THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE
“Let me go Sandro I do not want this marriage anymore”
Five years ago, Elena Moretti made a mistake, a careless one. A one night stand with a stranger, she thought everything was fine if she could pretend it never happened but when that night left her pregnant, her parents forced her into marriage with the ruthless, cold Alessandro De Luca.
Alessandro never wanted a wife. Marriage meant nothing to him but he was forced into a marriage with the girl he had a one night stand with, a girl from a family with a falling empire, convinced she did this to seduce him for her family gain he made their marriage-unbearable, loveless, distant and built on nothing but obligation. For five years Elena endured his cruelty raising their son in silence.
Now she’s done, she wants out.
But just as she prepares to leave, their daughter is kidnapped by Sandro’s enemies, forcing them into working together. As they navigate a deadly game of power and betrayal, Elena starts to see the man behind the monster—the husband who was never hers, the father willing to burn the world for their child.
Is it too late to turn hatred into love? Or is she going to take the risk of opening her heart again to the man who hurt her?

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE—UNWANTED TRUTHALESSANDRO My business trip to New York was a success. It had always been my family’s dream to break into the American market, and build a casino. That was something I had worked toward for years. Now, it was finally happening. It felt almost surreal, considering how much I had sacrificed to reach this point. But I did it. I just had to ensure nothing disrupted my progress.A few more meetings and the deal will be finalized. In two months, construction would begin.Back in my office at the club I owned downtown, the same place I had first met Elena. I leaned back in my chair, absently swirling a glass of whiskey. I hadn’t seen her since that day at her parent’s house and that was for the best. The last thing I needed was a distraction, and she had the power to throw me completely off course.I hated admitting it.Keeping my distance was the only option.I had already rejected her Father’s business proposal and wouldn't make the mistake of screwing his daughter behind his back. Normal

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT—TWENTY-FOUR HOURSELENA The moment Papà reentered the room with the gun, I felt a shiver down my spine.I knew this would happen. I knew.But knowing didn’t make it less terrifying.I stood in front of Papà before he could do something, such as going off to Alessandro’s house with a gun in his hand.“Papà listen to me, you do not want to do this, it will cause issues”.Mamma stood off to the side, arms crossed, her nails digging into her skin. She wasn’t going to stop him. Of course she wasn’t.I could feel Alessia’s eyes on me, silently willing me to handle this before it got worse.Because if there was one thing we all knew about Papà, it was that when he picked up that gun, he wouldn’t put it down until blood had been spilled.“Gather the men” he said to Mario who was already with his own gun.I straightened my back and mustered enough courage to meet his gaze.“You can’t.”His nostrils flared. “I can’t?”.“He doesn’t know.” The words came out too fast, too desperate. “Alessandro doesn’t know. He h

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN—PREGNANT ELENAMy eyes widened as I saw Papà. He was leisurely standing at the doorway. “Damn it”. I muttered. I had forgotten to close the door.“What do you mean you’re pregnant?”. He repeated again. This time his voice was harsher than the first.I quickly stood up from Alessia’s bed,I looked at the floor, unwilling to meet his cold gaze. I thought hard on what to say, but I couldn’t come up with anything.“It’s just an assumption”. I replied under my breath. “Is this true?”. Papá faced Alessia who was out of the bed. Her eyes, devoid of any sleep.I gave her a subtle sign not to say anything.“I am not sure Papà. I am just hearing this for the first time too”. She replied smoothly. Before Papá could respond, mamma rushed into the room.“What’s all the noise for?. She asked no one in particular.“You should ask your daughter”. Papà scoffed. His eyes boring holes in my body.“Elena, what’s going on?”. I looked around, everyone was staring at me, expecting me to talk.“She’s pregnant”. Pap

Chapter: CHAPTER 6–Facing the consequences ELENAI took my time arranging myself, making sure not to rush back. The last thing I needed was someone seeing us coming out at the same time. Once I was certain enough time had passed, I returned to the dining room—only to find that they had already left.I shot a quick look at Alessia, but she averted her gaze.“Dove sei stato? (Where have you been?)” My papà’s voice cut through the air as I sat down.Shifting uncomfortably in my seat, I muttered, “The bathroom.”“How long do you spend there?”“On my way back, something caught my attention, so I stopped for a moment.”He gave me one last look before pushing his chair back and leaving. My mamma followed, throwing me her own disapproving glance before disappearing after him.I turned to Alessia. “What did I do now?”“You left before dinner was finished. That’s bad manners—especially in front of guests,” she said, unimpressed.I didn’t respond. Instead, I reached for the champagne bottle and poured myself a drink.“How did the meeting

Chapter: CHAPTER 5–CAUGHTELENA Papà had made it clear—we were expected at tonight’s dinner meeting. I would have protested, but I knew better. No one went against his word.“Do you have any idea who they are?” I asked Alessia as we stood side by side in the bathroom, getting ready.She shook her head. “No clue. But whoever he is, papà doesn’t want us screwing this up. This might be our only chance at survival.”“Hmm. I still don’t want to be there. I’d rather be watching TV. These meetings bore me to death.”“We don’t have a choice, Lena.” Alessia shot me a look. “Now let’s go. Everyone’s already gathered.”With a sigh, I followed her out. But as we approached the dining hall, I stopped mid-step. My breath hitched, my pulse spiking in an instant. Alessia turned, brows furrowed.“Something wrong?”“I’m in big trouble,” I muttered through clenched teeth.The man seated at the table—the one my Papà wanted to strike a deal with—was none other than my one-night stand.Panic clawed at my chest. Did they know about

Chapter: CHAPTER 4–Gone without a traceALESSANDRO The first thing I noticed was the silence.It was unnatural.My hand instinctively reached for the space beside me, where she had been last night. Cold sheets. Empty.My eyes snapped open.I sat up, scanning the room, then moved swiftly to the bathroom. Empty. The living area? Nothing. I stepped onto the balcony, searching the streets below. Not a single trace of her.I ran a hand through my hair, my jaw tightening.She was gone.I exhaled sharply, irritation curling in my gut. Women didn’t leave me. I dictated how things ended. Yet, the girl from last night had vanished before the sun even rose, slipping through my fingers like a ghost.Interesting.I closed my eyes, letting the memories of last night crash into me.The way she looked at me—those wide, innocent blue eyes studying me like I was something dangerous but irresistible. The way her soft lips had parted under my touch, her moans, her body responding to me with a fire she didn’t even know she possessed.She was d
