that night but I couldn't because she would've gotten very much angry anyway. Besides, the both of them don't seem to get along and I can't tell why."Okay, what's going on here? She seems pretty mad. Don't tell me you're responsible for that" I looked at Theo and sighed. Of course, I was the reason for it. "What? That's unbelievable. How did it happen?"He was surprised because this is the first time it was happening. Layla and I had rules and we followed them respectively. We never made each other angry and we never kept secrets. We used to argue about who would break the rules first and we always concluded

Chapter: Chapter 40Shane's POV"You didn't have to follow me here, dad, I'm fine"He sighed and touched his forehead with his fingers. He looked stressed and sadly, it was because of his sons. Georgia stood behind him and I noticed she was on the verge of bursting into tears once again."I just had to make sure you arrived safely" He said softly "I'm sorry about everything. You're my son and you shouldn't be running away from home because of your brother's ill behaviors towards you. I know you don't like me defending you but this is the last time your brother would ever hurt you, I promise""It's not his fault. He was just acting out of anger" Yes he was but it wasn't any of my fault that he had gotten into an accident that left him severely injured."I don't care, Shane. I've made a decision and that's final. I don't care if he ends up getting killed"I furrowed my brows. What?!?What was he planning to do to Kade? I looked at Georgia for answers but it was clear she didn't have any this time around. F
